So this is me and the crazy crochet hat I just finished making

Ha ha, that's cute! :)

The best beer in LA comes from San Diego. Might as well come to a place that isn't a dismal hell hole and skip the middle man!

[pronounconnoun]

Haters gonna hate.

[crazyD]

I don't think it is a subjective statement to say that LA is a dismal hell hole compared to San Diego. LA is the Detroit of California.

Does that make Tupac Shakur the Ted Nugent of California? They did both keep releasing albums well past their prime.

[pronounconnoun]

Your opinion, crazy. I'm personally not fond of some of the towns surrounding the Sierras. The name of the one I'm thinking of specifically escapes me.

Nice ADD. How that exists in a 3 dimensional plane astounds me. Good job.

Oh yeah, I'm definitely getting a stalky vibe from that pic.

Hah! I was going to say something like, "You don't even have my address." Then I realized you've sent rinichanraar stuff in the past.

I doubt you guys have enough yarn to cover my massive head, but thanks for the lovely thought.

[ADDGirl]

Thanks it is a quirky little hat I plan to make one with more color

Oh yeah, I'm definitely getting a stalky vibe from that pic.
This from the man who knows what direction I should walk from my house to get to the bar and what railroad tracks I'll pass where... I think there is definitely some projection in that statement

I don't necessarily see it as a very manly hat LOL but if you wanted one I would make it. Santa was mostly kidding when he said that though. I think rinichanraar would look cute in the hat though

Can you make Link hats?

I can't help it if I grew up around the corner from where you live. Nor can I help how inexpensive webcams are.

What do you mean when you say link hats? I can make a beanie with a triforce symbol on it, but if you mean something else I need a reference picture, but it is likely that I can

New photo time!

My friend Karie and I enjoying a shot of whiskey a few weeks ago:

http://flexapic.com/g.ashx?id=8531

Enjoying is probably not the right word, as it was actually quite terrible whiskey. The beers were good though.

[Hawkzombie]

All you two need now are top hats and monocles.

[MagGnome]

You may be on to something.

[Purple Santa]

Enjoying is probably not the right word, as it was actually quite terrible whiskey. The beers were good though.

Considering the beer to whiskey ratio, it is obvious you enjoyed the beer much more than the whiskey.

Your friend is cute too. To bad she's a female friend and all ;)

[MagGnome]

I will have to tell her that one of my friends on the Internet thinks she is cute. ;)

I have a few more pics from that night with guys in them, but I didn't want to start any rumors.

[Purple Santa]

I have a few more pics from that night with guys in them, but I didn't want to start any rumors.

You would think all the stuff we have stated about you (pickles and all) there wouldn't be any rumor you could be afraid of.

[MagGnome]

I do love pickles...yum.

[National Kato]

I'm just happy to see Mags smiling in a picture. ;) It's a nice smile, bud.

[MagGnome]

It's an unwanted side effect of the beer. :p

Thank you!

[National Kato]

So we'll be seeing smiles in springtime New York? Excellent!

[MagGnome]

Yes, I'm sure you will all see plenty of my smiling face in NYC. :)

Myself and a friend enjoying homemade Irish car bombs (with homemade Bailey's!) at a birthday party on St. Patty's Day:

I'm sorry Mags, but American idealisation of Irish terrorism really rubs me up the wrong way. It's a wonderful cocktail of ignorance and hypocrisy.

Lighten up. Most drink names are already offensive anyway, it's not like Mags named it himself. Red headed slut, anyone?

[Reverant]

Yes, please.

Also, I'll have a drink.

[MagGnome]

Like Bone said, your anger seems misplaced and a little over the top. There are tons of drinks and shots out there with names that could be considered offensive or in ill taste. I didn't name the drink.


Lighten up. Most drink names are already offensive anyway, it's not like Mags named it himself. Red headed slut, anyone?

How dare you, sir. HOW DARE YOU! :mad:

:p

[Hawkzombie]

Yeah, let's ignore all the other highly offensive drink names and focus on one that was made in a US pub in 1979 (supposedly) (a good while before the IRA became a more well-known issue and the terrorism showcased in The Devil's Own (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_devil%27s_own) was more commonplace):

The Irish Car Bomb is said to have been invented in 1979 in Wilson's Saloon, 76 Franklin St. Norwich, Ct., on St.Patrick's Day, by Charles Burke Cronin Oat. It was a variation of another drink he invented known as the Grandfather. Made of one half oz. (give or take) of Baileys and one quarter oz. (give or take) of Kahlua. After realizing that something was missing, Charles Burke Cronin Oat added some Jameson Irish Whiskey, as he did this he said "the IRA just showed up", due to the fact the mixture started to foam over like a little explosion. And with this invention, the Grandfather disappeared and a new drink, the IRA was born.

