dang that sucks big time... and game informer had just done an article saying it was getting stupid close to finshed. We played it at school over the LAN they had. No one had a clue we were even there doing it til one douche got on a computer and opened it after he accidently found it (we constantly moved the shortcut folder to folder) after that we had to password it and could only play it during computer gaming club on friday afternoons. by that time though it had blossomed into 2 groups. the starcraft/AOE people and the Rogue Spear/Halflife camps. it was awesome!

im a radiologic technologist (i take xrays), predominately female line of work (not a bad thing) but the worst part about it is... being called a nurse... also hate it when people call me an xray technician. theres a difference. technicians only push a button. technologists do it all. so if you come into anderson hospital and call me a nurse or a technician... expect no mercy or waiting for pain meds...

Shirtless Biden Washes Trans Am In White House Driveway WASHINGTON—Taking advantage of the warm spring weather Monday, Vice President Joe Biden parked his 1981 Trans Am in the White House driveway, removed his undershirt, and spent a leisurely afternoon washing the muscle car and drinking beer. "This baby just needs a little scrub down," said Biden, addressing a tour group as he tucked the sweat-covered top into the belt loop of his cutoff jean shorts. "Gotta get her looking good so I can impress the chicks when I'm cruising down Pennsylvania [Avenue]." White House aides said that Biden pulled into the driveway shortly before noon, the chorus of Night Ranger's "you can still rock in America" blaring from his car's stereo. According to witnesses, Biden spent several minutes maneuvering the Trans Am into the perfect spot, and was observed drumming his fingers on the steering wheel until the song came to a close. The shirtless 66-year-old then entered the executive residence and greeted employees with a round of high fives and a variety of nicknames. "Hey, hot stuff, looking good," Biden told a passing aide. "Would you know where I could get a little bucket and sponge action? My mean machine needs to be cleaned." After acquiring the necessary washing materials, the bare-chested second-in-command returned to the driveway, where he spent several moments staring in apparent awe at the firebird decal on the hood of his car. Biden, who purchased the white Pontiac in 1983, has made an annual tradition of taking time off each spring to wash and tune-up his vehicle. In 2008 alone, the veteran politician reportedly missed two dozen Senate sessions in order to spend some quality time "taking care of [his] baby." "He does this every year and it really seems to rejuvenate him," Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT) said. "Back in 2001, the car was up on blocks in the National Mall, and he was so busy rotating those tires that he bailed on the confirmation hearings for secretary of state." "What're you gonna do, though?" Dodd added. "That car rocks." As Biden gently applied a sponge to the hood and moved it in small circular motions across the car's contours, a number of White House interns walked by and caught the vice president's attention. "She's a real beaut, ain't she?" said Biden, popping open a wide-mouth can of Coors Light and tilting back his head to take a long drink. "Back when Smokey And The Bandit came out, everyone wanted the black paint job, but looking back now, I'm thankful the dealership didn't have it in stock." "Oops, looks like I got a little brewha in the flavor-saver," added Biden, referring to his wispy, four-day-old mustache. "Any of you girls care to join me for another tallboy?" Biden then spent the next 15 minutes boasting about the features on his Trans Am. "They don't make kick-ass T-tops like this anymore, sweetheart," said Biden, shaking his head in exaggerated disappointment. "And check out these gold snowflake rims. They're a real bitch to clean, but they're totally worth it." "Back in the day we used to call 'em panty-melters," Biden continued. "One babe caught a glimpse of those rims after a Cinderella concert in '86 and she couldn't get into that backseat fast enough. If any of you girls wanna take a ride, just let ol' Joe know." For the remainder of the day, Biden occupied himself with hosing off his car, giving the side doors an extra coat of wax, and throwing out a variety of items from beneath its front seats, including crumpled-up fast food wrappers, a number of soft packs of Doral kings, an issue of Cheri magazine from 1991, and Senate bill S. 486. According to White House officials, Biden was still hanging out in the driveway long after dusk, revving the engine at passersby and explaining the intricacies of a turbocharged V-8 motor to anyone within earshot. As of press time, Biden had convinced Jennifer Britmore, a 41-year-old mother of four visiting from Indiana, to let him show her around D.C. http://www.theonion.com/content/news/shirt...ource=a-section

