A female acquaintance told me today that she was watching Fatal Attraction over the weekend and that Michael Douglas reminded her of me.

Not having seen the movie, what does this mean and should I be flattered or offended?

Considering Douglas technically played the good guy in that one (he was still cheating on his wife though), you could choose to take it as a compliment, unless you don't like appearing like "the victim" of crazed obsession and jealously.

Maybe that was her way of saying that she'd like to have an affair with you, or that you're "stalker-worthy"

He was 43 when the film came out, so I'd say offended.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Wood.

6woods.

 

[Caesar]

A woodchuck wouldn't chuck any amount of wood because a woodchuck can't chuck wood.

 

[getthefooty]

Isn't that why the 'could' is placed in the sentence?

 

[frantelle]

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

If a woodchuck could chuck wood, it would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood

 

[beez]

Get it right people...

A woodchuck would chuck a lot of wood if a woodchuck could chuck wood


On another note, everyone should watch Go Back To Where You Came From on SBS. Part 1 was tonight and parts 2 and 3 will be on the next 2 nights. In case you missed it, you can watch part 1 on the SBS website. Eye opening viewing!

If you have broken ribs, do not drink to dull the pain because you may, as I did, exceed your limit and then be required to throw up.

Convulsing with broken ribs si not fun.

Learn from my mistakes.

money laundering.

now i understand if you go the casino or the local pub and put 10,000 bucks through the pokermachines (or any table) and cash it out, that legitimises the money because if questioned you could always say i started with 500 bucks and won 9,500.... with this scenario it is very hard for the police to follow up because there is no record with what you started with.

but what got me thinking is on the main board a few people suggesting the bloke that put a million bucks on the cats last night was money laundering.

for one moment lets assume he is money laundering and also lets say the cats won and he still has 1.3 million.

but i don't see how that cleans the money because if the cops went looking there is still a record of him deposit a million dollars into his punting account and a record of him placing a million dollar bet. so he still would still be required to explain where he got the original million from i would've thought??

 

[Caesar]

Money laundering is about disguising the origin of money. Turning over money helps disguise its origin - for example, cash has serial numbers which are traceable. Running it through a casino or TAB or something is an easy and fairly anonymous way of exchanging 'hot' notes for other cash or a bank cheque that is perfectly clean and able to be deposited in a bank without risk.

At the end of the day though you're right - you ultimately still need a plausible explanation for where the proceeds actually arose from in the first place. I think the answer is probably that the posters on the main board don't totally understand how money laundering works.

Couldn't find the clothing thread.

I don't have any good jumpers/jackets/whatever to keep me warm. What ones look good?

am i able to take football boots on an airplane as hand baggage??

I don't see why not.

Providing football boots aren't an umbrella, aerosol or sharp metal object

If you have blades though, im sure its fine.

Some wonderments aloud about a couple of things I just don't get:

When did it become "uncool" to think? When did people become so braindead that anything more than three sentences of text got labelled "tl;dr"? How did these people graduate primary school? Have they never even read a book in their lives?

Also, on a less serious (but just as curious) note - Regarding "dick cheese", how exactly does this form? Wouldn't most males shower (and by extension, wash their penis) daily? How is there ever a situation under normal, first world hygene circumstances where filth builds up on one's genetalia to such a noticeable degree that it becomes a recognised concept worthy of nickname? Am I just overestimating the hygene standards of my fellow first world males? What's the go here?

People don't know how to wash themselves properly. More often than not these are the same people that omit washing their arse in the shower.

Well relating that back to my first group of questions, how did these people have enough intelligence and general life capability (for lack of a better term) to even graduate from primary school? Surely washing yourself properly has become second nature by the time you've begun taking showers instead of supervised baths (generally around the age of 5 or 6 for most kids I'd think), or am I overestimating males capabilities/intelligence?

The same hygene questions go for those unfortunate males who possess a noticeable odour/stench that orbits their bodies like moons orbit Jupiter as well (they're probably the same people who let build-up accumulate on their penises).

I understand that concept, but wouldn't simply washing your penis daily remove/prevent any form of progressive build-up?

 

[jonoman89]

Yes it probably would, but a lot of people don't wash as much as they should.

 

[Damon_3388]

Well that's pretty pathetic of them then, living in first world conditions here in Australia.
