So apparently my shoulder is sprained. The clavicle dislodged a bit and raised up a few inches. The PA (doc wasn't in) told me there was nothing I could do except take an anti-inflammatory and try not to move it too much. She said it would take 3-4 weeks to heal. Anyone have any experience with...

Fucked up my other shoulder at the gym last night. It hurts the worst when I just leave my arm hanging straight down or when I reach across my body and the bone is really tender. Overhead hurts a bit too but not as bad as when I leave it hanging at my side. All that ice hockey, baseball and...

I would just send them a very nice thank you like you have planned and skip doing anything else for them. I would take them out to dinner a month or two down the road, after the honeymoon. It's a lot more sincere to do it after some time has passed rather than just "return the favor before we...

The amount of effort some of you put into figuring out your exact calorie intakes is dizzying. It's commendable that you try so hard to keep yourselves from eating like shit but goddamn, eating right isn't as difficult as some of you make it out to be.

"Hey guys, I'm playing as the cleric but I want to roll on all the wizard gear" "Fuck you I'm playing as a wizard I should get dibs, not you and your "secondary class" Being able to play "any class" that you happen to unlock solves some problems and creates some more. Nothing is perfect...

Good god, I go away for the weekend with no internet access, come back expecting to see some solid information and all I get are these small tidbits? So the graphics are stylized and it has a homegrown minecraft engine. That's what they waited for SOE Live to show? What a joke.

Little? Eat me for breakfast? Come on dude. Maybe I should have had the foresight to be wearing a skin tight jersey shore armani wife beater.

This doesn't prove anything about my lifting claims but it does show the transformation I went through: Me at 280lbs Me 10 months later Me after I bulked up a bit, I actually am not sure on timeline but I had broken past 300 by this point and it was less than a year after the...

Boy did I cause a stir. You guys don't believe me, it's fine, I can see why you wouldn't.

Grumpy Old Men, now there's a classic

The ones with edge of your seat "Are they going to get together at the end" dramatic flare

Well that made me laugh.

Alright, alright I get it. It was stupid to talk about what I could or could not lift in any capacity. Carry on.

Pussy.

I don't know what the ratings are like for Parks and Rec but it's my favorite sitcom on TV. I love it. So I'm glad they haven't cancelled it.

I was completely obsessed back then. I didn't think about anything except for that, so in that regard I was probably exactly like all the guys who end up doing it professionally. You know, I wouldn't believe me either from the other side of the fence so I don't really blame anyone for calling...

I can't, That was 4 years ago, and then I had surgery. Of course, now everyone is going to say "Oh sure sure, complete bullshit". I weigh 195 now and can't even put up 300 anymore. I don't know why I'm even arguing the point anyway, the original post was just to illustrate that you can still...

So you're telling me I coulda been somebody? Shit, I wish this thread was around 7 years ago. From what I saw at the gym I was going to during that time period I never even considered myself elite in my own little personal world. The numbers you are giving about bench pressing records seem...

I don't even know what to say. I had no idea competitions like that even existed, maybe I should have tried to find them? Or maybe I was doing the presses in a way they don't recognize as a "clean press"? I understand the skepticism since you're posting (if they are legit) state records and it...

Well, I'm not full of shit, and have never taken any steroids. Shit I never even took any supplements, protein shakes, or things like creatine either. And there were guys around my weight, at around 180-185 at my gym who could lift more than me. I never thought I was even close to some kind of...

It's always comical to see someone refute a point with sarcasm. Ark I lost a ton of weight and am very healthy, there were no apparent side effects, it's been 7 years since that dramatic drop so I'm not sure what kind of point you're trying to make with the Cinnabon comment. I'd be even...

Hrmm... 18 months is a long time Elurin. Not sure why you seem to think it's so outlandish. Obviously I don't have video documented proof of the timeline but my routine was, every week I would up my max by 5 lbs on every exercise. I did 5 sets of 3 reps on most exercises. So for example, on flat...

The fact I didn't get penalized is my reward.

If no one is claiming it's bad for you, why are so many people fighting over it?

As someone who did Atkins and lost ~100 lbs in 10 months I can give you some anecdotal evidence on "power" lifting while in Ketosis. I have no idea about the science behind it, or if I was just an anomaly but with just eating good protein and fats and a low carb diet consisting of mainly green...

This would make the game about as bland as current WoW. Might as well just instance shit if all the loot is going to be exactly the same.

Yea where is that idea coming from? I certainly remember doing a good portion of my levelling outside dungeons in EQ. I didn't start until Kunark but I leveled in Swamp of No Hope (was that the name?), LOIO, The Overthere, the giant fort in I can't remember what zone now, shit I even did some...

I don't like the idea of phasing. "Hey we're standing right next to each other but I can't see you because I haven't fulfilled some stupid mundane requirement to be in your phase". No thanks. If you want to show me what the world was like before I arrived here, do it caverns of time style.

A system where, say, 90% of a dungeon is uninstanced but there are two rare spawn named mobs and the only way to get to said named mobs is by finding the keys to their "instances"? You find the keys off of roaming named at 100% drop rate and .2% drop rate off random trash? Then once you have the...

His character is pretty much an older version of his character in American Pie, yes. He even tries something else ridiculous with his jimmy at someone's suggestion later on in this show

I found the first few episodes of this show a little boring. Piper was overly naive, sweet and annoying. Jason Biggs is a terrible actor who can only play one role poorly. The middle episodes (up until about episode 8) were fantastic. Very funny, compelling storylines, good character...

This is probably my biggest guilty pleasure

I didn't mean to make it sound like that. I get to take a legitimate 5 weeks of vacation when all is said and done. It's just hard to get that last 3 weeks in, but that last 3 weeks is... above and beyond in my eyes anyway. I was using slight hyperbole to prove a point that sometimes you need to...

Alright people are focusing on the wrong portions of the message I am trying to convey. So let me lay it out. I make 130k/yr. I have great benefits, I work 15 minutes from my house, I get 8 weeks of vacation. My company would never require me to forfeit vacation nor would they ever deny me...

He's got a point though. It's painful to watch a show you love devolve into complete crap. I think he's being generous with how long it takes. Weeds took 2.5 seasons. Californication took 2.5 seasons (the end of season 1 til halfway through season two were absolute shit. It got better in...

Well if it was as simple as returning a call or email it wouldn't be a problem. There are times where I literally spend a full 8 hours fixing things that someone who was trying to help me broke. It's not that big a deal. I don't typically take week long vacations. Usually just long weekends here...

I've used Match, OKC and POF. I can basically echo most of what Wombat said. The exception being that on Match, because people are paying for it, they tend to fall into the trap of "I will find the PERFECT person". I met a lot of very insincere people on Match who were trying to front...

You guys crack me up. So statistically I have the same chance, living in CT, of dying in a Tornado, as someone who lives in the Midwest? I guess you guys think demographics are useless? When you post a blanket statement saying "Everyone in the United States has the same chance of dying to...

"You don't want what you've never had". Water coolers and free coffee are things that if you've never had you don't really care about it, because you don't even think about it as you said. Once you've been at a company that offers it, and move to a company that does not, it becomes a supreme...

When people make retarded posts with uninformed bullshit statistical analysis like this: Because everyone in the US is at the same risk to meet their demise via the listed possibilities. You know why I'm not 87 times more likely to die from drowning? Because I know how to fucking swim. You...
