I'm sure he will scrounge some hits when they play the Blue Jays Tuesday.

If you play scrappy and get the hits in the early going, you'll get the big hits when it really matters

Taking a fire axe, which we don't have, to a velux roof window is never a good idea. Just open the window and head onto the roof, before jumping onto someone's car below. That's my fire safety plan, in a nutshell.

Are you sure the roof is the way to go? If there is a fire the smoke will be bellowing upwards and you won't be able to see anything or breath for that matter.

I'm going to be a long way from the building, before the smoke is that thick. I'll even have time to pack the laptop up, though I shouldn't.

We need someone that will present a decent setup for the Labour Party, someone that can be a decent opposition leader and take the country forward as the next PM. I say that Ed Milliband is the one to do that.

Anyone from Labour who's reasonable is good enough or me. Gordon Brown had his ups and downs but I do feel sorry for the guy for being thrown in the deep end with the economic issues. I bet Tony Blair knew we were heading to a recession and left it to Gordon Brown.

Yes, it is. But you have to keep in mind that they had no record company (or only smaller ones). So it's hard to keep an album in print if you don't have a major label covering the costs.

Well you're supposed to drink it in the autumn, but while I know a lot of beer drinkers, I think none of them likes bock beers all that much. I think they also prefer pils or white beer in the summer (from the tap). While I really don't like beer all that much, I have to hand it to them that white beer is pretty good stuff on a warm summer day.

Yeah, we'd have spent our way out of recession, keeping people in work, so that they can pay taxes and reduce the deficit. Sure, the way that the Tories have employed works, but it keeps the poor poor and the rich don't give a fuck, because they live off the interest.

Now that's a day worth celebrating.

But of course.

Maybe so but when it came to him having to run the country, it might have been overwhelming. Although, the resignation of Tony Blair didn't all happen at once. Meh, I'm sure Brown would have managed it well by now or rather better than what Clegg and Cameron are doing right now.

Yeah, we'd have spent our way out of recession, keeping people in work, so that they can pay taxes and reduce the deficit. Sure, the way that the Tories have employed works, but it keeps the poor poor and the rich don't give a fuck, because they live off the interest.

And that's the tories in the nutshell. I hate this country.

With that vote, you now have 13,000 experience points.

Interesting.

Your experience gave you a voting power of 6.44 votes. Your blam and protection points gave you an additional 38% of your experience power, meaning that your total vote power was worth 8.88 votes!

That's cool I guess.

It's one of those state's rights issues. There are certain things the Federal Government can regulate and certain things the States can regulate. And no it's not too hard to just go across the border and pick up a bunch of beers, though there are some stores that won't sell to out of state people for some odd reason.

Yeah you hear about the differences in state laws sometimes. Primarily about gun laws, but also about drug policies and other controversial issues.

Anyway, some stores not wanting to sell it to you doesn't sound like a big problem to me. If they don't want your money, just go next door.

But how's she gonna be able to finish her English studies then? I don't suppose they have an English, culture and language program at the MIT.

I'm doubtful they do. It's more of a research university which means that most of their degreess are geared towards science.

Yeah, I think most technical universities almost solely focus on engineering and scientific research. They might have some collaboration programs with other universities though. For example, I had an option for a minor in medicine. Sounded pretty cool to me, but I don't think I will have much benefit of that knowledge.

That might actually work. She's been asking me constantly about if we're gonna get a cat soon :p Of course she realises that there's a financial risk coming with it.

Yeah, feeding it, buying cat litter, vet bills, etc. Although it's not a bad as having a kid, heh.

Exactly. It's mainly the vet bills that can pose a big issue, although I don't think I'd like to miss the money that goes to cat food either. Oh well, she'll just have to wait until we're both done studying and get proper jobs.

I have a question. I know that this is the topic for stat-whoring your stats and having them recognized and put into a list for a page or two, I get that. But, why is it that, when I'm reading, I'm reading about things that seem to be completely off-topic. Take this page that I skimmed through, for example. I saw something about federal and state governments. That dosen't seem right. So, why is it allowed that this topic be a place for random, if not semi-intelliectual, conversations?

Or is it the fact that the word "Lounge" allows for this?

Yeah states like California are pretty loose with their drug laws especially pot while more conservative states tend to be pretty strict. The opposite is true with gun laws between Cali and conservative states.

I find just driving a bit further into Texas to those store will often remedy that problem. I think they just have an issue with younger kids trying to by alcohol.

I never looked up their degree course since they were well out of my budget but I'm sure if not at MIT, but other regional and public universities nearby offer some courses that she'd might be interested in.

I'm sure there are some bock beers in Germany (and of course Altbier), but I don't drink them. Mostly I drink Pils (or Pilsner).

Well you're supposed to drink it in the autumn, but while I know a lot of beer drinkers, I think none of them likes bock beers all that much. I think they also prefer pils or white beer in the summer (from the tap). While I really don't like beer all that much, I have to hand it to them that white beer is pretty good stuff on a warm summer day.

I never heard of beer that is supposed for certain seasons, lol. I drink pils be it spring, summer, autumn or winter. >_>

Also, even 6% would be really mild if you compare it to stuff you can get in Poland. ^^

Why am I not surprised?

I don't know. But I am not surprised you don't find any labels saying "brewed in adherence to the Reinheitsgebot" on beer that has 20% or more... ^^

No, I'm still on a dodgy PS2, because a 14" screen would never do it justice.

Oh yeah, I know what you mean. Right now my PS3 is hooked to an old Commodore Screen, which just looks awful. I can't even read the text on the screen sometimes. o_O

Yeah, the screen at Bex' was like that - huge, but not capable of decent quality, so we just had to put up with it, despite how bad it made Fallout New Vegas

Yes, that what it was like on the old TV. It is quite large, but it's no HDTV. So the quality suffers a lot.

Nope. Look at the pic you posted. They look awfully gay, no matter what. Try to find a picture where they don't look gay, it's just not possible.
Also, my uncle is a homosexual. But neither he nor his boyfriend look only HALF as gay as manowar. :P

Yeah, Bathory was the first black metal band as well as leading the way to many bands using the viking metal term.

Exactly. Bloodbath seems to be very unknown even though they are a supergroup.

How does the music compare with Opeth?

Well, no clean vocals for Bloodbath. And of course the songs aren't so complex.

But with the film, you'd think they'd get a major label covering them now.

I don't know where they are signed now. But I think they want to focus on producing new albums instead of re-releasing the old ones.

But new fans who saw the film will want to pick up all their albums so surely they most reprint them. Otherwise, people will only take the piracy route.

Whatever it may be. It sucks that Metal on Metal is so expensive. :(
