Always near the water, from gulf coast to the Atlantic seaboard. If Texas counts as southwest then I've lived in the southwest, otherwise always the southeast. Spent 6 months in the northeast and did not like it. I can imagine myself being happier on the west coast but I can imagine lots of...

I was on prednisone for a year which is a type of steroid. I got up to 300lbs. I'm 6'4" and am now down in the 250 range. I lost most of the weight by eating better (more fiber, veg etc. and little to no processed foods) I have a big frame so even at 300lbs I looked more like an offensive...

Reading exercises one's brain more than watching video type entertainments tend to do. Even if what you're reading is fluff, you're at least keeping some of your neorons active simply by reading it. So I don't consider it a waste of time. That time could be better spent of course on more...

You may be deadpanning your sarcasm which usually leads people to think you're serious. Sarcasm often needs some slight exageration in inflection. It's tough though, good sarcasm is usually a little hard to detect. Making it too obvious makes your sarcasm seem asinine. (yes, yes. some people...

"I'll sleep when I'm tired"

I don't need a fucking calculator! (turns out I did)

Not when properly cooked. Red meat when properly cooked is still red ;) (at least on the inside) This would be off topic if this thread really had a topic: Lamb chops marinated in olive oil, S&P, garlic and fresh rosemary, grilled and served with mint jelly. Eat like a king

Perhaps you're not surprised because it feels right but is there any evidence to confirm or deny it? Probably evidence for both now that I think about it. But if I look back on my own experience I would have my doubts. I remember a time in the 8th grade when our class was taken to a room where...

The Nightingale's Song by Robert Timberg Biogrophies John Poindexter, Ollie North, Bud McFarlane and Jim Webb leading up to the Iran-Contra scandal. It's been a pretty good look into the inner workings of various agencies. But what I like most about it is what's on the cover: On top and...

Does adopting a meh, whatever attitude count as content? If not then I'm skewing the average upward.

Yes but it wasn't a very good one I admit. I selfishly went straight into satisfying my own curiosity. Yet I offer no apologies. So the town is fat and illiterate. If you had to choose between being fat and being illiterate, is it safe to assume you would choose being fat?

I have 2 cats and I love them dearly but if that third cat pictured has to die for some cause well, I can live with it.

That is the effect athletes call being "in the zone". Most of them go with it as long as it lasts as their performance efficiency increases dramatically. They describe time as slowing down and things look bigger. Hockey goalies have said a small puck coming at them at 90-100 mph looks like a...

I was born there. Haven't seen the town in 20 years. Some of it was decent back then but it seemed almost half of it was really run down. More so than other cities I've lived in. How is the city now in your view? (I lived on Up River rd in the Woodlawn area and it was beginning to look pretty...

An interesting new line of query this brings up... Would a photon torpedo destroy the one ring? Would it destroy Thor's hammer? We all know those Aliens from the Alien movies had acid for blood and I'm sure we're all confident that Thor's hammer could smash the hell out of one of those said...

So you're saying their are plot holes and inconsitencies in various works of fantasy fiction? Excuse me while I don't have an existential crisis.

I didn't see no kitty dance!! All I got was a blank white screen. Worst Most boring hack experience ever :mad:

Does their success or failure have any affect on you professionally? If you were assigned this task then your boss may be evaluating you too.

Retaliation for what though?

Spider 27 Cougar 26 owl 25 Watch out for: Wolves, Otters, Bears I usually do. Well maybe not otters.

It doesn't sound like you are supervising them as much as you're the one that gave them a job to do. That is, if you've only spoken to them both twice together and one a third time in a few months. If you're more involved than that then it didn't come across to me in the OP. I agree with the...

Who put the bee in your bonnet?

What do you call a girl with no arms or legs? -Peggy What do you call a guy with no arms or legs that's been thrown into a lake? -Bob What do you call a girl with one leg? -Eileen What do you call a Japanese girl with one leg? -Irene (yep, it's racist :)) What do you call an...

Mictlantecuhtli Indeed, you are 63% erudite, 46% sensual, 54% martial, and 75% saturnine. All right, I'll be honest. The Aztec God of the Dead had an awfully long name, not quite as intimidating as the names of his equivalents, Hades (Greek mythology) or Pluto (Roman mythology). Still...

