  1. When you Google "Charlie Sheen is", the top 4 suggestions from Google are: "Charlie Sheen is too damn high" "Charlie Sheen is dead" "Charlie Sheen is my hero" "Charlie Sheen is a loser"
  2. In the insurance world, when any emergency vehicle gets into an accident with their lights/sirens on, it is nearly inpossible to put ANY fault on them. They have to show "gross negligence". Try proving that when they have they sirens and lights on.
  3. Just got confirmation that my $60 in gift cards were shipped today, roughly 14 hours after I won them. People are morons. You buy 100 bids for $60, you go in with no strategy and blow them all in 10 minutes. Idiots are what make this site great though, as you can literally watch a person spend all $60 worth of bids in 5 minutes. You wait for them to leave and then bid. For $.60 a bid. To potentially win a decent item, and maybe something much nicer. The gambler in me likes it. The consumer in me loves it.
  4. Do you use bid-o-matic at all? seems like a waste...
  5. I just joined tonight. The best part about this site is the people who think it's a "scam". Those are the folks who make it fairly easy to win. Read about the site first! After that, realize the money is made in the non-iPad, non-macbook items. I paid $60 to join (well, to get your first 100 bids). So far, I won $50 gift card to JCPenny and $10 Gift card to Target and paid $6 shipping for all three. Best part is, each came with 15 extra bids "worth" $9. So, technically, I'm up a few bucks and have more bids. I have now tried 6 times to explain it to my girlfriend who graduated cum laude from U of A, and she doesn't get it, so don't just dive in. But once you realize that a $34.91 bid on an ipad means 3,491 bids have been placed, but $.01 on a $25 gift card means only one other schlep is sitting there looking at it you're good. I was at first annoyed that you can only win 3 items in a day and 8 in a month, but I get why, and now I actually appreciate it.
  6. Key word: alleged.
  7. I'm just trying to think of what Walmart sells that I want for free.
  8. Isn't that a bit much?
  9. I'm confused why lacking voice recognition is a downfall for you guys. I'm not arguing, just maybe need some clarification. Isn't voice recognition a fairly "old" technology? I mean, I remember Dragon Naturally Speaking was pretty accurate 5+ years ago. And that program cost $99 or so. I have an iphone app that can dictate what I say that costs $.99 this year. It's "fairly" accurate. I would think for a couple grand (and I'm guessing IBM spent hundreds of thousands if not millions on this project) they could get a dynamite voice recognition system. Since all players have to wait to buzz in until Alex is done reading, is this really an issue? Maybe someone can correct me here.
  10. The score is $5000, $5000, $2000 currently (computer tied at $5000). Its going to take 3 shows to complete the game as there's background info they show. What amazed me is how it "knows" what the clue is even looking for. Sure, there are key words, but it could be SO MANY possibilities if you just look at the words. Anyway, take a look.
  11. This was one of the coolest half hours of TV I've seen in a long, long time. The computer, Watson, is not connected to the internet. He gets the clues via text document sent to him. To see a minor explanation of how he deciphers the words, and figures out WHAT is being asked for, was pretty incredible. If you can HULU tonight's episode, or if you're on the west coast and it hasn't come on yet, I'd highly recommend it. One part shows the "progression" of Watson, in a practice session where a clue was asking for a "non dairy creamer" and watson said "Milk" Then they showed how he could take a question similar and really "figure out" what the clue was getting at. Cool, and terrifying all at once.
  12. I'm drinking a pint of Arrogant Bastard. I should have known a beer named after me would be just fantastic.
  13. 6'6 245. Want to lose 15 pounds. Like great food more than I care about losing that 15 pounds, so !@#$ it.
  14. I've always wondered why the word "coed" refers to females at a school. The word coed means, if I'm not mistaken, something containing (or an institution serving, or a sport involving, etc) both men and women. Why is it that the women are the "coeds". I'm not worried about it, I'm not making a political/gender related point, I'm just curious. Carry on.
  15. I must be a giant p---y, cause after watching that video, I think that mother should be locked up.
  16. I'm honestly SHOCKED it took this long. Blatant copyright infringement. They almost celebrated it. Here we go... Yeah, it's TERRIBLE of the government to crack down on those who openly steal intellectual property. Land of the Free? I hear flights to Egypt are real cheap if you're so upset.
  17. wanted nothing more than to stop the 'nightmare' but he continued because he had been given a job to finish bull ****. This guy is worthless.

  19. I'm writing up the lawsuit for $1 gazillion against him for starring in the movie Get Him to the Greek. Is the bad grammar from a direct quote of hers?
  20. I knew my Egyptian girlfriend wasn't just ignoring me
  21. 20 years ago today, Marv Levy got completed dominated as an NFL head coach.
  22. I watched every game, and honest to God don't see how he's higher than an F. What the hell did he do? Seriously? Then I read your reply and CAN see how he was graded higher than F. Data, it gets me every time. OK, C+ is fair
