Elrond. And yes, Hugo Weaving is, and always will be, awesome.

Got on a climb called 'Cherry Red' in the red river gorge this afternoon. It blew my mind. The first 5.14a I've been on, and I think that if I work the hell out of it, it's going to go down. I did all the moves, linking it is not far away. Back at Miguel's (campground, gear store, restaurant) for a little whiskey and slackline, back at it tomorrow!
Go climbing guys! Come climb with me in Kentucky if your close, I'll be here for weeks!
A lazer pointer.
I am a cat.
Kelly Osbourne is hosting Miss America. She is ugly and she's a Brit. I'm offended.
I liked Miss Texas better. Miss Alabama looked completely clueless.
'Cherry red' 5.14a, crushed it this morning. Rest day, then 'God's own stone', another .14a that I've heard great things about. Get some.
You don't have to climb hard to have blast here, check out the online guidebook. www.redriverclimbing.com
Smelled gunfire in my sleep. Woke up at 4 am. Heard nothing. Kept the lights off. Grabbed the Teeball bat. Ninja walked to the french doors in the dark and peered out the shades. Nothing happening. Waited for something to happen. While I was waiting realized I was sleepwalking. Turned on the news saw that WILDFIRES WERE BURNING TEXAS ALIVE. Went back to sleep. Woke up 5 hours later. Tripped over bat.
Haha. Nice. What were the words?
Probably, "How old are you?" and 'Surprise!"
Hashem, Haran, Mashiach, then there were some other words I couldn't figure out how to spell.
oK Ross. I dont actually speak Hebrew. What were they in engrish?
Hashem = God
Haran = Some dude from the Old Testament
Mashiach = The Messiah
Upon second glance at those words, that blows my mind more......I think I'm just going to ignore that that happened and not think it means anything.
That's pretty awesome.
You know too much. Expect to be shadowed by govertment employees who want you to decipher the stock market. Then some Hassidic Jews are going to save you, but you'll have to translate the 120-something-long name of God, but you'll be like, "nah, chill."
Then, something with ... a drill? And your neighbors are Asian? A brain in a subway station.
I have to watch the movie again, sorry.
Gnome Rage.
At least the dream wasn't in Hebrew text. With words like God, Messiah, and old crusty Jewish dudes from the bible, you could have been having a vision of the second coming. If the format was in either wizard or stormfront though, it could have just been a religeous proclamation that monks were coming RSN.
This isn't the first time I've had a dream in a language I don't know. Though usually, the only words I remember are somewhat common or frequent words. Probably just my subconscious recalling those words and filling in the rest of the speech with mumbo jumbo make believe filler.
It still bothers me so much that the supposed math guy accused the Jews of having tried every possible 216-character combination for the name of God when they could only try it once a year. Really, math guy? Come on.
What blew my mind today: the guy behind Bon Iver is Tom Waits' son.
Ok, technically speaking he's not. But it would make so much sense if he was.

Something that blew my mind today: Bob still pretending to obsess over me, even though it didn't work the first time. If him getting my full name, school and phone number without me giving it didn't creep me out enough to make me go away - I don't think this will either...
Mind. Blown.

