So I finally just pushed the slacker bit too far, and, barring a miracle, it's gonna cost me about 5,000 in wasted tuition, maybe more.

I am a fucking idiot.

Trade you my car for your class, NBA trade

Plays the Game the Right Way / YNWA!

That's me.

For those willing to read an interesting piece on what makes an American (from a British perspective, and with multiple South Park mentions), read this Stephen Fry piece. It's long, but a quick read once you get past the beginning introduction. He discusses his theory explaining why Americans like self-help books. He says that the American motto should be "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade," and how this can be viewed as both a compliment and indictment. And he talks about how our childlike credulity affects our popular culture and fads.

My car passed safety but failed emissions. Not sure how to react

It's so refreshing to see superstars in the NHL get contracts that are 7/$35MM

That would be an insult to 90% of the players in all the other leagues

I just can't believe that Pronger is a big deal still. I thought he was in his prime back when I followed hockey. In like 1999. And he's supposed to go seven more years.

I guess I should stop taking Allegra. Just found a website with people listing all the symptoms I have (none of which are stated on the bottle) and am considering stopping use of it.

Congestion, runny nose, itchy eyes, etc...?

No. Heart beating way too fast, waking up in the middle of the night sweating, anxiety, fear, etc.

Tomorrow at 12:34:56 AM or PM wil be an oddity with the date of 7/08/09.

Just got home from Six Flags. I can't remember the last time my body ached this badly from headache to knees. 3 tylenol pm then passing out.

My old mechanic had a suggestion for that, but I'm not sure it would work in PA. In Delaware, you drive up to the DMV and they do your inspection there. If you fail once, you get to drive up the next day to a different building to try the emissions test again. What he suggested was to get there before they opened, in order to be the first in line, and stick a wad of steel wool in your tailpipe. The idea is that the steel wool would act as sort of another catalytic converter, and if you were first in line, your car wouldn't be running long enough to blow the steel wool out of your tailpipe. It's just a matter of having the steel wool far enough in there that it wouldn't be detected. Then as soon as you drive away and get your car up to full speed, the steel wool falls out and you're back to pollutin' as much as you want.

I never tried it, because the car we talked about doing that with was pretty well shot anyway, but it might be worth a try. At worst, it might be a little embarrassing. Best case scenario is that you save a couple hundred bucks and get to contribute to global warming (it's cold in PA, you might as well).

This board is on pace for 15,000 fewer posts in July 2009 than there were in July 2008. We're as fat and happy off the WFC as the players are.

Things have seemed pretty slow the last few weeks.

agreed. i haven't been posting as much myself.

7/25 will rejuvenate us

I think I need to report that shit I just had to the EPA.
