I would just get a new one, frankly. Tobacconists often give away decent ones, or charge a small amount, just to get their store name out there.

Honestly the one I got for free from one of the local shops is ten times better than the $10 one I bought from Thompson.

Ditto, that's the one that's been wearing out. the one from thompson dosen't so much cut the cigar as much as pinch it.

Oh yes, in high school I was a member of the International Thespians Society. :)

I haven't done any acting since 5th grade, I think. n English school we had Evaluations, where we showed our parents all the English we have learned by acting, in English of course.
I liked that school very much, our courses were quite reduced, partly because of the tuition costs and partly to the level we had, so we got to be quite close. I even liked PE.

My libertarian newspaper seems to be quite happy about the rumors.

Who wants to move to Thailand with me?

Fun fact, Thailand is the #15 Car manufacturer.
Another fun fact, Chile does have an automotive industry.

As I've mentioned I went to a very tiny school where participation in everything was required for everything to happen, sports, theater, trips, etc...

so it's probably no surprise that I participated in theater throughout middle and high-school. I competed in acting competitions my Junior and Senior years. Junior year I made it to the state championship tournament after placing in 3 different tournaments in the capital region. we only had about 8 people who participated in almost every tournament we traveled 2 to 3 hours every other weekend. I did Duo Interpretation with a friend of mine, a scene from Neil Simon's "God's Favorite". There were certain rules that you had to follow; no looking at your partner, no physical contact with your parner, no props. It used to be more strict like you had to hold the script and make it look like you were sight reading, no movement of the middle foot, no turning away etc..

It was really good fun doing it. I was unable to get a state bid my Senior year when I did Humorous Interpretation on account of me being the only member competing in it during each tournament we went to, thus me being entered into Dramatic Interpretation, so I had to make people laugh after the person before me made them all cry.

we called it Forensics, BTW.

I also participated in the plays during high school, but I refused to take parts in the musicals, on account of my lack of musical talent in all aspects...and rhythm....and dance ability..

I had parts in The Crucible, Lysistrata, The complete works of William Shakespeare [abridged], Greater Tuna, and a couple of others. Before I started actually taking parts I did lighting for the plays through most of middle school.

I always enjoyed acting and i plan on participating in local theater groups when life and school slow down a bit one day

I was a tree in Kindergarten. And that's it. First lesson we got in college:
"But teacher, what about actors?"
"Actors... are cattle. Be always nice to them, because they're stupid."

Another fun fact, Chile does have an automotive industry.

The hell? No, we don't. Not anymore, at least. We did make that one shitty car in the 80's, but that was it.

Oh yeah... wasn't it called the Ford Pinto and Chileans didn't like it because it meant "small penis"?

Stealth Jews have a new method of attack.

Well, not really new.

It's like everything I came to love about this forum has been forcibly gutted out. It's the old bar you used to frequent in college, but upon returning to it a while later you realize that the magic is gone.

S'what happens when forums expand and there's no IQ tests required.

Also Seven, why Thailand?

I may buy a house in Mexico... 28,000 in US currency. I can get a secondary job to supplement the first and pay it off in 5 years.

I won't live there... but I know that I can live in there anytime I want. I can let my cousin use it to rent it out to people, and the money will go to educating the kid. I can open an account where he won't be able to touch the money till he's old enough. Nobody stays nobody unless you have money to spare for education... and if you don't have the starting amount, then it's too bad for you.

Who knows, I know that everyone lacks a good job. I wanna give the kid a chance, he does, after all have a "fairy" godfather. *Yes folks, you can laugh.* Maybe when he's older, he can have the place... I'm pretty much planted right here in the US till I die.

Dunno. I'm thinking that the only children I will have maybe only the godchildren-- It feels frustrating to think like this... but, at this rate...

Whatever.

I'm still thinking on it...

I would love to move to Thailand with you.
Although for me to love you I would have to know you first. -I'm kinda old fashioned that way-
But
That doesn't mean I wouldn't LOVE to go to Thailand with you.
Hell. to be truthful Seven I would love to go to Thailand -period- My brother visited there several times when he was living in South Korea. He says it 's a great place to visit.

You rich fucks, going to Thailand.

Me? I"m just glad I didn't get shot last night. Long story. Thread in General.

