  1. Admitted he really isn't the Best Naraku?
  2. Words to live by with any gas powered equipment.
  3. Ten years to get $500 and some slap-and-tickle? I can't fathom how you have the will to get up in the morning.
  4. I'm surprised too. If there's a more perfect candidate for taking advantage of unsuspecting stoners, I'd like to see him.
  5. I guess that always made it harder. The kind of work he put in to better himself was nothing to make fun of, but he just was not a smart man.
  6. To be clear, the topic of this thread is stupid. So... I guess it's been so long, that the last time I went on a tangent about word origin was on Lithium. There will always be certain words that can not be anything other than what they are. The word n****r was created to be dehumanizing to blacks, not just an existing word adapted to be dehumanizing (like f****t). In this case, it's a bastardization of "negro," being transformed in the process of being converted to English based on the sound of the word rather than the meaning. I know this isn't exactly you point, but it's worth mentioning that the word can never be used is because its impossible to redefine a word to completely eliminate its original usage. Language adapts by building on to a word's definition - a etymological chain is created where the word's definition is expanded by a change in context that has some logical connection to the base definition.
  7. I never understood why Crapshot said that, but Sly got him dead to rights.
  8. You suck, bro.
  9. The whole "under the table" thing was kind of a tell. The thing is I'm not a drywaller - most of my experience is with touch up work that needs to be done when I can't get one of my guys out to do it. As for the insulation, I think it's still fiberglass? I don't really deal with it beyond what I see in submittals, and its still fiberglass on those.
  10. That should be more than enough for power washing a sidewalk. Maybe your machine itself is just shit, but it could be the wrong nozzle tip too.
  11. Lol. Might be a bit too short term. Have to suffice for a whiskey or two. Also, I have an electric jackhammer in my garage - fun to play with. I don't mind rocking, but as soon as it comes to taping my work turns to shit.
  12. Lol. Wanna do construction?
  13. They're also a lot more difficult to maintain.
  14. This. Words don't lose their meaning over time; the meaning is simply modified through addition as time goes by.
  15. Electric pressure washers work just fine, unless you're try to fuck up shit on purpose.
  16. I kinda forgot about this thread, and it looks like I missed Sandy calling me a "n***a" for some awkward reason. I somewhat agree with the the sentiment that it's not so much using the word as it is acknowledging the consequences of using that word are something that the speaker can not control. The problem with that word (or f****t,or r****d) is that there is a cultural component. A white guy, for instance, might not believe that black people are still suppressed and using the word shouldn't have the same effect as when a slave master is beating the crap out of his property but will tacitly acknowledge the fact that black people are as a whole disadvantaged by the economy. In general, there is no situation where using that word doesn't elicit institutional racism as a matter of course. I shouldn't talk though. I use r****d as if it isn't offensive to the many people who suffer from developmental disorder.
  17. Geez, Phillies.... Is your biological clock ticking that loud?
  18. Well, looks like Kenny's imposter confirmed as racist sack of shit.
  19. Might need to have an air balance done. Also, you might want to invest in drapes with an insulation value.
  20. Interesting. I can imagine how poorly that must work.
  21. It would be somewhat unusual for two stories to share one air handler.
  22. Are there supply and return registers upstarts?
  23. He is extremely self assured, to the point where he kind of rubs it in people's faces. He seems better suited for wrestling then MMA.
  24. Well, I don't suppose the distinction is made of what is an enemy, but its nonetheless obvious that a fighter is defined by his actions rather than the actions of others. Thus, the good fighter is the one that perseveres regardless of the enemy.
