If it wasn't for the fact that she is the one bringing these guys back to her place I would suggest that these guys may be engaging in a hogging competition. I knew a group of guys back in college that lived together who had a two month competition for $1000. The pot went to whoever banged the most weight during that time frame. I witnessed some rather large and often times much older women come through that house. :sick:

Ruthless bastards. I'd poke around here some.... http://www.term4sale.com/

I'm just getting over something similar. It lasted a good two weeks and I spent 10 minutes every morning coughing up some nasty stuff. My wife the NP was sure I had walking pneumonia, but she could never hear it in my lungs. It was probably something viral and with that I usually prescribe myself heavy doses of high gravity beer.

Absolutely you do. Although it sounds like this girl has little to no respect for herself, so it might be a tough go getting her to show any for your girlfriend. Installing a lock on the bedroom door might be a good idea.

Back to songs you can't get out of your head, I know I've been pushing these guys lately but they have literally put out an album full of songs that you can't get out of your head. It can be a bit of a problem when your wife catches you singing songs like this under your breath! :ph34r: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAvXHpLwJA4

I'm looking forward to the new Rush CD Clockwork Angles CD in 2012. If the two songs they already released are any indication this will be their heaviest album in years. BU2B rocks. All is for the best Believe in what we're told Blind men in the market Buying what we're sold Believe in what we're told Until our final breath While our loving Watchmaker Loves us all to death http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq7R65CYyb4

I brewed another version of my black ipa yesterday and got a late xmas present from a fellow homebrewer in the process. He visited family in Cleveland for Christmas and he brought me a six pack of Great Lakes Christmas Ale. I've never tried it, but based on the rave reviews here I might need to crack a few for the game tonight. I also received a bomber of Double Jack from Firestone Walker Brewing. Damn this beer is good. It's pretty darn close to supplanting Pliny The Elder at the top of my favorite beer list. Of course both of these are west coast beers that I can only get when I travel or have friends bring some back for me. http://www.firestonebeer.com/beers/products/double-jack-winter-2011

DMT1 it is, but it was called nramp2 when I was there. I would have welcomed an epidemiological study as an alternative to all the rad studies I did! I've worked with isotopes of Fe, Mn, Co, Cd, Zn, Pb and a few others. Working with cobalt was a bit disconcerting at the time since it's such a high energy gamma emitter, but my rad badges always came back good.

Sounds interesting. Back when I worked in academic research I was in a lab studying iron metabolism. We had an anemic rat model that displayed impaired iron GI uptake and transport in RBC's. It was eventually attributed to a missense mutation in a gene encoding a membrane associated divalent metal transporter. That's about when I left, but I should check and see where the characterization studies have gone since then. Now im in corporate research which is a whole different animal. There is a lot of glossing over the nuts and bolts of how things work in the effort to come up with the next big product. Congrats on the new job too!

Good for you! What's your research area?

That sucks. I have a friend who had something similar happen to him, only his wife cheated by switching teams and dating a woman. He moved out, but he has refused to grant her a divorce thereby preventing his wife from living under the same roof with her girlfriend and his sons.

Wow. Good on you, man. You have to be a prick of the highest order to shun your own flesh and blood like that. Sickening.

The answer to your question is an emphatic NO! My main complaint is distracted driving, I see a-holes texting, reading and applying make up all the time while driving, but yesterday I witnessed an overabundance of this idiotic behavior. As a victim of an a-hole distracted driver it really makes my blood boil when I see this. Anyone reading this who texts, reads or in any way does stupid ###### when you're supposed to be driving then I'm sorry you are an a-hole too.

Not only was I there, but I never left and then came back in like about 15,000 fans did. I wanted to leave at 35-3, but my dad convinced me to stay "until Houston scores again" and that of course didn't happen until 38-38.

Clever analogy and I get what you're saying. I don't think there is a poster on this board who doesn't believe a significant shake up is well past due for this team. However, based on public comments from Pegula and Black as well as some knowledge I had passed on to me from a family member who had the opportunity to candidly speak one on one for a few hours with Darcy back in September, I just don't believe that shake up will come in the form of changes at the top of the organization this year. I believe it will take them missing out on the playoffs for Pegs to re-think his "ain't going nowhere" line

Some things just are as they should be and need not be questioned.

Damn that sounds good. Celebration is such an awesome beer, I have a 12 pack in my man cave fridge calling my name right now. My neighbor got a deer a few weeks ago and brought down some venison sausage (along with some other interesting deer offal) last weekend. Great stuff. Also, for anyone who fondly remembers 80's metal I strongly encourage you to check out Steel Panther. The are an 80's metal parody band that puts out over ther top hilarious original albums and do note for note covers at their live gigs. They are currently on tour with Def Leppard and Motley Crue and from what I've read they are stealing the show. I can honstley say that they have better songs than the original groups that they parody. Check 'em out on youtube. http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/46208/Steel-Panther-Balls-Out/

:w00t: Nice. I guess that was officially announced today, but it won't take effect until March. For tonights game and Saturdays basketball game (#1 Syracuse at NC State) I'll be sitting in the luxury suites.

Exactly. Otherwise I'd be a hypocrite when I argue with Canes fans down here about why I don't root for them. I'm a Sabres fan because I was born and raised in Buffalo. I can't change that. My son was born here and should identify with the Canes if he wants to.

My sons Y guides tribe is going on an outing to the Canes-Canucks game tonight. I reminded my son this morning about it and he told me that he thinks he should root for the Canes from now on and not the Sabres. He is right of course, but it still came as a bit of a shock to hear it. As an aside, we took our daughter to Disney on ice last week at the RBC and I wore my Sabres jacket. I got disparaging comments about it from no less than three ushers at the RBC. I'll definitely be wearing it again tonight!

Wow. That's just brutal. I don't think I've worked anywhere when my boss hasn't been pushing me out the door come noon on the day before Thanksgiving.

Nice feeling isn't it? We own both of our cars and have seven years or less until we own our house and have zero debt. That will be a day to celebrate.

I got one of those a few years ago at a stop sign in my neighborhood for rolling through. He was there because people often didn't even roll stop they just considered it optional and would fly right through the damn stop sign. My day care was one block past the stop sign so I didn't get pulled over until I was out of my truck and getting my kids out to drop off at day care. He jumped out of the car and yells at me to get back in my truck, I thought he was about to actually pull his gun on me. A total douche. Anyway, so I take my ticket and decide even though I deserved it that I'm going to use the legal plan I have at work and fight the thing with an attorney hoping to at least get it reduced to a non moving violation. My attorney kept getting my court date pushed back until finally one day they called me and said it had all been dropped and they sent back my deposit. Didn't cost me a dime.

Another Steel Panther song from their brand new album. "Just Like Tiger Woods" Classic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wU-8X9GVIWk

I caught these guys when I was in Vegas a few weeks ago. They are a hilarious 80's hair metal parody band (with a shredding guitarist), and I can't get this one out of my head. Definitely NSFW. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra9DwnexkF0
