What kind of car is it? On some cars the tranny will get stuck in 'limp mode', which I find out more about if that's the case. Was the car throwing any codes (any warning lights)? Was it making any odd noises when the things started happening? What's the age/mileage?

Isn't cricket that pansy-ass sport that rich people play? Or am I thinking of something else... it involves hitting balls with mallets through hoops stuck in the ground IIRC.

Thanks. All I did was find a decent picture of a wind farm (this one is a concept art of a proprosed wind farm out in California), then added a bevel and the text on the right. It looks a lot better when it was big, but unfortunately GA limit is 90x90.

The little bastages couldn't hide from me forever! Ha ha! After searching for a smidge over two years I finally found them! The school held a 2nd annual club fair this afternoon and I found it over by the "stuff an Osprey" (make your own stuffed animal, Osprey is the school mascot) table. I finally know where and when they meet! The guy who was talking to me about the club was kinda cute too. Don't know what the f*ck I'm talking about? RSC Pride Alliance. I also got a shirt that says - "gay? fine by me." I also found out that the school has a "Safe Zone" program where you can talk to someone if you're having trouble with your sexual identity. The school got bonus points from me for that

There we go No, it's not. I wish, but we can't all be winners

Ok that's weird... I just changed my avatar and all that happened was the old avatar was resized to that of the new one... why?

lol. I mentioned the windmills because one of my passions is energy. As a result, one of my goals is to be involved in a wind-energy program at a major energy company (Shell, Conoco, BP, etc.). Hence my major in engineering. My other energy interest/goal is to refine the hydrogen fuel cell in such a way that fossil fuels play no part in the entire process. They aren't used to make the fuel or cell, and the only product is water from a tailpipe. But such technology is still far beyond our grasp... And I'm rambling. I still want to change it though... so we'll see what google images can show me.

That's part of the problem. When I first put it up, it's because it was hot. The only meaning it really has was that I was expressing a side of me no one in real life is allowed to see (the fact that I have any interest men beyond simple friendship). Nowadays, I feel like a slut every time I post. Last time I checked, virgins can't be sluts! lol The other reason is that I almost feel like it's degrading to GA... so unless everyone says otherwise, I'll look for something else. Maybe if I could find a decent picture of modern day windmills...

I'm sick of my avatar, what should I replace it with? My facebook picture is currently a picture of lightning in the night sky. My avatar on my other forums is the Virginia Tech insignia, but I'm thinking of changing that now to the Pontiac arrowhead, which isn't appropriate here. Any ideas?

Kevin you're a stick, you'll have no trouble doubling your wardrobe. It sounds to me like I would suddenly find that my wardrobe is collapsing in on itself if my smaller boyfriend decided he liked my clothes lol. I'm not into playing the Hulk, thank you very much!

Can I borrow you?

"Doubling your wardrobe." My pant size is 36" (well, 35... but I can't find 35 anywhere), what am I supposed to do if my boyfriend is a size 30? Or if all of his pants are jeans?

Apparantly YouTube thinks I only need to see the first 19 seconds... bastages.

I just took note of various aspects of his wardrobe. Actually, I would prefer it if he wasn't wearing those things, but what can you do? lol I can't stand tight clothing. Hence why all of my shirts/sweaters/jackets are large or extra large, and my cargo pants are relaxed straight. I like having room for my body and then some, it's something I like to call "comfort." Get with the times man, I've known that since I was eight years old! In fact, I think one of my friends just stumbled onto that fact by accident Doubly so!

Yes sir I got some work done haha. You got it all wrong. If it walks like a duck and talks like duck... then we gotta shoot that simbitch goose and suck 'er down! (Squidbillies)

I love Sci-Fi because, like fantasy, it's nice to leave reality for a while. This is one of the reasons why CPL's Falcon Banner series is so appealing to me... not to mention the fact I love almost anything to do with the future and space travel. BSK I agree, time travel is always entertaining! Particularly into the far future or past.

Negatory! I still would need something more concrete (read my above post concerning the tango). I'm pretty sure I could walk into a gay bar and still need somebody to shout it out lol. I thought of this thread today as I watched a guy in my Physics III class doing various things in class, and then later in lab. I'm still not 100% sure why, but I got the feeling that he was not straight. That doesn't mean I thought was gay (I did, but that's besides the point) I just for whatever reason got the inkling that men caught his eye from time to time. Anyway, I noticed that I took note of a few things... first was what he was wearing -- shirt, pants, shoes, accessories, the whole nine yards. I also paid attention to how he walked, sat, stood, talked, and conversed. His manner of walking/sitting/standing gave just a hint of femme, particularly in how his hips swayed noticeably more than the average male (not enough to point out) and he kept his feet together when sitting or leaning against a table. He stood much in the same way that I do, leaning to one side, resting most of my weight on one foot, and consequently shooting the hip out a little. Again, not really much more than the other men in the class, but enough for me to notice. Then there were the signs that said otherwise. His voice has no signs of a lisp (no, the lisp is not a true sign, since it can be a vocal deformity, but I still look for it) and simply did not sound "gay". In fact, it sounded a little more manly than a lot of the men in the class. His shirt, while tighter than normal , was not unlike something the average male would wear. His jeans weren't tight at all... I've noticed that most of the gay men here at school wear tight jeans, why is that? His shoes were simple sneakers, like mine. The real kicker that tells me that he is not straight is that he seems to be BFF (so to speak) with two of the girls in the class. No straight male, I don't care who, is BFF with a woman. NONE!* So that leaves a chance of 2/3 that he's not straight (could be gay, could be bi). Going strictly on the basis of his posture and relationship with women. That said, bias is a universal constant, like the speed of light, the Earths gravitational pull, etc. It's never going to change, and studies such as this reinforce that fact. Even in the group it affects, bias is there, as I sorta proved to myself today. *BFF is to be defined as not just being really good friends, as I am with a number of women, but also a friend they'll call to hang out, study, SLEEP OVER, SHOP, etc. Not even I do that. When I hang out with women, we normally watch a movie, go out to dinner (I pay if it's just the two of us), or shoot the shit. One keeps trying to get me to watch some stupid TV show on MTV with her. Newport Harbor I think? IDK, I just want to punch all of the people in it in the face...

