QUOTE(closeup @ Nov 24 2006, 06:59 PM) Maybe, but if you were out of town, had a few drinks, and she did a little more acting to make it seem real, it wouldn't take much to agree to it. Not saying you would, just saying a lot of guys would. Besides, she probably hit on 20-30 guys, I think the odds are pretty good at least a couple are going to get caught. yeah you are right.... She'll bag one eventually

QUOTE(closeup @ Nov 24 2006, 07:13 PM) I thought I was on a "Candid Camera" type show last year. I show up with my crew to this old farm house ready to spend the day moving them. We start the tour to see what has to be moved and the whole house is jam packed full of junk. Floor to ceiling, every single room has just barely has enough room to walk thru. Most of the furniture is buried in this mess. Then the basement, packed with about 10 truckloads of stuff. The garage-same thing. Barn-full to the brim with useless junk. It would have literally taken 10 guys a week to move this shit. It wasn't Candid Camera, it was just a nutty old lady and her daughter who never threw out a single thing in their whole life. What a clusterfuck. Did you have sex with the daughter as extra payment?

FROMMER'S TOP DESTINATIONS 1. Krakow, Poland 2. Tokyo
3. Minneapolis
4. Panama
5. Asheville, N.C.
6. Ethiopia
7. Portland, Oregon
8. Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands
9. Okanagan Valley, British Columbia
10. Glen Canyon, Utah
11. Zurich, Switzerland
12. Portland, Maine Portland has joined the likes of Tokyo and Zurich, Switzerland, as a must-see destination for world travelers, at least according to Frommer's, publisher of a series of highly acclaimed travel guides. On Tuesday, the company announced its top 12 world travel destinations for 2007. Portland is ranked No. 12 on the list, recognized for its culture and restaurants and the ease of exploring the city on foot. The ranking, and the publicity that will come from being promoted in various guidebooks, should give tourism here a boost, city and tourism officials said. "Frommer's is a premier tourism and travel guide, and it certainly should increase the awareness of our destination around the world," said Barbara Whitten, president of the Convention & Visitors Bureau of Greater Portland. "We've been on the top ten, top five or top three list for a wide variety of things. This is another affirmation and a great distinction for us." The list was compiled by the guidebooks' authors and experts and reflects a mix of "surprising, thriving or emerging" travel destinations. Portland has some pretty heady company. Portland's waterfront and trail network shares billing with the Caribbean getaway of Virgin Gorda, in the British Virgin Islands, and with the ancient city of Krakow, Poland. Closer to home there's the Smoky Mountain town of Asheville, N.C., and that other city with the same name: Portland, Ore. Deborah Wakefield, spokeswoman for the Portland Oregon Visitors Association, said she expects the listing to boost visits. "We see a lot of visitors who walk into our visitors center with either a guidebook or a newspaper in hand," she said. "I know the power of the press is very influential in travel decisions. People just have so many choices. There are so many places to go; a lot of time you need that mention in a list or article to push people over the fence to your destination." The description of Portland, Maine, is almost gushing. "A university town (Bowdoin and U Maine) and burgeoning retirement location, Portland has a fantastic mix of culture and education," according to the statement released by the guidebooks company. The statement also praised "an impressive amount of first-rate restaurants," citing Fore

My buddy lives near there and says it's nothing special haha. But not to rain on your parade. I'd love to visit eastern Canada/north eastern USA some day. The only place I've been to on the list is Okanagan Valley in BC and it is pretty beautiful. Been to Minneapolis but only on a stopover on a flight so never left the airport. The one thing I remember is that at most restaurants the people helping you could barely speak english. Is this the norm in America?

It was probably due to the pictures you posted. As soon as I saw them, I know I thought of seeing the area. Maybe Frommer is a member. And you have done a lot for your city's economy. I just hope Frommer isn't that fake posting guy.

QUOTE(closeup @ Dec 19 2006, 10:40 PM) We had a police chief here for 17 years(Mike Chitwood) who was the prototype for "Dirty Harry" He came from Philly where he was the most decorated cop in Philly's history. Anyway, there was a story today about how in his new job in Upper Darby, Pa. the cops are selling t-shirts with his favorite saying on it: "Not in our town, Scumbag" They've sold a bunch of them so far. His son is police chief in Daytona Beach, Florida and said he wouldn't mind having a few shirts sent down. His other most noted quote is: " Don’t even think about it ‘Scumbag'" Sounds like McGarnical!
