Anybody seen The girl with dragon tattoo yet? Wife wants to see this but I am very as she is a twi-tard and read all these books too.

movie was pretty well done.  could've just been my hangover, but i think it might be confusing for the casual viewer who hasn't read the books - the pace seemed (necessarily) quick to me and might be hard to follow.

i didn't really find it any better or worse than the swedish version.  salander in this one fit more with the vision i had of her than in the swedish version.  skarsgard as martin vanger was basically perfect imo.

when I had a stick, I read something about "hyper-mileage" dudes who can get like 80 mpg from an off-the-shelf Civic or something. After reading all the crap they did, I would shut off the engine and coast down hills all the time, then use the transmission to start the engine back up at the bottom of the hill. Lots of fun.

tom & ray would PI the holy hell out of you if you called in 

I think they would enjoy it a lot. But why would I call in? It worked great.

pro tip: they PI the holy hell out of people whenever they say they do that on the air.  but yeah, sounds like fun

Go to this link:

https://www.hiltonhhonors.com/landingpages/VisaInfiniteGold.aspx

Enter these numbers:  411945

Enter your Hilton Honors info

Boom, free Hilton Gold status for the next year and a half.  In my experience Hilton Gold is much better than other mid tier elite levels.  You get free breakfast (depending on which hilton brand you are staying at), room upgrades including club floor if available, late check out, etc. 

 

wow, feels pretty good already

well, now that we know a space heater is involved next to the electric blanket, the ball game has changed...

so like, can we set some kind of limit on how long between posts is long enough to send out a search party?  24 hrs, 48 hrs. ???

Help me out here?

all the talk about dlew's 55 degree apartment resembling wal-mart's outdoor section and/or him being homeless made me picture him living in charlie's squalid apartment on it's always sunny.  we'll know for sure when he starts posting a 'clams cooking thread about how to best prepare filet mignon on a hot pad.

I have the renderings in my office.  And no, I'm not going to post them on this website because obviously that's not allowed.  Be patient you silly little children.

Best part, not an engineer or architect so I don't even fully understand what I'm looking at, just know it looks cool and is expensive and stuff.

isn't the whole point of renderings to easily present the general design to people who are not engineers or architects?

I once saw a very mousey white guy get up from drinking alone at the bar, cooly walk up to the mic, lay down the most amazing rendition of "Sex Machine" I've ever heard, put down the mic, and walk back to the bar for a drink.

In the middle of the performance, a black guy got up from his table, draped his jacket over the guy like a cape, and the dude didn't even break character for a second.

The guy never sang again or got up from his chair again all night.  It's on the list of the most bad ass things I've ever seen.

that is a magnificent story panj

I've got to watch my words on here since we have so many celebrities checking this board, hence the call from Nick Wright after the 610 thread. But I will say watching him work his magic for years down in the ville, has it ever worked? I mean ya! He buys these girls drinks, tweets at them non-stop, and hires them on his staff! But have they actually ever allowed him to touch them? That's like thinking Whitlock gets laid cause he was a "local celebrity!"  

something tells me "allowed" isn't in that monster's vocabulary... he needs help

felix rex, do you know the best gang food restaurant in little rock?

i'm not terribly concerned about decor or atmosphere, just looking for some bold flavors for my white girlfriend and her family to enjoy.  we don't get out much and want to try something different.
