    Leather couches, 25% off...which one would you get?

    Couch #1 (~$500 after discount) OR Couch #2 (~$750 after discount) The main differences are color (obviously, #1 is black and #2 is navy) and that #2 is 10" longer (keep in mind I'm 6'5").

    Movie night...which should I watch first?

    Good Night and Good Luck and Jarhead came from Netflix today...which should I watch first? Edit: It was a tie when I went to start one so I ended up watching Jarhead first...I figured the neighbors would appreciate me getting the loud stuff out of the way earlier. I thought it was pretty...

    Should I go to my 10 O'Clock class tomorrow?

    I generally have class at 9, 10, and 1 on Wednesdays. Tomorrow my 9 o'clock is cancelled and my 10 o'clock class is ridiculously boring and I generally read the paper while taking a small amount of notes. The thing is, I've been a stickler about always attending class unless I have a...

    One-week road trip...can it be done?

    A couple of my buddies and I are considering hitting the road for our last Spring Break, from Sunday, March 12th to Sunday, March 19th. We don't have any real solid plans on what to do on the trip, but the main idea is to see major cities along the way from ND to the east coast and back. Here's...

    My x-mas vacation is going to be an entertainment overload.

    I've been on Netflix for the past few months and today I got an email saying I could renew my Blockbuster Online membership for $1, so I'm gonna take that one month and then cancel it again. That's 6 movies a week right there. In addition to that I'll get 2 free movie rental coupons for BB, and...

    Anyone remember those classic Holiday Inn commercials?

    With the 37 year old slacker who constantly demands ridiculous accommodations from his family and they reply with "What do you think this is, a Holiday Inn?" and the grandmother laughs hysterically? Apparently the guy that played the slacker ("Mark Harvey") is named Ross Brockley. I really...

    I got Tased last night.

    I volunteered to take an exposure during training. I opted for a two-second jolt and it was the longest two seconds of my life. :Q The feeling is almost indescribable...it was painful, but it was also warm and I could feel it pulsing through my body, even though the only thing I could do was...

    Well, I have to have an MRI next Friday...

    My symptoms seem to be pointing to a pinched Sciatic Nerve likely caused by a herniated disc in my lumbar or sacral vertebrae. I've been having intermittent pain and stiffness in my left lumbar/buttock/thigh area, accompanied by radiating stabbing pains throughout my entire left leg down to...

    YACT: Doing a little early car shopping...opinions?

    I'm plan on buying a new car next year, probably late summer/fall, and I've been doing a little research. I think I've narrowed it down to 3 cars that I like (one that I really prefer), but I'd like to get some outside opinions. What I'm looking for is something... Under $30,000 ~200+...

    Who are these people that scrawl/write stuff in public bathrooms?

    While using a grocery store restroom this evening I glanced over and wondered, who the hell writes this stuff? I've never, ever had the urge start writing stuff or CARVING something into a wall while dropping a deuce. :confused:

    A joke one of my Lieutenants told yesterday...

    A woman desperately looking for work goes to the Tickle Me Elmo Factory. The Personnel Manager goes over her resume and explains to her that he regrets that he has no jobs worthy of her skills. The woman answers that she really needs work and will take almost anything. The Personnel Manager...

    Is it just me or does Family Guy seem like it's trying too hard?

    Now I've been a fan since the start, and by start I don't mean when everyone jumped on the DVD/Adult Swim bandwagon, but it just seems like they're doing what they've already done. It's not original like it once was, it's just more of the same. Tonight's episode was the best example...sure...

    Poll: 18.1" LCD for PC or subwoofer for HT?

    As noted in my signature I'm trying to sell my Gamecube package. [/CHEAP PLUG!] The original plan was to use the money toward a center channel speaker & a subwoofer (Sony SA-WM250 - $100) for my HT system (making it 5.1). Now I have the option of getting a 18.1" Dell UltraSharp 1800FP LCD...

    Stolen JOKE: A guy and his parrot.

    A guy named David received a parrot for his birthday. The parrot was fully grown, with a bad attitude and worse vocabulary. Every other word was an expletive. Those that werent expletives were, to say the least, rude. David tried hard to change the bird's attitude and was constantly saying...

    Anybody a fan of "The Champ"?

    If any of you were planning on attending a Motley Crue concert in the near future...

    ...I'd recommend against it, unless you like 40-something skanks dry humping you while winking & trying to kiss you...and that's if you're A UNIFORMED POLICE OFFICER. I can't imagine how much molestation I'd have if I was there off-duty. :Q On second thought, some of you might like that...

    Was there ever a fix for that user rating bug?

    Apparently I can't search for "user" or "rating," so I can't find the threads about it. I've had people actually PMing me because of my user rating...any way to fix that sumbitch? :confused:

    Poll: What would YOU do?

    Alright, my PS2 has been slowly crapping out on me for a few months now and now it's to the point where it won't read any discs at all. I've read about the lens-cleaning/voltage adjustment process online and I actually opened her up last night, but I don't have a small enough screwdriver...

    Well, I'll be damned... **POLL**

    One day before I'm all set to move back into the dorms I finally call my roommate. He seems like a good guy, and I start to think "this might not be so bad," even though I applied for a single room. He says he got a new roommate assignment just a few days ago, so I call down to the housing...

    I need recommendations on random stuff that I need to buy.

    Cell phone (Done) - It sounds like any generic flip phone will do. Backpack (Done) - Eastpak Rev Carbon backpack. Black socks - I can't seem to find a decent pair of black socks. Not dress socks, and not too short, but something that'll be above my ankle that I can wear with my duty boots...
