Re: Random shit Not sure why I just thought of this, but watch this video of Apollo Robbins, a professional pickpocket. I met him last summer (he is married to a friend of a friend), but had no clue he was pretty big in Vegas. I just thought he was some party magician. [video=youtube;MG2HPtbV-80]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MG2HPtbV-80[/video] A good (but very long) article about how he got into pickpocketing. http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2013/01/07/130107fa_fact_green

Re: Random shit I got a kick out of some of these Paraprosdokians A paraprosdokian is a phrase or sentence that leads us down the garden path to an unexpected ending. "Where there's a will, I want to be in it," is a paraprosdokian. Winston Churchill loved them. 1. Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience. 2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on my list. 3. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. 4. If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong. 5. We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public. 6. War does not determine who is right - only who is left. 7. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. 8. Evening news is where they begin with 'Good Evening,' and then proceed to tell you why it isn't. 9. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal ideas from many is research. 10. A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station. 11. I thought I wanted a career. Turns out I just wanted paychecks. 12. Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that says, 'In case of emergency, notify:' I put 'DOCTOR.' 13. I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you. 14. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy. 15. Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman. 16. A clear conscience is the sign of a fuzzy memory. 17. You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice. 18. Money can't buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live with. 19. There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away. 20. I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure. 21. You're never too old to learn something stupid. 22. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target. 23. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. 24. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. 25. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. 26. Where there's a will, there are relatives.

Re: Random shit Obama Snubs Thatcher Funeral Margaret Thatcher, the longest-serving British prime minister of the 20th century, was laid to rest on Wednesday. The funeral took place at St. Paul's Cathedral in London as thousands of guests from around the world gathered to pay their respects. Not among the guests, however, was a single Obama administration official. Apparently, the White House was too busy exploiting tragedy in the final days leading up to the Senate's failed gun control vote to send any senior members. Either that, or perhaps the administration was simply expressing its hatred for strong, conservative women. The U.S. embassy remarked that it was "a hugely significant week in terms of U.S. domestic politics." Further, a spokesman went on to explain that Michelle Obama and Joe Biden are "the president's point people on gun control" and that "there is a lot of movement on Capitol Hill on gun control issues." But Republican Speaker John Boehner did send a House delegation. To say the least, Obama's snub of the Iron Lady's funeral caused the British "surprise and disappointment." Recall that Obama sent an official delegation to the funeral of Venezuelan thug Hugo Chavez -- a socialist with close ties to Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Cuba's Castro dictators. The fact that no one in the Obama clan could even make an appearance is deplorable and speaks volumes regarding their open hostility toward Liberty and the heroes who brought down the Soviet Union. http://patriotpost.us/editions/17787
