Hmm, I wonder if white slurs are illegal.

Hot Tub Time Machine. Hilarious.

You can do it!

That is weird, isnt it? I always noticed it with UK bands. Like you listen to the Beatles talk in an interview and they clearly have the accent yet when the sing theres no accent at all.

Today is my last day of work before taking a four day vacation to the glorious Wisconsin Dell's, the self titled "Waterpark Capital of the World!". Im pretty stoked.

I was hoping the OP would make good on her offer to post the obituary but no luck. A quick Google search including "obituary, michael, 13 jun, Ames Iowa" produces this result which seems to support his general birth date and death date, but no details, so I dont know if its actually our guy.

Yeah, in an attempt to become more versatile, Ive started playing a Tech. Kinda fun and not too hard but I miss the firepower of being an Officer. Still havent tried being the Medic.

Come gather 'round the fire while Gfted1 tells a tale. Back in the day, when BGII was still wet behind the ears, a yarn was spun by a poster known as 6'8" Italian Warlord that told of a Tarrasque. This fearsome beast was reported to be a special encouter in the Oasis and this story took on a life of its own, still being retold to this day. Of course, there is no tarrasque in BGII.

I love the Vindicator, I use it almost exclusively. There is something very satisfying about clearing an entire hallway with one blast. About the only time I switch back to the MG is during the cargo lift phase where you have to shoot the swarms off the ceiling or if one of the Shield bugs comes out.

Or worse, when they sit there and drill you in the back with machine gun fire. Did the first promotion yesterday and then found an awesome group to complete the campaign with. Got the achievement "Perfect" (take no damage during an entire map) which I was shocked to see. Fun game but a bit of a pain to get a good group. Also, nobody wants to be the healer or technician.

The developer comments address that.

CRIT for double damage! Ouch man, genuinely sorry to hear that.

Heh, I forgot all about SoDOFF. Joined.

Thank god you said that, it was really bugging me that I couldnt find that term on Google.

Was the breakup fairly recently?

Pardon me while I hijack the thread for a sec with my own question for the Brits. What will happen when the queen dies? Will the senior prince become king or is there some system where there will now only be queens and there is some other woman waiting to become queen?

Lol, I had to look that term up. I had no idea that even existed. Why on Earth would women find that interesting? What post? >_ I kid. I removed my own post as it seemed like I misunderstood WUE, but now I see I didnt.

Besides being a collosal waste of time and resources to accomodate 20 people that want to fap to a male dwarf, me either.

Oy, you've got that right, particularly in Illinois. Our state is challenging California in the race to see who can have the largest defecit and our schools are some of the hardest hit because of it. There is literally a sign posted to the front door of my daughter school which keeps a running tally of how far behind the state is on providing state funding, currently around half a million, iirc. And thats applies to every school in the state.

Nah, the reason is that every single group that whines hard enough has to be represented. Its the same thing with homosexual romances, gotta please that .1% of your market.

Come on out to Barrington, we'll get your son all snooty in no time, lol.

Heh, sandals just dont look like a good choice in footwear for police officers. You coulda outran her!

As mentioned earlier, the quality of the schools in the US is based heavily on how affluent the town its in is. Richer towns (taxes) have more money to dedicate toward their school systems. If that is your major sticking point it would be much cheaper to send your child to a private school then to roll the dice on finding a "better school system" in another country.

Im not a Brit but wouldnt your choice of cities be influenced by what you are doing for employment? Gotta live close-ish to work, right?

Am currently in the middle of a bathroom rehab. Doing the downstairs half-bath and did the demolition over the weekend. Removed the mirror, sidesplash, countertop and sink. I was really sweating the mirror breaking so I taped it up like crazy with duct tape, donned safety glasses and leather gloves and went to work with a 6" putty knife tapping it behind the mirror all the way around. To my astonishment, just as I tapped the last corner, it popped off the wall just like you see on the home improvement shows. Same for the side splash and counter, just break through the liquid nails holding everything on and they pop right off. Finished patching, sanding and painting, now I just need to get the granite countertop and backsplash trimmed down a bit and then I can mount it and be done.
