wish the bastard that did the same to my truck a year or so ago had looked through the cds first. shit still pisses me off.also, I'm very serious in that I got botox today. cost $250 for the treatment, but that's just the application. the actual stuff was like $900, but the first application is free or some shit. it's weird.I'll explain more later, I just want brv to stew on it a little more.

My mouth was agape while reading this post, so you win.

Hopefully Im not letting the cat outta the bag or nothin, but I suspect I know the real reason behind Shakes "procedure"A few years back when I made it a point to investigate the goings on at the AVN expos, Shane and I overheard a cute little button of a gal....probably weighing in at ninety or so pound with a large percentage of that in the chest area... chatting it up with fellow performers in between appearances at their respective booths..."Hon...you aint got nuthin on me, although I agree thats pretty bad and all""What did he do to you?""Well, as you know these days we cant make a decent buck without doin anal....""Dont even get me started on that....""So yeah....Vince tells me that he has a great doc that can make the rides easier since Im so small in the balloon knot"(Shane and Beans give each other the what the hell look)"So thats how you ended up on that extended absence?""Yeah....I hate to bring it out but after hearing about all the other problems he caused...I figure others can learn from my misery""So what did he do?""Well, he claimed that a small injection of Botox down there would relax the muscles just enough to allow comfort but not enough to cause any other problems...""OH NO!""Yeah...."(Shane and Beans laugh hysterically without making a sound....I almost black out and Shane turns completely purple)(five minutes later we regain our senses enough to follow the rest of the conversation)".....so anyway....Im almost back to normal now and dont have to wear the granny diapers anymore""You poor, poor, thing!""Well thanks.... you have no idea how it is when you cant hold back a poot in public...especially when you know every time theres gonna be a turd coming right behind it""Whats that sound?""I dunno.... sounds like a couple mules braying or something""Well...lets hit the crowds again"(Shane and Beans continue to bray for weeks and weeks afterward)So yeah, start weening yourself off the fiber there Shakey...

Hahaha, shake does gay porn.Beans, flu, strat. Sierra has a new IPA. Ruthless rye. 6.6%. It's not bad.Drinking that and racer 5 IPA which is 7%, right now.J

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

I guess I had laid off the booze too much, because I totally bought a cheap bottle of pinot and watched inception. and now I'm super fucked. I'll just tell them I have awful chapped lips or something, I don't know.it's not even cold enough to have chapped lips, lol, this 'winter'

[The Ocho 970]

Wait, you do gay porn too?

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

guap, you will be happy to know that I am making a mortal enemy out of the investments guy. had an email exchange with him about them having no ETF options in our 401k, that everyone is paying 1%+/year in fees as a direct result of his complacency/incompetence. IN NICER TERMS, OF COURSE. my boss, when I asked him about it, was like, "we need to get you on the board that makes these decisions."I would like to be on many boards, so I can look down my nose at all these plebes.

[ShakeZuma 585]

they told me it would tighten. TIGHTEN damn it!but no, I guess I'll explain now: hyperhydrosis. aka sweating like a fucking pig. wait, do pigs even sweat? I've always wondered that. anyways, for a really long time, I've had a pretty big problem with under arm sweating, like way more than most people are used to. I'll get ready for work, and after the thirty minute drive to the office I've already got sweat rings going in the pits. and don't get me started on how bad it is when I was away from the fan at my desk. felt like I could have floated a canoe from my pits to my waist. anyways, when I went to the doctor recently I finally brought it up and he prescribed me to some prescription antiperspirant shit. so I tried that for like a week and it broke me out so bad I couldn't put my arms down. so he tells me the only other option short of actual surgery would be botox, since it basically paralyzes the sweat glands. so he refers me to a dermatologist and that's where I was yesterday. she said it lasts between six months and a year with zero sweating during this time, so I was like shit, lets give it a whirl. I know brv will still make fun of this reason because I guess REAL MEN JUST SWEAT AND SHIT ON STUFF but yeah, it's really one of the most uncomfortable feelings ever, so it's worth a shot in my opinion.

Beans, flu, strat. Sierra has a new IPA. Ruthless rye. 6.6%. It's not bad.

oh I saw that in the store this past weekend. might have to give it a shot.

my boss, when I asked him about it, was like, "we need to get you on the board that makes these decisions."

whoa, there you go! hey maybe they'll bump you up another dollar or two an hour if that happens!I'm not making fun of you but more our companies' attitudes towards salary. bitches be crazy.

[Theraflu 1,035]

I sweat more than normal. I haven't considered using up my "copay" on doctor's visits about it.

Hahaha, shake does gay porn.Beans, flu, strat. Sierra has a new IPA. Ruthless rye. 6.6%. It's not bad.Drinking that and racer 5 IPA which is 7%, right now.J

Tried it a month ago, didn't really love it. It's more the style of rye IPA's that I don't like.The Racer 5, on the other hand, I very much enjoy.

[SuitedAces21 2,722]

i called (e-mailed) in sick today. actually threw up and generally not feeling well. shake i got you dog. your reason for botox is legit.

