Which side of the fence?




If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!



If a Conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a Liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a Conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a Liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a Conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

If a Conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a Conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.

If a Conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.

If a Conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A Liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If a Conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A Liberal will delete it because he's "offended".

Coming home from a killer DJ show last night, 4 of us jump in a cab and start making our way home. So we are coming up to a light and we notice another cab totalled with people crawling out of it, the force of the hit looked like it caused the cab to spin up a curb and into a post. There was another car north of it parked (which we think was the one that hit the cab) with no one at it and a mitsubishi lancer on the overpass parked in the other direction. As we are asking the people in the cab if they are all ok we notice a fight at the mitsubishi and a man pushes a woman, jumps in the car and started peeling out with her hanging off the door. She was dragged about 60 feet before falling off and hitting the ground hard. Our cabby chases after the mitsubishi into silver spring community to get the plates cause we thought this was the car that hit the cab and we weren't going to let him get away without getting the plates. after another intersection, the guy hoops the median onto the wrong lane, than he hoops it again to get to the right lane almost flipping the car. Shortly after he stops when he realized we were after him, jumps out and screams at us (saying nothing just a noise) we got the plate and called it in. I would have jumped out but I was not in the right state of mind to be doing anything stupid.

After being on the phone with the cops, we found out that the guy in the mitsubishi was the one who crashed into the cab in the car north of the crashed cab and he stole the car from the lady who pulled over in the mitsubishi to help. After learning this I wish I got out of the cab and made sure that the cops came and got him. He was obviously drunk and I hope they caught him, never heard back about what happened

edit:

guess he was caught, found this

Wow that's crazy, glad they caught the guy.

I am receeding into childhood. 17 year old doesn't like it when we close her door and pull the curtain on her station when she's not here because she "likes to see her station when she walks in".....well the rest of us don't...so after she left...guess who pulled the curtain and closed the door. I might have also stuck my tongue out at her as she left.

Rbacchiega 10-12-2010 09:02 PM
hahaha if she actually worked more often and had to use gloves I would vaseline the insides of her gloves....that's an old trick we used to do to the new person in the shop...but since she's hardly at work I doubt it'd be any good. We're on the hunt for bio-hazard or caution tape (should be easy cause it's halloween) and we're taping off her room etc....maybe she'll get the idea.

A lady at the shop has the most epic "front butt" I've seen in a while.
Haha I so hope your shop-mates never find this little place.

Some people sure do have a lot of random thoughts..

Rbacchiega 10-13-2010 02:38 AM
I know I do...my mind is always wandering....oooh shiney

Zoaelite 10-13-2010 03:07 AM
Why is the final Lord of the Rings 4 hours long! What an unbelievably long movie, Peter Jackson has to kill a small number of people from bed soars each year.

jorjef 10-13-2010 03:49 AM
Fish can be a nuisance in a reef tank.... I need to get rid of the fish and cleaner shrimp...Wife says "what's the point then"....Okay maybe a couple or three Chromis. How did that red face get there?

On another note....

why do people complex their tanks so much. The success to all of my tanks has been from keeping it basic.

Because not everyone can be a natural reefer like you :) It is just like school. Comes natural to some, while the rest of us slobs need to struggle and work at it. :biggrin:

Fail, I wish they sold just the cream part of the cookie or I could always go eat bulk cake icing.

Rbacchiega 10-18-2010 12:51 AM

T-Minus two weeks to our yearly boys trip to Vegas. Better start priming the liver for far too much beer and my brain for nowhere near enough sleep!

I hear ya.... Drip..... Drip......drip..... What are you adding? How long you usually drip for? My new pair of peppermint shrimp are getting dripped on at this very moment :)

Rbacchiega 10-19-2010 08:31 PM
added a cleanup crew, some chromis and a wrasse.

I did half the shipment drip and the other half floating while adding some water to the bag, taking some out, adding more etc until I figured I'd done it about 2 full times...none of the bag water went into the tank....everything seems to be doing good...the wrasse is a little shy, but that's to be expected....everything else is movin around and picking at stuff and the 5 chromis already ate some rotifers.

EDIT:
I drip 2-4 drops per second until the water volume in the bag has doubled (empty the bag into a 5 gallon fish bowl first)...then take out about half the water and toss it down the drain...continue to drip until the water volume has doubled again...usually takes about an hour or so

whatcaneyedo 10-19-2010 09:11 PM
I keep having the same reoccurring dream/nightmare. In it I have 7 aquariums in my old bedroom where my parents used to live and I keep forgetting to do water changes and feed the fish... When I wake up I'm completely stressed out but then relieved that I'm just down to one tank now (I did have 5 at one point several years ago).

banditpowdercoat 10-20-2010 09:35 PM
Thx I may take you up on that.... I am stuck in camp for another 2 weeks!!!

So EcoTech said MSRP $695 for the new MP60 and now I'm seeing in Canada it's going to cost us $799 if everyone comes in at around the same price. Our dollar is damn near even and these are not massive things to ship so with shipping and duties etc...I dunno sorta stinks to me.

Rbacchiega 10-21-2010 04:49 PM
I could always ship SOME fish dry goods in my tattoo gear, as that gets mailed and not taken on a plane...hmmmmmm ps...the shops here still carry black powder *swoon*

Everyone has to make a living, unfortunately I don't really see us having the power to drop it down and Ecotech will most likely release a shortage of them to ensure they are purchased at that price. Like all new things I'm sure once the hype comes down, so will the price.
