once had to resort to actually shooting a crow with a pellet gun in my parents back yard because it refused to leave over fucking WEEKS, did not have a nest or anything within sight of the property. It would come like clock work at 5am squak and KAW KAW for 2 hours, fly away then come back in the evening for a few hours, torment the dogs and KAW for no joke, 2-3 hours

bottle rockets, paintball gun, 2 dogs trying to climb up the base of the willow tree at it wouldnt deter it. Hit it second shot with the pellet gun and it flew away, never saw it again

great win

I was approached earlier by a coloured man who was asking for change and gave me a story about how he's a rapper from some group named Pharsyde and is stuck here in Canada even though he's a US citizen but was born in Spain and has 4 kids in LA etc, and he even showed me a link to a CBC article on his iPhone 4. His story seemed a little too elaborate to be legit but he was wearing clean clothes, a new pair of Jordan's and his phone had reception. Gave him my change on the way out from the North Road Mcdonalds. Came home just now and Google'd his rap group Pharsyde and sure enough it's him and his story checks out...

On a somewhat related note, years ago late at night I spotted Flavor Flav at this very same McDonalds. I have a picture of this event saved somewhere on an old hard drive.

Used to listen to Pharcyde back in the 90's.. quick google search and yep: J-Swift of The Pharcyde facing deportation in Vancouver - British Columbia - CBC News

yeah saw that on the news a little while ago, was surprised that he isn't a us citizen after so long

guy has a working phone and needs change? let alone if that was actually him?

:rukidding:

Believe what you will, but the picture of the guy in the CBC article is accurate. Same haircut, same facial structure, though he looks a more down on his luck now and isn't mean muggin. Like I said, I've seen Flavor Flav at this very McDonalds so even the weirdest shit is possible, lol.

Mcdonnalds on granville + smithe?

Coquitlam of all places. North Road, across from Lougheed Mall.

No shit eh. I still have a handful of Pharcyde songs in my library. They made a few bangers.

I have some old rotors/sway bars/springs I want to throw away. Do I go to the dump or is there a place that will take it as scrap metal?

How is the parking by Malkin Bowl? Do you just park at the Aquarium?

coloured man...lol.

moral of the story is...kids will sink you. I was just watching Dawg Fight on netflix the other day

goddamn, the amount of kids people have when they have no business having one is fucking ridiculous.

John Nash died in a car accident yesterday, can't believe it hasn't been mentioned here yet

for those not in the know, he was the father of game theory, a key element in predicting rational human behaviour in economics

he also battled schizophrenia and hallucinations most of his life and inspired the movie "A Beautiful Mind"

Anyone know how much an auto insurance broker makes per renewal? I was thinking of doing it on the side.

Depends on the value of the car, coverage, discount level, volume, and what % if any, you negotiate with the brokerage (the last one is way after you've established your competency and client list).

Also, you have to average it out with the services that make little or no money (reg, permits, address change, coverage change, storage, cancellation, new plates, etc).

To start, you'll probably make a menial wage (by the hour).

i'm buying something online and it looks like the carrier is DHL

i haven't dealt with them for the longest time but the last time when I was still living in Van, i missed the delivery and ended up having to go to fucking Richmond to pick up my shit.

I'm in the tri-cities now...since i'm probably gonna miss the package, does anyone know where the pick up location is? Cus if its in fucking Richmond i'm not even gonna bother ordering this :fuckthatshit:

What in the flying fuck. Yesterday I hear about the Burrard Bridge story, now this..

Fuck, I hate Mastercard right now. I was looking at my Mastercard statement before paying it and saw this $5.00 charge - some kind of fee. I phoned to ask what it was for. About a month ago, I purchased lottery tickets using my Mastercard. According to them, using their money for gambling allows them to charge me 5 bucks. It's in the agreement. "Don't you read your agreement, sir?" Yeah, I really like spending my time reading 50 pages of small print for shits and giggles...............

Anyway, I've been buying lottery tickets for as long as I can remember. I always pay with cash. This was the first time I used the credit card. So I ask the lady on the phone if the 5 bucks is going to some organization that addresses gambling addiction. Nope, it's another reason to take your money. She told me "We are lending you money and if it goes towards gambling, we charge you." Fucking loan sharks............ hee hee. She told me some people buy two dollar tickets to find out later that they get dinged 5 bucks. Wow.

Anyway, live and learn.

BTW, I have never had to pay interest on a credit card. I always pay the full amount, so this is the first and only five bucks those fokkers are getting from me.

/rant

lol i learned that the hard way too
anything bclc related counts as a cash advance

maybe you'll have $50mil to make up for it on Friday :troll:

it depends

sometimes the lotto people ring it up as debit instead of credit, so you'd get the charge on cashback etc

I was chatting with my coworkers about it. Apparently this is only if you buy directly from the BCLC kiosks, or if you're buying through the BCLC website.

This won't apply if you're buying from a convenience store, because they're usually setup as just a standard transaction as opposed to a cash advance.

Yup, at kiosks only. I get my tickets at the Safeway on Broadway and Commercial Drive.
