Trainwreck syndrome. You know it's going to be horrible, but you have to watch the crash and burn.

Eh, some of us don't care about Valentine's Day. I don't need a holiday to tell my wife I love her. The best part of Valentine's Day is the day after, better known amongst our family and friends as 1/2 price Chocolate Day.

I've got nothing against the trash talkin', but I'm a Steelers fan first and foremost, so that's who I'm rooting for.

Easily one of the most exquisite to behold vehicles EVER. That said, my dream car is old school muscle. 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS (blue, with white rally stripes). [img]http://www.quaiswaseeq.com/top-5-muscle-cars-of-all-times/muscle_cars/1969-chevrolet-camaro-ss.jpg[/img] I don't know exactly what it is. I really could not tell you. But I love these cars.

[quote name='AvalonAngel' date='25 November 2010 - 02:52 AM' timestamp='1290678724' post='702172'] [font="Tahoma"]So, we got more Snow for Turkey Day! I'm glad when it snows on holidays, but mannnnn I do not like shoveling it now. Where's my desert?[/font] [/quote] Down here in Phoenix. So glad to be out of the snow of PA. Although it's supposed to be below freezing tomorrow morning, which I am NOT looking forward to.

I utterly refuse to get a flu shot. I've only gotten one once (back when I was like 7 or 8), and it was the only time in my 25 years that I actually got the damned flu (and it got me bad too).

I apparently picked the wrong day to sit and watch an entire Steelers game....90 yards worth of penalties makes Steelers fans very angry.

I don't even want to consider how long I've been here, though I have always been an off-and-on visitor. I was actually part of the forums before the reset (I believe as MoyakuKeramushe, though it may've been MaverickWolf, as I was using both at the time). I'm not even sure how I found this place or why I joined (I think somebody from the old Planet Community may have introduced me), and I always get a kick out of it when I realize that some of the people I look at as veterans have technically been here less time than I have (including Gavin, apparently).

[quote name='chibi-master']Also, if the planet doesn't have enough oxygen for humans to breathe, then how did all those fires keep going for so long?![/QUOTE] [FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="DarkGreen"]I'm not the only one!! I didn't notice it when I watched it for the first time in IMax, but when we watched the DVD the other day, I asked the exact same question (no one in the room had an answer...).[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="DarkGreen"]I am apparently horribly jaded....We get a picture of a pretty girl with a guitar, and I somehow notice the guitar BEFORE the pretty girl..... It is a nice picture...And I have been reminded that I have a guitar in my room that I really am supposed to be teaching myself to play....[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="DarkGreen"]Actually, the times like that where I really want to drink are the times I am the least likely to do so. While I do drink occasionally, I feel that having drinks because I really need one because I feel bad is a good way to start down a dangerous road (especially considering I stress out fairly easily), so I won't allow myself to drink when that's the reason.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="DarkGreen"][IMG]http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-1960-1969/1969-Chevrolet-Camaro-SS-blu-j-sy.jpg[/IMG] Sorry for the large pic. 1969 Camaro SS. Add white rally stripes, and it's even the right color scheme.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="DarkGreen"]We did have ketchup chips once upon a time. I believe they were from Herr's. I haven't seen them in years though. I prefer to just dip my regular chips in ketchup though. Better flavor that way. Though I'm a Yankee (or at least was raised one, live in AZ now), I have a definite leaning towards certain Southern foods. I have no idea how I got through 20 years without sweet tea. Seriously, it's like the greatest non-alcoholic drink on the planet, hands down. That said, I don't like Southern cornbread. Correction - I like northern cornbread way better. Cornbread was meant to be made with sugar (and I always get a kick out of the fact that us Yankees are the one that do it, considering the Southern tendency of having a little tea with their sugar). And grits are some of the most god-awful things in the frickin' universe. Fried chicken, on the other hand, is a wonderful, wonderful thing. I'm painfully happy that we have Popeye's and Chic-Fil-A down here in AZ (neither existed in PA, where I grew up). I have discovered that KFC should not be allowed to call their food fried chicken, as it doesn't do proper fried chicken justice. As for snacking, I like buttered popcorn with Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning to top it off. Usually require a box of tissue nearby, but it's soooooo good.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[quote name='pax et agape']It's too thin to do it now but not so long ago I was able to grow my hair quite long. Proof: [IMG]http://restlessones.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/tylor2.jpg[/IMG] This was about 4-5 years ago. Oh, and it is naturally that curly (whether I like it or not).[/QUOTE] I'd be fairly happy if I could even do that. My hair curls so tight that you have no idea how long it really is until it's getting cut. It's ridiculous. That way it's kind of Dierks Bentley, which I'd be OK.

