    Thanks. I'll look into it.

    Comic Books

    Kick Ass (up to 3 books now) has hard cover versions of its 3 stories. Kick Ass, Kick Ass 2 & Hit Girl. They're publishing Kick Ass 3 right now. It'll be out on hard back in 6 months or so. EDIT: I also picked up a thousand page "Bone" book. Bone is a cute funny-book. It told a very...

    Yesterday was my dog's 4th birthday.

    While my wife is Asian, she wasn't mail order. She was a student nurse at the hospital I was staying at after nearly dieing in a motorcycle accident. I was watching an anime, like a nerd, and she came in and said "That's in Japanese!" And we started to talk... she slipped me her number when...

    Kick-Ass 2 trailer

    That looks a lot like my shop. Except we out source our heat treating, and we don't actually forge anything the way he seems to. We build sheet metal parts. As an example, we built this frame for the replica liberty bell for the National Liberty Museum in Philly. The frame itself is made...

    Best post of the thread. God job, Noodle.

    Yesterday was my dog's 4th birthday.

    He eats pretty much anything. He'll devour broccoli also. We just search out what's toxic (Grapes) and don't give him that type of thing.

    Yesterday was my dog's 4th birthday.

    We do it every year. Though I lost the video for year 3 and never put it online. As far as putting it on a forum, a LONG time ago (when we first got him), I was a member of a pitbull forum, but I hadn't posted there since he was around 7 months old. It was a boring forum, not full of any...

    Some of you bitches are gonna love this. I put my own hands and my daughters hands in between Baku and his dinner.

    By far? You enjoyed this less than the original Hulk from '03?

    Yesterday was my dog's 4th birthday.

    I learned that after the fact. His full name is Bakuhatsu, the Japanese word for explosion (My wife is Japanese). We didn't have a name for little Baku the first week we had him. We just called him pup or kid. We were trying to think of something unique, and realized that when he was resting...

    Yesterday was my dog's 4th birthday.

    That's a dumb post. The reason you don't think of a junkyard dog being anything but viscous is due to public opinion. The whole point of a guard dog is to intimidate a would-be thief. They don't HAVE to be angry and out for blood, but if they look scary, the thief will think twice. You...

    Yesterday was my dog's 4th birthday.

    And to those of you comparing our pit to golden retrievers or dachshund, way to let the media corrupt your mind. There are buzz words out there, and Pitbull is one of them. There are plenty of bad owners out there, and a lot of those owners own Pits. As a result, the dogs are undisciplined...

    Yesterday was my dog's 4th birthday.

    We purchased our dog from a high-school friend's family when he was 7 weeks old. My friend had been killed in a Motorcycle accident a few days prior, so I went to his parents house to give my condolences. While there, I saw that their dog recently had 12 puppies (though 1 was a still born)...

    Kick-Ass 2 trailer

    The movie was fairly close to the comic book. And there is the ultimate truth. It's a comic book. Some pretty imaginary shit happens to both get people into trouble as well as get them out of it. Comic Books do not emulate real life. This movie will be a bit darker than the first. A lot...

    Yesterday was my dog's 4th birthday.

    Sorry, I've been out at a family BBQ all day today. Regarding that picture, we wanted Baku (the Pitbull) to become associated with our daughter RIGHT AWAY. He's a part of the family. She came home as a bigger part then he ever was, so he needed to understand that. He has the capability...

    Yesterday was my dog's 4th birthday.

    I took a video of his dinner. This thread is just an excuse to post said video. He's a good dog and does quite well with my daughter. She's a year and a half old now and he's been with her since day one. Well, technically day 3. This was the day we brought her home from the hospital...

    EQ Never

    So... do we know ANYTHING about EQ Next yet, or is this thread purely speculation? I don't want to read through all 373 pages just to find out an answer to that. I know that it's said to be the largest sandbox MMO to date. That it's closer to EQ1 then EQ2 (I read that somewhere), and that...

    Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

    They have an interesting promotional piece. I guess it's explaining how the world has changed from Rise of TPotA into this new film. There's also a website attached to it. Opening the site immediately plays this 30 second video, but then you can look around. However, every link takes you...

    The Walking Dead

    I'm sure it's the governor that was feeding the walkers, luring them to the prison. I'm 90% sure that trailer showed almost the full season too. Time will tell.

    The Walking Dead

    AMC released a character prediction video for what might happen on season 5. This is NOT a trailer... just some of the actors being asked what they think will happen.

    Question about Atlanta, being that I'm going there in a few weeks. I'm looking for a "good" movie theater. I'll be away on vacation, but that won't stop me from seeing Kick-Ass 2 opening night. So what theater would you guys suggest? Thanks.

    "She was also responsible for bringing Lance Armstrong's Yellow Bracelets to every employee at Microsoft." Ok, I made that up, but it's just as relevant.

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    What he's done wouldn't work with your server. He's doesn't believe that the programming he and Harakiri have done would be compatible with ANY server.

    Dexter

    If he is in a psych ward, I want to see Lila West (the NA sponcor from season 2) alive again and also in the background. And maybe Rita also. She got sexy towards the end of her run.

    The Counselor

    It happens before Prometheus, but after Gladiator. After Robin Hood too, which fits between Councelor and Gladiator.

    This actually looks decent for a generic bullshit comedy the way it seems to be. I'll definitely DVD this.

    I saw Burr last month in Easton, PA. It was a great show. The teen idol sensation, Joey Roses (DeRosa) opened for him. Great show.

    I've lately been debating if I should get a 2nd MSI GTX 660 so I can run SLI, or if I should look at one of the new 700 series cards. *shrugs* I don't "need" to do anything right now.

    I recently (March this year) built a ridiculous system from parts on Amazon & Newegg. It ran me right around $1400 even. Started off with a 256gig Samsung 840 SSD drive. Core i7 3770k MSI GeForce GTX 660. 32 gigs (overkill) of Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 MHz RAM. Windows 7 Professional...

    Breaking Bad

    This scene from the first half of season 5 was just great. I laughed. Then shortly after that, Walt was telling Skyler how much Jesse knows about the two of them. It's quickly followed by this scene: In other news, I'm really hoping that the Saul Goodman spinoff features more...
