Just remember that you can't breastfeed with pierced nipples, should you want to :-w *just remembered that the last girl he made out with had nine facial piercings, not counting the ears*

[hide]Three PPVs, three DQ finishes, this is really becoming annoying. This was a mediocre show at best, but it seems like it's the best WWE is capable of at the moment :| Oh well, at least Ring of Honor is putting out good PPVs (click the link in my sig).[/hide]

We have a PS1 and SNES in the TV room in my student club. Plenty of late night drunken Tony Hawk 2 and Killer Instinct :D

Congrats on getting them pierced. I personally prefer the more fancy ear jewellery, stuff like this:

As much as I hate the stereotypical rap lyrics, it's not government's place to nanny us.

I love stretching my limbs after a long nap and feeling my circulation go back into high gear... never had anything quite as serious as you seem to have though. Only comparable experience for me would be black spots for a few seconds after getting up.

I'm already working on starting my dream job. I'm in my second year studying archaeology :D

Wow, some of those domains were claimed all the way back in 2003... guess it's been coming for nearly four years. I guess that means they'll have plenty of content right of the bat. Best of luck to them I guess, hope it becomes as big a success as Runescape.

"Elect the Dead" reminds me of the Lewis Black bit where he suggested that we'd reelect Reagan. I'll definitely have to check it out.

Place your hand flat on the table, then try to lift just your ring finger as high as you can lift your index finger.

Yeah, I remember news posts that they'd buy all iron ore you'd mine at a fixed price...

The MS Word spellchecker :-w Seriously though we don't do much Halloween at all over here.

Chatot is a weak gimmick Pok̮̩̉̉mon, you should train a Starly in stead. Misdreavus is pretty decent once you evolve it to Mismagius. I hope your Combee is female, since Vespiquen makes a great tank (Toxic/Heal Order/Roost/Attack Order or Power Gem). If it's a male, dump it and catch a female, since it doesn't evolve. Luxio is alright, as long as it has Intimidate as its ability in stead of Rivalry. Prinplup is pretty great all around. As for me, I downloaded a rom of Pok̮̩̉̉mon Fire Red to decide whether I would buy that or Emerald, and I have to say that besides the nostalgia, it really doesn't offer much and seems way too easy. I blazed through six gyms in one sitting. My team after beating Sabrina: Charizard (lvl. 46, Flamethrower/Aerial Ace/Dragon Claw/Metal Claw) Primeape (lvl. 45, Brick Break/Cross Chop/Focus Energy/Rage) Snorlax (lvl. 47, Body Slam/Earthquake/Rest/Sleep Talk) Dugtrio (lvl. 44, Magnitude (will be Earthquake)/Dig/Tri Attack/Slash) Vaporeon (lvl. 45, Surf/Water Pulse/Ice Beam/Haze) Parasect (lvl. 48, Substitute/Spore/Giga Drain/Slash) My Parasect is especially entertaining. Spore, Substitute, replenish life with Giga Drain. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Marathon skating (>200km) is where it's at :D

I wonder if those people complaining that this game was racist because it featured a white man shooting black zombies in Africa will kick up more of a storm when the game comes out...

:-w

The problem though is that a zombie infestation would be very hard to contain, especially something like the T-Virus which affects flora and fauna. Infecting a city might eradicate the population, but it's way too easy for the infection to spread beyond the desired area of effect.

I'm just waiting for the first Jack Thompson to start blathering on TV about how this is just another way video games train children to be professional killers.

Good to see some people are still capable of occasional outbursts of decency...

Meh, over here there's no halloween tradition beyond what the shops try to push on us... some of those pumpkins are really nice though.

I listen to a lot of standup comedy, although I'm kind of on the wrong side of the Atlantic for it. I'll take pretty much anything I can get. A few weeks ago somebody made me listen to a Jeff Foxworthy album, and when I listened to it, I felt intellectually insulted by the way he refused to call a penis a penis. He had two jokes about it, and in both cases he wouldn't even address it by its name, just call it a "yoohoo" or some stupid euphemism you'd use when talking about a penis to a five year old. Now I don't need him to use the various four letter slang words that are available as an alternative, but if you won't even use the word that adults use for it in everyday conversation, you don't take your audience seriously enough. It wasn't bad enough that he was promoting a culture that prides itself on ignorance and bigotry, but he had to do it in a way that made it seem like he thought we were a bunch of toddlers. On the other hand you have guys like Jim Norton (Mostly known from the Opie and Anthony show). All he seems to be able to talk about how much he spends on prostitutes and what he wants to do to various groups of people he hates. He's still pretty damn funny, but his subject matter is rather narrow. It seems like he doesn't have much to say beyond "I love prostitutes and I hate ". Guys like Mike Birbiglia are wickedly funny in their own way without resorting to the F-word every other word. He'll call things by their name without resorting to obscenity. It seems that this middle line is pretty rare in modern standups, and if I had to choose between Jeff Foxworthy and Jim Norton I'd choose Jim Norton every time because even though he doesn't have much to say, he still thinks of his audience as mature people who don't need to be sugarcoated. I think Lewis Black said it best when he said: "They told me not to use the F-word. Well what am I supposed to say? This is the language adult people use to deal with setbacks. When you get fired two days before retirement and lose your health ensurance and your pension you don't go sit on the couch and say: "Oooooooooooh [kitty]feathers... sassefras sassefras sassefras..." The healthy reaction would be F----------------------ck!"

ForsakenMage is in Riverside, so she should be safe for now... no idea about any other forumites. Good luck to all of those closer to the flames I guess.

Time travel paradoxes are pretty mindmelting... Let's say you want to know what it's like to commit a murder. You take a time machine trip back to some random city somewhere in time, kill, and come back. Then you go back to five minutes before the murder and stop yourself. Will you still have the experience?

What's wrong about selling coffee to teenagers?Are you serious...? If so... the word coffeeshop is a euphemism for a shop that sells pot. They're really nice usually, good music, wide selection, good customer service, nice ambience...

I don't think I've ever had problems with impaired judgement when high. It slows my reaction speed, but it doesn't make me as reckless as alcohol would. I've never been out in traffic while high. It does change the way how I think and perceive my surroundings. The morning after is generally a lot more doable too. Again, it's mostly about using it responsible.