[Napa Lite 3,278]

I had a dream that Shake used a groupon to get his Botox done on his face and we all just collectively decided to just give up on him. Glad it wasn't that and was for a mostly medical reason.

[iZuma 764]

fuck I didn't even think about groupon!

[speedz99 145]

Hey strategy, this just gave me a great idea. You should move to the loop in Chi-town and become some sort of trader. I think you would like that.

Heh.

that is sick. how did you find the opening?

I wish I had been around to reply that clearly he knew someone there, but apparently my real life has annoyingly gotten in the way of internet commentating yet again.

Napa, I didn't like your link. I used this one.

It's a good thing you're showing me this after I have finished classes and won't have much internet time anymore. It could have gotten ugly.Speaking of...as of a week or so from now I won't be able to spend much time here. I'll be spending 10-14 hour days in the hospital, plus doing at least some hours most weekends, and with pets and girlfriends to take care of at night, I don't see being able to do much more than say hello once in a while and have the occasional random flurry of posts, most of which will be lamenting the fact that when I'm finally able to hang out none of you are around.

Mhm.

hyperhydrosis.

Hehe.

[Napa Lite 3,278]

I'll miss you Speedz! Also in my dream last night, I was rooming with a girl from high school and she decided to get a grey cat for us named after some video game or movie character I can't rememeber now but I do rememeber my first thought being "oh, cool, can't wait to take pictures and show Speedz!". Sick thread was all up in my dream last night

[SuitedAces21 2,722]

jesus no. i'm not sure we can lose speedzy and keep it going.

[DJ Vu 176]

Hahaha, shake does gay porn.

Tried it a month ago, didn't really love it.

This is how I read these posts.

Speaking of...as of a week or so from now I won't be able to spend much time here.

Does this mean we get Wang back or something? I'm not sure how this works.

[speedz99 145]

I'll miss you Speedz!

I still know, Napa. I still know. Fucking shake.

Ok, this makes up for it.

jesus no. i'm not sure we can lose speedzy and keep it going.

I'm sure the thread will survive. It always does. Or at least it will until the site goes down, which could be any day now.

Does this mean we get Wang back or something? I'm not sure how this works.

Make sure to PM me if Wang comes back and tells an epic story, I wouldn't want to miss it. Please do not PM me if he pops in to tell us about some great story he has to tell us...I'VE BEEN BURNED BEFORE.

[Napa Lite 3,278]

He never settled with me, either. Is it safe to assume the alleged baby should be born by now? I don't exactly rememeber the timeline.

[DJ Vu 176]

He still didn't settle? That's...something.I think the baby was due shortly after he got out of prison, so I think so.

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

the thing about zimmer is, I would believe he could get a trading job without knowing someone. he seemed to care about school and was sick at poker with results he could put on a resume. I don't know.sorry to hear that speedz. I'll be talking to myself even more than I do already.DJ VU DID I NOT EMAIL YOU? WTF

[DJ Vu 176]

Notes:The basketball section was the hardest one for me to judge because I liked so many of those games. I think NBA Live 04 is the only sports game where I completed an entire real season, but Double Dribble was just so much fun when it came out. NBA Street is the only one I hadn't played.NHL 94 vs NHL 93 was sort of a coin flip. I went with 94 just because I played it more. Blades of Steel was a lot of fun.I haven't played any of the wrestling games. Fight Night is a great boxing game, but come on, Mike Tyson's Punchout is legendary.My two favorite racing games were Mario Kart and RC Pro Am, so that was a tough first round match-up. I loved Excitebike too, especially designing your own courses.Super Spike V'Ball was one of my favorite games to play with a friend. Two on two beach volleyball and you can be on the same team? Yes please. Tiger Woods and California Games was really close; if someone had it the other way I wouldn't argue.RBI Baseball is a #5 seed? How does this happen? I also think Super Bases Loaded is one of the all-time underrated sports games. If it had real players it would be an easy #1 seed.I don't think I've played any of the soccer games. I played one version of FIFA (Year) and it was kind of fun, so I went with that.I don't think I've actually played Madden 12, but I was just using that as a stand-in for the Madden franchise. I spent way too much time trying to decide between it and Tecmo Bowl. NBA Jam wins because I spent so many quarters, like all the quarters, playing it in the arcade. Plus the three in a row for on fire has penetrated all walks of life. ALL walks of life. "Throw some baking soda on him! Or is it baking powder? When a guy's on fire, what do you throw on him?!" Obviously it's not the best game if you like playing seasons and keeping stats and all that, but for pure entertainment when playing a game, it was my clear choice.

DJ VU DID I NOT EMAIL YOU? WTF

Oh hey, look at that. It went to my junk folder.

[DJ Vu 176]

I liked this one:

[speedz99 145]

I also really like that one.

Weird.

sorry to hear that speedz. I'll be talking to myself even more than I do already.

I know the feeling.

[Quacktastic 106]

That bracket is awesome.Baseball Stars was my favorite baseball game growing up, RBI baseball a close 2nd.
