  1. We did even @ one time house a garter snake I caught @ work in the fall... We kept it through the winter feeding it nightcrawlers (can get them @ Walmart by the bait cooler)... It (she) shed its skin... During the first part of the spring we released it to a pond by the cemetery by our house. Sankes love voids! Graves would be perfect, pond too! :-O

     

    I once released a friggin' huge garter snake in the mess hall at summer camp during the middle of lunch. Never heard so much screaming in my life.

  2. I'd like to announce to everyone here that I'm a hetero.

    Anybody care? Oh, and I was in some Super 8mm movies when I was a kid.

     

    Any of 'em do half a billion $$ in box office?

     

    Juno - $231,411,584

    X-Men Last Stand - $459,359,555

    Inception - $825,532,764

     

    Somebody must think Ms. Page can act. She currently commands a salary of $3M per movie. Not Johnny Depp territory, but not exactly peanuts either.

  3. You need to meet me in Vegas one weekend. Granted, the people with cocktails didn't just start, but seeing someone with a Jack-n-Coke, pack of Marlboros and a stack of chips at the Pai Gow table while I''m looking for coffee at 6 a.m. is regulation.

     

    In college, we had more than my share of Breakfast of Champions: donuts and keggers at 6 a.m.

    We used to have Fosters & Fosters parties on Friday or Saturday nights. (Strawberry donuts + Aussie beer. Mmmm.)

     

    Leftovers were breakfast, a few hours later.

  4. My kids grew up watching Nihongo de Asobo videos.

     

    The penis-puppet is about the least weird thing on that show.

     

    (Imagine, if you can, the 600 lb Sumo wrestler Konishiki, dressed as a giant pineapple, engaging in tongue-twister duels with little kids dressed like snails. That was pretty much par for the course on that wacked out show..)

  5. I'm thinking it would be easier without the leggings.

     

     

    Otherwise, that is one annoying video.

    They'd slow me down about as much as Colin Brown could slow down a pass rush.

     

    And yes, it is. I'm stunned that people actually watched it all.

  6. some if those comments make me smh. Great family though. They did a great job.

     

    It's a "Would ya?" thread. What did you expect, catechisms?

     

    Maybe not officially.

     

    I want to slap that video.

     

    I watched it with the sound off. I am assuming that was a good idea.

  7. What's a bonus? I may get a promotion that comes with a 10% raise this month though. If that actually comes through, I'll consider it a bonus this year.

    Good luck on the promo/raise. That's exactly what I got last month.

     

    Oh yeah, and then the company's reaction to Obamacare kicked in and my health insurance premiums went up by 50%. Yay, bonus.

     

    I got informed that I have to take a pay cut next year. It's to my benefit, because it makes the company more competitive. So I'm looking forward to it.

    By any chance does your boss have pointy hair?

  8. A friend of mine built a smelter in his back yard. Aluminum doesn't need a lot of heat to melt, you actually don't want to use too much or it will become a noxious vapor. Not hard to build and it's a cooler way to get rid of my beer cans than returning them.

    Aluminum melts at 660°C

     

    Why do I know this? I once had a TA put our aluminum sample trays into a baking kiln set for 670°C :doh:
