The trick with cooking and ironing is to not burn anything.

I know non-gay dudes who obsess over their appearance. Not a hair out of place, every clothing item cleaned and pressed. They're like peacocks.

Nope. Just wanted an excuse to post that song, it amuses me.

Edit: And if the 21 year olds around here don't make fun of you, who will? We wouldn't want you guys to get so nostalgic you forget about your training rides.

Robocop is very accurate. I don't think he'd have missed like 3 open-net goals today.

i'm watching the replay of todays us/algeria game. lots of empty seats. i've noticed this at most games i've watched. unusual, no?

one of my co-workers went to japan in 2002 for the wc and had to get tix months in advance. it's my understanding that that's typical.

There is no connection between the massive number of ATM machines installed around the same time that blow became popular. To believe that this was true would require one to believe that the US Government and the banking industry might be complicit in and had knowledge of the drug trade, and have the realization that my friends and I would need cash at 2 AM on a Saturday night. And 4AM. and 6AM. And so on through Sunday afternoon. And occasionally Sunday night. But only a real coke head would still be going on Monday.