You know what really blows my mind? The following progression:
Gnome Rage joins the forum, is an immediate attention whore.
I give her shit for doing/saying stupid things; she is upset.
I stop after a while and instead focus on her positive traits.
She starts IMing me and I am nothing but nice to her.
It quickly becomes apparent that she has some sort of mental deficiency and has already determined in her own mind that my intentions are to torture her and nothing else, despite her contacting me first.
In turn, I can't hold a real conversation with her because nothing I do or say is interpreted in any manner outside of my obvious need to hurt her.
Google tells me a lot about her; I relay the information to her, because for some reason she doesn't think this is possible.
She throws a complete fit and makes up some story about being so frightened of me that she is sobbing and vomiting.
She threatens to involve police.
She gets other people involved who attempt to help her only to discover that I did nothing wrong.
It is discovered that she doctored IM logs in an attempt to paint an entirely different picture of me.
When I apologize to her for very unintentionally making her uncomfortable, she dismisses the apology as an attempt to persuade her not to call police since my arrest is clearly inevitable in this situation.
I stop dealing with her in any manner for a while.
I eventually stop not dealing with her by not ignoring her on the forum anymore.
She immediately goes back to detailing this non-existent plan I have to ruin her life.
Blows my mind.
I only see a few flaws with that.
I said I COULD involve the police - and I didn't doctor AIM logs.
Oh and I think I said that I FELT like vomiting.
Oh Oh. and the fact that you go out of your way to mention me, such as this thread, when I didn't even post in it. Hm. Other than that, I think your account is fairly accurate - although biased.
Bitches be tripping..
But I'm being honest, why would I deny what happened?
You went out of your way to get my information - regardless of how easy it was, you took the time to do it in order to prove something to me, what it was I'm still a bit foggy on.
Wtf?
Everything he said is technically correct, although laced with bias. That is generally the series of events.
..........
Bob, it's okay to have sex with a female. They're not all like this.
That's a lie.
>>>>Gnome Rage joins the forum, is an immediate attention whore.
I give her shit for doing/saying stupid things; she is upset.
I stop after a while and instead focus on her positive traits.
She starts IMing me (to ask him to stop being a creep) and I am nothing but nice to her (in an even more creepy way)
It quickly becomes apparent that my intentions are to torture her and nothing else, despite her contacting me first.
In turn, I can't hold a real conversation with her because nothing I do or say is interpreted in any manner outside of my obvious need to hurt her
Google tells me a lot about her; I relay the information to her, because I said he didn't even know my name (after telling me how in looooovee with me he was)
She is upset because he took the joke too far (by texting me "hey baby" after telling me my full name and school and implying he REALLY wanted to have sex with me)
She says the police COULD be involved.
She calls Nikki for insight because she's upset about the happenings.
When I apologize to her for very unintentionally making her uncomfortable, she dismisses the apology because I have never once been sincere.
I stop dealing with her in any manner for a while.
I eventually stop not dealing with her by mentioning her name at random points in threads that she hasn't even been talking in.
She immediately goes back to detailing this plan to upset her.
Blows my mind.
Quoting style in honor of The Bobbers.
The Bobbers! From her perspective your actions are looking creepy.
Can anyone link some of the posts where Bob was being 'a creep' towards her that caused her to feel the need to IM him to tell him to stop being a creep?
This is all I have access to at the moment since the conversations occurred on different computers: http://pastebin.com/yAMqvmhA
I dunno. If it were me and some guy was being a creep to me on the internet in public in front of all the other forum members, the LAST thing I'd do is IM him privately to "ask him to not be a creep". I wouldn't instigate ANY type of private conversation and that's why I'm calling bullshit.
I skimmed it. Fairly freakin creepy, but harmless nonetheless.
I can see how someone could take some of those IMs as creepy, but assuming the conversation is real that's a far cry from "I just IMed him to ask him to stop being creepy! *sobs uncontrollably*"
Line 25 is awesome
(11:46:10 AM) Innocent Victim: lawl. Come to quincy market and act this way for realz. but don't buy me lunch because the state is buying me that
For those that don't read code as well as I do that's saying "OMG you are really creeping me out, please stop IMing me, please stop texting me, please stop telling me you love me, please just STOP!"
See, I read it as him being sarcastic and fucking with her because she craves the attention, which she was clearly enjoying in that conversation. Also, she types like a retarded crunch berry.
Then again maybe I'm wrong and the proper thing to do with an internet guy who creeps you out is to tell him where you're going to be on a certain date so he can show up, should he choose to.
I just compiled the rest of the logs, and I got to the last one:
(12:45:47 PM) Gnome Rage: I just want you to know that I respect that you didn't take the opportunity to post anything about the other night and I thank you for that.
I guess I won't be posting it. What I did post was the earlier stuff where she isn't going batshit insane. I don't feel too bad about it either since she brought it up today in the first place.
What blew my mind today? GR wants to fuck Bob, but won't admit it. Bob wants to fuck GR, but won't admit it. Instead, they act like they hate each other. High school!
I don't think Bob could handle it.

This September will mark the 20th anniversary of the release of Nirvana's Nevermind.

Nirvana was one of the worst music groups ever.
Their sound sucks IMO.
Watched Cat on a Hot Tin Roof with Elizabeth Taylor today. I could not peel my eyes away from the TV, it was so good. Acting looks to have once been a very skilled profession...
Thanks I will. I'm thinking about finding 'Giant' next. Not really into westerns but the list of big names on IMDb is hard to ignore.

Learning that Lee Adama is British and stars on Law & Order: UK. He sounds so weird with a British accent.
It's always such a surprise when you find out that an actor you've seen a lot of is from some other country with a weird accent that just doesn't seem to fit.
This thread is silly
Jason was one of the people I was thinking about as I made that post. Eric's accent is the same as on screen and Bill didn't surprise me, but when I first heard Jason speak in an interview I was like LOLWUT. He plays such a perfectly stupid hillbilly that I couldn't imagine any other accent coming out of his mouth.Quote:
Thread for things that... 07-14-2011 10:59 AM Try Eric, Bill and Jason from Trueblood. Scandanavian, British and Australian. So weird.
Charlie Hunnam was another big surprise for me. He sounds so perfect on Sons of Anarchy that I was really surprised to find out he was British. Also that actor who plays the lead on that new show The Glades. He sounds more American than a lot of Americans do, that he's kind of on par with Hugh Laurie when it comes to accent-masking.
He's ashamed.
http://www.jazzradio.com/
and then i wasted an hour having a new second favorite kind of music.
I felt the same way when I first heard Hugh Laurie speak in the real world, as opposed to on House. The guy is like a classically trained thespian or something.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/content/..._4_396x222.jpg
Also, one day I was flipping channels and I landed on a British movie with Hugh Laurie and Joely Richardson (Julia from Nip/Tuck). I knew both of them were British, and Joely definitely isn't as good at masking her Britishness as he is, but it still felt like some bizarro world. It was a pretty awful movie but I still watched a good bit of it because of their accents, lol.
Brits couldn't handle House at first. All British actors seem incredibly bad at American accents.
Why DO films hire British actors who they need to speak in an American accent?
I never understood that.
Yes, and all Americans are nicely bronzed with perfect orthodo.ntics, and live clean, sober lives.

