    Trying to remember an old card game

    Way back in high school, during lunch hour, my friends and I would always play the game Asshole. Unfortunately it's been almost 11 years since I last played it and almost all the mechanics of the game have escaped me. Thus, I am making an appeal to the much vaunted base of knowledge that is ATOT...

    Looking for some good coffee

    I have a friend with a birthday coming up. She's in the States, I'm not. Also, she likes coffee quite a bit and I don't. Thus I come to ATOT for advice: Where online can I order some nice gourmet coffees and not have to worry about shipping issues? Any suggestions on nice blends and/or...

    Just saw Control Room

    The movie itself is a documentary about the inner working of the Al Jazeera (Link). It is set at the start of the second gulf war and ends just after the US declares victory. The whole thing was a really fascinating look at a network that is always demonized in the american media, and...

    YABT: Just finished reading The Salmon of Doubt

    Yes, I just finished The Salmon of Doubt by Douglas Adams. A little behind the times, perhaps (book came out 2002, paperback which I read came out late last year) but what can I say; I have a huge To Read pile. Anyway, as to the book itself, I found it fantastic. I've never seen any of...

    Repair of Logitech z560s possible?

    I have a set of Logitech z560 speakers about 2 years old now. In the last month the front left speaker has died on me. It's not the speaker unit itself, because I can swap in a different unit and the old one will work in the new position. As near as I can tell, the problem is with the subwoofer...

    How Fast is Fast Enough?

    This was something I've kind of been wondering for a little while now. I was inspired by all the speeding ticket threads, and all the God-Damned-F#$king-Slow-People-on-the-Highway threads, and all the road rage threads that show up here. Almost all car threads that involve movement on the road...

    Need a Brutal RTS Game

    I need a hand from the gamer element of ATOT here. Essentially my roomate is driving me nuts with his obession with C&C:Generals:Zero Hour. And it's not that he's trying to beat it or anything; he's done that multiple times on Hard. And it's not that he's trying to get better scores or...

    For All Those Who Hate Chick Sermons...

    A little something. Hope this isn't a repost. (Sorry if it is.) Personally I dispise the actual things and this is a delightful parody. -- Jack Campus Crusade for Cthulhu. If your god's dead, blame mine!

    Toys for Fundamentalists

    Not sure if this is a repost. Did search. Hope not :) From various threads around here I know that a lot of you are either hard core religious yourselves or have to put up with people who are. And since it's the holiday season (well, for a few denominations, anyway) you're probably wondering...

    I can't believe I'm agreeing with these guys...

    At least they're attacking their own people now.

    YAGT (I suppose): Best Friend Got "Married"

    Note the quotations around married. That's a term that I'm using for people who have found a boyfriend/girlfriend (Hereto referred to as Significant Other, SO) and that's the last you ever hear/see of them again. If that. Its origin comes from the all too common fact that once a man gets married...

    Scary Movie 3 -- The Wrongness Hath Returned

    Ph334 the movie Ohh.... my... gawd. That's all that can be said about this. Really. I have no idea if the plot is going to be as coherent as the first one, but I certainly hope it's not as loose as the second one. Still, these things are not seen for their plot :D Of course with Kevin Smith...

    What do you think is Bond's worst double entendre?

    Hi all Now, anyone who has seen James Bond knows some of the funniest stuff is the one-liners and double entendres he tosses off with the ladies. Since there's likely a good number of us here, I figure I'd see what we can come up with. My vote for worst/most groan enducing double entendre is...

    Can someone explain the massive appeal of The Italian Job 1969 ver.?

    Hi all. Managed to rent the original versions of The Italian Job and Ocean's 11 recently. Saw Italian Job and, well... while it had it's moments, I can't see why it's as hugely popular in the UK as I've heard it is. Can someone from there explain it to me, or at least someone who's really...

    ** Question ** -- Who here would turn down free stuff?

    Greetings all. This was inspired by a lot of the self righteousness flying around here of late. There's difference between being grateful for a gift and accepting leeway with a purchase someone wants to make for you. Let's toss out an example all of you should be able to grasp; computers! Your...

    Engrish lessons or "Your fists of evil are about to hit my steel wall of niceness"

    From the last decade or so here are examples of some of the more.... poorly translated video games. Posted here at the insistance of my mate, so blame him! (especially if this has already shown up here)
