Grace isn't part of my real name. It's a play off one of my old nicknames.

This might be messed up to say, but when I read a synopsis of Japanese movies, I always get so lost with all of the names and never remember who ones person is from sentence to sentence.
- jmatchett383


I think most of us do that, which is why I skim right over names and focus on other details. I figure I'll be able to sort characters on sight and don't really need to know their names.

Great zoo in DC. Great aquarium in Baltimore. I like animals
- PhillySportsGuy

The Philly Zoo ain't exactly something to scoff at.

I'm treating the gf there on Thursday as a reward date for passing Gross
Anatomy!

EDIT: Saw the brief food discussion- Philly poops on anything imo food-wise except NYC, mainly because of its sheer size

Put a large fence around the ghetto, air drop 2500 hand guns.
Provide scarce food and health provisions.
Re-enter is 6 months.

- jmatchett383

Let's see, that's 2500 guns in addition to the thousands already there; scarce heath provisions, OK that's the current state; scarce food? You might be on to something there. Six months later you might the same people but thinner maybe healthier. Hope you weren't suggesting that they'd just kill each other.

DC is alright. I've been there a bunch of times. They have a lot of museums, but I've never loved my time there. I loved being in Boston, Toronto, Montreal and Quebec. Never liked NYC because its so crowded. I love Philly because I lived there my whole life.
- PhillySportsGuy


My Wife went to school in DC so I spent a lot of time there. The mesuems are nice, but its when you get into the areas just outside the City like Silver Spring or Bethesda that you run into what makes you want to stay.

Am I the only one who thinks that populating the new Atlantic Division with zero members of the previous Atlantic, AND having nothing to do with the Atlantic Ocean is kind of stupid?

And can someone explain to me why the East now has 16 teams to the Wests 14 and both divisions get 8 playoff spots?

But you're forgetting one thing: no outsiders allowed in and no one inside allowed out. That way, the crime against outsiders is committed against the inmates, and now armed with more killing devices, the death toll will skyrocket.

A savings attributed to your team based on your current cap and the salary cap ceiling gained when a player is injured for an extended period???

- PhillySportsGuy

Millersville is actually a pretty good school. She want to be a teacher?

(frank)in amish. Such a safety hazard on the roads, holier than thou attitude, their horses poop on the roads, the buggie wheels put rivets in the roads....and they don't pay taxes because it's "against their religion".

My grandmother lives in Silver Spring. Bathesda is very nice. It is also pretty expensive to live there.

No, that's the general consenus.

Also, the divisons have to be unevenly weighted because 30 isn't divisible by 4 to get a whole number. You can blame Winnipeg for this mess.

D'oh. No Japanese/Asian movies for you!

But if you like fight movies, The Raid: Redemption is worth watching. Just brutal martial arts.

Originally yes, but she transferred after switching her major to interior design. I remember she had to take classes on the Amish.

Millersville has one bar on campus. The nightlife was literally which frat party to attend. Transportation was also a nightmare. Had to take a bus to a trolley to a train just to get back to Philly.

Baltimore aquarium is expensive but very nice. They have a great dolphin show. It's also located in the only nice part of baltimore. Shopping and some decent restaurants right in the area.

Dont get me wrong Philly has a great food scene, but it pales in comparison to DC and the metro area. Like I said, DC is one of those places that really has authentic ethnic food. Peruvian, Ethopian, Moroccan, Lebanese, etc.etc.etc. Remember a lot of politicians, foreign dignitaries, and Embassies.

Welcome to life in Lancaster County.

We call Lancaster a "city" here. I don't. But people do.

Guess what folks- you can't drive through the heart of a city in 6 minutes.
