  1. Here's the skinny: Little sister is getting hitched, and she asked me if I could come up with something special for the wedding photos. Classic car, exotic car, she gave me quite a bit of creative license.

     

    In Vegas, you can rent pretty much whatever you can think of. (giggity)

     

    In Columbus... exactly what the hell am I supposed to do?:yuno:

     

    Anyone know if MAG or the Toy Barn et al does anything like this?

     

    Anyone here have a turn-key classic that they'd part with for a day? It really just needs to look pretty, start up, and drive around the block once.

  2. It can also be the difference between detecting a different hue between two colors, so we would see it as one color, but the more sensitive would be able to distinguish it from others that all appear the same to us.

     

    I was reading an article a couple months ago where they are investigating how some women have a 4th cone, they developed a test to see if they could in fact see a different hue, and they found one women who could do it 100% of the time. IIRC, the genetics of it are it has to be the daughter of a color blind man, or something like that.

     

    edit: found the article http://www.discovermagazine.com/2012/jul-aug/06-humans-with-super-human-vision#.UWVeJKKmhpk

     

    /non-lol

    I lol'd: Women are genetically equipped to be more judgmental.

     

    PS; the cones may be receptive to other wavelengths of light, perhaps they can see IR and Xrays. They are predators of teh sea, being able to detect bio-luminescence in daylight could be handy, too.

  4. LOL WHO WRITES LETTERS ANYMORE AMIRITE?!?

     

    ***BRRRRRIIIINGGG***

     

    Hello? Yes he's here...I'll go get him...

     

    ANONYMOUS!!! It's 1987 on the line for you!

     

    The guy who wrote that was Wolfgang Becker, the movie was Goodbye Lenin... 'cept, Dad escaped East Germany to the West, but mom chickened out and kept the kids in the East.

     

  5. I used to work somewhere that didn't offer direct deposit and I had to take the checks into the bank every week to deposit. One time I waited for the gf to come home and we both drove down the road together, got to the parking lot, and I smiled as I leaned over in the seat and pushed out a nice little parting fart before getting out of the car. She got mad and rolled down the window as I was walking into the bank.

     

    I filled out a deposit slip and stood in line, when a pretty hot girl got behind me. I glanced back and smiled a few times. It was my turn so I walked up but dropped my slip so I had to bend over and pick it up. Whoopsie! I deposited my money and walked out, checking out that girl again on my way. Her face was red for some reason as she covered her mouth. I thought to myself, huh that girl's weird.

     

    On my short walk back to the car my gf was dying of laughter. I opened my car door and asked wtf did I miss? She pointed to a lil pile of wet poopie I left on my seat. My jeans were ruined.

     

    A loofa would clean that right up.....

  6. I have one taking up space in my garage that a former roommate abandoned. Find a solution for attaching it to a dodge neon and I'll bring it down to you when I'm there in a couple weeks. Or come get it. No fucks given.

     

    Deal. I'll end up being up here again before Xmas, possibly as early as next weekend. I'm on my way south now.... I should have posted sooner.

  7. It's just so predictable. He's cool and funny in the beginning showing off little gadgets, enter the bad guy with an ace up his sleeve, iron man gets fucked up then gets up and beats him along with a witty catch phrase that'll be plastered all over every single large soda across the world. Yay!

     

    I was hoping to IMDB it and find a director known for throwing curve balls, so that I would have hope that something significant would play out in this flick....

    Lethal Weapon

    Lethal Weapon 2

    Last action hero

    MONSTER SQUAD!

     

    Ok, that's not promising, but it should at least be fun to watch.
