The daily digest of Twin Cities culture | Secrets of the City

1. You *may* invite people up? What type of screening process is there?

2. Remember a couple of months ago when Free Tibet flags were being manufactured in China?

3. If I buy fabric and whatnot while in Canada during an upcoming trip and then make the flags in my hotel room and then bring them back to MN and sell them is that illegal? I need arts and crafts to do while watching focus groups, dammit!

or better yet, THE PATRIOTISM POLICE!

I don't have a model train yet ):
it's one of those things that will have to wait until I get a better job that pays more than a subsistance wage.

not that I intend to, I just want to know hypothetically

he gave it to me for ... a playstation?
oh dear, I messed up ...

Speaking of that, how come my check hasn't come yet? I voted for the guy twice, I want my check NOW.

man, kevs, I got my direct deposit stimulus injection and spent it like two months ago already. I definitely didn't vote for him.

maybe you should think long and hard about that.

no, you're supposed to know how to hide your money in tax shelters in the cayman islands or zurich so you don't pay taxes on it at all.

oops, I meant;

The Rich Guy's Handbook: From Tax Fraud to Yachting

Opportunity begins with good spelling.

You may not be able to get the retroactive priveleges, but you might be able to swing some of the other ones.

Rich people are just like everyone else, except with more money and power and happiness. I think their cars are better too.

actually, I think they're found to be LESS happy on average once they pass a certain threshold of rich.

but I know those things are open to me, except I'd have to work much much harder than most of these snotty assholes born into it. and someone in a poor villiage in africa would have to work like a zillion times harder than me. but this is america, so let's forget about those guys.

I don't know if I had a point here.

DouglasG, apparently the IRS is at least 8 weeks behind schedule on stimulus check payments so I would ignore what you read on their website.

Also, all the rich people I know smell like chocolate chip cookies. Except the asshole ones who smell like baby powder. And the evilest ones who smell like fresh ink (because they roll around in money 24/7).

Our stimulus check just went right back to the IRS since we owe a chunk this year. So we stimulated the IRS.

BT (without Lee, but with a business partner) is buying the Taste Of Minnesota. I wonder if this means the end of Vic Tedesco's musical career...

I have already resigned myself from never receiving my stimulus package. They have been spending money willy-nilly sending people these mostly worthless notices that I fear they won't have any money left for those of with ill chosen SSNs.
