Jaguars!: Jul 31, 2012

I always thought nothing interesting happened on the day of my birth. But turns out something did!

Today we remember a noble man who died to secure benefits for his family.

I still feel both extremely sad for him and also horrified at the graphic nature of his suicide, especially the torrent of blood from his nose.

Sucks that poo poo like that has to happen and still does happen every day.

My brother got a similar effect about an hour ago when he offered to take the remainder of the cake out to the car and then tripped over the sill on the way out. :smith:

Yeah, instead of getting nailed to the wall for a measly $300,000 from some company in California, he could be getting $100 million from Eurotrash Russian oligarchs and no one would give a gently caress!

You know it is or will be in 5 years. Since they stopped making rock a few years back, I think all it's all classic now
