Most of you this Christmas will receive gift cards from well-meaning relatives and co-workers. They're pretty cool: you can buy what you want. But, you can make them even cooler by visiting this website before you go cash them in:

I have a PS2, and hockey is the best video sport, yet my newest hockey game is from PS1. What is wrong with me?

Merry Christmas!
Words to live by from RicerX, "When you buy BBQ sauce at the supermarket, don't spend any money on it. They all taste the fucking same. Don't be buying expensive BBQ sauce. Get the cheapest one."

The best place in the world to find your steaks is in the discount/price to sell area.... most restaurants pay alot of money to have thier steaks aged in a very similar process.

Can someone clue me in as to why people fear illegal immigrants so much?
In the news section right now there's a story that Congress approved a bill requiring that 650 miles of fence be errected on the Mexican border.
At least it isn't land mines, right?

I don't necessarily fear them, but I believe what they do is extremely dishonest. They move over here illegally so they won't have to pay any taxes, and then they send their tax-free money back to Mexico where it's worth a hell of a lot more. Plus it's not that hard to actually go through the act of getting a citizenship.
strongmad:
Yeah, I'm thinking the "like to play with your ass" stuff should probably wait until at least college.
I don't "fear" them, but like Trevallion I resent the deleterious effect they have on our country. One of the things that holds the world together is the respect for the sovereignty of nations. These people disrespect and disregard that. There are mechanisms in place to come into out country if you want to. Follow those, or don't ask for anything from us once you get here.
"Illegal" immigrants. They are outside the laws we have made together as a society.

Is there anything really mind-blowingly cool going on in the Internet, right now?
Do you think it's obnoxious when Americans are into other cultures' religions (e.g. buddhism, qabbalah, etc.)?

oh and in answer to your question, exactly what Strongmad said.
fractured:
What is religion? If it's something to do with other cultures' food, I'm all for it.
I went to the Wine & Liquor in Kirkland last night to stock my home bar. $90 later, I've got a good selection of booze and mixers at home. It's not anywhere close to complete, but I've certainly got the basics plus a couple of dessert liquors like Irish Cream and 90 proof Kahlua.

I think I'm going to start hanging out at your place a lot more. We can't have you getting restless and resorting to making drinks for the cats to keep your skills sharp.

I haven't seen Alias at all. I know I kept trying to avoid Lost because it just didn't seem that engaging. Sometimes, only sometimes, I like being wrong.
I'm now a licensed bartender!

Completely unrelated, but about a year ago, I discovered that my business checking acccount had $10,000 more than it should have. Pleased and amazed, I worked out that Washington Mutual had credited the same deposit twice.
I called around, asking people I could trust for advice on what my options were -- could I just close out...

Congrats on becoming a bartender though. That's great.
Yeah, had it been me I'd have waited a few months myself before I closed out my account. By then you would have been able to proclaim plausible deniability.

Bleh! 
Being grown adults with responsibilities and apartments and all that, you're likely familiar with the friend in trouble situation, right? Where something horrible happens to them, just blood-curdling shit, like an abusive boyfriend or a violent roommate or something. They're practically weeping and you care for them, so you invite them to stay with you for a few weeks so they can get their shit...

I can get behind that, yeah. And what's more, you posit an interesting theory. Food for thought, my favorite dinner.

Fine, I'll sleep in my car. Dick.
When I work too much*, my brain gets all adolescent on me and suddenly I need video games. Like right now, I'm thinking about buying a Playstation 2 just so I can play Burnout 3 and Katamari Damacy.
No, I've never played these games before. No, I've never seen screenshots or online trailers -- but I've heard good things about them!
I'm weird and retarded....

Dude take a break. Oh, and video games aren't adolescent! They are fucking awesome! Get a PS2 have some fun man!
Yuck. The insurance company came out to look at our Mustang. They're declaring it totaled. The agent thought it would be too expensive to fix.
We'll find out what their offer is in 48 hours.
I could say something about cars having unique personalities that can't be replaced by a check, or that old people should have to retake driving tests periodically to retain their...

I'm just laughing that Stuzzy had a Fiero.
With the bugged disappearance of my favorite suicidegirls (lame!), it occurs to me that most of the girls I had stamped were there solely for having one or two really hot pictures buried somewhere in their sets.
The thing is, I'd forget about those one or two pictures and never look at their sets again.
Here's to pointing at hot photos and hollering.

I had girls up there that I had either met in person or have been friends with on the site forever. I don't feel like putting new ones up.
