So, at the risk of proving to everyone that I am chronically un-hip, here's my situation: my wife and I hardly ever watch television, because we are always busy with one thing or another in the evenings. If we do have a little time at home, we might watch a movie from Netflix. Someone we...

I saw this in another bulletin board, and thought I would share here. Three Wolves T-Shirt. Check out the "Customers Who Viewed This Item Also Viewed" section. From the reviews: Belkon AKDL1 Dedication Link Cable:

On separate occasions, my wife and I have taken two-week vacations to England, France, and Italy. I know this is not enough time to see a country, and we only really saw the north of France and the north of Italy. Anyway, for our next trip, we would like to either go to Spain (and Portugal?)...

History and Overview Our local comedy improv group (Improv Schmimprov) plays a game where the emcee goes around the audience asking for the names of random objects. Then he puts each object into one of the following sentences: I like my women like I like my <object>: Yo momma is like an...

I read "Left Behind" (just the first book) a few years ago out of curiosity, and it made me curious about why the people disappeared. I had broached this subject on another message board, and thought I would re-ask it here. Christians and other who bury their dead make a clear distinction...

In my next acting role, I am playing Sir Evelyn Oakleigh in Anything Goes. I am working on the English accent with a CD and some coaching from the director, and the text is obviously from the script so I don't have to worry about word choice. If some of you chaps from across the pond would...

Please post your favorite pithy sayings here. They can range from the sublime: Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once. To the ridiculous: I'd rather have a free bottle in front of me, than a pre-frontal lobotomy. To the inane: Wherever you go, there you are. To...

Lately if I have a few extra minutes to kill, I like sifting through YouTube and watching random videos. (Obviously if I have more time, I would be playing Civ.) Anyway, I know we have a favorite videos thread, but I am looking instead for what are your favorite search patterns to find...

Joseph Campbell is one of my heroes. He was an expert on comparative mythology and comparative religion. At his death in 1987, he left a significant body of unpublished work, and the Joseph Campbell Foundation was founded in 1991 to preserve, protect, and perpetuate this work. A recent...

So I'm at Taco Bell last night grabbing a bite on the way to rehearsal, and I'm listening to the conversation at the next table, which is between two tattooed guys who are probably roofers or electricians or something similar. I'll call them Biff and Dirk, and I'll try to clean up the language...

So I started a One-City Challenge as Hatsheput on a tiny map so I would have a chance (my last one was on too large a map and I got crushed). I used a "shuffle" map and ended up on one with continents. I expanded fine and I am up to riflemen. I whacked Mansa back, and I whacked Cyrus back...

It's almost the end of the year, and you know what that means: It's time for the Oaties (OT's) awards for off-topic threads. Nominate your favorite categories and the threads that win them. Let's keep it positive, please, no nominating for "most verbose poster" or anything like that. A...

My 15-year-old son just got a detention for racism. He is a bit of a smart-ass, so it is not completely a surprise. I just happen to agree with his statement, and I don't believe it to be racist. It seems his Spanish language club was preparing to help a local Hispanic family at Christmas...

I found the first two of these thread juxtapositions some time ago, but the third one from today is definitely my favorite... :rolleyes: Sorry, I don't know how to get these to show up as full-size pictures.

It's been a long time since I took statistics, so I'm hoping one of you academic types can help me out here. I work in a company that is mainly firmware and software engineers, with a few chip designers thrown in for good measure. There are 82 of us, so I would expect about 7 of us to have a...

So I had this weird dream last night that I was hosting a game show. It wasn't really based on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" It was more like a cross between Jeopardy and Family Feud. Anyway, on my show, the contestants were various philosophers, thinkers, religious leaders, etc. trying to...

Daniel Nahmod is a singer/songwriter who is very popular in New Thought churches, and who is sharing his music throughout the world. His signature song, ”One Power”, is a beautiful view of looking at God from a higher vision that can include all of our metaphors for God. I don’t present this...

In this thread, I would like to introduce the concept of the Pleasure-to-Cost Quotient, or PCQ, and discuss ways to maximize what you get for your money. In short, PCQ is just a term that my wife and I use for the value that we get for our money when buying things we want. Just divide the...

I have always hated fiction that requires time travel as a plot mechanism. For me, it is always the associated space travel that is the problem. Suppose for a moment that I invented a machine that would take me back one year in time (or forward, same issue). The problem is that if I wanted...

I want it to say, "GET OFF THE F***ING PHONE AND DRIVE!!!!" but it only says, "meep." :sad: Does anyone have experience with customizing this? I would like to mount a truck horn, or better yet a train horn, in my car. But hey, I'm a software guy, so it needs to be a fairly simple...
