Where would I find a concert t-shirt from a band that is currently touring?
Ok, so heres the deal, I bought a t-shirt from the Smashing Pumpkins concert here in Houston last weekend. It's the men's white t-shirt with the black tattoo-like stencil of a hindu woman. However, someone in my idiotic family didnt check the washing machine after I washed it and placed it in the dryer with heavier clothing. It therefore shrunk and the design is horribly faded. Does anyone know where I can direct them so they can replace the shirt? I have looked online and the bands website does not appear to have a store. HELP!!!

2 AnswersDiet & Fitness1 decade agoHow do you find someone who has seemingly disappeared?
Someone very close to me has been on my mind alot lately and I dont know how to contact him. I've tried all the usual methods such as Facebook , MySpace, and the typical Google search but have found nothing. I don't even know if he is dead or alive. It would be nice to know either way. I last saw him in 2007 and he looked like hell. We tried to stay in touch but for some reason his number changed and he vanished again. Does anyone know of a way I can try to find someone? What options do I have? I feel pretty damn helpless.

I really do not understand why Volvo Corporation would allow fans to come this far to finish the final piece of their stupid puzzles only for their website to crap out at the last second. It will not load AT ALL for me and I am on a very high-speed wireless connection. The entire website will not load. Is anyone else having this same issue??? This is BS and totally unfair.

I was recently diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma and have already undergone my first aggressive chemotherapy treatment. It depletes my strength. I go in for round 2 tomorrow.

I was reading this article on Yahoo and the numerologists on the Chinese and Japanese ends have significantly different views on the number 9. Basically, the Chinese consider it a good-luck number and the Japanese consider it very bad-luck. Does anyone know why this is???
3 AnswersMythology & Folklore1 decade agoWhat are some cool and unique ideas for a Halloween costume this year?
Every year I'm really great at coming up with a creative costume idea that I follow through with. This year, however, I can't seem to come up with anything. Anyone have any great suggestions for me? I'm really into history, architecture, classic films and art if that helps give you an idea of what I'm into. For the past couple of years I've done nothing but superhero's, villains and pirates so I'm done with that. Your feedback is appreciated.

7 AnswersHalloween1 decade agoIs it wrong for vegetarians to eat animal crackers?
I'm not exactly a vegetarian but I am starting to eat healthier these days and I stay away from alot of meat. I was craving some animal crackers for a snack today but as I was pulling them out of the small bag one by one I couldn't help but feel slightly disturbed at how realistic some of the animals looked. Am I just crazy or does anyone else feel guilty or bad for eating animal crackers if you're vegan?????
11 AnswersVegetarian & Vegan1 decade agoIs it wrong to have sex with straight guys on the premise a girl would be involved?
So I seem to have caught myself in a slight moral dilemma. I recently have been communicating with these two young straight guys who are best-friends with eachother and have the sex drive of a jack-rabbit. They have been sending me explicit sexual text messgaes about what they would do with me if my girlfriend would join in. The thing is, I dont have a girlfriend. Never have. I am gay and love the sausage. I lied to these boys (just for fun) to see if they would play along .. and they did. They played along so well that they even came over to my place and we all had sex (without a girl involved). I even went as far as to have a female friend call me on my phone while they were over (after we had been drinking and watching straight porn) and say she wouldn't be able to make it.
They clearly enjoyed it and I do not think they would have gone as far as they did if they didn't really want to. They even sent me txts the next day saying they how surprised they were comfortable with doing stuff with just another guy. I was their first gay experience and they, as bestfriends, had never even seen eachother naked up until that point. Does that make me a bad person for lying to them to get what I want? Again, this was all in good fun with no intentions of it actually happening ... but then it did.
8 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender1 decade agoWhat's the name of that dance song from the gay club scene in Powder Blue?
There is a scene in Powder Blue where Forest Whitaker (the priest) goes into a gay club to look for Alejandro Romero (the drag queen) and there is a dance / techno song playing in the background. I wasn't able to find the name of this song in the credits and I don't think there was a soundtrack made for the film since it went straight to dvd. Anyone know the name and artist of that song? Thanks for your help.
3 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender1 decade agoNeed phone number to talk to LIVE PERSON at Experian regarding DISPUTE?
I know you can dispute online (I already have) but I need to discuss the history of a dispute for legal purposes. My current Experian credit report says to call the number on my credit report but there isn't one. I've tried 1 888 397 3742 (no option for live person) so please don't answer with this number... it doesn't work! It hangs up on me every-time and there is no option for a live person. It will say "One moment while we transfer your call .." and then it says "goodbye!". ...And they WONDER why we have such a bad credit issue in this Country.

4 AnswersInvesting1 decade agoWhy do I have to pay such high school taxes to own a home when I don't even have kids?
I am considering buying a house this year with that 8K obama money that seems to be everyones sucker-punch for investing in property right now. I've seen alot for sale that I like that's in my price range but, as a first time home buyer, I'm a little ticked at these outrageous school taxes here in the Houston area. Seems like you cannot get around them and the only way to get a deduction is if you HAVE kids. Well, as a single gay man I can assure my lovely homo-hating senators that I plan on having "ZERO" children and that my home will probably be the nicest looking one on the block. Us gays are known for moving into less desirable areas and fixing them up which ultimately drive home values skyward. However, if they want this trend to continue they should consider giving some type of break for those of us who have no children in the public school system or at all. I went to private school because the public school in the part of town where I grew up was beyond ghetto. Any suggestions on this from mature, level-headed individuals?
6 AnswersOther - Taxes1 decade agoWhat is the best and fastest way to build good credit history?
My problem is that I have student loans that I have not yet paid back. They are not in default but rather in forebearance so I'm basically in "safe" mode until I start paying it back. I have a small limit on a Target card that I make more than minimum payments on every month. I also have a care credit card that I pay on time every month but I do not see any difference on my credit score because of this. Any suggestions from mature, educated individuals on here? (If there is such a thing anymore)
5 AnswersCredit1 decade agoWhere can I find a quality mp3 of Madonna's version of "Here Comes The Rain Again" remixed with "Rain"? ?
Madonna did an amazing remix of Eurthymics -"Here Comes The Rain Again" with her own song "Rain" that was on her recent Sticky and Sweet tour. I have been looking everywhere online for a great download of this song and cannot find it. YouTube only has clips from this video interlude and I want the full copy of the mix itself. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
1 AnswerOther - Music1 decade agoWhere was Beetlejuice filmed and does that house really exist?
I've always wondered where the movie was actually filmed. The town of Winter River, Connecticut does not exist so I was wondering where the scenes were shot. Also, I've always loved that eccentric white house of Adam and Barbara's. Does it still exist today? If so, where?
Movies1 decade agoWhat is the best way to remove scratches from a dark wooden dining table?
I have a dark wooden dining table, almost a mahogany finish to it, and someone at a party scratched the living daylights out of it! The scratch, after close examination, was not deep enough to cut into the wood but just enough to take off some of the varnish. I would HATE to go through the trouble of refinishing the table. Is there anyother option?? I've tried Old English for dark wood and that didnt do anything. I've thought about trying one of those markers but I wanted some feedback from others before I went out and bought anything else. If a marker is what you suggest, please let me know what kind or brand you recommend best. Thanks so much!!
