St. Gabe is in this thread, and I bet he's in tears. It's okay, big guy. Let it out.

SHE DONE GOT A FUCK BUDDY!

When I was in highschool, I had a couple of month-long, mostly makeout-based relationships with "real" girls before getting into a very serious (for 17, anyway) net-based relationship. I got laughed at...a lot. But, I was happy for nearly a year, and it was worth it to me. We did eventually meet, ever so briefly, and it was...nice. Here's what you've got to consider: 1. First off, ask yourself objectively why you think girls look down at you. Is it a bullshit reason like looks or money, or do you tend to rip the legs off of puppies? You seem like an alright guy to me, but I don't really know you, and if you're doing something to legitamately frighten or bother women, if/when you and this woman meet, she's likely to be frightened and/or bothered. Use this knowledge as a chance to objectively look at yourself and try to better yourself, if needed. //Tony Robbins 2. Are you in a position where you will be able to meet with her reasonably soon? Call "reasonable" within six months. If not, are you attempting to do so? A lot of people use "net-dating" as escapism; a way to get away from life's problems. Make sure this isn't you. You owe that to both yourself and this girl. Furthermore, I don't know about you, but even months into my relationship, I still had the nagging doubts. Is she real? Is she who she says to be? For me, a face-to-face meet was the only way to know for sure. Likely, she has some of the same doubts, even if she won't admit them to you. If you say you want to meet, and she seems resistant, that doesn't mean to break it off immediately, but it IS a red flag. 3. Are you sure you're not settling? Luckily, the girl I was with was very pretty -- WAY the fuck out of my league, I tell you what. But, I assume you've traded pics at this point (if not, do so). When you meet, you're going to need to be attracted to each other. Now, attraction can grow from love, but there needs to be SOMETHING there to work with. Just make sure that you're not going to lose the romantic fancy once you meet. Good luck, man. And don't worry about anyone who looks down on it. There's a stigma, but first off, this is 2006, the friggin' age of computers, and furthermore, if you're happy, that's all that matters.

Where's DJ Jeff when you need him?

It worked for Shawn.

Holy shit, that article was funny. DO YOU WANT MONEY TO BUILD A SAILBOAT AND GO TO GUAM?!

Am I the only one that has a green face sticking its tongue out? I certainly don't see any link.

No, not really. I'm glad someone caught the joke, though. Mine is a Briggs.

A little late to the party, but I was just going over the FR photo gallery: 1. WHO is that scrumptious little tart sitting with Traci? She's great. 2. Check out the Final Resolution wallpaper. Is it just me, or does Joe look REALLY disinterested? Daniels has his normal look going, and Joe's lazily throwing a fist at the camera, with a look that screams "okay, let's get this over with." I'm not implying Joe didn't want to be there, or anything -- just made me laugh.

If that chair looks like anything from Star Trek, it's an Akira-class ship, featured in First Contact.

I thought Johannsen was horrible. Very wooden. Maybe it was just me.

Yeah, well, my dad makes more money than your dad!

Holiday Spice tasted like carrots to me. But I drank a lot of it and grew to like it. ...That's probably not healthy.

Your opinion in soda is irrelevant!! This mix sounds like too many things together to be any good. Honestly, I never understood why Vanilla Coke came out tasting so bad. Putting vanilla ice cream in coke is great, and when I've gone to a couple diners (okay Denny's and Johnny Rockets) when they put the vanilla syrup in coke it tastes great... but the one made at the Coke factory isn't that good. It's similar to this one root bear I forget which, which has this similar vanilla creme flavor that tastes amazing for a few sips, then afterwards it's just positively awful. I love Cherry Coke though (actually I think I might like the Pepsi version of cherry soda better) so this may or may not be very good. As Special K said, probably just about average or mediocre. I think it'll work for the same reason that Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper works. Vanilla extract is best used with another flavor to sweeten and enhance that flavor. Coke isn't a really distinct "flavor," like chocolate or cherry, and so the factory VC isn't so hot. HOW-EVER, most restaurants use vanilla syrup, which is pre-sweetened, so it works. Cherry Vanilla Coke should be very strong cherry flavored, which'll be good times. Although... Pepsi are rumored to be realeasing "Cherry Vanilla Swirl Pepsi", in the near future. This right here will take Coke's version out back and shoot it, then beat the corpse simply because it can.

If the mods know who it is he should be banned, but as Czech said, that rule has always been spotty. I don't know if I even favor that rule, as it would have kept CWM out of WDI, if I'm not mistaken. Not that CWM is some prize, but I'm just saying, as an example. If, however, it's all speculation at this point, a ban is unwarranted.

Heel Turn is absurd. LJ Sexay, though, is a good guy. He hung around WDI some back in the day. That's insta-cool.

I'm oddly reminded of the "Big Johnson" line of t-shirts. I remember really wanting the DX parody one when I was 15 or 16. I even remember the members of the group: Double D, X Rated, Nice Ass, and I believe Doggy Style. If I ever saw my son wearing that shirt, I'd shoot him, then myself. Good times.

So, I'm reading the fantasy football newsbreakers, and it seems Brad Johnson told ESPN that he wants to be a starting quarterback this year. Apparently, though, there's a problem, because Johnson signed a four-year deal with the Vikings last year. Am I the only one not seeing the problem here? The Vikings have him, he wants to start. He played very well for the Vikings. Am I the only one who starts BJ over Daunte in 2006? -Hoff

All part of the work, my friends. Matt's all "depressed" now.
