I had this happen to me back in germany. I drove faster than the speed rating on the tire (~230Km/h) and it threw the tire out of balance. Definitely time for a new tire IMO.
I put 100$ on stars a while back toying with the idea of building a roll up. Let me tell you, I hate FR with a passion. Im just not a robot I guess. Anyways I lost some of the 100$ and decided to just gamb00l.Quote:

Harry Potter 7 is so unbelievably good. However, you cannot and should not read 7 before 6, and you also cannot read 6 without reading 7 immediately afterwards.
The movies only water shit down, I wonder why they did not make Harry Potter in some sort of Bleach/Naruto/DBZ like 1 million episode anime. I mean, all the material is there for the whol;e story ark, so new things should not have to be introduced like in the books, but can be seen in a very old episode or something. And once the whole story is laid out, they could even branch out to "Scorpius' Rise to Power" or something.
It could even be CG ala Clone Wars or something.

didnt run into anyone who played anything more than the very occasional home game. Kitchen folk are degenerates though.. soo.. And ya I would like to grind, but I just cant do it at FR. When I first started playing I played sngs, which are pretty fast paced and then I moved directly to 6max then HU. Fr is just such an insane snooze fest and feels very unnatural to me. However short handed micro stakes are almost pointless due to the rake, and hu would be even worse. But in the end these are all just excuse and if I really wanted it I probably should have stuck it out and patiently grinded it up at like 2nl or whatever, but its summer. Its too nice out to be stuck inside making 4ptbb/100 @ 2nl..Quote:

girls are so fucking nuts.
yes, yes they are.
yeah they are
My wife just bought a brand new "beach bag" for our Vegas/Jamaica trip that is coming up. It's all colorful, big, and VERY girly. Today, I'm hanging out with a bunch of friends before she plays volleyball and she's like, "here, hold this, I have to go get something from the car." Of course I held it, and of course my friends gave me tons of shit because it's girly and there are colorful butterflies on the thing. Why did she do this?
Was it because there are other girls around (there were lots of hot, beautiful girls in swimsuits btw), or was it a sort of, "yeah, I own my man so watch what I make him hold" sort of thing? WTF?
She did it because she knows you'll hold it.
Rule of thumb: never do anything trivial a woman asks you to do if she can do it herself unless sex will be a direct result.
Women have a sort of paradoxical desire* to get men to do trivial stuff for them, yet they don't realize that it can ruin relationships when they take it too far because it upsets the natural balance and attraction in relationships. Men naturally help people when asked because our male friends dont ever ask for trivial assistance, so we get fooled by women when they ask for trivial assistance since we automatically think that since they're asking it's not trivial.
This is Tom Leykis 101, and I have personally experienced the negatives that come about from the transfer of role and dilution of attraction that accompanies women being able to pawn off their trivialities onto men
*I use the phrase 'paradoxical desire' since the nature of female sexual attraction is just that. Evolution has been very simple to male sexuality, but for women, evolution really skewed things up. For example: over the last 20 or so million years, our female ancestry has played the sexual role of needing to be attracted to dominant badasses who don't take any shit from anybody while at the same time they needed to be attracted to caring and protective males who could provide them with security over a very long time. The catch is that one tends to hinder the other.
Without boring anybody with more text, I'll just say that a solid interpretation as to why women like to get men to do trivial things for them is because if they are successful it displays the male's care and the female's ability to dominate/influence, and this reassures them that the male is the kind that is going to stick around
in my instance I think it was like 80/20
80 -- female's ability to dominate/influence
20 -- displaying male's care
Could be wrong, but probably not. It's just funny how husbands/wives interact, I could tell almost any story, and have my friends nod and say, "yup, that's how it is." It's hilarious.
GMML you're next!

i may be naive, but i don't feel like female dominance applies in my relationship... at least yet!
gmmbb is a great idea if the time comes.
jeez, she did it because she just didn't want to take it with her and it was convenient to have you hold it! stop being a woman and overthinking things.
So there was this chubby girl walking in front of me today and her thighs kept rubbing together making this "zip" noise due to whatever material her pants were made out of.

On a serious note, I contend that a woman attempting to woo a man would not ask him to hold her girly object in front of his friends.

