If they shut down multiplayer halo and only one guy kept his machine on wouldn't he just be playing himself?

What if billy Joel's Daughter just wanted to buy a front seat at her father's concert ?
PaulLynde
Wanna see some naked pictures of Bea Arthur?

Yeah because TodayILearned is a thing, aka the place these got nicked from

#1 - That's fortunate. It would've just been awkward to have some dude strip down to his panties at the end.

I've always just read these a day or two ago, but not from factrepublic.com. Are they from Cracked?

#9 I remember reading about the Halo 2 one way back when. I thought they didn't boot him, his console overheated and reset?
Cronos51101
Correct, in fact, Microsoft made it a point to not boot anyone at the end. They just wouldn't let you re-join after leaving.

I went with three people to see Billy Joel in Lincoln a few months ago and two of my group were surprised with front row tickets once in!

And that is how Margaret Dickson got off scot-free.

Why don't we ever talk about this Apache N4SIR more?
TidePodPirate
I just wondered what 'booted' means

someone like's Billy Joel, but Bea Arthur as Maude was a bit of a bad ass, that marine driver info makes sense, too bad her and the queen

Such a great movie

So, is "wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube men" the correct term for those? And to think I've been calling them something silly.

Take your upvote.

I know that's what they were called on Family Guy, but suspect brand names are slightly easier to pronounce and market.
perry147
So why doesn't Billy Joel just sell all his tickets are the cheap rate price, and the problem solves itself.
TemporaryUzername
sounds like you've never attempted to buy tickets for good seats at literally anything with a following.
othelloinc
Scalping.
ApotheosisCM
Because people buy the front-row tickets as soon as they become available, and then sell them for tons because there's no way to get them.
Whty706
I mean, a blind guy made it out of the WTC, but regular people were jumping out windows..?
Sinosaur
They didn't have a guide dog
rockamoley
The people jumping were trapped above where the planes hit. This guy was below the 93rd floor of the North tower.
Whty706
I was just making a bad attempt at a snarky/off color/not funny comment. Preciate the facts though

"Was" a guide dog. https://media.giphy.com/media/atdfR35cmqLHa/giphy.gif

I mean, 9/11 was 16 years ago, if she led him to his friend's house, she survived the attack. Even if she were a puppy, she'd be dead by now

well thanks, now I feel old too. WHY IS TODAY SO HARD.
CaroleBaskingShark
no, and 5 minutes from now I will return to not knowing them. Such is the nature of trivia... trivial.

"Pandora's promise" , go see it. They did

Excellent documentary!

Any chance it's on Netflix?

It used to be on Canadian Netflix, but it was removed. Not sure about US or other countries.

Can confirm the Billy Joel one. My friend and I were walking into the BJ/Elton John concert in Columbus and a girl handed us front row tix.
amishgonewild
I can confirm too! My friends and I saw a show in State College at the Bryce Jordan Center and got tickets when walking around the concourse
meganical
Damn, Elton John AND blowjobs? Some guys have all the luck
waynestang
Best concert ever. Dueling pianos. Elton John crushed it.
Geek13
Heh. BJ - Elton...
CaesarAriel
This happened to me and my mom at an Elton John concert. Fourth time she'd seen him live and he held her hand and signed our tickets.
alwayzup2shenanigans
I've heard Billy Joel also loves doing it to stare at hot women.
amishgonewild
We "fit the profile" for getting front area tickets. He wants pretty people for the videos of the show...damn that sounds creepy now
ApotheosisCM
Both Piano Men in the same concert? I really hoped that had a piano duel a la the Ducks in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
DrForester
#10 Fans waiting for these front row tickets have been reported as waiting for the longest time.

I live in Houston and have no idea what aesthetics they are talking about.

Seriously. Houston is shit. Texas is awesome though.

Probably the traffic.
ICarpeYourDiems
Houston, the land of no zoning. But they took a stand on novelty advertisements.

You can have gigantic billboards for that scrap recycling dude in S. Houston, but no wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tubemen.

My relatives live in Houston and I came here to make your comment.

