Actually we had modified the rules of S&F so you can in fact show pictures of yourself shirtless as long as it is in an appropriate context.

Favorite thing about the opposite sex?
Female Alfred E. Neumans are not physically appealing. Neither are normal Alfred E. Neumans. Weirdo. Redheads PWN STFU Yeah, I don't think so.. The only redheads I remotely find attractive are girls that dye their hair a dark red.

Skateboarding to get fit
I can say from my personal experience that skating does not do a whole lot. It'll only really get the leg you push with buff.

Underground Hiphop
You have a wrong impression of the genre. Underground hiphop is labeled as it is because its not the mainstream. The culture is heavily influenced in the music, where the artists would make a positive and project a good image for the genre instead of marketed music. You would see much more creative beats, interesting lyrics and you won't have a hook every 64 measures in the the song for filler. Its not because they haven't made it, its because they choose not to and feed the fans of what they want to produce and not what the industry expects of them. Well clearly if its not mainstream it most likely wont have a label, or is signed to an indie label. Also when artist aren't mainstream they usually aren't wildly know outside their home region (City/state). When I say conscious hip-hop I'm talking about artist with meaningful lyrics, etc. You can say underground but that could cover anyone who hasn't made it big. The two overlap, don't get me wrong, I just feel the impression that this topic is more about conscious hip-hop rather then just underground in general. I don't see why you're so set on labeling a genre, rather then appreciating or talking about it. Now it just sounds like you're trying to be politically correct or picking a fight. Its been established as underground hiphop, no more, no less. Yes, the terms overlap but fans will not make that same mistake. Yes, it is Concious Hiphop however it is referred as Undergroup Hiphop. Are you even a fan of the genre? I can see how it seems that way since I didn't make any artist I listen to but I'm a fan of more conscious hip-hip when it comes to hip-hop/rap music. I guess I am trying to be more political correct then anything though but I'm not trying to pick a fight with you. As far as underground hip-hop goes (under my definition I suppose) I don't really know any artist that are underground but I know more indie hip-hop and some mainstream artist instead that I would consider conscious hip-hop artist. I listen to a mix of indie rock and some hip-hop music in general so when I label music I tend to use more indie rock terminology.

Underground Hiphop
Underground hip-hop are like regional artist that haven't made it/ acquired a record label. At least thats what I think of when you say underground hip-hop. Conscious hip-hop is probably what your considering underground though as it generally has a smaller following.

FaceBook games and Proxys
I'm going out on a limb here and going to say that if facebook won't let you play two games at once or the same game in two different windows at once then they probably don't want you to so trying to do so through a proxy would be breaking some sort of rule and proxy (especially free ones) aren't very safe imo so I'm going to go ahead and lock this thread.

No, you can plug it into a computer or laptop and it will charge if you don't want to have the PS3 on. Aka anything with a USB port.

The Official PS3 Thread
You guys just need to wait stores still need to restock from Christmas shoppers. I always think it is funny how many people run out the day after Christmas expecting stores to be magically restocked with everything.

Cavs won a much need game tonight against the Suns on the road. Next game is Friday against the Laker. I'm super excited to watch that game! My best friend is the hugest Lakers fan so bragging rights are on the line until they meet again at the end of January.

I'm leaving...
If anyone needs anything done around The Gallery while Shinny is away, shoot me a PM and I'll get on it ASAP. It may take me up to 24hrs to respond because I'm also on break until the 13th of January so activity around the forums is down to a minimum.

What do you need, and what do you want? What I need would be like a new pair of vans. Something I want would be like Uggs slippers or like a pen tablet.
