  1. Scorpio’s on fire today.
  2. Hahaha, exactly the same in my house. We should probably make sure our wife’s are never chatting alone together, they might compare notes and realize we’re both spending a lot on bourbon.
  3. I'm not saying they were fake, but they were on shitty shitty cars that I can't imagine were on a used car lot somewhere.
  4. There might be something to this idea. It kind of makes sense. Btw - I saw 10 on my way home yesterday, but 2 were real (brand new cars).
  5. The Road Rage thread reminded me I was curious about the paper plate epidemic going on. So, I ask: what the fuck is going on with all the fake paper plates in Houston/Texas? I was driving home last week and saw a shitty pick up stalled in the middle of the road; paper plates. A tow truck was there to haul her POS away and her husband/boyfriend/FB was there to pick her up in a barely functioning vehicle. Low and behold he had paper plates too. I work at the Beltway and Clay and I probably see at least five vehicles with paper plates on my way home to the Heights every day. Is it really that much cheaper to keep printing fake paper plates than to register your car? I just don't get it.
  6. Negroni
  7. To each their own, but that’s a lot of ice for my tastes.
  8. Double post
  9. In reference to stros' post. 70 proof?
  10. I've got a Old Fitz 11 waiting for me at Specs. Reviews aren't very good for the price. Oh well, I'm going to buy it anyway. At least the bottle looks cool.
  11. Can't you just manually copy and paste the header/footer on the two new sheets under the page set-up menu?
  12. I forgot to mention, do not rely on the EGL ratings as those are dogshit (they over-rate your diamond so you think you're getting something you're not). Stick with GIA if you can (there is another one, but I can't remember it off the top of my head).
  13. How about a shampoo and conditioner all in one? That's pretty powerful. You can't argue with results.
  14. Fuck the haters. It's not that hard to buy diamonds. Each of the 4 C's will affect the cost. Cut - how well it reflects light (good, very good, ideal, etc.) Clarity - how many imperfections (inclusions) are in the stone (Slight inclusion 1 & 2 (SI1; SI2) very slight 1 & 2 (VS1; VS2) very very slight... up to flawless Color - actually how much color the diamond has (starts with D, E, and F as colorless and goes up the alphabet from there) Carat - Size of the stone Play around on bluenile.com to get an idea of what a loose stone goes for and it will help give you an idea of your universe. I have a guy in Houston (PM me if you want his name), but bought a stone from Zadok and found they didn't make much on the stone at all (2 to 3%). They made their money on the setting. When you're buying make the jeweler show you a bunch of diamonds in different cuts, clarity, colors (you may find you are happy with a lower standard on one of the Cs and be able to up another). Make sure you take them outside to look at in the sunlight (if they won't do that tell them to fuck off an go somewhere else). The setting is another animal all together. Figure out what she prefers (solitaire; Tiffany; halo; cathedral; etc.) and what metal you'll be working with. That's all I've got off the top of my head, but good luck to you.
  15. That was impressive.
  16. Hidely-fucking-ho neighborino.
  17. I am re-watching episode one right now. Wow, I forgot how much better Peter is than Lori. Also, Big Head wasn’t as big of an idiot. They really need an Erlich character on this show. Stupid TJ Miller.
  18. I assume this is sarcasm.
  19. Any recommendations on selling our current car (or getting the best price)? I already went to Carmax and when I told the Momentum dealer that he said "yeah, they're going to do better than we are." Any other places we should check to make sure we get the best trade-in price?
  20. I like the accessibility prospects of this dress.
  21. It's pretty cool, I guess.
  22. Well don't I feel like the asshole now?
  23. I have to admit, I'm a little curious. I assume it is for some sort of humanitarian effort, but would any of us be surprised if it were some crazy person looking to corner the Haitian grocery bag market?
  24. I didn't read any further for fear of aids. Link requires login.
