I should use "got sold" in lieu of "bought," and see how that works. I got sold a car.

No, that'd be "I sold a car." "Got sold" means "it was sold to me," a.k.a. "bought." Though semantically, there's something sort of defensive about this use of "got sold." "I got sold fake weed" makes it sound like the buyer was duped. "I bought fake weed" makes the buyer sound like an idiot. The lesson here is that you probably shouldn't bother buying weed.

Just steal it from your dad.

It's there.

Look in the shoes.

My neighbor grew pot in his treehouse, which probably wasn't smart, because somebody ended up going in his backyard, climbing up the tree, and stealing all of it. I guess this was a pretty big deal, if you pardon the expression, because this guy's distributor (how many tiers are there in small-town teenage drug dealing, by the way? I'm not clear on how the system works, because I didn't want to ask my friend about it, as he probably suspected I would turn him in, based on the time we were at an Odyssey of the Mind tournament in Beloit two years prior and I remarked "that's not a bad way to make $50" when I saw a sign about turning in dealers) found out, got really pissed, and somehow worked to track this guy down using evaporated super glue to find fingerprints, if I recall.

The TSM chat really is the place to be:

 

[Carlito Brigante] 9:15 pm: so is Muhammad Hassan coming

[Hoff] 9:15 pm: yep

[Carlito Brigante] 9:15 pm: i didnt see the promo for it

[Hoff] 9:16 pm: it was awesome

[Carlito Brigante] 9:16 pm: how did they announce it?

[Hoff] 9:16 pm: a plane flew into Titan Towers

[Hoff] 9:16 pm: and the music hit

We've gone three weeks without an installment of Danny Maff's Nitro Party. I think next week should be the grand reopening. Let's get as many people back as we can, and we'll talk about stupid shit and then sexually harass young girls. Good times, good times.

I have finals this week. Next week should be the grand re-opening.

Things have been a little slow around here lately, so I've been working on some thread ideas to spice things up a little. Okay, check this one out: A thread dedicated to the best ever TSM threads from the month of October. I'd call it "The Hunt for Thread October." We could list our favorites, discuss various long-forgotten posters, and so on. Then we could come up with puns for other months and that's like 12 new threads right there. What do you think?

See, had I known you were going to say that, I'd have told you the password for The Amazing Rondo.

Not anymore! I'm changing it before someone locks me out.

I'd prefer "I'm board, da ba de da ba di."

Would "Threading the Needle" be about knitting, or would it be about documenting needle use in a thread? Could it be both at once?

You sold me out up there in Music, you sonofabitch.

"The Incredible Threadable Egg" has been a rousing success. Sadly, "The Hunt For Thread October" can never be. It's harder than I thought it would be to search for threads started in specific months.

I know most of you here probably missed so I advise all of you guys to check out the now closed "Chris Masters Has Died" thread in the General Wrestling folder. JN News at his finest- being played like a damn fool by his MSN contact.
