Re: Thread for admitting something silly you didn't know about until you were an adult - 5 years ago

I was so dumb I used to think that a Manilla folder was a Filipino contortionist. And that an innuendo was some form of Italian Preparation H.... (badum, bum!) Thank you very much. I'll be here at the Phorum all week, ....tell your friends.

Re: Photographer sues Getty Images for selling photos she donated to public - 5 years ago

So Getty was selling licenses to product they did not own and nobody thought it was strange that there was no payout to the image owner? I'm curious how much Getty and others took in and kept.

Re: Anyone own/owned an RV? Tinkering with the idea - 5 years ago

I sold RV's for 4 years. Big black hole to throw money into based on the use you will get out of it. Most get around 8-10mpg, class C maybe a little better. Unless you are planning to use it full time, treat the value of this purchase as you would a time share condo. Definitely NOT an investment that will appreciate. If you buy new, it's a good deal for the dealership and the salesperson, the

I do NOT need to know who's doing who and with what toy or species. I DO however need to know that there is a Klingon ship uncloaking off the port bow and their weapons are powered up.
