I'm not a sneaker head but I really like shoes. Here's some pics of some of my all-time faves: What I'm wearing right now: What I used to wear back in the day:

Martin and Incognito - What are your thoughts?
I never imagined bullying in the NFL, much less a death threat among lineman on the same team. I'm blown away that this is happening, but I'm even more blown away that Martin doesn't seem to be getting any kind of support from his own locker room. Then you have players that say that the right thing to do would've been to…

Buying and cooking the right beef
Pork is easy. It's the magical animal from which all bacon comes and all cuts of pork are awesome. Chicken is even easier. There's only dark or white meat. Beef is... a mystery to me. I don't usually cook red meat, but when I do, it's a simple sirloin, NY Strip or T-bone on a grill. Nothing fancy. We eat a lot more pork…

Your personal ghost story/experience.
Share your own personal ghost story. Here's mine: I was staying over at my aunt's house and I got up in the middle of the night to get a drink of water. It was in the middle of the night and I could hear crying coming from down the hall. Not knowing what it was, I knocked on the door and heard my aunt scream. When I burst…

Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 2
Great episode last night. - Dead Patrick's midnight snacking was priceless. - Poor little piggies. I thought they would've given made it tougher for the walkers to catch up with them. - Chain link fences not cutting it... well... sorta...

Why is this even remotely controversial?
So, some fit mom with three kids posted a picture and the words "What's your excuse?" to inspire people. And for whatever reason, there's been heap loads of hate regarding the image. Some have even gone so far as calling her a bully or self-righteous. Here's the image and a link to the article:…

Bowflex/BioForce Squats and Deadlifts
I recently got a BioForce and I love the machine. The resistance is smooth. It's good stuff. It was between that machine or a Bowflex. I could've gone either way. Here's my issue: I've been trying to use the machine for deadlifts and squats. Here's what I've noticed: - Squats are weird. It takes a lot of awkward movements…

What advice have you gotten from your doctor?
The first time I went to the doctor's and asked for help for my weight (about 5 years ago), I got some generic easy to follow tips for weight loss. I wrote this down but never looked at it again until last night. - Exercise should last about 20 minutes. - Exercising 3x a week will bring you to a healthy weight and maintain…

Flat Feet and Hyprocure surgery
Recreated the thread in new place. I've got collapsed arches. Basically, my feet couldn't be any flatter. There might have been something that doctors or physical therapists could've done when I was younger, but now there's nothing else I can do about it except to wear orthotics in my shoes while taking pain killers in the…

Eggs: How many and how do you like them?
Now that eggs are no longer the evil culprit of artery clogging badness, how many eggs do you eat per day? And how do you like your eggs? I tend to have one or two per day. I'm worried that scientific researchers will change their minds again. I've probably wasted/thrown out hundreds of egg yolks in my life time. Now I eat…

Sounds like you've got first world problems
We all have difficult mornings and sometimes lose perspective on how much we have to be thankful for. So I'm starting this thread as a parking lot for petty first world problems. Park it here and move on with your day. Here's mine: Panera lady got my order wrong. I asked for veggie cream cheese and got plain.

Diablo 3 on console
I've heard that they're having some gameplay issues on Diablo 3 console. More or less, the console version will probably translate into something with the feel of the arcade classic Gauntlet Legends. Even though I already have Diablo 3 on PC, I'm kinda interested in this because I'm hoping it has a completely different…

What exercises do you avoid? Why?
I tend to avoid squats and dead lifts because I was in a car accident years ago and it really aggravated my injuries. I was still in physical therapy at the time. I'm thinking about incorporating it again but with much lower weights. Any tips would be handy. Thanks in advance.

Casual Day Traders
I've been putting things into mutual funds in a 401k for years but I can't cash out of those until I retire. I used to have an account with eTrade. I cashed it out to buy our current home. I've recently started to dabbling with the idea of investing again. I'm still contributing to a 401k. I just want to dabble around with…
