Greetings to all.

With some of you, I am aquainted, and with others, not yet - so here we go.  

My name (in the RealWorld®) is Michael, I'm a Floridiot, and enjoy many fine cheeses (though not quite as much as pb I suspect).  I'm also old and cranky, but will attempt to put the crankiness aside during my posts (at least for a little while).

The Captain and I were just thinking how much my fingers hurt from the recent run-in with the car thief/alligator.... and I thought, "damn that alligator!  damn him to heck!  I'm goin online whether he likes it or not!"  Then I looked down at my new pair of boots and said "Take that, bitch!"  

Whew, first post and I'm swearing already.  That Cap'n will do it every time.  

For you U.S.'ers, Happy Thanksgiving.  For those outside, Happy Thursday evening.  

-- ah crap, looks like I gotsa work on the sig now.

Nice to see you at the Geekery. I used to be a super-duper-regular at Hacker Network, and then I don't know what the hell happened. You're too new to HN for me to know you. :oops:

Yes, I believe I've only been there a month.  Just started getting settled in, having some fun, and then something broke.

You know, things are always breaking around me.  It's like there's a 'radius of breakage' exending outward from my body.  Normally it seems to affect automobiles and my own computer equipment, but mayhap my power is growing....

You sure that law wasn't that you hafta stay 6' away from whinney grandmas when they dance?  :shock:
If you're correct (and I've no doubt you are), that means that SC has more liberal lap dance laws than FLA!! Un-freakin'-believeable! This whole area is so screwed up... You can get body piercing done legally in SC - tatoos, however, are ILLegal. So you have to go just across the state line to GA to get a tatoo. Then on Sunday - NO ALCOHOL. So you have to make a beer run just across the state line into NC. Now you're telling me if I was in FLA and wanted a lap dance, I'd hafta go just across the state line to GA? Jeez...
 I could care less about piercings and such myself, but I just think it's so fuckin' REE DICK U LUSS! REE DICK U LUSS, I say!

Yep, it's a wacky swamp, I tell ya.  Now the 6' rule is only for the county I live in (Hilsborough).  If I drive over to St. Pete (in Pinellas),  the rule doesn't apply.  At least not yet... I think.  So you can catch a lap dance and a Devil Rays game if that's your thing (thing = watch a losing baseball team).

And our beer laws are just as dumb.  The state things that Jesus doesn't want us to drink until 1pm on Sundays, and also not after 11pm in some towns, midnight in others.  When I was in college, we would go to one store up until 11pm, then the store across the street (which was in a different 'town', technically) to buy beer until midnight.  Ka- WEEEEEEEEEEEER!

Ah.  I thought in the other thread that they were going to fill the US with Canadian beer.  Then I looked back and saw it said the opposite, but never fixed it here.

I don't care either way...I like Canadian beer.

HA!  Schlitz Ice!  That takes me back.  When I was in college, that just came out (right after Molson's Ice)... it was $2.05 a sixpack and was 5.5% (which was more than the usual 3% for most beers in FL at the time).  Ah... the times I don't remember...

I find canadian beer to be... how to put it... primitive? No canadian beer beats a good Leffe or a good Becks. I never buy Canadian beer. I'm always in the imported beer section whenever I'm at the liquor store.
