No, but I did show a lot of cleavage.

After all, I had to bring something to the to the table.

ETA: he did ask if I were married.

Oh. I thought I just couldn't hear you because of the sound-absorbing Texas big hair, SUV crunching minis, everyone shooting off their guns, whooping it up whenever a Clint Black lookalike walks by, constant mooing of the cattle over the corny "my-dog-done-got-shot" country music and last but not least, those unbelievably stupid accents youse got down there.

From her description of leaving the tip, I think it sounds more like she Bobbits men who DON'T pick up the check than that she puts out for men who do pick up the check.

You know, RT doesn't represent all of Texas.

Does the "certificate of authenticity" mean anything? Is there any way to tell whether you are getting something authentic rather than relying on what they tell you?

I have a fairly extensive collection of similar crap. Find out a little bit about the seller who is giving the certificate (how long they've been in business, whether they have an actual brick and mortar storefront, whether they are assocaited with any player's organization or league, etc.) The certificate should fully describe the item, including the date and place it was signed.

A word of advice. Store the certificate and the item seperately. Should you ever need to file a claim against your homeowner's insurance for loss of the item, you'll want that certificate and it'll do you no good if it's hotglued to the back of the frame that hockey sweater has been mounted in. And don't forget, if its a particularly valable piece, you'll want a rider on your insurance to cover it.

And, nice fucking avatar, bitch.

Aside from noting that SUVs crunch minis, not vice versa, I won't quibble with you. Though the change in your story from me being un-understandable because of my mouth being full(and given your slutty life, I'd think you'd be used to interpreting what women are mumbling when their mouths are sort of occupied but not very full) to me being un-understandable because of ambient noise makes your excuses kind of suspect. It reminds me of that old saw about the rancher shooting the neighbor's dog:

"Your honor, my client the rancher was not there when the dog was shot. If he was there, he did not have a shotgun with him. If he did have his shotgun with him, it was non-functional. If it was functional, his eyes are so bad that he's incapable of aiming. If his eyes are fine, he just winged the dog. If he didn't just wing the dog, he was justified in shooting it because it was on his land." Etc.

Some of the Leafs memoribilia is pretty decent, too.

Really, really REALLY mean anything? Not really. Not sure they mean anything in a meat-world autograph shop, either. But you can reduce your chances of buying bunk:

(i) Who is this supposed "certifying" authority? Are they for real or some inhouse thing? If verifiably real, that is some comfort.

(ii) There are always the fraud laws. If they not only claim authenticity but say they certify it, it would make any fraud more indefensible and eggregious. There is probably some (small) comfort in that. Most eBay forgers and fakers tend to leave wiggle room in their description language to preserve a secondary escape route.

(iii) If the seller has been selling for a while, someone knowledgeable will likely have bought from them at some time or another, and if they are selling fakes would probably have reported them (or left negative feedback). For some types of stuff (curios, antiques, imports), you'd be surprised how many professional resellers pick up stuff cheap on eBay they can mark up to real-world buyers, just as a lot of wholesalers pick up remaindered stuff in bulk to unload on eBay. That's, frankly, probably more comfort than i or ii above.

(iv) Just discount your purchase price by the risk of fakeness. Or, what are you willing to pay for an X% chance of getting a real autographed thingy? For $15, you may be willing to take some real risk, for $150, maybe none. Buying on eBay is always something of a crap shoot, you just decide how much of one you want to make it.

Nice shades.
Gene Tollis puts on his best poker face on the opening day of the 35th World Series of Poker at Binion's Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas. The tournament ends on May 28th, and the winner is guaranteed a prize of $3 million, which could be higher depending on how many players participate.

One cure for Friday Afternoon Boredom is to type "tripplehorny" in on google and read through all the page hits. Ah, memories...

Two things:

1. Thank you. Very helpful.

2. You want me so bad.

Or, watch this.

http://www.fuckallyall.com/article1893.html Just hit play. Spree: NOT NOT NOT work acceptable. I left the URL up so that you could see that this is NOT NOT NOT work acceptable. It's a video purportedly shot from an Army helicopter of a couple "fornicating in a convertible."

Commentary from Army guys is quite amusing. "anything action to report. oh we've got action, I don't think we need to report it. It appears to be fornication in a convertible." And "she is really going to town on him."

In addition to noting that I forgot to add an 's' to 'SUV,' I'll note that we don't have the patience here in the center of the universe to wait out your interminable "saw" (filled with dogs and shotguns) for whatever pointless, obvious, simple meaning to make itself clear.
