a) This is the only website I have access to from work

Your work sounds strange

Part time job in a call center selling Cirque du Soleil tickets. Not a single clue why this site beats the firewall.

I've never seen this site blocked anywhere except my phone oddly.

Just the way Lego rolls I guess.

Probably because this site has nothing to do with the common 'red flags': porn, gambling, facebook

Beyond news sites, no other site is allowed. Especially none that allow posting of info in forums. My guess is that some of our IT guys are also Dakkanauts, but that's a just a blind guess...

I knew this man. He was a delight to be around in the years that I knew him, though I never got into Magic.

Very sad.

I may sound like a dick here but we have no control over the blood diamond killings, we do over these

In first world countries we have more voting power with our dollar than our ballot.

Stop buying diamonds. Its simple.
If your girlfriend/wife likes bling, buy her rubies, sapphires, emeralds, or sythentic diamonds.
If we did that, the blood diamonds would dry up.

The top graded BL is up for 100k on eBay. lols

If you look that has no bids. The true value is something someone is willing to pay for an item, not what it is being offered for. For example, I have this pencil I'll happily sell for 10k.

It seems the going rate for a beta BL is $2500. Still quite sizeable for a damn piece of cardboard.

Edit :
Now whats f'ing crazy is this.

Judy Garland wore an iconic blue gingham from Kansas to Emerald City and back in The Wizard Of Oz. And this weekend that dress fetched a cool green $480,000 at Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills.
