Two things:

1. The roman numeral for "4" is "IV" not "IIII"

2. How come you can't come up with a snappy new thread title one of these times? Something like: "The Chit Chat Thread for Mafians - Now considered a good source of Calcium!"

yeah, what they said! :mad: :laugh:

Blarg I don't want to do my midterm this weekend :-/

[HavokAndChaos]

I can't not believe I did not think of that PC version of the phrase, Thawmus. It fits perfectly. Would rep you if I could but I can't, someone get that for me.

[Truffle Shuffle]

After not having cable, TiVo, direct TV or any other such medium for years, and finally getting it again, I'm discovering I wasn't really missing much.

[Wade Wilson]

I only watch House on Monday's and keep my tv on cartoon network so I don't feel alone...

I am not alone cause the TV's on, yea...

[Truffle Shuffle]

I was sick these last few days and couldn't do much but lay in bed and kinda watch tv. SyFy is about all I had any interest in watching and even at that it was mostly reruns of stuff I'd already seen.

[malakim2099]

IIII? Really?

*sigh*

A thousand Latin students are off crying now, all because of you Stan. :p

[DarqFeonix]

Your mission, if you choose to accept it. I'm trying to find a short film I remember watching ten years ago or so, maybe only 5 minutes long.

It dealt with a family, father, mother, sexy teenage daughter, and a little child only a couple years old. They are on the side of the road, flat tire or something, and the teenager is stretched out seductively on the car. A car comes speeding by, gets distracted by the girl, and the little kid runs into the street, gets killed.

Big court case, settlement, then time passes, and there's a scary ending I'd rather not spoil.

Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?

[Silver Lantern]

Big Trouble in Little China?

[Quebbster]

I think 'IIII' is an acceptable alternative to 'IV'... at least on clock faces, but that might be due to symmetry issues.

On a side note, I am just missing a few Weird Actions, so Al might reopen today with a little luck...

[KO Bossy]

Big Trouble in Little China?

One of my all time favorite movies!

[KO Bossy]

SyFy has utterly gone to hell. :disappointed:

We don't get SyFy up here. But I've got a digital cable box that I never watch, so that's fine. Mainly I watch walkthroughs of old games or old tv shows on Youtube. I hardly ever watch tv. Which would explain why I'm out of it when it comes to current events.

I know, my life is to be envied.

[Truffle Shuffle]

In the east an eye blinks,
The currents change,
A Flutterby finds its destiny.

The sun rises,
Wanting to warm the west,
Melt the snow.

A long road trip,
Not just endure, but live,
Both east and west.

Happiness is there, and here,
Yet a puzzle piece always missing,
Until the Flutterby is home.

I was bored. :)

Trust me, the ending is a true OMG. Problem is, I can't even remember where/when I saw it. Possibly on iFilm...

Test went better than I hoped, but Im borderline. I'm guessing I got around 80, and 70 is passing... So we'll see.

[Wade Wilson]

Darq is it a viral video? Also could you put the ending in spoiler tags though it sounds familiar

[DarqFeonix]

Darq is it a viral video? Also could you put the ending in spoiler tags though it sounds familiar

I don't think it's a viral video, it's from way before YouTube. Plus it was quite cinematic. Rokk thinks he knows it... I know others had to've seen it.

This is the ending that I remember. Don't click on it if you don't want to be spoiled once we figure out what it is:

Basically, it's like I said, the family wins a lot of money in the settlement... then as we get to the ending, the family has another car on the side of the road, and the daughter is a bit older, but again, laying out on the car, and a speeding car is coming down the road.

The daughter suddenly says something like "Now." and the pareNts push the new little kid into the road so he's hit by the car (so basically it's all one big murder/fraud scheme). And that's how it ends

[Truffle Shuffle]

This is going to annoy me because I can't find it and I'm pretty good at finding things on the net. Darn you Darqles!

[Wade Wilson]

while not able to find that video, I did stumble upon an alternate universe (http://www.moreprofitsmoreproblems.com/forum/showthread.php?t=271788)...

