When I was a kid there was this huge toy store in the closest big city called Children's Palace. I have a lot of fond memories of the place before it totally got closed and converted into a shiatty Best Buy. I remember when i was 12, my parents took me there and we bought Karate Champ and Stinger. Stinger was awesome...I love that game. I still play it once in a while. I found out though that it's damn near impossible to play without one of those expensive-ass Advantage joysticks. I had to borrow one from my buddy, and what I mean by borrow is steal because that farking asshole wouldn't give it up. I snuck into his sister's window at night because she left it open so her boyfriend could come in and nail her, but she was drunk and passed out so I got through there easy, but his dog started barking and shiat and I had to shut it in the closet. Anyhow, while i was there, I decided to see what other games he had in case I wanted to "borrow" any of those as well, but I swear to god all he had was Taboo. And not like the boardgame...the nintendo version was some sort of weird astrology game. I went and woke him up by slapping him in the face with the Taboo cartridge and told him he'd better get me Summer Games or I was going to take naked pictures of his sister and send them to Penthouse 'cuz she was into that shiat anyway. That little bastard saved up all summer to get me Summer Games but playing it with the Advantage joystick just felt like cheating so I just threw it away. Now I'm pretty good at those House of the Dead games, but they don't make them like they used to--it was way fun to get lit and try to destroy a giant seed-spitting watermelon in stinger. Plus people who steal money and toys from poor kids can go to hell. fark those assholes.

In other other news, submitter has no concept that those toys were being distributed, instead of just being given to one person.

Goddamn, submitter. I hope you find some sort of home for wayward fu*ktards to help you.

Could it be the submitter realizes that even in California, a hundred grand bumps you out of poverty range? Could it possibly be submitter is just making fun of a poorly worded headline?

Nah. The only possible explanation is that submitter is teh stoopid.

Cynical biatch here. When i was a young, single mother I had to resort temporarily to assistance to get child support, etc. This, and a background in social work jaded me to any type of charity. Yes, it's Christmas, but many of these people do NOT plan ahead and count on others to make their holidays and meet their children's needs, and get downright caustic when others do not fill their voids. Too many of them sit on their asses waiting for the handouts while doing nothing to help themselves or set a good example for their children.
Stealing is wrong, from a charity even wronger.

bullwinkl: Cool Story

Definitely added you as a favorite under "Cool story bro" because like 3 days in a row at work I'm having a shiatty day and read one of your stories and it makes me laugh.

Even though subby fails (and they do), the definition of poor in this country is the biggest joke in the world. You can have a color television, food for your kids, 2 cars, a house, pets, and nice furniture and still be considered "poor". That may seem trivial, but the classification of poor carries significant benefits from our government. To state that another way, the classification of poor carries significant costs to taxpayers.

The sick tag was used. And the sick tag applies to the definition of poverty.

Colgrove says the goods were being collected for homeless families and those whose breadwinners recently lost jobs.

Looks like the goods ended up where they belonged, then.

Who do they think stole this stuff: Bill Gates?

I call shenanigans 20,000 pounds of food is roughly 10 tons of food a typical semi trailer maxes out at 20,000 pounds not including the toys. The paper is from Arizona so i wouldn't doubt it is a slow news day.

2009-12-04 12:05:03 AM
Well, seeing as how this is likely to be distributed amongst as many as 10,000 people... No, having ten bucks to spend on food and Christmas gifts means you can still be considered extremely poor.

Is this how many illegal alien children have taken toys from the Salvation Army?

Can I be the first to predict that this will have a happy ending?

Based on press coverage, donations will pour in and this organization will find themselves deluged with well over $100,000 in replacement food and gifts.

In fact, i'd like to help. I'll see if I can dig up some contact info.

Hmm. A labor union has an "underground storage facility" where they stockpile tons of stuff. Then somebody who knows all about this "underground storage facility" loads up a truck and drives away with the union's stuff. Then some union employee visits the "underground storage facility" and discovers that the stockpile of stuff is gone.

Yeah, inside job. But what the hell is an "underground storage facility?"

You didn't have a legitimate social argument. You were talking out of your ass and I called you clueless. Much like the mythical welfare moms who picked up their checks in a new Cadillac it doesn't have a basis in reality. Then you responded with a rubber/glue childish response.
