If I leave my beater car's doors unlocked, and write in thick black ink "Free OxyContin Inside" on my trash, will drug addict thieves clean my car?

Dear grumps, you're right, and I shall now remove the two stories I just confirmed that Dan posted yesterday.

Well, how can you expect us to read you blog faithfully if you folks can't even be bothered? It really doesn't take that long to skim each day. Especially that honor killing post! It's practically a frigging meme around here by now.

Interesting about the mumps out break. Notice the kid is from England and is 11 years old. That would mean he was probably born shortly after Dr. Wakefield's shitty and completely discredited MMR-autism link study was published.

New Column!
"Help, I'm being buried alive!" by 16 year old girl
"Hey America, it's me, 16 year old girl! I know you've heard a lot about me, about how I transgressed against my family and was buried alive and left to die underneath the dirt, but really, you haven't heard my side of the story!
Akbar Zib was his name, and he was so worth it, I-- hold on, they're dumping something on my head. Wait, why, dad? Mom? Why are you-- can we stop this right now? I don't like... you just keep going and going, and-- what the heck, you guys? That's so not right! It keeps coming! Stop it! It's all the way up to my mmph mmph mmph--"

I don't know, BC. Pakistanis are just Muslim Indians. I'll bet ol' Akbar is one of those guys bitching about condoms being too big.

Is there something in the practices of Jewish Orthodoxy that prevents them from getting vaccinations?
14
@11 - Nope. Many of the kids were vaccinated. However, the mumps vaccine is not 100% effective, meaning you can still get the disease even if vaccinated. Since this outbreak was brought in from England, I certainly hope that fucktard Wakefield is proud of himself.

I'm glad you were able to find something clever to say against the guy that got shot at the gas station.

Election Fail - I went to the Ballard Library to leave my ballot at the drop-box, where I was greeted by a sign that said, "This drop-box is closed. Ballots dropped here MAY not be counted." (CAPS mine).
What the fuck? Is the Elections Board really so disorganized that they can't definitively say whether or not ballots will be collected from a drop-box?
Luckily, the post office is right down the street, so I shelled out the 88 cent poll tax for me and my wife.