And in other news, I just got back from She's Out of My League, and I enjoyed it, was very sweet and you leave the film thinking maybe you can find someone yourself...granted I am hoping it doesn't hit hard later that maybe you can't, but iunno *shrugs* I have issues myself just talking to females so :-/

[DocDoom187]

SyFy has utterly gone to hell. :disappointed:

1. True. It's so disappointing

2. I find it funny how they now pronounce it differently. SciFi and SyFy should have the same pronunciations...

[DarqFeonix]

...

...how do they pronounce SyFy? I haven't watched since Warehouse 13 ended last season...

[DocDoom187]

They emphasize the Fy now. Instead of Sci Fi its sy-FY. It's weird.

[Truffle Shuffle]

Well, Spike had the three Star Wars on today. That was good. And I will say again huge, huge beaf with Obi Wan for leaving Anakin there to suffer. Should have made sure the deed was done, if for no other reason than to put him out of his misery. I know, story would have ended. I still can't help not liking Obi Wan a bit for that.

[DarqFeonix]

But he had the higher ground! It was only a given that Ani would die!

[malakim2099]

But he had the higher ground! It was only a given that Ani would die!

Higher ground gives +5 to attack. :)

Ani had a 1 in 4 chance of making that jump as well as 3 in 4 chance of losing a limb while doing it.

Wasn't there a Caprica marathon on on friday? You should have watched that.

SyFy has utterly gone to hell. :disappointed:

I dunno I still enjoy some of what SyFy has to offer. Reruns of old Twilight Zone episodes, Caprica, and I enjoyed their miniseries Alice (re-imagining of Alice in Wonderland sort of). Plus, the next one they are doing is more modern Red Ridding Hood called "Red" starring Felicia Day.

[Wade Wilson]

I haven't seen Alice, hoping to find it on DVD sometime soon :-/

Ha! We get Spike up here! So I'm not totally out of the loop!

Oh and I'm glad that Obi Wan left him there. I don't consider Christensen to be Darth Vader, I consider him to be just Hayden Christensen. So when I look at it, Obi Wan isn't leaving Darth Vader there to burn and suffer, he's leaving Christensen to. After the awful job he did in those movies, he deserved it. Too bad Jake Lloyd couldn't have joined him.

[Truffle Shuffle]

Actually, I did some of it. It wasn't bad. I've only seen the original series of BSG and the first two eps of the next generation (not sure what it's actually being called, so TNG is good for me). I do plan on watching all of it at some point. It's interesting to see the name Adama and wonder how the family gets from where it is now to where it is in the original series. I find I'm most interested in the daughter stuck in the virtual world.

[Truffle Shuffle]

By the way, I hate daylight savings time. I'm going to move to Arizona or Hawaii.

[HavokAndChaos]

I didn't think I was going to be as interested in that story line as I am. New Cap City is awesome.

I forgot about that -_-; glad my alarm clock and computer resets themselves for it

[Truffle Shuffle]

I forgot about that -_-; glad my alarm clock and computer resets themselves for it

Yeah. I use my cell for my alarm in the morning, which automatically changes for DST, but when I got into my car and saw the clock an hour earlier I got a little confused for a minute or two, not realizing this was the weekend it changes. :laugh: Don't make fun of me because I was clueless. :p

[Quebbster]

My girlfriend used to call one of her friends and remind her to adjust her clocks - otherwise she'd forget.
They're no longer friends though...

I didn't remember till I got on here and you had said something then I remembered that my clock is a smart clock so it sets the time by what time zone you are in as well as automatically detects daylight savings use it as I can set it up with 2 alarms one for work and one for school freaked for a second that my time was off though before remembering that

I had to remember because I work today. Right now in fact, it's my "lunch" break. :tired:

Very cool. I am on the first disc of Season 3. You passed me and I don't think that I'll be able to catch up. Did BSG get better for you after getting through the whole religious bits?

BTW, I am PO'ed that I died in BSG Mafia. I was having such a great time with the role... Oh well.

