it's nice to be rich

Because of a scheduling conflict with an upcoming BS meter explosion, mine can’t go off here until Tuesday afternoon at the earliest. Until then, not only do I have to take the BS but I’ve got to like it too.

So tell me, how much can you bench?

So let me get this straight: You didn’t know what “monolingual” meant, so you looked it up on Wikipedia. That search term redirected to the page for “monoglottism” and that page didn’t use the term “monolingual”. This led you to believe that “monolingual” was an incorrect term, so you quoted the page to show that this was the case.

That is funny on so many levels.

So…you’ve gotta believe everything you hear until Tuesday? Sweeet.

45 tons. Now PayPal me all your money or I’ll give you the mother of all Charlie Horses.

Nice, but that’s an odd ton. After you put 22 tons on each side of the bar where does the extra ton go?

He got you there, Hal.

I think he’s exaggerating.
hh

i’ll tell you

it is because that some people wont bother to speak right

this is a literate board

make the effort or we will make fun

sorry so sad get over it
No, seriously. Maybe you think it’s cute. Maybe you’re adopting this as your “signature style”. Just keep in mind that it’s annoying for the rest of us to read your unstructured posts, and we’re going to tease you about it. It’s like you’re making a deliberate effort to ignore basic rules of grammar.

Even if English is your 17th language, I’m sure that with the amount of time you’ve spent here already, you’ve seen that your writing looks nothing like ours. Why not try and learn a few things and improve yourself a little? Start by capitalizing the first word in your sentences, and maybe putting a period at the end. It gets a little more complicated than that, but go take your approximately 3 million winnings and find an English tutor.

Because nobody else has questioned this, I guess it’s a cogent sentence.

Could someone explain to me what it means?

:rolleyes:

The bar itself weighs 1 ton.

Amateurs! :rolleyes:

And creamy.

You get to deduct rent from your income in calculating the taxable income? You get to deduct gifts from the 'rents? You get to deduct the cost of any garment you subsequently rent during the wearing? Do stains count too? What if it was your green dress that was rent?

What if you rented a green dress from your 'rents, and you rent it?

As long as it’s not a real green dress, that’s cruel.

Misnomer

I wouldn’t be sharing! While I probably couldn’t get away with buying a brand new weapon, I could buy an infinite amount of accessories to make it more effective. I wouldn’t have to settle for the issued sights, optics, grip, light, mags (New Expensive Magazines would be the FIRST thing I’d buy!!!-- Maybe HK Extreme mags or something better!), slings, etc. An M-16 is like a barbie doll. You can dress it up a billion different ways. Plus I would probably buy new internals for it and better springs, new trigger, new stock… hell I would probably replace everything except the receiver.
Same with my shotgun and if I ever get issued an M-9. There’s not much you can or would want to fix on an M-9 (You can’t fix garbage!). But I would definitely get brand new expensive magazines for it. Checkmate mags suck ass! But I could afford a kick ass holster for it, instead of the issued one. Starting to get the idea?
And the shotgun… The shotgun is like the M-16 as far as the variety of accessories. I’d get a shorter barrel, better/brighter taclight, side saddle, new sling, new grip, folding Choate stock, etc!!
And that’s just weapons. As far as wearable gear, I could spend THOUSANDS on better gear!! Boots, packs, bags, pouches, ruck, ruck accessories, NVGs, IBA MOLLE pouches, better plates, kickass watch, GPS, New Eagle headset etc. . .
This is just for me, though. I’m not talking about buying shit for other people. If they don’t have liquid cooled level 9 body armor with optional forcefield, that’s there problem!! ^___^

I’ve heard that as well. However, it’s not normally necessary to disclose your finances to the military. Maybe if your TS is up for renewal, or you’re doing a background check packet for some new job, you may have to disclose your current financial standing. But having more money and more credit would just increase your chance of getting approved, since you’re less of a bribery or embezzlement risk.

Hell no!!! Chinchilla is the only way to go. Mink M16s are soo 80s.

Not only that, but you’d think with some of the multi million units of after tax currency, some could be sent to Berlitz to learn how to speach good.

Me, I’m poor, so I don’t need to do that. Besides, I’m huked on fonicks :slight_smile:

Even if I won a few million dollars, I still wouldn’t quit my job … at least, not right away. I think it would be more fun to go the Office Space route and see how long I could slack off before getting fired (or promoted to management!) :smiley:

Oh please. Then it stands to reason that my bullshit meter pegged on Hal Briston’s post. Right? We believe one Doper but not another?

NOW, I call bullshit. Why can’t the fellow have won? Because his English is imperfect? -cough- intolerant -cough-

I know a woman who won the Pennsylvania Lottery about 18 years ago. She won 1 Million. Didn't stop working, but it sure does grease the skids apparently to have an extra 30,000 a year rolling in after taxes.

No bullshit meter pegging here. I believe the guy.

Personally, I thought this whole thing was posted as a gag.

I am amazed that so many Dopers were whooshed by it.

Good job, Minotaurus!
