  1. i've heard this many times, but my experience was very different. i had a total and pulled at terminal and remember it being very soft. i'm not sure this is typical, though.
  2. from the sfgate.com morning fix newsletter: == AND NOW, MULLET HAIKU == A weekly ode to follicular joy, because we can Aerodynamic Run fast, my hair's a spoiler Just like my Trans-Am
  3. read this list on another website and laughed and laughed. everybody poops. the website also had a forum somewhat like ours just full of scatological weirdos that were all sexual or uncomfortably fixated about their poop...i had to stop reading after the second post...it creeped me out. all that aside...i have no problems posted about poop here, for some reason. my friends and i have ways of describing work poops that include: -the turtlehead in a blender: when you have turtlehead, sit down to take care of it and it starts out okay, but then ends in a horrible episode of diarrhea. -b.o.d. poop: broken off poop. when you have poop just sticking out your butt and have to wipe something like 2,347 times to get yourself all clean. (wipe until it's white, right, bruce?) (the rest from other sources..) CLEAN POOP: The kind where you poopie it out, see it in the toilet, but there is nothing on the toilet paper. SECOND WAVE POOP: This happens when you're done pooping, have pulled your underwear up to your knees and you realize you have to poopie some more. POP-A-VEIN-IN-YOUR-FOREHEAD POOP: The kind where you strain so hard you practically have a stroke. LINCOLN LOG POOP: This kind of poopie is so huge, you are afraid to flush without breaking it up with your pencil. GASSEY POOP: It is so noisy that everyone within earshot is giggling. DRINKER POOP: The kind of poopie you have after a long night of drinking. It's most noticeable trait is the skid marks at the bottom of the toilet bowl. CORN POOP: (self explanatory) GEE-I-WISH-I-COULD-POOP POOP: The kind where you want to poopie but all you could do is sit on the toilet and fart a few times. SPINAL TAP POOP: This kind hurts so bad coming out, you swear it is leaving sideways. WET CHEEKS POOP (aka POWER DUMP): The kind that comes out so fast, your behind is splashed with toilet water. LIQUID POOP: The kind where yellowish-brown liquid shoots out and splashes all over the toilet bowl and you. UPPER CLASS POOP: The kind of poopie that does not smell. SUPRISE POOP: You are not even at the toilet because you are positive you will only fart, but...(oops!) a poopie. DANGLING POOP: This poopie refuses to drop even though you know you are done pooping. You just hope that a shake or two will cut it loose. ATOMIC POOP: The kind that burns on the way out and it still burns hours after you poopie. then there's the euphemisms for pooping like: -brown dog barking at the back door -dropping the kids off at the pool anyone know any others? (so glad i could get all this out here and not have to join the weirdos at the poop forum .)
  4. is this website still active? link, please? there should be an aggiedave school where you could give money to be trained to be just like aggiedave...the things we all could learn.
  5. how strange...were you the model for the real doll? (pds-you called it first!) http://www.realdoll.com/image/charlie/md12.jpg this is one of the most entertaining threads i've seen in a while...i'm *SO* going to hell for this...but then again, I was going for lots of other reasons, so in the big scheme of things, this thread's not so bad.

  7. hi, angelee, it's beth from aggieland... instead of slinks, some people have hard metal d shaped links that hold their canopy to their risers. in order to protect the grommets of your slider from getting nicked on these hard links, people place plastic tubes that form fit around the tops of the links as a barrier. the plastic tubes are called bumpers. i bet todd has some next time you're out...you can see them. ps. congrats on your 100th. i'm very happy for you!

  8. I have a dear friend who was a gamecock...nothing beats one side of the stadium screaming, "GAME..." and then the other side responding, "COCKS!" and when you see him, even though his team sucks it up real bad...you can say, "Heh, Bruce? Go cocks." It means the world to him. He's also one of the few friends I have to whom I can give gifts that have "Cocks" written on them. Hee. Cocks. Hee. Sorry, all you guys at South Carolina...it's just good plain fun. =) Beth
  9. i used to have the hardest time keeping everything straight with my money...i even used to bounce checks (gasp!) after becoming confused between the two different bank accounts i have open. i tried to use quicken, but found that my banks' webpages didn't make it very easy to download transactions...ease of transaction maintenance was the main reason i wanted to use quicken, not taxes, not billing, just reconciling my checkbooks. so, i made an excel spreadsheet that does it all for me. i have to enter each transaction, but i have it set up to give me a pie graph of the breakdown of where my money goes/how it was spent. i gave a copy to a friend and she loves it too. i reconcile online (the link to my bank webpage is embedded in the spreadsheet) and simply tear up my bank statements when they get to me...as far as i'm concerned, the statements are old news by the time they show up anyway. i've used it for over a year now and it's helped a lot. for example, i realized that i was spending more on local phone service and long distance charges than it would cost me to use a cell...so now, i own a cell phone and cut the land line...yippee! no more phone calls from solicitors or anyone else you would rather not talk with, for that matter...although sprint did have the nerve to call me once to try to sell me something...jerks. anyway, here's a picture of this month's spreadsheet to give you an idea of what i mean. you can set up any category of spending that you like; it's pretty straight forward. if you want a starter copy for yourself, let me know and i'll email you one. =) cheers, beth Picture 1.pdf
  10. from foxnews.com sounds like the best case scenario to me...wonder what it was?
  11. i've seen this time and time again from people that are needing attention...they thrive on it and negative attention is much easier to get than positive attention. (i'm encouraging it even now as i write this post...doh!) kicking him off would only fuel his fire...let him stay and deal with his indiscretions. he might even learn something. nacmacfeegle is dead on...if he plays by the rules, let him stay. it isn't like anyone around here is going to let this guy slide, right? there was an apology this morning when i logged on...perhaps he can be taught!
  12. while handsome and ugly are subjective words...i can write that i once dated and thought myself head over heels with a man that sported a rounded tummy, a bald head and bad teeth. he was the single most funny and intelligent man i had ever met...and therefore the most sexy. it's all about the brain for some women. my friends would come to me and say, "I met the perfect guy for you today...bald, bad teeth...you'd love him!" yeah, they weren't kidding. (my current dreamy boyfriend has everything a girl could want-i'm the luckiest girl in the world.)
  13. This is a good one my best friend and I employ: Would you own a three-legged dog? The question speaks to their heart. Beauty, sex, money, etc. are all ephemeral...a good person will always be a good person.
  14. did you tell him you want your money back? remember everyone, there's always a *reason* you broke up with someone...nostalgia is not worth it. i promise.
