I absolutely refuse to patronize most types of businesses on major holidays, especially something like Labor Day. Solely on principle!

Grouchy with not enough sleep and grouchy with too much sleep :mad:

I was off on Labor day, but we have to work our regular day off (today) to make up for it....kind of defeats the purpose don't you think?
-
Mankie, that's so wrong. Completely defeats the purpose. Which is what, by the way??
I watched five episodes of "Boy Meets Boy" while trying to organize a little of my life in my apt. Got little organization done, but damn if I didn't pick out most of the straight guys!

I hate those kinds of abuses! ;) [/b]
Yeah, the unappealing ones. :roll:
(No offense Straight guys, but that show is for Gay guys so the better ones will be more desirable, unless it fits the plot. Also, there is a very good reason why there is such a need for the show Queer Eye For The Straight Guy. Too many Straight guys need some serious help!)
If that's the show that I saw last year, you'd swear that 85% of males out there are Gay. Of course, sometimes I wonder.

The purpose of "paid holidays", how can an employer call it a paid holiday when you have to work you regular day off to pay for it..I'm still working 5 days this week. Shouldn't complain I suppose because up until a month ago I was working a six day week.

Why? Did you see your shadow or something?
You Maineys (or whatever you call yourselves) are a strange bunch that's for sure...I had my classic mini registered in Maine because Maryland DMV are a bunch of morons, and everytime someone from that teenie weenie state saw it they would come up to me as though we were in a special secret society or something...what's up with that saco?

Well Mankie, you sort of answered your own question. While "teenie weenie" certainly does not apply to geography, it is appropriate when discussing population. So with only a bit more than a million folks living there, and very few like Guiny and myself who actually leave its quite shocking to see someone who you THINK may be from Maine. And though we are a grouchy lot, we are usually quite nice too; well, at least to fellow Main-ah's living in exile.
Did you GO all the way up there to register the car??

No, I didn't have to...to try to make a long, very boring story short...It's legal to import a classic car into the USA, which I did. MD wanted a US title for me to register the car, which it didn't have because it had just come from the UK. Rather than try to explain that to the dumb-*uck at the MD DMV I simply registered it in Maine, because they are intelligent up there and don't require residence in the state to do it. Now I have a Maine title so can go to MD and register it anytime I want....there, that's about it as abridged as it could be.

......and I wouldn't be surprised if it's cheaper to do it that way, knowing how bad that Tax Hell Maryland can be. Yet very little except too many stadiums to show for it!

Was it on this board that someone posted license plate phrases for every state?...."MARYLAND' IF YOU CAN DREAM IT WE CAN TAX IT"

That's Maryland for you!!! I think it was this board.
I use to get really pissed off when I would always hear when people bitched about politicians taxing everything and they would say something like, "Next thing you know, they'll going to put a tax on fast food, or fattening foods." The reason I got so pissed off was because I knew darned well that they were only putting ideas into the fuckers' heads and that they figured that we've already accepted the idea so go ahead and squeeze some more money from us. :mad: :mad: :mad:

I believe we are called Main-iac's, or at least the one's lucky enough to get out of there while we were still young.
