Would you be willing to pay for a custom sticker? How much?

I have wanted one for a long time that said "Right Lane - Speed Limit / Please Pass".

or "Brakes Waste Gas / Slow Down"

and this just in: "Louise: E-mail me?"

For the miner whose wife and girlfriend met in a prayer vigil at the site? OH? You're praying for Jose as well?

He's got another three months down there. We're pretty certain that he won't want to be a miner anymore. What message would you send him if you could?

It seems like I keep seeing the same situations over and over.

Do you like this cardigan? Do you know where I can buy it cheaper? And what about these life-threatening symptoms that I'm having, should I seek medical advice? Who do you think will be in first place at the end of the season? Can you answer seventeen questions about chemistry for me? what about my avatar? Do you think it's cute? I'm a Gemini. What course should I take when I get to college in eight years? What's the best university in the universe of universities? Why doesn't anyone ever answer my questions? I just thought that I would ask the universal Y!A questions all at once and see what happened.

How many points did you have? Did it make sense to you why it happened? Were you, by any chance, a Top Contributor?

I think it has happened to me two or three times. I had >27,000 points and a Top Contributor badge the last time. I think that I got sarcastic in an answer. I took the advice of a Contact and didn't bother appealing.

It does remind me of the fellow I carried in the cab who had accumulated six months of Social Security checks while he was in jail, apparently for being drunk and disorderly. He was living in a camper on the stock yard of a company that sold sewer pipe. He was attempting to convert that pile of money into cheap wine and salty snacks. I asked him what he was in for. He said he couldn't remember. He tipped well. A guy from the business asked me not to pick him up. Had to: he was orderly and he requested service.

So much for the rehabilitative benefits of the county jail and Y!A suspensions. Next time around call me El Bandito, if that's available. Probably not.

There's a book, and now a TV show, about the memorable things fathers said. I was recently reminded that my father [often enough] called me a vulture because I was in the kitchen while he was fixing dinner. In my own defense, I was a hungry teenage boy in a home where food was scarce and meals were skirmishes. What do you remember that your father said?.

In 1963, I hitchhiked from Lansing, Michigan to Seattle to San Francisco and back to Grand Rapids. I was gone nine days, it cost me eleven dollars. Something between five and six thousand miles. Went back and forth from Michigan to New York City three or four times. Then I got married. No more hitchhiking.

You've changed. And so have I. What's yours?

Yeah, I could look it up, but I haven't asked a question in a long time.

I was ready to abandon Y!A for quite awhile there, and suddenly it is working again.

The newest questions in some categories are two to three weeks old. I'm patient, but this is getting pretty stale.

The questions are just hanging there. New questions are not being posted, old, stupid ones are still hanging there, interesting ones are deleted. The whole place is TARFU.

Lately I have noticed that some questions in Y!A will remain in Tiebreaker status despite a 2-0 vote for Best Answer,

Flip a coin one time and record your results.

What? You got something better to do with your time? Then go do it. This has got to be as profound as "Coke or Pepsi?" I got tails.

That is the traditional name for what we refer to as Tuna. An advertising man in the early 20th Century decided it would taste better as tuna.

What's the best chicken? Tuna of the Coop.

When I go to the second page of my profile, everything disappears.

Is it time to assign him to a new location closer to the Toyota headquarters?

Because they don't want a total stranger making so many important decisions for them.

H.L. Mencken said that before the invention of the Extreme Football League [XFL]. Do you have any other examples of exceptions to this rule?
