Can the Sergeant-at-Arms still carry a mace?
FYI, OC is different from Mace. One is oleresin capsicum, the other is liquified CS irritant agent. 
He means a stick with a knob on the end, ya doofus.[DOUBLEPOST=1390327558,1390327526][/DOUBLEPOST]
OC doesn't stand for Officer_Charon?FYI, OC is different from Mace. One is oleresin capsicum, the other is liquified CS irritant agent.
I _AM_ rather spicy...
No, no, a real mace. Like, this guy, the sergeant-at-arms, carries the thing:
It's his job to maintain order in the House, so you can imagine my disappointment when I learned he doesn't actually use the mace on disorderly conduct
I mean, what is that? He has a huge mace for smacking! Gently escorted away by the arm? Pff.
Holy shit, Cheesy... I'm in TEARS bro...[DOUBLEPOST=1390331130,1390331074][/DOUBLEPOST]
That would be a highly decorative glaive.
Too much froufala. If I'm gonna wear a coat, I want something with some slink.
Well, it isn't exactly what you were looking for, but it would be a suitably stylish way to outfit your minions.
And the best part of all is that you would have a default marching chant if you needed it...
What the hell kind of toys do you have?!?
He surfs on 4chan's /d/ board.
I lost my mother. Fucking. Phone. With all my pictures of my family on it.
Well, to be more precise, I accidently left it in a public restroom, forgot about it for a bit, then reached for it to text my wife, and had that sudden sinking feeling.
Those of you on my Facebook have following my odyssey with this incident. I was able to track it down using this CNet article, and found out that whatever thuglet had it wasn't too far off. But by the time that I pinged it a couple times to locate them as I got close, they turned it off.

Thankfully, AT&T have been super-helpful during this. I got an upgrade at a decent price, and am just awaiting spare funds to get my tank of a case again.
But still.... while I didn't have a HUGE amount of pictures that I can't replace on it, the ones that I can't get back irk me greatly. I hope the motherfucker who has it enjoys his new brick.

Dang, bad luck that you were too close for GPS but not close enough to hear the sonic scream. Sucks.

That really sucks.
For your new phone I suggest Dropbox, Google Photos or some other program that will automatically sync your photos. Using Dropbox has been invaluable to me, not only for the ease of getting photos to my desktop, but it also has made it a lot easier for me to keep track of my schoowork and writing, since I don't have to worry about where the latest version is, either on my desktop, netbook or phone.
If you do go with Dropbox, please let me (or some other Halforumite) send you a referral, since that earns bonus storage space for the referrer.
Sometimes I wake up and the meaninglessness void I feel crushes every bit of me; all I can see is that there's no good reason not to kill myself. It's agonising, and (surprise!) sad.
I know the feel bro. I know it all too well.
And one is delicious.FYI, OC is different from Mace. One is oleresin capsicum, the other is liquified CS irritant agent.

It would seem my parents could be on the Royal Caribbean cruise ship that has been in the news because there are 300 people sick with suspected norovirus. I am not sure because I only was given their departure date, return date, and a vague idea of what islands they were visiting. My cousin, however, seems to know more about my parents itinerary than I do! They don't volunteer the information and I think they are old enough that if they wanted to tell me more information they would. Obviously my not asking means they tell my cousin instead. Except their friends expect me to know and are asking me if I know whether or not it's their ship. My answer of "I have no idea" is embarrassing, makes me feel like I am a bad daughter, and makes the physical distance between us feel even farther. I am so upset right now that I think I could fly to the east coast by sheer will.

Not really about what you posted, but reminded me of something.
My grandmother and her mother once had a multi-yaer fued because of this line of reaoning:
G: "If she cared about me, she'd ask."
M: "If she wanted me to know, she's tell me."
etc. etc. etc. with the frustration and annoyance building to truly catastrophic levels.
It is ultimately what it boils down to. And I did confirm with my cousin that she was given the information by my mom. I just got an email from them. They were both sick, but are feeling better. The ship is headed home early as the news agencies are reporting.

How 2014 is going so far:
-Lost my funding for day care for Jet because of a MINOR drop in hours. This means I either quit my Job or withdraw Jet from daycare full time. Not a big deal..but they decided to tell me this after he had been in day care for the full month. This means I have a over 900.00 bill...and I make 800.00 a month.
-I am still constantly ill.
-My sister is mad at me because I am having a girl. She just had a beautiful baby boy in November...but she wanted a girl. Now she barely speaks with me and I refuse to apologize for THAT.
-I told work that if my hours were going down I'll have to insist on working weekends and one day during the week so Jet is always cared for. Now, I also reminded them that I was originally hired for full time work but they changed their minds after a government program allowed them to get another girl for just 2 bucks and hour for full time. They are now saying they're not sure I'll 'work out'.
-I had to stop taking my medication now that's it's getting to be later in my pregnancy.
-JewWario, a man I admired, killed himself.
-Steves grandfather, a sweet man who was clinging to life to see his first ever grand daughter, passed away.
I would like a fucking do over.
