You do tend to make decent avatars, JD. Oh be nice you old calloused one Some of us are grateful for the gifts offered by our wee community here in the corner of cyber ... Your new one is pretty neat. Edit: This inspired me to make my own sig. Brace for epic impact tomorrow. The revealing of the slugs true spirit will commence and his greatness will shine among the interwebs, if only for a brief flicker.

Good luck hurlshot. We remodeled a bathroom recently and to take the tile out you have to get a mini jack hammer. The bathroom was extremely small as well but it took the guy like over an hour to do.

Tigranes I have a friend who does the exact same thing. He'll get something that isn't even mildly difficult; first he'll blow it out of proportion, make some empty promises to wake up early and get it done right away, then the night before it's due crap together some horribly written paper. The kid is obviously not cut out to be in academia what so ever. He seriously had something around or below a 2.2 gpa and they still let him in the university under the guise of some kind of academic probation period. Since then he's failed political science twice and barely made more than a B or two throughout a semester. I can't exactly relate to the problem people are facing but I can definitely say in complete confidence that you pretty much nailed it on the head. I took two English courses at my college. The first one, I was by far the best writer in the class, the only competition left in the begining of the year. I'm not even a sub par writer but I managed to get a 96 on all 4 of the major papers we had to write. 2 of the papers required some sort of anecdotal response and every paper I read was complete garbage. People's stories were a mix of complete fantasy, inappropriateness, and writing skills I possessed in the 6th grade. They lacked the essential ideas of what a foundation for an essay should be. They had no form, a cloudy vocabulary and just a genuine lack of concern in their writing. There is no excuse either, these things have been pounded into our skulls for the last 12 years of our lives and they still can't get it right. My second English class was a complete joke. The poor guy's sister died a week into the class but the professor was still a crack pot through and through. His syllabus was rife with grammatical errors and every message he sent to the class was some kind of sick joke of run ons and fragment sentences. The guy couldn't even figure out how to use a comma right. I'll admit I hated the guy. I wrote possibly the best work I have ever done in my then 19 years of life and he gave me a C. It was a small homework assignment but I was enraged, greatly. He was obsessed with the word specific and made sure we knew we had a lack of it in our writing. That was his go to phrase for everything and everyone and even though I changed my writing to adapt to his retarded ideals it still quite wasn't enough to satiate his demonic hunger for some kind of backwards ass retardedness i hatehim admanit :'( /rant Any who, I'm going to go ahead and say that there's a large percentage of children and young adults who are just plain retarded and sadly these people are employed while young strapping men such as myself are seen as outsiders just becuase I enjoy silently judging people and subconsciously wishing god would drop something from the sky bludgeoning them to death.

Me and my friend made sushi our selves. It was surprisingly pretty good but then again I suppose if you put enough soy sauce on anything it'll taste the same. We made about 4 rolls and some miso soup, which wasn't all that awesome unfortunately because tofu sucks. The sushi would have been better if my friend wasn't focusing more on presentation so he could take pictures of every roll we freakin made so it took us like seriously 2 hours. Then we watched some basketball and I left becuase I don't watch sports.

Tale, come on baby cakes. I mean seriously. You're a reasonably intelligent young man and you use the internet quite frequently I'd imagine. I don't understand what this "buying" concept is in the least, especially when it isn't inherently illegal (unless it's licensed).

That's quite nice GD. I like the floor plan, very simple and practical. I can't stand the retarded design that I've seen in many of the houses built out here. You should have that the kitchen wall between the family room knocked out on top and made into like a bar top imo. Having the kitchen closed off just seems weird these days. Unless of course you like that sort of thing and want to perpetuate the way of the old south and start enslaving people with your quote "Plantation" home.

That's a pretty big misconception you got their Pidesco. The best food I have ever eaten in the states has been from small hole in the wall places sometimes not even near major cities. For example, there is this restaurant, classy by no means but definitely not a crap hole either, that is in this little town somewhere in the out skirts of New Jersey on the way back from my grandpa's cabin. I've eaten there only a handful of times (and probably will never enjoy it ever again considering my family sucks) but their prime rib is by far the best I have ever had and I'm a pretty big prime rib enthusiastic. Considering I live in Las Vegas, a place I would imagine is renown for having some great restaurants and chefs, and having eaten at some of the highest rated/expensive places around the city I can honestly say that their food doesn't stand up what so ever to the food at a place that is a fraction of the cost. And as enoch says, yeah you can definitely get some delicious and absolutely dirt cheap genuine Mexican cuisine in most places. I'm not going to lie though when it comes to food America does kind of suck. We invented the hot dog. Sadly, I don't speak for everyone but on behalf of what should the most civilized society in the world, I'm sorry.

I'm going to start watching code geass R2.

I grilled some chicken, cut up some red onion and tomatoes, and sliced some mozzarella cheese and put a tiny bit of mayo on each piece of whole wheat bread and then put it in the oven and then ate it. It was pretty good.

Breaking my heart Walsh. :'( And why am I not a good candidate to become an accountant? I'm a terribly reclusive and embittered man who is likely to be married to his job. I'm the perfect person to be an accountant.

