  - I did enjoy matching up with that L50 guy to see where I stood. - David Mar 2, 09:18 9
    - "Here is the bullet. You stand in front of it." -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 09:31
    - yeah, playing against those guys makes you feel like you are somehow missing something important in the game play. - tRuMaN Mar 2, 09:21 7
      - I really think the best way for a person to improve is to play legendary. - David Mar 2, 09:23 6
        
        So you all did a campaign challenge? - Will Hunting Mar 2, 09:25 5
        
        It wasn't a challenge per se. I just thought that would be a good way for Crash to learn in an easier environment. - David Mar 2, 09:33 4
        
        I would play the campaign with people - tRuMaN Mar 2, 09:39 1

Amazon has a bunch of magazine subscriptions (cheap), plus you get a $5 gift card back. Wired 1-yr sub. $10 (before $5 gift card), stuff like that. -- (link) - LoraxSean Mar 2, 08:56 1

    - I love that my girlfriend makes these jokes. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 2, 09:20
- I like the logic behind Cutler's trade demands. "You tried to trade me and I didn't want to leave, so trade me!" - Will Hunting Mar 2, 08:55 3
  - I'll be floored if they move him. -- nm - TFox Mar 2, 08:59

- Become a fan... -- (link) - Cuzzin Todd Mar 2, 09:01
- Is it strange that I didn't think they were that bad. -- nm - Reagen Mar 2, 08:55 5
  - I wouldn't let them play my wedding or anything, but they were way better than I expected. - TFox Mar 2, 08:57 4
    - I was expecting the opposite, like they were fantastic and then the good deed provided more comedy down the line. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 2, 08:58 3
      - Yeah - I was expecting them to be amazing or something, not just "not that bad." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 2, 09:02
      - It didn't hurt that I love that song. -- nm - TFox Mar 2, 09:01 1

monoprice order completed. lyc -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 2, 08:43 5
- Excellent choice for your cable buying experience. -- nm - Mop Mar 2, 08:44 1
  - yeah, I've been buying from them since I first hear about the site. - tRuMaN Mar 2, 08:55
- great. now order some pants. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 08:43 2
  - I am wearing pants. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 2, 08:44 1

- snack list inside - pork rinds will save your life! - Pippy Jokester Mar 2, 08:51 11
  - ...pork rinds? *vomits in my mouth a little* - kelly Mar 2, 08:54 10
    - Znu makes his own jerky. Pork Rinds are for people who miss chips. I only at the hot/spicy ones - Pippy Jokester Mar 2, 08:56 4
      - I can't do pork rinds. When my mom can't find the spicy ones she shakes hot sauce on the regular kind. - Diva Mar 2, 09:00 2
        
        heh - in Mexico City they have these carts where you can buy a foot-square piece of pork rind. You slather them with hot sauce and lemon -- nm - Alan More Mar 2, 09:06 1
        
        *erps, then faints* -- nm - Diva Mar 2, 09:09
      - I wish I made my own. I get it from my dad, and it never lasts long. -- nm - znufrii, pinko commie liberal Mar 2, 08:57
    - Pork rinds are in the same bucket as cheese curds. "Foods that sound gross but aren't." - TFox Mar 2, 08:56 3
      - I wonder what pork rinds and cheese curds would taste like if they actually *were* in the same bucket? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 09:06 2
        
        I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. -- nm - znufrii, pinko commie liberal Mar 2, 09:08 1
        
        and it tasted like awesomeness, didn't it? Just the thought of it. - Beryllium Mar 2, 09:09
    - My dad makes homemade beef jerky a couple times a year. it's really easy and really good. -- nm - znufrii, pinko commie liberal Mar 2, 08:56
- most low card diets will tell you that cheese and various nuts are snacks - tRuMaN Mar 2, 08:43 7
  - Fruit is a no/no - if you have to have fruit - eat the low carb ones - pears and I think Strawberries -- nm - Pippy Jokester Mar 2, 08:48 6
    - ok, maybe I meant veggies. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 2, 08:54
    - I've been eating frozen berries. - kelly Mar 2, 08:51 4
      - you are correct that you will need some carbs!! so I think you are doing well with the choices - Pippy Jokester Mar 2, 08:55 3
        
        I'm hoping that using the fresh spinach rather than the frozen won't make too much of a difference. - kelly Mar 2, 08:59 2
        
        let me know if the fresh works or not - if not next time you can saute it up a bit in a pan prior to adding it. - Pippy Jokester Mar 2, 09:02 1
        
        Oh yeah, that might be it. I can't see it falling apart anyway - I mean, a burger doesn't fall apart. - kelly Mar 2, 09:05

        I'm trying to remember if I have any other plans for Saturday afternoon. -- nm - znufrii, pinko commie liberal Mar 2, 08:47 1

        I get really worried if mine gets up to 250 -- nm - amoxy Mar 2, 08:45
    - OK wow...That is incredible - amoxy Mar 2, 08:44
    - Now I feel bad for posting not one, but two candy photos to TT365. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 08:43 2
      - I really liked those pics - I thought they came out looking great. -- nm - kelly Mar 2, 08:44 1
        
        thanks :) Yeah, the field-of-candy one was amusing, since it was just a quick snap of a bulk candy bin - Beryllium Mar 2, 08:45
    - wow. -- nm - znufrii, pinko commie liberal Mar 2, 08:41
- Holy s**t. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 2, 08:35 1
  - *smiling now* -- nm - Diva Mar 2, 08:35
- *GASP!!* - Kelly si Mar 2, 08:34 3
  - Yeah, obviously cool and collected isn't my thing. - kelly Mar 2, 08:35 2
    - Stop it - you were wonderful. Can't thank you enough. You helped me a lot. As has Crankyanker. -- nm - Diva Mar 2, 08:36 1

- ditto (except for the part where it didn't snow here) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 08:33 9
  - Though on the positive side, I weighed myself and I've lost 13 pounds so far this year. Gotta find something good about the stress. -- nm - Dano Mar 2, 08:36 8
    - I'm still at approximately the same point as when the year started, which is disappointing when you factor in how much more exercise I've had. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 08:39 7
      - halo and guitar hero do not count as exercise. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 2, 08:40 6
        
        I've been going for long walks. Also been doing some light jogging. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 08:47
        
        But he is learning how to run. -- nm - Dano Mar 2, 08:41 4
        
        Left foot, right foot weren't descriptive enough?! -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 2, 08:47
        
        Run Bery Run! -- nm - Pippy Jokester Mar 2, 08:47 2
        
        *makes a huge racket running in his leg braces* ... heheh -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 08:48 1