Have I mentioned that I bought a car here yet? I don't think I have. It's a 1998 Chrysler Intrepid. :D

Suddenly my bank account doesn't look so spiffy anymore.

I have friends that I love & I don't want to sleep with them, or have babies with them, we're friends & were here as well as there ,for each other.
But that took time I can't meet you & love you (or anyone else for that matter) instantaneously.
< I can realize I like someone when I first meet them, the rest builds as you get to know each other.> for me anyway.
Still would be awesome to go to Thailand though.

So far, aviewaskewed is coming with me, <3 and morefngdbs.

If it's just the three of us, we can share a hotel room.

I asked my brother about it on the phone today, He said last time he was there he went to Phuket . He said the all day & overnite cruise to islands in the sea & bay area, with capt. crew, meals (fresh seafood) was reasonable .
Wicked sunsets, incredible time.

Watching bloodsport yet again has roused my interest in asian culture. I'm in. This movie is so 80's I'm amazed family guy hasen't refrenced it to death.

Does the phrase "I don't have any ears can I borrow yours" mean anything to anyone?

Well, that is quite nice of you, unfortunately, my godfather can barely pay his house, but that's just how my mother's family is.

According to this you make 6600 vehicles a year. But those numbers are strangely constant.

According to my grandfather, only crooks and the police used them, too expensive, and too fast. What you call a "muscle" car.

No, this is the one that failed, which is why I bought a new computer. The old one was getting . . . . . old.

It's weird to see 7seize post and think to myself "LOL, 3 years ago that was Freakapotimus!" but it's almost exactly the same. I feel so old.

Last night Beth and Sierra gave me hugs. It was nice. I like hugs.

I pet a pitbull today. It was covered in fighting scars. It wasn't mine. He was snuggly and huge.

I have a gig in like.... two hours. I just woke up. Hopefully I won't get shot at again......

Moved Io to a much larger tank today after her final meal in her old tank while living in it. her old 20gal will be her feeding tank from now on, well until she's much larger and won't fit in it. She has an old 50gallon fish tank I got from my grandfather's house this past weekend. We went shopping for her new tank today, new heat pad, new climbing drift wood (it's a big one! she still has her little one, she's on it right now..) 2 new ultra-violet bulbs (i sort of broke the 75w one that we already had during the cleaning last night) one is a 70, one is a 60. the 70w one is very hot and emits a lot of light, so I figure while it's hot as all fuck, she can just have the 60w one to bask in if she chooses without cooking herself. of course she has a heat pad under the water bowl for a more constant heat source. We still need to get a humidity gauge and a thermometer since the one left over from the 70s on the tank is stuck to the outside of the tank.

she's been moved to the computer room and is currently glaring at me hungrily despite the little bit larger mouse than usual we gave her today, she just shed last week and is about 2 feet long now. She's now a Juvenile and we can expect rapid growth and larger mice and more spaced out feedings. once a week is a chore, two weeks is okay, once a month will be great...but for now, she's at about a week and a half.

each shed she keeps getting prettier, it's amazing she's not losing as much color as many snakes her age start to do when they begin to grow and their color fades, especially in boas.

now she's exploring some more. I want to play with her some more, but she just ate today and is of course just moved, so I guess I'll let her get settled.

last night when we cleaned her old cage we opened the top and she just jumped in her empty water bowl and just sat there expecting to be picked up in that...it thought it was cute.

She's quite interested in our cat...every time he walks by the cage she has to pick her neck up and look over the edge at him...I used to joke while he was a kitten that if he ever starts acting like an asshole cat we could always feed him to Io

Hi Seven
I just answered your comment on my user page.
I posted a couple of other photo's of my most difficult rig so far (that I have been in charge of)
I actually believe the Rolling Stones stage I helped set up last year was one of the most difficult/dangerous jobs I've worked on, but I wasn't in charge of that job (nor would I want to be.)

For some reason in trying to P.M. you the page keeps failing to load.
So seeing as there is nothing to hide ,I thought I would drop you a line here.
Cheers.

BUt... but... they're so snuggly!!! MIssy the pit bull (not the one covered in scars, a tiny one) is the most chilled out dog... ever. And affectionate. All the tendencies that make a dog "aggressive" are the EXACT same tendencies that make them affectionate. To a dog, brutal violence is the instinctual way of contributing to the pack. If you wish to be social with a dog, then a dog with a strong pack mentality is a good thing.
