#144 by hangedmanAG this line from the Hero review is also quite sharp: Anyone who appreciates the work of Leni Riefenstahl or Sergei Eisenstein should see this movie. It's artfully executed nationalist propaganda with popular appeal Right on. The ending to that movie left a bad taste in my mouth. |

Umm, do you know many neo-nazis? Yeah, being a punk (and for a brief period, a skin) and being from a rural area, I ran into quite a few of the local Klan and boneheads. When people in America talk about "white power", do they mean anyone who is white, or white US-AMERICANS only? This is actually a little tricky. The Klan was originally against non-whites (latinos, blacks, etc), southern Europeans (Italians, Greeks, etc.), Jews and Catholics. The Neo-Nazis were pretty lenient when it came to Southern Europeans and Catholics (Neo-Nazi's were originally based heavily in the Northeast) and the Klan withdrew their ban against these people officially in the 90's. So, essentially, it's against every non-white and/or non-Christian people. As for non-Americans (skinheads - racist or not - take a point of pride of being strongly patriotic), White Power folk still tend to think poorly of Southern Europeans, distrust Eastern Europeans and strongly support Northern Europeans. Scotish and Irish are often held in such high esteem as to be fetishistic. "when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully." Samuel Johnson

Thanks for the explanation. I always wondered about that. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

Liar. You already knew, you're just trying to throw everyone off the scent. |

German crappers, I need to know what this says. I'm not German, but since none of the German crappers answered so far, I will: At the top it says: "You can't always recognize a Nazi at first glance". Below that in smaller white type, it says: "Acting against right (as in right wing) instead of looking away". And right above the picture in light green: "Now. For tomorrow." "I've always viewed masturbation as a pretty positive thing."

It's an election campaign poster, if that was what you were trying to find out. "I've always viewed masturbation as a pretty positive thing."

This article made me laugh, because you could sustitute "new album" for "new game", and it would resemble some discussions we've had. |

The colour of gaggle's cabinet travelled through time from 1970. Bago has style. I hate both of you because your TVs are nicer than mine.

To be fair I do hope the room will improve as I get things actually installed. This is literally pulling it out of the box, turning it on and taking a picture. I, too, worry about the tv-stand's color though. That looks nice bago. But… are you using Firefox? "It's a mystery! You love those! Where are you going?" - Hugin

gaggle, if you aren't planning on buying a new stand maybe someone can lend you a compressor and a spray gun. Just get a bit of filler, black paint and clearcoat. The donwside is that the materials will probably cost as much as a new one. Joker, I don't have a Canon EOS but you may still suck my cock if you like. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

gaggle, I forgot about thinner and hardener... It's probably not worth the hassle. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

