Nope. I would swipe those whenever I saw them.

Then the user would have to have me reset their password to a new one.

They eventually discovered that it was better to either memorize their password or keep their post-it note password better hidden, because if they did neither, they went through passwords far more often than 6 weeks.

So....who here has ever gone snowboarding? I'm very curious about it and want to learn what I'll be in for if I decide to give it a shot. From what I've read on THE INTERNET, it looks like a ton of fun.

BizB has gone beyond that and does kite-boarding.

I've always wanted to try snow boarding too. I've never even been skiing.

Josh and I plan to learn how to snowboard this winter

Was it in bold? It was probably true if it was.

I used to snowboard. If you've ever been reasonably competent on a skateboard (read: able to ride a skateboard without falling down, no tricks necessary) snowboarding will come naturally to you.

If being able to get from point A to point B on a skateboard eludes you, snowboarding might as well. It's literally the exact same mode of balance and feel, but faster.

Does anyone else find it both mind-numbingly stupid yet ironic that someone with too much time on their hands decides to come to random forums and post things of great insight like "u r teh L0SERSS!!!" and "GeTarLife!!"?

She was looking for a husband to get her here. I turned her down.

Well, I'll need to nix the snowboarding idea. Skateboards bring pain, so I'm sure snowboarding will also. But that's ok. I've already found a new hobby for me. Actually, my boss found it for me. I'll be training with him not only at work in the gym, but aslo with him at his dojo or whatever it's called where they teach you martial arts.

Actually, snowboarding doesn't require all that kicking. I can snowboard but I'm less than competent at skateboarding.

And now, time for another edition of "Professor Xolik Explains it All."

Queen Bee - A slang term used in the Gay community for a wealthy woman who surrounds herself with young homosexual men. The Queen Bee is not to be confused for the Fag Hag.

Fag Hag being any woman who surrounds herself with gay men, not wealthy?

No, a Fag Hag is any woman who finds herself perpetually attracted to gay men.

Demosthenes · « **Reply #1039 on:** August 21, 2006, 04:45:53 PM »

Yes, and often hangs around them even knowing full well she hasn't got a chance.

Scheherazade · « **Reply #1040 on:** August 21, 2006, 04:56:29 PM »

I went through a phase like that...wasn't pretty in the end, I can tell you.

Fag hags are just lesbians who are afraid to admit it to themselves.

Exactly. These poor girls suffer from the "Curse of the Pink Wand" which make them constantly attracted to gay guys, telling themselves "Oh, he just hasn't met the right girl (me) yet." Eventually the Curse ends when she finally realized she hasn't got a chance in hell, and they remain goods friends.

A similar term can be applied to straight men who hang around lesbians. "Fag Stag", I believe it is. Though I've also heard the term "Dyke Tyke".

Does anybody know the etymology of the use of "fag / faggot" in reference to gay men?

I was working a show once with a producer from the U.K. Wanting to step out and smoke a cigarette, says to me and another cat, "Let's pop out and pinch a fag roight quick." We knew immediately what he meant, but ...AHAHA!!!! The other guy there says, "You go pinching any fags around here, you'll probably get your ass beat!"

Home Depot shoppers charged in cart fracas

By JAMES P. QUARANTA

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

VINELAND -- A dispute over a pushcart escalated into a bloody battle when two men engaged in a "sword fight" using two-by-fours inside Home Depot, police said.

One of the combatants required hospital treatment after the fight, which broke out around 10:30 a.m. Sunday at the Cumberland Mall store.

Larry Bostic, 52, of West Park Avenue received eight stitches in his chin, police said. One of his teeth was knocked out and another tooth was cracked.

Police arrested Bostic and Wei Sun, 45, of Upper Darby, Pa., on assault charges.

Bostic told police he asked a Home Depot employee for a pushcart so that he could load some two-by-fours. The employee told him to take a cart that contained some wallboard because it had been in an aisle for a while, according to police.

As Bostic began to load his lumber, however, Sun appeared and demanded the cart back, police said. Witnesses said both men then swung their fists at each other but missed.

Then each grabbed a two-by-four and began a sword fight, police said. It ended when Sun threw his wooden board at Bostic, hitting him in the chin, witnesses told police.

Sun explained that he threw the two-by-four at Bostic because the Vineland man had struck him in the face with his fist and yelled an obscenity after Sun demanded the cart, police said.

Both suspects were released on summonses pending court action.

My favourite part is that it happened at 10:30 am on a Sunday.

Fundies will have a field day with this. "If they'd have been in Church, this would never have happened!!"

^^^ I have no idea where you got that from.

I seriously LOVE new student day. International students ahoy! /drool

Too bad I'm kept locked up in my office and can't enjoy the scenery.
