In that case I suppose I'm comfortable with being called vertically challenged.

government aid programs piss me off, why should I pay for this shit if this is how people take advantage of it _____________________ Michigan lottery winner still accepts state aid AUBURN, Mich. (AP) - A Michigan man continues to accept state aid even though he won big in a state lottery game. Leroy Fick won the $2 million jackpot in the "Make Me Rich!" contest in June. Despite receiving about $850,000 in winnings, the Auburn resident is still using his Michigan Bridge Card, an electronic alternative to food stamps. Fick's lawyer says his client hasn't done anything illegal. Attorney John Wilson tells The Bay City Times the state knows Fick won the lottery money, since it "issued the check." DHS inspector general's office director Al Kimichik says food assistance on the Bridge card is guided by federal regulations. State Department of Human Services spokeswoman Gisgie Gendreau says under federal guidelines, if a person receives a lump-sum payment, the winnings are not counted as income. http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/state/Copy_of_MILotteryFood-Stamps_86046065

If they don't come here they won't know. :lips: And if they DO come here, that means they're just as "guilty".

indeed

I'm a little perplexed though by his comment in that interview. He made it sound like it would be nearly impossible to remix the TKOL songs; I'm no expert, but it seems like he wouldn't have to do very much with Feral, at the very least. And The Butcher would be sweet. I'm in a bit of a dilemma now; I thought for sure I would be able to take my husband to the last day of the Detroit Electronic Music Festival at the end of this month, since Flying Lotus is performing late that night. But now he can't go, even though I was considering getting us VIP passes (as a super-early birthday present for him) so we could be next to / above the stage. (He's considered learning how to mix in his spare time, so I thought that would be cool for him to see things up-close.) I still really want to go though (I'd love the chance to see if FlyLo actually tries to remix any of TKOL), although it will be a little weird to just be there by myself. But I have a feeling I would regret it if I don't go; plus there is a "secret artist" scheduled for Sunday night. Can you imagine if... :dead: If anybody can find a way to Detroit that weekend, screw it I'll pay for your 3-day pass, I want to go but I don't want to wander around aimlessly by myself. :bigcry: :sick: Wow, that's sad. Do you think the person that broke into your house is someone that knows you guys, and knows what kind of stuff your family had?

Michiganders are cool because they can show people where they live by pointing to their hand :charming:

I'm going to have a minor rant here which is a bit of a tangent but still dealing with the topic. I'm perpetually annoyed by the term 'American'. Of course whenever anybody uses the term, they automatically are referring to (or think of) United States citizens. The Americas are North and South America. So technically people in Canada are Americans, as are people in Mexico, Chile, Greenland, Panama, Brazil, etc. But no, it's just used for people in the U.S. I like the term UnitedStatesian but I just made that up. I don't think that would ever stick. Rant over.

^ Then what is someone who is 5'0"?

I suppose maybe I should clarify. The amount of time I mentioned here is time spent doing homework. I never really "studied" at all per se, since my brain just retained stuff from doing the homework.

I don't know. :| I just thought it was interesting. He seemingly randomly approached a mod (happened to be me).

I think in high school it was about 3-4 hours on average per night (although the worst one was when I pulled an all-nighter to finish an 80-page research paper as a sophomore). I actually studied less in college, sometimes only 1 hour (but 2-3 on average).

some lady tried to sell her 2-year-old kid on ebay

The lithograph competition which is getting people here excited/happy is sponsored by recordstore.co.uk. Recordstore.co.uk is part of Digital Stores Limited. Digital Stores Limited was acquired by EMI last year. just sayin' (no I don't know anything, I'm just sayin')

So, you already know what kind of degree(s) you would want in either situation? What about maybe sticking out your last year in high school, and since you're essentially not being challenged even in your advanced classes, simultaneously take some college courses (even if it's online)? Then you can transfer those classes to one of the better schools, and have a similar time frame as if you had not done your last year of high school and gone to UofK, since you'll already have some college credits under your belt. (If that makes sense.)

^ April... third time's the charm, or three strikes and you're out?

