BlackSword Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings I think the insurance business in general is crazy. One of guys at the game table, his wife works in the insurance industry. According to him (and it may be a bit old news) is that every insurance company except State Farm is in class action law-suits. State Farm recently settled a class action law suit. I think they are currently on the 'make 'em smile' plan until the legal turmoil calms down. Tim also has a point, the insurance company buys the totaled car from you, and then sells it off piecemally. Hence why in Missouri you often see 'two-tone' cars, the front fender is a different color than the rest of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSword Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings I hit the sack early as the cold or flu overwhelmed me. But I still had to come into work today. Ho hum Hope you didn't catch it from me over the Hero boards. Tuesday I left work early due to fatigue and muscle soreness (I could barely stay awake at my computer). Wednesday, lets call it lower intestine problems gave me cramps all day (at work). Thursday, best day because it was only a headache (at work all day). Friday, I am doing good (but a little tired from getting to bed late). Hope you get to feeling better. Being under the weather at work is one of the top five worst experiences. Especially when its something that is not so severe as to keep you home, but bad enough that it wrecks your ability to sit still and concentrate.

Or even the afternoon off. So I had to come in anyway. And I still feel rotten. Have to go out tomorrow morning as I have an appointment as well which I cannot cancel.

I haven't noticed two-tone cars around here or back East in the past, although that could simply be obliviousness on my part. Do some states disallow this sort of thing?

The two-tone is when people go to a junkyard to get replacement parts. If insurance replaces parts they typically will repaint everything to match.

James Gillen Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings I've decided to go to church with the missus and kids today. This church is very progressive, seemingly not subscribing to the uber-tyrannical ethos of inflicting unending torment and agony upon me simply for not prostrating myself before a being: A. With no discernable proof of its existence B. that supposedly created me, yet did not give me the ability to believe in it Episcopalian, then?

Unlike you I do own every album of his, even the Japan only rereleasing of Brutal Planet with the special live track from his Australasian Tours. I always found his conversion to christianity and the back again to be a little weirder than him being a republican, but remember Alice is the Modern Devil.. so it's understandable that he'd vote republican.

Whew, I stand corrected. Don't know what planet I was on there, I should've known better. When I had all his albums (twenty + at the time), they were actual records for turntables (Ok, I'm dating myself by saying that, I know it). Anyway I transfered them all to tape and now I haven't a clue where they are at. I also have some CDs now (gifts from my younger brother) but I don't have all of them... and all were packed away when I moved, shortly after my Mom passed away, so I don't know exactly where they are at. So many unpacked boxes... Egad... I'll just shut up now. Mags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSword Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings Henry Rollins as a talking head on the subject of music. Very effective and makes good points. One of the Rollins Band CDs has a great song at the end about the 'LA Money Train.' Basic premise is that its currently all about style over substance. Near the end he states, "Its not looking good, in fact its looking pretty medicore." Another good line from the CD, he is describing someone with plastic surgery and ends the stanza with, "Its like putting pearls on a swine, you can dress it up, but its still a pig." I loved Rollins in the Batman Beyond as Mad Stan, he fit that character perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
