I've always assumed the worst about all charities. I know there are some good ones out there, but it's hard to tell the good from the bad. If I can't actually see the result of the money I give then I don't like giving it. Which is why I've never donated outside of small, local organizations run...

When I eat at Silver Diner I always play the old Batman theme song.

I'll be seeing it again as well, probably at a very off-peak time. Last night we had half the ghetto sitting behind us saying shit like "Da fuck, I aint pay no 15 dollas ta see dis muh fucker find hisself yo. Where da action at?" Thankfully "da action" showed up in the second half of the movie...

The action was great, as expected, although the pacing seemed off. I think the thing that made me enjoy The Avengers much more than this was the fact that The Avengers had great action pretty evenly spaced throughout the movie. Man of Steel's action seemed to be heavily back loaded in...

eHarmony doesn't actively discriminate against gays, but there are no settings to get same-sex matches. If you're a guy you only get female matches and vice-versa.

Guys, we should get this thread back on track as we've kind of strayed from the original idea. So anyway, I've got an amphibious black bear at home who is going on 18 years old and he's started suffering from severe arthritis and the webbing between his claws has begun drying out and ripping...

I remember those hanging choads during the 2000 election.

Looks like they're strictly West/South West going by the map on their website. I've never heard of them before. In other fast food news, I tried Panda Express for the first time in a very, very long time today. for 8.50ish they give a ridiculous amount of food.

That one guy's horse in the trailer is amphibious. Xerxes is too much like a Goa'uld. I kept expecting him to yell "Jaffa! Kree!"

Why would we want to stop that? Oh sorry this isn't the racist thread.

I use a new razor every other day because my hair is thicker than tree stumps.

I'm happy to get GOOD bonus material (i.e everything that happened "behind the scenes", so to speak, in the book). I'm not happy we get to see Legolas woo Kate from Lost.

It's probably because I only ate at touristy places, but the kebabs and doners I had in Istanbul were awful compared to ones I've gotten in the USA and other countries at Turkish restaurants.

Roughly 75% of my company's employees work from home. That said, there is definitely a noticeable difference between many of them; i.e, you can generally tell the ones who wake up whenever the fuck they want, hardly work, and surf porn all day from the ones who act like they're in an office. I...

If you don't know how to swim you won't go in the water, which means your chance of drowning is virtually 0! If you are a good swimmer you'll splash around constantly and risk all the terrible hazards of the depths!

So much truth in this thread.

I thought they didn't sew, cause that's girly shit.

God I love living in a country that has a "Hot Dog and Sausage Council". God Bless America!

Why the hell are you listening to the professor's personal life? If your professor is talking about his/her personal, you have a shitty professor. And somewhere on the Internet that guy is posting on a forum about how he went to a single person restroom and someone had pissed all over the seat...

Where are all the great hot dog fast food places? Hamburgers everywhere, and yet I've never come across a Five Guys type of place for hot dogs. I'm sure they exist here and there, but I'm surprised there isn't a successful, nationwide chain.

I had great success with eHarmony*. It varies wildly depending on where you are, but I was matched with some awesome girls and had some really great dates. The main thing I liked about it was that it didn't require me to craft some witty message to get girls' attention; I just signed up and...

People who know how to swim drown quite often.

I went by the bike shop today to browse and I ended up leaving with a used Trek 820 for $250. It seems like it's in great shape, but we'll see how well it holds up in the long run. Anyway, I figure getting a Trek for the price of a shitty Walmart/Target bike is pretty good.

It sounds like typical retail/service industry scheduling bullshit. That's part and parcel to working in those kinds of jobs. Did you explain the reason for changing your availability? Maybe they just think you want weekends off so you can sleep off your Friday night partying. Anyway, it...

This thread is living up to its name. Lots of PUSSY SHIT.

I just found out I'm losing the biggest fringe benefit my job offers: my boss is an old friend of mine and my best friend's wife. It was so easy to get time off, knock off early when I needed/wanted, and the work environment was great. She put in her notice today so she's out at the end of...

What kind of job do you have? The fact that you being available 24 hours a day during the week implies that your job relies heavily on round-the-clock availability. In that case, I can't really fault your employer for factoring your availability so heavily into your employability. The fact...

eHarmony is really good if you're looking for serious dating/relationships. It's shitty if you're just looking for friendship/casual stuff because it has lots of initial hoops to jump through before you can really start communicating with someone. Plenty of Fish or OKCupid are probably ideal...

Movie critics are worthless. This is common knowledge.

Shut your whore mouth! Rankin & Bass Smaug was awesome and that's how he should be portrayed here.

Dragon looks stupid (at least, his head does). He looks eerily similar to Godzilla from that awful Matthew Broderick movie.

It's always baffled me how Pete is good at accounts. Unlike Roger, who is often shown as having the ability to be a smooth talker with clients, Pete is pretty rarely shown being competent.

I'm confused; was Tywin a merman or not?

If I'm unsure of how to pronounce something at an ethnic place I just sound that shit out like any true American would. I'm no damn, dirty ape who points at his food.

Tebow's there just in case the Patriots have to face the Giants again, since Eli is Tom Brady kryptonite.

I think this applies to pretty much any "productive" work. I do a lot of writing in my job and while I do lots of reading during revisions/editing, I almost never end up reading the finished, published product. I've found that if I read the finished product I have a tendency to second guess...

Awesome, thanks for the suggestion of Race Pace. I'd never heard of them before but I just spent some time looking over their site and it looks like they have some good prices on quality bikes. Great locations as well. I think what I'll do is buy a cheapo bike now and if I find myself still...

The way I understand it is that A-1 means he's eligible for the draft; i.e he's on the list now to go and serve. He technically could have avoided it because he was in school, but as an act of protest (against his parents?) he filled out his card and sent it in anyway, resulting in him being...

Sadly my old bike is so rusted I can't even read what's written on it anymore, so I have no idea what brand it is. My brother bought it used from a coworker about 10 years ago, and I got it from him about 5 years ago and rode it for a couple years before going abroad. Everything on it is...
