Title: Re: "Can u kick it?" Post by: Xerapis on July 05, 2006, 04:13:51 AM That's some funny shit.
For some reason, it's funnier because the graffiti is pink. Not entirely sure why, but that little detail made me giggle. Am I weird? Title: Re: "Can u kick it?" Post by: Ironwood on July 05, 2006, 04:15:34 AM Yes.

And go to sleep. You're much too young to be staying up all night looking for useless news! Title: Re: "Can u kick it?" Post by: Xerapis on July 05, 2006, 04:24:58 AM Ummmm....
We have young people here? Can I have some? Title: Re: "Can u kick it?" Post by: Signe on July 05, 2006, 04:26:05 AM You'd be surprised. I like making them go to their rooms, too.
Title: Re: "Can u kick it?" Post by: Xerapis on July 05, 2006, 04:29:09 AM I was planning on making them wax my floors and re-organize some of the junk in my storage room, actually.
Oh, and clean out the bathroom drain. I really hate doing that. Title: Re: "Can u kick it?" Post by: Signe on July 05, 2006, 04:37:17 AM You are adorable.
Title: Re: "Can u kick it?" Post by: Xerapis on July 05, 2006, 04:46:36 AM Well, I used to have this cute little houseboy that would take care of these things.
But now I have a boyfriend again. Can't have a live-in boyfriend and a houseboy at the same time. Doesn't work. But on the same note, can't really make the boyfriend clean as often the houseboy. ~sigh~ Title: Re: "Can u kick it?" Post by: Ironwood on July 05, 2006, 05:55:40 AM What is this ? It's like Will and Grace without any of the charm.
So, it's exactly like Will & Grace. Title: Re: "Can u kick it?" Post by: Signe on July 05, 2006, 06:18:36 AM I am very charming, I'll have you know! Plonker. :x

Put a cinder block inside an empty case of beer and set it on the sidewalk. We'd all sit on the porch and watch people walk by and try to kick the empty case of beer. Good times had by all...

Quote BERLIN (Reuters) - Police in Berlin said on Wednesday they had arrested two men on suspicion of placing cement-filled soccer balls around the city and inviting people to kick them. At least two people injured themselves by kicking the balls, which were chained to lampposts and trees alongside the spray-painted message: "Can you kick it?" Police said they had identified a 26-year-old and a 29-year-old and had found a workshop in their apartment where they made the balls. The two are accused of causing serious physical injury, dangerous obstruction of traffic and causing injury through negligence, police said.
