    Man Charged With Joyriding Plane Drunk

    What license? He didn't have one. The fact he landed on a dark, unlighted taxiway, while drunk must have been pure luck. That would be impressive for a sober pilot.

    So I just became a pallbearer in a funeral that is TOMORROW

    To everyone who provided a helpful answer, Thank you If it is just follow the funeral directors instructions, I can handle it. I was more concerned about being put into the situation and being the only one who doesn't know what to do. Again, thank you.

    So I just became a pallbearer in a funeral that is TOMORROW

    My stepmother's mother (step-grandmother?) passed away on Tuesday. She and I were not that close, but I saw her several times a month. She was an Iranian immigrant with little English skills, so I couldn't really talk to her. The plans were to honor her wishes and cremate her at a ceremony...

    6600 GT

    I've got to order within the next couple of hours. I'm probably going to go with a 6800 refurb. Best case scenario, the pipes unlock and I end up with a 6800GT for $150. Otherwise, I jump from a 9800 to a 6800, and my sister jumps from integrated to a 9800.

    6600 GT

    That actually sounds like a really good idea. I have no problem with refurbs.

    6600 GT

    Coomar: Those results are frighting. And my processor isn't even close to the test setups. I don't know if you can get new 4600s anymore. And are they DX9 capable? I'm not much of an eBayer. At first, I was going to get her a FX 5500, but my 9800 is starting to show some age, so why...

    6600 GT

    My current system is Athlon 64 3000+ with 1GB RAM and a Radeon 9800. My little sister is having surgery this week (ortopedic, nothing life or death) and has a Athlon XP 2200+, 768 MB Ram and crappy 32MB integrated video (some SiS chipset, I think). I want to suprise her when she gets back by...

    surprised I haven't seen this in our OT forum

    Wow. Those are the IGN.com forums. That kind of post doesn't suprise me at all... Diddy Kong Racing and Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball? For sex? Those are worth like $2 each. He burnt a $4 whore! Her pimp is going to kill him :D I wonder if he will take an N64 game... Better be something...

    The Shield 05-31-05...[Spoilers inside, you've been warned]

    It really is a series, not just a bunch of one hour shows with the same characters. The writers are so damn unpredictable. They could kill Rowlings, but I doubt it. I bet she'll be forced out as a result of the siezures. Bring on Captian Wagonbach :laugh:

    got a no seatbelt ticket today...will this affect my insurance?

    Here in the great land of Missouri, the Department of Transportation has placed those orange construction zone electronic message signs all over with the great message of: Click it or Ticket. I want to slap the person who came up with the stupid phrase. I would also like to know who decided...

    What would you do for a Klondike Bar?

    I would exchange $1 - $2 with a store clerk for a Klondike Bar.
