Well, I surely like them all, but my fave is definitely blue cheese, lately though, I've started liking just a simple olive oil and lemon juice on a salad. How about you guys? -Mag

hahaha what's your favorite thing out of this list.

I pressed "submit" on a post and got blinked into a pastel world with funky lettering I'm not much liking and can't get back! What's doing with this, and what to do about it?

Looked around ... surprised we didn't have one of these threads. If we've got one, mods can feel free to move this post. I'll start: My 15yo daughter and I live about 1/4 mile from the high school. She's the manager for the girls softball team. She also pretty much has her own apartment in the lower floor of the house. Guess what shows up at my place every day at about 6? Yeah, about half the girl's softball team and the gaggle of boys that follow them around. So I feed 6 to 10 teens reeking of hormones and sweat pizza or tacos most evenings. I don't mind it a bit though. April's had a tough couple of years living in California with her mom, and being back in Mo…

Anyone else been kinda interested in todays Dominique Strauss-Kahn reporting? http://media.nybooks.com/strauss.html (seems to be getting hammered and can't find a cached copy - summary: http://t.co/NZ4rbwHl ).

Root beer flavoured Bottlecaps candy ... yes, I know you can get these, but it's just not the same ...

I payed for upgrades to my amp in mid-december, but I still don't have it. I called last week and supposedly it's done, but I still haven't recieved shipping info as promised. What the hell do I have to do to get my amp?

I am more than happy that the Phillies are giving the Dodgers a drubbing, but a Phillies-Tampa Bay world series would be massively ignored.

I don't know why it took me so long to realize this but it occurred to me as I started to write this that I've been fundraising through rides like this every year that Andrew's been alive. That makes me both proud and feel rather old. So without further adieu it's that time of year once again where I call upon the incredible generosity and support of this community to help me raise money for the Kelly Brush Foundation. Nate's Donation Page This year is no different than years past, well other than the fact that I'm even later starting fundraising than normal and the ride is earlier than usual. So in just under three weeks I'll head north west into the …

Nobody wants Dougs Mini-Aleph Doug puts Amp on Ebay Auction gets two bids. Winn4r is edward.wills (294 Feedback) His bid placed 02-Dec-08 00:03:27 GMT Auction ended 06-Dec-08 20:15:00 GMT 9th December, Doug asks "When you gonna pay me lol?" edward.wills replies: "Hello, As don't have PayPal and I will never have - all paypal stuff are made by my best friend. I will remember him today to do it asap. If it's too long for you can sell it to the second bidder. It's really not a problem for me. Cheers, edward" Is there any way in which I can go about kicking this guy in the nuts for being a useless, time wasting, irritating little scab? I'm fairly ce…

So the wife and I have decided that we want out of NJ... problem is we have no idea where to go. We have had enough with the traffic, people, rudeness, and all the lovely things NJ is known for. We would greatly appreciate any thoughts or suggestions. As an aid the wife and I are more outdoorsy people than city people but still like nice restaurants and amenities near by. We are currently looking at Austin TX, Nashua NH, Harrisbug PA area...

I have a couple of items up on Audiogon. One item retails for $9000 (Still a current product) and I believe that I am asking a fair price of $5000. So I receive an offer for $3500. To me that is pretty serious Low Balling. Especially considering that the ad has only been up for a couple of hours. I could maybe see if the ad had been up for 3 weeks and the item hasn't sold yet, but for a new ad? If I were interested in a similar item I'd offer something like $4250 - $4500. A still substantial discount off the asking price, but not insultingly low either. So am I wrong in considering such an offer Low Balling?

I've seen this in some sigs, wtf is it? Is it like pretzels and the fuzz?

What's the forum policy regarding custom titles? They just appear and change suddenly? Who are the authorities here, anyway? I'm under the impression there's someone called Reks who acts a bit bossy, but several other members seem pushy and bossy as well. Is there anyone I can bribe in order to get a better title? I might be willing to cough up a NOS W11JPN or somesuch. A PFR-V1 is doable.

So, I admit I'm far from technologically savvy, but I can often read fairly well. I went to post a reply in the Neked Women Avatar thread and I see no reply button, no quote button...nothing. Do y'all not want my profound and erudite female perspective? Okay, even if not, why no buttons?

Mine changes fairly often, but if I were to win the lottery now, this would be my current dream system. My OCD need for matching is quite apparent. Vinyl setup... Acoustic Signature Typhoon/TA5000 Triangle ART P200 phono preamp Audio Technica AT-ART 20 DAC/Sources... PS Audio Direct Stream Mk2

It's hard for me to pick but I think this one takes the cake.

So recently, a friend of mine sent an MBTI test my way and I found out my type. Then I asked my close friends and realized that every single one (5/5) are the same type. I was wondering if we have the same bias in this forum. If I were to guess, I'd say it wouldn't be as predominant but there would still be a skew towards the same type. Please don't read up on the test before you take it because I think it would skew your results. Here's the test. http://www.humanmetr...win/jtypes2.asp I am I would expect most people to be

Oooh PFK running the Vistas. We need to give you flogging for that

Star Destroyer.net I've seen it mentioned here a few times, and ended up actually finding the address in a random screenshot that aerius posted. Looks like a scary forum! Problem is I think Star Wars is kind of stupid. But I think Trek kicks ass (especially tng and ds9). In short, what the hell is the story on this place? It looks like more OT discussion goes on then actual sci-fi talk.

pls advise

Since this is online and not television nor movies, I thought I'd post it in off topic:

I'm sorry if this is the wrong venue for what I'm about to say, or if this is inappropriate, but I'm just about fucking fed up with this Democratic Congress. What pushed me over the top was the FISA bill: if you haven't heard, the Senate passed FISA with the immunity provision. Now, as a self-professed liberal, I am fucking sick and tired of the current Democratic leadership. Time and time again they fucking capitulate and bend over for their opponents. When the fuck are they ever going to fucking grow some balls and stand up for once?!?! Man, I thought I was pretty skeptical about government when I was in school, but working in DC around the Hill has made me even…

I'm cheap and poor so I cant afford to buy music as often as I would like to so Where the hell can I get some classical musizz, son? Particularly looking for Prokofiev's violin concertos
