Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

The Week In Weird News....
Highlights From The Week In Weird News

Hey, Is That a Cockroach in Your Pants or Do You Have a Severe Hygiene Problem?
People are busted daily trying to smuggle coveted items to make an extra buck. From fine Cuban cigars to drugs to cultural artifacts, smugglers assume the risk for the potential profits that can be made feeding the lure of illicit goods.
But sometimes the risk doesn't seem to match the reward. One man in Orlando, Fla., is finding this out the hard way after being arrested and facing two felony charges and a first-degree misdemeanor charge for allegedly smuggling something few of us would ever want.
He was busted on suspicion of smuggling cockroaches.
Besides the obvious first question -- Who the hell smuggles cockroaches? -- there's a second -- Who the hell smuggles cockroaches into Florida?
After all, the Sunshine State is already well-established as a mecca for the repulsive little crawlers, and it boasts one of the most diverse populations of cockroaches in the United States.
The reason remains a mystery, although it's suspected that he was importing them as food for pet lizards, since this particular type of cockroach is higher in protein than crickets and other bugs. Still, it's difficult to explain to your new cell mate that you're in the joint for a reptile dysfunction.

Wanted: Pet Dog. Must Be Friendly, Housebroken and Maintain a Complementary Color Palette
Some people just aren't dog people, and no matter what you try to say to convince them, they see our canine companions as little more than barking, slobbering, scratching nuisances that spend more time licking themselves than being useful. Like members of Congress, but with the saving grace of loyalty.
One of the most difficult animal-related jobs out there is working at a pound, where stray animals are collected and workers face the frustrating reality of too many unwanted animals and not enough people to adopt the abandoned. Finding a good home for a pet must feel like a real personal victory when the only other option is putting the animal down.
So it's pretty understandable that pound workers were dumbfounded when one woman returned her dog because it didn't match her curtains. Go ahead and read that one more time. She adopted -- and then returned a dog -- for the heinous crime of the dog's coat not quite being consistent with the color scheme in her house.
Shelter workers say they've had animals returned to them for other questionable reasons, such as the dogs not being cuddly enough or refusing to bark, but this case was shocking and infuriating to the workers. It's hoped the woman won't try to find another dog in a more appropriate shade, but if she does, we can all hope that the new pooch gets to discolor her carpet in a most unsavory way.
