Is College Worth It?

College in AmericaSource: Online Colleges and Universities


Anonymous, I figured you would enjoy those last two facts. Kind of a ball breaker for women.

Oh, and a belated Happy Birthday to EV.

  1. CBT - I'd say the same thing about your tall tales.

    ReplyDelete
  2. That's funny.

    CBT's "tales" are inspiring though EV, what are you talking about?

    ReplyDelete
  3. EV,

    These competitions during All Star weekend can be tough to watch.

    ReplyDelete
  4. more women have bachelors degrees but earn less? i have said it before and i will say it again, its a mans world.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Yeah man, like I wrote, I figured you'd get a kick out of that.

    ReplyDelete
  6. It's not just less either, it's $9,000 less.

  7. The dunk contest should be good...if it's not scripted again.

    That first HORSE shot was gay.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I'm just looking forward to the 3 point contest. Oops, here we go again. CBT isn't going to like this.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Oh, I left out the best part. They all gave me their moms phone numbers, so their moms are coming over tomorrow and I'll bang them too.

    ReplyDelete
  10. 'The ones I haven't already banged, of course."

    ReplyDelete
  11. And I found a different video of that luge crash, being the other one was taken down. This one is much better.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I would never fuck their mommas, Spurs.

    Ev, at least I'm not an unemployed construction worker in an area with a glut of existing housing.

    I don't tell tall tales, hell, I tone it down because if I told everything y'all really would think I was lyin'.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I know you've learned your lesson about not fucking your girls moms.

    Or not banging the mom first and then banging their daughters.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Off the subject, I have begun to speculate that Wal Mart gives prospective employees IQ tests prior to hiring. If the prospective employee scores over 72, they are ineligible for employment, much like construction workers.

    I did learn that lesson the hard way.

  16. Did you just get back from Wal Mart or what?

    Did you just get back from Wal Mart or what?"

    I spent part of the morning there, then I had to go drink to calm the fuck down.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Spurs, I'm in a mood after trying to deal with the idiots at the Wal Mart service desk. Jesus H. Christ, what fucking idiots.

    ReplyDelete
  20. The "good one" was in response to the blog administrator one.

    "I spent part of the morning there, then I had to go drink to calm the fuck down."

    So you hit up the bar after going to Wal Mart?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Next time you go there, just get baked before you do.

    ReplyDelete
  22. CBT, we already think you're lying.

    And I'm not unemployed, thats the third time you've used that lame line. Maybe thats because it's the only thing you think you have on me?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Yes, I did. I'm worn out. All I wanted to do was send my youngest daughter's mother some milk and diaper money and they couldn't even get that right. I had to go back twice because the stupid bitch at the desk entered the "recieve state" on the Moneygram wrong twice. AK and AL do not stand for Arkansas. This bitch was from Illinois and dumber than one of our local inbreds.

    ReplyDelete
  24. "EV said...

    CBT, we already think you're lying"

    You something kid? I truly don't give a flying fuck what y'all think.

    If you're not unemployed, I misread a couple of your comments. You still sweat for a living, though. That's a shame because you come across as smarter than that.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Sounds like you had a fun experience there CBT.

    ReplyDelete
  26. "SPURS FAN said...

    I would've had a naked, hungry baby if I'd done that.

  27. I was making more money sitting on my ass in air conditioning before I took up an apprenticeship. It was far from a last resort, much like many aspects of your life.

    ReplyDelete
  28. You don't think you would have been able to send the money if you were high CBT?

    ReplyDelete
  29. "EV said...

    I've never done anything as a last resort, son.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Working in an office for my fathers' business. Personally, I can't stand desk work.

    ReplyDelete
  31. "SPURS FAN said...
    You don't think you would have been able to send the money if you were high CBT?"

    I wouldn't have been able to deal with the fuck ups as well, maybe with a little more patience.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Yeah, I'm always more patient when I'm high.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I just saw a funny commercial from McDonald's. It was about their chicken mcnuggets, and how it's the "food of the Olympians."

    Like athletes eat that shit.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Thats kind of like Michelin claiming they're the #1 tire of Winter. I guess Winter can now be bought.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I'm torn betweencrashing out and going back to drink more. Crashing out is the front runner.

    ReplyDelete
  36. If I had some weed there wouldn't even be a question.

    ReplyDelete
  37. What kind of weed you getting out there, CBT?

    ReplyDelete
  38. "Crashing out?"

