Meh, anyone can be me with a bit of practice. I'm a firm believer that nothing I do is above the abilities of other people. Of course, acting like a self-important jackass works in this situation because this is a board full of people riddles with neuroses, and it sets a good tone for the topic.

It was actually substantially cheaper than that, if I recall correctly.
I'm trying to make a Legacy Ichorid deck because it's super-cheap and you can practically translate it to vintage with just 4 bazaars. That you proxy. Because I'm not spending 800+$ for a playset holy fuck.
In that case, your original quesiton is probably going to depend on your metagame. My advice is to ask the people over at The Source what to do. They'll know better than I would.
Lamb smells like wool unless you robbed it from the crib also aren't you vegetarian?
Obviously you gotta cribrob. That's why skewered lamb came to be known as "Shish Cribrobs"
Also, not a vegetarian here. I eat dead animals most days of the week.
Maybe that was Earfetish.
Question: where is Earfetish?
Presumably he's still in Lancaster and just busy with shit.
My theory is that I shat out everything in my colon and I started already very loaded.
That's probably like 5-6 pounds right there. If my prediction is correct, I should regain weight as I start eating normally. Weight that is actually POO
That's a good explanation too. Obviously there will be a steady-state poopweight that would be lost if you reduced your solid intake substantially.
Avocado, ginger, walnut, bison.
Bison? No way. I say salmon.
Ah, I see you're not a subscriber to the "Fish is not meat" idea. That's good, because that idea is totally stupid and wrong. Anyway, both salmon and bison are pretty good. Personally I would advocate bison, mainly because the two major American Bison species are named Bison bison and Bison bison bison. No bullshit, look it up.
Now, get out there and make some grilled bison with avocado-ginger-walnut dressing.
How much chocolate goes in this?
Probably none. Use the chocolate to make a mousse to serve afterward.

Dear Elfer,
I'm not a person with a very active social life, and the girls I get interested in are usually girls who do. It aches me each time because I feel inferior, plus since I have no female friend (nor do I want, because I always end up desiring my female friends) and they usually do, I also develop jealousy.
Sounds to me like you've got a classic case of getting too worked up over things that are ultimately unimportant. You need to relax and not worry about whether or not you're dating someone. If it's someone that you actually should be dating, it'll just happen. In the mean time, just try to make a lot of friends.
To be honest, I'm not much of a social person myself. I have roughly three good friends (including my grilfriend) and I'm happy enough with that. Obviously some people need more friends to be happy, but don't let societal norms about the size of your social group get in the way of doing what you actually enjoy.
Oh and I have difficulties trusting people, which makes it hard for them to get to know me since they have to go through my shell.
Well, you don't have to trust people from them to get to know you. Just divide information about yourself into public and private, and disclose as appropriate.
Plus with me, everything is always either black or white. I'm either really friendly or cold as ice, I either don't trust at all or trust too much and tell the person all about my emotions, I either give no sign of interest to the girl or I tell her the most direct way, etc.
Then you'd better start practicing your ambiguity, dude! The system I've got going works like this: I assume everyone is basically a good person unless they give me very specific reasons ot believe otherwise. That means I'll associate with them and have honest conversations when they ask about stuff, but I only share really personal stuff with a select few people.
If you like a girl, just try to find more excuses to hang out with her until you know her better, then ask her to do something low-pressure that's just the two of you. Alternatively, invite her to someone that's going to be primarily people that you know, which means she'll be more apt to spend most of her time with you, since you're the one she knows. It's not too forward, but it's not too subtle, either.
Thanks and please give me tools to fix mah life.
I can only give you so much, but "tools" is a good way to put it. Basically, practice what you're doing. Imagine the way you want to behave in social situations, then start acting like that. It doesn't have to be sudden, it can be incremental. Basically, imagine the person you want to be, then gradually start being that person.
I can tell you that I used to have a very similar set of problems, and once you break through the mental barrier of it, you realize that some are not problems at all, and the rest are relatively trivial to overcome. Acting like you have self-confidence eventually transitions into real self-confidence.

Nice thread going here.
-The older I get the more I lose feeling of everything. How do I bring sensation back into my life, without drugs. I want to be able to listen to a song and feel it. It seems like my mind is overly analytical and hard to control. No comedy, except for Seinfeld, will make me laugh. No drama will touch my heart the way it used to.
If you want to feel music again, make yourself a pair of sock poi, shut your eyes, and move with the music.
If you want to appreciate more comedy, watch it with friends, and spend more time cracking stupid jokes with people you know. For drama, think about it as it relates to your own live.
Basically, become involved with these things on a more personal level. Immerse yourself as much as you can.
-I love forums, but it seems these days that all the forums I post on have either died in so many ways. Where is their a good forum community with good content? I wish to expand my mind.
Tough to say. It really depends on what your interests are. Politics forum here is okay, but it often devolves into arguing instead of actual discussions.

University next year, Elfer.
Chemical or Electrical engineering
Which should I do. can't decide.
If you like calculus, chemical. If you like linear algebra, electrical.
Also, if you take electrical, you'll get to do soldering, which is pretty awesome. On the other hand, if you take chemical, you'll get to work with huge industrial equipment, which is what I like.

What is a good starting line for approaching females you've never met at the mall that you likely want to bang besides "hey."
Talk to them about whatever they're shopping for. Just be like "Hey, what do you know about such-and-such" or "have you ever tried this type of spindazzler?"
