Is that a thing? I can't say I've ever experienced that. Q: Icee or Slurpee?

I don't know for sure, but I vaguely recall stuff about elves "diminishing" in the 3rd age.

Thin privilege is being able to bang your hot 18-year-old students.

Stay out of the power racks? That's the best place to do curls, bro!

I had a "Sweet Baby Jesus" the other day, one of Duclaw's beers. It was the first peanut butter flavored beer I've ever had, so I don't have much to compare it to. That said, it was absolutely delicious and tasted like drinking a Reese's Cup.

This is a really interesting question and one that I've been asked several times, as I've spent time abroad. Without going into great detail, I think the biggest reason is that simply saying "American" is an extremely vague term. What does "American" mean, anyway? I'm a white, middle class guy...

I don't know, that doesn't seem so far fetched. I work at a desk all day and teach for about 3 hours each night. I'm lucky to take a total of 50 steps throughout my entire office day, but during teaching there isn't a single minute where I'm sitting, and rarely am I even standing still. If I'm...

My local grocery store has garlic marked as $1 for 2 cloves of garlic. However, when you use the self-checkout aisles and press the "Garlic" button, it is apparently set to $1 per pound, which means I get my cloves of garlic for pennies. Think of how many people I can save (or murder, depending...

No no, I'm just a run of the mill fatty all year round.

It certainly is a lot easier to be motivated to wake up early and hit the gym when it's nice and warm. This past week or so has been especially brutal with the super cold temperatures and snow; I've really had to force myself to trudge out of the house. In other news, I definitely noticed the...

Sadly, you can't help people learn how to be "good" with money. The only way people learn is to hit hard times and learn through experience. Even then, some people are still unable to grasp basic fiscal responsibility.

I had completely forgotten about the whole Pierce debacle. It took me a minute to realize he wasn't there, but I can't say I missed him, either. I like the new old guy and I think he'll be even better than Pierce. Honestly, Pierce was only occasionally funny and his whole racist schtick had...

Community Colleges don't pay very well. Not only are the salaries considerably lower than a "real" university, but the vast majority of teachers at community colleges are adjunct (i.e. part time). In my department there are about 70 teachers, but only 3 are full time and get paid a salary. Even...

Balrog would have destroyed Smaug, no question. Balrog is technically equal to Sauron in that they are both servants of Morigoth (see:http://tolkien.cro.net/balrogs/sauronvs.html). Of course, Sauron's constant focus on growing his power made him stronger over the long run while the Balrog was...

My local Walmart smells like curry and has a constant police presence. I haven't shopped there in a long time, either. However, the poor saps who live in the middle of bumfuck-nowhere-flyover states don't have many other options for shopping, I believe. I wish someone would make a little...

Noodleface should be nominated in the Biggest Faggot category.

Were they killed? Other than the Witch King dying to that one prophecy, I remember the others only dying when the ring was destroyed. They were never actually killed by any mortal means.

Given that the reason Gandalf wanted Smaug out of the way was to prevent his "use" (I think that's the word used in the books) by Sauron, I always figured Sauron and his forces were much more powerful than the dragon. Not necessarily in terms of physical or combative ability, but just due to...

I swear to God I wish I could shoot every single mother fucker who thinks it's a good idea to hop on the highway without cleaning snow off your fucking car. I think I'd drop the D.C area's population down to a dozen people.

Sorry, but you actually died. You're experiencing a Sixth Sense-style limbo where no one can see or hear you but you're unaware of it. And before you ask how I'm responding to your post if no one can see or hear you, I'm Haley Joel Osment.

I have 3 younger cousins: 16, 13, and 11. At Thanksgiving I was talking to them and I could barely understand half the words coming out of their mouths. The slang that they used was completely foreign to me. This was the first time I was really struck by the "holy shit, you're not young anymore"...

I don't know if anyone watches The Biggest Loser, but I happened to see Biingo and his mom at a mall food court the other day. I thought it was funny because they were getting lunch at McDonalds.

Where oh where is Arrow?

The big gym rush will start on Monday. Not many people are going to start up in the middle of the week.

I really don't think it really matters who ends up in Washington to be honest, since the Skins are such an enormous cluster fuck of a team with a primadonna QB. However, of all the names being thrown around of possible options, I think Lovie Smith is, at the very least, the lesser of all evils...

I somewhat forgive the buffoonery of the dwarves simply because they were portrayed as kind of hapless in the book as well. Not to the extent that the movie goes, but I don't remember reading the book and thinking "wow, these dwarves are bad asses." It was more like, "What the hell would these...

I just don't bother talking to or about those people with retarded characters in their names. Considering 99% of them are just American dipshits, I use those names as a filter to avoid interacting with undesirables.

Here's another question related to PhD programs. I'm finishing up my Masters in 2014, and now that I see the light at the end of the tunnel I've been pondering continuing on to a PhD program at some point in the future. Are there any non-obvious things I can start doing now to make myself a...

Again, this info is a bit old so double check it, but I believe you can buy the mount skill after level 5 for 95 Turbine Points in the Turbine Store. Once you have the mount skill you can go to the horse farm north of Bree and buy a mount (or get a mount from the Turbine Store with your other...

Are you doing Free to Play or a sub? If you're doing Free to Play, it might be worthwhile to do a 1-month sub just to unlock a lot of the little quality of life things on your main character (which you retain even if you cancel your sub). A one-month sub should get you all the bag slots, remove...

Of all those names I think I'd be most pleased with Lovie Smith.

Is this Rerolled's first manslaughter?

I buy all my gym clothes at the local thrift store. I usually rock $1.60 shoes, $2.00 shorts, and a $1.00 t-shirt. As long as the clothes are just for basic exercising/lifting, I've never seen the point in spending much money on them, nor how stylish/good they look.

A wizard did it.

Ossoi posted his pictures a while ago in this thread. He's skinny as hell and has an erudite forehead.

The bit about hobbit scent is straight from the books if I remember correctly, so blame Tolkien for that.

Or live near a bakery. I used to get a fresh loaf of white bread every Saturday morning and it was amazing. Id also buy a block of cheese and box of juice and that would be my breakfast. Even if now in my shitty suburban chain-store wasteland I can easily find freshly baked bread. It isnt...

I hate to agree with this hillbilly, but freshly baked white bread is one of life's greatest pleasures. Anyone who hates it is clearly a horrible human being.

Sorry I don't understand your question. "your excited...what?" Q: Is sommelier a bullshit job?

I do similar to what Valos mentioned. I don't usually buy games just because they are cheap, but rather because I want to play them. I figure if it's cheap now, it'll be cheaper later. The games aren't going anywhere, so there is no hurry to buy them now unless I have a strong urge to play them...
