Neuroses Test
 

Even super-naive little Girl Scout me knew X was around in HS, so I'd assume it was pretty big down here.

I did go shroom-picking in college once with someone who is now in professional sales and distribution of mind-altering substances*, but was too chicken to try the stuff.

-T(bawk bawk bawk)L

* Still good friends - we just don't talk shop.

Neuroses Test
 

X and other assorted drugs (illegal, prescription, shrooms) were very, very big in Florida in the mid-80s.

Easy access to the supply chain, I would assume, along with completely absentee parents and no interest in nannies for kids over the age of 14.

Many classmates were in residential rehab at one point or another while we were in high school.

One kid I grew up with is now in prison for dealing heroin while we were in high school -- the rest are doctors, lawyers, blah, blah, blah.

No Surprises Here
 

This should surprise no one:

Your score is 20.

You are going straight to Hell! You appear to have the courage and conviction to live as an individual in a world that pressures you to become a conformist. You are a seeker of knowledge and an artist of life. Your future will never be peaceful, but you will be alive.


I've got some stuff to teach all of you once we're all down there. In the mean time, go take those pharmaceuticals you've been talking about and come back tomorrow with some amusement.

Neuroses Test
 

Yes. In college, on shrooms, several friends decided we needed to go to "the middle". Much discussion ensued as to where exactly "the middle" was. We finally decided to go up to the quad, stand around the edges, and walk until we bumped into each other. Once there, we sat in a circle and informed anyone who walked by us, "Dude, we're in the middle."

Also remember X with great fondness. I remember going to the ATM machine, withdrawing a $20, and walking up to the local panhandler (who always said "Nickles, dimes, quarters. Any spare change?"...if you recognize this, you now know where I went to college), giving him said $20 and telling him I loved him. I think this left me with like $4.17 in my bank account at the time.

Also, as I recall, sex was pretty awesome on X...


[edited to add: See, TM, I was telling random people I loved them long before the FB]

Beg to differ. But I believe this conversation has been done already. Typically leads to multiple anonymous fashionistas...

You have the greatest avatar. Ever. But that rank is just not holding up its end of the bargain.

A couple possibilities:

"Go ahead, make my pussy's day"

or, a la Mister Ruysbroek,

"Don't Fuck With My Pussy"

Hust my opinion. That is all.

Edited to add:

"Happiness is a Warm Gun"

and

(for Ahnuld): "Go Ahead, Make My Day".

I know, I know, too obvious.

COnfidential to Leagleaze
 

Those are too obvious. But if someone comes up with a good creative one, I'll be happy to use it.

Thank you for the compliment on the avatar however.


As a side note, I have had a couple nibbles about advertising on our site. I am going to have a conversation with a headhunter tomorrow about it.

While I was preparing for our call I pulled some statistics out. They were pretty neat so I thought I'd share them.

We've been open now for 7 months. In that time we have had 2088079 page views and 815,394 forum views. That's about 300k page views/month and 115k forum views/month.

We still have 25-35 members signing up every week. Even discounting Penske's socks (I know you don't sock any more) that is still 20 or so.

Last week we had 1800 posts which is the most we have ever had in one week. Including our opening week.

Pretty damn cool.

I am outraged that there was no acknowledgement in this space of Robust Puppy's personal K today.

Will the same silence great me when I achieve this milestone?

Thanks for quoting this, since I missed it the first time.

How could you hate a movie that's basically just a live action cartoon?

Tell you what Thurgreed . . . how about we send you a copy of Titanic or the English Patient to make up for it, since that must be a little more your speed.

For Poker Pro's
 

Since it appears there are at least a few card players around here, would anyone have a recommendation for a good computer Hold' Em program? Not looking for a website, since my preference is to play a few hundred thousand hands to get some insight into odds before playing for money. (And not playing for money is meaningless).

Your ideas appreciated.

COnfidential to Leagleaze
 

Not the great you, I'm sure. Indeed.

Hey, RP, way to sneak through below the radar!

Wow, I'm fascinated to know which of you are neurotic, holier-than-me and/or going straight to hell. I couldn't possibly have figured this out without the benefit of your test scores and I must take these tests myself without further delay.

Then I will inform each and every one of you of the results because I am sure you can't wait to find out about ME.

Wouldn't it be easier to get a book about hold-em and read about the odds?

Your score is 60.

You are definitely neurotic, but there is still hope for you.

In other news (no shocks here):

Your score is 36.

You are going straight to Hell! You appear to have the courage and conviction to live as an individual in a world that pressures you to become a conformist. You are a seeker of knowledge and an artist of life. Your future will never be peaceful, but you will be alive.


Your score is 44.

Congratulations, you have passed the Hypocrite Test! You are officially Unholier Than Thou. The world is a happier place with you in it.

