Not to give a free plug, but in order to save LLPPers some good money this '07 Season, a certain hat store that was started originally by a Union College Grad in my Class of '98 -- that sounds like the top of a garbage can or sealable bowl -- has placed all Z-100 NCAA fitted caps on sale for $10 ($4.99 shipping).  Not a bad buy.

hey frank would you send me that link also

John knows a baseball player in the Toronto Blue Jays system who told him that he had upwards of 70 pairs of sneakers.

Said player was in A-ball at the time around five years ago. I can't imagine how many he has now.

All I know is that my girlfriend has over 40 pairs of flip flops.  I will repeat....my insane girlfriend has over 40 pairs of dam flip flops.  And that means on every frickin trip we go on, she will ask me to buy a pair of flip flops with whatever theme represents that area.  Cape cod its seashells on the flip flops....Maine its little red lobsters on the flipflops.......Florida its oranges or manatees on the flip flops.....She even has her own dam trunk for the things.  A FRICKIN TRUNK!!  And its not some ordinary going to college trunk.  This is a trunk that makes the ark of the covenant look like a midgets handbag. And Im going to have to carry it down to the basement in a few weeks or so.  Fantastic.

[Jonny Utah]

why would you have 4 pairs of running shoes?  Wouldnt you just wear one pair untill they wear out?  Or maybe two?

['gro]

Wow... what is going on in LLPP?  Gro was ready to blast Metro-Reg-sexual on this shoe matter... until he did a count of his own closet

3 pairs casual shoes (black, brown, and a tan pair of lugz when I'm feeling gangsta)
6 pairs of sneakers... SIX!!
          3 that I actually wear
          1 for yard work
          1 that used to be for yard work and should be thrown away
          1 crispy pair that I've worn maybe tweece (damn you 1/2 off sale at shoe carnivale.. yeah shoe carnival, what?)

1 pair black dress shoes
1 pair nike sandles
2 pairs timberland steel toed shoes for work (they buy you a pair each year, just turned down pair #3)
1 pair RPI turf shoes


Re: Gro's drinking shoes circa 1999.
Those shoes were the shhhhhut yo' mouth. Timberland, comfy, good for everything from bustin a move at all sports, to running from public safety, and everything inbetween.

I might have about 4 more pair than that -- I think Reg needs to get his tax deductions in order by donating the ones he no longer needs to the Salvation Army (make sure to get your receipt).  That way, Reg will have room for more when Shoes.com puts another 25% off with free shipping coupon sometime soon.

Yeah, my 10 pair of topsiders / sandals added to the mix definately doesn't help....

Both MR and Reg put together 6 bags of old clothes to donate.  I will take my $3k tax deduction this year....thank you very much.

Because of new tax rules ITEMIZE everything you're giving and have it signed off on by the donee's representative.

What new rules?  Can I not deduct whatever I please?....

New rules cover basic cash donations, even those that are less than $250 (must have proof -- i.e., a letter or receipt) and tighter restrictions on clothing donations (must be well-documented, citing condition and specific types of items).  It's worth the bother.

I just got an audit notice for when we started the WABY broadcasts in '04 because Union improperly kicked me a 1099 in 2006 for $5,498. even though it wasn't "income" but rather a "reimbursement" (my own donation plus the school's money toward the new broadcasts -- that wasn't paid to me until January 2005).  Because the 1099 was sent to the IRS and didn't match the $-0- on my return for that 1099, the IRS is auditing me and threatening me with a $1,600 tax bill.  So, if you don't think the IRS will catch on to minor issues, you gots another thing coming.  Now I have to backtrack with three-year-old paperwork.

Frank....U89 is in a panic...just today got a letter in the mail from the IRS requesting info from back in '05.  Is the IRS sending these letters out 'willy-nilly'??  U89 has never been auditted before, but upon opening the letter, U89 took off all his clothes and ran down the street crying....."Family Guy" style...

[Jonny Utah]

U89 dont worry.  Chances are good that they even owe you more money than you got back.  I actually got my refund back today coinsedently (yep, Im going to leave that spelling up there)  I found out 2 years ago that you have up to three years to file your taxes if you are getting money back.  And I like getting my check around now so I wait and my taxguy actually likes it.

moral of the story...spend $500 on a tax lawyer.....

U89's tax man is getting a call tomorrow am....U89 may still be naked and crying like a b!tch or Superman still though...

pbr keeps rotating thru 3 pairs in different states of use and when you run in them the shoes break down quickly and should be sent off the goodwill...also pbr keeps a extra pair for vaca running...especially in the islands of the caribbean he always leaves a pair for the locals or gives them to people who dont have any or who have old beaten down sneaks...also reminds pbr of a pair of chuck taylors white canvas high tops he had for years that pbr actually duct taped the toes to keep wearing them....

Utah....are you dating RT's ex??

Well let me throw this out there to LLPP......

So JU and his GF (JUGF) have been living together for a while now.  Now we get along pretty well and everything BUT....JU pays 100% of the mortgage/bills/utilities/everything.  Now I make 2-3X as much as her (3rd year teacher) so I dont really mind that too much.  But my question is this....

Do I have the right to do a little less housework (cooking/cleaning/laundry) because I contribute more (all) of the money?  And its not just the money really.  I work sometimes 10-40 extra hours a week (50-80 total hours including nights and weekends) to almost double my salary just to even be able to do that extra stuff.

Every time she yells at me to pick up a dish or plate that I leave out, I feel like saying "ok toots......We will start splitting the bills, and Im going to be able to afford a butler that will take care of that stuff ok?" (that would not go well by the way)

But seriously...how do I win here?

JU's question goes under the assumption that everyone knows JUGF is insane (and that LLPP knows obviously that ALL women are insane....[move]

anybody see this dood get tasered at the sen. kerry speaking event? he sounds like a pig on the spit squealing!!

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/ireports/2007/09/18/irpt.tasered.kerry.event.cnn

The Rev took a trip inside NORTH Korea in 2000.  He was interrogated one day for a book he had in his possession.
The North Koreans treated The Rev better than the American police treated this American kid.  

Disgusting.  America is not America anymore.  The Rev has been considering going overseas again.  This video just put another mark in the "Get the hell out while you still can" column.
