Can you tell the difference


Boost mobile add or Credo mobile ad? Differentiate much?

Hans: "I guess you can go back to being a just a douche bag"

ebay going down the tubes

I was surprised to see that ebay is going to remove the negative comment feature. First of all it removes one of the major recourses for buyer. Second, they are looking at symptoms and not problems. I stopped selling on ebay because of all the third-world scammers. It was an absolute waste of my time and the time of other legit bidders. I don't care what other features are coming up on ebay. If they don't address that problem then, I'm not going to buy or sell on ebay.

Canadian cowboys

At dinner last night a friend told me that he was once in Calagary for business during the Calgary Stampede. He was surprised to see cowboys in Canada. They had the hats, the boots, the spurs....but something was missing. It finally dawned on him. "How can they be cowboys if they don't have guns?". He went on to describe how sidearms are common in Dallas as part of regular attire. If the cowboy hat is like a turban, then maybe sidearms are like the Texan version of the Sikh dagger?
