Why do so many of these stories contain the phrase "without mising a beat"? If I'm reading something and that phrase comes up I can't help but instantly dismiss whatever I'm reading as STDH.

Why would you leave the glasses on the counter? You would put them under the counter or behind you, not leave them out on the counter in case someone but a heavy item up on the counter and crushed them etc.

Plus why the hell keep the fact that you know the owner of the glasses like some secret whammy for the end, as if bringing that up earlier wouldn't have invalidated the conversation. I know the answer is STDH but goddamn.

What the gently caress

http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way...ontent=20150114

quote:

Testifying about a request for a protective order against him, race car driver Kurt Busch told a Dover, Del., court this week that his former girlfriend is an assassin. Patricia Driscoll, who dated Busch for four years, requested the order last November, shortly after their relationship ended.

Driscoll has also filed a criminal complaint against Busch, alleging that he grabbed her and slammed her head into the wall of his motor coach at Dover International Speedway last fall. Busch denies those claims, which the authorities have been considering separately.

Those circumstances brought about four days of testimony from Busch and Driscoll that almost certainly stands unique among anything ever heard in a family court.

The former NASCAR Sprint Cup champion, 36, said that Driscoll "is a trained assassin dispatched on covert missions around the world," The Associated Press reports. The news agency adds: "Busch said Driscoll repeatedly asserted her assassin status and claimed the work took her on missions across Central and South America and Africa."

"Everybody on the outside can tell me I'm crazy, but I lived on the inside and saw it firsthand," Busch said.

"Busch offered up specific examples of her returning from missions, sometimes with bruises.
"Once, he said, they were in El Paso, Texas, where Driscoll had left that night in camouflage and boots. She returned later to the hotel at which he was staying wearing a trench coat. Under it she was wearing an evening gown splattered with blood and other matter, Busch testified."

Those details add to a picture that was painted earlier, when Busch and others testified "that Driscoll claimed she was a trained assassin who had killed people, including drug lords," the AP reported Monday.

Busch and his attorney, Rusty Hardin, are holding up Driscoll's status as a mercenary to refute her claims that she was abused.

"I know that she could take me down at any moment," Busch told his attorney Monday, "because she's a bad-rear end."

It's reminding me of that goon a while back who was claiming she had like super duper amounts of money from a ridiculously successful business (it might have been real estate but I don't remember) until people in the thread started pointing out inconsistencies and poo poo that just plum didn't make sense.

Yeah, that sounds like it might be right. Just thsi whole weird rags-to-riches story with all these conveniently benevolent people coming in providing the money that wouldn't have made sense for her to have and the employees/workforce that would have been necessary. Or did she claim she alone did everything? I might be mixing up multiple people.

A college professor was addressing his history class. He began his lecture by saying, “Let’s get one thing straight: God is not real; the only God is Obama and the powerful female clitoris.” One student raised his hand and stood up and said, “Sir, I’m sorry to interrupt, but where I come from we don’t talk bad about God, because he’s our best friend.” The professor then said, “What are you, an idiot? Shut up, idiot. This is college and we hate Christ. Who do you think you are, Christian?” The student responded by picking up his bag, putting on his cowboy hat and punching the teacher in the face. “My name is Sgt. Johnathan Gunderson. And your plan won’t work, Goltar.” Because when the sergeant punched the professor, he punched the mask off of his face, revealing the praying mantis head underneath. “You’ve figured out my evil plan this time, Sgt.

I'd be interested to read that again too, I definitely remember that thread. The goon claimed she had been selling silver around the world from a very young age, bought her own house, etc. She kept getting called out for lying, people asked if she was helping run her parents' silver business which would be believable but she was adamant it was her own business. She had employees and was able to purchase a house as a teenager or something, I think she was from Norway iirc. The most memorable part of the thread for me was when I think she was asked how she was able to sell around the world and her response was "Silver sings in all languages, my friend :smuggo: "

I think she also claimed to have been involved with a drug cartel, or some kind of gang. Something like that. I might have an exaggerated memory of it because everything she said was such horseshit, but I think her whole spiel started out talking about some kind of bad rear end gang she was a part of.

Wasn't her main gripe in the E/N thread she posted about her relationship was that her lovely boyfriend wouldn't buy her a stand mixer or something? I know a stand mixer was involved, and it was very important.

Yeah, I remember that. She was upset about something her boyfriend got/didn't get her for some occasion. He got her X and she would have preferred Y or Z, and Y and Z were something odd like "some drugstore chocolates or a [$300] stand mixer, you know, just anything."

I think that was a different girl. It was an A/T thread by some guy who was in a California Asian street gang as a kid when that was still a thing in the 90s, and was actually p believable. He made it clear he was only a small potatoes teen in the scheme of things and only got involved small-time shakedowns and clumsy street brawls.

Then another user jumped in talking about how she and her brother, both orphans on their own, rose to the top of an East Coast Asian gang in the same timeframe, complete with swearing bloody revenge when her bro was assassinated (tearful dying last words to her too iirc), becoming the biggest badass in East Coast gang history, changing her identity to leave the gang life for an Ivy League school, and becoming a world-class physicist or something. She got called out for constantly using West Coast gang slang that was popularized by thug rap but not really used on the East Coast in the 90s.

I'd love to find that thread again. Went from interesting (the OPs experiences) to bullshit (badass gang leader physicist fantasy) very suddenly in the last few pages.

That was a good one. She brushed off all the really ridiculous poo poo with "well this is just the kind of hardcore stuff that goes down in Hong Kong gangs." None of the HK goons have ever heard of any such things happening and she ignored requests for sources in English or Chinese.

One thing that stands out in my memory was her suggestion that forcing a person to stay in a dog cage for weeks at a time was a common practice. I searched for that in Chinese and got back regular old stories about elderly poor people paying to live in cage homes because they can't afford ridiculous HK housing prices and then I made myself sad.

If only those gangs would let poor old people live in their punishment cages for free :ohdear:

So I went to pick up one of my friends today. I've hung out with her a lot but hadn't met her husband before. He opened the door and asked who I was, then grunted and shut it and apparently made her come back and open it for me. Then when she introduced me, he tried to do the "Squeeze until the other guy backs down" handshake. I don't usually go for alpha male bullshit, but hey, if he started it...anyway, I backed him down and made him whimper before I let go. He got all alpha male telling me how to get where we were going, while I was puzzled at the tone and the implication that we didn't both have smartphones and an in-car GPS to get us where we were going. And it was a mile away so even if we drove around aimlessly we'd probably find it.

Anyway we had a nice time, just had coffee and chatted.

It was only when she texted me this evening that he went on a rant that I was taller than he was, more fit than he was, dressed better than he was, driving a nicer car than he has (well he doesn't have any since he totaled it), better groomed than he was, that the penny dropped. Like "Oh, he was jealous, I thought he was just an rear end in a top hat!"

My first reaction was "Wow, and I haven't worked out in a few months. He's going to be super jealous once I get my workout routine back on track." :smugdog:

Yeah, that was really funny. I think she said she was punished by having to live in a dog kennel for like 4 days or something. And of course, like always, there were a few people calling her out on it but twice as many people saying "QUIT RUINING THE THREAD YOU WET BLANKETS, OF COURSE IT'S REAL!"