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Leaves
Just flipping through it and reading the 20 page intro coupled with my brothers testimony that you have to read every single word on every page have made me pretty excited to read this beast. And I'm pretty sure my excitement would be shared by a few people around here.
The inside cover says this:
Years ago, when house of leaves was first being passed around, it was nothing more than a badly bundled heap of paper, parts of which would occasionally surface on the internet. No one could have anticipated the small but devoted following this terrifying story would soon command. Starting with an odd assortment of marginalized youth - musicians, tattoo artists, programmers, strippers, environmentalists, and adrenaline junkies - the book eventually made its way into the hands of older generations, who not only found themselves in those strangely arranged pages but also discovered a way back into the lives of their estranged children.
Now, for the first time, this astonishing novel is made available in book form, complete with the original colored words, vertical footnotes, and newly added second and third appendices.
The story remains unchanged, focusing on a young family that moves into a small house on Ash Tree Lane where they discover something terribly wrong: their house is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.
Of course, neither pulitzer prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson nor his companion Karen Green was prepared to face the consequences of that impossibility, until the day their two children wandered off and their voices eerily began to return another story - of creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would teat through their walls and consume all of their dreams.
wait, what?
oh my tummy.
you should check it out, its crazyQuote:

The novel is also distinctive for its multiple narrators, who interact with each other throughout the story in disorienting and elaborate ways.
this actually does sound really cool, and may become the third book that Ive read all the way through..

all trendy ftr intellectuals should pick it up.
^^ Actually looks very intersting, just texted the gf to pick up a copy when she gets off work
I must be getting old, even though I'm only 24. I don't understand the fascination with twitter. I was talking to my cousin and asked her what it was. She said "You can follow people and keep up with what there doing constantly". So its like stalking someone? I'm curious as to why there is such fascination with knowing when your friend is going to the dentist. Goddamn kids these days.
Edit: Also while I'm waiting on her to get home to cook me dinner and blow me, I am trying to find the end of the internet. After reading some of 'Rilla's posts i am actually genuinely in awe of his wit. It's kinda like if Woody Allen and Leslie Nielsen had a kid and that kid fuckd George Carlin. 'Rilla would be their love child.
I don't get twitter either, but give it another year or two and I bet I'll be on the bandwagon. I used to freaking hate texting, like HATED it. Somebody would text me and I'd call them back, saying, "Yo, I don't do that, what do you want? Lets actually TALK about it instead of typing 160 words or less back and forth. Lets make this a 1-minute thing rather than a 10-20 minute thing."
Now I probably text more than I talk on the phone. Go figure.
I think most of the general population does
TrueBlood on HBO, thoughts?
Watched my first episode last night, and as a general rule I don't like much with vampires and shit. i.e Underworld etc. But I think I'm going to buy season 1 within the week.

That, and you can take your time with texting (usually), choose better words/emotions to convey, etc.
I'm a phone call screener to the max. If I don't recognize the number, sorry, it's going to voice mail. You want me to call back, you better leave one.
And actually, same goes for friends that call when I'm not around my phone or when I'm busy with something else. Leave a freaking message, tell me what's up so I know whether or not to call your ass back. Is it urgent, or were you just calling to shoot the shit? I'm not going to call your ass back and say, "Hey, what did you want?," only to hear you reply, "nothing really, just calling, now I'm busy." Or worse yet, I call you back and get YOUR voice mail, where I have to leave a message like, "Hey, you called me, didn't know what you wanted so I'm calling you back to see what it was," blah blah blah.
I texted you while at Fenway and you never responded...dick

The problem is, upon further investigation, AT&T simply declared war on the "unlimited internet" thing. AT&T would like that, current subscribers all get some sort of ridiculous 2GB cap, while anybody who goes over this cap has to pay like logarithmic prices. It first started with a New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo declaring war on the whole a.b. hierarchy, and then saying its because there is child porn there. He was backed by AT&T (and AOL).That's like to destroy the empire state building because a single ant was seen in the basement.
And so there have been many transgressions by AT&T in what was previously thought of as being in the name of censorship, but instead its all in the name of greed. In the "pay more or we block your shit" kind of greed.
TL:DR; Its a long story, but its not in the name of general censorship but rather greed. This is just a thing to put a cap on the internet, to limit what's unlimited, and then charge more for what you are already receiving.