(blog) If I ran a business like these people run things I'd be up shit's creek, I swear it. So I move to Washington and I have to get new car plates, especially since my Wisconsin plates were going to expire soon (October 31, 2007). When I had bought my car in California eight years ago I financed it through the dealer; when I moved to Wisconsin a few years later, I refinanced it through my bank. So the bank became the lien holder and should have had a copy of my title, which I needed to present to the Washington licensing place to get my new tags. Easy as pie, right? Call my bank, get a copy of my title faxed to me, done. Oh no. My bank tells me, "we don't seem to have your title." Wait, what? Why not? You're the owner of the vehicle, shouldn't you have the title? I ask them. You know, in case I fuck up my payments so they can repossess my car and all that? Apparently they never got the title transferred from the original lien holder in California. You can bet that if I'd ever once over the years forgotten a payment they'd have quickly realized they didn't have the title and done something about it right away, which is funny given how drawn out this process has become by now. So I tell them I really need a copy of that title, so if they could get that and fax me a copy I'd appreciate it. Over the course of two months I have to call them repeatedly to find out what's going on and why I don't have a copy of the title yet. Apparently CA's paperless title system completely confuses this poor little bank in Wisconsin, they have no idea how to handle this. The expiration date on my Wisconsin plates, October 31, is coming up, so I go to the Washington licensing place and they tell me that they can only give me a 60 day temp tag until I can show them a copy of my title. No problem, I think. I mean, it can't POSSIBLY take longer than 60 days to get a simple copy of my title, right? So I bug the bank about the status of this. It takes me two weeks of just getting someone to actually track down some actual information about this. Apparently CA claims I never gave them a change of address form, so I have to fill out a bunch of forms, fax them to the bank, and they'll send them in along with a $30 expedited processing fee that the CA DMV says will get my title processed within 72 hours of receiving the paperwork, which the bank is FedExing to the DMV. Then, the bank tells me, they'll overnight me the actual title. "But the title belongs to you," I tell them. "You technically own the car." Apparently they don't seem to care about that enough to keep the title for themselves. Whatever. So a few more weeks go by and I hear nothing. I call the bank back and ask what's going on since time is ticking away on my temp tags. They tell me that my title is supposed to be pulled for processing on January 21st. Wuh-huh? Didn't we pay for a 72-hour expedited processing fee? Oh, apparently that means that they have to process the title within 72 hours of WHENEVER THE FUCK THEY DECIDE TO PULL IT OUT FOR PROCESSING, which can be, you know, pretty much whenever. Which turned out to be three or so weeks after the paperwork actually gets there. Oh, now THAT'S useful! So I ask to get an extension on my temp tags. They're reluctant. They say they never do that, but I explain the situation and they give me an extension until the end of February. Whew. That will surely fall within the 72-hour range of January 21, so I must be in the clear. Oh, no. It's February 1st, and when I poke them about the status of my title and if they've finally received it, the bank tells me that somehow I didn't qualify for the 72-hour expedited fee. They're tired of dealing with me so they make the DMV call me directly. Some guy named Eric tells me that my title was pulled on January 31st for processing and that I can expect it to take 4-5 weeks to process the title transfer, and if I have questions to call him. I know this won't happen within my new 60-day window, so I go to the licensing place this morning. The lady tells me that they really can't give me an extension again -- I was lucky to get the first one. I explain to her that the CA DMV has been dicking me around and my hands are tied, but that I MUST be getting my title in March because they pulled it for processing on January 31st and it'll take 4-5 weeks. She makes a call to someone for approval but finds out that they're not available until tomorrow, so I have to go back then but she warns me that it's unlikely I can get an extension, and she tells me there's really nothing else they can do without a copy of my title to get my final tags. So I call the DMV this morning to find out if I can get an actual date on when my title will actually be in my bank's hands so I can get a damn copy of it, because I'm clearly going to have to rent a car and figure out the bus schedule around here for the surely brief period of time between my tags expiring and me getting my title. I get put on hold for 20 minutes, I get asked a bunch of questions, and the final result is... ...they never pulled it for processing. At all. Oh, sure, they TOLD me they did, but they didn't. So they very helpfully tell me that they'll put it in for processing today, and within 3-5 business days from today I'll get a phone call from someone to tell me that it's actually being processed. THANKS, ASSHOLES. Now I'm going to have to beg rides and get a rental car for non-work stuff out of my own fucking pocket because my bank and the CA DMV are a bunch of fucking morons. Fuck them, fuck them all right up their bureaucratic, red taped asses. Bellydance!

You could potentially just drive around with expired tags for a month or two. I won't say for sure, since the penalties in different states vary, but here worst case is you'll get a ticket, and generally if you receive a ticket it's because you were pulled over for something else and they tacked it on, so it's a somewhat controllable risk. I had a friend on expired tags for about 8 months because he couldn't afford the repairs to get his car up to inspection standards, and other then a little lecture from a cop in a parking garage, he made it out okay. I don't know, I wouldn't pay $20+ a day to rent a car, just to avoid a potential $200 ticket. |

Good rant. Sorry about the experience. Bureaucracy sucks. |
|
See, this is why people just steal cars. It's easier. |

You should just light the car on fire and use the insurance money to buy a new one. It'd be much faster. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

What are the rules on repossessing? Could you just stop paying your car payments, put the money in an envelope, and then when they come to repossess the car you give them the money and demand a copy of the title. Of course, that's academic at this point since your time is up. Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."

I'm guessing you live on the east side? Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.

I have also driven around with expired tags for about a year and a half. Also - and I'm sure this isn't going to win me any points - you can have your husband go into the DMV and say that somebody ripped the tags off of his car and can he get a replacement. It costs about $ 15 and you can just place those tags on your plates. Of course, if you ever get pulled over your screwed, but what is life without danger?

I drove around with expired tags for six weeks. Of course I ended up in court, so that may not be the way you want to go. Didn't we pay for a 72-hour expedited processing fee? Oh, apparently that means that they have to process the title within 72 hours of WHENEVER THE FUCK THEY DECIDE TO PULL IT OUT FOR PROCESSING, which can be, you know, pretty much whenever. Which turned out to be three or so weeks after the paperwork actually gets there. Oh, now THAT'S useful! So annoying. I remember buying a computer six or seven years ago from an online place (Ibuypower.com or something). At checkout they present an option for a rush fee that said for $30 extra you can get a three-day-turn on your computer. Thinking $30 wasn't bad to move my projected time of two weeks to three days, I happily paid. A week later when I called to inquire about my three day turn, they kindly explained that it means once they started working on it, they'd make sure to finish and ship it within three day. Uh, thanks? |

#193 by bago I'm guessing you live on the east side? What does this mean? Is the DMV helpful on the West side or something? |

You haven't paid off a car you bought eight years ago yet? |

Man look at that dedication. Not satisfied with a 2007 Overall TOTY, he's gunning for the 2008. Look at this man folks, an artist is at work. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

TOTY has no offseason. Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."
