So you're saying you wouldn't be the least bit weirded out  if yu suddenly woke up with a femstache?

You're saying this as though it's hypothetical. Why is that?

Double boo to that as it's also Monday.  Ehh, at least we got to talk about a disorder I know a lot about in my Psychopathology and Personality Disorders class today.  Also, isn't Heroes on tonight?

Heroes IS on tonight...but I must go to work. I think I might just try and request the rest of the year off just to see what would happen.

You're supposed to be able to watch Heroes online at nbc.com, but every time I've tried, there's a javascript error and nothing plays.

I downloaded a poker software yesterday (gotta test what I advertise on my site!). When I created my acount, I was invited to join a new player "freeroll" which is a tournament that doesn't cost anything to join while giving the opportunity to win real money. There were a total of 1045 people playing. Last time I checked my status, there were 20 out of the 1045 left and I was ranked number 3, which is pretty darn good.

*toots own horn*

At that stage, I decided I needed to move to the number 1 position and went head to head against the person with the most chips at the table (they had more than me). I got called on a stone cold bluff and finished 14th! lol

Had I been a little more patient, I could have won some money since the top 10 players were getting something. It was fun though.

Good story Judge.  What site was it and do they let Americans play?

I hear there's no way to track if we play online or not, but I don't really know if that's true or false.    And I don't really know what the penalties are if I get caught doing that dirty deed.

Mine isn't even honest enough to give an error message, it just doesn't do anything. And to top it off my friend tells me that there is some killer Hiro time-travellage, which makes me hate my job even more.

Permanent address says so, but I'm up in NY for school.  FINALLY, someone else who recognizes that Central Jersey exists.  For any skeptics, imagine folding NJ in half, top to bottom; I'd live in the crease, aka Central Jersey...we do exist!


It's ok, I just had some excellent soup and found my chocolate stash.  Also, there's a Project Runway marathon on or something, and I've got Firefly on standby.

Sure!  W00T

favourite PR moments:

Kayne and Robert bitching about everyone over lunch
Tim saying, "Andre" during season 2
Laura telling anyone off, especially Jeffery because he doesn't care
Tim refusing turtle poop from one of Laura's spawn

I'm a real season 2 devotee...Santino should have won!!

And Santino's jokes about Tim & Andre...LMAO.

Is that guy with all the tattoos disqualified? I can't tell...

I'm not sure...they're definitely playing with us by having him say how scared he is about possibly not showing his collection, AND the way Tim responded to Laura's concerns regarding Jeffrey possibly not having done all his work on his own leads me to believe that the producers already knew what was going on before the other designers started talking.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Awww, I miss Santino.  I guess the closest we have to him would be some bizarre mix of Jeffrey and Kayne.  Kayne for the colors, Jeffrey for the set style and the crap that comes out of his mouth/attitude.

Santino should have won, seriously. But even if you didn't like him, Chloe shouldn't have won. She was too bland. Ecch. I hate her.

I love Santino. So sexy. I HATE THE WAY HEIDI TREATED HIM!!!

EDIT: My post makes more sense with the following quote...
Good story Judge.  What site was it and do they let Americans play?

It's the one that has a full review on my forum.  :wink:

They do accept American players. From what I can understand, the recent legislation that was passed prevents financial institutions from cashing cheques issued from gambling sites. Since most people use third party software like net teller, it's not really an issue.
