They are so not French Fries. They are Belgian fried potatoes and any Belgian will tell you so! It is all a huge lie perpetuated by the French, which is what makes the phrase disgusting and nasty. Mmmmmmmmm... French Fries!!! *me drools* Salty, starchy goodness. _____________________

J'ai pas  I dunno that I should say what it is. After I got advice from Veritable Argent upset my apple cart. Then after I took that review on board along with a handful of paracetamol, some extreme gamer psychos from the North told me I was insane to only get the 220. So off I had to go on a custom builder goosechase. Now that it is bought I don't want any bad reviews  It's a new NVidia on W7 processed by a Phenom.Pep (If it works, who cares?) _____________________

isnt it awful! i hope they have bifocal contacts. i cant see crap in my glasses. i hate being 40!!! &*%$$#!!! I noticed that while wearing my contacts I had started to be unable to read things close up. I could read them just fine w/o the contacts. I asked my eye doctor what was going on. He asked, "You really want me to tell you?" Of course, I do, I said. He replied: "You're getting old." I coulda clocked him.  |

We all are Mo, we all are. Have you started making sounds when you stand up from a chair?

Yes, but probably not the sounds you are thinking of. Grunts, groans and the popping of joints? BRB, I need to chase some kids off my lawn. _____________________

One time, someone in the Forum bitched at me for stereotyping Walmart Shoppers. SO.... Here's my Proof!!! http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/ FYI: I prefer Target! I don't shop at WalMart, mostly because there isn't one within easy striking distance, but I've seen these same folks at my Target, Home Depot, etc.  |

I started a thread about avatars run by the opposite sex over in SLU. http://www.sluniverse.com/php/vb/general-sl-discussion/38071-show-me-your-avatar-opposite.html Just an excuse to flaunt my alt.  Well, what do you think about "him"?I think he looks great. I really like the specs. And he seems very nicely proportioned. |

Sometimes it takes me an hour or longer to hop in the shower (go shopping, do the laundry, whatever) once I've decided to do.
Ohhhh shinny.... _____________________

I was commenting on Gizmodo about the Amazon Kindle the other day, trying to explain the benefits of the e-ink display (delightfully easy on the eyes) and the resizable text. Of course, some twenty-something twerp comes along and sasses me, telling me to go to the eye doctor. Kids. My only solace is the knowledge that middle age will creep up on them too someday. Yeah, but by then there will be some sort of medical breakthrough that will eliminate the need for glasses, contacts or laser surgery. Probably Retinax. And with my luck, I'll be like Jim Kirk and have an allergy to it. _____________________

A silly little clip I made with a pic from the Cartel's hangout. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dZQqutgjWI I liked your vid Rafe. I'm a big fan of retro advertising. Lots of interesting print ads here: http://community.livejournal.com/vintage_ads/ I've also been to some interesting documentary film festivals featuring "mental hygiene" films. One in particular was a genre of films shown in schools way back in the day that deal with social issues like how to behave on a date and the perils of homosexuality, pre-marital sex and illicit drugs. OMG they are so great. http://www.archive.org/details/coronet_instructional_videos They are really worth checking out! Here's just one sampling "Are you popular?" http://www.archive.org/details/AreYouPo1947 _____________________
