Well, well, well looks like America finally entering the 21st century
Damn Olympic Drug Tests
I swear, they should enter "Drug Testing" as an olympic event, cause thats all they seem to care about. The "precision" of it. Actually what pisses me off is the fact that they stripped the Romanian 16 year old Raducan of her gold medal cause she took cold medicine. Ok, tell me if this doesn't sound right, they say that they know she's "innocent" but they have to take it away from her. Damnit, its cold medicine, i doubt one dose of cold medicine to just make her feel NORMAL from her sickness, enhanced her performance any. Even when the bronze medal filtered down to the chinese, she basically said she didn't deserve this because she didn't believe any drug could help perform like that for the gymnastics, saying that it was based on strength of mind and focus. PISSES ME OFF. I HATE THE IOC, BUNCH OF CORRUPT OLD PUNKS. __________________ :0)__________________ ok, they shouldn't've just let her keep her gold medal. If she could perform that well while jacked up on Nyquil, they should give her a freaking gold mine for that performance and skill while doped. I'm also still pissed about taking away the snowboarder's medal the other year for having tiny traces of weed, but that is slightly more understandable. I just have to stand up for the boarder because that is my sport of choice, and I gotta back-up my fellow competition boarders...although he could beat me down into the ground...ProMinx __________________ I agree with you that they shouldn't have taken her all around gold medal away . . . it's sad . . . but ALSO . . . it's not simply the fact that she took cold medicine . . . if it were that simple, it wouldn't be an issue. The problem is that the Romanian doctor who was banned from the Olympics gave her cold medicine with Ephedrine in it (which IS a banned Olympic substance) . . . of course . . . she wasn't guilty of KNOWINGLY taking it . . . which is why they only took away ONE medal . . . but still . . . I agree . . . it's crappy. (Of course, for those who lost, you have to wonder whether they would have won if she had not had the ephedrine in her system)__________________ Butch, your response belies your supreme crapulence. What the hell are you talking about? I took a Contact the other day, and was passed out in about 15 minutes. If she can take TWO cold pills and flip and tumble around like she's on fire, more power to her. The ephedrine probably hindered her, considering few of the women's gymnastics events are strength-dependant. More like they're predicated upon precise muscle memory and mental concentration. If she can control her muscles WITH ephedrine and also concentrate with two different cold medicines, she's even better than what we saw.And didn't Ross Regbeliatti (a Canadian hero) get his medal back? I think he got off with the "it was contact high" defense... He's still a folk hero up at Whistler... __________________ they should make an olymipcs where you have to take all kinds of drugs, it'd be mroe interesting and every world record would be broken  Mavi forum |
case blowhole
has anyone here added a blowhole on to their cases? I am considering adding one to my case myself, but I was just wondering how hard it is. Any opinions? Thanks __________________ it's pretty easy, just get a hole saw, maybe a drill press...Mavi forum |
Stainless Steel mug vs. Coke
I remember we had a little discussion about how useful Coke is at, among other things, stripping metal. With the proliferation of these free stainless steel cups, do you think it's safe to drink soda out of them? __________________ Most of the mugs, if not all, should be galvanized so they won't corrode under light acid solutions. Tomato juice as well as lemon juice are as bad as coke, so I think it should be OK unless you start scratching the inside. Then you're screwed. It's like taking off the teflon on a pan.__________________ What IS up with taking the teflon off the pan? My parents wig out every time they see a scratch on my frying pan. Someone, please tell me ... what are the detrimental effects?  __________________ mmm, jujubeesI never realized myself there's a problem with scratches on a pan. __________________ If cookware chips or peels because of improper use and the non-stick finish is accidentally eaten, is it toxic?No, DuPont non-stick finishes are inert and non-toxic.

