Your faith in humanity.

A girl and her mom found $4000 in cash plus some rings and an ID card. They turned it into police.

QuoteJacobson says her daughter, who started third grade on Tuesday, never expected any reward for turning in the cash. "Her teacher told the class about it on the first day of school and the other students clapped," She says. "That was very nice for her." However, mom says that when a reporter recently pressed Abbie on what she would do with $4,000, she hesitated then gushed, "see a Justin Bieber concert." A few days ago, the forces of karma delivered: Abbie, her parents, and her older brother and sister learned they will be attending the sold-out show in Boston on November 10.

Sad that this kind of behaviour is now considered unusual enough that it requires reporting.

Maybe he will wear his Sons of Anarchy jacket again and get his ass kicked by both real bikers AND the Marines. Now that....that I would pay to see.

I'd give the guy a pass. He's Canadian. Perhaps our esteemed northern friends can shed light on the founding of the Canadian Marines. All I found was a Canadian Commando Regiment founded in 2006 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_Commando_Regiment

After Beiber wore a Sons jacket on TV and in a couple of appearances, there was a story that his doing so had angered real Angels and that he was threatened. To my knowledge it was never confirmed but one can only hope it's true.

why does JH know the kids concert schedule?
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

There is no Marine Corps in Canada.  There are no amphibious assault ships.  The Royal Canadian Navy has no infantry.  There are no overseas, littoral territories to protect.

What about all those ocean side Miami condos? Their Canadian owners need to know the Motherland cares for them too. Just a few off shore passes per week by a gunboat flying the Maple Leaf would go a long way...

Interesting. I just figured anyone with a Navy would have Marines. Clearly I was mistaken.

Canada has lumberjacks. They don't need Marines.

And with that, this thread is sufficiently derailed :)

I wish I had a choir of RCMPs would could follow me around and be my living soundtrack. That would just be epic.
