My cousin got pickpocketed while we were in Philadelphia this past weekend. Her purse was on the back of her chair at Starbucks and he just reached in and grabbed it. We spent all of Monday canceling credit cards and talking to the cops.
the USA has a 0.08 BAC level? or is that just NJ/NY?
It's actually 0.05 here, and in all honesty, anything higher really is asking for trouble. Although not knowing the drink/driving culture over there, it really is bad here and is needed, so I'm not sure how it will affect you lot.

Someone definitely got murdered around the corner from me in Rockaway today. 12 this afternoon I saw the cops and ambulance pull up to the house on my way to the gym before work. 13 hours later on my way home from work there are 6 county sheriff K-9 units, 4 detective cars and 2 vans either CSI or county morgue. The house is lit up and plenty of activity inside. Freakin insane man.
I have a friend who lives next door to the house and told me that the guy was drunk and smoking pot when the cops came and a woman (guessing his wife) died falling down the stairs. They also found a good amount a pot plants in his house. He's guessing he pushed her down the stairs. The guy apparently was the neighbor from hell form some of my friends horror stories.
So I invented a fly last night...I am kind of proud of this. I took two famous patterns from well know tyers and combined them into my own.
Here are the originals side by side.
And here is mine...
I think mine is prettier and all around better
I have no idea if fish will like it, but it certainly looks you put more care into the tying then the other two. It's more complete looking.
Jim you should wear a hat like Col. Blake from MASH and put all your ties on it. That could be your trademark around work.

BAC is state law.
But federal government sets the standard/recommends then coerces states by threatening federal highway funds.
How long does it take to tie those things Jim? Cause I dunno if I fish much but I could see myself enjoying making those.
I'm artsy that way
I disagree.
A BAL of 0.05 is going to be tough not to achieve for some people after just 2 small drinks/beers. It will definitely disproportionately hit women that's for sure.
EDIT: So I was curious. In the USA, the average male and female weight is 195 and 165* pounds respectively, according to Wikipedia, which as we all know is never incorrect.
If the average 195 pound male has just 2 pints in 1 hour at Happy Hour, he's at 0.04. If a 180 pound guy has those 2 pints, he's at 0.05 and "drunk", which is ridiculous.
If the average 165 pound female has 2 pints in TWO HOURS at Happy hour, she's at 0.05 already!
*Is that posibly correct? 165 pounds for the "average" women in America? I'm thinking this is too high.
They do the same thing with education etc..... you dont have to do this, but if you don't do exactly what we want you wont get this giant bag of money that we've taken from your taxpayers.
20 days until my vacation in Florida. Really looking forward to this...
