I recently heard someone say they were upset because a relative of theirs was marrying a non-Jew. I found the statement utterly fucking pathetic. There's no worse measure of a man than the heritage he happened to be born into and no lesser a person than one who values idiot traditions above peoples' feelings for one another.
S(pardon the soapbox - this issue really irks me)D

To be fair, a lot of the reason for that feeling among some Jews (particularly secular ones, in my experience) is just trying to make up some numbers to fend off extinction after so many of us were slaughtered in the Holocaust. So it's not the typical stupid purely faith-related bigotry.

Of course, I generally agree. Way better off without some nutbag who takes religiosity (and identical religiosity, at that) as a measure of virtue.

That's fascinating, but I am specifically looking for whey protein, because a recent German study showed promise that whey protein boosts antioxidant production in people with autoimmune disorders. The test subjects were AIDS patients. I don't have AIDS, but I have an autoimmune disorder called Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic purpura. I'm in the very early stages and have been for years and could stay that way my whole life, but I'm always looking for ways to get better. Of course, there's no way you could have known any of this, and I agree, food is often the best source.

I understand. My rant was not necessarily directed at you. More of a rant to the masses, which you have subsequently distinguished yourself due to your disorder. Have you tried whey protein shakes?

Edited to add that I did throw in an Allman Bros reference followed by a Scorpions reference to lighten the weight of my rant. Some juxtaposition.

Has anyone seen this? I have it Tivoed, but i haven't watched yet for fear of gore. Is the gore level managable? I'm intrigued, but go in with a little trepidition.

The gore was managable, though there was a ... mishap in the OR towards the end which was gross (and funny, in a gross sort of way). A step above network gore, not on the Sopranos level.

All in all it seemed a pretty decent pilot. Very glossy while taking the piss out of glossiness.

I find him amusing. I can't say that I always agree with him, but his books were enlightening and some of his guests are funny (but I don't think they mean to be).

Bill replays at 11pm eastern. When the game is over I like to have something on the TV while I finish my nightly beers and FoxNews Channel hooked me during the shock and awe phase of that little squirmish in Iraq. Just cuz I live in its shadow doesn't mean that I have to partake of the bullshit that streams from CNN.


Yellow shit? What are you feeding your pussies?

I saw two episodes last night (thank you Tivo!) and SO and I are hooked. I expected to hate Carson (the over the top one) but he had some of the best lines! Also the one who only seems to give shavign tips is my unattainable (only bc he is gay of course) crush (tho SO wonders whether his "shave AFTER the shower" mantra is correct).

That meta annoying jerk from the American What Not to Wear should tune into this show to see how it is done. These dudes rock! Much like the cool, trendy gay boys I am used to here in Dallas.

The wife of the overweight LI dad was very cute and she didn't seem to get dissed at all by the boys (vs. blond skin-tight clothes GF in the other one).

So you are saying that you sometimes agree with him? Very enlightening. Do you agree that he should be allowed to go to a gay bathhouse?

If you shave after a shower, your hair should be softer and easier to cut.
Being wet and soft reduces the chance that you'll suffer from razor bumps or ingrown hairs.

I don't know why I know this.

Edited to say -- Fuck, I was trying for the first post on my page 1000.

ALL of this shit is a scam. Protein bars, Cliff bars, Powerbars, GU (for distance athletes). All bullshit. You can get what these things give you NATURALLY . . . . I used to eat Cliff bars and take GU for marathon training. And then I woke up, realized it tastes like shit, and did some research to see what the elite athletes do. Well they sure as shit don't ingest GU at mile 19.

I eat zone bars and drink shakes because they are balanced nutrition and I cannot always eat real food when I am on a business trip (or crushed up against an important deadline). I use them as meal replacement, not as supplement.

Elite athletes may not ingest GU at mile 19, but cyclists, elite or recreational, sure as hell ingest clif shots at miles 50, 75, etc. Watch any stage of the tour and you will see them sucking down clif shots and eating powerbars. You cannot ride on consecutive days if you don't keep your nutrition level high.

Now Paigow has a reason to breed. She can give her kids the Survivor experience.

A pair of teachers -- who are rabid Survivor fans -- have started a camp in Tennessee for kids based on the reality show experience, and yes, they give you a chance to eat bugs.

double-fuck. I don't want the damn first post on page 1000 anyway. :sobbing:

Although the premiere of NBC's The Restaurant only came in third place Sunday night with 7.5 million viewers, "business in the restaurant has been through the roof," kitchen manager John Charlesworth tells FOX News. There were also "200 messages seeking reservations on the restaurant's answering machine."


Anyone watch this last week?

And now I will collect my sonnet from EO. Thank you.