i always have a problem with these comparison shoot outs. the biggest is like ocn said. holy crap at those prices batman. i'd much rather see a comparison of each truck with the best "working truck" setup. no dvd, no leather, no DUBS. i cant wait for the silverado front end update. but i have some issues with some of the reasons why the trucks were placed in the order that they are. But axle tramp enters the picture when the truck is accelerating on silty off-road surfaces. (Our truck didn't have the Z71 off-road package, which seems like a $275 no-brainer to us.) thats cause you got the 20" wheels dummies. but i dont think that you can get the Z71 package and the 6sp tranny with the tow package. you can get the special heavy duty suspension though. in all honesty does a truck need anything bigger than 18" wheels if it is going to be offroad? that goes for the whole list of trucks here. the tiny control buttons on the center stack are hard to use. thats harder to use than the toyota's center stack looks like the pilot's view in a 737. my personal preferance is showing because i dont care for dvd nav backup cam do hicky's to begin with. just seems to clutter up the dash in my mind. Plus, the as-tested price of our truck does not include things like extendable tow mirrors, a rearview camera, a fully integrated iPod connection or rear-seat entertainment — which are found on most of the other trucks. Even the Silverado's sliding rear window is an optional extra, and it's the only truck here that doesn't have side curtain airbags. had we not splurged the option list so high these options could have been thrown on the LT crew cab and the price still prolly wouldnt have hit the high mark it did. But Toyota's all-aluminum 5.7-liter DOHC V8 with variable intake and exhaust valve timing remains mighty impressive. It likes to rev a bit more to make power, so the axle ratio here is 4.30:1. a 4.30 rear? the 6sp must be its saving grace. and yes it is rev happy because torque for it is in the upper as opposed to anyone who could tell you that it needs to be in the low part of the curve. hey Peterbuilt can i get a tractor that has to rev up to 4500 RPM before the rig can start moving forward? From the get-go, this capability applied to all cab configurations and trim levels, and that's because Toyota has to do everything with the Tundra; it has nothing like a heavy-duty T-250 or T-350 in its lineup. Chevy and Ford quickly countered with trucks that had higher tow ratings, though only in low-volume variants. uh come again? to justify tundra's lack of heavy duty by saying the others had to scramble to build low volumw 1/2 tons to compete? Well maybe it was low volume cause people figured hey im gonna be towing. i better get something that is made for that i.e. 250-2500-350-3500. This towing prowess does not come at the expense of everyday fuel economy. The standard 4.30:1 axle ratio leads to an EPA rating of 13 mpg city and 17 mpg highway. The EPA rates this truck at 14 mpg combined, but our Tundra only musters 13.6 mpg over 1,000 non-towing miles, 2nd best overall. This kind of powertrain performance is possible when a strong engine is mated to a well-calibrated six-speed transmission, but GM knows that because the Silverado had 14.2 a best in test. b]Two[/b] of the other trucks in this test could learn from this. fixed Equipmentwise, the Tundra doesn't feel like the least expensive truck in the test. Sure, it's the only truck with cloth bucket seats, and it has a simple aux jack instead of an iPod connection, but it does have a lot longer list of convenience features than the Chevy, including side curtain airbags, a rear-seat DVD player, extendable towing mirrors, a telescoping steering column, a rearview camera and a damped tailgate. uh instead of bashing a $45K truck for not having leather interior and the gold standard ipod jack which even entry level cars have you even it out by talking about extending mirrors and telescoping steering wheels and rear seat DVD... yeah it comes with another set of mirrors... paired up with smoke... It also has the only full-width, power-operated rear window instead of a small pass-through. And then there's that standard 10,100-pound tow package. wonder how nice that feature will be if it gets busted out... or stuck hehe. whats with the repeated 10,000 lb thing? congratulations mAn youse a real truck now essay. i think that my favorite part of the article is how the Dodge won. well deserved i might add. its a good looking truck thes time around and it has a lot of interesting points. i'll still go with the Chevy but thats cause its the one i like personally. but i find it interesting to see how edmonds picked the dodge over the yota and calls it sooooo close but in the summary of the dodge points out 2 negatives for every laurel of praise it bestows. There's lots of functionality, too, with heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel. It's got rear-seat DVD and TV, a back-up camera, Bluetooth and a fully integrated iPod connection that works. If only the radio itself — accessed through the same navigation screen — was as easy to use.[/i] wtf?

no real cutbacks. working second at the hospital though leaves much room for improvement on the food budget. its a struggle not to spend $6-9 a night eating. on the weekends they like to "splurge" and get take out from Outback, Olive Garden, and so forth. i dont dig payin $12 for a meal and not be there to say if something is wrong or not so i usually hop across the street and hit up the ole wendys $1 menu. I feel booyah's pain though about cutting back on gaming. its hard to pony up $60 everytime a new game comes out. I long for the days of ps1 and 2 when you could score top titles for princely sums of $20-40. I have turned to ebay to try and even it out. refused to pay $50 used for COD4 so ebay purchase of $34 fit the bill. oh yeah, i beat down the hookers and take my money back. tip i picked up from somewhere...

i must say currently i want to drop kick John mayer right in the throat for this disrespectful trash attempt at a remake of free fallin. if i were tom petty i'd be suing the piss out of that tool for slander and libel. also since sirius merged with XM the ethl station has been replaced by emo and indie rock bands that no one has ever heard of. gone are the days of hours of green day, weezer, sublime, fuel, tonic, nirvana, gorillaz, does it offend you yeah?, the foo, collective soul, you get the idea. i have to say i like the new weezer songs, seems back to the buddy holly days
