There are a lot of inside jokes on this board. Also a lot of double entendres and hidden meanings, and you should assume everyone is being sarcastic unless it is clear that they are not. Whatever you do, don't throw around the word "ironic" here. That can get you in trouble. When in doubt, just talk about sex.

Looks like you're in the Northwest. I don't get there much, but if you want to pm me, we can have a virtual cup of coffee and talk. I'd be happy to tell you what I know about the place, being fairly new here myself (I just started posting over the summer, but was a lurker for a long time before that).

Welcome and God Bless!

This looks like a good introductory post for a "Guide to the FB for Newbies/De-Lurkers" thread.

You mean before she really discovered cocaine?

Ah, but a girl in trouble is a temporary thing.

From an Amazon review: "Debora Iyall has GOT to be the sexiest obese woman in music history!!"

She actually looks pretty good, if you remeber what she looked like in the video.


she is the black haired one, not the guitar player.

I tried to watch last night. I really did. But after about 30 seconds of Charlie Sheen and Duckie, I couldn't take it anymore. It was truly painful. I've seen the list of winners this morning. Ho Hum. Anyone sit through the whole thing? Anything humorous or noteworthy?

Hope this isn't too outable.

I almost passed out during the episode where they wonder if it's possible to clean/sell a truly smelly car, and seal it filled with a bunch of deceased pigs for a month...

Warning to the squeamish, this show is not for you. Or me.

I haven't seen that one. In fact, I haven't seen any episodes that would bother squeamish folk. I recall an episode where they debunked Coke's urban legends (dissolving properties) and one (last night) where they pressurized an airplane cabin to see if shooting a hole (from the inside) would cause a huge rupture in the plane like is often seen in the movies.

I think I saw a Pop Rocks episode--it was gratifying to see that, in fact, their heads did not explode when mixing Pop Rocks with soda.

You put your WEED in it.

Aren't you afraid it kills your motivation, or leads to bicycling or something?

Having experienced both I think its safe to say that these reserachers are probably the same people who linked pot to dangerous driving. clearly have never smoked in their lives.

Couldn't agree more. As the article states, many scientists don't believe the "runner's high" actually exists. While I definitely feel energized and (slighty) euphoric when I reach a certain mileage, it's more of a catharsis than a high. Or maybe at a certain mileage all of the booze is completely gone via sweat and I just feel un-hungover.

God is not a DJ. Life is not a dance floor.


And you need to hire a new stylist.

How depressing are these places? And not just b/c I got housed at the craps table. 75% of the people there should not be gambling. Apparently it's really bad on Friday evenings when people cash their paychecks at the casino. There were folks in sweatpants for god's sake.

Well, no wonder you're cranky. I can't imaging getting a decent night's sleep while housed at a craps table.

Generally concur that casinos outside of Nevada are just sort of pathetic for the most part. The lack of free drinks at the Indian casinos is especially distressing. Contrary to what our high school administrators told us, you really do need booze to have fun in certain circumstances.
