I feel like a partisan fighter in the second world war, popping up and taking small-time shots at you in various and sundry threads; its like you'll never know where I'll show up next.

I'll stop, Box Goshington, but only because we are liable to be related, especially given where Quick Cheks are located, and where I'm from.

Actually, I just remembered I stopped in at a Quick Chek the other day to buy a pack of smokes. Who pays attention to those store names anyways...Quick Chek, Handee Hugos, 4/3/2 Brothers, etc.

Good way to turn around the accusation I was implicitly making of you.

Yes it was. Any chance you'll stop now, or just keep trying?

After all, we're probably cousins.

GoshBox, I've never been to New Jersey. Born and raised in NC with family here since 1712. I'm rural as well -- grew up cleaning chicken houses and picking off ticks.

Good way to turn around the accusation I was implicitly making of you. Anyone who knows me, though, would laugh at the irony of it.

Understood cdtew. You're Jersey, I'm rural NC. But like Plaque and Flouride we co-exist on this keyboard like someone who thinks they know it all... and me.

GOP and irony, live together in perfect harmony
You guys lose and I win, oh Lord, now I have to pee...

Thanks again for playing the North Carolina Lottery.

One big difference between the lottery and video poker.

Government runs the lottery.

And government doesn't want to have to compete in the marketplace for gambling dollars since anyone with half a brain knows that the lottery is the worst odds out there.

Hey, just stating that the Quick Chek chain of gas stations is a New Jersey-based chain with no known affiliates in North Carolina. My mistake.

Quick Check...how very New Jersey of you, GoshBox.

Is New Jersey a small town in NC now too? And another question, do facts never embarrass you?

Video gaming nothing like lottery

GiggleBox — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 14:15:11 -0400

Lottery players stand in my way at the cashier when I'm trying to get gas to go to work.

Those video people sit in the back of Quick Check and hide from their pastor when he comes in.

I fully support whatever this news item is about if people would just get out of my way, hide from their pastor, and let me go to work.

Rev Barber has lost all credibility over Duke lacrosse and now the NCSU free speech grafitti tunnel. Not to mention is constant harping about how bad a job the NC legislature is doing(every year). Yet he implores everyone to vote these same people back in office (Democrats).

I would say do not balance the budget on the backs of the TAXPAYERS (all ethnic groups).

Do they allow white legislators to join their caucus? Just asking because you always hear so much about politicians getting into trouble because of their exclusive country clubs.

Sport22 — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 22:38:46 -0500

It's not that fact of his color, yes he happens to be black thats why its a BLACK caucus. And I am utterly descusted on that fact that you say O.K well lets just give him life in prison. Are you kidding me. This guy should have his life taken the same way he took Brittany's life. Thats final.

While it is good that the resolution is endorsed by the North Carolina Legislative Black Caucus, it should be endorsed by the WHOLE North Carolina Legislature, not only the Black Caucus. Please visit this website and use the links provided to contact various members of the NC State Legislature and see if they will back a resolution also. This is an issue that all people should care about resolving...not only people who are black. It's not a "black" or "white" issue, it's a right or wrong issue! Johnson should not be punished for doing the RIGHT THING and turning in the murderer of Brittany Willis. The murderer should be punished to the fullest extent of the law, which he is...life imprisonment. And Johnson helped make that punishment of the murderer happen.

Re: What is the N.C. Legislative Black Caucus Foundation?
