There are ways around everything...

HLF, in those classes where you use one or two chapters from a book, wait to buy it and find a bunch of people who are willing to split the cost and then just photocopy what you need. When you sell the book back, just have an agreement to split the money earned on the buyback.

My entire time in grad school, I was afforded the luxury of being able to check books out of the university library for an entire semester instead of just a month like everyone else (perk of being a grad student), so I checked out as many of mine and my girlfriend's (now wife) books as possible. Over the course of three semesters, we save over $500.

You should be made aware that Dayv has destroyed Mangler Bro HQ and supposedly built another in a secret location. As a result of his betrayal, I resigned from Mangler Bro Inc.


Hoo boy, the delusions are back. As Motti knows, you were never a full-blooded employee. You were a contract hitman. We opted to not re-up your contract. Our decision, not your's.

I love the part that says Broccoli didn't find Jackman masculine enough. This has to be the most asinine statement I've read. Given Jackman's cigar-chomping, lack-of-shaving, ass-whooping Wolverine (who got totally ripped for X2), and given Roger Moore & Pierce Brosnan's nancy-boy effections when playing Bond, Babs B. is clearly talking out of her ass.


Or it could just mean she's sick of the "nancy-boy effections" and wants someone a little grittier. Yes, Jackman has his Wolverine persona. But you have to balance that with his Kate & Leopold and Broadway personas which are starting to gain a bit more renown since he won his Tony Award.
