Something else that occurs to me is that when you put up a gunbuster sign, you are bringing the image of a gun into the consciousness of those who see it. That alone might be enough to make the antis nervous. So not only are you driving pro gun owners away, you may be turning the people who you hoped would be with you from your doors too.   So the old signage might actually be better from that point of view. But far better just not to worry about it anyway, of course.

I believe Borat was a character that had been used in TV shows also so the movie may not provide what you're looking for.

Hah. I have to do a meme about that. Hmm, there's a bunch out there already.

  But people are not permanently attached to the one vehicle. I know I might be using any of four different vehicles on any day (I am not disabled but I think it's valid for illustrative purposes).   For those who don't think there needs to be some back pressure on the placards being given out like candy though, you are the ones being disadavantaged when all the spots are filled up. Ideally, the honor system would be all we needed because it's pretty ####ty to be parking in those spaces if you don't need to but apparently, that isn't working these days. I mean, from my own personal situation, they could print them on the back of Walmart receipts and I'll just continue using the regular spaces. It's the people who really need it who are disadvantaged by too easy access.   There's little reason the placards couldn't have a picture of the registered holder printed on them these days though. That might not lead to many extra people getting caught for abuse but might act as something of a deterrent.

  Hmm, that gives me an idea for an app.   Though what might be good would be if the disabled signs had a number to report transgressors listed on them.

I believe people have been booted in the past. Might want to give it a couple of days in case of postage issues.

I'd like to see an effort made to break the last-mile duopoly. Otherwise the cable co will just get their profits from internet subscribers instead.

I think this may be one of those movies that I have only seen "In pieces". We watched European vacation earlier this year so this may make the watch list.

I grew up in the days before video so pretty much you got what was given which was usually The Sound of Music or a Bond flick. Decided to start watching Bond from the beginning a while back so it's likely to be some "From Russia with Love". I think we're also planning to catch the Hobbit at the local theater. What's on your "to watch" list for Christmas day?

I think there are some systemic issues with law enforcement in this country. It's not so much that some cops misbehave (that will happen with any profession) but that often, that bad behavior is seen to go unpunished. This is not a racial issue in and of itself.   However, for various reasons, including, for many, a victim mentality, a vocal segment of the black population is choosing to see this as directed at them.   Both are issues that need to have resolutions. Trying to pin down just one thing as the issue is a mistake IMO.

  I'm not sure I completely understand the billing but it looks like tracfone let you pay for "minutes" and you can use minutes for data or pay for extra data on top. If you're mostly in range of a wifi router, that seems like it could work out well. Considering it for my daughter but I think there may be a catch I'm missing.  

  I cancelled mine (actually Dish) about 10 years ago. Haven't missed much.

  Forget the channels in fact. Just pay and download for shows directly. Individually or get a season pass. You'd never see a show cancelled because a network exec wanted to "make his mark" again.

I'm just waiting for stations to start offering their content online for a price. I think we're getting close.

  Yeah, nothing wrong with the pics you have. It's not particularly about the brace, I just like to see a "big picture" kinda thing to see how it all works together. :)

    Just a suggestion but you could do with backing up a little to get the whole gun in for at least one picture.

  I tried going to the Pharmacy with a friend the other week for a spot of lunch but the line outside was ridiculous. So be prepared to wait (we ended up going elsewhere). I believe they're also gun-unfriendly too if that's an issue.

I would think a transcript could be needed. It's quite possible the director is deliberately interpreting something the DA said more literally than was meant. Like Peejman says, "If you can't do it right, **** off" or something and wording his letter as if it was an official request. The way it's written has the stink of passive-aggressive about it.

The jackelope has been the one I've had the last couple of times I've been out. Good beer. I wish I liked the Yazoo but it just doesn't do it for me.

  Except for when they hand you the invoice.

Sounds like there's a story there.

Arrived yesterday. Will be dispatched in the next couple of days.

I am sure that dirty work boots will be the new hipster thing. Maybe they can repurpose this:

Many Americans* have had a sense of entitlement and have joined unions (which forces the cost of wages and hence employing American workers up) and voted in governments with ever-increasing spending plans (which pushes taxes up which forces the cost of employing American workers up). This is what you get.       (*Not just Americans, this is an epidemic across the west).

Were they wearing steel helmets?   This won't last 30 seconds in court, I'm sure. I had no plans to buy any bushmaster stuff but now I'm feeling more sympathetic towards them.
