Whenever I donate blood beer hits me 10x harder than usual. Which isn't really a surprise, but it still blows. Made my exit home come along a lot quicker last night. At least I'm feeling refreshed for baseball this morning.
I'm doing Tough Mudder later this month so I thought I'd ease up on drinking but then I go to work and that idea gets blown out of the water. Someone let the stupid out today. I need a beer or 12
For people like this, can you guys nap then? I'm one of those people that can sleep in just fine. Its gotten a bit less, if I wake up after 10 or so, I usually struggle to get back to sleep, but its not like I'm up at 7 either. My old roommate would get up at 7-730 like normal for work on a Saturday, but then take a MASSIVE nap. I'm talking 3-4 hours that would sometimes stretch into darkness. Didn't make appeal to me.
Home alone tonight to work on one of the 3 presentations I have to give in the next 6 weeks. Alone with PubMed and Cochrane. More or less pathetic than being drunk and on this thread all night? Hmmm.
Yes, I usually take naps. For about an hour or so. I think because I don't drink, and I exercise a lot (walk 3 miles a day with the dog, cardio 3x a week, lift 3x a week), I'm generally good with about 5 hours of sleep a day. I usually go to bed between 1-2 a.m., I'm usually up between 5:15 and 6, do all the shit I need to do, and grab about an hour nap around 12.

Anyways, for you fucks it's Saturday night, but for me it's a rainy Sunday morning, which is PERFECT for watching college football. Nothing is open yet, my team is playing a late game and it will be shitty weather all day. Couple that with unruly bowels from spicy Korean food, I will be accomplishing nothing today.

I'm with you (ugh) on the food pretentiousness, in that I don't really think that filet mignon is the best cut of beef, lobster isn't great seafood and champagne is more likely to taste like rusty horse piss than golden ambrosia.
I wear the same hat, everywhere, every day. Is that weird?

I think it's the blatant racism and anti semitism that makes everyone weary. Maybe I've just grown up in a mid to higher middle class area but coming across someone that is truly racist and voices it publicly you're taken aback. Like really is this dude serious? When you realize they are you feel weird just being around them.
Yes. Unless you happen to be a 5th grader. I actually used to do the same thing (with a different hat of course because the only thing lamer than hockey is the city of Buffalo). And then I realized that wearing a hat makes you look fairly juvenile 90% of the time. However, don't listen to a word I say as I probably have the worst sense of style/fashion/whatever you want to call it on the board. I need help in that regard in a bad way. Hey pot, stop thinking everyone else is a kettle.
How come nobody ever changes the subject line? Hey, CJ, I'm not cool enough to go out, so I'll just hang out here and drink with TiB. Today I got up early, went to the White House (though, they wouldn't let me inside for some reason. . .), Vietnam, Korean, WWII and Lincoln Memorials, the Nationals - Marlins game, Natural History Museum, ran the 9-11 Pentagon Memorial 5K. Rode the Metro about a million times in every direction and finally back at the hotel I am worn out. Beer is helping. I took a picture at the Nat Hist Museum of a cave woman with her boob hanging out. I was going to post it here to represent how long it's been since someone updated the boobie thread . . . but my laptop doesn't have a compact flash card reader for me to transfer the photo.
Well, you're kind of right. Lobster is fantastic when it's done well, the lobster is fresh, and you're eating lobster. It's marginal when it's been sitting in a tank for a while and lost weight and crawled around in shitty water. It's easy enough to lose the taste of lobster when it's included in other dishes. Lobster mac n' cheese was trendy for a minute and the only way that I could see it being out of this world is if an entire lobster was included in a single serving, in which case I'd rather eat the lobster by itself. That being said, you're not saying anything new. Most foodies agree with you and even most chefs aren't using lobster as centerpieces of their dishes simply because there are so many different proteins out there that can be used in more creative ways and create a better product. Most chefs are doing amazing things with lesser cuts. However, one of the best meals that I've had in my life was a surf and turf plate in an old as dirt (like 1850 old) seafood house in Atlantic City. The lobster tail was as big as my foot, cooked perfectly and topped with jumbo lump blue crab in a white wine sauce with a petite filet. Tired and trite? Sure. Cliche? More or less. Absolutely out of this world? Uh huh.
Ok, I don't know why people say cats are evil when dogs are way more manipulative. I was at my friend's house today and his lab Buck was happy and excited the entire time because there were so many people around to play with him. Yet, as soon as the pizza arrived it was like a switch went off; I went to the kitchen to grab a slice and suddenly he's moping around with his head and tail down complete with sad eyes looking up at me trying to guilt me into giving him some pizza. And it might have worked except for the fact that he was the most happy and carefree dog in the world not 1 minute before the pizza arrived. That and the fact my Mom's dog Elkie - a german shepard - pretty much does the exact same thing.
Moping while pizza around is manipulative compared to cats? A cat will treat you with the nothing but disdain throughout its life and yet you somehow still end up providing food, shelter, litterbox cleanings, and love whenever the creature deems it necessary.