    This early?

    And you are out of weed already?

    ReplyDelete
  39. "EV said...

    What kind of weed you getting out there, CBT?"

    Homegrown skunk bud that some guys I know grew down along the White River. Seedless, green and sticky, smells like a skunk pissed on a cedar tree. I may try my hand at it this spring.

    ReplyDelete
  40. What do you mean? You going to try to grow your own?

    ReplyDelete
  41. Yeah, this early. I was up at 6, went over and got my dad and we wormed and vaccinated 30 calves. Then I went to the station to catch up on some paperwork, Tiff called needing money and it took me an hour and a half and two trips to Hell Mart to do something that should've taken one trip and six minutes. I went to the Arena and had a chicken sandwich and eight beers.

    Yeah Spurs, I been smoking way too much weed the last couple of months. Stress reduction.

    ReplyDelete
  42. "SPURS FAN said...
    What do you mean? You going to try to grow your own?"

    I did for years. Back when I was married I grew a couple of plants in the spare bedroom. It was always better than anything I could buy and more dependable. Just go pick a few buds, bake them in the oven for five minutes and stuff them in the corn cob pipe.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I can see why you'd be tired CBT.

    And it seems you have been smoking a lot of weed. I know you thought that last batch would last you for a month or two.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I've thought about trying to grow some weed.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I thought that it would last me longer, too.

    The first weed I grew was back before I left for college, summer of '76. I just tossed some seeds out along the creek and left them alone. It was good stuff, but seedy because I didn't know not to let it get pollenated. I had 14 plants, the deer ate 12 and I ended up with a couple of pounds outta 2 plants.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I imagine those deer felt great after eating the plants.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I've got to get up early tomorrow and worm and vaccinate another 20 or so calves, then go haul up some wood for my folks. I really need to rebuild at least two water gaps, but I think that'll have to wait til next weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  48. How long does it take to worm and vaccinate a calf?

    ReplyDelete
  49. "SPURS FAN said...

    I imagine those deer felt great after eating the plants."

    They love that stuff. They get more of the locally grown shit than the cops do. A frind of mine that grew for a living for years said the deer ate at least a quarter of his crop every year.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I imagine your friend wanted to hunt some deer.

    ReplyDelete
  51. "SPURS FAN said...
    How long does it take to worm and vaccinate a calf?"

    Depends on how fiesty the calf is. Vaccinating them is just two shots. You run them through a chute, slam a head gate on them to hold them, give them two shots and stick a wormer down their throat. That's the hard part. The wormer is a foot and a half long, has a plunger like a syringe. Instead of a needle on the business end there a short tube that put a big ass pill in. You shove the thing down the calf's throat, push the plunger to drop the pill. Half the time the little fuckers cough it up and you have to do it again.

    ReplyDelete
  52. "SPURS FAN said...
    I imagine your friend wanted to hunt some deer."

    He said he just planned on it at planting time. A quarter for deer, a quarter for the cops to find, the other half to sell.

    ReplyDelete
  53. That doesn't sound fun with the calves.

    And as far as your friend? Did he plant it in different places?

    ReplyDelete
  54. Yeah, small plots out in the Ozark national forest. I know way more about that business than I'll ever admit. You gow it in 8 to 10 plant plots, it's harder to find that way and when they do find a plot, you don't lose your whole crop. Some of the old boys out there booby trap their plots, too. My buddy never did.

    ReplyDelete
  55. "Some of the old boys out there booby trap their plots, too."

    That's awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  56. As as fun with the calves, it ain't no fun for them either. This next batch is gonna be a pain in the ass because we let them get to big. Vaccinating and wormed needs to be done around 3 to 4 months old the first time. I've got some that almost a year old to do and they weigh around 1000 pounds.

    We've got to do the whole herd before the first of April, grown cows and all. I dread that. A 1200 pound pissed off cow ain't exactly easy to handle. Just ask DG's last boyfriend.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Nice drop of DG in there CBT.

    How much longer do you plan on screwing with these cattle? I mean, have you ever thought about selling them all off?

