HS wrestler told to cut hair or forfeit
ExiledInIllinois replied to Steve O's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Biological warfare! If The Evil Hoodie was a wrestling coach, he'd be all over these tactics! Curried Indian food for team meals... For weeks straight! -
Does your office have grab bag gifts?
ExiledInIllinois replied to Another Fan's topic in Off the Wall Archives
? Don't spoil it... I am starting to think Lil Gug picked up his humility and respect through osmosis. Or... You're landscaper was named Jesus, right? Okay, I work in an industrial setting with all guys. For close to 30 years... Nada. We have a female now. I almost fell to the floor that I recieved a Christmas card in the mail from both bosses. AND we all got gift bags with chocolate and an LED flashlight. Should I be scared that the Holiday's have reached my employment? It's not like we didn't put up a few holiday decorations... Had lunch, etc... Even get baskets and booze from the commercial boats, etc... -

Festivus (Observed) Airing of Grievances
ExiledInIllinois replied to The Real Buffalo Joe's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Hey... How about a button between "Thanks" & "Like" that covers those emotionally raw posts that run the full course of a Gugny reply! (*See: MLM Thread.) Thanks Board Management! -
Pyramid scheme or MLM?
ExiledInIllinois replied to Not at the table Karlos's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I didn't really like this, but gave you a "Like." I agree with the sentiment. Sales is nothing but crap... Then there is the cut, the commision. Just not me. I harass family and friends enough with my ideals... I can't imagine selling something. Anyway... I am off to the Festivus thread to air my grievance that there is no "in between" button between "Thanks" & "Like." I would give your post the "Sad" rating... But it doesn't totally make me sad. LoL... It kinda makes me happy, I like telling salespeople to ***** -off... LoL... Well, unless they get their meat hooks in Me first. But, we all got a least a little bit of brutal consumer in us! EDIT: This isn't saying I don't respect the hustle. I do respect the hustle, just leave me the ***** alone with the sales pitch. -

ExiledInIllinois replied to Steve O's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Jesus was from the middle east. He wasn't a tall, blonde hair, blue-eyed Northern European... ...Jesus was 5'-3", wiry hair Arab looking guy with dark skin. I made the mistake and I told this to my grandmother... She promptly called me the devil. About the same time they were allowing females on the alter. My younger sister told my grandmother that alter girls was a good thing, welcomed change. Grandma called My sister the devil too. -

Police Standards Are A Problem
ExiledInIllinois replied to The_Dude's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
My Godfather, uncle was a police officer in town. I never dropped his name, I never expected special treatment... Courtesy when I was doing something wrong... It would be an embarrassment to Him and Myself. Now... My older sister... Drop his name all the time. Maybe currying favor is how the world works, but it's wrong in public service. Look, we have a businessman POTUS that is turning public service ethics on its head. And you thought the Clinton's were bad? Public servants aren't businesspeople, and nor should they act like them. Probably why we have a worsening mistrust of authority because the laws are being unevenly enforced. The ticky tacky stuff... Is a recessive tax on the non-privileged elites. -

ExiledInIllinois replied to The_Dude's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
So basically, it's socialism on micro scale. Nice! I like it... Except for enforcing the law unevenly. That's probably why people don't trust policing. Milk the other one's. It's a recessive tax for the non-privileged. This is why socialism will never work. -
So I put in an offer on a house today
ExiledInIllinois replied to Kirby Jackson's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Whole different league than NY. New Orleans has a strong, vibrant industrial economy. Heck it's one of the busiest ports in the country (short tons). Sure, NY-NJ is up there, but with NOLA coupled with S.Louisiana... It blows the rest of the country away. New York has a whole state dragging it down. It's industry that bouys the team, economy. Natural resources and location, location, location. Yet... Louisiana has the highest sales tax in the country: -

Ever been taken to cleaner by the Tolls ?
ExiledInIllinois replied to Teddy KGB's topic in Off the Wall Archives
It adds up. Indiana Turnpike built all new rest stops. Gas is more expensive now. I don't stop in Indiana for fuel. Tolls went up from $4.10 straight through to just under $8.00 (forget the exact amount). Ohio went up. NYS is almost doubled. Checking account. My last 3 trips were around $120 added to my account. I gotta start going toll-free (exept for bridges and/tunnel) and start going I-94 to Detroit/Windsor (or Port Huron/Sarnia) and head to BFLo via the Niagara Peninsula! One trip on American side is $40 in tolls (both ways). Bridges/tunnel has to be cheaper. Just do NOT GET FUEL IN ONTARIO! Hell, don't even stop! -
That was advice, and very terrible advice. "Just pointing out = advice." Here is some advice. Type it the way the English language intended it to be typed, not the way it phonetically sounds to you in your retarded head. Holy moly... It's like the blind (you) trying to lead a guy with one eye (me). You've gone batschit crazy.

The Thread For Greg's Stashes

I know... About the bent part. Didn't mean to imply that. Just throwing in my take, how I react. Yeah... It's not for everyone. -
In the market for a new truck need help
ExiledInIllinois replied to mrags's topic in Off the Wall Archives
It's why the made the new Ford Ranger Different for the N.American market. https://jalopnik.com/the-2019-ford-ranger-isnt-the-ranger-you-remember-but-1831147912 Here are some excerpts from the write up on the new Ford Ranger: "Now every pickup is enormous and bloated and expensive because people have convinced themselves that these things need to be great daily drivers and pull a boat or bring home half the inventory at your neighborhood Home Depot and because @BringBackFergy is over-compensating for his lack of manliness. Manliness that Tacoma & Jeep drivers exude even in their sleep." "But this truck is really designed around daily driving and occasional hauling." -