You won’t find it in the Guinness Book of World Records, but Andre the Giant holds the world record for the largest number of beers consumed in a single sitting. These were standard 12-ounce bottles of beer, nothing fancy, but during a six-hour period Andre drank 119 of them. It was one of the few times Andre got drunk enough to pass out, which he did in a hallway at his hotel. His companions, quite drunk themselves, couldn’t move the big man. Fearing trouble with cops, they stole a piano cover from the lounge and draped it over Andre’s inert form. He slept peacefully until morning, unmolested by anyone. Perhaps the hotel people thought he was a piece of furniture.
Went to the Yankees/Orioles game tonight, and the Orioles actually managed to win.
"You laid on my naked body and applied your mouth to me without guilt or humiliation. You drove me near crazy while you drained me. Today when I awoke, you were gone. I searched for you but to no avail. Only the sheets bore witness to last night's events. My body still bears marks of your ravishing, making it all the more difficult to forget you. Tonight, I will remain awake, waiting for you...Flipping mosquito!!!!"
I wore a t-shirt inside out the other day and when I looked in the mirror the next morning for a split second it surprised me that it read the right way.
Quadriplegic man dies in sky diving accident.
I was craving some egg drop soup, two eggrolls, some combo fried rice, and some Hunan chicken with the little white box of rice with the wire top. The place down the block from me closed a while ago. My neighborhood has changed in the past 5 years. So I Googled.
Googling my zip code + chinese food or zip code + Hunan chicken yielded dreadful results. Places way to far to walk or even drive to. The one place I tried to drive to had lease signs in the window.
So I just drove and explored the next busiest street close by. And I found not only what I was looking for, but two other possible good take out locations. There was ample parking out side of a chinese food front, a Thai place, and the Mexican place all next door to each other in a quiet little urban stretch.
I found my egg drop soup, my two egg rolls, some combo fried rice, and some Hunan chicken. But thats not the mind blowing part of this story.
When I pulled in front and parked at my newly discovered take out place there was a construction sign there, and someone had written a name in black marker on it really small... almost like a signature.
It was my first name.

I love how part of the award was for 'loss of future earnings' when the guys friend admits he took meth and stole shit in order to buy more drugs. How do you base 'future earnings' on this type of guy? In stolen goods and abusing the welfare system?
He was 20 years old; if he had a degree and the potential to work a well-paying job, the future earnings valuation would be closer to or more than $1 million alone.
Proof that crime does indeed pay!
Bob is saying IF he had a degree AND the potential to work, which apparently he didn't.
No clue how all that is calculated, but it reeks of BS.
That is how civil cases work, yes. They get expert opinions from economists who value the person's life, which includes the money that they could have expected to earn over the rest of their life (and discounted appropriately -- $50k over 20 years is significantly less than $1 million, for instance). The same applies in similar cases where the person lives but is permanently disabled.

San Francisco (CNN) -- Police officials said they helped Apple investigators, who searched a man's home here recently.
They were reportedly looking for a prototype of the next iPhone that an Apple employee left in a bar in San Francisco's Mission neighborhood, according to CNET. Apple had contacted the police claiming the prototype is invaluable, the report says.
Four San Francisco Police officers escorted Apple investigators to a home in the city's Bernal Heights neighborhood, the statement said. The two Apple employees searched the home while the officers waited outside, police said. They did not find the item there and declined to file a police report, according to the statement.

Speaking of razer, my mouse keeps turning off and on lately and I hear it's a common problem with them.
Speaking of mouse, I don't think I'll ever stop accidentally looking directly into the lazer underneath.
Yeah, just replaced the battery in my mouse. Not a good day for my electronics.
Changing the battery, looking to see if it is working when the battery seems to be running down and checking to see why it's sticking to the surface of my desk.
Oh and just looking straight at it because I want to see.
I had a problem with my Naga where the horizontal sensitivity just plummeted, so I could go up and down fine but going side to side was horrible.
But Razer was pretty good about their CS, replaced it for free almost instantly. Maybe they'd been having problems with it, who knows.

Summary of the vid:
1. We need to get rid of our borders so we can welcome all walks and forms of life
2. The country can sustain a limitless number of people with open borders
3. We need to cap the salaries of people because we're too greedy which in turn causes all our problems
4. Obama pays welfare checks, not tax payers! He pays it out of his stash.
5. Obama's stash is funded by illegal aliens who work and then somehow funnel money through the government
Y'know this isn't the first time I've heard people talk about Obama paying for their various government programs from 'his stash.' Seriously where did this notion come from? Did these people just start receiving government assistance since Obama has been in office and some people assume the president at the time personally pays them? Is this a new phenomenon with Obama?