    ReplyDelete
  58. There aren't many folks growing weed up here anymore like they did in the 70s and 80s. Meth took over. Used to be almost all of what got grown here got sold to the Chicago bent noses. Now most is sold locally. The few growers left all work for the sheriff, now, like the old moonshiners did back in the 60s.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I guess I'll keep raising them until my old man gets tired of it. We own the herd together. That's how he bribed me to move back here. We've had about 70 calves this year. when they're 10 to 11 months or so old they're worth $1200 to $1500 apiece. We've got 77 grown cows and a 2200 pound Charlaois bull. The grown cows are worth a grand or so apiece and the bull's registered so he'd bring $4 to $5k. We spend about $20,000 a year on feed. We'll sell maybe 50 steers off, some of the older cows, maybe 10 this year. That's $70k minus expenses, net around $50K.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Other than in the spring they don't really require a lot of work. We'll feed hay mabye til April and that's not a lot of work.

    ReplyDelete
  61. That's not bad. But getting out in the cold and screwing with them can't be all that fun.

    ReplyDelete
  62. SPURS FAN said...
    That's pretty good money CBT.

    I'll make $25K this year off of them, no great money. Considering I live in a free house, drive a station vehicle, eat on advertising trade out, ain't no bad life. I don't want by boss to know I bought that Tacoma because he'll squirrel on a new station vehicle. I gave $6800 for the Tacoma and I've got a guy offerring me $8500 for it, so if the boss does right, I turned $1700. I'm gonna buy a couple of saddle horses this spring. You can get a 4 year old, broke to ride quarter horse around here for $300 or so. There's so damned many of them in this country they're like cats, damn near free.

    ReplyDelete
  63. You got a good deal on that Tacoma.

    And having a few horses would be fun. My boss runs a shelter for horses on a shitload of land she has. I think she has 14 horses currently.

    ReplyDelete
  64. "SPURS FAN said...
    That's not bad. But getting out in the cold and screwing with them can't be all that fun."

    The old man does most of the day to dat upkeep on the cattle because he likes it. I usually only fuck with them for major shit like worming. The cold doesn't bother me much. Thermal underwear and insulated coveralls handle that. Actually I was sweating today and it was like 28 this morning.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Horses are fun. I want a couple just to ride. More than two and feeding them gets prohibitively expensive.

    ReplyDelete
  66. $6800 was between average and clean Black book. 2002 with just under 60k miles on it.

    ReplyDelete
  67. They are fun to ride. And yes, she spends a lot of money feeding them.

    ReplyDelete
  68. The contract I had in Tupelo guaranteed me $30,000 for three months, a hotel room and demo. I sold my 02 Maxima for $5500, paid off the $1800 I owed on it and stuck the rest back. I made a little over $50k at the radio gig last year.

    I get tickled at the AZ folks talking about money. I'm far from rich, but when you look at what I make versus what I have to pay out, I'm doing okay. Even my drycleaning is on trade out. My monthly expenses are less than $300. That's my phone, internet, satellite dish and electricity. I've got a propane tank that costs me about $300 a year. My sister and I already own the farm in trust for my parents. My half of that is worth around three quarters of a million.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I sold a lot of the Tacomas back in the day.

    ReplyDelete
  70. What was the contract in Tupelo? Is that when you were doing sales training?

    And yeah, it seems like your yearly expenses are pretty damn low.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Yeah. I contracted out to Carlock Toyota for three months to set up a BDC and an Internet department. One of my buddies had gotten the GM spot there and was trying to get me to work for him. I told I didn't know if I'd like Tupelo or if I was ready to stay in one place, so I'd do it for three months under contract to AES (Automotive Education Solutions, my company, sounds high toned, but it was just me and a cell phone) and if I liked Tupelo, I go to work for him when the contract was up. Well, I liked Tupelo so I gave up the house I was renting in North Little Rock, and moved all the worldly possessions my ex-wife didn't skin me for in the divorce to a storage room in Tupelo at the end of September of 2008 (my contract ran August, September and October). He'd worked me out a hell of a pay plan, so I was pretty happy. Then during the third week of October, things went to shit faster than I've ever seen before.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Indeed, he did work you out a hell of a pay plan. Getting guaranteed money isn't easy.