Two years later, while he and some friends where drinking IRAs and Guinness, Charles Burke Cronin Oat reinvented his recipe once again by dropping his shot of Bailey's and Whiskey into his half finished pint of Guinness with the comment "Bombs Away". And so the Irish Car Bomb came to be.

It's not American idealization of Irish Terrorism anymore than the IED is idealization of suicide/roadside bombers and terrorists.

But hey, let's go ahead and pour ourselves an Abortion followed by a Dead N***er to wash away the awful taste of that Irish Car Bomb.

[MagGnome]

That's an interesting story. I learned something new today.

[Entropy]

I'm sorry Mags, but American idealisation of Irish terrorism really rubs me up the wrong way. It's a wonderful cocktail of ignorance and hypocrisy.

The over-reaction-meter just pegged.

It's a drink...drink names are often vulgar and offensive.

[Primus]

Ahh, the irish car bomb. I wonder if a drink called the improvised explosive device would be so popular in the US.

Heh, an Englishman trying to get international sympathy. That's a good one.

That's cool. I am officially too old to stomach any drink that begins to curdle as soon as it's mixed... see the Cement Mixer!

Black out
Wake up 12 hours later with a whole collection of new cuts and bruises, as well as a monster hangover that lasts a couple of days
Make a fried breakfast to speed the recovery process (it doesn't matter if it's breakfast time or not)

My recipe is more like a long term plan. Tequila really doesn't agree with me. That's why I don't touch the stuff anymore.

I rode my motorcycle to work today. Being able to ride in the HOV lane took a half hour out of my morning commute. However; the ride home took over two hours. I had to take a "detour" out into the Cascade Foothills. Traffic had died down a bit by the time I neared home.

My new job/position is wonderful! The people are fun and they seem to love the chance to tell me details about the system infrastructure. I've already been able to take some of the stress off of the other IT Support guy. He is a great guy and has some wonderful stories that he doesn't mind sharing.

I'm the oldest guy in the IT group but they seem to be looking to me for wisdom and the calming influence of maturity.

Either that or they are afraid of breaking the old fart.

I love this place! :D

[Hawkzombie]

I recently started a new job as well. I now work for IKEA, building furniture for their As-Is department.

I've never been at a job I actually enjoyed. It's odd but very refreshing at the same time. Just gotta get used to long days (It's been a while since I worked 8.5hr days) and long stretches of shifts (so far it's been 5 in a row for a few weeks)...but otherwise I really like it. Pay is better, and a lot more hours too.

[crazyD]

I started a new job a few months back. It's tech support, but I have found out that it is possible for a tech support position to be a good thing. I work with code, I deal mainly through email, I learn new things every day, I work for a fantastically successful company that makes the best product in the market, I work with some of the smartest people in the field, and I am paid handsomely. It's a lot of pressure, but I think that's what I need in my life now. I am very happy with it.

Wait... :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Your beard makes me feel inadequate.

More awesomeness! I just went down to the actual retail store that we're moving into in a few weeks and it looks amazing. Check these out.

All the stonework in the first shot is painted latex mouldings. The view through the archway is going to be of a rather Marvel-style Asgard. The next things to go in will be the new flooring and lighting and I believe there is going to be a night sky painted on the ceiling.

Seriously though, there is a huge market in gay porn for guys who are of legal age but look younger. I personally find it disturbing, but if he ever needs some cash...well there you go.

Hmmm if you shave you're beard, you might be a shoe in.

Also is this porn sponsored by NAMBLA? :eek:

[Purple Santa]

I was a bartender for about 30 seconds but liked to tell women about a drink I created. I finally had to create one since everyone asked for it. I really doubt I "created" it but I did look around for something that would make it purple:

Purple Martini

3 oz Vodka
1 1/2 oz cranberry juice
½ oz blue Curacao liqueur

Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker and shake gently. Add more blue Curacao if the color isn’t purple enough.

