I was computer science and I tried to tell all the dorks in my major that they should take as many liberal arts classes as possible because that's where the ladies were.

You only need to learn stick if you buy a car with one. And I'd say since you're into looking to buy a sporty car a manual transmission is a great way to deliver on that. I loved driving stick. Last 10 years was on a 1994 Honda Accord. Never had any trouble with that car. The Accord was fun...

NPH made "doing blow off a stripper's chest" ironic.

My dad hunts and I sample a couple of batches per year of his homemade venison jerky. He likes his stuff very dry and it was actually comical how many peppercorns were stuck to each piece. I am sure that I would like it with half the pepper and a little more moisture, but it's a bittersweet...

I like the fuel economy of the tC over the Mustang. And while I personally don't draw many conclusions from stereotypes, the v6 Mustang is (statistically speaking) a chick car with "nearly 55 percent of V-6 Mustangs being driven by females". Of course if your glass is half full, that same...

I used the same criteria when I chose my gamertag: GlitteryDonkey

The place I stop at is on IH-35 at exit 285 in Salado called Robertson's Choppin' Block. The store also sells a lot of beanie babies and chachkas, but I stay by the meat counter and order up a pound of mesquite jerky (don't like the hickory) and a Dr. Pepper. In fact if you are already on a...

I love beef jerky, but it is definitely one of the most expensive snacks around (followed closely by macadamia nuts). In my experience you get what you pay for. That two pound megapack bargain bag you scored from Costco for $10 cannot hold a candle to the real thing. Hint: if your jerky comes...

I received my repaired-from-rrod 360 from fedex on Wednesday and although it passed network tests and had an IP it wouldn't log in any live accounts. I gave up, but then a new game successfully connected to live to get updates. Props to the fedex guy who wrote his cell number on the "sorry we...

I am in the same boat as the other working grownups, except in our household my wife is the hardcore gamer: loves Morrowind, Oblivion, and other games I have no patience for. This weekend when my 360 rrod'd on me it turned out to be a gaming blessing. I fired up the old xbox for some a few...

Today I dropped off my launch day 360 at UPS to be shipped for RROD repair. Was watching 30 rock xvid on the 360 when I got the three rings and it would never recover. Saturday I dropped off my Rock Band guitar at UPS also to be shipped for repair. On Friday a friend sweet talked nintendo into...

In Texas you may request a driver safety course to dismiss up to 1 ticket every 12 months. The instructions for that are written directly on the ticket; however, you must make the request in time. You will pay court costs plus the cost of the driving safety course (this was $120 + $40 a few...
