    Eggs

    Put the cheese on AFTER you do the scramble the eggs.
  2. Fired again huh?
  3. I just hope the next GM will be able to make a few deals instead of staying with the same team at the deadline. Even though the M's won 93 games they were struggling and a trade or two may have righted the ship a bit... perhaps enough to beat the A's for the West.
  4. Posting threads like this on a message board just screams loser.
  5. In regards to the better worker argument if I were to talk currently who is better? Jarrett. Healthy HHH vs. Healthy Jarrett? HHH.
  6. 2003 is still in beta so why would you want to use it? Wait until it goes gold. Edit: It is released next week so it sounds like your friend has the beta unless he got the version earlier which would be odd since I have the MS Action Pack and haven't gotten mine yet.
  7. NEW YORK -- Montreal Expos general manager Omar Minaya will interview for the vacant GM job in Seattle and still is talking with the Cincinnati Reds and the New York Mets, a source said. Minaya is among several candidates for the Seattle job, a group that includes former Angels GM Mike Port. Minaya is expected to interview with the Mariners within a few days, a baseball official told The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity Saturday. Minaya already has had one interview with the Reds and probably will have another, according to the source. It is unclear how much interest the Mets have in Minaya, who was their senior assistant general manager before becoming GM of the Expos in February 2002. New York was interested in Houston GM Gerry Hunsicker, also a former Mets official, but he agreed Thursday to a one-year contract extension with the Astros through 2005. Seattle's interest in Minaya was first reported Saturday by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Pat Gillick, who had been Seattle's general manager for the past four seasons, said after the Mariners' final game of the year that he would resign. Jim Duquette also is a candidate for the job with the Mets. He has been the team's interim GM since Steve Phillips was fired in June. Seattle (93-69) finished three games back in the AL West and two behind Boston in the wild-card race. The Mets, who expected to contend, were last in the NL East at 66-95, while Cincinnati was fifth in the NL Central at 69-93. Montreal has been owned by the other 29 teams since February 2002. It is operated by the commissioner's office, which hopes to sell the team before the 2005 season.

    NFL Week 7 thread

    Thank God.
  10. Well you can actually go out and watch Orcas around here so that is why I assumed they put it in there.
  11. We saw that in the U.S., alright. Funny stuff. One of the producers said they got into an argument with FOX over that episode. The actual title was "A Period Piece", but FOX ordered a change to "The Camping Show". A stupid argument when you realize that the episode titles never got on the air. That episode was aired here, the episode that wasn't aired was about Peg and Al going to a motel recommended by Steve and Marcy and finding out that the owners of the place record it's guest having sex...which they find out when they turn on the tv to see Steve and Marcy going at it, heh. It ended up airing on FX a long time ago.
  12. Damaramu and The New Me just need to fuck and get it over with.
  13. It is a big mistake to venture out at night if you are young, male and unmarried in the Indian state of Bihar. Subhash Kumar, a bank clerk in Patna, let his guard down and paid the price by being kidnapped. Four days after being carried off by a gang of thugs, manacled to a bed, starved and severely beaten, Kumar found himself married to a girl he had never seen before. His tears and offers to pay ransom led to beatings, at least until the nuptials were complete. During the marriage ceremony a rope was tied around Kumar's waist in case he disgraced the bride's family by trying to flee. But by then, the resistance had been beaten out of him. In those dark hours, all he wanted was for the nightmare to end, even if it meant being married to a complete stranger. The next day a sullen Kumar took his wife home, vowing vengeance against his in-laws. But, like thousands of similarly married Bihari grooms, he feared the kidnappers' vengeance. Unwilling to face more beatings, he resigned himself to marriage. "After marriage, compliance [of the groom] is guaranteed by the kidnappers for an extra fee," said Mithelesh Singh, a political activist from near Patna. This is marriage season in Bihar, in India's east, and it is a dangerous time for young men. Bihari social workers say excessive dowry demands by grooms has forced the parents of young women to hire men to organise such "shotgun alliances". Bihar is among the most violent of India's 28 states, where politicians and landlords own private armies and the rule of law barely exists. Officials in the state capital, Patna, said scores of bachelors were abducted each year in the state's Gaya, Darbangha and Purnea districts and, after being beaten senseless, were married according to Hindu rites, in a custom that had gained tacit social approval. Payment of large dowries - banned by law - is widespread in Bihar. The bride is expected to bring with her a wide range of consumer goods and presents and jewellery for her husband and family. Dowry demands often continue well into the marriage. When the bride refuses or is simply unable to meet them, she is brutally treated, at times even set on fire. In the early 1980s such deaths became so common that anti-dowry activists forced the Government to change the law. Today, any such death by burning within seven years of marriage is deemed unnatural and the husband and his parents are charged with murder. More than 12,612 dowry deaths were recorded across India in 1998 and 1999, the largest number in Bihar and neighbouring Uttar Pradesh. Activists in Bihar said the groom kidnapping system was well honed. Delivery by the "groom contractors" was guaranteed within days. Middle-class professionals are among the top targets. "Eligible bachelors are so terrorised by these enforced nuptials that many rarely ever venture out alone during the marriage season," Mr Singh said. Many even left the state.

    Eggs

    Ahh Deviled Eggs. I can eat them all day.
  15. I remember in 5th grade smashing a kid named Russian named Igor's Commie face into a steel basketball pole because he jumped me from behind. Ended up fracturing his orbital socket and broke his nose. MrRant.... Taking out Commies at the tender age of 12.
  16. Other teams have a shot at the Laker's because not all stars are willing to take the exception unless they are older players like Payton or Malone.
  17. ^^^ Listen to this man. He knows what it is like.
  18. I won't watch either. If it were Yanks/Giants, Yanks/Cubs or Yanks/Braves I would but I will not watch the Marlins.

    Overclocking

    Just make sure you are aware of the risks associated and if you don't feel comfortable doing it. DON'T. Buy a new motherboard or processor if your board supports a higher one.
  20. Apologize for the guy teaching a dog to Sieg Heil? While the intention was wrong to do that.... it's pretty goddamn funny.

  23. I have confidence in my team.