Get a prefabricated house!!! They are so nice and awesome and "green" and trendy/ahead of their time and awesome again. That's what I'm going to get when I'm rich and awesome. That or a subterranean compound where I horde cats and keep a mainframe of 4chan archives and recruit children for the impending revolution. Edit: http://www.livinghomes.net/galleryModelhome.html

I've become a lab rat. Got a hep a shot yesterday for a health card and a tetnus diaphera shot today so that I can hopefully be among my peers at university. Just hope my previous school sent my transcripts and all I have to do is show them I'm immunized and I can be officially enrolled and hopefully finally start upon my path to being a successful CPA/CMA or Senior Accountant in the future. Of course that basically all depends on whether or not I can get an internship. If I don't I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do since every entry level accounting position has required at the very least 2-3 years of experience and considering my cumulative job experience thus far is 3 months 3 years ago and has basically zero relevance I'm not exactly a great looking candidate, for anything.

Your Aunt was a nice woman. I've believe I've passed through fresno a few times as a young child. Pretty much anything that's in between Vegas/California/New Mexico but not exactly near any respected city are all down trodden places where people have had their spirits broken and their dreams shattered. It's truly a shame, I'm glad you made it out.

I'm glad your cat is okay. Will you be my girlfriend?

Dokes is awesome. I finished the wire. First season awesome, then sucked a little bit then progressively got slightly better until season 5 which totally was a waste of time and sucked. Overall 7.49/10 You sir, have no taste. There is no bad season of The Wire. Most people seem to like the second least. I'm guessing that's because it has the least 'gangsta' stuff of the five. But you gotta love Frank Sobotka. Personally I liked season 3 the best. Bunny Colvin's Hamsterdam, I freakin' loved that stuff. Season 4 with the kids was awesome as well. Season 5 was a bit less believable than the others at times, but I loved how they wrapped up everyone's story. Best thing about The Wire is the characters. I want Bunk to be my friend! In fact, that's probably the reason I don't have too much sympathy for the people in Dexter's police department. I give it a solid 10, really can't point out any flaws. Best show I've ever seen. Was even better the second time, noticed a lot more things I missed on the first run. Can't point out any flaws? What are you crazy. They killed off possibly the greatest character ever conceived in the entirety of games, television, literature, or any medium. How dare you sir.

Dokes is awesome. I finished the wire. First season awesome, then sucked a little bit then progressively got slightly better until season 5 which totally was a waste of time and sucked. Overall 7.49/10. Started Jericho but it's pretty lame. Character's are seriously retarded. Example: Multiple nuclear explosions around the U.S. and a lady is vacuuming the living room like their entire way of life isn't hanging in the balance. The script and subplots aren't that great either so I'm not going to continue unless someone has good reason to say otherwise. Edit: Wiki'd and found that the show was cut off in the second season since it got poor reviews throughout both seasons. Yeah nevermind, not going to watch it either way.

I went to the doctor yesterday. Actual doctor consultation lasted approximately 2 minutes and 23 seconds, which still included the physical examination (heart, breathe, etc). He told me to go see an optometrist, which I did this morning. He said my eyes were in good working order, some slight prescription problem but not enough to get glasses. So I suppose the slug will have endure, until the brain tumor/meningitis/blood test proof diabetes kill me. I mean seriosuly how are they going to put me off like that. At least the last doctor I had actually had some sort of interest in treating his patient and made me get blood/urine tests. Headache and fever virtually daily and other stuff. I'll miss you guys when I start convulsing to death while watching The Wire and my cats feast upon my flesh until someone finds my dead corpse. Freakin doctors, I hate em. :'(

You don't pull any punches do you? :'(

I saw most of the first installment (atleast I imagine so - they were just entering the facility getting foamed up all nakey like and what not and man giblets and female parts which sadly made the slug even more slug-like, lets just say gravity and age has been unkind to many). I enjoyed some of the camera work and tone but the show was sadly pretty lame. I really wanted it to be good and also finding out it was a miniseries didn't do much for me. The casting and script could have been much better as well....Jin as the scientist was fine but the chick from Scrubs. Sorry lady you need to learn to act your way out of a double dragon baby maker annihilation punch from yours truly so that your acting chops never get passed down to a second generation, I'll admit you do a good job playing the unbelievably sarcastic b*** from scrubs but something thats serious, no go honey. It also got waaaaaaay too freakin preachy with a jab at homeland security and biochemical testing. Not to mention the part where the guy runs up to the humvee and they die and he starts screaming hysterically. Yeah never good television, not ever or even in a million years will the d bag screaming his lungs out on his knees ever be good television. I should be a freakin writer/director/producer. These guys should be ashamed. Prison rape for the whole lot of 'em.

I know I'm rezzing this thread but I absolutely have to plug these things. Nonni's Biscottis. They are so freakin delicious I'm having my third today now. They got a good crunch to them, a mild nutty/coffee flavor with a light layer on the bottom of bitter dark chocolate. Trust me, if you see these things in the grocery store snag a box for yourself immediately as a little morning snack or what not. You'll thank me and wonder how you could ever question a young slug such as myself.
