Also I'm pretty lazy. Sometimes I won't even go the bar to pick up a 'bar slut', I just wait until after last call - cross the street and go for - what I'm calling 'a sidewalk slut'... which are the bar sluts that don't get picked up before the bar shuts down.

HAHAHAHAHA! Margary Tyrell is a good pick. 3somewith her and her grandmother maybe? I'd take the Mother of Dragons anyday. Not the actress herself, but her body double that used to get naked for us back in the early seasons.

Hypothetically if I could pick one GoT character to seduce, it would be Brienne of Tarth. Not the best looking lady in court but it would probably be quite an experience...

Hey, they are looking for one night stands. I am looking for one night stands. No hurt feelings anywhere. I do it only once every couple of months when I don't have a GF because not getting laid for months at a time will drive a man insane. And pretending to love a woman just to sleep with her and then dump her is super poopty IMO.

lol, with no makeup and strategic clothing, etc. She's a 7. Made to look like a 9 or 10. What we see is a 9 or 10, but she doesn't have a particularly beautiful face if you really think about.

And no the -4. I usually score 5's or 6's that make themselves look like 8's on club night with poop tons of makeup and clothing that put their parts where they are supposed to be.

My scaling is weird. A 5 or less would be a truly ugly woman who is way out of shape. Almost every real women scores between 6 and 9. I don't have a way to distinguish 1,2,3,4,5.

Way too rational of a response

I was picking a fight, but i got nothing now.

Either way, I think t swift is a bombshell. But to each his own I guess

1. Jeans: Go to Moore's or any proper Mens clothing store and get some quality jeans(they call them designer jeans so they can charge a lot, but they actually are high quality.).

2. That Jimmy Fallon thing was awesome.

3. Final Fantasy 2 if you can get it. I had it on SNES as a kid. I think I bought it on my Wii (I mostly use that for old school games like Ice Hockey, Blades of Steel, all the old Marios) but I haven't plugged it in since I moved to Ottawa 1.5 years ago. I think I'm gonna do that today. Thanks for the idea.

Have a good one and before you buy your pants ask the salesman how they will affect your plus/minus stat.

- Njuice


Haha thanks man. I asked the sales lady if they'd affect my Corsi and she said advanced stats are for loser then proceeded to sell me two pairs of jeans for $205 dollars. FF2 rules btw.

Josi had 61 points
Ellis had 32 points

Pretty substantial difference

So the statistics that prove he's better are the cherry picked ones correct?

- sbroads24


No but Ellis plays better defense and allows less shots against, which I think makes up for the difference in points. Plus Josi is your go to #1 PP QB, so the difference wouldn't be so pronounced because I am sure if given that role, Ellis would rock quite a few more points.

Order your jeans online. Go right to the makers website

more selection, no annoying sales people, reasonable price

No instant gratfication, and you may even need to send them back to figure out your perfect fit. But let's be honest here, jeans are the cornerstone of any dudes wardrobe. You don't have to be a hipster to know you don't wanna wear the same brutal jeans your dad wears. Amirite?!

Rvca
Matix

Can't go wrong with either of those two brands



Finally, the thing is, it is sports. And therefore stats don't always tell the whole story. Unlike the methods that you named where it does.
In my personal opinion, there is no stat that's gonna prove me to me jake gardiner can hold pietrangelos jock until I see gardiner dominate hockey games on a fairly regular basis.
Just my opinion though

More smiths please..

I ended up saying to myself 'Jim, you haven't bought new Jeans in five years, so go for it' I found a sales lady who was helpful and seemed to know what I was going for and I ended up with two pairs of 'Buffalos' which I am not sure whether that's a good brand, but GD, they are made out of like maternity denim - they're basically jogging pants that look like jeans.

I hear your point on Gardiner, fair enough.

Also, went a little loco actually, figuring since I hate the damned mall I might as well get six months worth of supplies while there, so I went a little crazy:

Picked up a new Flash comic, Deadpool, Richard Tracy and Commando on DVD, some CDS - Talking Heads, Wilco and New Order, + some $300 Prescription sunglasses.

And it was all FREE.........at least until the Master Card bill comes in the mail, my wife sees it and we get a divorce!!!

Plus, I'm sorry, can we talk about how good of a song "Bad Blood" is?
I mean, Jesus, OK, I thought Swift was like bubblegum pop for duds, and my daughter has the CD and I was just blown away by that song. We are talking 3 #1 hits worth of hooks in a single song. It almost reminds me of the last songs on Abbey Road in the way that the Beatles were being so cocky just wasting 8 amazing songs by turning them into a series of 30second medleys.

I am dead serious here too: Bad Blood is a song Lennon/McCartney would be proud to have written. I am going to find out if she wrote it or if there's like ten writers in a Beyonce-style production, because, seriously, that is a pop song writing masterpiece. I may have to become a fan.

Josi scored more per 60 than Ellis.

And doesn't the better player get the better PP minutes?

Yeah but scoring isn't everything, Ellis is a more balanced player. And the better offensive player gets more PP time, and Josi is definitely that.

So she co-wrote it with Max Martin and some other gurus of the pop world, but damn still impressive. + while googling it I just learned there's a version with Kendrik Lamar? Come on! that is amazing.

I'm still baffled about the all the praise the Leafs' regime gets when all they've done so far is finish last overall. What will everyone be saying in 5 years when they're the Oilers 2.0?

If Babcock is such a genius and all the players they traded were chumps, shouldn't they be beating at least a few teams?

You mention Swift in the same sentence as the Beatles which is in itself a tremendous sacrilege let alone actually comparing any of her material to one of THE quintessentially brilliant albums of all time - I suggest you go to your room until you want to be a part of this family

I'm certainly guilty of getting "hooked" by the occasional bubblegum pop.
But I'm probably not adept enough at really identifying those with masterful writing skills and those without.

Beyond the obvious legends like morrissey, Van Morrison, Paul Simon, prince etc etc of course

One of my favorite books of all time is the Tommyknockers by Stephen King. I have never understood why people consider this one of King's worst books. It is delightful.


book was good, but like many of his horror books converted to film, the movie sucked.............i think most people never actually read the books, just base it off the movie.

Rolling stone has her as one of the top 100 songwriters of all time...

Not to say a magazine is some sort of definitive source of right or wrong, but I think there's something to be said about it anyway.
She's written gobs of hits and has to be considered pretty close to a master of her craft. Whether you like her genre of music or not

That said, they got Paul and John at 2-3 respectively, and Taylor at 97. But still..

I remember watching salems lot after reading the book and it ruined it for me

Even if the production value was brutal and outdated by the time I watched it, still no excuse.

Great book- worst flick ever [/img]