Nick you're forgetting a few very important things concerning smoking in the working environment. Getting another job depends on a lot of factors. Working ability, skills, area, insurance. Some people are on some kind of disability, and so their working options tends to be very limited. Some people's skill are limited to workplaces where smoking is prominent (Casino, bar, restaurant, night club, etc.). Some areas have a very low availability of jobs compared to others. It took my sisters boyfriend almost a full year to get a job after he got his degree. He lived with us in that time and could not find a job in our area, so he moved back to his parents house in Pittsburgh and later found a job there. Another major reason for working for some place is health insurance. A lot of people in the US can't afford their own health insurance, so they must get it through their employer. It's not unusual for employers to use that as a means to keep the employee working for them and in the conditions the employer chooses. It doesn't matter if the job deals with guns, knives, asbestos, explosives, rickity catwalks, or smoke. I personally get my health insurance through my dads employer as his dependent. After the age of 24 I have to get my own. So, if you can't get your own health insurance, then you are stuck with the job you have since a new job ordinarily will not offer health insurance unless you have been employed by them for a certain amount of time. My job did not offer anything until a year after I had been employed. Conner: I almost never have other people in the car... and 65 really means 80! And blogs are overrated

I have no tolerance for smoking of any kind. I don't care if it is cigarettes, cigars, pipes, pot, whatever. If you smoke it, my respect for you diminishes. This is for two big reasons. The first is that you are slowly killing yourself. The human lung was designed intake oxygen from the air you breathe, put it into your bloodstream to give strength to your muscles and other organs, and then take the end result (carbon dioxide) and expel it as you breathe out. The lung was in no way shape or form designed to handle chemical composition of cigarette, cigar, pipe, etc. smoke. It is for this reason then I have never smoked, and never will smoke. The second reason is that you are slowly killing those around you. I mentioned that you expel carbon dioxide when you breathe out. We as humans cannot breathe in carbon dioxide, hence why our body expels it on the out-breath. When you smoke, you are also expelling some of the gasses in the smoke that did not reach the pleasure center of the brain. The people around you then have the pleasure of not only your carbon dioxide, but also the products of your damned smoking. This in turn leads to second-hand smoke (breathing in a smokers expulsion of nasty-ass air) which is another major killer of homo sapiens. It is for this reason that I also checked off not ever wanting to be in the same room as a smoker. It is for this reason that I applaud every single legislative body that creates laws forbidding smoking of any kind inside buildings (restaurants, bars, offices, stores, etc.). The next step of course is banning smoking within a certain distance of people (sending all smokers to Montana) and then the total banning of smoking altogether. Not to mention the fact that smoking a cigarette is just as bad as automotive exhaust fumes on the environment. Don't even get me started on that. If I have offended anyone by my remarks on smoking, GOOD! I'm sure I have more to say, but I have class in seven minutes, so... kthxbai

Well hey, yours is a lot better than mine! They have to be nekkid and doing the horizontal tango for me to even start thinking. The only difference that I could see in that video between the two men was that the gay one kept his legs together and the straight one kept them apart. That is no indication of sexuality, just masculinity and/or upbringing. I say that because there are a lot of straight men who walk the way that gay man did. The fact that so few people were used in the study makes me immediately reject any and all results, but they did say that the focus of the study was on the 150 observers and how they determined sexuality, and not the four participants.

Color is the correct spelling

Same as I am now, and only marginally larger that I was at 16... and I was in no way a late bloomer

I personally find his appearance atrocious (almost as disgusting as Enrique Iglasias) and his musak disgusting. My index finger finds Octane, Alt Nation, or Buzzsaw without fail when Hits 1 plays his horrid work.

As has already been pointed out, this should prove to be a very colorful thread.

If BS is gonna wear something like that and try to be sexy, she could at least drop a few pounds. I'm not trying to be mean, I just don't want to see saddle bags and cottage cheese thighs prancing about on stage. I actually felt bad for the cute male dancers that had to feel her up.
