  1.     I suppose you know more about the wine and spirits business than I do so I will defer to your expertise on how this would effect pricing.   But you need to show me the law about products being taken off the shelf for a year.  That is flat out incorrect.  If a distributor in west TN wants to drop a brand and another wants to pick it up it has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the state and the other distribution areas.  AFAIK there is no law stating that.  The distributor I worked for previously dropped brands that were picked up by others and picked up brands dropped by others and nothing was ever taken off the market for much of any time.
  2. is that the "dirt mall"  I wonder if they have a fortune teller with an extra nipple or two.
  3. Best wishes to Don and his family, good karma sent his way.  ( I had some bankrolled he needs more than I do)
  4.   nylon rope according to the story
  5. I will tell you what would grab attention more so than sheriffs or senators not complying.   That would be Peyton Manning coming out and saying what BS it is.   People are all about celebrities and sports stars.  He would make an impact.   Whether or not he thinks it is BS I don't know.
  6. looks photoshopped,  or cut in half.  The body is way too short.
  7. I just read that story on Newser,  I find it awesome.   Gay people have a right to give the finger to them bigots.  Screw WBC
  8. saw about thirty of them in the hayfield behind the house yesterday.   Some of the males were fanned out, very cool looking.
  9.   well that doesn't count, it was for their own good.
  10. yeah.that is showing her!
  11. a standard type tool box will not block any view out of your rear view mirror.   My box is fourteen years old and sits about five inches over the top of the bed.  It did not block and sight lines on my old '99 Ford and does not block anything in the '13.
  12.     christian's/catholics never did any of that
  13. it is seriously losing my interest.  If not for DVR I would have given up on it by now.   They need to go back to the formula they had in season 1.  Let's see some survival stuff.
  14. the pilgrims only chose to land at Plymouth because they ran out of beer.  If they had more beer they may have kept on sailing.   There might be something better than beer but I am not sure what.
  15. What is the difference? You will sell the gun next week anyway. ;)
  16. meh, I am not so sure how unsafe it is.   His hand is nowhere near the trigger   Last I heard they just don't go bang all by themselves.
  17. LOL Garuf, I was just going to mention they must be using CDT for price matching purposes.
  18. if someone for whatever reason tells me they are not allowed to legally own a firearm, but it turns out they are lying and can own firearms am I still breaking the law?
  19. were the police he sold to ineligible to own firearms?
  20. Lipman has no special deal.   If they are the only distributor running to Clarksville then it must be about money.  The distributor I worked for had rights to Cookville among the rest of East TN.  We did not sell in Cookville at all.  No money to be made.  NO distributor had exclusive rights to areas of the state.  There are multiple distributors who are licenced in each of the five or six distribution areas in TN.  Lipman might have exclusive rights to Parliament brand liquors in mid TN,  just like Beverage Control has the only right to sell Crown Royal in East TN.   The trade off of being able to sell beer, set ups, and other non alcohol items is not good for liquor stores.  None of them have space for those items, certainly not enough space to make up for a 30% drop off in wine sales.   Most of the TN liquor and wine distributors are family businesses.   None of them except for Lipman and maybe a couple of others are in any position to do business with grocers.  Distribution would be done by national companies.  The downside is that money will leave TN.  I am not sure how that benefits the state at all.   And of course it came down to lobbyists and their influence.  Everything is about money.  In this instance it is not necessarily a bad thing.   If you think you have collusion to set prices now wait until a Diageo is in charge of how much you are going to pay.    I am glad it got shot down but of course I have a self serving interest in all of this.  
  21.   just because I am paranoid does not mean they aren't out to get me.
  22.   any tailgating is aggressive    By tailgating someone as you describe you may save twenty seconds total.   Now a real pro gets right up on their bumper and flashes the lights.  Heck if you are gonna tailgate then do it right.  when hee slowed down and waved you by you should have gone hammer down and gave him the finger as you went by.   Just my two cents....   ;)
  23. if you carry a gun in you ca then shut the heck up.  It is no one else's business, and it only carries a downside if found out.   If someone axes me if I have a gun in my truck I tell the truth.  "No".  Of course I don't add that there are two.
  24.   i see what you did there
  25. the pope is a political leader, he just went to seminary instead of majoring in Political Science at some state school.   For Catholics such as myself he is totally irrelevant, his opinion means nothing.  The church ran me off with its draconian views and rules.   And the line about believing in God not hurting anything but not believing seals one's doom if it is all true cracks me up. Believing in  space aliens is more believable.
