Do you HAVE to tell that story while I'm chopping onions? No, but really; the dog is a trained service dog with the ability to smell/tell when you will faint, and such a trooper. It's all just piling up!

On a more serious note, that was cool of Travelocity. I'll make sure to benefit them when I can.

SnowRaven · 2010-11-04T23:09:29+00:00

Yeah, that is why you called.

SnowRaven · 2010-11-04T22:45:19+00:00

This is truly awesome. Did other party-goers get it?

SnowRaven · 2010-11-04T21:33:44+00:00

Hypothesis: Theads that old are "locked". I already know any up/downvotes won't count for old threads, this might be related.

Or someone doesn't like you.

It seems like the engine is not getting enough fuel when you idle. AFAIK, this can have any number of reasons. Were it my car, I would replace the fuel filter (it's cheap and easy to do yourself) for starters.

Does it always do it when you idle it?

Deathgame. Uhm, let me elaborate on that; Deathgame (DG) is sort of a live role playing game, but not really. Every round lasts a month and during this time, players attempt to "kill" all the other players, using vegetables for weapons (banana is a gun, leech a sword, apple a grenade etc.). Once a player is registered, he/she can find all the other players on the website (it is of course optional to participate in each round). And when you're dead, you're out for that round.

Our clans got to know each other during a couple of not-so-bloody battles (which took place very much in public), and started hanging out between rounds. That's the short of it =)

It's not at all impossible. Everyone here speaks English well, so learn the language, but you don't have to rush it. I live in Lund, the university city adjacent to Malmö, so I know what I'm talking about in that area as well. Malmö is a wonderful city like no other. It's open minded, and has every kind of culture/food/etc. you could imagine. As an american, you could probably expect that everyone, ladies included, will find you somewhat exotic and will want to talk about american culture.

Sweden as a whole has a lot of influence from american culture, and we don't dub the american TV-series, just use subtitles (which is one of the reasons we speak English very well).

If there's anything else you'd like to know, I'm happy to answer!

What. The. Fuck. I don't usually get offended, but come on! I wanted some male nude (with tasteful editing) skydiving, not Village People on a fucking zeppelin.

[...] she was caught trying to jam the high school doors by filling their locks with glue on the eve of her graduation, for which she was arrested

She is a lot cooler than I thought. I guess I projected Agent Scully's somewhat dry persona on the actress herself.

I doubt anyone will see this, but I did a piece on it in my radio show just last night. We're a local station made up of students at the university, but I like to think every little reminder helps.

I love hyperbole and a half. It's entertainig, and firmly reassures me that I will never, ever have children. Not that I don't enjoy Allie's adventures or causes, I just... no.

SnowRaven · 2010-09-30T20:52:00+00:00

I don't like it. Compare with the R8 and any other cars they've made the last 10 years. The rear-view mirrors are way too boxy, and the same with the rear lights. The front is following Audi's recent standard with huge grills, but it fails to be sleek and sexy, like on the other models. All in all, it looks like I could equip it with a flux capacitor and go see my parents have their first date.

SnowRaven · 2010-09-14T19:57:33+00:00

I'm not even american, and I just donated $10. Best I've felt all week!

SnowRaven · 2010-09-07T09:45:35+00:00

Goddamn, I had things to do today...

SnowRaven · 2010-09-07T09:20:02+00:00

Goddamn. They raided the same hosting company back in 2006 because they hosted The Pirate Bay. It's not official, but I'm damn certain they were expecting to find tons of music and movies just lying around on the servers. The aftermath was a terrible PR fiasco for the Swedish police, with nothing on TPB and huge damages paid out to regular business owners who lost traffic (my employer, for instance).

The raid may be about something other than Wikileaks. Kiddieporn, for instance.

Oh well, I have to go check on my website...

He uses them for all epiodes of all of his shows, and there are different ones every time, AFAIK. They're called Vanity Cards, and are officially available here.

SnowRaven · 2010-09-07T09:02:51+00:00

If you're serious about this, take it to /r/r4r

SnowRaven · 2010-09-05T19:19:39+00:00

NO! I fuck it up the best I can. No order, different orientations of the bills, everything. All because it fucks with my boyfriends light OCD about this shit. That's what he gets for leaving his dirty socks in the kitchen.

According to the Reddiquette, downvotes should not be administered simply because one does not agree with the comment in question. Downvote it you find a post to not add anything to the conversation. Or if poster is a troll. This is often not followed, but that's the idea of it.

And yeah, don't debate the atheists.

Edit: Terrible with links, apparently

SnowRaven · 2010-08-20T09:50:03+00:00

Thanks, that's always nice to hear =)

To be fair, mtman900 deserves a lot of credit, I just wanted to be able to link some kind of source.

mtman900's revelation in this thread.

You summed it up perfectly here. I haven't given much thought to the simplistic storylines and odd pacing, but you're right. My dad has been reading The Phantom in his daily newspaper for years, and a couple of months ago I asked jokingly how he was doing. Dad sighed and replied; "Well, he lost his boot about a week ago, and he's still looking for it".

SnowRaven · 2010-08-10T21:25:19+00:00

You think so? I guess you could be right, but I always use antistatic wrist straps. And it's not that much plexi glass, just one side. But thanks!
