TROPHY CASE

Fellow redditor here stopping by Phoenix for comedy by blartsonin phoenix

Just remember it's a DRY comedy!

Anyone in Glendale/Peoria meet up? by bigtuuunain phoenix

[–]frakus007 0 points1 point ago

Anyone up for a Haus Murphy's meat and greet this weekend?

It'll have all the ingredients for a good time!

Beer, German food, me and maybe others, beer, music (if we're lucky)

*59th and Glendale

Going to be at 83rd Ave and I-10 for about 4 weeks. How's the area? by Detached09in phoenix

[–]frakus007 0 points1 point ago

If you speak'a spanish, you'll do fine. You'll be in a highly Mexican and Hispanic community. The people are nice, but there is some gang activity that can ruin anyone's night. I recommend taking the bus east to central phoenix area. Explore, eat food, drink coffee, enjoy the Art scene (5th st. and Roosevelt area) on weekends. Then venture to Tempe on the lightrail, explore Mill (that is if you don't mind the ever present College Douche lurking about) You'll have fun... but drinks lots of water and wear sun screen!

Records: ITT shooting suspect on probation in New Mexico by headfullofuselessnesin phoenix

Yeah I know, right? Why would anyone go to ITT Tech? It's just a diploma mill! What a moron indeed!

What was the biggest lie of your generation? by fireball_73in AskReddit

[–]frakus007 0 points1 point ago

Well in this case, you may be right.

The Snopes article states that you can overdose from large doses of Vitamin A by eating carrots. This is not true. Beta-Carotene is not vitamin A. Beta-carotene is a precursor of vitamin A. It needs Vitamin D to be turned into Vitamin A, as needed. Nonetheless, it is possible to take too much Vitamin A, but you would have to eat the liver from Arctic critters (yes, yes.. not only Arctic critters).

At first I thought this was a setup to a joke. I was expecting to click on it and have it only say...

"It's Hot!"

To the Quizno's guy who let me out of paying for my meal... by GlittermekaiNin phoenix

[–]frakus007 2 points3 points ago

I think that Chipolte has a policy where they won't through the food away when a customer's card declines or is unable to pay for some reason. They just give the customer the food and ask to pay next time I think. Maybe Quizno's has a similar policy and just don't advertise it so people won't abuse it.

2 folks looking for a room in Phx by soundtrainin phoenix

[–]frakus007 0 points1 point ago

it doesn't look too bad. It is around Spectrum mall. Bethany and 19th ave (more specifically, probably around Missouri and 22Nd ave.) That is my best guess since I live there too. I live at 24th and Bethany, which is the same neighborhood. Harkins theatres is there as well as easy access to great fish and chips. Sprouts is about 2 miles away on 19th and Northern. I enjoy the area

Found this at my hotel. What planet should I dial? by dj_siekin pics

If I knew our gate address I would tell you so you can lock it out of your dialing computer.

If scientists from the future found skeletons of different kinds of dogs, would they classify them as different species? by Kermit_Porkinsin askscience

[–]frakus007 3 points4 points ago

I was always under the impression that a species is defined on whether or not its offspring can procreate with each other. In the case of a horse and donkey, they can mate and produce a sterile mule. In the case of tigers and lions, their offspring can reproduce with another tiger or lion, but not with another liger. I forgot where I read this, perhaps my in my BIO class. Basically, if the offspring can't reproduce with another of its kind, then the original parents are different species. Anyone care to clarify?

What are some acronyms that you misread after all this time? by nisenoin AskReddit

[–]frakus007 1 point2 points ago

I always thought the acronym SCA meant "Society for Creative Acronyms" I must have misheard someone say "anachronism". I always thought it was a horribly ironic name. Edit*** yes, yes, initialism..

Any engineers/computer enthusiasts wanting to win some scholarship money? by Thorasin ASU

[–]frakus007 1 point2 points ago

what is required? Do we have to supply our own parts? How much time is it gonna take? I am taking 6 classes and work 40+ hours a week. I barely have time to pick my nose (I always find a way though). I might be able to squeeze in a few days of testing. What are you looking for in a teammate?

It has begun by HazyCarin ASU

[–]frakus007 1 point2 points ago

is there a meme that mocks using crappy memes? perhaps something with Xzibit, a cat, the "it's aliens" guy, and Inception.

I don't always do memes, but when I do, I am usually disappoint.

TIL that Ian McKellen, when asked by a proponent of an anti-gay rights bill to give an autograph to his children, McKellen obliged, but instead wrote "Fuck off, I'm gay." by QuantumBearin todayilearned

[–]frakus007 -7 points-6 points ago

You're are right, I doubt we would get along. I don't think I could speak slowly enough for you to understand anything that is going on. It would get annoying real quick.

[–]frakus007 -34 points-33 points ago

you're right, I didn't read it. The OP just linked to a Wikipedia article and I guess wants us to read the whole damn thing to find two sentences. Don't be mad bro, but I don't have time to read whole wiki articles.

[–]frakus007 -63 points-62 points ago

I dislike this guy more everyday. I am still a fan, but telling someone to fuck off in front of his children when they want an autograph is wrong. Sure the "proponent" is probably a dick too, but there is a time and place for that discussion. The other person probably doesn't have any power to change anything. I also don't like McKellen's history of tearing up pages of the Bible. It's not his book and I am not a fan of people destroying literature. If you don't like it, teach your side and write your own book. Maybe he can make a "corrected" version of the Bible and leave it next to the regular bible. Yes, I do expect downvotes. Yes, I do expect people to offer the counterpoint "The other person despises your lifestyle and wants to deny you your rights, and then wants an autograph for his crotch fruit!", or "He should have drawn a penis next to his autograph!", but I think the better way is to give the autograph and let the children be in amazement. When they find out the truth, it'll be that much better for McKellen.

Jan 30 - Last day to register to vote for the Presidential Primaries by az_liberal_geekin phoenix

[–]frakus007 0 points1 point ago

I do not think this is 100% accurate. Arizona has a semi-open primary. You must be registered as a Republican or Independent to vote in the Republican Primaries.

I don't know how to vote in the Primary if you don't have a Republican ballot or any info on where to go. You get this info from the GOP. If you are an Independent, you may have more work to do to get a ballot.

that being said, you should still register as Republican if you want a say on what flavor of turd-sandwich you want to have a chance to vote for later.

Anyone with a degree in CIS out there? by Zingusbeaubingusin phoenix

Is there anything I can answer or help you with.

Looks like I'll be buying EXTRA cookies this year! by SilikonBurnin atheism

[–]frakus007 1 point2 points ago

I may get downvoted for this, but I have a problem with any young girls group teaching about pro-choice/pro-life stances.

Teach the yutes about contraception/abstinance all you want. Teach them the facts... the How To's, the What Nots, etc... Here's an idea, teach them to always be prepared. Steal a page from the Boy Scouts.

If I had a daughter, I would want to teach them about abortions and the different choices that need to be made. That they can always come to me. I don't know what they would advocate in the Girl Scouts.

Teach irresponsibility, teach sex education, smash stereotypes of women, give them positive role-models and sell cookies

no teaching of abortions... leave that to the parents

now, if this article is just a giant troll and full of falsehoods... then fuck you