    It's too bad it went all to shit.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Toyota was building a plant in Blue Springs, MS, about 12 miles from Tupelo. When the car business tanked they decided to let the plant set idle for a couple of years. They'd been going to hire about 1200 people from the area to work there so that pissed off all of Lee County. The few people in Tupelo that were buying cars sure as shit weren't buying Toyotas. On top of that, Toyota had strongarmed the Carlocks into building a 7 Million dollar green facility that was gonna be Toyota's showplace dealership in GST and had used my buddy to help them. On Top of those things, my buddy had brought this ghetto ass black dude from Little Rock to be the GSM and he got into it with one of the salespeople, pulled gun on the kid, drove him 40 miles out to the middle of nowhere, put a bullet through the kid's cell phone and left him there. Turns out the kid's daddy was a bigshot in the local chapter of the "Knights of the Confederacy" (read KKK). I was completely innocent except for the lawyer's wife I was fucking. We all ended up fleeing Tupelo with the peasantry chasing us with pitchforks and torches. I loaded all my clothes up in one of Carlocks used Tacomas and got one of the salesmen to drive the 400 miles or so up here and dump me off at Teresa's place. After that didn't work out I went over the hill to folks place, told the people who'd been renting my grandmother's old house thet had to move out, moved in there, got the radio gig and the rest you know.

    It's too bad it went all to shit."

    Once the contract was up I was gonna get 5% of the dealership' front end gross (sales and Finance) which had been running $175k to $250k a month, no guarentee, but still good money.

    ReplyDelete
  75. So you were fucking some lawyer's wife? Good one.

    We have a Toyota plant here in S.A. I know for awhile they quit producing vehicles, but I think they have started again.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Yes, I'd say 8500 to 12500 a month is good.

    ReplyDelete
  77. The SA plant was built to produce the Tundra.

    My buddy was raping the Carlocks for between $20k and $25k a month. He'd watered up in the used car inventory to inflate the gross and hide wholesale losses, at least 2k a unit. he had two girlfriends riding arond in new inventory with dealer tags. He'd turned the old parts warehouse into the "Mancave", basically our own private bar and whorehouse, using the Carlocks money to renovate and furnish it. There were 4 bedrooms, each with it's own bathroom, a fully stocked bar, a 70 something inch TV, a hot tub, two pool tables. The little fucker (my buddy is Vietnamese, with my accent) even put in hardwood floors.

    ReplyDelete
  87. ok...im gonna go trim my pubes. wish me luck!

    ReplyDelete
  88. Sure am. I take it you just smoked?

    ReplyDelete
  89. About to. I haven't been feeling very good all day. Something I ate yesterday when I went out for dinner gave me some stomach pains. Finished a late run and showered, now it's bowl time.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Any reason you stopped smoking, or did you just want to?

    ReplyDelete
  91. EV i stopped smoking weed because my asthma was getting worse

    ReplyDelete
  92. Just did. I'm sure I'm going to start smoking again soon.

    ReplyDelete
  93. No I want one really bad but they are expensive arent they ?
    I love being high

    I talk less and move around less

    ReplyDelete
  94. You have a vaporizer, don't you EV?

    ReplyDelete
  95. Not really, around 60-100 for a decent one. Then again, some people think anything more than 20 is too much for a smoking device.

    ReplyDelete
  96. I made a big scene at work today spurs, You know how I got the security guard fired, well they all turned on me, and out of no where two real cops showed up. Keep in mind, my job is like the Bel air of washington, the city and the location, no crime usually its like no fear other then security guards. So then with two real cops and two real guns I freaked out and called the new security officer, and he told me the cops were there to pick up there wives. .LOL

    ReplyDelete
  97. No I would totally buy a smoking device if I had evidence my ashtma didnt act up with it

    ReplyDelete
  98. I don't, no. Too much hassle. I usually smoke out of a small pipe, papers or a blunt. I also have a pretty nice RooR bong for "special" occasions.

    ReplyDelete
  99. You think you'll ever get a vaporier EV?

    ReplyDelete
  100. I remember the first time I Got high like it was yesterday. I smoked out of a water bottle, because when your 16 in North Carolina, there is just less ways to get what you need. Then I got the cat all fucked up, and I never loved a cat more then that random grey cat.

    The last time I smoked it was out of a boys pipe, I use the girl thing to my advantage. It was like a month ago

    I am such a prude gosh

    ReplyDelete
  101. I had to make a scene, I dont like real cops with real guns near me
    its scary

    ReplyDelete
  102. That was nice of you to get the cat high Pam.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Probably not. Smoking through one of those isn't much better than smoking through a good bong. It's too much hassle for a quick bowl and doesn't get me as high as a bong does. That bong really fucks people up, which is why it's reserved for special occasions.

    ReplyDelete
  104. You know Spurs, I am mad my stupid fucking facebook is up on that website right now, over night, and they dont change it that much on the weekends this is really pissing me off, I am ruining my chances at having sex with anyone after I told them I was single, which I am but now its just not single

    I am mad.

