Every time I go out and do something social, I just get reminded on how much I really dislike society as a whole. What the hell is wrong with people these days? So damn selfish. This country is going straight to the hotseat.

So I have to find a place to get my hair done the day of my wedding.  I'm already behind on this.  I live in a somewhat urban area.  So uh...when I call these places, like, how do I ask...you know, if they do, uh...like....uh....

white people hair?

There's a couple of places up the street from me.  House of Roz?  International Hair Salon?  I'm feeling like those places specialize in weaves and hair extensions, but I don't know how to ask it.

On the other hand, I just made an appointment at an upscale salon further up the street, but it's going to cost me $100...twice!!  It's over my budget.  Frickin hair.

I always told my wives, "I don't know why you'd want to spend all that money on your hair.  I'm just going to smear cake in it later any way."

Yesterday I got my Atari adapter in from Ebay. This is a great little device that will convert an Atari 2600\5200\7800 or Commodore 64 audio\video output to a standard coax connection. I fired up my 5200 on a new 37 inch LCD and it came up beautifully! Then my only joystick promptly broke.  :? But at least I had a glorious ten minutes of Pitfall II - The Lost Caverns!

I'm turning into such a retro-gaming geek, it's not even funny.

It's funny you say that... I was just discussing with some coworkers how great games like "Combat" and "Rodeo" were for the 2600.   8-)

I'm confused.  Why not just start calling salons and asking them if they do wedding hair?

Simple enough, I know.  I just have this crazy fear of walking into a place and feeling like I just don't belong there.  You know the scene in the movie where someone walks into a bar (or wherever) and the place falls silent and everyone stares at the 'outsider'.  When I see ads like this...

MICRO BRAIDS $90.00
SINGLES $90.00
KINKY TWIST $90.00
BASIC CORNROWS $30-40.00

...I get paranoid that I might find myself in that situation no matter where I go.

Irrational?  Absolutely.

Just advertise on Craig's List.  *not serious just in case you were thinking of doing this*

But have you checked Citysearch or Yelp for reviews?

I propose that not allowing an opponent's king (or any remaining pieces) to move but not having him in check is a perfectly reasonable checkmate and not a draw!

Impossible! :slap

The whole point of check mate is that you will win in your next turn.

Because one of the basic rules of chess is that you can't pass your turn and another is that you can't move into check, The game therefore comes to a stand still and must be called a draw.

To be honest I just started playing and was getting angry until I finally figured out why I kept getting into draws.
