  1. I think you should out yourself. I'm about out of jokes and snide remarks to make about the women my hetero friends date and I could recycle the whole repertoire en masse to disparage a homo friend. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  2. There's actually a proposal now to take the fight to the pirates - on their home bases. Because as long as they are safe there, they'll continue to raid shipping forever. And it takes an inordinate amount of protection, to cover a lot of open sea, when they get to freely choose when and where to attack. So the ultimate solution is to attack the pirates at home and wipe them out. Wipe out their nests, and then you don't have to worry about the open sea anymore. How many people here are willing to approve of that strategy? I think it would be reasonable response from the countries whose ships are falling prey to these criminals. I don't think it should cost American dollars or blood unless they're taking over American-flagged ships. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  3. I remember speeding a lot to music in my youth. Music certainly has effect. Perhaps on a certain emotional level, but not so much on a cognitive one. In other words, it might make you more "excited" but it doesn't make you more "stupid." At least as long as you're not listening to country or rap. It's probably true that texting while driving increases the odds of my accidentally killing someone, but listening to country while driving would increase the odds I'd kill someone on purpose.

  4. Most days it's this, but sped up a bit Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  5. Looks just like you. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  6. Yankee - Am dragging anchor. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

  8. That line goes, "take away this ball and chain". I think the "same old ball and chain" was from one of the lipstick big hair bands like Poison or Ratt. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  9. I can't say on Dave, as the first several photos are on flickr, which is blocked at my work. On David, the first couple are of some other dorks, and then there's one of me. On my blackberry, the same picture of me shows up second, right after some group of people fishing (presumably relatives of mine). Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  10. Is it a bad thing that you now know that she poops? So you googled Poop Daisy? I think he had it in his Favorites. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  11. What if it isn't a "Caught" and it is more along the lines of - helped . . . I figured the helping bit was sort of a given, but you gotta catch them first. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  12. Maybe it's proof that beans are omnipotent. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  13. How about walking away with what's left of your dignity and moving on with your life? Given the way she betrayed him, I don't fault him for making her betrayal very public, and any humiliation she feels was brought on by her own actions. I can also see where it could be reasonable to consider the kidney when determining a fair division of assets, but I have absolutely no idea how one would assess a fair value for it. Edit to add: It appears the best thing this guy could have done would have been to let her die. He'd still have two kidneys and all his stuff, and as a bonus, he'd have avoided the emotional trauma of being betrayed by someone he loved. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  14. It seems the ladies are shy. Perhaps you'd get more answers by asking everyone how many times they've caught a woman wanking. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  15. Well at least this would be a bailout of an industry that makes products consumers actually want to buy. Of course that fact is also what makes such a bailout unnecessary. Maybe Ford, GM, and Chrysler should hire some porn execs to return them to profitability. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  16. You mean the same USC that's gone 10-0 in its last 10 games, winning them by a combined score of 380-80? The team that's 9-0 in its last 9 games again Big 10 opponents, including substantial wins this year against OSU and PSU? If USC hadn't stumbled in week 3, they'd be playing tonight and my money would be on them...but I agree with you about OSU. Buck the fuckeyes. And yes, I'm quite happy that my hapless Huskies have stolen USC's offensive AND defensive coordinators. Maybe we can win a game next year. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  17. Drive a couple hours Friday night, then relax for a bit & have hotel sex. Business meeting on Saturday followed by picking up my daughter & all her stuff and moving her in with us Saturday night. Outside of whatever shopping that last bit is going to require, I'd like to spend Sunday just chilling out. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  18. At what point are you assuming the perpetrator would have stopped beating the victim? Before or after death? And why should the shooter assume the same thing? When you apply violence to any particular situation, you should expect to receive it in return. This guy did, and while I'd prefer he have not brought this upon the victim and himself, I'm fine with how things turned out. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  19. There's not such thing as "regular." But of all the varying standards right I would guess 16:9 is by far the most prevalent, especially for new TV broadcasts. But if you were to watch a 4:3 show... it should be pretty obvious what would happen. You have two options: stretch or pillarbox. There's also zoom. My personal favorite rendition of run-of-the-mill TV that's broadcast in 4:3 is the combination of zoom/stretch that zooms center a little & stretches the corners a little...it fills the screen without too much distortion or too much chopping. I bought myself a new TV for my birthday last month and it doesn't have this option. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  20. If you've seen any movie on TV that was originally made for the "big screen", you've seen a movie that had the ends lopped off. What irritates me is that just as soon as HD was established to conform to a 16:9 standard, all the DVDs started coming out in even wider format, so we STILL get bars on the top & bottom, just not as thick. In another couple years, 16:9 will be today's 4:3 and we'll all be buy another new TV...but I suppose that's kind of the point. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  21. Apparently BART police shouldn't. A couple different videos have surfaced of a not-so awesome use of a gun...a cop shooting an unarmed man in the back, killing him while he was face down on the ground. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  22. This is exactly the thread I came here looking for. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  23. Twitchy/twitching = fun. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  24. Someone in management at work. I'm not sure who yet...maybe all of them. I just love it when VP types make a decision to stop a process without asking why or in what state it exists in the first place. Now that they've spent all the money they "saved" by stopping it, I'm left to pick up the pieces with zero budget and a price tag well above what it would have been if they'd taken 15 minutes to educate themselves (and picked a LOGICAL stopping point).

  25. I've felt the bridle graze my shin exactly once. I considered it a wholly unpleasant experience unworthy of repeating, so I added a step to my throw. I now reach and grab, pause briefly to ensure no unexpected rotation is starting, then extract and throw. I'd say on average the pause is less than half a second, but on the occasions that I do feel something I don't like, I let go of the drogue handle, fix us, then start over.