Same
Thedaleksarebadnews2
I know! I live there also and see those often. I hate them. They freak me out.
RoseFaery
Are you an easily excitable dog?
DeadlyFood
I visited houston before I thought it was a nice city but its probably because Im an outsider scenery might be drab to those seeing it daily
zodiac585
I say that because we have no zoning laws in Houston.
DeadlyFood
Ahhhhhhhh thats understandable t he b
DeadlyFood
Phone spazzed out I meant to type "then" not "t he b"
2222222222
Where are you from?
DeadlyFood
Toronto. I think my city looks like crap but a friend who visited thought it was nice.
2222222222
I just read a travel poll on condenast.com that Toronto was voted one of the best cities because of architecture,green spaces etc. Bullshit?
DeadlyFood
Got a lot of greenspace but some of the architecture looks like new building slowly assimilating old buildings. Chicago has nicer buildings
DeadlyFood
There's also a lot of crappy looking smaller buildings that should really be torn down and rebuilt or something. Only near the outskirts tho

She took a handful of homeopathic pills, and almost received a recommended dose.
dbrsong
Homeopathetic, amiright!
GaryFreakingOak
Don't joke about this she could have drowned
JonLogan
Underrated comment of the day ^
HaveYouSeenJeff
I know you're joking, but it is so much worse than that. Check out how much that stuff is actually diluted. Insanity. Smh.
momemes
lol, sad she was in that state of mind, but happy she is ok? or is she?
sparrowsgirl
I laughed- then realized it was still a sad story.

Because depression doesn't go "oh you're rich, i'll pass" or go "well I'll stay here but you'll definitely find a drug to stop me!"
mrseffingrochester
Mental illness is an incredibly complex issue and money trouble is just one of the hundreds of triggers for depression.
iWantFunk
The first and only time that homeopathy actually saved someone's life!
LazyPea
She needed to dilute them more to get the full power of homeopathy.

Pegussu
Homeopathy works by the idea of less is more. If she wanted to OD on it, she should have skipped a dose.
GentlemanScientist
Wouldn't everyone everywhere be overdosing on everything then?

Nope, not at all, just embellishing it a bit.

I was surprised when I looked for ear-drops for allergies, and realized that there are only homeopathic options.
erischilde
That's kind of a weird application. Why ears? My wife has issues with ears, and after guesses like allergies, turned out to be something els
MundaneFinality
I guess the drops weren't for the allergies themselves, but for ear pain that accompanied other allergy symptoms. They didn't help, which //
MundaneFinality
// I chalked up to them being homeopathic medicine.
erischilde
Gotcha. Well visine makes an ear drop, but the bastards put it in a bottle that looks exactly like eye drops...
RoseFaery
What are your ears allergic to?
Snooj
I love my wife but on one point we firmly disagree. She buys those things. I keep telling her tic tacs are cheaper.
RoseFaery
My sister has some oscillococcinum tubes that she refills with basically white sprinkles for her husband. Placebo FTW, lol
Pullout69
The history of homeopathy is damning in and of itself. Samuel Hahnemann experienced feverish symptoms when he took cinchona bark, and ->
Pullout69
Concluded that since it treats malaria, it would also create similar symptoms in a healthy individual. He coined this the "law of similars">
Pullout69
Hence where the term homeopathic comes from. We now know that cinchona treats malaria because it contains quinine.
HenryDorsettCase
she must be really pretty.
Snooj
She's in love with me. That fulfills my standards.
Khaylain
To be fair, it is incredible to me that some women fancy men at all. I mean, I'm happy about it, but it's beyond my understanding.

Estrogen is a hell of a drug
Snooj
I'm not completely without benefits.
fairybug
You'd have to take an entire bottle of homeopathic pills to get even a percentage of a recommended dose of the 'active ingredient'.
GentlemanScientist
No. The pills in question contain no trace of what it claims to, the recommended homeopathic dilution equals one molecule in an entire lake.
fairybug
Yeah, I thought as much. I thought it was slightly more, but I knew it was no more than a fraction of a fraction per 'dosage'.
MrWobblyHead
I watch a video of a presentation by James Randi where he swallowed an entire bottle of homeopathic sleeping pills at the start. Not dead.
