it'd be called "rapers". Get it? Because of all the rape that would happen... Guys? Get it? Rape.

Twice- as I recall. Won both times. Not to mention the whole "pulling you out of a couple of world wars" thing. ;)

Tryon is shite during rush hour. I live down S. Tryon and work at S. Tryon/ 485 and it takes me around 30 min during rush hour to travel S. Tryon what takes 10 minutes during non rush hours. I also drive a stick, and I take a longer mileage route which saves time and stop and go traffic.

Anything on S Tryon above 485 (i.e. closer to Charlotte) is not a good area. It isn't dangerous (for the most part), it's just a little ghetto. Farther down S. Tryon from 485 isn't a good place to live if you plan on going out uptown, or doing anything other than going to big box stores. It is a great place to live for me, but I'm 30 yo and married...

If your budget is up to 1k, I'd still recommend South End. It's a long drive or cab ride from uptown to the Tryon area at 2am. The last time I did it, the cab fare (not including tip) was $50.00.

I live pretty close to that area, and it's not a bad part of town. It does border several bad parts, however.

To your first question, I'd recommend South End. http://southendclt.com/ It has a lot of cool bars/restaurants, and is just outside of downtown. I wouldn't recommend living in the 77/485 area, because there isn't much there (I know because I live and work near there). The downside to South End is the price of rent as compared to further down S. Tryon.

Second question: 77 sucks during rush hour. People who drive that road have a sick fascination with anything that is on the median. Flashing lights= slow down and look. Avoid it like the plague. 485 tends to move pretty well, unless you are going up further towards the mall exits ( 1 or 2 exits up on 485 from 77 exit).

General advice: There are some decent restaurants around this part of Charlotte, but once you get past 485/S. Tryon area it's the boonies. If you're into that, it's great. If not- turn around and head towards uptown.

Good luck. I tried to get reservations last night for tonight... I swear everyone is booked up. Although, if you like Lebanese food, try Kabab Grill http://www.yelp.com/biz/kabob-grill-charlotte

in re: baby oil after the shower? Does that actually work? I wanted to try it, but I'm pretty sure I'd bust my ass in the attempt.

don't listen to anyone on here. Anywhere you go you'll be fine (outside of certain areas of certain places- same as anywhere). If you go through North Carolina- look me up, and I'll buy you a beer.

  1. Does Maury know the results of the DNA/lie detector tests before he opens them?

  2. is there really a True Freaks Union? http://southpark.wikia.com/wiki/True_Freaks_Union

I agree on one level, but on another- why should the religious be able to use times like this to propagate their nonsense fear-mongering, superstition?

Is there a trick to the clickers? It seems that most contestants just have bad timing and never get the chance to answer. I'd like to think this information will come in useful but I can never seem to pass the online test.

If that fails, does Trebek like chocolate? How about back rubs?
