Agreed, bourbon is wonderfulness liquified. Bourbon almost made me write "personified". I highly recommend Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond (white label). It's quite good.

Well, 8% will get the OP tipsy/maybe drunk, most likely, depending on the rate of consumption. Alcohol affects everyone differently, etc, etc, platitudes. As for the artificial sweetener ... unfortunately they don't have to list the ingredients, so they don't. I would assume it's aspartame or sucralose. Neither of which I,…

Bolthouse is my go-to store-bought smoothie; their list of ingredients and nutrients are ... OK. The smoothie that I make for myself has 27 grams of sugar but it also yields about 21 oz of smoothie as opposed to 15.3 oz of Bolthouse (their smallest bottle) which has about 42 grams of sugar. Looking at their web site the…

Noooo, it's kinda funny.

Clackamas itself isn't too bad, so long as you're well within the area. I used to live off Woodstock/62nd (so kinda close-ish to 82nd) and it wasn't bad at all. In fact, crime in Portland is pretty much still non-crime. Depending on the part of Clackamas she's talking about, it may not be that bad at all; especially if…

There's actually an exercise input for "Walking, carrying infant or 15-lb load"; as for the accuracy of this listing, who knows, but it may be a good idea to input your info for it. When I listed 60 minutes for this entry, it said "274 calories burned". Just a thought! :)

Ahhh, I see what you're doing.

The thing about kids is that, typically, they'll believe whatever you tell them. Coupling that with the fact that, with smoothies, if you put the right things in (ie, bananas, which will mask the flavor of _anything_ else you add) they'll have no idea what else is in there. Trust me, just throw in some carrots and broccoli…

I very much have to agree with these comments; though in any of the jobs I've ever held, whether it be at a college, newspaper or call center, I've never seen a thin person considered more for advancement over an obese person. I've been passed over for positions for which I was vastly more qualified in favor of an obese…

It seems they're more commonly called "brain crushers" or "skull crushers". Here's a youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTfhYeYXcy8 Looks like a good exercise, though, thanks for the suggestion. My arms are OK, but tris could always use some work.

Honestly, don't take the responses to this thread to mean "Oh, just swap it out for diet soda". OK, if folks want to drink diet soda, fine. It can totally work for you. However, it's still got sodium and other stuff to it which will cause you to retain water weight, etc. In fact there have been studies (to which I claim…

Soooo ... this means I can eat more? I would say sign me up, but I worry someone might take it at face value.

Some photos: A shot from a short storyboard I recently completed:

Yo, davpul, I think you might have chauvinism down. Though I'm not really sure you'll get it. Sorry, bro.

I used to be a socialist ... till Obama got re-elected, then I learned my lesson.

Either more than 10,000 or less than 20. Nothing in between. Anything in between is socialism.

I don't even know what the hell that's supposed to mean. Are you just getting off by being unhelpful? I mean, 16k posts in two years, maybe, huh? e; not that I'm any better, I've got 738 posts of just being an unhelpful jerk, so whatever.

This a million times over. I'll posit right now that it was not actually meant to be that way—since they're conflicting ideas—and it was easier to say that than "Oh **** I accidentally phrased it wrong in the title. Whoops." Even though that's not hard to say. It happens. Too bad you can't edit thread titles. But then I'd…

Oh my god what in the hell is wrong with some of you people. All right, just to clear it up right now: It was a stupid conversation between some guys who were being stupid guys. We're guys! We'll say stupid **** when we're around one another and we probably won't really concern ourselves too much with what anyone else…

Frequently. Too frequently. I drink most days of the week. I'll sometimes not intend to and then somehow there's beer at the house or a bottle of liquor and I think "Hey, sure, why not." I actually make it out to the bar two or three times a week, usually; sometimes more, sometimes less. And when I'm out I'll usually limit…

Oh hell yeah. Because unfortunately it works.

This is referred to as "negging," it's like when you're trying to hit on a girl and say something nice to show that you're a good person, but instead you say something mean so that she becomes "dependent" and "desires" your approval. See: You should try negging him, too, although he's not going to be smart enough to get it.

Eep, a little over 2.5 years. I hope no one thinks I'm trying to fool them :'(

I agree with this statement. And I also agree with this sentiment. I have some severe anxiety issues on occasion and, incidentally, gyms are one of those places that do that to me if for no other reason than I feel out of place. If you don't feel right there then that's not necessarily a problem so long as you can make…

Gosh, I never expected to see women acting so catty toward one another on the Internet.

I'm assuming Subway counts, so a week or so. If that doesn't count—as it's just good food fast, not fast food, right?—then I don't even know. I hate fast food. If I want something quick I opt for frozen food over FF. Taco Bell ... hurts. And ... yeah.

No problem! I'm glad that you were able to discern the more poignant and subtle theses of my comment :)

Matt Smith looks like a less decomposed and patchy Frankenstein.

Hmmm, which one is the creeper emoticon? Is it this one? :smokin:
