  1. McDonald's: Double quarter-pounder with cheese, no onions, with a large fry (including a copious amount of ketchup) and a Coke. Disgustingly unhealthy, but incredibly delicious. I eat fast food maybe once a month now, tops, and it's usually just a snack wrap or two. There used to be a McDonald's in my old office building, and I was seriously addicted. Bad news. Sausage egg and cheese (dipped in a mound of ketchup before each bite), a hash brown, and a large, sugar-filled coffee for breakfast. I would then often indulge in my above-stated favorite for lunch. Needless to say, all of my clothes appeared to shrink rapidly. Fortunately, I've since recovered from my addiction.
  2. Rogen was funny at first, but now his act is getting old, in my opinion. His humor is almost always in some way related to smoking pot, which is only good for cheap laughs. It's not quality humor. I haven't seen Funny People, but the previews looked good. Pineapple Express disappointed me, probably at least in part because I had heard such rave reviews beforehand.
  3. I think it's pointless to match all of your clubs unless it bothers you so much that it would affect your game. If this is true, maybe see a therapist? ;-) The only clubs that should match are your irons - 2 through 9, maybe pitching wedge. I have a Cleveland Comp driver, 8.5 degrees, Graffaloy Blue Tour-X shaft, 15 degree Cleveland Launcher 3-wood with some kind of stiff steel shaft, not sure, Tommy Armour 845 titanium 1-iron S300 shaft, 3-9 are Cleveland TA-3 gunmetal irons with X-100 shafts, 48, 56, and 60 degree wedges, all Cleveland CG 10, and a two-ball putter. I've had the same set for years and see no reason to change it. The only reason I have so much Cleveland stuff (aside from the fact that they make good clubs) is that I got a big discount through my former golf coach who was sponsered by them. Oh, and of course I use the Pro V1. IMO, no better ball has ever been made. However, I wish the golf technology stopped at the Titleist 975D and the Tour Prestige. Nothing was sweeter than being able to work that driver, and chipping and putting a wound ball around the greens. Of course if you used that technology today, you'd be so far behind the curve that you'd get beat like a drum by any golfer with the same handicap and more modern equipment. The Maxfli Revolution was a pretty sweet wound ball too. Tour Balatas? Forget about it. A dream around the greens, but you were sacrificing too much distance and forgiveness off the tee unless you were a real stick.
  4. The robber was a fool who made 2 mistakes, became a robber, and attempted armed robbery with a toy. Notice the " "
  5. Guys, I can't believe what I'm reading in this thread. The robber was the victim, don't you see? He had a TOY gun! He grew up in such a bad environment and with such bad odds of success that the only way he could survive was to steal. Poor thing. We need to help these people! ;-)
  6. Welcome to communism. However, I find it hard to believe that someone would give a 76% when 100% of the questions were correct.
  7. Simply put, a mentally retarded person with physical disabilities will not be as good at fishing as a normal-minded, intelligent, athletic person, all else being equal (practice time, equipment, opportunity, etc.). Those are the two extremes and there is a long sliding scale. Seems self-evident.
  8. @ LCpointaKillah - when it armost extinct, taste is fah mo derishus ;-)
  9. Citrus Cooler was the best. It was also Michael Jordan's favorite flavor. Almond M&Ms were really good. I didn't love Crystal Pepsi, but I thought it was cool that it tasted like it did...but was clear. If Cheese Doodles (puffed) are ever discontinued, I wouldn't see the point in living.
  10. I will muddy thanks. And thanks for the info fellas :-)
  11. I don't know there's a certain allure about Colorado. Beautiful mountains, scenery, lots of outdoors stuff to do. How's the tax situation there? The bass fishing couldn't be much worse than CT. Plus I could get back into skiing. Love skiing. I'm just looking for a place to start fresh. Is Denver a good place?
  12. Come on guys, I'm being super cereal! How do I unsubscribe?
  13. Hey guys, I just want to hear your thoughts about this, especially anyone who lives or has lived in CO. I've been in CT since 1998, and frankly, I'm getting (have gotten) sick of this state. The reason my family moved to CT is the public school system and my grandfather. I'm out of high school and my grandfather has passed, so I see no reason to stay. I'm considering a change...to Colorado, maybe Denver? What do you guys think about Colorado? Lots of outdoors stuff to do, beautiful place, nice city, lots of people my age (I'm 25). Pros/cons? How about cities other than Denver?
  14. fourbizz - great pictures man. That is some seriously beautiful country out there, and I don't think you could have done it all any better.
  15. What's going on? You tell me, Captain Obvious ;D
  16. Reminds me of the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode where Larry gets a specific kind of hair wrapped around his uvula ;D
  17. Even though I believe golf is the greatest game devised by man, fishing still takes the cake. Once I graduated from school, my competitive golf "career" effectively ended since it's almost impossible to play enough golf tournaments with a full-time job. I would play a couple times a week, then once a week, then less, and I had no desire to practice because there was no goal to reach, so I basically stopped. I play a couple scrambles and a two-man best ball tournament a year, with maybe a couple other rounds thrown in. I think I'd always rather be fishing than golfing anyway. That's a reason why I don't want to fish competitively. I worry that if I ever started then stopped competitive fishing, that I wouldn't enjoy it as much afterward, and that would be unacceptable. Although it feels great to kill a drive down the fairway, hit a knock-down wedge past the hole that spins back to a few feet, and make the putt, I don't think there's anything better in this world than tricking, setting the hook into, battling, and landing a big, strong fish. Fishing is awesome 8-)
  18. ;D I would use some kind of harness, like those musky fishermen who supposedly used kittens as bait.
  19. 5 bobbers from me, even though I think that girl is just gorgeous.
  20. I found it interesting that they only live about a year and a half. So the go from an inch and a half to 100 lbs in that time. Pretty incredible. We need to inject whatever growth hormones they have into some bass :-)
  21. This is an interesting read, and the comments are pretty funny too. I copied one of the comments below the link: http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D99FNF0O0&show_article=1 I dive that area. Humbolts are nothing to mess with. There's a claw on each and everyone of their thousands of suction cups. They weigh up to 100 lbs. and are many times more powerful than a man. In mexico, you wear motocross armor over your wetsuit, tie yourself to a line 30 feet or so down so they can't grab you and drag you to the depths and drown you. These people are crazy to dive openly with these veracious killers. A humbolt is about an inch at birth and lives only about a year and a half. They gain that 100lbs of weight and 5 feet of size in less than a year. They're the perfect hunter. Their beak rivals the largest parrot and can take a golf ball sized chunk out of you in one bite. And yes, they are fabulous food. They're the thick calamari steaks at the fine eareries. Great to eat, not to dive with.
  22. M Starr - that's just one example on an endless list of examples showing why lawyers are ruining (have ruined?) the country. No offense to any lawyers on here, unless you happen to be one of the majority who is at fault.
  23. So you make all the same mistakes that your parents made? : And if that had happened, do you think that ANYONE would even know about it (except for the worker and the girl)? How many times does someone trip and fall and just continue on? I'd say that the second question is far and away the average. You're right - I only make some of the same mistakes. I now officially change my stance to: in the unlikely event of a lawsuit, the city should replace the pair of shoes, give her a couple bucks for a bar of soap, and recommend that she not procreate ;-) As for your second comment, I'm not just talking about tripping and falling. I'm saying in this situation, I think the first thing that would occur to the average Joe, after recovering from the shock, would be a lawsuit. Of course I think most lawyers would recommend against such a lawsuit, so few if any would go forward, but a lawsuit would probably occur to most people. That would not have been the case 30 years ago, in my opinion.
  24. Just found this on Drudge. Cool story, but the comments below are ridiculous. Are the people making comments illiterate? It says in the article the fish was released, but I guess that's not good enough - it was caused 20 mins of distress. Anyway, enjoy: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1199848/Now-huge-fish-Schoolgirl-angler-nets-record-catch-twice-size-thats-9ft-long-weighs-14stone.html?ITO=1490
  25. I bet the flash messed up the cougar's chances of taking down the buck :-) Or maybe it helped him? Either way - cool picture.
