Stupid things don't reproduce anywhere near as fast as 0s and 1s.

My kids were 2 and 4 in 1968. I don't feel old until I look in the
mirror. Whoever designed skin really did a piss-poor job of it.
 
People also don't really have skin in the game about actually holding
their advertised yardsales. When ads cost real money, you just didn't
decide To hell with it, I'm going to sleep late this morning, you got
your ass out of bed and set up those tables! You also made damn sure
that your address was printed correctly. Now that Craigslist is the
medium, anything goes :-(
 
A woman (I assume) has been selling a size 18 Obermeyer one-piece ski
suit every weekend for MONTHS with no takers. " Lady's outdoors
insulated, repellent outfit "Obermeyer"size 18 (ARCADIA)" No address,
just a dot on the map. She clearly means (and says so in the actual ad)
"water-repellent", but I think the title says it all. I don't think I
want to understand her thought processes...

But if you want to be real frugal, you must recycle words and letters
from already posted messages. Just cut and paste words or individual
letters into your message. Be sure to remove your keyboard so you are
not tempted to use it.

They don't sell them, they're included free with many purchases.

I walked thru the flea market in between the Metro station and the 99 cents store on my way to MacArthur Park last night and someone actually had bottles of liquor laid out in between the shampoo, bootleg DVDs and phone chargers.
 
The cops are under orders not to disturb the tax avoiding illegal aliens selling items acquired from professional shoplifting rings. Because it's racist.

I used to forward the laser disc to the light show at the end when I was peaking. Otherwise I don't understand that movie.

No need to understand, Citizen, just enjoy the show.

My mother's comment at the time was "we should have gone to that instead"
and we had left the theatre and passed another where she pointed to
"20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" was playing, of it being 1968, it was a
re-release.
 
I guess she'd seen it before. I never sawit until it was on tv in the
seventies. It does make more sense, but I read the book decades ago.
 
I didn't even know it was playing. "2001" got lots of press ahead of
time, and I was locked on seeing it as soon as it arrived.
 
Must have been the first film I actually decided to see.

If you're even dumber, you criticize how total strangers compose
their posts. Lordy, this NG _still_ sucks.
