take your hands out of your pockets!

it kills me that im at work and the kate upton thread is getting a ton of replies

why is my avatar still banned? Ridiculous that "free Viper" was too risque. Changed it and it is still banned. Thanks Mods! Great system we have here.

They're re-paving the garage in my building so we have to park on the streets. I'm having memento-caliber short term memory problems when it comes to remembering where I parked every time I need my car now. That can't be a good sign.

So much for medical "professionals" and food safety.

What’s For Dinner: The Shine family and the separation between mainstream and food safety geeks

Real meals in real homes, from the Toronto Star (that’s in Canada).
Featuring a real doctor; a 54-year-old anesthesiologist who works in the sterile confines of a hospital where he’s also the operating room medical director.
Dr. Kevin Shine planned to show me how an “obligate carnivore” and his diabetic vegetarian wife get along on the food front.
He may or may not have realized that the most unusual thing about mealtime in his Oakville home is how involved the family’s cats Angel, Katanya, Sasha and Sam are.
The feline foursome eats on the spacious granite island in the kitchen. Their food bowls and automatic water dispenser are kept there so Rusty and Tino, two Cavalier King Charles spaniels, don’t get “a constant feast.”
The cats freely roam the countertop, even as Kevin’s wife Cheryl chops veggies for her spaghetti sauce on one end and lays out buns and salad fixings on the other.
A curious Katanya gives one crusty Italian roll a thoughtful lick.
“I’ll eat that one,” says Kevin with a shrug, explaining how this adored cat needed unusual jaw surgery to survive. “Katanya thinks she’s a person. She sits with us. She eats with us.”
The Shines don’t usually eat in the dining room, but they decide to do that tonight. They warn that the cats may sit on the table and sample the meal.
Their oldest daughter Elyse, 26, is at veterinary school in Edinburgh. The younger two live at home. Rebecca, 23, is a research coordinator at York University and hopes to do graduate studies in psychology. Connie, 20, is studying culinary nutrition at George Brown College.
An anesthesiologist, a vet student, a chef student and a possible shrink, and they’ve never heard of zoonoses.
“We are most entertaining and live in a very modest house full of cats and dogs as well so be warned!”
The modest home features a 16-foot dining table and seats 22 people.

Notice anything funny about this maple leaf?

why would I need to pm somebody? If the imagine is banned, then why wouldn't a new image work? Why would there be a ban just on my avatar, no matter what it is. Why was it even banned in the first place?

What is it about alcohol that causes me to wake up with breath that smells like someone who is a lifelong smoker ate garbage all night and then vomited down my throat

The gum disease known as Gingivitis?

something about sugar and vinegar, I think.
