Thank you. The ModRaider Team We all need to rant about things now and again... Well for some ( like me ) all the time. I thought I would create a thread where we could do that. Ok I'll start... I am so pissed off that I spent £2.25 on Helena to win the role of maria in the west end. That wa…

The 6th-grade science teacher, Mrs. Parks, asked her class, “Which human body part increases to ten times its size when stimulated?” No one answered until little Mary stood up and said, “You should not be asking sixth-graders a question like that! I’m going to tell my parents, and they will go and tell the principal, who will then fire you!” Mrs. Parks ignored her and asked the question again, “Which body part increases to 10 times its size when stimulated?” Little Mary’s mouth fell open. Then she said to those around her, “Boy, is she going to get in big trouble!” The teacher continued to ignore her and said to the class, “Anybody?” Finally, Bill…

We should never forget but I think many folks in NYC have forgotten (because: Mamdani). George W.

No winner was chosen for 1950, 1953 and 1954. 1953 was the year the Corvette debuted. I am surprised it wasn't chosen. I wouldn't mind having some of these cars, before 1990s, before computers and microchips and all the useless electronics. When anyone could work on their own vehicles like changing the alternator, the AC compressor, dropping the starter.

Ok so here is one that I randomely found when searching for "Techno"

Yes its that time of the year again, NFL football is once again with us. Share your favorite team's stories or tell us who your favorite team is. I'll start it off here, my team is the Carolina Panthers. Here's a story I picked up off their website, it was quite an exciting start for their season. Carolina at San Diego Panthers shock Chargers SAN DIEGO - Sometimes, two seconds can last forever. Empirically speaking, in football, they can last as long as a play can endure as long as the ball is snapped before the clock hits triple zeroes. As long as the blockers can hold snarling pass rushers out of the passing pocket, as long as the quarterback can dart around an…

A year ago we received an envelope in the US mail, labeled sent by Nielsen Rating, on the front it read take a survey of your TV viewing. We threw it away. 6 months ago we received another one. We threw that away too. Last week we came home there was big FEDEX envelope at our front door, again from NIELSEN.

If you are in one of these cities in USA https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/worldcup/canadamexicousa2026/host-cities Some restaurants are considering adding a 20% Automatic Gratuity to EVERY bill. Restaurants usually automatically add a 15% to 20% tip to tables with 4-6 or more diners. But because of the World Cup, some restaurants are considering adding a 20% tip to every bill. It doesn't matter if it's a table of one or a table of 10. It doesn't matter if the tab is $5, $20 or $200. 20%!! That's 20% on top of some restaurants that are already charging a SERVICE CHARGE, which they say it's not a TIP to the waiters and waitresses. …

Lucas noted that he wrote original treatments for 7, 8, and 9, and handed them over to Disney. Lucas' admission that he has even bothered to write treatments for 7,8, and 9 pays put to the lie that he was never going to make continuation movies. It also proves that he's a massive sell-out. In the end he sold out to the very same studio system he claimed to hate and want no part of. He took the money and....waddled. Seeing Lucas getting out of the SW business is a day I thought would never come. Maybe someone is going to come along and make SW films for the kids in all of us, and make a film that appeals to both young and old without insulting the intelligence and wi…

The winning time for the 1¼-mile race was 2:02.27.[/QUOTE] Look how far behind the…
