How Stupid Are They?

80-100k seats at $20 or more each is very little money? Obviously you are independently wealthy to be able to consider $1-2 million very little money along with the money raked in for parking, food, etc.

It's all relevant.....it's chump change if you're Jeff Bezos!

He wasn't posting "very little money" here either. I don't know too many people that would find that chump change either.

Actually, we are "talking" about supposed academic institutions, correct?

Nearby we have a Georgia regional university. Before it became a university it had a reputation of being the best teachers college in the state.
I did work with many teachers that had attended that college and IMHO think the reputation was deserved. Oh by the way, they did not have a
football team. I may not remember the exact order of events but they were almost coincidental. They became a university and developed a
national champion football team. There reputation now is as a football and party school. The best teachers reputation moved to another state
university of smaller size but apparently a higher academic repute. The smaller school was made part of the larger recently as a way "to save
money". They now run buses for students and teachers drive the 50 mile trip several times a day. This was also done with several other schools.

Somebody should bring criminal charges against the driver. He moved that truck with a ladder extended. Causing a rollover. It also hit a car . I hired a crane to place some statues for a customer. Once the crane was set in place. We came up about 5 feet short of where the statue needed to be. I motioned for the drive to pull up. He waived me off. "no way" He packed everything up on his crane. Gantry arm and out riggers. Then moved 15 feet. His claim was " if something happens while moving a crane with a gantry arm out. He is liable and will be charged with criminal neglect." One things for sure. That firetruck will have an on board computer that tells the story.

Dem rep says Philadelphia office was looted during protests

Rep. Brendan Boyle, D-Pa., tweeted Monday night that looters broke into one of his local offices as demonstrators continued to take to the streets in the aftermath of George Floyd's death.

Boyle represents Pennsylvania's Second District, which includes part of Philadelphia. The city was one of several in the U.S. that fell victim to violence and looting over the weekend.


"Just learned one of my district offices has been broken into and is currently being looted. We have notified the authorities," Boyle tweeted Sunday night.

"We have notified the authorities"

How Stupid Are They? --- after 118 pages, you still have to ask?

BTW, you notify the authorities to put it on official police record to be able to make insurance claims - actually not so stupid since the 1st thing the insurance companies will do it ask if you called the police.

I didn't want to start a new thread about funny things. So I chose this one.

The rest of the story.
The congressman then appeared to make light of the situation, noting that he would have no problem if the looters just wanted voter registration forms.

"If those who are currently breaking into and looting my office really want our voter registration forms because they’re in such high demand, then I would be totally cool with that," he said.

So I laugh again. Looters breaking into a democrats office. Maybe they were looking for a big screen TV.

Maybe they were looking for a big screen TV.

That would be far easier to find over in the repubes offices where they religiously watch themselves on reality TV........

Porn star Nacho Vidal held in Spain after man dies in toad-venom ritual

The photographer, named Jose Luis Abad by Spanish media, used a pipe to inhale the substance, which is secreted from the glands of the bufo alvarius.

The toad, also known as the Colorado River toad, uses the powerful toxin to defend itself against predators in Mexico and south-western US states, where it is found in the Sonoran Desert.

Known by chemists as 5-MeO-DMT, the natural substance is said to induce an intense psychedelic state when consumed by users, earning it the nickname the God molecule.

That reminds me of a legend in NYC back in the 70's. A minority of folks were purported to have had the habit of sucking the rump of a particular toad. I never saw which toad, having never seen such an inebriation as a live performance, but I always hoped I'd see a toad-head walking the streets or in a club with a toad to his (or her) lips. Oh well. I must have not moved in the right circles. Fortunately.

This posting of yours, Hondo, has confirmed, for me, that such a substance and animal did get used, back then.

This is a case pf animals being smarter than some people.
Our dogs have all attacked toads around the house but only once.
They learn very quickly that toads must not taste good.
