  1. well today just started basically but yesterday:

    hi: watching star wars episode 2 on a 100" projector screen with bose surround sound at my friends house...it truely matches a movie theatre experience, if not tops it.

    hi: picking up a girl outside a bar

    lo: later finding out shes 8 years older than me

    lo: 2 hours of sleep

    hi: mcdonalds breakfast

    I'm tempted to neg rep you for considering McDonald's breakfast a high and the fact that you bagged an older broad a low.

    Getchamindright.

  2. I agree with JMatsu's take on England. He seems like he could hold a conversation about the strength of the British pound and the movement toward Scottish independence and how excellent Fistfull of Dollars is at the same time, all while drinking firewater on horseback and shooting cans with a Colt 1911.

    FAM0US seems like the kind of fellow who would scream, 'This is Spaaartaaa!' in a crowded bar then get backslaps from his Asian frat bros, all while Cascada's 'Everytime We Touch' is blaring in the background.

    Carl would be the kid that Facebook / MySpace friends you immediately after you met him for the first time.

    Cotton Duck's post about knives reminded me of Vasily from Enemy at the Gates, as a youth shooting wolves in the Russian wilderness.

  3. Right, so it may directly refer to the war in this instance, but in any case it is pretty much a universal saying/parable so I see no offense here.

    If you're dad was in the war and he handed this down to you, you wouldn't use it because you would feel like a jackass?

    Yes, in this particular case, it's weird. If you like the phrase because it symbolizes your struggles with bad breath, get it printed on your tooth brush.

    And no, I wouldn't use it. I'd obviously treasure it, display it on my desk nex to my grandfather's NYPD shield, but like I said, I'd just feel quasy using a military heirloom for such mundane tasks as lighting cigarettes or the grill.

    It just reminds me of the latest trend in rap of rappers wearing iced out dog tags.

    But it was never my intention to start a debate over the merits of using military gear in civilian life.

    Those Porche lighters are gorgeous, though I'm sure they're quite expensive.

    And with a name like Crillz, I think you'd be more accepting of the Bic lighter as it's the prefered method of fiends in my neighborhood for firing up said crillz.

  4. Uhhh yeah. Something about the 'Vietnam Phu Rieng 65-66' tells me that the lighter does not refer to disease or getting molested by your uncle. Not to mention that quote is credited to a Marine. But if you want to take the quote and put it on a picture of a cat hanging on a branch to give you hope on a rough day down the office, then more power to ya'.

    The difference between a German antique like a Hitler Youth Brigade knife is that a lighter has a specific use. A Nazi knife is only a decoration, unless the owner of said knife is Hando from Romper Stomper or one of the Vineyard Bros. It just seems weird and slightly disrespectful to be lighting Parliament Lights down the bar while listening to Mark Ronson with a zippo that went through the Vietnam war, especially with that particular message.

    But that's just me.
