It is bizarre. https://twitter.com/IDFSpokesperson https://twitter.com/AlqassamBrigade Yeah, looks like it could get hardcore again, unfortunately. The stuff on twitter is a bit mad alright. Egyptian delegation due to visit Gaza tomorrow.

QUOTE (AntonSox @ Nov 15, 2012 -> 05:01 PM) Christmas is coming soon and I want do by a present for my girlfriend. Thought about a watch or ring. Are there any suggestions? Welcome Anton. A few things: 1. How long are you with your girlfriend? 2. As Southsider2k5 says, what manner of a message are you trying to get across? 3. Any idea what she's getting you or how much she'll be spending - any agreed price range? 4. It's only mid-November, FFS! 5. I'd say if you post a picture of said girlfriend on here we'll be much better placed to help you...

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Nov 15, 2012 -> 07:20 PM) You then put your junk in that box. Unless he plans giving this present in a darkened cinema, I'm already beginning to see flaws in this plan. Still though, worth a shot.

Read and agreed.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Nov 8, 2012 -> 04:43 AM) Nah, I just told her she was really pretty and seemed like a cool chick when we were talking at the party. Told her I wanted to get her number, but we were having too much fun playing beer pong at the time, and she left before I could get it. Then asked if she was talking to anybody, and if she was, that was cool but I would kicking myself if I didn't at least ask. Blah blah blah. She is actually mutual friends with like 11 people on facebook, one being my cousin, so I mentioned after she replied back that I might run in to her again sometime since she is friends with my cousin. She asked who my cousin is, and that's where we stand right now. I'm not expecting anything but friendly conversation. Hopefully she asks my cousin about me and my cousin puts in a good word! (we all go to the same school). If I was you, I'd leave it like that for the time being. If you start popping up in chats, she'll categorise you as needy or a friend. Just play it cool for the time being until next time you see her. If you're her type, you'll get your chance. If not, there's nothing you can do to change that and you won't waste your time investing effort and emotion in an ultimately fruitless endeavour.

My beloved CELTIC - 125 years old today.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 3, 2012 -> 07:18 PM) Hilarious. Can you imagine sending a thank you note to a millionaire and adding, "by the way thought you might appreciate my brazzers ID. Enjoy some free porn." Yikes! I wonder if I'd hear from the police. Only one way to find out...

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Nov 3, 2012 -> 08:39 AM) Greg, its more customary for you to send people your Brazzers account information now. A lifetime supply of HQ streaming pornography is the gift that keeps on giving. Sage-like advice, Sir.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 2, 2012 -> 09:33 PM) The NYC marathon has gone the way of the Winter Classic: canceled Jesus. I'd forgotten all about the poor fecker... A guy I know flew over there especially to run the marathon.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 2, 2012 -> 06:47 PM) I knew I was kind of treading the feminine line with this post, so to speak, but what the hey? Not at all. However, reading this thread through Full Metal Jacket eyes, it's refreshing to see that the posters here would have the Godamn common courtesy to give a reacharound. Gents to the last.

Weekend! Some preliminary grocery shopping, and then it begins.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 1, 2012 -> 09:35 PM) Callers? Called by the house, as opposed to dispensing them by telephone.

No costume pictures, but I heard today of someone that covered onions in chocolate and gave them to callers.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Oct 31, 2012 -> 01:30 AM) http://news.yahoo.com/photos/hurricane-san...-202122035.html Link has 100 incredible pictures of the storm. Pretty intense stuff. Jesus, pretty hardcore!!

Just discovered there's a mixed grill on for lunch in work today. This makes me very happy!

Great stuff. No wasting time with it either.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Oct 30, 2012 -> 09:06 PM) As long as Lucas is no where near this and doesnt rape luke the way that he and spielberg double-teamed indiana jones, im cool with it.

I'm looking forward to seeing Rust and Bone, from the same guy that directed the fabulous A Prophet. Looks good and seems to be fairly well received, although I'm enthused largely due to the director's previous offering. Trailer looks promising, though. P.S. If you haven't seen A Prophet and don't mind subtitles, I highly recommend having a look at that film.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Oct 30, 2012 -> 04:27 PM) soccer and baseball are two very different fan experiences. I get that, just thought I'd chuck in my two cents (Euro) anyway. Having never been, this thread has really increased my desire to get to a game. Need to start searching for cheap transatlantic flights and promoting Chicago as a holiday destination to my wife!!

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 29, 2012 -> 09:19 PM) Pssh, that's never happened in a place I lived before... We threw a halloween party on Saturday so lots of people and a ridiculous amount of booze. No holes in the wall(sorry Brian) but between the party on Saturday and Sunday Fundaying it all day yesterday there is just beer cans, cups, wine, and liquor bottles all over the place. We actually take really good care of our place but right now it's just a disaster. Good times!!

QUOTE (SnB @ Oct 29, 2012 -> 09:23 PM) 1-2 day old beer is such a terrible smell. Granted, but it's so much fun putting it in on the previous day....

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Oct 29, 2012 -> 08:32 PM) This place will be a great resource for you at any level of homebrewing: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/ Good man, thanks.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 29, 2012 -> 08:03 PM) Haha well he has been doing it for about 5 years now, and a lot of his downtime is doing some form of brewing (beer, mead, dabbled in other things like sake, fruit liquers). In his garage he has a pretty sweet refurbished fridge acting as his kegerator. He has 3 spigots I believe, and he painted the outside of the fridge with a chalkboard paint so he could draw/write a bunch of beer jokes/quotes. So, he doesn't spend a large portion of his free time fannying around on forums dedicated to his various sporting interests then? I can see this ending well for me.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 29, 2012 -> 07:43 PM) My brother does, he goes to a bunch of homebrewing conferences and passed his test to be able to be a judge at events. I know he's won some awards at local competitions. I do love when he visits I'd say you do!! I think I'm operating on a slightly different plateau to him at the moment. :lol:
