A week in Scottsdale again this year to watch the boys in orange and black...who else is doing Cactus League?

I personally go for 45-50 g minimum, as any lower tends to show noticeable negative effects on my nails and hair. For me, that's almost exactly 0.3 (0.3030303...) of my body weight in pounds and 0.4 of my LBM, so that guideline is spot-on for my body chemistry. Not that I want to derail this thread, but this right here is…

Damn...I got all crazy excited about Ninja Rap...and then I was denied. :/ (*slinksofftowatchTurtlesII*)

Ha...I was going to say brick scheißhäuserl, but actually, I think this covers it much better. Going to go with this.

So...I'm a linguist (yes, they actually pay people to do that). And this is exactly what I was thinking about on my run last weekend: ETA: Thanks, Mirey!

Oh my goodness...can't look away... This may be the most amazing thing ever. Especially in the salmon blazer and white slacks.

Thug Kitchen. I'm neither vegetarian nor vegan, but I still cook a fcukton of their recipes.

Agreed. That takes nothing away from the man's appeal. I LOVE almost all of the Marvel movies (maybe not the first Captain America), but I'm not watching them because I think they're great representations of classic mythology...and I'm not drooling over T.H. because I think he nailed the the accurate persona based on the…

a) My Sunday is now complete thanks to this picture. b) OP: bless your little cotton socks and all that is attached for starting this thread.

Looks to me like horoscopes based on "psychology" rather than star signs. I cannot say that the assessment I got from this test (got to take it for a college class and just took it again to see if the results were consistent) reflects my reality and/or my approach to anything in life (in fact, since you specifically asked…

Well, why not impregnate someone? Most of the people I know with small children seem to spend a lot of their time running around...probably an even better way to get exercise than a dog!

Not as active as I used to be (foot injury, plus I started actually doing more stuff), but people are welcome to add: https://www.strava.com/athletes/tbonethemighty

"I work in geriatrics and long term care. Totally the opposite end of the adrenalin spectrum. :smile:" Perhaps, but bless you for being that guy. Both of my parents work in that field -- it certainly has its own unique challenges! Then again, coming from my oh-so-first-world-problems as a college instructor, all of you on…

Thanks, guys! I'm not a Star Trek fan, so I missed most of the Borg-ness, but I do like the idea of "The Thong Initiative"...might almost be reason enough to go to law school to have it declared thusly. (Hm...if I ever start a band or something similiarly ridiculous, that might be its new name...)

Guess what...that feeling isn't going away. I had it at 16, 22 and still have it at almost 31. Wanna know a universal secret? Lots of us have that same feeling. If you're like me, chances are you're not really going to get over it. Learn to ignore that little voice and, to quote Henry Rollins, scream, dance, and burn all…

Well...I like to think that I'm already a superhero... If I put that disclaimer aside: definitely want to be Nightcrawler. Given my super-polite German snarkiness/smartassery, don't know if Thor and I would ever be besties, but I like to think we'd have a healthy respect for each other.

The woods on the coast outside Kemer, Turkey. The mountaintops above Bergen, Norway. The plains/scrubland in Ndutu, Tanzania. (I like the wilderness.) Citywise, Bergen, Liège (Belgium), and Istanbul get my votes.

Looking like one of those D.A.R.E./M.A.D.D./etc. stickers: "Partnership for an idiot-free America." Was the only sticker I ever put on my car...

I'm in Germany and do a massive Thanksgiving every year...you can get almost everything at a normal European supermarket if you're willing to make it from scratch. As you're going to be at work, I'd say go for easy staples: turkey (hell, you can do turkey sandwiches if you want) stuffing veggies of some sort (everyone's…
-
Trying to outrun the demons on my shoulders...or at least to make it so I can't hear them as long as the wind is whistling by outside and I can concentrate on the birds twittering warnings and the rustling in the undergrowth...running's the best way to reset my brain and give it a break. "And to that I say: Who cares!…

You are travelling = do it, drink the latte (and, if this is me, eat the chocolate croissant/bakery ham sandwich/pretzels/whatever you feel like), log it, move on. I travel a lot...I try not to go crazy in airports/train stations during possible layovers, but I don't sweat it if I do. I don't go for candy bars and try to…
-
Weeeeelll...my go-to karaoke has always been Sir Mix-a-Lot's "Baby Got Back"... but at the moment, I'm definitely gonna have to go with "Drunk Last Night". Eli Young Band. Been on my mind for a few weeks now...
-
This for the win. Also: people who tuck a t-shirt into their pants. Yes, it's an odd issue, but it bugs me to the point where I make any of my students with the tuck untuck it before I will start class. (Good thing that a] I work at the university level and b] my students have a sense of humor; otherwise I'd probably have…

^^this is the happiest explanation. The other (less fun, but mechanically based) explanation is that most digital scales work with electronic strain gauges, which change their resistance based on their deformation (i.e., you stand on it and bend it --> electric signal is sent and then the scale says how much mass was…

a) potted sheep's meat. Like spam, but with sheep. (homemade from the farm, if you're curious) b) canned peas and carrots. c) all of the above on one pizza. My former roommate came up with weird ways to use up food that she was otherwise unsure of how to get rid of.

Where is this magical rubric for body types? Pear, Apple, Hourglass...I'm pretty sure that the most accurate description of my body type would be "brick sh**house", yet somehow that never seems to be an option, even after inputting all of my data...I consider this oversight a personal affront, by the way. ETA: and I'm 5'7"…

peanut/peanut butter granola bars balisto bars (it always cracks me up that otherwise rational German adults try to convince me that this is NOT candy bar...it is a healthy fiber supplement. right, guys...) nuts in 20g containers (in the fridge at work: Baby Bel cheese) I usually try not to eat much of it, so it'll last a…

Had a very similar experience to samdavis...I used to have serious knee and lower back issues and couldn't run for more than about 15 minutes without limping for 2 days afterwards (translation: I did not run). The problems are gone since I started running with Vibrams. I love mine and have worn out 2 pairs so far. They do…
-
You take pictures of every building that was built before 1750 (of which there are a lot)...and ignore the fact that people live in them. You ask, "Isn't there a castle anywhere nearby?" a lot. (There're, like, 5.) You cannot tell the difference between the Marktplatz and the Domplatz (or it never occurs to you that there…

bump for later
