Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's the thread!

Not sure what the Random thread is all about? Well, here's the answer to all your questions.

It's basically a restaurant. That serves breaststicks. And lots of cute fruit and veggies. And is patronized by a HO. And Tucker Carlson. Vin Diesel, too. Lots of race car drivers eat here, as well. We're very well respected by the Amish... one girl in particular is here almost all the time.

The food is great if you're low on iron. It's not on the menu, but you can ask about the special secret garlic cure home recipe. One of the hostesses often makes weather predictions, but she's not always around. I think she has another job with the government. Or a government. Something like that. One of the other hostesses says "Bitch, please," a lot, but she's joking... don't take it personally.

Forget anything you've heard about the girl who died here from arsenic poisoning. That was a long time ago, and she's still alive, anyway... just busy so she doesn't come in as much. Besides, a little arsenic adds a lot of flavor to just about any dish.

Pretty flowers by the entrance, hey? Lilis, they are. Beautiful. And the music is totally hopping... we have our very own DJ. Looks a little like Brad Pitt.

I guess that's pretty much all you need to know. I'm usually in the corner booth over there drinking a nice glass of wine. You're welcome to join me, anytime. We're open 24/7.


Congratulations to everyone who made Part 4 such a kickass thread!!!

And thank you to the ever generous, intelligent, lovely, and kind Nichole, who let me start the thread even though she won the last one. 🙂

I'm getting myself in the mood to go work out. Then I have to write up my organic lab in my lab book for tomorrow, then do some practice problems. If I'm done by 7-ish, I might go see a movie.

cello!

viola!

 

[da_donut]

Hey, you get a chance to see the replay or you plan to download?

no i already checked and they're not airing it again (at least on my cable) so i'll d/l it tomorrow 🙂

 

[Beau Geste]

viola!

cello - like school of rock!

Cell-oooooo!

 

[deleted106503]

viola!

string bass!

My husband took his tattooed butt down to the Harley dealer today on his bike.

Hopefully the rip will be up by tomorrow. I need more space on my HD, too. I have way too many 1.5 gig race rips on it and I have 700mb left. So I have to burn some stuff off today.

I'm not sure on good prices for external HDs. Check out www.slickdeals.net for coupons.

 

[deleted106503]

RAD, you mean this?

 

[Anastasis]

my sig is almost done 🙂

I need a new sig I think, but I haven't heard anything nearly that entertaining in awhile.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Wow, I thought you guys were an extinct species.

Funny story from last summer: We had an antenna from Radio Shack and it's actually HDTV able!!! Holy crap!

No, there's a few of us around. I get teased mercilessly about it by one of my friends. But I would never get anything done if I had it. SDN is bad enough 😉 Plus, it's another monthly bill I don't really want to deal with.

 

[deleted106503]

Hmm...IMG tags aren't working...

 

[Anastasis]

Why someone would get tattoos on their hands is beyond me.

I want one on my wrist but I'm totally waiting til after I have an acceptance.

I'm not a computer genious but if you know a thing or two can you take a look at this:

http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2412108&Tab=0&NoMapp=0

Is this an external or internal hard drive? Its under the externals but I dont get the deal with the case they bundle it with.

 

[RAD11]

RAD, you mean this?

yeah i'm trying...i've done this before, but can't figure it out 😡

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Plus, you should see my TV. I bought it for cheap off my brother. It's a little 13" TV with a VCR built into it. Woohoo! It's a little old, but it has its charm 😀

 

[Beau Geste]

No way will I ever get one on my extremities. but to each his/her own.

Maybe my hip or right above my hoo-ha area or inner thigh.

I am *really* bothered by that lizard-guy and leopard-guy you see pics of in the wierd pages.

Hahaha OMG, I have 13" tv in our room too!

Very strange, I can't seem to find anything specific on it even on Google. Let me look on Best Buy's website.

 

[Anastasis]

Doesn't specifically say. This thought was sparked by a post from someone who has them on their hands and now is worried about getting into med school.

[rant]
Seriously, in a professional setting visible tattoos seem pretty against the rules. Are people that short sighted to not realize that it could affect their future career and advancement?
[/rant]

In all honesty I don't think I'll get it. I have this funny adversion to pain, but I like the idea. But somewhere where it could be covered up in professional settings (ie. under a larger watch).

 

[deleted106503]

Hey, you're 100th post in this thread!

 

[RAD11]

Sorry still trying to figure out the link thing...

13 inches.....i dont think i could live with that. Once you get a big tv you just can't go back to inferior ones

 

[RAD11]

There!!!

 

[deleted106503]

People tell me to cut off my hair for interviews. I'm a guy with shoulder length hair. It took me almost a year and a half to get to this point. I don't think I'll cut it off for interviews. Med schools shouldn't care. It's not like it's unkempt or anything.

 

[deleted106503]

Where???

For us it was really more of a problem with space.....we live in a dinky condo 😳

 

[Beau Geste]

tv's are getting cheaper, too! You can get a 42" HDTV flat screen for under $1000 now.

braid it in cornrows!

 

[RAD11]

Where???

I posted the new smiley!! Look at previous posts!

 

[deleted106503]

Okay, I see it now! So how is it different than what I did? The IMG tags didn't work for me, but it seems fine for you?

 

[RAD11]

 

[deleted106503]

braid it in cornrows!

Actually, if I was black, I would. I think that looks pretty neat. My friend grew out his afro because he liked it, but cut it off for interviews. I asked why he just didn't braid it, but he said people still think it doesn't look clean. I won't understand that one!

 

[Anastasis]

The IMG tags are working for me too apparently.

Someone's been watching The Skulls.

 

[RAD11]

 

[Anastasis]

No - lots of people who went abroad with my program ended up getting small crosses on the side of their wrists. I really wanted to do it but doubt I could take the pain.

 

[deleted106503]

Someone's been watching The Skulls.

Terrible movie. Only reason I watched was because of the 355 Spider.

 

[RAD11]

WHo''s that bad boy?!!

 

[deleted106503]

lol, you're having a field day with this!

 

[deleted106503]

But a CRT, right? If it's LCD, please let me know where. 👍

 

[deleted106503]

Alright, let me see if the IMG tags work for me:

I have a zit! On the edge of my eyebrow! Aggh!

how you wear your hair shouldn't have anything to do with the color of your skin.

You could always go for the mullet, you know. Business in front, party in the back!!!!!!

Walmart. The off-brands (Ilo, Hiatchi) are $800-900. You'll pay more for RCA, Panasonic, Sony ($1000-1300)

Just saw them yesterday!
