Which is also good practice for the inevitable zombie outbreak. (See, even though I don't understand the fascination with zombies I've learned to make jokes about it.)zen5887 post=18.72558.767647 said:

Well that and new people join. I supposed we could stop letting people join but that wouldn't be good for the growth of the Escapist.Shivari post=18.72558.767684 said:
I just liked the smaller community, seeing as I live and have been raised in a small town I like knowing everybody.
Or we could just do one of those things where the Admins check the IP addresses of new posters before they get posting rights. If they're a banned member they get banned again immediately. If you get banned right away and can't post people won't come back.
Ever.

Definitely for the best. I've been interviewed once by the TBI - I've no wish to go for the FBI.Amnestic post=18.72558.767729 said:
Yes. Damned unpleasant experience, especially when he closed his tie up in his briefcase and I'm left wondering if nervously laughing at a TBI agent is grounds for arrest. (If you've ever seen someone trying to work a combination lock on a briefcase when his tie is in it, thereby locking it closer than he can comfortably focus, it's pretty freakin' funny.)Amnestic post=18.72558.767786 said:
There was an armed robbery of a supermarket, with the robbers escaping in a stolen van with the windows tinted with spray-on window tint. The cops caught the perpetrators in a hotel with a few thousand left. Three of them pled guilty and turned state's evidence on the fourth, whose family had money.Amnestic post=18.72558.767806 said:
I worked at an auto parts store. Another employee ordered the window tint for the defendant, and when it came in I sold it to him. I was interviewed about the window tint. I was sixteen or seventeen at the time and didn't even know there WAS a TBI, so to be told there was a TBI agent waiting to talk to me was pretty scary. My mind immediately flashed to every S&M club I'd been in, the moonshine I'd run (which turned out to be not an exciting adventure but rather a poorly paid delivery job using my own car), and everything else I'd ever done.
Long story short (too late!), I had to testify that I had sold him the window tint (it was my handwriting) and my co-worker had to testify that he had ordered it even though the defendant did not deny buying it, he just claimed to have used it on a different car, not the stolen van.
Even though the defendant was arrested with the others who pled guilty and turned state's evidence against him, he was found not guilty. Even assuming he WAS innocent, that's a pretty good piece of lawyering. If you ever need a great defense attorney in the southeastern US, look up Jerry Summers.
It's actually not a very interesting story, but it's the only time I've been interviewed by the TBI so it's all I have.
I know I'm a little late with this reply but I don't get what point you're making there Classy BoyNewClassic post=18.72558.765464 said:
For once I didn't bother to read this thread (OMG ROFL) but I think the OP proves itself. Giving yourself a pat on the back and having a public cry to fish for sympathy aren't that far apart. (Just look at pop music.)
