Government got em, man. They could only rely on themselves for so long.

Practice. Study. Make connections to things you already know when learning new things.

With the exception of tequila, your opinion is shit.
If you can get a hold of really high quality vodka (namely Kettle One), it's pretty easy to drink. Same goes for whiskey.

Actually, there have been a number of blind taste-tests involving so-called "vodka experts" in which these experts chose low-grade vodka, like Smirnoff or Popov, over the high-quality stuff like, Grey Goose or Kettle One. These taste-tests show that, for the most part, the differences between vodka brands, both high-and-low-quality, is negligible.

Personally, I discovered this fact long before I came across the taste-test results - all of them tasted the same to me as well.

That's why I generally recommend steering clear of any type of vodka, especially for first time drinkers, since it is one of those "burning throat" liquors. The same applies to Whiskey.

In contrast, Rum doesn't burn the throat and would be better for a first-time drinker in my opinion.

However, I fully recognize that everyone has their own preferences when choosing their favorite drinks, so you are well within your rights to believe my opinion is "shit".

That really sucks, man! That delivery guy is obviously a nitwit, especially since a record doesn't feel bendable at all, even if it is in an envelope.

However, instead of asking the mail company to devour excrement, perhaps you should contact their complaints department and try to get a reimbursement. Did the sender buy insurance?

If you can prove that the record was incredibly rare or valuable, you might get a pretty good amount of money back.

I'm no computer whiz, but there is a way to take off the entire laptop keyboard. Then you can just turn it different ways and shake it. Hopefully the chip will fall out on its own. I don't recommend prying up that individual key.

A better option that requires no removal of keys or keyboard is to buy a compressed-air can, like the one shown below. A quick burst of air can usually dislodge most crumbs from underneath/between keys.

I doubt that anyone has uploaded Judge Judy shows from 10 years ago, so your best bet is to contact CBS Studios, who owns the show, and request a copy of that specific episode.

You can either give CBS your relatives' names, or use the disorganized Episode Guide found here to find the actual episode number.

You'll probably have to spend some money to have CBS make a copy of that episode and mail you the tape.

Completely normal, sophisticated people can act like whoever the hell they want and no one in the outside world will know. Many people use the Internet to act differently or to vent or whatever. I know I'm twice as profane, perverted, and angry when I'm on the Internet than in real life.

This is basically what I was going to say.

Most people act a bit differently online since they have a level of anonymity on NG (and the internet in general) that they don't enjoy in real life.

Nerds can act like "though guys", ugly people can post fake pictures and pretend to be attractive, and normal girls can act like sluts. A girl who would never stand on the street corner and strip suddenly find themselves removing items of clothing in a chatroom - it boggles my mind.

Also, you sorta need a "guy's mentality" to enjoy Newgrounds, so just because a girl is trying to keep up with our cock jokes and immature sexual references shouldn't automatically make her "trashy". They are just adopting the lax stance towards sexuality that is used here on Newgrounds by the male majority.

Your first drink will likely be "tasty" since beer and liquor is rarely pleasant.

I suggest you avoid vodka, tequila or whiskey, since those are the worst-tasting of the mainstream liquors, in my opinion.

I suggest you mix Rum, or even Vanilla Rum, with Coke or some other sugary beverage if you are looking for an "ok-tasting" drink.

Only on her birthday and Valentine's Day.

bam dum tssh

But seriously, I eat out way too frequently - usually 2-3 times per week. Usually it's just a hoagie from the deli or a pizza, but occasionally I'll eat fast food of some type.

I really need to learn how to cook...

I'll pick you up at 7.

And I always thought those "become a secret shopper" ads were scams - I surprised that you actually got a position as a mystery shopper. What does it entail? How much does it pay?

Any insights you care to pass along about any national chains?

Also, use the "Reply & Quote" button instead of the "Reply to Post" button when you are referring to another user's post, so it shows the quoted text in your post (like I did with this post).

If a thread is 100 pages long, the discussion that occurred in the first 10 pages will likely NOT be the discussion that is occurring on page 99. In that case, I scan the last 5 pages or so to figure out the conversation and see if I have anything to add.

I definitely lurk more than post, but I'm not going to read through a 50 page thread just to "do something crazy".

It probably just takes him a long time to get through all of the PMs he receives every day, so wait a few weeks before you PM him a second request.

Also I suggest you make the Subject Line fairly clear so he can see what you want just by scrolling through his inbox.

Cat shaking.

From what I remember, a humongous battle always occurred over the ownership of a Dragonball. So I would probably run as far away from the ball as possible, since some pissed-off super people are about to show up and battle.

I can't shoot lasers or anything, so I doubt I could possess the dragonball for a very long time, even if I took it.

I always set the timer for longer than the recommended cooking time, then eyeball whatever food I am cooking. Rarely does the time ever get to 0.

Plus my microwave is incredibly old and low-power, so I need to give everything an extra minute or two.

No, fuck you. We must increase the number of people who are able to achieve Super Saiyan if we are hoping to overthrow the governing bodies of the world.

But anyway, I'll delete my post with my super mod powers now.

hey wait a second...

Perhaps one of these days you'll learn to watch your mouth around your parents until you can actually afford to move out?

It's understandable if you talk back the first time and are shocked when your dad kicks you out of his house - but to go through the same exact situation again and make the same mistakes is inexcusable.

I hear newspaper can be used as insulation, by the way.

Yes, surely the absence of Christianity would force thousands of capitalistic corporations to completely abandon the millions of dollars they make every year due to Christmas.

Brilliant.

This would be my answer as well. Be patient and have great scouts, rather than poach stars from other teams.

Sadly, most of the time a team will raise a promising young player and right before he turns the corner into a "outstanding player", another better team with more money will come along and snatch him away. It's rare to have a home-grown hero these days, sadly.

My invite just went through and I am now on the Wave thingy.

This is what I was going to say as well. Anyway...

So, before this machine is even built, we should start recording the presence of every single molecule of this time, so we can recreate it later with your "time machine".

So I'll get us started... There's a chair over there, a cup of Orange Juice on the counter, I'm on the sofa and my wallet is on the ground beside me. How many molecules is that?

I don't think an hour of the day goes by without me thinking, "I wonder what Pox is up to?" or "I bet Evark is hungry...I'm going to make him a sandwich just in case he shows up at my doorstep," or "I'm so glad 36Holla is here on Newgrounds to moderate these forums - I would have probably swallowed the business end of a shotgun if not for his presence on the internet!"

I'm getting a little teary-eyed just thinking about you guys.

A random collection of popular repetitious internet clips all strung together over an outdated Kayne West clip is not funny or original.

I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Official Statement of the Anti-Valz, Pro-Timmy Movement 2009:

Valz openly hates puppies and Newgrounds.

I'll think about coming - I would probably not choose to spend the night though. Hotels in NYC are quite expensive.

I was never allowed to watch South Park or The Simpsons. It was too crass for my parents, apparently.

Now they admit that The Simpsons can be pretty fun, as can Family Guy. Haven't sold them on South Park yet, though.

Also, I was never allowed to have a pet. Not even a goldfish. :(
