QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Feb 26, 2008 -> 04:54 PM) ...I was also in the original "Hairspray" movie. Were you the guy they found floating face down in Ricki Lake?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Feb 26, 2008 -> 12:21 AM) I passed out after four beers once. /end debate Who hasn't? I guess it depends on the size of the beer.

QUOTE(The Beast @ Feb 26, 2008 -> 12:42 AM) Do people even remember what happened the night before if they are wasted? Duh. That's what the Girls Gone Wild video team is around for – to save the embarassing drunken acts of co-eds for posterity.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Feb 26, 2008 -> 12:08 AM) I'm cereal. Well, my theory is that you get drunk all the damn time but then you black out and forget you have been drinking.

QUOTE(knightni @ Feb 25, 2008 -> 08:17 PM) Imagine if they had hair. Obviously Shipps' fingers have been drinking.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 25, 2008 -> 11:11 PM) See, that's the problem. I am an independent. I dont vote PURE democrat or PURE republican. Frankly, I cant stand Hillary. And while I dislike McCain, he will ware fast on America and get beat by Obama in 2012. I'll take my chances. I find that completely illogical. On a personality level, you find a candidate distasteful, but if her platform and views are so much more in line with those of the person you are supporting, how can you just shrug and be ok with someone with a radically different ideology winning in November? In the various conservative circles, you can bet there's a lot of talk about holding your nose and pulling the handle for McCain even if he's not an ideal candidate in a lot of people's minds. The Democrats and liberal-leaning independents need to be able to do the same thing if it comes to it.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 25, 2008 -> 07:46 PM) As of right now, I wont support anyone other than Obama. I'd have to look at people like Bloomburg or Nader just to see. But, I might just not vote for a president. This is the line of reasoning that will hand McCain the presidency if it takes root, especially as primary season gets uglier. What good is it to be one of the Support who you want to in the primary. Support the nominated Democrat in the general. Why is that so hard to understand? Any strategy other than this will put John McCain into the White House.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Feb 25, 2008 -> 10:34 PM) I may not come across this way, but I drink maybe once a month. It's not my scene either. :lol: :lol:

May 25th 1977 was the day that forever changed my 10-year old universe. That was the day Star Wars was released at it is easily the hands-down defining film of my childhood.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Feb 25, 2008 -> 01:15 PM) No, you never did tell me that. Does he have any good stories about it? Man, I would have LOVED to have seen that costume in real life. Yeah, he's got some good stories about 1950s Florida in general. He also worked on at least one of the sequels at Silver Springs don't remember which one. He's a retired marine engineer and I had no idea he'd done this until last year when I met him out for a couple of beers and he started reminiscing about the good old days. Ricou was born in the town I work in (Fort Pierce), but I think he met my friend John when they were both doing "mermaid training" at Weeki Wachee. I think he knew Ginger Stanley from her Weeki Wachee mermaid days as well. Hey, is there any more movement on the on again-off again reemake?

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Feb 25, 2008 -> 08:49 AM) They've always had a cut-off date, this is first year they actually posted it for everybody to see. I have a feeling that was in reaction to how many people have complained that "so and so" was missed. This way they are just explaining to everybody why their fave dead person got left out. Next year the two I am looking for: Ben Chapman - Played the land Creature in Creature From The Black Lagoon Maila Nurmi - Vampira I liked Transformers, but I was never a fan of the cartoon. Kid, did I ever tell you that I used to work with a guy who was a safety diver on the set of Creature From The Black Lagoon? He was one of the guys waiting in the cave ad behind weeds with air hoses for Ricou Browning and Ginger Stanley in the Wakulla underwater scenes.

:cheers

QUOTE(Reddy @ Feb 25, 2008 -> 11:22 AM) i can think of dorkier things you could do. bat collecting? come on how is that not cool? Well, you never saw our bat collecting costumes. . . Yeah, I pretty much think it's one of the coolest things I've ever done. But then again, I also raised laboratory cockroaches for use in scientific studies on a work/study program as an undergrad and I thought that was cool to, so I'm not a very good judge of these things.

QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 24, 2008 -> 06:47 PM) This thread is too wordy. Some of it may have to do with where people go. Carbondale, there is nothing else to do. There are bars galore. Other alum here would agree. Anybody ever go bat collecting around Carbondale? I used to go down from U of I with my Mammalogy class and then later as on summer work/study gig to collect and mark bat populations in caves and from river flyways. It was very cool. And, yes, that may indeed make me the dorkiest dork who ever set foot in Carbondale.

Going to be an uphill battle to have a good weigh-in this week, seeing as I pigged out as expected at the seafood festival yesterday. Big Fatty had himself: • 3 deviled crabs (basically crab cakes) • clams and linguini in butter and garlic • fried calamari • fried scallops • grilled shrimp • fried oysters • New England clam chowder • steamed clams with butter • 4 fest-sized 32 oz draft amber ales from the local brewery :crying Oh, wait. I also had a diet Coke in there somewhere, so that should offset all of that, right?

QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 24, 2008 -> 09:33 PM) Max, did your doctor tell you that you could take all those pills? 19 a day? Seems way too much for one day. Hi Everybody! Way too much? Not at all. As long as the patient's insurance keeps paying for them, a good doctor will keep writing them.

Hey, Fellow Fatties! Good Luck to all!!

QUOTE(Reddy @ Feb 22, 2008 -> 04:55 PM) i really think people just b*tch about the government too much... but shooting down satellite = cool. Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet spy satellite is insignificant next to the power of. . . THE FORCE!

Hooray, lost 5 lbs this week! After doing horribly and gaining a pound last week I tried really hard to have a good week. Of course, the big local annual seafood festival is this Sunday, so that's going to be trouble. Then my wedding anniversary the following weekend is going to be a tough hurdle as well, so I better lose what I can while I can. Good luck everybody else on your weigh-ins!

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 06:33 PM) So... that tailbone being busted? Not really my tailbone. It's either a bulging disc or a fractured vertebrae. So I can't really do much but hurt right now. Ouch. Dang, so sorry to hear that RK.

Sick – used to be bad when something was sick, but now when someone says "that was just sick" it's an admiration.

QUOTE(thedoctor @ Feb 19, 2008 -> 03:03 PM) exactly. dude was a trip. is he still around? his class was perfect for foellinger because it was part class, part performance. Several dorm mates of mine had that class and said it was a hoot. I think I took a film class instead the year everybody took that.

For my general biology classes in Foellinger Auditorium at U of I, I liked sitting up in the balcony. I think the only time I sat on the main floor was for concerts.
