  1. I'd imagine they would if it was the police who booted the car, but at least here in Cayman, boots are sometimes put on at the airport by the security people there, and likewise I've seen them used in private parking lots at commercial buildings. In those instances, I'm pretty sure they don't record anything because they're not giving tickets like the police would do. You just have to find your way to the administrative office on the premises, and once you make your payment, they radio the security guy to come and unlock the boot.
  2. This just gives me goosebumps...
  3. Interesting! I noticed those same pictures posted on Facebook the other day, and several people in the thread were saying that they were Photoshopped because the boot shown in the pics actually covers the lugnuts.
  4. FInally, a perfect club for those difficult lies in the rough. http://images.hammacher.com/PopWindows/Default.aspx?uq=z79148&rnd=1288022005886
  5. Why am I not not surprised that you would know that?!?! You're the first person I'll call if I ever get my wheel clamped!
  6. Just missing one last picture. He would be my hero if he then put the locked wheel in his trunk and drove off. There's got to be a way to cut that thing off without causing damage to the wheel. Might lose the tire, but not the wheel.
  7. Well, at least you're not 23 anymore. Not so sure about Guru.
  8. I take it that I'm your second best friend then. Still not bad.
  9. Priceless! I missed it as well. Thanks for the pic.
  10. Glad you weren't offended, Fitz.
  11. German engineering...
  12. Got the Christmas tree lighting gig this year at Camana Bay, which is an awesome event which draws thousands of people. Seems kind of lame in this video, but it's really a nice event. Of course, the Santa they had last year wasn't the real deal... (Santa's job is to plug in the Christmas tree, which they don't show, but no biggie). They also do a boat show called the "Parade of Light" in the adjoining canal with dozens of boats all lit up in creative Christmas ways. I'll be participating in that event as well, as I did last year, arriving in the last boat.
  13. Mind? I'm honored, my friend. Your's was a brilliant and well supported response, diced with a sweet dose of STFU-ery.
  14. This guy is just so full of crap. http://www.head-fi.org/t/613092/hd650-piggybacked-on-the-hd800-possibly-best-headphone-sound-ever-i-say-yes It's funny, because not only is he annoying like our old friend Gurushanker, he actually looks like him.
  15. Brilliant idea...
  16. Great news, indeed!
  17. Yes, well expressed, Al. He was a convincing character. 95 is wonderful age that far too few people ever have the opportunity to experience.
  18. They came forward with it and reported it and took the fall, rather than hiding back in the shadows like all of the rest of the banks are doing so that their bad acts will get buried in the mix of news of wrongdoings of others. "More than a dozen other banks are also being probed as part of the rate rigging investigation and many are expected to be fined, but for now Barclays is standing alone in the centre of the latest storm over standards in investment banking." http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2012/07/06/barclays-first-mover-disadvantage/
  19. Nice, Stretch... although I still contend that despite the pounding they're taking now, they did the right thing and will be rewarded in the end. I spent 5 years at Barclays Private Bank, and must say they are very conservative.
  20. Except it looks like they've been there for quite a while and would not be very useful, like when you find rubber bands that have been in a drawer for 10 years. Here's the website for the restaurant: http://www.pda.or.th/restaurant/restaurant.html
  21. My niece and her fiance were there recently. Last, but by no means least...
  22. Happy Crappy!
  23. ^ Just when you starting to look like you've made it into your 20s you've got to leave them behind! Reminds me of Neil Young's "Sugar Mountain"... "you can't be 20 on Sugar Mountain, though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon."