What an incredibly spoiled brat I must have been!
This talk about He-Man (OK, specifically my talk) got me to thinking: I know I had a lot of He-Man action figures, but I wonder how many I actually had... __________________ I had the Gremlin characters, and a whole bunch of Garbage pail stickers!! All gone, I also miss my Skeletor!! and my She-Ra__________________ I'm sitting on a ton of Star Wars, GI Joe and He Man figures and vehicles stuck in an attic in the middle of Indiana . . . I don't even know what I have anymore, but I know it's a bunch. I think I might still have the Castle Greyskull . . . (Although, my mom DID sell off my Millennium Falcon and I think one of those AT-AT suckers) . . . Maybe I need to have all that crap shipped back to NYC and think about selling some of it.__________________ Quote:
__________________ hey.. what's wrong with Indiana??!! I used to lived there too.. oh.. wait.. I remember why I moved from there, cuz I was freakin' bored out of my mind!!!!Well, I never had cool toys like the Star Wars action figures or the He-Man or GI-Joe... But I did have some of the GoBots (if anyone else remembers those Transformer wannabes) and the entire collection of Smurfs actions figures... =P __________________ PENNY - I never lived in Indiana . . . my mom shipped that stuff to my aunt who lives out there. Sorry, but no dirt for you! . . . hehe__________________ All I know is that Moss Man smelled like ass!!  __________________ Quote:
__________________ I wonder how they came up with the name "He-Man". They must have rejected "She-Man" or "He-Girl" before they came up with "He-Man". When he was a kid did they call him "He-Boy"?. I bet "She-Woman" came up in the brainstorming meetings before "She-ra".__________________ Holy Toledo! I have over 300 posts!!! When did that happen?Mavi forum |

Things that make you go hmmm....
Anyone remember transformers? That one bad guy that turns into a gun? Well he was the same size as the other robots in robot form but he could be held by other robots when he was a gun. Hmmm.... __________________ MEGATRONremember how the A-team would always be locked up in a place with a blowtorch? __________________ or how the A-Team would go shoot the sh !t out of everything but no one would ever get hurt[same with G.I.Joe; never saw so many cobra troopers parachuting out of exploding helicopters]__________________ Here's one that I've never been able to figure out:Why in the world did Skeletor and Megatron continually entrust these really devious plans' execution to Starscream and Beastman respectively? Were they just extremely horrible judges of talent? Further, did they never figure out that, "hey, both these guys are total buffoons, and apparently are incapable of doing anything right." I mean, really, you'd think most evil empires rise to power as a result of a meritocracy...how in hell did StarScream and Beastman rise above the other, more qualified villians? They weren't even the most powerful guys, but nope, those two were always asked to do the really difficult things...as a kid, I would just tear my hair out watching these guys. I would think, "Man, you really need to take some management classes, Megatron/Skeletor...your COO's are totally useless." __________________ Pennypinch- "...as a kid, I would just tear my hair out watching these guys. I would think, "Man, you really need to take some management classes, Megatron/Skeletor...your COO's are totally useless."wow, you must have been a pretty smart kid to have been thinking about management classes. eehhehe... that's make me go hmmm.... I wonder if you're some kind of child prodigy in the field of management.. =P __________________ what about all the times the "good guy" never took the "bad guy's" gun after he knocked him out, and the bad guy allways woke up and used it to shoot at the good guy again?hummmm __________________ Quote:
...but I wouldn't gnow where to start ;0) __________________ "Scott, you just don't get it do you?"Watch Austin Powers II and perhaps the complexities and truths of the evil empire world will open themselves to you. I, Dr. Evil, and Reverend Evil teach regular classes on villian hierarchy. __________________ I remember some bruce lee movie...enter the dragon I think? Well anyways, the bad guy unloads a gun on bruce lee, then he runs out of bullets. I never figured out why he threw the gun at bruce lee after that. Hmm...bad directing!__________________ Bionic man -- If only one leg was bionic, why didn't other drag on ground and get worn (or torn off)? Batman (old one) and any 007 -- why does villian explain whole plan BEFORE the kill and allow time to escape? Any character with super hearing -- How do they turn it off? Wonder Woman -- How can she be invisible, but only when in her plane? And the bigger question - How does she keep that costume up  Mavi forum |

Aww, crap, Tivo rebate is a pain...
Was going to get my father one of the Tivo's on sale at Mercata ($260-$100 rebate). But, the fine print on the rebate says I have to have the service activated by the 30th of the month (fat chance, considering it'll get delivered way after) and you must have the service activated during the rebate processing. |
