I've told this story a few times before but I flew across country twice with like 100 loose razor blades in my backpack that I had in there for school and totally forgot about. Neither time TSA commented on them or anything.

I work in an airport and have seen TSA during Thanksgiving time take the foil off of a woman's pumpkin pie she was taking somewhere, stick to fingers in the middle of it, and swirl them around.

So when this monster finally kicks the bucket, how are they going to put a raised year of death next to that 1941 to keep a uniform look?

Boring answer: you can weld a plate onto a plaque like this and make it basically look like it was there the whole time.

Actual answer: that plaque is going to be gone in a week because someone's going to crowbar it off and throw it in a river.

I mean, me, if no one else.

Should weld a plate on it and make it look like "and convicted pedophile" was there the whole time.

I remember that show Geraldo Rivera did on WGN and saw it live. He kept getting more and more worked up with pent-up anticipation as the show went on. My parents couldn't stop laughing when all it contained was a dusty cobweb and a mummified spider carcass.

Pitchford is likely a scummy businessman (A:CM debacle, misallocation of budgets, etc) and possibly vile person (unsure how legit the USB story was), and the BL series has wayyyy too much "edgy" "humor" and immature nonsense.

That being said I don't recall any indications of homophobia or similar bigotry in their games. Duke Nukem was misogynistic as hell but I don't recall it carrying over to their other releases. So while a Pitchford-Levine cage match is appealing, I'm not stunned that a Gearbox release is encouraging inclusivity and tolerance.

Also lol that mods post is so non-confrontational and polite, and the bigots still could not control themselves.

Thread might like this one since we're talking about running from the cops.

One time my older brother was late coming home from his shift at Arby's. Suddenly we had the cops swarm around the house banging on the door demanding to know if he was home. Turns out he was on his motorcycle speeding and when they tried to pull him over he ran. He even went around a barricade they had tried to throw up and completely lost them. BUT he lost his Arby's hat during the chase so they just went there and asked who had just gotten off shift and owned a motorcycle (he wasn't wearing the hat it was tucked into his jacket or something).

He very narrowly avoided jail time. Pulled a 'But I'm just a young man about to go to college and made a mistake' maybe anti-freude but the judge bought it. Did get heavily fined/community service though.
drat that sounds like some circumstantial evidence. Didn't even get his plate number?

Afaik, last time it was discussed it was decided that there was to be no pictures or descriptions of death. Nothing NSFW.

Things like news articles or obituaries are fine.
