Where do you live that neighborhood cats take the time to gift wrap, never mind acquire human poo poo, to be left on someone's doorstep?

Yeah, 'cause that's what I meant. My guess was that an animal picked up the napkin-wrapped poo poo and left it there.

What do you call a plant that forms the "hair" section of a person whose face makes up the ceramic pot that the plant grows in? I know these novelty potted plants exist, I know I'm not crazy.

If you don't like iTunes, don't use it. Winamp handles iPods just fine, and there are countless other free alternatives.

Does anyone know where I can order a trophy base with a front that can have names engraved onto it? It would look similar to this:


I just need the base. I don't need anything on top of it, and there just needs to be room for four names. I've searched for hours, and I can't find a reasonably priced website.

Call a trophy store in your area.

I got pulled over last night on my way home from work. In my defense, it was after a twelve hour shift at a casino and it's 4:30am. I was going 40 in a 45 and drove past a cop that had pulled someone else over on the right side. I was in the right lane. As soon as I passed him, he jumped in his car and gave me a 'Failed to yield to an emergency vehicle' ticket. The ticket was only for $89.49 which isn't my huge concern.

What city and state was it in? Also, why didn't you move to the left?

Do people not from Hawaii know what malasadas are?

You're saying that they used "Texas Toast" instead of the appropriate doughnut? You know that it's just fat bread, right?

I got a traffic ticket in February, and I keep trying to register for online traffic school, but it keeps saying "Citation not found." My court date is coming up in early April so I'm wondering what my other options are (trying to avoid going to court as much as possible, obviously). Why the heck is the site not finding my citation? This is in Los Angeles if that matters.

Call the loving court. Find the number on the ticket or online and call the clerk and ask them what to do.

Would it be bad etiquette to ask the girl next to me at work not to play her Christian music next to me or would I sound like an ogre? I have no problems with people playing music next to me, but I do have a problem with it when it is Hillsong. Makes me uncomfortable.

She shouldn't have her music loud enough for you to hear, but if you're OK with her playing music, just not Christian music, then yeah, that's kind of a dick move.

How much am I really supporting the artist if I buy off itunes rather than from a used CD store? And in this hypothetical, say the band is defunct and the indie label it was on has since been absorbed by other entities. Yes this is the moral dilemma I face: buy from amazon used for cheap or pay 9.99 on itunes for a band whose members have since moved on.

Well, I'm not sure how much they get from iTunes, but no one makes any money buying it secondhand.

Hmm, I'll have to think about it. Suppose you guys have any other suggestions on how to make a good, large enough grid for D&D that could be easily reused? You have to pay through the nose if you get some official grids from hobby shops.

Any office supply store will sell tape specifically designed for marking whiteboards. It's pretty cheap and super simple.

Call Animal Control. Don't shoot them with a pellet gun, it'll only injure them painfully or piss them off. If you're going to shoot them, really shoot them.

I was wondering if anyone knew of some kind of map-plotting online service that I can place points onto.

I'm doing the market research to start up a business and I have a lot of data from the office of national statistics so I have figures for businesses by country area.

I'm hoping to be able to colour code these country areas by relevant business density (more businesses I can sell to, the darker the region) and plot onto this the number of competitors in that area.

There are a few other things but thats basically it.
