  1. Put them on Craig's list with the make/model/size clearly listed. It is the buyers responsibility to know if they fit, not the sellers. Tires are not designed for specific vehicles; The same tires can be used on various makes/models regardless if they were OEM.

    And the reason I say to use Craig's list is because you need to find a LOCAL buyer. The cost of shipping large heavy items like tires makes it financially impractical to ship them.

    I sold the OEM rims/tires off my 2006 Jeep on Craig's List.

    I've had a few police officers tell me exactly that! We had a neighborhood car-burglar, dope dealer and all-round petty crook. A friend of mine on the PD told me how he got in a foot-chase with this brainiac and his britches fell-down around his ankles running down an alley. The cop had no problem catching him. He told me that, he had to choke-back the laughter watching this guy wipe the gravel from his bloodied face.
    This new law sucks! The cops need 'some' advantage!

    Almost as dumb was the story I heard about a perp who took the cops on a long midnight foot chase. Numerous times he was well ahead of the cops and zig and zagged, taking various turns he was sure would lose them, but they stayed on his tail until, (to his surprise and dismay), they finally caught him.

    After they caught him, he asked how they were able to stay with him so well. So the cops explained it to him:

    "You see, every time your foot hits the ground, that bright red LED flashes in the heel of your shoe."

  4. I believe everyone has the constitutional right to make a complete jackass of themselves. It is helpful to be able to identify morons at a glance.

    And I doubt the cops are in favor such laws; Over the past few years I've read MANY stories of foot pursuits ending when the perps pants fell down while he was running from the police. I can't believe the cops would be eager to lose that advantage.

    Hell yeah she is . . . I'd shoot a president just to impress her!

    However, I don't think she'd be interested, which, of course, just makes her all the hotter.

    (There, did that cover all the standard Jodie Foster jokes?)



    You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? ;)

    However, Ayoob mentions his encounter with an unnamed European armed service that was teaching its personnel to shoot gangsta-style as the technique of choice. According to Ayoob, their reasoning was: "Americans are on top of pistols, and they have their best people as technical advisors for their films, so it must be the thing to do."



    LMAO!:D

    That reminds me of when I was working in the Attack Radar group at General Dynamics. At the time, the F-16 was using a mechanically-scanned radar. GD was funding an in-house project to develop a phased array radar. They had tried to interest USAF in funding the project, but USAF had no budget allocated for it, so GD was making the rounds of the foreign militaries that had F-16's, trying to interest one or more of them in funding the project. No dice.

    Why? Because the first question from every one was: "Is USAF deploying it?"

    When told "No", they immediately assumed it must not be as good as the old mechanically-scanned unit currently in service.

    Didn't Britney once get busted for lip-syncing on Saturday Night Live a few years back when the CD player started skipping?

    :D



    Not Britney; Ashlee Simpson.

    :D:D:D Now that is funny!

    A question for everyone and anyone, what does it mean to be a conservative and what does it mean to be a liberal?



    Liberals can't learn from the past; Conservatives can't stop living it.

    Both are extremists. Libertarianism makes a lot more sense.

    Yes! she still writes checks:( I explained all about a debit card but she'll "have nothing to do with that"!



    I would NEVER use a debit card! When you get bogus charges (as I have) on a credit card, you argue with the company about whether you will pay it. When you get bogus charges on a debit card, you argue with the company about whether they will give your money back. NO THANKS!>:(

  24. I was looking to see if/when I could get it via NetFlix.

    IMDB has it listed, but nothing about DVD release:

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473404/

    What really caught my eye: Stephen Root as Richard Clarke?
    I've never seen Stephen Root in anything other than a comedy.
    I've seen seen Richard Clarke so much as crack a joke.

  25. On a whim I tried searching for it on NetFlix. Generally, a film shows up there long before it is available on DVD, and you can select it for your queue where is goes into the "saved" mode, meaning it will go into your queue when available. For example "Sicko" is on my "saved" queue, even though it isn't yet on DVD.

    Searching for "The Path to 9/11" turned up nothing. So I searched for all films with Harvey Keitel. Nothing.
