  1. The first 320 shoppers will be broken up into 16 groups of 20, with each group receiving a different colored wristband. Then, when called by color, each group will get 15 minutes to shop the collection before open-to-the-public madness ensues.

    ...

    There for the men's collection? You're in luck. No bracelets are required for men near the front of the line

    I'd love to challenge this on gender discrimination laws just to fuck with everyone (depending on the state it could work. not sure about NY.)

  2. i had a dream that my dad died and i made a long and drawnout post on sufu and all you guys could do was correct my grammar.

    "I had a dream my dad died so I made a long and drawn out post; all you guys did was correct my grammar."

    I eliminated mention of Superfuture (SuFu) because it is assumed, and confirmed by "you guys," the post occurs here on SuFu. The word "and" after "died" is changed to "so" to emphasize the cause and effect relationship. The word "could" is changed to "did." The word "could" is confusing. It implies your dream has limited the imaginary SuFu to grammar correction rather than the truth: the imaginary SuFu is callous to your suffering and wishes to show this by correcting your grammar. The semicolon maintains the essential flow of your thought while simultaneously making it "digestible" to the reader. A semicolon provides a break between two sentences but implies the two share a closer relationship than sentences separated with a regular period (your mom).

  3. terrible advice

    Yeah spaces. Once you ignore years of time together, biology, and psychology, your feelings will just... go away. In fact, given the logic presented, you should actually just stop looking for that ideal girl because your chances are LITERALLY ONE IN SEVEN BILLION you will ever find your match. With those facts it makes more sense to just die alone.

  4. All of this would be so much more righteous if he wasn't just pissed off someone called him fat.

    Speaking of, I took my roommate's leftover bibimbop that had been sitting out for two days, threw it in a frying pan with two eggs, and topped it with mozzarella. Results are mixed.

  5. A pretty aggravating episode. Considering how far they've deviated from the comics and (from the preview) will continue to deviate, it seems like it would've been smarter for the creators to be more forthright about how different they'll be.

    Possible Spoilers

    Good

    -The acting continues to be pretty decent.

    -When I paid attention, Rick's accent was much better.

    Bad

    -Yet another shitty caricature of a bad guy. Terrific.

    -Why advertise the episode as an action-packed rescue when it actually takes about 45 seconds of the episode? It only accentuated how long and drawn out everything about this episode felt. Something about the pacing or direction feels off. Maybe it's because the zombies are pretty slow moving, but there's no sense of real danger to me. So when the zombie shows up near camp it just seems like "hey, there's a zombie" rather than huge sign they need to be wary.

    -Norman Reedus' southern accent is worse than his Irish accent.

    I feel like I need to take a minute and re-watch the last two episodes without thinking of the comics at all. It felt like nothing was accomplished this episode but c'mon - Rick was reunited with his family, Shane was shittily put out by Lori then beat someone half to death, and the one racist guy went delusional and sawed his arm off (where'd he go, anyways?).

    +J (thinking about shortening sleeves by about 1inch...)

    Christ. Ok.

    1. Button your fucking blazer. At all times except sitting or doing something physical, your blazer is buttoned.

    2. Wear long sleeve button down that fits well. If the cuff is really wide and makes the sleeve droop down your hand, have the tailor move the button the cuff so it stays higher.

    3. Have him tailor the sleeves so that .25"-.5" of sleeve is showing when your hand is casually hanging at your sides.

    4. Under no circumstances should you EVER wear your collar outside of your blazer.

  7. Holy shit, I have no idea what Williamsburg is about, but after that atrocious description on the back of that carton, I never want to step foot in there ever.

    I have thought about moving there. But I have also heard it is "played out."

    Also, are you Haploid or perhaps his brother?

  8. i'm the only person i think that is somewhat disappointed with the series so far

    I'm still baffled by people who don't think the first episode was good (if not great). It displayed the horrors of an apocalyptic mass murder and zombies in moving manner. Andrew Lincoln (Rick) does an amazing job actually acting - his expressions, movements, and overall gait throughout the hospital scenes were perfect. The way they reimagined Morgan's character and Lennie James' acting were both superb.

    2nd episode was considerably weaker. Really unexpected, really weird overall plot. Part of the problem is that I've read the whole series multiple times so I'm pretty set on what the comic plot is. However, the 2nd ep was pretty universally liked less than the 1st. Having the crazy, uncontrollable redneck there without context was really stupid.

    I read a good point: all they had to do was explain that he was a militia man or survivalist with a knack for guns and such. That's it. Instead he's just there for no reason but to be Instigator #1. Such a terrible introduction to the main concept of the comic: people are usually more dangerous than the dead.

    rick has a weird accent cause he is english, though in the 2nd episode it is not as noticeable

    It's less noticeable because he gives up the ghost and just turns to a basic American accent.

    And for the person that asked: the makeup for the half-zombie by the bike took 3.5 hours. Video of the application sped up to 3.5 minutes or so.

  9. The secret for perfect pb&j is to put peanut butter on both slices of bread, and jelly on top of the peanut butter on one slice

    True of anything with less viscosity and more absorbency than peanut butter. Peanut butter keeps the other stuff from soaking into the bread. You royally fuck up a peanut butter and honey sammich if you don't. The principle is the same for all condiments. That's why I usually dip my hamburger into ketchup if possible.*

    *Please note, not necessary for fast food buns as they do not absorb condiments.

  10. Lord, the pictures of the stuff actually being worn makes it look like garbage in fit and quality. Wouldn't mind grabbing the blue or bronze metallic derbies. No reason to kill yourself over this stuff.

  11. how the fuck does Photobucket find and delete pics they think are questionable?
    There was actually an article posted on gizmodo a few weeks back about how facebook hires people to sift through every image and delete those they deem questionable.....I'm guessing they have similar staff over at photobucket?

    Reporting by other users, algorithms, and finally there's some human scanning. I think it was the NY Times that had an article about this stuff. A few of the major companies have contracts that only allow a person to do the job for a year and there's free psychological counseling if they want it since they see so much fucked up stuff.
