NO.. I just had no idea. That was an honest reaction to that. Grenado (my son) can't say 'ain't' without being corrected.

Ok... any reason we got onto the subject of a boy?

I believe it had to do with saggy pants signaling open house status.

That is just PRICELESS

I can't look at 50cent the same way again - was he shot all those times because he didn't put-out?

BeSiege82 · 01-20-2008, 11:57 PM

I guess so, Insun.

What I have to wonder about is why little 10 year olds want to dress like that.

**Ferris Bueller** · 01-21-2008, 03:42 AM

Simple: they dont know any better. If they do, then they're just idiots.

BeSiege82 · 01-21-2008, 07:07 PM

Got a point. Any new one guys?

My father worked in Hazardous Materials. He was scheduled to work inside a large waste disposal tank and had to take the day off since he was sick. The guy who went in for him took my dad's gear instead.

Since the fumes of this tank has arsenic in it, the people had to wear breathing masks which have a warning signal that goes off when it's low on oxygen. The guy who had my father's gear ran out of air without the warning going off. He took off his mask to breathe. This caused him to inhale the arsenic and it solidified in his lung.

This condition kill in around five years, the company let that guy off with full pay and a bonus for the last off his life. My father left the company cause it could have been him and i wouldn't be here.

Wow.... not to sound twisted, but your dad should count his blessings that it was not him.

My dad worked with a company that made heavy hydrogen for fusion work back in the 50's and he was inspecting a tank one day with a faulty flashlight. The explosion scarred his cornea on the eye he was using to look inside the tank with. A graft of skin was put over the whole eyeball, with the intention that one day he'd get a cornea transplant if he lost vision in the other eye. Alas, he died in 75 (emphysema from smoking), before he ever saw the advances in medicine that make such surgery almost-routine.

Dad had a major in Geology. He used to go out into the west and in his spare time he would free climb the cliffs and rock.

For those who don't know, free climbing means you climb without a rope or a safety harness, you slip and you fall to your death.

Well one after he climbed a HUMONGOUS rock and couldn't get down. He promised god that he would never climb again if he were to get down. He doesn't remember how got down to this day.