Bilmore, please scroll past as usual.

Also to whoever asked earlier today, according to Fox the Paradise Island finale is Wednesday night. I will not be issuing reminders for this, as I can't bear to watch now that Toni is gone. Because I hate her.

Upon further review this evening, Michael is way too gross looking to be a model. Still/airbrushed or not. So is the consensus that Melissa dumped one ugly loser for another one? In any event good of her to get away from model boy (cough). 2 stayed together, 2 split -- how does this measure up to prior seasons?



Green Bay better not give this game back to da Bears...

Argh. She is now relegated to interviewing Brett Favre's daughter and saying stupid things about him being a whispering/ballcap wearer coach. Any bets on whether she lasts the season? Truly awful. I guess they thought she might at least remember his name.

lisa g
 

She'll last the season. She's going to make more gaffes, but unless she makes a tasteless/offensive comment, they won't pull the trigger.

When the bar has been set by journalistic luminaries like O.J. Simpson and Eric Dickerson, you have a lot of slack.

Pack your bags and your tastebuds!
 

Cool. I'm down with this, only please me tell that you didn't say anything about it to Pretty Little Flower. The dude was a lively wit, a bon vivant if you will, very very oh so 2000, but at this point the only thing more boorish than PLF is PLF on pisco sours.

I veto his attendance.

EDITED TO ADD: Don't tell him I veto'd him. He burned me a Divas mixed CD from his collection in exchange for helping him get back on the A-list.

I'm guessing 12-15. Just a guess. YMMV.

FWIW, I dig her. No offense. OTOH, me no watchee MondayNightFootball.

No words can do this picture more justice than the horrified look on her face knowing she must now go home and boil her hand but, what I will say is that First Lady Laura is fo shizzle one classy and beautiful women. Quite a change from that black pantsuited piece of fatass that we had to endure for 8 hellacious years.

W did good. Fo shizzle.

For Poker Pro's
 

If the idea was to understand odds in a vacuum, sure. Got that covered. But that's not what I'm after (perhaps the original post was unclear) -- having a program allows for practical application of odds in an infinite variety of situations. Rather than trying to figure that my pair of Ks is a 3-1 favorite* when there are two other players in the hand after a 8-3-2 rainbow flop in thirty seconds or less, I'd like to have played that possibility a couple times to have the sense that I'm a strong favorite based on experience before thinking about outs or what anyone else might have.

Learning by doing as opposed to book learning (applies to many subjects, see also law, sex, etc).

* odds made up b/c I don't feel like calculating them

Wow. What sort of audience do you suppose that look is designed for?

Apropos of nothing, Ashley turned that role down in order to do a six-month stint on Broadway (see? I did more than merely ogle the cover -- I actually read the article).

Anyway, I love Halle. Unlike Atticus and TM, I believe that Halle and Ashley can coexist peacefully.

Why thank you, sock king. I'm up to the third draft of the k post. Trying to make it witty and clever. Not too long, not too short. With something in it for everyone. LOL inspiring, yet poignant. A real feel good post that will be cherished for ages and carried around in fber wallets across the country.


And because I have this daunting task, I will combine posts to mention to TF that she has my empathy on the Heatley/Snyder car wreck -- http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...x.html?cnn=yes

Unfortunately, I recently discovered that Chirac worked at the Anheuser Busch plant in St. Louis at some point in his life.

"I still like a Bud," he said before an interview Tuesday, recalling time he spent hauling Budweiser beer while operating a forklift at the Anheuser-Busch brewery in St. Louis 50 years ago."

Don't get me wrong, he still gives me the creeps but his like of Budweiser certainly helps to tone down the fucking French thing.


Sort of a surreal day what with the accident happening right after seeing them at the party last night. Deep thoughts for Dany and Dan.
:sniffle:


edited to thank ncs. Sometimes I feel more attached to these guys than to my own family -- I gotta work on this sports neurosis.

Pack your bags and your tastebuds!
 

Oh, Brother Penske.

Let us put down that rock before flinging it at the glass house of PLF. Upping the ante like this will only increase the inevitable pressure for negative stories on you to emerge.

Like, that night when you started drinking "tea" and next thing you know, we're talking about your joys of posting as Hillary's Big Ol' Butt.* Penske, friend, I'm here for ya in the ensuing lawsuit, but I'm just sayin'.

But it's not a good live action cartoon, dumbass.

That makes sense. Your movie recs suck so I must like Titanic, the second worst movie (behind Pearl Harbor) ever.

Well, given the post title, and my reaction, I would say ME.

You preferred a derivative studio flick to Once Upon a Time in Mexico? From here on out, Thurgreed, please ignore all my movie recommendations.

Here's a question more your speed:

Was 2 Fast 2 Furious faster and furiouser than the original?
