i'm kind of glad that the chinese "americanize" their food for us.

Has anybody seen the movie Faces of Death? If you have then you have seen monkey brains....

Just trolling around the old posts and got to this one.....I too have never run across a woman that required coming up for air every 30 seconds...if you learn to breathe through your nose you can go forever.

If it is the smell that is objectionable maybe you should pick a different gal, maybe one who practices good Hygiene?

We run a small mechanical contracting company and we end up in all kinds of neighborhoods in our area. I was in a poorer neighborhood and noticed how much...um....well, trash, garbage, junk there was just lying around compared to the none in my neighborhood. (Not implying I'm rich by any standard)

I could see 4 or 5 garbage cans within 100 feet and there was probably enough crap around to fill them all. So I guess what I am wondering is....Are the people in this neighborhood slobs because they are poor or poor because they are slobs?

Is all of the junk just an indication of their apathy due to their lot in life?
Is it cultural? Not ethnic really 'cause this area is probably the most diverse in town.
I can't tell you all the homes I go into where I wouldn't let my dog live yet they have a giant tv, cell phones, spinner rims, giant stereos etc....

I just don't get it....I ask this question to myself all of the time and I never get an answer that explains it all to my satisfaction.

It's not usually bad hygiene per se that causes the bad smell, but rather bacterial infection. Though personally speaking, I've never been with someone who smelt so bad that I had to stop, well, because of the smell.

I was cleaning my windows while getting gas today and out of the corner of my eye I saw this girl punching the crap out of her boyfriend (I'm guessing) while he just put up his arms in front of his face. I have no Idea what the situation was all about but couldn't help thinking about under what conditions I would allow anyone to tee off on me.

I am a pretty big guy and generally don't need to resort to physical violence to solve my problems. (I am willing to in certain situations) I can't imagine hitting a woman. My wife and I have a standing agreement that it is off limits for both of us. But.....if someone was teeing off on me like that I don't know if I could resist.

Until the other morning I never realized that there was a difference but there is and this is what it looks like.

Good reflexes will enable you to catch a falling object without thinking of it as it falls (say your wifes razor in the shower). Where Fast reflexes will only allow you to get your hand in the way of a falling object and retract it again before you can thinking of it. However this interaction with the battery operated, six blade, FM transmitter, razor with a prissy pink handle will leave you a small bleeding reminder that smarts every time you hit the D,E or C on you keyboard.

Not that Im complaining because that would be pussy.

I did the same thing with a pyrex bowl, as i caught it, i smashed it into the work surface in the kitchen and ended up slicing my finger pretty badly. I was bored at work the next day and took a photo.