Glad you feel that way. I have been re-watching the whole BSG series ever since Caprica started airing. I can't believe that I had to wait a whole week to watch the next episode of BSG, and then even longer between half seasons. It's so easy to get hooked on the DVD boxed sets! :cool:

Time has pretty much been at a standstill for me, for as long as I can remember. Perhaps that will change with age, but right now, I feel like I've been around a lot longer than 26 years. I used to remark about this when I was a kid, and they actually, in a fit of irony, always called me "Old-timer" in school. :laugh:

[Thawmus]

I think you just decided where I'm going for lunch :)

Always a good decision. The only thing I really ever have to decide is whether it's going to be Chinese, Japanese, or Mongolian.

Mongolian typically wins, because I like to put on a fake beard, ride my steer into the restaurant, and chop off the waiter's head before I sit down for my meal. The other restaurants frown upon that. Bastards.

I use FastStone (http://www.faststone.org/FSCaptureDetail.htm)

It's free for personal use. It'll output to a variety of forms automatically, and you can be extremely precise about what you screenshot. Since I have to keep from sending any sort of bank info when I send in screenshots, it's been a Godsend.

It all depends whether or not you're having fun. If you are, it always seem shorter than what it should be. I am sure that there is a relativistic term for it, somewhere.

WE don't have cable so DVD box sets are the way to go for us. Only shows we watch in prime time (usually late due to DVR) are Lost, Smallville, and Survivor. Everything else is DVD only. And yeah, it makes shows that much better. Plus, when a season only costs $17, it's cheaper than taking the wife to see a movie. In fact, I got the entire BSG series for what it would have cost me to get a babysitter and pay for dinner and a movie with the wife.

Sadly, nope, not yet. Like I said before, Rokk thinks he knows it, but not off the top of his head. On a related note, he gave me a heads up on something called the James Bulger case, which I could have been quite happy never learning about.

On a completely unrelated note, my Chrome just up and blew up in the past 15 minutes, and is no longer working. Firefox and Explorer are fine... but gorram, I like my Chrome!

My mother-in-law recently made the most delicious toffee dessert I've ever had... of course, seeing as it was the first real sweet thing I had had in two weeks since I started dieting, I may have been biased. I can try and track down the recipe if your interested.

[Truffle Shuffle]

Definitely fun, but I don't know where I could get that. Also, I was thinking more of a full meal.

Sounds yummy, but I'm not much into sweets. I should clarify that I'm already at work and likely going to order something. Just not sure what.

Full meal wise, one of my favorite go-to recipes that's a bit different is a Baked Stuffed Butternut Squash (http://www.wchstv.com/gmarecipes/butternutsqua####alianstuf.shtml)

Truff, I have no idea what restaurants you have around there. I'd suggest chinese, but I have no idea what you have around there. We had sushi out here one time, and it was sorta a hit with some (me), and a bomb for everyone else.

It's Center City Philly. I'm could probably get just about anything (except cotton candy, but now that I think about it, I think there's an ice cream shop that might serve it :laugh: ).

I thought about Chinese. Not sure it's different enough and I think one of the ladies here has an aversion to it. Mexican might be fun. We don't often get that.

San Fran crab.

You will not ##### about anything ever again for the rest of your LIFE if I have anything to say about it. :angry::angry::angry::angry:

Possibly German. What specifically are you in the mood for Eeyore?

[Truffle Shuffle]

Carlos O' Kelly's??

Mexican Irish? Or would that be Irish Mexican?

[EmperorNorton]

Possibly German. What specifically are you in the mood for Eeyore?

The traditional German fast food dish, Currywurst (slices of Bratwurst in a hot curry sauce), with a side of fries and mayonnaise.

[Thawmus]

Mexican Irish? Or would that be Irish Mexican?

So I take it you don't even have one. :tired: This is why I gave up on the suggestions. Grand Island and Philly are gonna have totally different franchises around.

Carlos O'Kelly's is a Mexican Applebee's. It's good stuff. They have take-out.

[Truffle Shuffle]

The traditional German fast food dish, Currywurst (slices of Bratwurst in a hot curry sauce), with a side of fries and mayonnaise.