[COLOR="DarkGreen"][size=1]Seriously, man, that hair would've been a damned fine reason to not be signing your life away. That said, best of luck with the marriage and the Navy, what with neither being the easiest things on the planet. NOTE: I am inherently jealous of any guy that can grow his hair to a decent length. I cannot get my hair to straighten, and end up with a 'fro instead, which just isn't cool.[/size][/COLOR]

[quote name='Gavin'][SIZE=1]I've heard carbonated water (soda water over here) and baking soda are supposed to work quite well. Probably best to ask an older relative (grandparent's generation or older), they tend to know a vast amount of ways to remove stains.[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]An easier method would be to roll the body up in the carpet and dispose of it.[/SIZE][/QUOTE] Hydrogen Peroxide is supposed to work really well too, but try it in a corner somewhere in case it causes discoloration or something.

John is right. Mass Effect is an Action RPG. And there is no getting around the RPG part of it. You level, actively upgrade your characters through more than just better items, and there is a load of interaction with NPCs (not to mention the sidequests). If Zelda (which I love) can get classifed as an RPG, then Mass Effect most certainly is, as it contains far more RPG elements than Zelda ever has. It is not an FPS, plain and simple. Over the shoulder third person is not an FPS, and controls very differently from an FPS. That said, I was not able to pre-order a Collector's Edition, which makes me angry, but I will be picking up my regular pre-order come Tuesday.

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="DarkGreen"]This is why I think people just need to stop giving a damn. People get angry or offended when celebrities do something stupid, like it's wrong that they made a mistake of any sort. They're people. They're not perfect. And quite frankly, their lives off of their respective playing fields (or other working venues) are none of our business.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[quote name='Lunox'][font=trebuchet ms] I grew up in a family/culture where hitting your kid for discipline is normal, so I understand why your parents do that. Just know that if you feel your parents are violent towards you in a way that is inappropriate and [b]born out of personal bigotry[/b], don't take it. I'm really glad that your counselor has taken the effort to help you out. [/font][/QUOTE] That bolded part is something to keep in mind. If it's because they think that somehow that disciplining is going to make you straight, then it's not discipline, plain and simple. Granted, a metal-lined belt is a bit past the lines of discipline if you ask me, but I won't get into that here.

[SIZE="1"][COLOR="DarkGreen"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Unfortunately, at least in the U.S., doctor/patient confidentiality does not apply when regarding your legal guardians if you're a minor. I believe there are a few exceptions to this, but I'm fairly certain ALL of them apply to counseling-style things. That said, Nerdsy probably has the best advice, and considering my temper, especially when I was your age, I've got nothing I can really add. If I had EVER run into an even vaguely similar situation at that age, I probably would've ended up in an actual fight with one or both of my parents, so.....[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="DarkOliveGreen"]I managed to hit my head (thankfully encased in a helmet) off of one of those low-clearance signs in a parking garage while at work today. It hurts, a lot. Walking in a straight line is currently an interesting trick...[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Green"]I am currently making myself quite happy with the complete Rush discography that is now on my iPod. Of course, it's lots of music to listen to....6 hours of it going last night, and I still am only like 1/2 through my playlist. Then I'll probably move to my Metallica discography.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[quote name='Humaru']Im not a Taylor Swift fan at all and lets be honest Kanye is way way better on the musical level. [/QUOTE] Actually, let's not, as that's a severe matter of opinion. Also, Taylor Swift is a country/pop star. More country than pop, admittedly, but quite a few country stars have pop crossovers (although I don't know how many of them regularly appear on both charts). Pop does see play on MTV (what little music it plays), so that's where the VMA comes from. Realistically, Kanye probably wouldn't shut up even if people stopped buying his albums. He'd just be loud and obnoxious about something else. People like that need to be dragged out of the public eye and hidden away somewhere, so as to stop insulting our collective intelligence.

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Green"]My standing record is just over a week, although I barely remember it, as I was much, much younger at the time (I only know it went that long due to family testimony). Some crap had happened and my little step-sisters were being paranoid, so I apparently decided that the big brother route to take was to just not bother sleeping so they could feel like someone was there at all times, just in case. In recent memory, my best is 4 days, and that was literally just because I could. Not sure I could even do the 4 days now, as that was still in high school, and I have issues staying awake if I go past 24 hours awake now. Thankfully, I still only require 5-6 hours of sleep.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
