you guys got off lucky. around this campus they'll just boot your car or tow it.

[shh!]

I guess ignorance of the rules is no excuse, but honestly! There were several other cars parked where I parked, and there was no sign indicated that parking wasn't allowed. Plus, school is out of session. It was like a ghost town there. I think we should write "jackass" in bright red marker across the tickets when we pay them.

Removing a boot is actually quite easy w/the correct tools. You can just cut it off. I've never been booted, but wouldn't that be great? Just leave the boot beside the road & drive away.

If there is no sign saying 'no parking' then you could argue the ticket, actually. You would need to take a photo of where you parked, I imagine & fax it & the ticket to the parking office.

I did this w/a ticket we got for parking in a paid lot. We actually PAID for a ticket, but the machine was so old we had no idea how much to pay & the ticket didn't have an expiration time (we were only there for a 1 hour class). I just sent a letter w/the ticket & explaining & we never heard from them again.

Too late for taking a photo... I didn't think of it, darn it! Oh, well. I haven't gotten a ticket in so many years, I suppose I was due. At least it wasn't a speeding ticket, which I definitely deserve.

I always carry a set of tools in the truck. I've been booted twice. I was going to steal the boot for shits and giggles, but that would be a bad idea since they probably get ahold of your license plate numbers.

I was in El Salvador last month and we went to a little resort by the beach where they had this monkey named "COMOTU" (not sure of the spelling), which translates to "likeyou" ..but the monkey's name is not the point. We were curious about the monkey and a friend extended her hand to try and touch the monkey. COMOTU extended her own hand and my other friend pulled my first friend's hand away, claiming that she should not touch COMOTU..but that's not the point either. In any case, my first friend "Teacher" (that's not her name, that's just her nickname) ...Teacher is the one with the hand..anyway, Teacher reached into her purse and found a mirror and being curious about the effects (as if she were a scientist rather than a teacher), she pulled the mirror out of her purse and showed it to COMOTU.

COMOTU lost it! She was screaming her head off, clearly angered...i guess monkeys don't like to be reminded of their physical features...

But that's not the point either.

The point is that monkeys sometimes like to poop on their hands and fling the poop at normal-everyday people who are not, nor look like monkeys.

So to all of you who want to take a trip to see monkeys...do not become the next innocent bystander turned victim of the fecal attack.

The one chick with the poop fetish boyfriend should take note of this.

I'm on a mini vacation with my family in Grand Haven Michigan right now. We went to the beach today and WOW, just wow. The girls here are absolutely stunning

Actually, even before that, when we were in East Lansing I just saw a ton of beautiful, beautiful girls. My sisters housemate I actually thought was blazing hot! The majority of people here are German / Dutch / Scandanavian, but in the right combinations to be super hot

The beach we went to was mainly college aged kids. I saw enough sexiness to feel like I was missing out. Actually, when I saw my sisters housemate and thought she was hot, and then found out she had a boyfriend and they left for the bars and then heard how they woke up my little sister staying on the couch in their drunken return I felt that way

That is why I feel like I shouldn't go to the beach anymore and sometimes feel like it is a good thing for people to be tame in public and not show much affection, because it makes me feel like I am missing out so much. Even though I see a lot of hot bodies it does more harm than good to my thoughts

My campus is like that. Constantly giving out tickets. One student got a ticket for jaywalking. Ugh. Bunch of greedy, money-grubbing jackasses. Not a parking violation goes unpunished, but every other day someone gets mugged or carjacked on campus. Boy, aren't campus police grand?

I got a ticket charged to my bursar, too, DM. 75 bucks for--get this--parking all of five minutes as I walked from the lot to the department of transportation with my old parking permit in hand to exchange it for a new one (which I paid $200 for). Apparently I was supposed to pay ten bucks to park on the complete opposite end of the campus and then walk to DOTs even though my spot was right beside it. **** that. I bitched and bitched and finally I bitched so much they actually dropped it.

If it makes you feel better, what you're describing here is very common for a guy your age. I remember when I was going to the beach as a young single lad and you see so many women and it seems like you're the only guy going home without one. I think all guys feel like that at some point.
