old joke; another member (wanna say croatoan) was divorced and remarried but his new wife and ex were good friends and they all hung out together all the time so he would say stuff like that all the time

I always assumed he was a mormon.

I wonder how many people accidentally cut themselves yesterday while cooking. Surely that's newsworthy, too.

I'm cool with ads! I have adblock on for the more obnoxious ads (and some avatars; seriously casu those worms are gross), but generally don't bother blocking the sites I browse and junk. Like, I'm OK with the hulu ads, because they're letting me watch TV shows that I don't generally get on my TV, because no cable. And they're relatively short, all said and done. Let me show you what I see on my screen. Maybe my screen resolution is too small? It's set at 1366 x 768. Here's a screen shot:



It annoys me when the header is that huge. Again, if it were a regular sized ad, I'd be fine with it. Chill out, dude. You need a calming manatee:

Oh yeah, kinda forgot to elaborate, since others had actually real news to discuss in this thread right after I posted that.

Well, parents showed up in town again and said they weren't leaving until she admits she is wrong and heads back to Texas with them for a "cleansing". :stare:

Like a week and a half later they're still at a hotel in town and I guess boosting our local economy. They're also kinda stalking us, going to the coffeeshop we hang out at and some of our favorite restaurants asking about us.

Casu is also a worthless layabout (farmer) and an unscrupulous adulterer (they live together but are not married), corrupting the purity of the innocent (whose parents are crazy baptists) who has somehow come under his thrall and needs to be rescued by any means (no matter how insane) necessary.

Yeah they sound crazy enough to try something like hiring a "cult deprogrammer" to kidnap her. If you live in a small enough town you might see if the sheriff is willing to drop by their hotel and have a friendly chat with them.

Or just buy some coke, have the GF agree to meet them in their room to talk, have her plant it in their stuff, then call the cops on them.

Coke is really expensive. Just plant some schwag on 'em an call it a day, jeeze. Also, don't do either of those.

My crazy (very different stripe, mind you) in laws are slated to come out and visit my wife and brother in law in Iowa from our native N.H. this spring. Their family is instant drama bomb, but Christ on a cracker, nothing like Casu's going through. Stiff upper lip and all that bro. Best of luck.

My wife is awesome and spent 6 hours putting down flooring today by herself while I worked and while I watched the Pats get their asses handed to them. I love that lady :3.

Why is that video :gonk:?

what

  • a very timid goon using a lol loving huge wok burner haphazardly placed on top of (isn't that a cheap residential stove) with a stainless backdrop slowly and meticulously removes small bits of nut skin from a wok with a giant ladle before slowly and timidly nudging pieces of food around with a giant ladle ("stir frying") and timidly fiddling with the heat settings and oh god I could keep typing words but how is this not completely uncomfortable for you to watch

it's just a bunch of spergey equipment for (what appears to be a timid home cook) to have, and it's just idk really goony and like watching videos of socially awkward guys proposing to girls in really public places and the girl is like 'oh my god no' and runs away with her hand over her mouth and the guy is like 'whelp'

also what other folks said, that video should have been like under a minute long.

I won't deny that it's an obnoxious design choice trying to get you to read more articles. I just wanted to point out that the increasing use of tools like adblock, or the potentially disruptive tools like Megakey or its planned successor, will result in either even more annoying, unblockable ads, or less free content.
