    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    Having dated women in the USA and abroad, I can say that all women are crazy, it's just a matter ofhowcrazy they get. Your post reminds me of my crazy, Russian ex-girlfriend who was so crazy I ended up fleeing a country to escape her. Sadly those posts were on FoH and are gone now. Anyway...

    Mad Men

    The coolest thing about this episode was that I felt like I was on drugs when watching it. I was just as confused as Don by the jumps in time and overall weirdness of everything. I'm still confused about why Dawn was missing all of last episode. I was expecting that to play a role in this...

    I can tolerate hating on boiled chicken. But hating on dumplings? What. The. Fuck. Dumplings are amazing. Seriously though, I never realized boiling chicken was so rare. I started doing it years ago when I was living abroad among savages in Kazakhstan. They cook all their meat by boiling for...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I'm glad they didn't go with the colored beard for Daario. I don't think that would have translated very well to TV. I like the casting choice for Daario, although I'm not looking forward to the teenage love story between him and Dany. Hopefully they keep that to a minimum; there is already...

    Weight Loss Thread

    Yeah, it's become one of my staples when I don't feel like cooking anything complicated. I often put 2 - 3 pounds of chicken in a big pot on Sunday afternoons and boil enough for the entire week. Sometimes I season it with salt/pepper/other spices, but sometimes I'll just leave it plain. Like I...

    "Advice about starting to cook food for myself" is a pretty general statement. Are you looking for specific recipes? Do you have any cooking experience? What kinds of things do you like? I linked this website back towards the beginning of the thread and I think it deserves to be linked here...

    What do you do?

    The world of government contracting has been slowly crushing my soul for the past year for a measly 35k/year, which is basically unlivable around Washington, D.C. I don't know how the hell people can stand being in this business longterm. I'm seriously considering saying fuck it all and going...

    Upcoming new TV shows/miniseries

    Seeing a show like Dracula on NBC pains me. A show dealing with Dracula would be much better suited to AT LEAST basic cable, and ideally a pay channel like HBO, Showtime, or Starz. Let the standard networks stick to forumlaic cop, medical, legal dramas and situation comedies rather than waste...

    I'm going to hop in here before all the Negative Nancys show up and talk about how awful everything was. Great final episode. Things I really liked: - All the people at the panel saying the things the entire internet has been saying about Pam - Pam herself realizing what an idiot she's...

    Mad Men

    The combination of Mad Men and this thread makes me feel like a complete idiot. I don't see any of this stuff you guys are discussing when I watch. I was like "wtf is going on" during the weird/awkward domination scenes.

    Americans are the only ones who make decent sour candy. All the "sour" candy I've tried overseas was some pansy shit. American sour candy will turn your face inside out. These are technically Canadian but they're AMAZING so I'll give them a pass. This is by far the best of the Sour Patch Kids...

    I've eaten at a few "famous" places in Washington D.C over the last several years and I've always been disappointed. I guess it's like wine, where you have to really be into the food to notice a difference? Each time I've eaten at these supposedly amazing places opened by world class chefs I...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Well put. I think you explain the super casual player's feelings towards the event well, whereas LadyVex is explaining the Progression Guild Players' feelings. Both are valid, of course; it just depends on which group you fall into. As a super casual player at the time I really enjoyed the AQ...

    Upcoming new TV shows/miniseries

    The Michael J. Fox Show looks good, but I hope they don't overplay the Parkinsons angle. A few jokes relating to it here and there would be fine, but if they rely on it for all the laughs it'll get old really quickly.

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    That's why I don't click on TV/Movie threads between the time of release(airing, for TV shows) and the time I see it. I avoided the Iron Man thread for the entire week between the international release and the US midnight showing I went to. It's the only way to be safe!

    Yeah, pretty much the same for me as well. In general people are disgusting creatures that barely give a shit about their own hygiene and cleanliness, let alone that of others (i.e those dining in the restaurant). When left to their own devices without risk of getting caugt, most people will do...

    The Delicious Candy Thread

    In general I've never been a big fan of dark chocolate. It's too bitter. That said, there are a few candy bars that use it which I enjoy; I think it depends on the combination of flavors and whether they mellow out the dark chocolate's bitterness or not. Speaking of dark chocolate, has anyone...
