I don't think I've ever had such a strong case of object lust!
This is not at all unlike sketches of what I've been planning build out of fiberglass once I have space in my workshop and an old scooter as the frame...
"what i'm amazed at is the fact that the Porsche is only valued at $9k."
My thoughts exactly. I suppose that just means I'll have to shop in California when I'm ready buy mine, because there's no way you could get a decent condition Boxster S of any model year for $9000 around here...
"What better way to pay tribute to my medium of choice, then permanently inking those marks on to my thumb?"
I think the best way to "pay tribute" is to buy more Lego.
This is just simple narcissism and attention-seeking, like most other tattoos. Subtle in execution, but the fact that it's shared across the internet kind of negates all subtlety.
I don't dislike the tattoo, but I dislike the selling of the idea that tattoos are some sort of "perfect tribute" to things that you like. Maybe "a" tribute, but to those things, but they're much more a tribute to the person behind the needle. After all, you're willing to let that person write on you with permanent ink.
@Edward "As long as you are rich, there are winning lottery strategies. For example: if there are 8 million dollars bet on the lottery each time it is played, then buying 8 million dollars of tickets gives one a 50/50 chance of winning. If the prize is well over 16 million dollars, then it is a good investment."
First, the odds of you winning the lottery don't change with the number of dollars bet. It doesn't matter how many dollars are bet.
The main factors to consider are how many possible combinations of numbers there are, and what the payoff is for hitting the one **winning** combination. If the total payoff for a win exceeds the cost of covering all possible bets, you have a potential winning strategy...
Until you consider that others are also playing, and there is a strong possibility that you'll split the pot with at least one other player.
On top of that, you have to remember that not every dollar of ticket sales goes into the prize pool. About half goes to support whatever cause the lottery was set up to benefit and administration fees. Also, not all of the prize pool goes to the one(s) who match all the lottery numbers. You have to deduct out the lesser prizes, too. So of every dollar bet on the lottery, perhaps 40% or less goes to the jackpot, and 60% does not. It takes $20 million or more in bets to make your hypothetical $8 million jackpot prize.
Be glad you're not rich, Edward. I suspect it wouldn't last long.
Unfortunately you can't wash them on the inside effectively.
I don't think there should be a blanket policy either way, but euthanasia is almost certainly the better choice for most of the ones I've seen photographs of.
After going through a lot of other YouTube golf ball impact videos, I think this is real, BUT this isn't your typical mens' tournament golf ball where hard distance balls rule. It's probably one marketed for maximum control and is almost certainly a softer ladies' golf ball at that.
I had a roommate puke on a beanbag once and neither of us could afford to replace it. We washed the cover in the washing machine, and the beans in a tub.
It ended up very clean, and actually smelled so much better after the wash that I wished I'd done it when it was new.
It was pretty amusing to get the beans dry. We had a shower with glass doors and aimed a blower fan down over the top of the doors and had what looked like a giant blurry snow globe in the bathroom.
Why does the summary here say the pasta was $32.50 and the day's total was $80.00, but the article itself says the pasta was $22.50 and the day's total spend was $60.00? Yet all the comments at the article's source indicate $80.00 was the day's spend.
I think the spoiled cow who wrote it started to realize just how self-absorbed she was coming across and decided to cut the numbers down a little to try to save her reputation at the margins.
"Survival tales" like this are written all the time, usually just the result of a writer on a deadline without an idea. You take an old idea that's been done a million times, exaggerate one aspect of it, and work from there. I've done that myself on many occasions.
In this case, I think she's just trolling for hits to her web site.
It'd be great for deer hunting in the backwoods. Do you know how hard it is to get a dead deer out of the woods?
But I'd just use it for fun an hooliganism.
How can you miss this one:

Brilliant. Every photo is more inspiration.

Nothing wrong with that, in fact, I want to be among the first to know if you do...

If you have something so basic memorized, why would you want to look like you haven't?
Either way, it's not a choice I can understand without a lot more explanation...
