i kid you not - just when you think nothing here will surprise you -

as some of you might have already found out, the new 1000 w bills won't work in the storage locker machines at the subway stations; so apparently new ones are being brought in

i saw the new ones at hangsung station (num 4 line) the other day and went over to check them out - very high tech - and noticed paper flyers taped on them - don't know why better signs weren't available yet or what

but on one there were various pix with the line drawn thru it as in "don't put this in your locker" and i SWEAR there was a picture of a kid with a line drawn in it as in "DON'T PUT YOUR BABY IN THE STORAGE LOCKER"

f-----g hilarious!!! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

what kind of dildo head would do such a thing anyway????

oh my god!!!

yes, i'll try and get a photo but am going out of town tomorrow don't know if it'll still be there when i get back.

Wasn't this a big deal 4 or 5 years ago...at the big box stores where you can put a whole cart in a locker...people putting carts complete with (sleeping) children in the lockers?

The Indians in Northern Alberta were notorious for giving their kids a chewing tabacco lunch so they would get a fever, then check them into the free hospital, go play Bingo/get drunk/get stoned/ on the weekend, then pick up said child after they have shyt out it out on Sunday.

My folks once dropped my brother and I off at a Las Vegas daycare for the night, so they could go gambling. We were 5, and I still remember it. The place was packed with kids, with rows and rows of bunk beds and kids wailing for their parents.

In the past few days in Australia one baby has been thrown in a dumpster and another left on the steps of a church.

I never understand that; Here are your options:

a) sell your baby, that you don't want, for $50,000

b) give it up for adoption, anonymously

c) drop it off at any government office

d) throw it in a dumpster, commit a felony, do 25 years in jail, be scum of the earth, burn in hell for eternity.

"I'll take d!"

(Conclusive proof of Darwin's theory can be found in said example)

I saw a mother sitting her baby on the edge of her apartment balcony railing today... probably 10 floors up. Kid had its legs dangling over the edge. She was holding on to it, but still. Absolute morons.

When I was 2, my parents left me behind at the supermarket. I was still sitting on the checkout counter when they rushed back to find me, 30 minutes later.

When they told me about it, I asked them if the dope they were smoking was really that good in the 1970's Razz
