heh, my brother was bitching about his Filipino nanny the other day. Between what he pays her and another part time job she works at, her taxable income last year was about 45k. So she's maybe taking home 35k. Apparently her and her now ex-boyfriend went to a car dealer and bought a used but...

Bogdan Yakimov is looking like he might be a pretty good player in a couple years, once he adjusts to the North American style of play. He turns 20 in a couple weeks, but he's already 6'5" and apparently 230lbs. Most of the prospect website list him as 205 or so, but the Oilers website has said...

I had an old Q9550 c/w motherboard and RAM. I just put it up on the Canadian equivalent of Craig's list for free (Kijiji), along with an old projector with burn-in issues. Shit was picked up from my office in a couple hours. Maybe I could have gotten a couple hundred bucks for it all, but really...

No, better than that. He's contending because his jeans are of such high quality, heavy weight denim, that they will break his phone whereas my terrible Levis or Volcomm or RVCA pieces of crap certainly would not.

At first I was like, it's a 27" monitor, no big. Then I looked up the price of that thing. $899? What the fuck?

I refuse to be optimistic about the Oilers' prospects this year, because that's just lead to heartbreak and sadness the past 8 years. I'll settle for incremental improvements overall and some good bounce back seasons for guys like Yakupov and Schultz. Hopefully Hall continues to be a fucking...

The mention of Cleveland got me curious, so I looked it up a bit. Is it as big of a shithole as it would appear to be?

Like a boss.

Yeah, I kind of have to agree with Big P here. That sort of shit is a pretty good indication that the person is a fucked up person, and quite honestly, as a small business owner it is not my responsibility to babysit or help people fix up their personal lives. It just isn't. I've got enough...

Wait, what? Aren't most corporate bonds "junk" by definition, which is a rating of BB or less? Just look at this ETF's holdings:JNK - SPDR Barclays High Yield Bond ETF | State Street Global Advisors (SSgA) Sprint, Chrysler, Clear Channel, Dish, T-Mobile and numerous other well known, large...

Yeah, no shit. Thanks Requiem.

Welcome to the land of milk and honey. But seriously, 80% of the jobs created in the entirety of Canada last year were in Alberta, 40% in Edmonton alone. The migration numbers are starting to go stupid again. Which means the bust is 12-18 months away, probably.

I would imagine it's a pain, like any immigration issue. But it there are programs for people with useful skills and education.

Sucks man. I hate thieves so fucking bad, such scum.

Yup, the details of the case matter, for sure. Unfortunately this whole Ray Rice thing and the way it has been mishandled is likely to lead to huge overreactions in future cases. I think of the Semyon Varlamov shit, for example, where you really have no idea what truly happened. One second...

As far as DUI's go, that would pretty much be an insta-fire for my company, because many of our guys have to drive company vehicles or travel to job sites that are not transit accessible. If the employee is an otherwise good one, then maybe an exception can be made depending on circumstances...

Even in talking with my absolute best buds, I only ever talk in generalities. "Yeah, the company is going to do about 15 million in revenue this year, our margins are a touch better than they were in the past" etc, where it's obscured how much the company is actually making, how much is coming...

You get a credit from the IRS for foreign taxes you've already paid, and most other countries will have a higher tax rate than the US (with some exceptions for flat tax countries like Singapore, Chile, and several others). So in the end, you'd most likely not end up having to pay a cent to the...

On the one hand, people travelling to some of these off the beaten path destinations are doing it just for the bragging rights. On the other hand, there's a lot of places that I wish I'd been to before they turned in to mainstream destinations that have lost all authenticity and been overrun by...

Keg's actually done some reasonably funny things over the years. I mean, I can't remember any off hand, but he's made me laugh. Wizardhawk though? Never. Not once. I mean I've laughed *at* him, but that's about it. Meth. Not even once.

But halibut.

Don't smiley face me, that's a perfectly valid question. What Dumar said there was that you should only be fucking 20 year olds for sexual conquest and getting your number up (you know, like Antarius), and never look for a long term relationship with a "used up" 30 year old. That's a fucked up...

Nice man, I may do that. Too bad we're just there for a quick 24 hour stop over.

Jesus titty fuck. Why?

Gents, any recommendations for a good hotel in Philly? We'd only be staying one night. Doing a Brovember Oilers/NFL tour, catching the games in Boston and NY on Thurs/Sunday, then the Eagles game on Monday. So really we'd just be taking the train to NY, dropping our shit off at the hotel...

It's amazing that people still don't get the proper usage of eh. That shit's just plain wrong. It's more like this: "Antarius' attitude towards women is pretty despicable, eh?" Basically, it's used to turn an obvious statement in to a rhetorical question. "Pretty nice day out today, eh?" That's...

The Crimean referendum didn't even contain a "status quo" option. The only choices were both essentially separation. So you know, that's a bit of a problem if you want to compare it to the Scotland thing. Also, Putin later admitted that Russian soliders were indeed present in Crimea, while...

Not bad, but I find Rachel Roxx looks fairly similar, and she's got hundreds of videos taking it in the butt.

The biggest thing I noted was the turn-in when cornering. I guess that has a lot to do with the rear engine and stance of the car, but it was pretty impressive. But yeah, it didn't feel crazy fast in a straight line. Whether it was or not, my souped up 335xi felt faster off the line. I actually...

I believe I've said it before, but it's hilarious that the board's local communist views sexual/romantic relationships basically as a value-centered exchange between the sexes. Women's currency is sex, and men's is time/resources/money. Your entire philosophy on women, apparently, is getting the...

PDK. Only drove it a few times before he got the 18's put back on my car, but yeah, it was a pretty fun car to drive.

It's more about the physical movement of the mouse, than it the ball/laser picking up the movement. I much prefer having a mouse pad.

You said Russia is "no longer needed". For the next 2-3 years, it's needed, because you can't just throw money at NASA to speed up the approval/certification process for this. Right from NASA's press release, it says "with a goal of ending the nation's sole reliance on Russia in 2017". That's a...

I know that this is from like 100 pages ago, but please tell me that this was a Brain Candy reference.

The roads here are fucking atrocious in general, and the one he was driving on is especially bad. I don't really blame him, shit happens. I haven't cracked any rims, but I've certainly bent a couple rims and/or "egged" a few tires. We have a shit ton of freeze/thaw cycles in a given winter here...

Fuck yeah man. My car looks terrible with 18's, and it drives like shit. I'm not sure if I can go on.

Also travel/hospitality is worth considering.

I don't know why, but this was hilarious.

Sorry.
