On new cell phones, WTF do they include in "equipment" for the tax? By my guesstimate, if they are charging tax at 8.25% on 2 phones totalling 99.98 that's only $8.25. Also, why did the online ordering tell me $36 and then the girl on the phone tell me $48???
Zoe: Uh huh. River, honey? He's putting the hair away now. River: It'll still be there... waiting.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Hee! I didn't even think of that.
You know what's fun? Watching the number of surveys go up. This is too cool.

Thrive to spite them
VW -- how much did it cost to get your brakes fixed? I found a guy I can take my car too, so this is good. I just have to make arrangements to get it there and to work and also how I'm going to pay for the repair. I don't think the guy will take an IOU.

GRRRRRRRRR! Why don't these freaking phone people know how to enter my frequent flier number so I get my miles???

Mine were $350. But, I think they were pretty bad.

Herding cats for fun
{{{Aimee}}} Your grandpa looks like a heckuva good guy. Our world is better because of his time here. Plus I think taking Em is a Really Good Idea. My cousin brought his baby son to my Grandma's funeral, and he made all of us feel better, toddling around like a little redheaded symbol of hope.
I say that for the rest of the day, you have full rights to get the comfy chair, many tequila shots and a nice pedicure too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm pretty sure that would be more than just the pads. I somehow managed to ruin the rotors (discs) in my Focus and it ended up costing me about $300.

Yeah if the breaks are just squeaking and not grinding, then it's probably just the pads and will likely be in the $100 ballpark, but if the breaks are also causing the car to vibrate then the rotor might need to be turned too and that will add another $50 - $90 or so.

Always Anti-fascist!
Bug, not that I expect you to use this but "snarky" has a very dear place in the heart of Homicide fans as well, dating from the following
KELLERMAN: You sure you want me with you?
BAYLISS: Sure. Why?
KELLERMAN: Last time we worked together you were kind of...snarky.
BAYLISS: Snarky?
KELLERMAN: Yeah. Snarky. From the ancient Greek for "butthead".