    ReplyDelete
  105. You ever smoke out of a gravity bong EV?

    ReplyDelete
  106. What do you like to use to your advantage?

    ReplyDelete
  107. You aren't mad Pam. You like the attention.

    ReplyDelete
  108. Ev, I had a bad experiance smoking last year me and marvin went to this guys house, and he laced it with some shit and didn't tell us, and then he knocked me out with a fan he hit me with it on my head, marvin watched, but neither of us could move. It sucked. What the hell is wrong with me, I have the weirdest stuff happen, I was just trying to get high.

    ReplyDelete
  109. I smoked out of a homemade one when I was like 15. Other than that, no.

    ReplyDelete
  110. EV:

    Yeah, it's been awhile since I've hit off a gravity bong, but they get you so high.

    ReplyDelete
  111. He knocked me out because he was a psycho, I would say to rape me but once again I am just not that happening when marvin is next to me, he wanted marvin. It was a guy I went to highschool wuith and he was visiting here, he was always a weirdo. He talked about killing people the whole three hours I was paralyzed. Some one told me I probably had cat tranqulizer or something in it

    ReplyDelete
  112. That question was to Pam.

    I've gotten a hold of some laced shit once. It was only one nugget out of the bag but the effects were there. I recall my vision timing slowing down drastically and I couldn't feel anything for 15 minutes. I knew shit was fucked up when I white walled a bong and hardly any smoke came out when I exhaled.

    ReplyDelete
  113. So he wanted to bang Marvin?

    That's nice.

    ReplyDelete
  114. I like to use my female hood to my advantage for free weed lol

    ReplyDelete
  115. The stuff I had was laced with PCP, too. Only that one bowl. After that crazy shit happened I went back and asked them what the hell it was.

    ReplyDelete
  116. They told you it was laced with PCP EV?

    ReplyDelete
  117. Yeah I just went insane, I had a bad night that night and was mad they would dump me on my door step

    ReplyDelete
  118. Yep

    At least I wasn't a huge chick and they just pushed me into the side walk

    I am assuming I was carried or something you know If I was big I would have just stayed put actually

    I need to wear weights on my legs so I have a better chance of not moving if I get pcp'd again

    ReplyDelete
  119. Yeah, wear some weights. Just put about a hundred pounds on each leg.

    ReplyDelete
  120. They told me they were selling regular stuff and laced stuff, and from what I described they said it sounded like one of the laced nuggets fell into the regular stash.

    ReplyDelete
  121. I just know I tripped my ass off for about 15 minutes.

    You ever try that salvia stuff?

    ReplyDelete
  122. That's probably what happened if it was only one bud.

    ReplyDelete
  123. It's like this legal tea leaf looking shit you can buy at smoke shops. It's kind of lame but crazy at the same time. Depending on the strength, you have a crazy high for 3-5 minutes.

    I've tried that stuff a few times. The first time was intense, I ended up on the other side of a big room sweating profusely and no recollection on how I got there. Second time was really mild. Third time I laughed uncontrollably for 3 solid minutes and it was over.

    ReplyDelete
  124. I've seen some people take hits of powerful stuff, it makes you completely oblivious to everything.

    ReplyDelete
  125. Spurs check it out on Youtube some people trying that I liken it to someone choking you out , haha not something I'd want to do volutarily. One video I saw was a guy trying to drive his car in the driveway.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Q:

    What's going on? Yeah, I found this site:

    http://www.random-good-stuff.com/2008/01/24/smoking-salvia-divinorum/

    ReplyDelete
  127. Theres a big difference between 10x stuff and 60x.

    ReplyDelete
  128. Spurs not much goin on,

    On Salvia It looks way too powerful from the stuff that I've seen and I can smoke hash and whatever with the best of em, but that looks like too much.

    ReplyDelete
  129. Yeah Q, I just watched a video of some chick laughing her ass of continously after smoking that.

    ReplyDelete
  130. It's not bad. A Salvia high literally clicks on and then back off like a switch. One hit of what they usually sell in most smoke shops will generally make you laugh, maybe ramble a couple things that don't make sense and in 3 minutes is done.

    ReplyDelete

  134. Shrooms are a hell of a lot better than Coke...

    Spurs - Same here, haven't done them in them in while. My buddy started growing them right before it got cold. Can't really grow them in cold weather unless you keep them at a certain temperature.
