  1. Hence, why "so's your face" is the far superior joke. Your face can't die; it can melt, but it can't die.
  2. Why does that matter? So just because you're from America, you have to follow the wrong norm? Why not decide for yourself which makes more sense, and then call it whichever you choose? Sorry, but why is it 'wrong'?
  3. It's been a pretty slow start to this season, IMO. Mind you, I thought that for last season and then it really picked up brilliantly.
  4. When you consider the industry is nothing but a business now, Beef is doing wonders for it.
  5. What do you guys think of my logic? (Here, not in general. THAT I already know >.<) Because I've only recently started the game, and I'll only experience this one PvP system (seeing as the others are redundant), do you think I'll be as aggrieved as many of you are?
  6. What did you expect? A band of players who've only ever trained together for 2 days to win?
  7. Pray tell, I would love to hear your definition of 'normal'. You don't mean straight now, do you? Gay men have asked me out and most of the time, I've been flattered. Bit of a stereotype here, but gay men are pretty picky with looks (no offence intended), so I take them asking me out as a compliment. Besides, they're better looking than some of the other women I've met. :uhh:
  8. I say 'Football' because that's what it's called in England. In America it could be said as 'Soccer' because of American Footie, in Oz because of Ozzie rules or whatever. The game might have been born in England, but that doesn't mean anyone terming of the game is 'more correct' than the other. They're just different derivitives, that's all.
  9. There's absolutely no chance of this happening. Don't worry.
  10. That's a great bit of underrated advice. Play on your own PC, download anti virus', a firewall and spyware, don't visit suspicious sites, and you'll be safe.
  11. The worse thing that will happen will be that YouTube might have to run some fee-based system, rather like Google Video does now for some of its videos. Saying it's the 'end' is one hell of an exaggeration.
  12. Surely, you should be able to be friends with both crowds. If one crowd doesn't want you to be friends with the other, then you know who your true friends are.
  13. 1971 for me. A tough one, but when you consider the Umpa Lumpa song, you'll find the answer.
  14. What, you've never seen it? Back...And to the left. Back...And to the left. Back.....And to the left. So, the spit could only have come from the front, and to the right?
  15. Super Mario Bros. 2 - I don't care if it flopped, you can't leave a film with Bob Hoskins in it on a cliffhanger!!
  16. Hello. I am that leopard-clad-scouser, who ran the London Marathon last year, whom everyone keeps talking about. First of all, good for you. Lots of people talk a good show about wanting to run a marathon. Some people, like the good folk here at tip.it, admit it could be beyond their capabilities, and there's nothing wrong with that. Having a will and desire to want to run is the first step, so well done. Second, there's preparation. Preparation, preparation, preparation. The most you can do is to physically prepare yourself to run a marathon. Develop endurance-cardio fitness (being able to respirate constantly for long periods of time) by going on increasing runs, having strict days of recovery (often overlooked), and so forth. The website you linked has great programs for this, and it's no lie or exaggeration that training can take 4 months. I'd say 4 months at least. Despite all this, nothing will prepare you mentally for the event. It's really a rollercoaster of emotions: Excitement, anticipation, fatigue, exursion, exhaustion, euphoria, all compressed within one race. It's seriously, seriously taxing, but the best thing (I found) to do is to enjoy them all. Take in the event and its emotions and learn from them. Embrace encouragement from the crowd that will make you happy, and accept the tiredness you'll feel after miles of racing; there's no shame in doing so. One thing you could really benefit from, especially at your age, is running a half marathon a month or 2 before the actual marathon. As you can tell, it's half the length (approx. 13 miles), and it's really done in halves throughout. Half the emotions etc. But a great learning curve and unrivalled experience to the marathon conditions. At some point in the race, you will hit the wall. 'Hitting the wall' is where the body stops, briefly, all energy building (respiration, aerobic and anaerobic) due to sheer workload, and will run on what the body has produced without producing any more energy for a period of time. There are things you can do to reduce this downtime, delay the wall, and lessen it's effect, some things which people here have already posted. Most importantly, you need to keep hydrated. If you feel thirsty, then realistically, it's already too late to hydrate. That's why at every available oppurtunity you should drink. Water, primarily, and some sort of isotonic drink. The best one would be gatorade. It has the right combination of sugars to give the most efficient carbohydrate build up in the body (basically, it's the best!). Next, would be lucozade, which is still quite effective. As for powerade, it's pretty much useless. It provides hardly any benefit, and will probably do more damage than good, due to it taking up more space where water could fit in. Hitting the wall is both physical and mental. Your legs could turn to jelly and your brain could be shouting at you to "STOOOOP!!". Don't stop. Keep running. That's all I can say. If this helps at all, think of this: It's far more painful to stop running, and trying to start again, than to try and keep running. Finally, gather support for the race. People you can take with can be a nice boost. Personally, when I announced I was running last year on these boards, I got a massive response from tip.it. People were donating to the charity I was running for, I got posts, private messages and emails of encouragement, I even got cards from some tip.it'ers in England and Internationally showing their support. I just want to say again, to all of you, thank you so much. More thanks than I can put into words. You really helped me through that day, and I hoped you all had a good chuckle at the picture of me the BBC put on their website! :P That's all I can think of for now. Feel free to PM me with any more help and I'll be happy to help you out. Same for anyone, too. Now, Run To The Hills! :D
  17. Lots more stuff starts to happen once you begin to believe in the supernatural. Coincedence? Imagination? Revelation? Who am I to say?
  18. Only when I've beaten it. It can be a lot of fun to smash through brains in God Mode, but not very satisfying.
  19. Hit me with a ditto on that. Exactly the same for me.
  20. Liverpool/Celtic fans seem to have a good relationship :) LOL, yeah well we sing all the of the same song... Walk Alone and Fields of Athenry. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: There's always been links. Right when Liverpool FC was born, most of the players brought to play were taken from Scotland and, in particular, Celtic.
  21. What was the point of that? Why does one set of cirumstances make it out to be more tragic. Death is death. How it happened or why it happened doesn't detract from the impact it has on a person. So please, don't try and make this into a competition. You're both as 'helpless' as each other. Neither could prevent it. Neither were held responsible to prevent it. Both should be equally mourned.

    erm....more?

    Trying to make out like he was doing something about it, while trying to re-write history in saying that Clinton didn't do anything about Bin Laden. Gee, I wonder why?
  23. Oh c'mon. Rocky IV. Rocky smegging Four. Hearts on Fire. East vs West. Death of a loved one. Triumphing over adversity x 100. Saved by the Bell couldn't have made it any easier.
