Severance for janitorial staff?
Seriously, what is it you do anyway? I guess you don't like Indy, or you're too settled, or what?

I have family members that I have to support both physically and monetarily.
I just gave up one hell of a nice salary for family.
I hope I did the right thing.
On a happier note........I will have all day to make stupid posts
I need a beer.

Giving up the good job seems contrary to helping support them monetarily.
Are there local opportunities for whatever it is you do? I didn't think drunken random posting was that lucrative.

Obama has already provided for Michelob
In all seriousness, sorry to hear this, Michelob. FWIW, my aunt and uncle both got laid off by GM. They now make so much more money that only my uncle is working, they didn't sell their home in Michigan and bought a bad ass penthouse loft in Chicago (where he works now). I'd venture to guess they are making $100k more/year with only one of them working and they are both older than your old corpse
This might be a blessing in disguise, or at least a chance to move south where guns are cool, democrats are hated and motorcycles can be ridden year round

I think a Honda Element might be a wise choice.
Or a used Yugo, I hear those are cheap.

You must resist. Otherwise, you will soon find yourself posting videos of yourself playing it on youtube.
And you'll start calling everybody a douche.

I'm good. I am paid for quite some time. I have a lead on building guns. PM me for details.
No, I'm not kidding.
I was going to get guitar hero tonight but the lady at the store said don't bother. The game sucks so bad that some douche played it so much he could do it blindfolded.
I'll stick with PacMan.

Sounds good. Let's put it to the test.
I want a full bodied beer with a reasonably high alcohol content. What do you recommend?

I don't really care for malt liquors too much. Then again, I'm not a big fan of fried chicken and watermelon, either.
