I was an avid gamer for over a decade. I quit WoW, and then quit gaming completely... does that count?

Anyway, I'm not overly concerned with the health effects of small amounts of second-hand smoke, but I still can't stand to be around it. That odor lingers in rooms and on clothing like nothing else. It's incredibly irritating.

I do not agree with laws preventing any business from allowing smoking though. If a place wants to be 100% smoking allowed then fine... I won't go there, but it should be their choice.

you are omitting a strong pretentious odor. Ya, I know who Bill Hicks is. Sorry if i didnt catch that in your obscure reference where you named him by first name.......which just so happens to be a very common name. While Bill Hicks may be hilarious, his understanding of the military is juvenile at best. I would take what he says about the inner workings of the military with a grain of salt and a shot of penicillin, most especially considering he's served all of zero days in said military.

At least youre doin a stand up job of painting yourself as the narrow-minded, predisposition-ed, fucktard that you are =P

Mr. T is still my hero. Everyone's got to make a buck, and this is how he does it. Surely you can't expect him to live on cameos alone. If I had a choice I'd suckle from the teet of Blizzard too (or Google) whenever given the opportunity. Can't blame him really. At least it's not Foot Odor or Herpes commercials. (I pity the fool's genitals that don't use this creme!)

I shall buy a mohawk grenade tonight, knowing that I'm paying Blizzard, who in turn is paying Mr. T, who may buy another bottle of mohawkonditioner.

dingleberry

A smallish, semi-dry, extraordinarily tenacious remnant of fecal matter which, when unwittingly rolled into a mixture with toilet paper lint by the action of wiping, becomes almost irremovably entangled among ones anal hair, a situationality exacerbated by the vigorous chafing and friction between the buttocks and most commonly remedied by the sad and almost entirely unavoidable remedy of plucking out at its root the individual hair to which each dingleberry is conjoined. Of related interest, dingleberries are often noted as having the vague odor of undigested corn or peanuts. -Urban Dictionary

I am sure he is left with something his immune system took out in the end.

Probably, but it's also possible that the cyst lining remained (having only removed the "gunk" that the cyst produces) and it would eventually fill up again, especially if it's actually a "cyst" and not just an abscess.
Even if it were an abscess (the diagnosis of which is supported by the apparent odor), it could still recur if nothing was left in the incision to allow it to drain.

Are we sure those are actually ladybugs? We get huge numbers of beetles that look like ladybugs, but are actually some sort of related beetle from Asia. I mean, *lots* of them, but not that many of course. I was once sucking them up with a vacuum cleaner and counting as I went and I ended up with over two-hundred after only a few minutes and I was still just working the one bay window. Legend has it that if you see that many in your room, inside the walls they're swarming.

When you squish them they leave some sort of stain and a foul odor and I've heard they bite though I've never actually been bitten. The most annoying thing is that because there are so many, they're all half dead and they fly drunkenly around the room running into things. It's actually a little amusing when the ceiling fan is running, but those things would probably put your eye out at such velocities.

Still, if you're going to be infested with bugs, it could be worse. At least they aren't earwigs or cockroaches or something gross looking like that. Still, an invasive species reproducing so prodigiously has to be screwing up some ecological balance or other.

I worked in a water treatment facility when I was younger. After seeing all the shit that was tolerated and allowed to pass through, I definitely filter my water at home.

Where I live now, the water may be perfectly safe but it does have a slight chlorine smell. I use a Pur Ultimate faucet mount and it completely removes the odor. The filters are cheap when you buy them in 6 packs at amazon and they last a lonnng time.

Even in areas where the water is great, it doesn't mean every drop is the same level of purity. Things are allowed to fluctuate between certain levels and sometimes they go on the high end.
That's my 2 cents.

^excellent actually! Like pre-buttered lobster.

..or, if you are wondering about their chemosensory abilities, those are excellent as well. Mantis shrimp can actually
identify the specific 'odor' of other individual mantis shrimp . They are aversive in the presence of the odor of animals to which they have lost conflicts, and bold in the presence of the odor of an individual they have defeated in the past.

About 6 years ago, my parents took me to Germany and The Netherlands. It was amazing. It was in late May - I had just celebrated my 21st birthday.

We spent two nights in Haarlam (it's about a 15-minute train ride west of Amsterdam), drove east to Germany, stayed at a different German town every night for 6 nights (Koln (Cologne), Aachen, Bernkastle, Mainz, Cocham, and Koblenz - the Youth Hostels in Germany are AWESOME, especially Koblenz, we stayed in this re-purposed fortress overlooking Deutsches Eck - The walls were like 6-foot-thick stone... I digress...) and then spent our last two days back in Haarlam. We did some day trips to Amsterdam and Zandfoort as well.

When you get out of the main train station in Amsterdam, you're at the north end of the city, looking south. As soon as you walk out of the building, you'll notice a big multi-story parking structure just off to the right. But its not a parking structure for cars - it's for bikes only. Just outside the train station in Haarlam, there's a space about 1/4th the size of a soccer pitch, just for bicycle parking.

And the Dutch reap ALL the benefits of biking everywhere. Nearly all the women had AWESOME legs, toned, cut... mmmmmm.... MAN I miss it...

You don't see gas guzzlers anywhere on the streets of Amsterdam. The roads aren't NEARLY wide enough for a Ford Exploiter. No one would be able to afford the gas either - what we pay for a gallon, they pay for a liter (over 4x the price - which is weird when you think about it, since the Middle East is closer to them than the US...)

As a side note, the canals WREAK to high hell in the late spring/summer time. When I walked out of the train station, my nose was assaulted with a very foul odor. It was like walking into a barn, but I certainly didn't see any livestock...

I guess you'd get used to it if you were living there...

eh, there's a very strong odor of negligence that would not be there if not for the plaintiffs overpresentation of their lack of guilt.

so what if the girl took the keys, when the boy didnt discourage it at all, which came as a result of his mom's already lax attitude about driving the car unlicensed.

the whole situation could have been prevented by one lady: the mother who was watching the minor kids.

ultimate responsibility falls with the driver, but morally the plaintiff is wrong.


Judge Judy has it down.

And yea that kid looks healthy ... she's just saying. He could look decomposing like the other kid. It's a comparison designed to drive home the point of what is really important...

*parody

Hmm, it could stink your car's odor. Roasted human! How about malfunction?

Words cannot describe how much I hate these movies. I must instead make use of guttural sounds and various body odors.

Ta-Ta Body Odor.

Are they sure it is "face recognition"? It was never mentioned by the narrator, and it seems more likely that they would remember the other wasps' odors rather than their faces.

Why didn't they just shout at her, that's how liberals usually "win" arugments.


What was that noise? Sounded like a rat skittering round a corner.

And what is that sudden, flatulent odor?

Oh! I know! QM decided to make an appearance.
