This is an interesting point. There are a ton of occasions to buy gifts to celebrate something with/for someone you care about. Recently my Dad had a Birthday, my Mom bought and moved into a new house, Fathers day, etc. etc. I never know what to get these people so I have resorted to buying them tasty items from Omaha Steaks. The most personal gift ever? Well, no, but if you know what they want in their heart of hearts then you don't really need to send them raw meat from the internet.
That sounds like a great DIY project. + http://www.bbqaddicts.com/blog/recipes/bacon-explosion/ Pictures of the finished product please.
Just upset the cartels aren't shelling out for the custom, handmade precision pieces you put together in your spare time? Aren't you supposed to be drunk on a boat? I guess even the good business meetings have to end sometime. 6 beers down and I'm done for the day. Adios Kids
Dear Asshole, Fuck you for getting me to meet you at 8pm on a rainy Monday to look at my car for sale when you were already planning on lowballing the everloving shit out of an already low price. Also, you may think you're a super smart dentist, but judging from the number of times you asked me AND my husband if there were any problems with the clutch, it is painfully obvious that you are trying to buy a whole car for one part to replace on the newer version of my car that you drove in with. Fuck you, B PS: Fuck you.
Hey, as a long time member and rare poster, I'll tell you my (not speaking for the lurkers) problem here. Firstly, when there are actual current, topical threads, by the time I see them many hours after they've started (because I keep different hours), anything I'd choose to contribute has been said, thus making me a parrot. I have no interest in saying Me Too. Secondly, I'm drunk. Wait, that's later. Secondly again, this place has become very small and very cliquey. Even when I throw a nonscensical post down now and again, or even one with content, it's largely ignored on the board (but repped by some that I have bonded with). I've seen conversations grow with something I've posted, without regard to me. Why, oh why would an outsider bother? You're not one of the constant cool kids, so you can't sit at the table. Thirdly, I'm shitfaced and it's only Monday. I never drink Mondays. Fuck. I think I had another point or six, but my drink is dry and that is a REAL problem. I luuuurv yooouz guyssssss. (is that better? Drunky sounding enough?) (I actually do have a special affection for this place) (and I was wearing my IHTSBIH T-shirt tonight and had three ppl. remark on the book. Others unaware of Tucker always have something to say about the title) Edit: Fourthy, I'm actually out of my house and socializing, therefore unable to post here non-stop. K, that was bitchy, but fair. Fifthly, (is that a word? I'm spiraling down from lack of sleep) ...I forget. I wish I was kidding.
Couldn't agree more. I think we're (and by 'we' I don't mean me) not particularly welcoming to new posters. I've said it about other boards and I'll say it about this one: It's not mandatory to post here. If people here want more people, you have to give them some reason to do so. Belittling them isn't working, so I'd suggest maybe a new tact. Let 'em play out for a bit. See what happens. And most importantly: the funny needs to be the staple here. When juice posted about his scat play with his girlfriend, there were about three pages of some of the funniest stuff I've seen here in a long time. That's what will get people posting here, or more people reading (which would probably lead to more posters). Just my two cents, and carry on.
Re: Re: Weekend Drunk Thread 6/28 Why the hell are you going to Myrtle Beach? It is by far the shittiest beach in the entire state. My two cents on the poster thing is that when we have on topic posts, the topic usually goes off on tangents that are related to posters histories with one another. It's like hanging out with a group of friends that you don't know well, its all fine and good until a topic spawns a long story about them rolling a hobo in high school leaving you without context and just listening.
No! When new people post we must ridicule them until they leave, then bitch about lurkers never posting or contributing something amazing in their first post! If your first post here isn't amazing, they're not worth it! Don't you know? 1. Bitch about lack of new posters 2. Insult all new posters who do post and run them off 3. ??? 4. Profit!
Just to darken up your Tuesday, she wasn't actually offered money to do porn. She was offered money to endorse a porn website, without nudity required. Would have been better if they offered her a scene with the requirement the male talent be black. That'd be some advanced ninja trolling right there.
I've been on boards that are cliquey, and this place doesn't qualify. RMMB was kinda cliquey, and hard to break in to at first, but once you had 50+ decent, semi-intelligent posts under your belt, you were pretty much ok. The EHOWA board, on the other hand, if you weren't one of 3-5 main guys, then you were likely one of the 10-30 who seemed to idolize them. If you were outside that number, you might as well have not existed unless you were getting flamed. And that place had probably 150 regular posters, with constant new additions. This place is pretty chill, as long as you don't immediately come off as a complete moron.
I haven't really touched fireworks since hgh school, though it used to be the craziest holiday (easily). It was just past the point when the newness of summer was still exciting, and provided an easy excuse to ramp up the national teenage pastime of seeing how close to death we could come. The craziest it ever got was the Roman Candle duels. After enough beer consumed in a local park someone would demand satisfaction, slap the other person, and it was on. Each duelist would stand back to back, have someone light the fuse, and the rule was you had to keep pacing til the first candle went off, then it was circling and hiding as we fired balls of fire at each other. Luckily we were terrible shots, but the practice kinda died out after one guy had a ball of fire bounce off his glasses. Ironically enough, he would have been blinded without them.

Bottle rocket battles are where the fun is at. I was drunk on a boat but we gotta get back to work at some point. Haven't received any orders from the cartels (yet) and I am deeply offended by it.
I have a little bit of an obsession with Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. It's not that it's overwhelmingly funny--though, it's not without its moments--but it's just assembled so perfectly. Succinct, witty, with a behind the scenes look at what some funny people do when they're not in front of a camera or on stage. It's just really well done.
I think one of our junior staff is having a laugh with me. I told her to expand out all the acronyms in a document she wrote and it now reads, "the substance identity was verified by Insane Clown Posse...".
Is this the one that stole your nipple clamps? Maybe she's hinting to you that she is down with OPP. Tell the truth, is there any chemistry there? (I bet you never tire of that joke).
