Damn, Adam...how many boxes of Kubricks do you buy when you order up the SW sets?  Or do you just buy cases?

   E...

Ah, yes.  Emmanuelle Vaugier.  One of the lovelier Canadian exports over the last couple of years.  She hasn't had a breakout role yet though.  She does keep showing up on some of the WB shows though.  Smallville, One Tree Hill.  I think she was on another but I'm drawing a blank and don't feel like hitting IMDB.

How do prisoners actually find out about their fellow inmates' crimes? I'd think there'd have to be some sort of outside source involved. Do guards slip out inmate's info to other inmates?

Yeah. When you get to prison you get a little sheet that says all your stuff on it, including what you are there for. People will look at your sheet or steal it if they don't believe you. Word spreads fast, and guards could care less about stopping people from learning what those bastards did.

(Don't ask me how I know all this.)*




* I saw a tv special on it once.

You're right, all the info is available.  Plus the court cases can be looked up in the law library unless the specific case is sealed.  The law libraries in prison can be just as good as any so it's available. 

Also most prisons use inmates for garbage detail, cleaning, all sorts of things where they have access to info.  Many times they know info about what's going on in the prison before all the guards find out*



*I'd reveal my source but the CO is looking over my shoulder.

Didn't he also get discharged from the Air Force for some reason, injury or something? 

You know, I have to take that back, about not finishing anything and the Air Force.  I was a little pissed when I wrote it and thought better of it between work, when I posted, and home.  If he was in the AF and was injured on the job it still can't take away from the fact that he served.

It still doesn't excuse the fact that he's a, how did Jesse put it, "sopping wet ******bag."  And what did I say about name dropping?  Calling Dustin and Philip into his tirade?  Pure genius.   I've never said word one against Dustin or DBB and although I disagree with how RS is run some times, my problem is more often with the forum rats than anyone else over there.

I don't drink coffee which has caused some odd looks, especially when I worked at Lowe's and coffee and cigarettes were a given on break.

I like my hot chocolate in the winter though.

There is a God

Actually, I've been providing such exhibits that God exists on my blog for a while now:

I think I'm up to Exhibit V now.   

I think you skipped "U"   

I used to do a feature on my site called "Hot Broads You've Never Heard Of" where I'd spy a good looking girl in some commercial or as a bit-player on a TV show and track down pictures and any bio info I could find.  I haven't done one in a while.  Two that stand out as being fun were Sienna Miller and Mandy Amano.

Amano was in the "Rich Girl" Pepsi commercial but I never was able to track her down till Maxim did it for me.

This year I plan on cutting back on Hasbro.  I probably won't be buying vehicles, deluxe or Battle Pack sets or pretty much anything that's not a 3.75" figure.  I'm sticking to 1 of each new figure or a re-pack/kit-bashed figure if it has been significantly updated in some way (paint, head, arms, etc).  All loose.  My carded days are over.  Along the way I'd also like to get a set of the 12 holos.

The exceptions to the rules are the AT-AT Driver and any Republic Gunship items Hasbro sees fit to produce.  I'd like a carded AT-AT Driver with each holo available because they fall under "carded variations" and the AT-AT Driver is my focus character.  Plus I want a couple loose because it looks to be an amazing figure.

Hopefully this path will free up some cash for the year.  I'll probably buy the odd Titanium but no more Galactic Heroes and I'll be a little more picky on the exclusives.  I plan on buying a few of the SS 12" figures and probably a GG bust or two.  There are two .45 scale MR lightsabers I want and, depending on how they look, a couple of the new blasters they're talking about.  I don't see any more Code 3 items in the future either.

There are a couple holes in my collection that I'd like to plug including trading cards, WOTC Minis and a handful of miscellaneous other items.  Oh, and in 2006 I'm going to finally buy that friggin' Blue Snaggletooth figure I've been needing to complete my vintage collection.

I've debated replacing SW with something else but I don't know.  My other collecting habit over the past few years has been 12" GI Joe figures, but with them done at retail for now I don't see much money being spent in that area.  Maybe I'll use some free time to customize some figures out of parts I already have...or start rescuing vintage figures from eBay and refurbishing them.  I've picked up a few of the new Sigma 6 figures and there are at least 3 more I want to get; Cobra Commander (who just showed up at retail), Storm Shadow and Scarlet when she comes out.

Anyway, like I said, I'm hoping to free up a lot of cash this year.  Pay off some bills and work towards my goal of buying a house.
