I have no idea what is he sure of, though. :P
Since then, the jokes about him spread widely. :P
I remember when Schumacher got supremely cocky and Barichello passed him on the last corner to steal a famous victory. He wasn't popular, since he didn't follow team orders, but if he had, both Ferraris would likely have faced penalties.
At least we squeezed a point out of that, unlike yesterday's loss to LA, 1-0. :(Speaking of which, Isles-Ducks in a few hours. Maybe we can shut them out as well.4-5 OT. Better luck next time.
Avs-Ducks tonight, go Avs!

Congrats!!
I just hit Level 27 right now
I don't have any plugs today, but I will tomorrow so stay tuned. Instead, today I'm going to talk about some things that happened at the concert last night in order of least favorite to most favorite.
Events (Least favorite to most favorite)
1) 10 year - They were mediocre at best and for some reason the performed longer then everyone else did. They were really the worst part of the concert as a whole.
2) Not getting to college until this morning, getting a couple of hours of sleep, and then going to class all day. Pretty self explanatory, but still more enjoyable then 10 year.
3) The bathroom experience from the Cheese Steak I had this morning before class.
4) Being deaf from the heavy metal songs.
5) The Cheese steak that I had. It was pretty awesome!
6) The heavy metal songs!
7) 1,000 Foot Krutch. They played pretty good all around and were a good opening show for the concert.
8) Someone tore off their artificial leg and rocked out with it. Amazing spectacle.
9) Red. I had never heard of this band before last night. They were actually pretty good. Their music was alright, but their visuals were amazing. I never saw someone do a flip while flipping the guitar around their body and still continue to play fine.
10) Breaking Benjamin. They lived up to their hype last night and they performed well for their home town.
Fro is tired, can't hear very well, and is going to take naps in between classes today while saying Congrats To:

Then just add 3650 to both values and you can see what your deposit rate will be in one year. Then simply multiply 3650 by 2 (3, 4, ...) to see what your deposit rate will be in 2 (3, 4,...) years.

Exactly! It's hard to say how much work she has right now but I'm guessing she's doing better than last year so far.
But I can't. Also, I need to get out my camera which needs some batteries and I don't have any new ones lying around.Don't you have any rechargeable ones around?
I think so but they're crap!
There's an UK pub in here, I'll give it a visit whenever I'm old enough. :P
Come on, doc! Do it, do it, do it!
Because quite a portion of the metal community don't take a liking to Sonata Arctica.Really? They are one of my favourite bands, actually. I've known them for so long...
Haggard might say a bad thing or two about them.
Well, Liverpool isn't too far off but not every band I know will play here. If they don't play here, then London may be the better choice, despite Manchester being quite close.London is the capital and, probably, the most important city, right? Most bands should have gigs there, I assume.
It makes sense.

I decided to move this from the top of my post to the middle. I feel that my plugs and odds and ends were starting to become the main part of my post instead of the list like it should be. I also think it looks much more organized down here.
Check out this video that I voice acted for. The animation isn't the best, the sound of the voices isn't the highest quality, but I really do feel like it makes up for these things with a lot of humor. Perhaps I'm biased, but I've laughed at parts every time I watched it.
The author was pretty upset that it went ignored for the most part. It had 0 reviews up until last night when some random person came by and gave it a 10. The scoring was a bit odd as it passed with a 3.00, but then for some reason dropped down to a 2.4 that night. Almost like someone had massed it down. Then the next day the score went back up to about 2.8 and I haven't a score do that on a submission before. O.o
Plus you get to see an animated Fro sing. Of course by Fro I mean me. ;)

Sometimes it doesn't load anything at all. Also the post button on the BBS sometimes just doesn't respond.

I don't think so. I've been having trouble with Firefox as well now actually. Similar problems arise. But I think the reason might be that too many people are on the internet here. NG is a pretty heavy website and perhaps my dad and brother are downloading tons of stuff at the moment so that my connection becomes incredibly slow =/
