  1.  

    Played The Legend of Zelda on NES last night.

     

    Now this in my brain all day:

     

     

    And now it's in mine, NES emulator here I come...

     

    On a game related note, broke out the Rock Band set the other day and A7x Nightmare has been in my head since:

  2.  

    This is a good place to put the "Linus Ullmark can dance" video that Kris Baker posted earlier this week:

     

     

    If dancing ability was an indicator of hockey ability then I'd be....well I'd still be playing on a B-level Men's Hockey team *silent tear*

  3. Something smells fishy...Rover's Morning Glory (morning radio show here in Rochester) had a few people call in, one a fellow soldier that went out on the recovery missions (different unit didn't know Bowe personality) said why in the hell should this deserter see his family again when 6 service men will never be able to see theirs because they had to go out looking for this guy and got killed.

    Amen. I've always hated crowds, but that hatred rose exponentially since I've had to deal with a blind left side. If I ever get caught in a situation where I have no choice but to enter crowded area, my wife instinctively gets on my left and doesn't leave my side.

    I've never minded crowds, I do get annoyed when it takes forever to get a drink cause the bar is packed.

     

    I especially like crowds when there is music playing live and everyone is enjoying it, or the vibe of a packed sporting event. Both have similar group "hive mind" energy going on. Went to a Wolfsburg vs BVB game when in Germany and it was packed and awesome, I was like two rows up from the locals drum pit.

     

     

    Not a huge fan of tattoos on a girl, but it all depends on how many/where they are really. No face, no neck, and no lower back, just my opinion though.

     

    Ironically enough though, I love a girl with piercings, or at least the right ones. Ears, the Monroe, breasts, belly button and nose ring especially...I don't know what it is, I just find them really attractive. As long as there aren't 40 or so of them, I'm all for it.

    Some tattoos I find add to a woman's attractiveness, my wife has thin vine going from her foot to ankle and I think it is very tasteful and looks awesome.

     

    My best man at my wedding has a rib tattoo that looks like someone pealed back the skin revealing the muscles, veins, and such and it looks amazing it really fits his personality. It will no doubt look awkward when he gets old.

     

    Most tattoos that would prevent a person from a job as a bank teller I dislike; face, hands, neck included. Any tattoo of a face looks like crap, I don't care who has it or who it's of.

     

    I feel the same way about piercings, if it wouldn't prevent you from getting a job I probably find it attractive. I do have a fondness for nipple piercings, the simple bar type most of all.

     

    That said I have nether and have no plans to get one. Would probably get a "13" tattoed if I did though.

    Whatever you enjoy drinking. Having said that, the weather is warming. I like beers that are lighter on the palate in warmer weather. Lighter pales and bitters work well. So do 60 shilling Scotch ales. Pilsners if you have the ability to ferment at lager temps are a given. Or, if you can ferment on the cool side a cream ale is glorious on the deck in Summer.

     

    Or, brew up one of my favs, a saison, and invite me over for a beer. :P

    I wish I had the capabilities to lager a beer, making a doppel bock would be awesome

     

    Most of my brewing has been from recipe kits, I found a saison du mont recipe but I'd be ordering the ingredients loose...might have to try it

     

    Welcome!

     

    Here's a good one. I do everything right-handed except I am lefty at beer pong. I had surgery on my (right) throwing should immediately after college graduation. I guess I played a bit of beer pong that summer and just continued it going lefty. I've was never that great at it anyway (lefty or righty). I was more of a flip-cup stud :D

    Everyone is all about beer pong might have to get back to some flip cup...left or right handed :)

    Welcome, Otto!

     

    Not exactly the same as handedness, but I ride regular stance for snowboarding 95% of the time (anytime I'm using an edge) and prefer goofy stance when I'm riding flat / head-on.

    I'm all goofy when in comes to snowboarding both in stance and form...I'm better with skis, playing hockey translates over

  6. Figured this was a good as a thread as any to break out of lurker mode

     

    1. Been lurkering unregistered for about a year, recently registered to lurk more and this is my first post.

     

    2. I'm certified in 7-12 English and Special Ed. - I co-taught a 9th grade English class with the same teacher I had in High School. One of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

     

    3. I've always had the number 13 in sports except one season in college hockey that I was 27 because a senior already had the number.

     

    4. I like (bordering on obsessive need) to research any purchase over $100, often spending weeks comparing products or reading reviews on the Internet. Doubly so when it's an electronic purchase; PC parts are the worst. Golf purchases are probably second, either way it annoys my wife to no end.

     

    5. My current position has me traveling the same amount of time that I actually work.

     

    6. Writing on a vertical surface impairs my spelling to comical levels. This includes chalk boards, whiteboards, and the worst: SMARTboards.

     

    7. I play left handed in every sport, except throwing a baseball/football. I write right handed. I hold my utensils like I'm left handed when eating.

     

    8. I had at least five more when I hit reply that I've promptly forgotten.

     

    9. I'm drinking the last of my home brew Hefeweizen while watching the game tonight. Would love suggestions on what to make to make next. I'm growing some cascade hops to use later this year.
