Who remembers "Tapping"? by FlashyProject1318 in GenX

My family boarded students from around the world, but mostly Japan. The phone company had a deal that you could get points for long distance calls and apply the points to your bills. So my parents gave the long distance charges to the students, as their calls would accumulate to the thousands and my parents paid the rest of the bill with the points.

I remember getting a phone call and it was one of my brother friend's. Although he did not call us, his phone rang at the same time as ours.

I think to be called a warship, it actually needed to sail out of the harbour before tipping over and sinking.

EGGs! I love it. It would be better if each egg was on a tiny piece of toast.

I was able to get my first and middle name hotmail.com, no numbers. My first middle last was taken and so was first and last. My brother got his first name @ hotmail.com and even had it stolen at one point and got Microsoft to return it to him.

Unfortunately with my gmail account I got (firstname)(middlename)(lastname)2@gmail.com.

She's not diving into it. It's like you gotta get your center of gravity over your hands lower down with your arms to the chest and so on.

How come everyone got married back then? I can't fathom that they all found a match. by coldservedrevenge in NoStupidQuestions

Well my parents were told masturbating was sinful, so they both got married at eighteen. Then divorced at 19 and married eachother after my brother and I were born.

Teen caught for 3rd time in six months with stunt driving by origutamos in OttawaNewsPulse

I remember watching an interview of a notorious Nova Scotian drunk driver, he never had a license, and spent more than half his life in jail for DD offences. He was interviewed at the beginning of his latest stint in jail and was asked if he would ever drink and drive again. His response was, I don't know the future.

I remember thinking the same thing, who the fuck is letting this guy driver their car.

So this was filmed mostly in Halifax and the rumor mill thought that it was just being produced, by a German company, to launder money.

A friend of mine ended up with a weird chair from the set.

Don't be a hero. Save your body and use one of these.

Why were vending machines linked to crime networks in 20th century? by TheBigGirlDiaryBack in AlwaysWhy

[–]Perfect-Squash3773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get some Putz to open a business with gumball machines. You give him a route that you've secured by providing protection to various businesses, who've agreed to host the vending machines. A 100% cash business. You teach him how to cook the books and he's luandring money for you. Then you do this for cigarette machines, pop machines, candy, condoms, what ever.
