While I have no issue with music volume at say, music festivals, why does every band with an amplifier think they need to crank it to 11, no matter how small the venue?
Because it's hella punx, that's why.

Hipster! No one spells punk with an "X" anymore!

Besides clothing.

I wear no adornment, no jewelry, watch, tattoo or piercing.

I barely remember to wear my wedding ring (which is a five dollar mood ring from a flea market) but in my line of work (landscaping, not toy store) unless you do throw down serious cash ($2,000+ for titanium), your wedding ring won't last (tho i have twice had it save me from serious or catastrophic injury).

Hipster.

Getting near ME2 end game. The tension is palpable.


  • Will I be able to find enough platinum and E0 to finish my upgrades?
  • And what about iridium? What about iridium?
  • There's no fuel depot in this system. Will I be able to deplete it with only - oh no! - 11 probes left?

Oh, the drama.
I absolutely love that aspect of the game. It's what I would so for a living in the universe.
You're a madman. A g$!$+*ned maniac.

You know what I love even more? Managing my inventory in ME1. Also, have I ever mentioned that I love bikes?

I've just had an epiphany-- I enjoy science fiction stories (or at least stories with the trappings of science fiction) way more than I enjoy straight-up fantasy stories.

So, my point is, does anyone want to run a PbP of that bootleg Mass Effect RPG that almost won an ENnie before it got disqualified?

I would totally play this.
I call femshep!

I'll fight you for it.

you have to have it FRESH. If you let it sit, it will taste AWFUL. Timing is very important when enjoying an egg cream.
I refuse to take part in any cultural delicacy that involves a strange ritual beforehand. Good sir, I REFUSE.
No tequila for you, then? ;)

Tequila is gross-- I much prefer to just eat the worms.

New Yorkers are proud of our egg cream history, the war between manhattantown and brooklyn for who created it first is fierce), but otherwise yes.

The reason Manhattan and Brooklyn are fighting over who created the egg cream is because neither of them want the honor. Egg creams are disgusting, and once a clear winner is decided, they'll finally be formally shamed in public by the rest of the United States.

Seriously, though, what kind of a sick f!~~ thought, "Hey, you know what would make this chocolate milk better? Seltzer water!"

Wow! The dialogue in the last Transformers movie is terrible! Like some of the worst I've seen, and I've seen every Barbie fairytale movie and all the American Girl movies, also Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

I honestly couldn't wait for all of them to die, especially the John Goodman transformer.

yeah, it was a stinker.

Still love it though.

Freehold explain this to me.

Bandai Namco is developing a Playstation Virtual Reality game called "Summer Lesson."

In the hyper realistic game, you will teach Japanese girl English or an American girl Japanese.

WHY?

Knowing the Japanese, it probably has something to do with seeing her underwear.

here's some of what i know about viking age washing habits: they washed their faces every morning. At the beginning of every meal they washed their hands (which is more than can be said for most people today!!). In some places saturday was known as 'washing day'.

ibn fadlan complained about the washing habits of the rus, but he did exaggerate his complaints, and he was impossible to please anyway; due to being a muslim familiar with the tradition of never washing in the same water that was already washed in. If you got past the complaining, he did report that they have meticulous, daily washing rituals.

interesting.
you've replied to a number of my posts saying interesting, what does it mean?

That he has a degree in psycology ? :)

edit: i swear i made that joke and THEN looked at his profile...

The guy just can't turn it off, can he?
Interesting.

Fascinating. Intriguing, even.

There wasn't a limit on the number of copies of a card one could have.
One of the reasons that the 4-card rule was added was a tournament-winning deck from 1993 that consisted of nothing but Mountains and Lightning Bolts.
one of the reasons I hate magic.

Oh, man, I bet you'd love this one, then.

The Disappearing Deck:

Land:
5x Swamp
4x Island
4x Mountain
2x Saprazzan Skerry
2x Sandstone Needle
3x Shivan Reef
3x Underground River

Black spells:
4x Dark Ritual (B)
3x One With Nothing (B)
4x Vampiric Tutor (B)
4x Doom Blade (1B)

Blue spells:
3x High Tide (U)
3x Enter the Infinite (8UUUU)

Red spells:
4x Lightning Bolt (R)
2x Pyretic Ritual (1R)
4x Jokulhaups (4RR)

Artifacts:
4x Tormod's Crypt (0)

If you can't figure out what it does:
1. Stall until you can get Enter The Infinite, Jokulhaups, Tormod's Crypt, and One With Nothing in your hand.
2. Cast Enter The Infinite, leaving you with one card in your library.
3. Play Tormod's Crypt.
4. On your next turn, draw your last card, tap 7 lands (make sure one of them is a Swamp), then cast Jokulhaups, wiping the board of everything but your Crypt.
5. Cast One With Nothing to dump your hand into your graveyard.
6. Sacrifice your Crypt to exile it, along with all of the cards in your now-full graveyard, leaving you with no hand, no library, no graveyard, and no cards in play. You lose the game.

If my assumptions are correct, and you're referring to high school, I graduated a decade after your 10-year reunion.

On the subject of bad dates, it seems that several women took it upon themselves to take note of my existence at precisely the moment that I stopped having free time to do anything other than work and go to band practice. Now I've got to pick one (or, more likely, none, at least if I want to be able to pay my bills), and I don't know what to do. My life has suddenly turned into an issue of Archie Comics. I don't even like Archie Comics.
I've been hearing good things about the reboot.

Reboots are always bad. ALWAYS.

280. The historic vote in 1894 goes the other way, and Brooklyn does not become a borough of New York. They remain an independent city, and development of said city continues in the other direction until Brooklyn annexes almost half the townships of Long Island. Eventually the entire island is referred to as Brooklyn.
That's beautiful.. I can't stop thinking about it.
