I made bacon-tomato omelet, but no one came to party.
Maybe because you were naked?
tomorrow my mum's step-grandchildren have their Confirmation.
do you have these in America?
in rural germany it is a big thing, I think it has many similaritie to,your high school prom.
first you have to go to Confirmatio-Lectures once a week for one year, go to church most sundays in that year.
The Confirmation is the first time you wear formal cloth, the girls a dress the boys a suit with necktie.
You get A LOT of money from your relativs and he whole village (usually everyone your parents know sends at least 5 Euro) boys buy often buy their first small moped with it.big party with the whole family, then some adults (usually uncles) will give you your first beer (mixed with coke or lemonade)
in the early evening all the Konfirmanten from the village gather for the "Walkabout" they go togeher and visit every party and ge a little bit of alcohol everywhere (in most villages the parents make sure no one gets to drunk)
afterwards it will be OK to drink cola-beer in public (but you are not alowed to buy beer until you are 16)in older times, after the Konfirmation you where concidered an adult Main-school ended and you started to learn a Profession
Yep, we have these. I had mine at 14. Not a big deal on the gifts.

I do not care for Adam Sandler -I hold him responsible for the death of snl as we knew it. Chris Farley is more of a tragedy than anything else, I like brad Pitt when he is coupled with a good director (he has my respect for learning a jamaican accent for meet Joe black), and Mike myers needs to either stay in the directors chair or in front of the camera, not both. The wayans belong on the small screen and behind the camera, although in living color remains one of the greatest sketch comedies ever made.Finally, someone else with good taste!I absolutely DESPISE anything with Adam Sandler, any Wayon, Chris Farley, Brad Pitt, or Mike Myers in it. Yes I am aware that rules out 90% of all movies from the late 90's.I'm not alone!!!
Now I did like ILC, to me at least it was better SNL than SNL was. Although I hold it to blame for Jim Carrey's brand of dumb ass comedy flooding the industry.

Kohl??Indeed. I have a Kohl's near my home, and like to get clothing there.I am going to +1 this and add Kohls. I love me some Kohls.I probably shouldn't yell like that this early in the day, but what can I say - I'm loud.So, I need lots of new clothes for the new job. I go poke around at the Nordstrom Off the Rack to see how far my money might go there (not far), and I notice that, men's shirts have gotten lots louder than they used to be. What style advice do the FaWTLies have for a guy looking to bring his CHA MOD up through the purchasing of better, but not necessarily crazy more expensive, clothes?J.C. Penny - Stafford Oxford shirts - the heavy weave stuff. They look decent, no loud colors, and they'll last forever. Four of the ones I own I've had for over 10 years, with hardly a sign of wear or tear.
That and some Dockers pants - you're good to go.
If you need a suit - Joseph A Banks. Excellent customer service and it seems they've always got some kind of sale or special going on.

Everybody thinks that SNL was at it best whenever they were 20 years old. It doesn't matter when that was: if you were 20 in 1978, you think it was best with Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray; if you were 20 in 1988, you say it was best when it had Dana Carvey et al; if you were 20 in 1995, you say it was best in the Chris Farley era; if you were 20 in 2001, like me, you think it was best with Will Farrell and co. That's my theory.

Pretty accurate IME as well. However I think it was best back in the late 70's/early 80's, and I was like 5, but I've always been a little out of step with everyone else around me.

I have to disagree- I enjoyed it all through it's life, with it only getting stupid when lord knows who behind the scenes was so much in love with Adam Sandler that they let him upstage literally everyone.
So new job is going well. I am now in training to be a keyman and engraver.
Good to hear!!!!!
Got my birthday present from my wife and kid - a painting from this website called allpopart.com. It shows Charlie as Batman and me as the Joker. They must have used an actual picture of us. It's interesting.
On the other hand, yesterday at my FLGS, I bought some more Pathfinder minis for myself - got a Minotaur, a guardsman, the iconic paladin, and one other I can't remember at the moment.
Then when I stopped at Popeyes and ordered my 3 strip dinner, I had to wait about 10 minutes for it. When they finally brought it out, I had like 7 or 8 strips in the box. So that made lunch and a small dinner! Huzzah!
And I watched part one of the Fringe season finale!

Hey, did I miss a birthday? Happy birthday man!!!!
I wasn't naked when I was making the omelet...

Yeah, I think mine was 15-16. No gifts or party, and the whole process was the beginning of my abandonment of Catholicism (I got a bad taste with the hierarchy's handling of some CCD matters)

.....wish me luck
Happy birthday Aberzombie, and good luck aeglos.
And I skipped confirmation, wasn't going to go pretend I believed in a god just to get some presents. Cool thing is that one of my class mates (who, unlike most Swedes, had quite religious parents) told me he got the courage to tell his dad he weren't religious either after I'd explained to him (the dad) why he never saw me at the confirmation meetings.

Good luck, aeglos! I hear that's a hard movie to get through.
You know you saw it.
I couldn't get through the first 20 minutes.

Only really in the Catholic community.

Can't it be both?
But seriously, the acting was awful. I don't know whether to blame the actors or the director. The main characters look either bored or confused.

it's a lutheran thing here, catholics have it with 9, without beer of course
sorry for bringing up a kind of religious topic, I did not much think about that, it is first and foremost about coming of age, beer and presents for us here
we watch the second movie
it's kind of very boring

Aren't you missing Yellowjacket, Swordsman and Hellcat?
Okay.
First off: back from Avengers. Went for Tony Stark, stayed for everything else.
Secondly, I do have to add one exception to the list I share with Moorluck: I did like Shrek and Shrek 2. (Third was meh. Haven't seen the other one.)
Thirdly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZOMBIE
411 new posts?!?!?! I am not reading....oh wait I read them all.
twilight is over, now watching Pirates of the Caribean
I am watching Cars again, cuz someone really likes it. Also since going outside is out due to the weather.
So Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 next year, and Cap 2 in early 2014.
And happy bevrijdningsdag to all.
And happy bevrijdningsdag to all.

I love calendars which include holidays from different parts of the world.

** spoiler omitted **Aren't you missing Yellowjacket, Swordsman and Hellcat?
Yes and no, Yellow Jacket was Antman under another name so I just ignored the second name. I thought I had Swordsman on the list. Hellcat was an auxiliary member if I remember.
Also I am sure someone else must have been left off the list.
Woo! They're showing Slapshot on TV. Now there's some people who knew what makes for a good flick: a middle-aged Paul Newman fighting in a hockey-rink. :)
Time for a blitz to get 49k
Thanks, Prof for the share post in Pie land
Mmmm...pizza with cajun crust. Sorry no mex today
Can't wait for the weather to change. Stuffy headache is no fun
Took mom to our old church today. She loves how everyone knows her.
Kids are all out of the house and the wife doesn't want to play. :(
Yard work can wait 'til tomorrow
Time to get nekkid!
EDIT: Uh oh. My branches are bare! Oh wait, I planned that!