Mmmm, sounds good. I don't think there are any German fast food places around here. I don't know that I've seen any anywhere. Someone needs to get on that. :)

On an unrelated note, do I just contact a college if I want to take a class? Just one class, atm. Not really sure how to go about this. Been out of school for years. Not even sure if I need to transfer stuff from my previous college. Just not sure how it would work.

[Truffle Shuffle]

Oh, another question: I slipped down the steps today (very annoyed by the circumstances, but I won't get into it) and did something to my shoulder. Should I put heat or cold on it? Initially it hurt for a few minutes, then it went away and about an hour later it started aching and the ache is getting worse as it goes on.

Just call an admissions office, and see if you can call a counselor. Counselors, by and large, are super nice, and will do everything they can to get you into the class you want to take. I'm personally not a big fan of signing up for stuff online, because some schools are pathetic about updating their online schedules.

[charlesx]

Mexican Irish? Or would that be Irish Mexican?

Technically, it's neither. I've been to one a couple of times. It's more like Irishized Tex Mex. The decor's interesting, though.

[Truffle Shuffle]

Well, looking at things, for what I want to take, it's a little confusing as to whether I have to meet certain requirements, or can I just take a class? Yeah, I'll just call.

[Truffle Shuffle]

How much later for heat? It happened at 6:30 this morning and I won't be able to do anything about it until about 10:30-11:00 tonight. Ibuprophen is helping a little.

[Truffle Shuffle]

Le Sandwich Rouge is my favorite. That was awesome. :laugh:

Also, any advice for rug burns on the knuckles? Took off a layer of skin. Got that on my fall too. I was scrambling and trying to grab on to anything for dear life. :laugh:

Edit: I think I must have looked kind of funny, books and magazines going everywhere (they were piled up on the steps and that's what I slipped on; it was dark), arms flailing and then nails digging into the rug. Wish I had a video, at least I could laugh at myself and get something positive out of it. :laugh:

[Truffle Shuffle]

Uhm, wrong and wrong.

Back to the back pain ... found this:

Cold Therapy with Ice
Cold therapy with ice is the best immediate treatment for acute injuries because it reduces swelling and pain. Ice is a vaso-constrictor (it causes the blood vessels to narrow) and it limits internal bleeding at the injury site. Apply ice (wrapped in a thin towel for comfort)to the affected area for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. Allow the skin temperature to return to normal before icing a second or third time. You can ice an acute injury several times a day for up to three days.

Cold therapy is also helpful in treating some overuse injuries or chronic pain in athletes. An athlete who has chronic knee pain that increases after running may want to ice the injured area after each run to reduce or prevent inflammation. It's not helpful to ice a chronic injury before exercise.

The best way to ice an injury is with a high quality ice pack that conforms to the body part being iced. Examples include ColdOne Cold Therapy Wraps and SnowPack Cold Therapy products. You can also get good results from a bag of frozen peas, an ice massage with water frozen in a paper cup (peel the cup down as the ice melts) or a bag of ice.

Read more about how to safely use ice on injuries.

Heat Therapy
Heat is generally used for chronic injuries or injuries that have no inflammation or swelling. Sore, stiff, nagging muscle or joint pain is ideal for the use of heat therapy. Athletes with chronic pain or injuries may use heat therapy before exercise to increase the elasticity of joint connective tissues and to stimulate blood flow. Heat can also help relax tight muscles or muscle spasms. Don't apply heat after exercise. After a workout, ice is the better choice on a chronic injury.

Because heat increases circulation and raises skin temperature, you should not apply heat to acute injuries or injuries that show signs of inflammation. Safely apply heat to an injury 15 to 20 minutes at a time and use enough layers between your skin and the heating source to prevent burns.

Moist heat is best, so you could try using a hot wet towel. You can buy special athletic hot packs or heating pads if you use heat often. Never leave heating pads on for more than 20 minutes at a time or while sleeping.

