After reading the headline, for some reason I'm now craving Taco Bell.

sarcastrophe: Best skiing/snowboarding advice ever was in that movie:

"Go that way really, fast. If something gets in your way, turn."

That's the advice I give to all the friends that I've taught to snowboard.


It works. I fall on my side, but that's because I'm a n00b. Advice still works. God, I want to fall in some snow right now.

I've been going to this high school for seven and a half years. I'm no dummy.

You make a gnarly run like that and girls will get sterile just looking at you.

Dialectic: 1. Dwayne has an AK47 with a 30 round clip. If he misses 6 out of 10 shots and shoots 13 times at each drive by shooting, how many drive by shootings can he attempt before he has to reload?

Three, 26 shots for the first two attempts, four shots for the third.

2. If Jose has two ounces of cocaine and he sells an 8 ball to Jackson for $320 and 2 grams to Billy for $85 per gram, what is the street value of the balance of the cocaine if he doesn't cut it?

This question doesn't make sense. Jose is charging $22.50 more for a higher quantity of coke.

3. Rufus is pimping for three girls. If the price is $65 for each trick, how many tricks will each girl have to turn so Rufus can pay for his $800 per day crack habit?

Again, this does not make sense. It is 4.10 tricks per girl - so how does a girl turn a .10 trick?

4. Jarome wants to cut his 1/2 pound of Heroin to make 20% more profit. How many ounces of cut will he need?

Again, doesn't make sense. The answer is 1.6 ounces, which is an ounce and a fraction.

5. Willie gets $200 for stealing a BMW, $50 for a Chevy and $100 for a 4×4. If he has stolen 2 BMW's and 3 4×4's, how many Chevy's will he have to steal to make $800?

Two.

6. Raoul is in prison for 6 years for murder. He got $10,000 for the hit. If his common law wife is spending $100 per month, how much money will he have left when he gets out of prison and how many years will he get for killing her since she spent his money?

First off, "He got?" This is a teacher that wrote this, right? I seem to remember... Anyways, $2800, and he will probably get LWOPPed.

7. If the average spray paint can covers 22 square feet and the average letter is 3 square feet, how many letters can a tagger spray with 3 cans of paint?

Easy, 22. Redundant question.

8. Hector knocked up six girls in his gang. There are 27 girls in the gang. What percentage of the girls in the gang has Hector knocked up?

22.22%

For me also, is this movies quotes constantly coming up. My bro and I still pop lines of it off to each other. One of the greats from that era.

I pity anyone who hasn't seen it, in all it's glory.

Great headline. I lol'd, and I never say (type?) that.

He was the kid sitting next to diamond Dave in the car at the end of the 'hot for teacher' video.

I would post a pic but I did a GIS for hot for teacher and now I've got other things to take care of.

Ennuipoet: My little brother got his arm stuck in the microwave. So my mom had to take him to the hospital. My grandma dropped acid this morning, and she freaked out. She hijacked a busload of penguins. So it's sort of a family crisis. Bye!

Grandpa pissed his pants again
He don't give a damn
Brother Billy has both guns drawn
He ain't been right since Vietnam

"Sweet home Alabama"
Play that dead band's song
Turn those speakers up full blast
Play it all night long

Daddy's doing Sister Sally
Grandma's dying of cancer now
The cattle all have brucellosis
We'll get through somehow

"Sweet home Alabama"
Play that dead band's song
Turn those speakers up full blast
Play it all night long

I'm going down to the Dew Drop Inn
See if I can drink enough
There ain't much to country living
Sweat, piss, jizz and blood

"Sweet home Alabama"
Play that dead band's song
Turn those speakers up full blast
Play it all night long

Asa Phelps: I did RTFA, and in the first half they say it was $2, and in the second half they say it was $4 for crack. Which is it?

8 weeks...25 cents a week... two dollars

Here he is with the guy that played Scott Farkus in "A Christmas Story":

Re: Xmas story cast photo:

Howcome they only got the B-list cast at the grand opening? Everyone else want to be paid or something?

peter Billingsley never shows up on the TV specials either as far as I can rememeber.

Grover Dill != Paperboy.

stevejovi: Grover Dill != Paperboy.

There were three paperboys in Better off Dead, but the reviews credit Yana Anaya with the speaking role.

The "two dollars kid" is, you are right, actually Demian Slade. He's credited as Johnny Gaspirini. My bad.

After the stabbing, Phillip allegedly told his aunt: "You're lucky you didn't die too," O'Malley said.

According to the arrest report, the altercation began over a $4 crack cocaine debt.


Here's an idea...

Let's put little crack shacks on every corner and let anybody who wants some have as many rocks as they want for free, and they can just pat the lever until they fall over and bloat in the mid day sun.

Then a truck comes around, once a day, and tosses the bodies in the back and dumps them in a land fill... just about the time kids are walking to school so they can see how good crack is.

No more crack dealers, no more war on drugs, no more 40,000.00 per inmate, per year incarceration industry, no more crack crime - like people stabbing their own family members over a crack debt. I'm a small, white, cartoon rabbit and I approve of this message.

Rather interesting. I was curious if the actor that played the paper was still acting. so I did a simple google search. search terms: "better off dead" paperboy.

The fark article is already included in the results, search #2. but then i saw down near the bottom of the first page a hit on this page:

"Better Off Dead" paperboy grows up, gets stabby [Sad] - Examiner.com (new window)

The article headline seemed familiar.

And he was also an Umbrella mercenary in Resident Evil: Apocalypse. His character was Russian, Mikhail Sayunklinov, or something

Can we at least let them FIGHT over the "free" crack rocks???

I used to work with someone who was a small small-time drug dealer on the side. He sold an unemployed guy $20 worth of crack rocks on credit and after 2 weeks still hadn't seen a dime of it. So he sent 5 people over to put the guy in the hospital because he didn't want to "hurt his street cred"...

Thats not Demian Slade aka "Johnny Gasparini". That is Yano Anaya - who played "Grover Dill" in "A Christmas Story". That picture was taken during a cast reunion for " A christmas story" with Mr. Zack Ward aka Scut Farkus.

FYI: Scut Farkus was originally supposed to be named Grover Dill. They switched names during shooting.
