  1. When people write "a myriad of." Drives me crazy. I really pissed of the society columnist in the Birmingham News a few years ago after I just couldn't stand it any longer. I swear, I can be scanning a whole page of a newspaper and that term will jump out at me. Oh, and people who leave their radio BLASTING when they pull up to the gas pump or convenience store. Roll Tide Roll
  2. I could come up with these all day. I hate it when people take their socks off and leave them inside-out. I hate mouth smacking noises. I HATE when people talk on their Nextel or whatever in restaurants or similar. Why do they think everyone wants to hear their conversation?! And it's always on max volume. Same for when they are going through a checkout line in front of me. Roll Tide Roll
  3. I HATE it at the gym when guys drop the dumbbells so hard they bounce three or four times and it sounds like the wall is caving in.. Roll Tide Roll
  4. When someone calls me on their cellphone and they obviously have no signal, but they insist on trying to have the conversation. I get every third word, and we spend more time saying "...hello, are you still there?" than talking about whatever it is. Even worse when they are using a hands-free. Roll Tide Roll
  5. A hole and a heartbeat, not too much to ask. Roll Tide Roll
  6. Body weight fluctuates so much during the day due to water and food intake, hence the prior suggestion. Another suggestion to show this, you could do what I said along with what you do now, and track it. See how much the one specific time changes over a month, as compared to all the other times you weigh. Still, if you are weighing a lot, be sure to at least try to be consistent in the time relative to your eating and bathroom habits. It's so odd. I used to think people who were anorexic were just mentally ill and stupid. I no longer think that way at all, because I am equal-opposite - I panic if my weight drops to 210. I like to be about 218, but it's hard to maintain it. Roll Tide Roll
  7. Another thing I would suggest to everyone is to pick a day of the week, and weigh yourself then, and then only. It should be after you have done #2, and before you have eaten, to get your most accurate weight - I mean, some days after Los Arcos one may carry around over a pound for a little while. I see people at the gym weight themselves as soon as they arrive, then in the middle of their workout, then again before they leave. Roll Tide Roll
  8. The technique starts with the practice of "flexing (squeezing)" during urination (stopping the stream), because the same muscles are involved. More adventurous people can do this with their sphincters too. next Roll Tide Roll
  9. #1, what I usually tell people after New Year's Day, you CANNOT stop smoking, join a gym, and go on a diet all at the same time, and have any success. Did your tackling of the issues one-on-one work before? Obviously not. Why do you think that taking them all on at the same time will be advantageous? Baby steps. Every day you change your behavior, and improve your habits, you are making yourself better. I am a sweet tea addict. Now, every time I make a gallon, I pour out a minute amount of processed white sugar. I mean, a MINUTE amount...a few grains. Not the best scenario, but still, getting better all the time.

  10. HAAA! I just told that to someone on the phone earlier in conversation where I called her and said "quick, spell 'weird' and 'yield...'", but I didn't want to sound bourgeoise. Roll Tide Roll
  11. The latter - think vac-u-um rather than vac-yume. There's where the confusion comes in. I have to double check "embarass" sometimes. I think "weird" should be spelled "wierd." I mean, is it "Yeild" Roll Tide Roll
  12. It's only payback, because all the good-looking, successful guys are either married or gay. So goes life. Roll Tide Roll
  13. You will like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnDc1Qh4bv8 Roll Tide Roll
  14. Duly noted. Do you use a laserjet printer? Roll Tide Roll
  15. Alright. One more, and I'll shut up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUmkX78eSVI Roll Tide Roll
  16. My obvious answer is the real, original Star Wars Trilogy, but that's a whole other section all its own. Dune, as you said earlier - Baron Harkonnen makes Darth Vader look misunderstood. Who would ever have thought that Paul Atriedes would ever rock Jessie Spano's world like he did? Beetlejuice (Dune tribute noted). Cruel Intentions - come on, we all want THAT bitch to get in the end every time. The Usual Suspects. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Tell me you don't like it. Roll Tide Roll
  17. Oh, I've done that. The response was overwhelming - either "Ummm, I don't like you in that way..." or "How you doin'? Roll Tide Roll
  18. Okay, forgive me - one more, modern. She's so cool...almost as cool as the average skydiver chick: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3clWWUP8FNU Roll Tide Roll
  19. I want to say Van Halen (DLR), Widespread Panic, Fleetwood Mac, or something like that, but it's ABBA Definitely ABBA. Ooh, ooh, almost forgot The Doors. Roll Tide Roll
  20. Admire you today, man. Today. Roll Tide Roll
  21. 1. Was the lobster in season? If not, then IT'S ILLEGAL, in spite of how long it took the bastard to get caught - karma or otherwise. 2. If they were spearfishing, then that's the risk you take, filling the water with the chum. 3. Should have hit the shark on the nose, or defended himself with the spear, knife, whatever they were using to catch their prey. 4. Seems to me "Jack" had this planned all along - to throw his trusting associate under the bus (shark) and run away with the spoils of the day all to himself - that Jack-Off thinks he's a clever one, huh? 5. "When they get to the shoreline Jack says with an exhausted sigh 'I feel fucked'"...was he still coming? ---Yawn--- Keep Moving...NEXT Roll Tide Roll
  22. There is a guy up the road from me who deals in used (pre-1990) Mercedes-Benzes and parts. He runs the waste oil from a local steak-and-fries restaurant in several of his personal cars which were manufactured diesel (the bigger, long-wheelbase body styles), and they all have at around 350,000 miles or more. They run well, and are very definitely reliable, as expected, BUT, the thought of getting behind he or his wife in those cars driving across the bridge into town for several miles (the only road) for closer than at least 2 miles repulses me. The smell is so nauseating, and not one I think I could ever get used to, like bananas or cat shit. I like what one of my best friends did - he traded his 2005 Honda Element (Thank God) for a new 2006 Hummer H3 last year. I almost passed out when he told me he had traded his 2004 Wrangler for the Element. Driving 40 miles to work one-way was very taxing on the Hummer, as you can imagine, so he bought a used 2001 Diesel Jetta. This car had 169,000 miles on it, and runs like anything new, everything about the trim is solid, the doors close like a vault, and it gets 42mpg. If he drives the car just back-and-forth to work 75% of the time, the fuel savings along will pay for the car in a year and two months ($7,000). Roll Tide Roll
  23. I would send a mostly-body shot, but no dong shot. That treasure is best seen up close and in person. Roll Tide Roll
  24. I could never get tired of them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GFpMb0sOaw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNt1IdNEJ-c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsXzDMRFWkk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91WgM6dNLTE and finally, the band who introduced this Yank to Kate Bush so long ago... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUxhNWDlGts Takes me back to O3/the Ozone in Birmingham. I'll stop here. Tried to find a good version of "Porch Song," but nothing good enough to post. Roll Tide Roll
