    Butter on grilled sandwiches, horseradish or mustard on cold ones.

    You haven't seen [Title]!?

    I avoid most of the recent comedies. With the exception Blades of Glory, I refuse to watch anything with Will Ferrell. I have no interest in Superbad, the hangover or paul blart. As far as supposedly good movies, I haven't seen a full godfather movie. I alway catch just a part of one.

    Why do you help people in the fora?

    This. I really wish that I could help much, much more than I do on here to contribute back as much as I've gotten out of the fora. Ars has been a major part of keeping me sane despite what life has thrown my way. Sadly, when I should be able to contribute, people want information on some part...

    Are you in the career that you dreamed of as a child?

    Originally I wanted to be a farmer. Then it changed to fireman. Those were the first two, I think preschool and first grade respectively. Middle school was "I'll end up pissing off the wrong person and be killed by 21" which isn't really a career and high school was some kind of scientist. I...

    Your fears confirmed: "up to" broadband speeds are bogus

    I guess that I am an odd duck. I'm on Time Warner and I get double what I'm paying for down, but only half of what I'm paying for up. So great for streaming movies(read: procrastinating), not so good when you're trying to upload a project 5 minutes before the deadline.

    What a craptastic week.

    I'm not a fan of this month at all. Historically its been stressful since its the last before school started up. This year is no exception since I bit off more than I could chew on a project and might have to pull off a hell week with less sleep than the SEALS hell week. My mom is going for...

    Who still owns a printer?

    I do. It was a handmedown from my grandma. I've been lugging the stupid thing around through 5 years of college and I used it for the first time in June. The only reason I had to use it was because I had to print out the paperwork to get computer and printer access. For my masters, I had...

    How many eggs do you eat a day, and how?

    Yep, "this is your brain. This is your brain on drugs" egg frying commercial. I guess I was just at the right age to understand that something was bad, but not be able to grasp that the frying egg was a metaphor. I was an odd child. Every once in a while when I'm drunk, I get the urge to sue...

    What's the best gravy?

    A family friend is from China and his first year living in the states, he had some holiday dinner involving turkey. Not being familiar with gravy, he asked my dad what to use it on and my dad told him just about everything. So he put it on his salad. His reaction was hilarious, but the moral...

    What's the best gravy?

    I never had sausage gravy until the beginning of this year when a buddy made it. OMG, it is the mecca of gravy as far as I care. Actually, if any of you have a kick-ass sausage gravy recipe, I'm interested.

    How many eggs do you eat a day, and how?

    None. The only eggs I eat are stuff in bread and the like. I was traumatized by the anti-drug commercials as a kid. I know its completely mental, but I start gagging even if the smell is strong. I'm completely fine with it, although being served eggs is the primary fear when meeting the...

    Thursday Questions: Proxy Edition

    1. I'd tell whoever offered the job to lay off the crack. I don't like working, hence being a grad student. Assuming I had to take the job, I'd be straightforward with my boss, because he's awesome. 2. No sequals destroying my childhood! 3. His Pope-ness. I'd screw with the faithful...

    Calling Ars Military folk: Need some advice

    ++ I really wish I took advantage of the options to get undergrad paid for and becoming an officer. I heard about the Navy's incentives to get people for their nuclear engineering program my last quarter and my jaw dropped. ROTC isn't a bad gig despite how much fun I made of them. I know the...

    POLL: Do women feel obliged to cheer other women who chop their hair off?

    I love it when a woman I know gets a buzz cut. It gives me a reason to rub their head like they rub mine after I shave it. Its like payback, but somewhat enjoyable for both parties.

    I got 150 emails at work today

    I get maybe 10 emails a week at my school/work email address and I have one meeting each week that hasn't lasted longer than 15 minutes. :D

    Why the LeBron James Hate?

    Thanks for the correction. Thats what I get for being to lazy to wiki the right city. My point still stands, Philly offer 75 million over 5 years, then we offered 60 mil for the same 5 years, then Philly went to 85 mil in 6 years. With the trades cleveland made at that time, I would have...

    The NEW new "post your random thoughts/stories here" thread.

    I really hate that my best work is done when I'm shaking like Michael J Fox due to stress.

    Why the LeBron James Hate?

    I'm from Cleveland and I can't blame him for leaving. Cleveland is not a good place to be a professional sports player. Look at how great of an asset Brady Quinn turned out to be. We lowballed Jim Thome into going to Baltimore. Personally, I see Cleveland sports as a halfway point between...