I did it again /BritneyBinLaden sorry, I'm bored

They're even douchier in real life? :surprised: I didn't know that was possible.

May I ask what each of the "pretty good" and "slightly worse but still pretty good" colleges you are referring to?

Donald Trump Releases Statement Saying He Will Not Run for President For Immediate Release: New York, New York: May 16, 2011 After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue the office of the Presidency. This decision does not come easily or without regret; especially when my potential candidacy continues to be validated by ranking at the top of the Republican contenders in polls across the country. I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election. I have spent the past several months unofficially campaigning and recognize that running for public office cannot be done half heartedly. Ultimately, however, business is my greatest passion and I am not ready to leave the private sector. I want to personally thank the millions of Americans who have joined the various Trump grassroots movements and written me letters and e-mails encouraging me to run. My gratitude for your faith and trust in me could never be expressed properly in words. So, I make you this promise: that I will continue to voice my opinions loudly and help to shape our politician’s thoughts. My ability to bring important economic and foreign policy issues to the forefront of the national dialogue is perhaps my greatest asset and one of the most valuable services I can provide to this country. I will continue to push our President and the country’s policy makers to address the dire challenges arising from our unsustainable debt structure and increasing lack of global competitiveness. Issues, including getting tough on China and other countries that are methodically and systematically taking advantage of the United States, were seldom mentioned before I brought them to the forefront of the country’s conversation. They are now being debated vigorously. I will also continue to push for job creation, an initiative that should be this country’s top priority and something that I know a lot about. I will not shy away from expressing the opinions that so many of you share yet don’t have a medium through which to articulate. I look forward to supporting the candidate who is the most qualified to help us tackle our country’s most important issues and am hopeful that, when this person emerges, he or she will have the courage to take on the challenges of the Office and be the agent of change that this country so desperately needs. Thank you and God Bless America! Donald J. Trump http://foxnewsinsider.com/2011/05/16/full-text-donald-trump-releases-statement-saying-he-will-not-run-for-president/ (lol at the comments in green)

ONE more year? Stay in school. Fin.

^ I wanted to take piano lessons when I was younger but my parents wouldn't let me for the same reason (and because they said it would cost too much) so :hug:. (Nowz Iz teach myself to playz Like Spinning Platez and Fog and shitz likez thatz for funz.) If you stayed in high school how many more years do you have?

Yeah I was thinking the same thing when I was reading the article. Nonetheless, it was a rather intriguing article. I don't mean to sound evil, but I more consider it a "coping mechanism" for one's own mortality.

(from atease) Flying Lotus to remix Radiohead’s The King Of Limbs? It’s no secret that Radiohead and Flying Lotus are big fans of each other. FlyLo has remixed Reckoner, Thom Yorke appeared on last year’s stunning Flying Lotus record Cosmogramma, and just last week Thom spun records with Flying Lotus at LA’s Low End Theory. Perhaps it’s not that surprising then that Flying Lotus appears to be remixing the entirety of The King Of Limbs (or perhaps just a song?). According to an interview with Flying Lotus in the Colorado Springs Independent: Indy: He was also on your last album. Are there any more collaborations like that in the works? FL: Not that I know of. They wanted me to remix the new Radiohead record, and I’ve been trying to mess with that a little bit. But I haven’t gotten to it yet. Indy: Tell us what that’ll sound like when you’re done with it? FL: It’s too early to say, man. I have no fucking clue. It’s difficult to work with, because the pieces that they gave me, there’s no real a cappella. It’s like piano and voice at the same time. Indy: So you can’t separate them. FL: No, I can’t. So I have to come up with some shit that’s a little similar to the record, I guess, to an extent. Hopefully this project sees the light of day at some point. But imagine Flying Lotus producing a Radiohead record? (No offense, Nigel.) http://www.ateaseweb.com/2011/05/15/flying-lotus-to-remix-radioheads-the-king-of-limbs/

Wait aren't you in some super duper smart school right now? What year are you in? Don't drop out, that would make me sad. It might seem like a good idea to get ahead quicker but, mmm, I'm not sure as if it would really add up that way in the long run.

HTTT would fit the theme of his lyrics better methinks nice try though