*looks up my birthday and has a sads* Stupid function Oh wait, I wanted it that way. Now I remember.

A woman hears a knock on the door and opens it to find a group of young boys. "Can Timmy come out and play baseball with us?" They ask "Now boys" the woman scolds "you know Timmy doesn't have any arms or legs!" "Yes we know" one of the boys replies "We were hoping we could use him for...

What does this calender function do? I just see some names under dates linking to their profiles.

*sigh* I probably shouldn't have gone there in the influential thread. Sorry. Fukyo is right, it's just changed and sometimes nostalgia makes me whiny about it I suppose. I made a BIG mistake. Trouble is I don't know when it was. Was it 2 years ago when I left? (I didn't visit or lurk, I...

The universe :D Context. Big picture to me is the overall goal or point of whatever I'm focused on. Be it a simple task, my business venture, local through world events etc. It's looking past the details and examining the overall purpose/goal in order to better orient the details into...

Ohhh a mystery! Who was this person I wonder? *dons cape and breaks out magnifying glass* Now to investiga.....aw fuckit, I don't really care.

Well no, not everyone can be average or above but somewhere deep down I believe most people would think they are in the above whether they are or not. It's self perception that we're doing here. I also believe most people go through periods from time to time when they are down on themselves and...

Why not family? Dysfucntional at times sure but but but eh whatever. Welcome tom. I played that team sport for a time and enjoyed it to an extent. The current state of my body wishes sometimes that I didn't but oh well. Involvement in team sports of any kind are not a commonly shared trait...

Of course I'm arrogant to an extent. I think most people are. Those that would say they're in the lower 50 percentile are probably going through a low self-esteem issue(s) at the time they say it. I'm glad you put that last option in there as I don't know how to place myself. My ego is...

I was at a church summer camp when tested so I suppressed the memory for 20 plus years.

I like crapping better than a lot of things but I digress. I LOATHE phones and yet I field 10-20 calls a day from strangers and often have to call them back and leave messages. I'm absolutely terrible at it.

I've been equating my brain with some ancient ruins. It used to be a thriving, albeit primitive society but now it's just something a few bored tourist occasionally come by to see and I check them in and show them to their room.

Money does not equal happiness. Having lots of money can make unhappiness a lot easier to bear. Happiness may be harder to come by because it's so damn subjective. There may not be anything that actually makes you happy, or at least obtainable. Until we invent the mind meld, none of us can...

If time ends, what happens to all this matter? Do the electrons stop revolving? Does it all disappear? The theories are and will continue to be interesting but impossible to prove unless we can recreate the conditions in a lab. Sounds like a tough task. I struggle thinking about time as a...

Hmmm yes, know thy enemy and all that jazz. Good thing it's in The Art of War and not The Bible. The enemy only reads the latter hahahahaha!!!

Re: I'm going to yell at you from outside of the cave Get out of Facebook! It's a cave of it's own!

Cognisant = Omar? :D To answer the OP, I don't choose my victims, they choose themselves. Or at least that's how I'd go about it.

:kodama1: Kinda reminds me of the uh "kid" in Tool's Prison Sex video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5sIXUbMgF0&feature=related

Hmmmm. This: Or this: I personally want a treehouse:

Now THAT is TLC INTP-style! Wait...did someone mention Face? I miss Face. I haven't been able to pick on a teenage girl since Face. Wait...Why do I have some latent desire to pick on teenage girls? Wait...So what if I do?

Haven't played since Brood War. So about a dozen years out of practice :D

I hope so, that's what I figured the thread was about :kodama1:

Welcome and all that. We might have a thing or two to teach, so might you. Well this is a dark alleyway but we are well protected by a butterfly so fear not! That's not the norm here (but I like some too). So what do you like and what about them appeals to you? What do you want to learn...

Well you could learn what they were physically and mentally capable of through testing. You wouldn't learn much of anything about how they lived. Just a thought: I wonder if their base instincts would survive the process.

This isn't my story or Duxwing's story or J.D. Salinger's story. This is your story and you alone can write it. Yes there are some technical things you can work on. Practice and feedback will help you along the way but you are the only judge as to what feedback you will/should accept. My advice...
