So, I am kinda sorta in to comics, as many of you know... it started long long ago (for me) when I traded some of my GI Joes for a stack of x-men and other comics when i was in middle school. They weren't in great shape then, and 15-20 years in a bag hasn't made them really collectible, but you know how it goes... they still mean a lot to you.

what geeks would do with $700 Billion

i like #2 and #6, even though i only 1/2 get #6... hehehe

Hey all, I have another question for you!

Ann took a LOT of pictures last week, and I'd like to make a DVD slideshow for her to take to her parents that they can watch on their TV. Has anyone done this? I've found ULead, which is at least well known, and can try that out, but i wanted to see if any one of you had done this before and have any experience and or a favorite app to use?

thanks!

Ed McMahon is getting sued, apparently he was, and is, broke, and getting sued a lot... how sad and bizarre!

I'm about to order this:

I didn't know quite how good 10/5 has been to me recently... 2 years ago on 10/5, i received my cat and 1 year ago on the 5th was my first date with Ann... I wonder if this year will be a trifecta

why not eat well at least, while it's sinking?

So while in LA this weekend, for our last meal, Ann ordered a “pan finished rigatoni with beet greens and sausage” – it was really good (beet greens being something I constantly overlook, even though they’re like, free awesomeness when you buy beets!), the best part being that while the rigatoni was completely cooked, it was a also crunchy which is, I’m assuming, achieved by just slightly undercooking the pasta and then tossing it in a very hot pan with fat for a few minutes - I’d go with the bacon or sausage grease here, or oil if not using meat, yes? – and then combining everything?

It was a bizarre texture for the pasta, but fantastic, and I want to recreate it… has anyone done this? i saw one recipe that looks promising, but anyone with first hand experience is called upon to tell me if it worked well or not... thanks!

God these tards make me retch. I had to deal with a whole bunch of them this weekend (in laws). Idiot step something or other of the wife's has seen 8 of the last companies he has ever worked for implode in the last week. Is mortgaged to the hilt lives in exurbia driving two Escalades on the verge of financial oblivion: Stupid cunt wife who hasn't worked in years because she wants to be home to watch her precious kids (despite their impending homelessness) who are middle school aged and in school all day anyway; Proclaims that they have to vote McCain because he will stop murdering babies. Vote your're economic self interests or at least a real issue. I think we seriously need some form of near mass extinction to cull the heard.
