Dude, you are just balls stupid, making an issue about what should be posted where on an internet forum. It's the internet, it's general discussion, go back to your electrical forum area and post bad advice on how to fix the reset switch on a garbage disposal. Get off you bad self and let the moderators here on the site decide where it has to be, which is here, where it should be and not where you wish it to be.
Some things are meant to be for fun discussion, which you just don't get. There is always one in a crowd, and obviously you are it, Mr. I Am To Serious For The Internet Because Things Need To Be Posted Where I Think They Should Be.

I'm glad you're the Forum Gestapo, SS and Polizio all wrapped up on one.

I don't mess with garbage disposals. That seems to be your specialty. Trying to fix a disposal it a TWOT.

I guess since it was an OT topic, it should be posted in the OT forum. After all, isn't that what it's for? If I wanted to read OT threads, I should find them in the OT forum.

You, however, should get off your self-proclaimed high horse and .




I've been told never argue with an idiot. They'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I'm done with you.



Bye bye, little one.

While I'm not gonna take specific sides here, there's one thing that should be obvious.

General Discussion on Contractor Talk = talking about contracting in general?????

Off topic = non contracting topics????

That's how I understand it. But I'm just another internet monkey.

Carry on.........

Just got back from the show....$16 for 2.

Man that's a hella charge for the drinks and icecream and stuff!

The price for the movie, waaay cheaper for you than for me here.

By the way, how was the movie? Worth seeing? How would you rate the movie?

I personally thought the movie was AWESOME. It deals with alien abduction. If you 100% don't believe in the possibility of aliens, you won't like it. If you're a little skeptical to a total believer, you should LOVE it.

The cool part is it's based on a true story and they show actual video from the events (as well as audio) in question. I thought it was tastefully done between showing facts and making it entertaining. In the end, they don't try to get you to believe one way or the other, just present the story to you from various views.

The price of going to the movies today is absurd. I have a bunch of free passes from a customer but know that where they get you is inside. I don't go anymore, the passes have been sitting on my dresser for a year (no expiration date).

Who even needs movie theaters anymore? I'm far from being wealthy but can afford a 52" screen and Surround sound. I forgot to record South Park on the DVR the other night but watched it tonight via their site and a USB connection. I didn't mention that I could pause it for a pee.

Recent movie visits:
Some chickflick that Ol'#2 dragged me to a few years ago, she told me that we were going to see another movie.
Dancing with wolves. Viewed with a gorgeous 6' ash blond about 1990.
Rodger Rabbit with the kids 1988.
Star Wars, 1977. Towed along to watch a buddy's kids and relatives.

Today I spend most of my time on the web.

Like the movie Avatar that is coming out. Want to see that, but not for 12 bucks. Prolly will download that one torrents to watch.
The biggest reason I almost never set foot in a movie theater these days. I am amazed at how ignorant people are.
Put the cell phone on silent, and walk outside to answer it.
No g@ddamn conversations either.

3 bucks.... Drinks and stuff are still pretty expensive. Up until about 8 months ago the two theaters closest to me were a buck for the closest one and .99 admission for the one about 15 miles away....
