I smile every morning when I take a peak at TDT's karma level and see it 20 below where it was the previous morning

I saw that!! I am going to work harder at offending people if I want my "most negative karma" title back!!

Where I work, a student got his car booted and went in to the Business Office to complain about the parking ticket charges on his account. One mention from him of coming back with a gun and six of Eugene's finest showed up. After scuffle, some pepper spray and handcuffs, he was escorted away. Hey, at least you didn't get pepper sprayed!

At CSB the year after I graduated, I tallied up $275 in parking tickets while visiting now Mrs KR (still unpaid obviously) and one even had a note on the bottom saying my car would be booted if I accumulated another one.

A month later at about 9PM, I was coming out to my car and saw a fellow Johnnie walking through the parking lot carrying a large bolt-cutter. In my obvious lust for justice, I helped him cut the lock off of the boot that was on his car and remove the boot and place it in his car for unknown purposes.

The next day I was walkign by the bookstore by where CSB security parks their cars and damn near died laughing.

The cocky awesome SOB had bought a lock and had booted one of the security vehicles!

My senior year, some friends had seen someone knock over a "employee parking" sign and just drive away. They grabbed the sign and kept it hidden in their closet for months. Then the night before April fools day, they dressed in black and put black smudges on their faces and ran a "covert operation" to put the "employee parking" sign in the middle of the fountain up by the Main building. They even videotaped it. At one point the camera was accidentally turned off, so they when back and reenacted it. When they were walking back to Richarda they past a security guy and he didn't even stop them. Hmmm...three women dressed all in black, stocking caps and black faces with a video camera! I would think that would be a little suspicious! Campus security on the ball as usual!

KR,

Most importantly and over looked here is how you got that dent on the driver's side door.  I can only hope it was your spouse...btw: 89 bucks sounds dirt cheap for all that work.  I bet it'd be 3x that in Minneapolis/St.Paul after violating a snow emergency for instance. 

Hey Duffman,

Glad I can make your day a bit brighter!

Good stories. I still like Mongo getting hit with the spotlight by campus security while trying to streak the quad best though...but maybe it's because I was there to watch the hilarity firsthand.

Speaking of Mongo...I drove through North Branch on Saturday. Nice outlets stores and helpful gas station attendants. It seemed to be missing something though...I can only hazard a guess that it was the Big Man Camp MVP who now resides in Vegas.

Duffy - You scared? Awfully quiet from your corner since TDT threw out the challenge...Has the Brute Squad been disbanded?

Minneapolis tow prices start at about $130, then go up if they have to keep it over night, plus there is usually a $30 ticket added from the 5-0.  I had my car impounded at 11:58 PM and picked it up the early the next morning and they still nailed me with a full day of storage.

WW, I don't even need to pump myself up for this.  If there was a yawning smiley, I'd insert one here.

one minute = one day....even if you beat the car to the impound lot, they will nail you for a day's "storage"  

To Duffy ~

WW: The battle of wits has begun. You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong, so you could've put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal, so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Duffy: You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work.
WW: IT HAS WORKED! YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHERE THE POISON IS!

I dedicated my life to the study of defeating Duffman. So the next time we meet, I will not fail. I will go up to the six-pack toting man man and say, "Hello. My name is Willy Wonka. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Kudos to those who know of that which I'm quoting and the proper one-word response

Inigo Montoya--The Princess Bride
Yes

Nice Google search ROR.  -K to you for that.  Also, TDT is taking bets on which of ROR's daughters gets diagnosed with Mononucleosis first (kissing disease-vday).

Might I suggest that you call a meeting of the Subcommittee for say this Saturday around 1:00 at the La and we could discuss the situation at hand.

fins-  I could be persuaded into meeting at the La.  Also, on Saturday starting at 1pm is the Wild Game Feed at MC's Dugout.  Hors d'ouvres start at 1pm with the feed at 4pm I believe, which is followed by a surprise party deal at another establishment, capped off with the Cody Foundation event at the Carpet...I think I could squeeze in the La beforehand.

That's a pretty full calendar, Frank. I had assumed that you would be attending the SJU/GAC BB game and would need to have a sociable beforehand. The MC's feed is very good.
LMK

funny stuff in here today, good work. +k all around, besides you TDT you get a taste cup full of smite per MIAC regulations.

Willy: Inconceivable!!!

The dent came courtesy of one of my neighbors last year when I lived in the Mexican Village Apartments in West Des Moines.

Woke up one morning and there it was along with my mirror hanging down attached only by a wire.


Of course no one would ever admit to it, and I assume that most of the neighbors were illegal immigrants, so calling the 5-0 would have done little to remedy the situation.

True story, one day I came home from school to find our entire parking lot had been transformed into a mexican street fair/carnival. The only parking spot left was behind a table full of useless trinkets that looked like they were made by special olympics kids. So, being the kind person I was, I get out and ask the person manning the table to move the table to I can park it. Of course 5'2 260 lb Pedro had no comprehension of the English language, so he stared at me as if I had just asked for a Taco made of waffles.

I get out of my car and move the trinket table for Pedro, and park my car. This set off a swarming of angry mexicans the likes of which has not been seen since the Alamo. Fortunately I was at least 5 inches taller than all of them and mexicans have no balls once you face off against them. Pedro starts screaming at me in Spanish until I say the magic words: "Green card" at which point he shut up faster than George W Bush at the Democratic Party convention.... I mean at Coretta Scott King's funeral.

Moral of the story: Threaten to demand Green cards and angry Pedro's will run and hide like TDT on prom night.

EngiNegro - I like your style. No one was going to get that answer from a lame google attempt per ROR.

fins - What? You mean SJU isn't going to just forfeit this Saturday's game with GAC?

Duffy - Your silence is deafening.
