I know. I think he didn't understand that it was not me addressing him in your post.

And german expletives are pretty poor. "Scheisse"..... it is not even really expletive..... It is just an emotional expression. "ficken" in all variants and "Archloch" with various adjectives "dummes Arschloch" "hässliches Arschloch" are expletives. The worst I know in german is "Fotze" - means vagina. Is basically never used. I learned it first time after few years in Germany. Is really bad.

I say 'Scheisse'. Picked it up from a German guy I worked with.

Perfect for USA#1 because it pushes the emotional button that needs it, just like **** or ****. But is ok in any company.

Muricans will either laugh, or need it explained, then they laugh.

A kid brought a gun to my daughter's high school today.

Daughter said she was in the room where the cops took down the kid.

Scheisse.

USA USA USA

woops

Damn dude. I'm glad your daughter didn't get shot. Was she freaking out or like whatever?

OK. Accepted.

P.S. greg, I tell you, you put together high quality audios.

She was in shock. Shaky but calm.

What grade is this? Was it done in a threatening manner, or more of a look what I have kind of manner?

High school. It was brought by one kid to sell to another.

So glad your daughter is okay, I can't even imagine what parents go through when they hear their children's school is on lockdown.

Thanks

OOT,

If you are at a resort in Mexico, how much extra do you tip the maid if she has to return the toilet to a free-flowing state?

Asking for a friend.

presumably toilet was in working condition when the friend checked in?

$10

$20 or more if she had to deal with fecal matter, really depends on a situation

Depends on how the % blame breakdown is divided between the toilet condition vs the "friend" who clogged it.

$20 for 100% friend at fault seems correct.

If it is just a horrible condition/quality toilet that can't handle a USA#1 poop, it is possible to go as low as $5. Nothing below that, though, no matter what. This person is literally cleaning up your ****, you gotta pay them.

LOL, why not just say "stole"? Do they say Willie Sutton took the bank's money without permission?

Wonder how they found out the kid had it in his backpack.

I wondered that also.

I figure kid blabbed to the wrong person.

How many crimes are solved because the perp just can't keep his ****ing mouth shut?

Does anyone under 30 know what a cap gun is? We played with these all the time as kids, but I can’t think of the last time I’ve seen one.

They didn't even have a red tip on the muzzle.

You have that right. I was just remembering one night when four of us were riding around (I was in a rear seat) and my idiot friend in the passenger seat pulled out a cap gun and fired it several times at the car next to us at an intersection. It was a ridiculous and stupid thing to do even in 1979, but the four of us did not think we were at risk of jail time or a conviction if caught. Nor did we imagine we could be gunned down by the local PD.

I was furious with that dude for a month or so, although we eventually made peace. He then lit off a string of firecrackers in the back of my car. I actually saw some humor in that one, seeing as I was stopped at an intersection at the time.

That guy joined the SEALs and stayed in for 20, then became a firefighter.

28 here and played with cap guns all the time. I grew up on a ten acre ranch though, I don’t remember anyone in the suburbs playing with them.

My next door neighbor growing up earned the nickname Combat Collins for his toy trunk full to the brim with sweet, sweet toy firearms. My favorite was the AR-15ish one you would pull back the mechanism like a solid foot and just let her rip for like 20 seconds.

What a time it was to be alive.

Edit: This bad boy right here

We mostly emptied out the caps and combined them in order to create more potent incendiary devices.

Cap guns were really quite fun. We also had disc guns that fired tiny (maybe half-inch?) spinning plastic discs. They had a spring-loaded magazine and could hold twenty or thirty discs. Those things were awesome.

Best thing about cap guns was the smell.

A friend of mine shot our AP History teacher with one of those in the middle of class. The disc bounced off her forehead and she screamed "YOU JUST MISSED MY ONE GOOD EYE!" I got in almost as much trouble as he did because of how hard I laughed. It's one of the highlights of my life.
