Good actor. Kind of makes you think that if someone in that kind of shape having a heart attack, what kind of chance do you have?

In general.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, he had untreated high blood pressure, which is both something that would be checked on and he would have been informed of it.

Which itself is suprising, because wasn't he over a year into treatment for cancer? I imagine a thorough physical would have been involved there.

This was a long time ago. Like 20 years ago or more. I was a little kid when this happened.

Also, I'm going to be off the grid until Monday evening. I'm going to be heading up to Eugene this afternoon and won't be back until Monday. So excited! I'm getting my hair dyed blonde for the play today too.

Ahh, metal.

My wife has been warning my daughter, who recently moved back in, to be careful and not let her 3.5 pound chihuahua run around unsupervised in the backyard because hawks have been spotted in the area. My daughter's response has been "Yeah, O.K. mom," which translates as: "Hawks. Right."

That's a picture my daughter took with her cellphone. Now she keeps Pinky on a very long leash even when in the backyard.

I'm rooting for the hawk, too. But then, I don't like chihuahuas, or most other breeds of "yap" dog.

When did they change it so typing :) no longer displays ??

To my knowledge, :) has never displayed

You've been using Facebook too much.

Your mom's what! Oh, snap.

Anyway, my computer is acting up. Was playing WoW earlier when suddenly it started minimizing the game window every couple of seconds. Then I got a complete system lockup and had to reboot, which lead to a black screen and the hard drive going bonkers over something. Black screen stayed for about two minutes and then it loaded Windows up normally.

I think I'm disabling addons for now.

Can't remember that :) ever automatically turned into here. Tried to look it up, but couldn't find anything that would confirm your suspicion, and then I got sidetracked because I came across my old 10k ding post back in '05 or whenever it was.

Googling your username and "Zam" can lead to some awkward walks down memory lane. Like people writing random posts about you that you, for some reason, never saw. Also came across a very, very awkward thread full of people who don't post here anymore. And it's amazing how my written English has improved since then.

Can't believe I've been posting here for almost nine years.

Wow I've been coming to Allah for about 9 years as well. I started on the FFXI board... Hot damn.

Also, I has premium again.

HAHA UR OLD MAZ

I'm not sure if I'm 27 or 28. I think I'm 27.

I lost count after 20.

I'm still convinced you called in a favor and got the DoD to up your post count.

Because that makes sense. Yeah.

If I'd kept up my PPD from back when I was still active in the OOT, I'd still be #2, you spammer you!

Completely unrelated, but don't you hate it when you end up in a PUG with some douche bag who smugly criticizes everyone else and downplays his own abilities? I'm wearing this as my tanking gear (ElitistJerks and Icy-Veins both said that agility was still the main priority, so I gemmed for agility and reforged for mastery and dodge, since they have equal values), but before a boss fight, having had some issues soloing a trash pull, because everyone else just jumped down (I could have jumped down as well, but then the trash would have trained other packs and we would have wiped), this Mage dude tells me to get some tanking gear before I queue up to tank heroics (regular heroics, I might add).

I'm like... WHAT THE @#%^, MAN?! I took 750k damage total across all the bosses, most of which were spell caster bosses I couldn't dodge. I even took less damage than you on the first boss and you're a @#%^ing squishy! I point out that I'm wearing pretty good gear, for someone who hasn't been in the game the last six months (and is a casual guildless player). His retort was then "So you're saying you can't tank?" and I was like WHAT THE @#%^, MAN?! Do I know you? Did I hurt your feelings somehow? What the @#%^ is up with the hostility? I was like "I bet this guy is one of those epeen douche bags" so I waited for the boss fight where the boss gets a damage debuff. Surely enough, the Mage, wearing heroic DS gear, pushes out 80k on a the debuffed boss (good for him) and the other people in the group all swoon and drool and he's like "Meh, didn't crit much."

Motherfu-- I just wanted to beat him to a bloody pulp right then and there, but I couldn't. Video game and stuff. If there's one thing more annoying than "Your gear sucks " douche bags, it's "Your gear sucks and I suppose I did okay back there. Now, please swoon. " douche bags. So much anger!

This is going to be a great Monday, I can just tell.

Edit: Great Monday indeed.

So, the reason why I was doing a PUG at godawful early in the morning was because I woke up early. I had the weirdest dream and then I woke up and realized that I had overslept, which startled me - and then I woke up again and it was 4 in the morning. Dream within a dream, holy sh*t. Anyway, unable to go back to sleep, I got up, took a shower and played some WoW, which is when I ran into the aforementioned douche bag.

Now, they're working on the building, so I knew they had to cut the water supply at 8 AM, so at 7:45 I go to shave, do my hair and, you know, use the toilet. That's when I realize they cut the water early. Great, only two miles and 30 minutes of fast walking to the next bathroom.

As I arrive in the cafeteria at my college, having first used their bathroom to do what was very much needed, I'm told by the guy in the cafeteria that classes have been canceled due to a meeting. I'm like "Wait, what?" and he's like "Well, they put a poster up last Friday about it" and I'm like "Wait, I don't have classes Friday, so I wasn't here" and the cafeteria guy is like "Oh snap!" Severely demoralized, I drink my coffee that I paid for and walk back home.

Deciding to do some grocery shopping now that I'm out of the house anyway, I go and buy food for the rest of the week, including a lot of frozen stuff. Arriving back home, I find that I can't possibly fit all the frozen stuff in my freezer.

And it's only 10 AM. Worst Monday since ever.

I always laugh at people like that. "For all your ass-hattery, you do realize there isn't any actual tanking leather gear, right? The last piece of pure tanking gear for druids was a 3-piece set of blue crafted gear in TBC. And the accessory tanking slots have strength, which makes them all strictly worse than agility pieces. Past a certain threshold, more stamina doesn't help, while extra agility gives avoidance and crit, and crits generate extra rage. Rage gives more SD up-time and Frenzied Regen usage. So thanks for showing everyone here you don't know the difference between your ass and a hole in the ground."

Makes more sense than my being here only to keep track of certain individuals.

I bought a laser pointer for my cat, assuming hilarity would ensue.


My otherwise mostly stupid cat figured it out in all of about 15 seconds....





Edit: I want to be Batman

Scotland? Is it Andrew?

Also, grats!

One for you beer experts. We have a 2 trees at home which are full of lemons & limes. I've had the old Corona with the slice of lemon in the neck before - is there a better beer that would go well with lemon or lime?

We make use of our grapefruit, orange and mandarin trees and it would be nice not to be throwing so many lemons and limes out. Then i'll just have to find someone who wants the kumquats to make some marmelade!

Have you guys checked out xkcd's What if section? It has some pretty interesting stuff there.

Rum, mint, crushed ice and whatever else is in a Mojito.

I'm not a fan of adding anything to my beers really, beer can have so many different tastes already that adding more flavours to a good beer hurts more than helps.

Just finished rowing practice, and they worked the sh*t out of my legs.

I have three flights of stairs back to my apartment.
