Goddamnit, stop being so fucking sexy.

I mean, jesus christ, it's hard enough to avoid hunting you down and forcing you to give me your feminine pleasures, but when you say shit like this, I can almost feel the handcuffs slapping around my wrists as you point out my face from behind the one-way glass.

I've found them in the bakery section at my grocery store pretty much all year round...sometimes they have them themed for whatever the nearest holiday is.

Well, if you really want to, it's trademarktattoo@yahoo.com and you'll want to mention it's for Sarah Boyle.

Warning to all; Wal-Mart now has a discount music section in their electronics department, consisting of various Mix CD's by groups like The Hit Crew and The Countdown Singers. These are not mix cd's of the actual songs, just soundalike groups.

I grabbed this while shopping last night. The classical tracks are decent, but I wish that there were audio clips on Amazon so you could hear how laughably bad these singers are on the rock tracks.

The bad thing about all this is if you don't pay attention to the packaging to see where it says "featuring the Hit Crew," you won't know until you play the CD, and then it's too late because Wal-Mart doesn't take back opened CD's. Just a word to the wise.

I see no problem with jokes, it just seems that most of the 'jokes' lack humor & are more cutting & or spiteful

Think of this....If Tiger Woods,
Was a rich Arab, he could have 3 wives & no one would even blink an eye.
Myself, I cannot understand why any of you would care one way or the other !
I'm one of those people who have always waited my turn in the Grocery store checkout line, & I see all these scandal/hollywood mags & everyone of them are about unflattering/nastyness in people's lives, who's leaving who, who's getting fatter/thinner , WHO GIVES A FUCK...HOW IS THIS INTERESTING ?????
Don't the people who buy this shit have a life of their own ?
What a sorry existence it must be , if what you interests you is the problems of others...who your not even, involved with or related to.

I survived the valley... Anyone who thinks cold is easier than warm to deal with is welcome to come here & try 13 to 15 hour days outside in the cold, no matter what the weather is, often doing as much as 6 straight hours without getting in out of the weather.
I just did 4 days of it...& warm/hot is easier, way easier.

I couldn't agree more. It is quite pathetic that people think it matters what happens in famous people's lifes. The media cares so much about their damn ratings they don't care about the real important stuff happening in the world and instead they go after people and often effect their lifes in a negative way.

Wish me luck. After my chiropractor's appointment this morning, I'm going to go to the mall and make th eattempt to get some Christmas shopping done on my limited budget. Yay.

My goal for next year is to have at least one credit card paid off enough to where I can use it to my Christmas shopping online... in November.... like a normal person.

I went buying fruits today! I felt like a grown-up.
I bought:
5 bananas =$5
5 apples =$5
5 oranges =$5
broccoli =$5
chicken milanesas =$15
and 10 turrones = $5

so i'm able to cough loud (loudly?) enough to get a tone from my cymbals. the more you know.

Same as Turron, I take it? Sounds good.

I'm currently waiting on my lunch to get done heating up. It's like a Hot Pocket, but instead it's real slices of pepperoni and cheese inside a loaf of flakey bread, it smells so good right now.

Sympathetic Resonance. The music store I used to work in was basically one long room, 20 foot wide by about 120 feet long, and it was wall-to-wall musical instruments. And there were quite a few occasions where if someone was playing electric bass or electric guitar loud enough, the drums would do that (most often the snares). It was really interesting when the acoustic guitar wall got going... like 30 or 50 acoustic guitars all ringing sympathetically at once. The banjos would occasionally join in, too.

I've gotten almost all my christmas shopping done, now I just have to get my brother and his wife something, my brother-in-law something, and make about 4 pieces of chainmail jewelry for various relatives. YAY.

The mall wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be, but could someone PLEASE explain to me why a middle school would kids on an unsupervised take a trip to a mall? It was everything I could do in FYE to keep from taking out my pocket knife and slicing the head off of the Edward and Jacob from Twilight cardboard cutouts, just to see the little tweenie girls cry.

Sympathetic Resonance.

so my snare responds to guits and basses while my cymbals respond to different kinds of coughs. neato.

And then when you hold the knife aloft and yell out "there can be only one!" none of them get it, further fueling your rage.

If I was going to go Highlander on somebody, I've more fitting weapons at my disposal than a pocket knife.

Although, I'm making it a point sometime in the next month or so to buy a Cold Steel Voyager. I think it's high time I stop buying junker knives and invest in something with good workmanship. Staff may want to skip to about 3:52 in the first video to get what I mean.

Yes but do you bring these to the mall? Note that either answer could be hilarious.

The bulk of my collection has been the cheaper stuff but amoung that I have a couple by Buck and a pretty sweet kukri and of course the bowie I kept talking about for a while.
It's been a while since I activly collected but lately I've been eyeing this
from thinkgeek. just because it's such a cool concept. I'm not much of a camper but I can see the advantage of having a knife and a source of fire in the same device. I don't know. I think there's part of every guy that worries he may someday have to be Macguyver.

I carry a knife with me wherever I go, and while it might not be shaving sharp it's sharp enough to do damage. Although I wish I would have had even a cheap katana on me at that point...

As a wiser man once said; the two most useful tools to any man are a good knife and a lighter. You can buy that, but myself? I'd sooner buy the Van Hoy Snap Lock 2 and carry a Ronson Jetlite if I were you. I sharpened a Van Hoy for a coworker once, and they take a HELL of an edge with little work.

That is a nice looking knife. As for lighters, there's different ways to go. There was a topic about this a few months ago. Like if you want to light your own smokes and such by all means get a nice lighter but if you want to be the helpful guy who always has a light disposables are the way to go. That way you don't have to like hold it out yourself for them, which is really weird if it's another guy, or hand it to them and hover over them about it. WIth a disposable not only are you helpful but you're the guy who's not a dick about his stuff, 2 points.
As far as nice lighters. I think I'm cursed towards them. Zippo is a fine and proven brand but whenever I got one of those it would always run out of fuel prohibidingly fast or I'd lose it. It's just not something I'm meant to have. I'm probably glad I lost that one with the playboy logo on it. That's a lot less cool now than it was when I was 18.

is there a way to make zippos more fuel efficient.

damnit; i'm supposed to be writing and studying, not trolling the forums.

I don't know. I know people who've used them without the troubles I had so I'm gonna go ahead and stick with the not meant to be idea.

Yeah, and I'm one of those people who've had no trouble with them at all. However, I prefer matches because it keeps the flavor better, but hey, that's just me.