[MagGnome]

If I shave my beard I look like a doofus, not a teenager. Plus my hairline isn't exactly at teenage levels these days. :p

NAMBLA members want actual boys, not men who look like boys. I still find it creepy that so many gay men are in to "twinks", ie men who look like 16-20 year olds.

[pronounconnoun]

I thought "twinks" also had something to do with body frame. Age is like "bear" and "cub" thing, I think.

MagGnome, must I school you at gays.

[MagGnome]

No, trust me. I know more than you. :p Yes, twink is about body frame as well. Twinks are guys who are young (or look young) and are slight of frame.

Bears and cubs are both hairy men who are stocky or overweight. Bears are older, cubs are younger. Otters are hairy/scruffy men who are slight of frame, have a little tone, or are height-weight proportionate in general. There are many more, but I won't go into all of them.

Yes, I would say so. I haven't seen you shirtless, but you look like an otter to me.

Really, most of the gay man "types" are rather silly, but I find them to be kind of fun as well.

The Hanky Code always cracks me up. There's a fetish store near me that has a wide assortment of handkerchiefs. That code is only used by a small subset of the gay community. It's kind of a gag among a lot of gay people, including my friends and I. I wore a green hanky for Saint Patrick's Day so that I would have something green on, and a few of my friends were like "Oh, you're a prostitute now!"

Unfortunately I didn't make any money. :(

First demand, then payment, then sex. You can show 'em the goods before you sell it, but only as a last ditch bargaining tactic.

If you ever go to an SCA event, stick a blue feather in your cap.

You have a very good looking family, jpc. It goes without saying, and it probably sounds insincere to some degree, but thanks for everything you do!

Thanks fitty. And this website has said that to me many of times over so I know there is sentiment in that statement. In fact, I remember this awesome community pooling together and sending myself and my soldiers a care package. It was incredible and I still can't say anything that will show my thanks and gratitude. As I always, I am proud to be a part of such a great community.

[National Kato]

Yeah, jpc - good looking family, man.

[Krispy]

Beautiful. Seeing faces like you in the military really help make it feel like a guardianship.

Celebrated my father's retirement on Saturday, 48 years of work and now he doesn't have a clue what to do. Guess he'll spend it golfing, reading, and on the beach.

Here's a pic I put together for the party showing my father and I sitting on the beach at two points in our lives.

In the first picture, it looks like your dad is nude from the waist down. His shorts look like shadows just barely hiding his crotch.

Fun fact: that was on a WWII era battleship.

[Xerxes]

I visited a battleship as kid. Once inside I was convinced the people who worked it were small. Maybe I should go see if TEXAS is bigger than I remember.

[Bone]

My grandpa's WWII uniform is tiny. They were all 18 and hadn't become a nation of fatties yet!

[Xerxes]

Well aside from being a fatty, I'm still not small. :p

[Bone]

That's what I mean, I'm looking at my grandpa's uniform and wondering how even the average person is so much bigger now. In all of his Army pictures, his whole unit was that size so I know I don't just have a shrimpy grandpa. Or maybe he was in Shrimp Company.

[digitalErich]

People are generally taller now that our grandparents generation. Better food, better food at younger ages, etc. It was slightly more gradual here in the States, but if you go to places like Japan, it's night and day looking the younger generation vs the people in their 80s and up.

When I was living in Japan, little old ladies that were under 4'10" were a daily sight out in the countryside.

It's not just a matter of weight. The obesity epidemic aside, we are bigger, faster, and stronger than generations at the turn of the century. In high school, my friends and I that were on the track team used to get a kick of looking at early 1900's Olympic results, knowing that if we had a time machine we could go back and just simply dominate 90% of the track and field events as slightly above average high school athletes.

So what did I do instead of going to New York with you jerks? I took a last minute trip to Denver to see old friends and some of my favorite bands.

That's me backstage after the show singing along with 3 bands. It was pretty great.

I wish I could have seen you guys too, though. =/

[MagGnome]

Yeah, it would have been great to have you along. Maybe then Krispy would have actually deigned to hang out with us. ;)

[Bad Buddha]

My father was 6'5" in Korea, but all the pictures we have of him showed a high-school kid that was slim but solid muscle.

Maybe I should have pursued a regime of abusive PT, starvation-level rations, massive blood loss and dysentery. Shame I have a soft spot for ice cream.
