This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Yeah, I was pleased with not having to lie about list my weight.

Last time I renewed in VA, it wasn't on there anymore. I mentioned it, and the woman said "yeah, we we tired of people lying to us." DC lists it though. and I lied.

Bring your passport. I've accidentally traveled on an expired ID and it means you'll get the full security search at every possible opportunity. They may even make it more of a problem now, it's been a few years since I did the travel on an expired ID and they've made things even tighter since then.

I got kicked out of a bar cause I had an expired driver's license and they wouldn't accept my dependant military ID.

Shoot, not like my birthday changes when my license expires. Geeeze.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

not like my birthday changes when my license expires. Geeeze.

I guess the idea is that someone else could be using your valid ID at the same time, but I've never had that verified.

Note to co-workers: the connotation of the word "critical" in the project management term "critical path" is not coincidental or worthy of dismissal.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Did they punch out the expiration date?

Nope, she just gave it back, along with the paper temp license (Which I can't imagine anyone outside of NYS taking seriously. It's a piece of paper! But yet, I used the last one I got as ID at a bar.)

Technically, it won't be expired until the day after the date on it, right? Meh.

Yes! I know....someone...who used to use an expired ID to get booze before they turned 21.

Found a B&N downtown and picked up a gift card. Now all I need to do is pick up a $5 Yankee swap gift, and I believe my Christmas shopping is done.

Me too! Also, a friend used someone's expired over18 and under 21 license to get into bars that let in underage people. Which made me laugh

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

In NJ, the photos are digital, and you can see it right after they take it, then decide whether to keep or reject that one. I'm not sure if there's a limit to how many you can take -- I went with the third one on my last licence.

(My first licence, and maybe my second one too (in 1997 and 2001) were the old non-digital kind. They'd take the picture with a polaroid-type camera, type out the text part of the licence on a typewriter, paste the picture to the licence, then laminate the whole thing. Everyone at college who had a fake ID had a fake NJ licence -- you could make them with photoshop, a decent printer, glue, a laminating machine, and some gold spray paint to fake the watermark.)
