While a mouse, as in the animal, is mice plural. Mouse as in the computer thingy, is mouses plural. Also, louse is singular for lice, which is where lousy came from, it used to me full of lice.

Who the hell decided that? You can't just steal something else's name for a new device and then change the linguistic properties of the name for just your copy. That's just confusing.Originally Posted by Jaitne
Well, from what I'm getting, that's the way they patened it.. or something.
According the the CNN morning news Halloween actually serves a purpose for adults. It's an excuse for women to dress in sexy outfits and not feel like they are being skanky. As well as a chance for women to mark their men as theirs by forcing them to wear a matching/complimentary costume to any Hallloween parties.
It took you this long to realize that?
I used to think that logic only worked in the minds of high school girls (thanks Mean Girls), but apparently it extends well into the 30's.
man, thats werid....it was thinking the exact same thing (about slutty outfits)....when i was comming home from the gym, i passed by the campus bar, and they're having this halloween pub. I swear, every girl i saw waiting in line was dressed like a slut. I even saw a few who were just wearing a dress shirt and panties. I dont even know how that qualifies as a costume? are you dressing as a stripper?
It's not much of a costume if they're whores the other 364 days of the year.
Similarly on the walk home from the gym, I had a girl dressed as a Sexy Commando walk in front of me for most of the way.
It was not a displeasing experience.

<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Today I learned that while Strawberry and Kiwi are usually very pleasing flavours, when combined with additives and preservatives and packaged into the juice boxes sold on campus, they become unbearably vile.
Hmm... There's this one Wild Strawberry - Kiwi juice sold over here that's actually pretty decent. I wonder what went wrong over there. Or perhaps it's just a matter of personal taste preferences.
I'm pretty sure it's due to the fact that no real strawberries or kiwis found their way into that juice box.
That could certainly explain a few things. The one over here is from a quality juice maker (it's from Sweden, and even if I risk sounding unpatriotic I've to admit the Swedes have always possessed a special knack for making juices).
Today I learned that the great state of Alabama feels that the distribution of sex toys is more deserving of punishment then selling firearms to minors. According to a law recently upheld by the 11th Circuit Court,
The part in bold struck me as quite interesting since intent to distribute often comes down to a purely quantitative interpretation. What this means is even if a person purchases ' devices' from out of state if they have too many (probably defined as more than 1 since we're talking about a state of prudes) 'devices' in your house they could be charged with Possession with Intent to Distribute.
And the penalty...up to a $10,000 fine and/or 1 year in jail. As a contrast the maximum penalty for selling a cigarettes to a minor in Alabama is $50, for selling a firearm it's $500.
It would be extremely hard to base a case solely on that in the court, so I doubt they would even try unless it's a rock solid case, like somebody having a warehouse full of dildos and a preorder book already filled by the names and addresses of underage girls, cardboard boxes lined up and waiting to be carried to the post office for shipment... That would be a solid case of an intent to distribute.
But they would likely lose a case just because somebody has lots of them in unopened packages. There are all manners of collectors around, after all.
They wouldn't win the case of course but they would definitely try, no offense but this is Alabama we're talking about and this is circuit court so you never know what could happen. I wonder how this all came about, could sex toys really bother someone so much that they would change the law and impose a 1 year jail term and or a $10,000 fine? I really don't get this one, and never underestimate "Intent to Distribute" its vague for a reason and cops and prosecutors often exploit it to the fullest, I've seen many examples.

Heh. I'm sure the supreme court would be delighted to handle a case of determining whether some eccentric collector's dildo collection would be meant to be distributed to underage persons or not... I'm sure they don't have anything better to do, after all.
lol, you have a point, and I'm sure the media would love to cover such a case not to mention the frenzy of lawyers who would want to take the case.

Lol Kraco it's funny that you say that since the U.S. Supreme Court recently (last month) refused to even hear the case. The Alabama sex shop owner who originally tried to get the law overturned appealed the Circuit Courts decision to them but if the Supreme Court won't hear it she's pretty much dead in the water.
Thats a bitch.
