  1. NPR had a fascinating segment on Hill the other day. For example, Hill loved to rob trucks. His favorite type of truck to rob was a truck filled with razors. Why? Because they were easy to unload, hard to track, they fetch a huge price in a small package, and he could make a fortune selling to a discount store. That is why Hill was a wise guy oops- here is the segment http://www.npr.org/2012/06/15/155093267/for-wiseguy-henry-hill-mobster-days-were-over
  2. Not to hijack this thread-but I understand what you are saying. Grass fed cows are not very utilitarian to feed the mass's. And some studies state that cows cause 31% of global warming(18% methane, 13% transportation, pesticides, etc) and contribute more to global warming then all cars, planes, trains combined. It's on my conscious - just as Coltan on my cell phone is. But people need to eat. And the cows are treated much better then factory farming. Not to mention we need the small farmers. So yes indeed, power to the small farmer!
  3. That sucks JBoyst. Good for you for grass fed beef. God bless the small farmer. Power to the farmers! And good luck to you!
  4. horrible comedian IMO. That guy annoys the **** out of me
  5. I listen to everything pretty much except country and pop. But Wilco is one of my favorites and I dig Woody Guthrie- so that is pretty close to country
  6. Bills-Niners Superbowl. Me and Berman are calling it!
  7. Mitch Hedberg, Bill Hicks, George Carlin, and Richard Pryor
  8. helluva volleyball player too
  9. "Shaq greatest athlete all time" LMAO
  10. And if you are really stressed out- smoke a doobie and lighten the !@#$ up!
  11. this is an old picture of part of my cd collection
  12. Don't sweat the small stuff. And most things we stress about are pure minutia. I manage stress well, but sometimes traffic and !@#$ drivers get to me. When that happens I take a deep breath(very calming), then do some slow yoga exhale/inhales, and remind me how insignificant whatever is causing me stress. I never have a problem with morale. Life is how you think, and I always try and think positive can do. And if I ever feel down for a millisecond, I consider a child dying in the hospital. Then I realize how truly lucky and blessed I am. And how cruel life can be for others. No matter what afflicts me, I know someone is suffering worse. Perspective is always helpful
  13. my policy is also to live walking distance to a great bar. Well I moved last year and there is an ok bar about 3/4 mile away(walking distance to me) but its on a busy street with no sidewalks. So now I mostly drink with my neighbors
  14. I try to never date anyone from work. Work is work,and I never want a girl to bring drama to me at work. But key word is try- I have my moments of weakness and have tagged plenty of girls I work with. Perks of the restaurant business
  15. we used to play a game with baseball cards. There would be a line you stood behind, and we would toss cards across the floor. If any card landed on another, you got to keep that card. Well I got pretty good at that game, and ended up with most every kid in the neighborhood's card collection. Baseball, Hockey, Basketball, Football, Charlies Angels, Star Wars, Battleship Gallactica, etc. Last year I moved, and didn't realize how immense the collection was until the move. And in the summer of 1990- I made a bet with my buddy(dolphins fan) that the Bills would win AFC and Superbowl. He gave something like 15-1 odds against AFC, and 30-1 for Superbowl- so I put a $100 on each. Long story short he ended up owing me well over $1000. He is a great friend(I was his best man)so I settled for a couple hundred and his baseball card collection
  16. I agree Run Lola Run is great! I also loved the French films Tell No One and Amelie What was the reference? I stopped watching the Simpson in 1991
  17. Love it! Very classy!
  18. Nice. I also have a massive card collection and CD/LP collection. I also collect shot glass's, matchbooks, first edition books, bumper stickers, and I like to grab souvenirs from my travels.
  19. How is Potter at actually kicking? Any chance he takes Lindell's job? How long a FG can he kick?
  20. Siafu ants have been known to devour people
  21. Barton Fink is the greatest film no one knows
  22. Allentown cheese steaks are far superior to Philly's cheeze whiz steaks IMO. Not even close
  23. NFW no !@#$ing way
