  1. It is DEFINITELY ON. I have procured the use of a new MSR 4 season tent and I fully intend to show people how we party GREEK STYLE! wait...that didn't come out right.
  2. Love being a independent contractor and having a home office. That said, I do try to do SOME work throughout the day.
  3. During a snow day someone (from a neighboring city no less) took my sisters sled and made her cry. I dispensed with him with EXTREME prejudice. I never backed down even in the sixth grade.
  4. .... Kingfisher is also a good beer I like that subtle smokey flavor KF has. Gimme some good samosas, pakoras, and a masala dosa, wash it down with some KF....and I am one happy dude.
  5. I was sorta goofin about the safety Q. I thought of the passage in Neal Stephenson's novel CRYTONOMICON where a guy's boss is telling him to run for his life if they try to put him on an Airbus while he is on his way to southeast asia. Hey, I am the unofficial king of non-sequitors. Happy New Year.
  6. Flying to Phoenix from midwest. Should I fly Boeing 737 or Airbus A320? roomier? safer? Am I the only one who feels nervous getting on a plane WITHOUT a parachute (or two?)
  7. The Set list was a little short because it was a Music Festival but this was it... Quote short...SHMORT. he didn't play american girl? whoa...........
  8. 0 : 0 : 0 work, work, work, and more stinkin work (I am taking a break from paperwork just to write this)
  9. had a gf once who would not stop about my eyelashes. obviously, after years of confirmed heterosexuality (not that there's anything WRONG with that), I was a little nervous about this. Then she admitted that because she's asian, her eyelashes were half buried under her lids. poor thing...
  10. I thought I was was taking some antibiotics from her house and she called ... Turned out it was valium... this is after the Jeager....
  11. The only other thing is my GF's box wine and there is no way I'm drinkin that! Right there with ya. Even drunk, there are somethings you just shouldn't do. I use Yaeger for when I run out of antibiotics.
  12. I want a rat monster! It's so cute! I could teach it to pack for me. GREAT idea.....like the BATHROOM MONKEY skit on SNL. "monkey hate clean"
  13. nice friend............... "with friends like you, who needs friends" from RUSHMORE
  14. dude, you outta alcohol? I am making some headway on a nice bottle of shiraz. pretty good if ya want to know the truth.
  15. Okay, this cleveland weather is getting too cold too damn fast. (and I am tired of missing out on all the Boogie-woogie-woogie fun) What is the tent/shower/bathroom/food situation like at Sebastion? (this trip is gonna be down and dirty cheap so I can jump my ass off)
  16. dude, you are SWIMMIN in new gear this year. kewl beans and enjoy.
  17. Hair color is like paint, the easiest thing to change. I know what you mean about other names considered, I was excited about Clive Owen. That said, when I gave it serious thought, I didn't really think he was right for the role. In some ways he is too serious and too good an actor, if that makes any sense. Sometimes what an actor brings with them, their cache if you will, can be a detraction. Finally, he may be to you (and me untill recently), but trust me, he is far from an unknown. http://imdb.com/name/nm0185819/[/url]
  18. I like Daniel Craig. Why do you think he's a bad choice?
  19. Besides, if it was a good foreign film, it wouldn't even have English dubbing. Hong Kong filmmaking is all about the export potential. When I watched "Infernal Affairs" (the inspiration for Scorsese's current project "The Departed") in Taiwan, the movie was in Cantonese, with both chinese AND english subtitles.
  20. yoooooooooou B-A-S-T-A-R-D!!!!!!!!!!! Give Michael Schumaker and his millions my best! Don't eat any poultry!
  21. Given my avatar, I am afraid to vote and/or say much.
  22. Oh yeah, that reminds me. Cambozola ROCKS. I get the big packages at Costco. Mmmmmm... time to go to Costco. My Costco just started carrying Stilton and it was not at all bad. Yeah, time to go to Costco.....
  23. Chet Baker "My Favorite Songs, The Last Great Concert" Vol.1
  24. This movie RULED!!!!!!!!!!! Great story deeply personal awesome political allegory mocking THE MATRIX was incredible homage to Bruce Lee was amazing and the characters... Chow gets better with every outing. I agree, forget about dubbing. Cantonese is so unique, gutteral (sp?) while managing to be musical. Finally....."Hero" is awesome, but different. Truth be told, they are both great because they were both successful, ya know? Ya gotta give Zhang Yimou credit for reinventing himself and doing justice to any kind of story.
  25. Hope to do some camping and need advice on equipment, etc. Would welcome recos for the equivalent of DZ.com or any other good source. thanks an advance!