Because some injuries can be serious, you should see your doctor if your injury does not improve (or gets worse) within 48 hours.
**********************************

I'm concluding I should be icing. But ... it'll be cold. :(

[Wade Wilson]

I'll keep you warm :cheeky: yea when I bruised my hip bone Dr said to ice for 3 days then use heat if it gets worst might want to go see a doctor x-rays CAT scan PET scan all that

It is just confusing, if you ever watch Fringe it starts out she isn't that hot, she is kind of meh, then she is, then she isn't, then she is :cry: I think somethings it is her nose/eyes/mouth area of her face...her nose tends to seem like she has a real bad cold and I think either her eyes are too low or her forehead is too big...but it seems like it is only sometimes it is like that...and it confuses the hell out of me...maybe I just should stop thinking about it so much, though she has a pretty hot photo shoot in Esquire from last month...I thought I hadn't gotten it yet as I guess I was expecting them to have her on the cover, but it is Leo on the cover...now I am waiting for this month's issue to come in the mail...

[Truffle Shuffle]

Her looks are one of the reasons I couldn't continue to watch Fringe. I know, strange, but there is something about her that I can't stand. Like there's always a skunk in the room with her.

Because it is not necessary for me to have flash player in Google Chrome when I have it in IE even though I hate using IE.

Work Computer, won't even let me download Firefox : (

Well now, they're not treating their IT staff particularly well if they're not letting them break their own rules! :angry:

*breaks his rules all the time*

*is doing it right now.*

*and now*

Tell them there's training videos you need. That's honestly the only reason we have it.

[EmperorNorton]

You know, I might seriously consider this. You are one of the people that I haven't met that I would really love to meet. And I've been itching to get away for a day or two. I might have to make this happen. :grin:

Oh sure, go visit that guy...

[Thawmus]

Oh sure, go visit that guy...

Hey, nobody ever visits that guy.

[Truffle Shuffle]

Oh sure, go visit that guy...

Awwww, I'd visit you in a heartbeat as well ... might cost more. Just out of curiosity, are there interesting sights to see in your area?



*wonders if he'll realize a big draw would be the sightseeing. ;) *

Dude, don't tell me you live in Nebraska. I hate Nebraska.

[Thawmus]

I live in Nebraska.

Also, Mr. Porter is going to kick your ### if you say that again. ;)

Actually, my area is this year's European Capital of Culture.

That's still pretty much a no, though.

[DarqFeonix]

I'll take it. I drove cross-country when I came out here to Cali from PA, and the god-awful worst part of my drive was frakkin' Nebraska.

Boring landscape. Horrendous gasoline (I got 200 miles on a full tank of that corn-swill). Radio stations that made me fear the Rapture before I got out.

Just... horrid.

Come on, don't hold back, tell us how you really feel. :speechles

[The BoyBlunder]

After much delay, I think I've hammered out the outline for my next game, and am ready to start finalizing roles. I hope people are ready for pirates, robots, ninjas, zombies, in-jokes, call backs to previous games, and plenty of fun twists and turns.

It's Pirates, Robots, Ninjas, Zombies: Part 1!

Can you handle it?

[Truffle Shuffle]

I don't watch Fringe for Anna. Walter's continued musings/babblings and outright weirdness are more than enough. Plus, Jasika Nicole (Agent Astrid Farnsworth) is the hot one. Though Truffle or MSU may think differently.

I don't know. I can appreciate a pretty face and a nice female form. (No Wade.) She was actually one of the few characters I enjoyed on the show. I really thought John Noble would be enough to keep me watching, but he became, I don't know ... after a while it felt like acting. Not amusing ramblings.

[DarqFeonix]

I watch for Pacey.

[Truffle Shuffle]

No, your draw is the eateries. Remember?

Eeyore will be taking me sightseeing, since it's Europe and that's what you do in Europe.

Occasionally we eat over here, too.

I really wanted to watch for the interesting stories, as well as John Noble. Thought it would be X-Files-ish. But it just didn't hold up for me.

But...but they let you drive 80 MPH so that you can get out of it as quickly as possible!

