Here is how you solve this problem. Get some peeps together, make your own RIAA jackets, burst into Record Town and tell them that you have intel that they are selling bootleg copies of Limp Bizkit, Brintey Spears, Christina Agular, Pink, what ever. Tell them that you must confiscate it all. Nab all the crap, take it outside douse the crap in gas and set it on fire. Then go back into the store tell the manager he sucks, and that he was just Punk'd. Make sure you are wearing a goddamn trucker hat too.

Ok, so we all have flakey people in our lives, and after hearing my housemate storm into the house bitching and kicking shit because he was so pissed about someone flaking out on him, I decided to see if I could find any articles on the subject. Being a musician, I understand how much of an annoyance flakes can be, and let me tell ya, SF is loaded with flakes. Search the musicians section on Craig's List for the word "flakes". Is flakiness an orientation, a preference, a defense mechanism? I don't know. What makes someone commit, then not show? I imagine that some kind cognitive death spiral over comes the subject and then they work themselves into a frenzy and then they have no choice but to shell away and hide. I don't know where I am going with this, but there is bound to be some research or good articles somewhere. Here is the first one I came across.

Jesus, this guy should learn to drink at home.
This has a nifty search, but you can just change the inmate variable and see all offenders. If you have been detained in Kentuky, you might be online. Hey I need to check this before I hire anyone.