See, we're nice people! :classic:


And what the hell is wrong with our gas?? Does the state line somehow poison our fuel supply or something? :angry:


It's all cool, though. Not a big fan of Nebraska myself, especially Grand Island, where I live. I'd like to move to Omaha or Lincoln. Hell, I'd love to move somewhere around the east coast. But right now, I'm pretty stuck. :ermm:

[Truffle Shuffle]

Oh, that's right. We should look into those chains that you were recommending. See about getting them over here in the States.

Not enticing me to make the visit, you know.

[Thawmus]

No, your draw is the eateries. Remember?

Day 1:

Breakfast - Cracker Barrel, in Lincoln

Lunch - Laslo's, Haymarket Plaza

Dinner - Fireworks, Haymarket Plaza

Day 2:

Breakfast - Chorizo, eggs, and cheese, with tortillas. I make that one. Easy peasy.

Lunch - Wave Pizza Company

Dinner - Texas T Bone

Day 3:

Breakfast - Tommy's

Lunch - Ed's Steakhouse

Dinner - El Toro



Seriously, I'll just stop there. I could go on forever, and I have no idea what you have and don't have in Philly.

[EmperorNorton]

Oh, that's right. We should look into those chains that you were recommending. See about getting them over here in the States.

Actually, we don't have that many chains.
The vast majority of restaurants and fast food joined are family owned enterprises.

Swear to God, I filled up when I entered the state, the quality was like 83 or something, made with corn, and I struggled to get to 200 miles on a full tank when previously I was getting 300. Maybe I just got a bad batch, but wow, I was happy to leave.

[Thawmus]

Not enticing me to make the visit, you know.

We have good damn beer, and I improved the state by 33% when I moved here, just by being in it. :angry:

[HavokAndChaos]

Did anyone watch all of Friday Night Lights? The transition for season 2 to 3 is kind of losing my interest, wondering if I should stick it out for a few more and see if it gets better.

[DarqFeonix]

For some reason this immediately made me picture Gerard Butler peeing in the gas tank after a few hours of drinking, getting better gas mileage on that than Nebraska petrol.

Never fill up with anything less than 89. They preach about how that Ethanol improves the environment, but I know and understand farming and the ethanol production process enough to know that it's a load of horse####. Ethanol decreases your MPG. Most gas pumps aren't allowed to have more than 10%, which is 87. Even then, you are going to be gassing up again later. You do not get your money's worth with Ethanol, you get worse gas mileage than normal, meaning you are consuming more gas than you were before, and, oh yeah, producing the #### consumes gas too.

My cousins, who own one of the largest pork farms in the world, outright refuse to give a second thought to ethanol production. Whenever asked, they put it simply: "We make enough money. We're here to try to feed people. That's our role in society."

Apologies to anyone here that knows a farmer that got in on this ridiculous hoax, as I know lots of them are struggling, and really had no choice at all. But Ethanol is not an answer. If you had 83, you got it from a Co-op station, which means they put a ####-ton of Ethanol in your tank. If this was recent, I'd put fuel cleaner in your tank, as well.


Next time you come through here, stop at Grand Island for fuel. I'll come out and fill it up myself out at the Travel Center. Sapp Bros. and Bosselman's handle all of that, and they're centered right in GI. The prices go up if you go east or west of GI. Scout's honor.*




*I was never a scout.

An ingredient they keep well hidden from the feds, no doubt.

:disappointed:

We have good gas. 83 is 83. As in, the #### you should never ever put in your tank. I know of like one station in Grand Island that has that low quality gas, and it is, of course, a co-op station. 79. You can fill up your tank for like 5 bucks, and then run out when you drive a block.

I'll take your word for it then. This was 10 years ago, so I likely didn't know better.

Still, that scene in Gamer was pretty funny.

My friends actually started watching it now, and they claim it gets better. I, of course, mentioned to them that I had played online Heroclix games with the dude that ended up in the wheelchair, which they do not believe. :laugh:

Yeah, sorry for the rant. Ethanol and gas quality discussion gets under my skin. Everyone around here treats it like it's a dream come true for these small towns, and I have to always keep my mouth shut, because they're vehement about hearing the truth. :disappointed:

[Thawmus]

Mostly that I knew people at all. :cheeky:
