There use to be a Chicagonection chain here. They put all their topping underneath the cheese. Pretty good though.

you know what I also hate? Threads that start out with "______ is gonna get announced/revealed soon" where the first 438 pages are full of anticipation and speculation posts. So you end up not following the thread anymore and after a few days where you rediscover the thread and the revelation has been made already you enter the thread to not only find the OP not updated with the news, but seeing the last 802812 pages with posts that are part of a basically long string of conversation derived from the main subject. Ok thanks.

Anyone know why this suddenly flared up? I saw it linked on some blog, then on Colbert, then went to a Wilco show a few nights later and this was their intro music...seems so random

My wife gets mad at me when I call that creepy. Apparently it's a song about coming home from war and it's very moving to her.

People actually eat their own boogers into adulthood and admit on the Internet?  It never even crossed my mind as a kid, as they always grossed me out.  Common sense tells you if your body is trying expel something, why try to ingest it.  Trust nature.

I've eaten my wife's boogers to gross her out.  It doesn't really taste like anything, but the texture alone makes it disgusting.  She slapped the shit out of me and it was gross.

Shes ok with sticking your member in her mouth (WHERE PEE COMES FROM) and drinking your fluids (ALSO WHERE PEE COMES FROM) but when it comes to eating her boogers WOAH NELLY

but dicks turn people on.  boogers don't.  dicks serve purposes other than their gross functions.  boogers don't.

pee is sterile anyways right?  plus, i want her to pee on me.  i've told her a bunch.  that'd be hot.

If anyone uses Digsby, I just made this emote pack from bore emoticons and some random ones me and slime used back on MSN

Just put the folder in /digsby/res/emoticons with the other folders and restart digsby

It's only like 30 or so icons, but its easy to add your own - the other person has to have the same file as well, unlike MSN

Uhhh damn that was no accident.

Also, her death was completely unnecessary. It took them a minute to get help.

Hey toxic, comments in the article say that this isn't Dawn and this happened in 2009.

So this didn't result in a death and he was DETERMINED TO KILL HER and they didn't learn from this and keep tranqs near the pool just in case?

Here's a question, I've popped over to GAF twice recently to check out the buy/sell thread, and both times I go hit with that Renos virus (the one that was wreaking havoc a bit back where a window pops up sying yu're infected, buy our virus scanner crap) when the Google ads try to show up.

This happening to anyone else? I know most many guys on here use firefox/adblock/noscript etc., but I'm just curious if this is a widespread issue.

The video's inspiration was from the band, who wanted "a giant machine that we dance with", a long-term aspiration of the band. They sought help from creative minds at a "Mindshare LA" gathering, hosted by Syyn Labs. From this pool of talent, about 55 to 60 people from Syyn Labs (including some that had worked on the NASA Mars Exploration Rover program) and MIT Media Lab helped to design and construct the machine. Damien Kulush's father also participated in the machine's construction. The team had to work on a limited budget, using recycled trash for many of the props in the device. The team avoided the use of "magic"—automated devices like computers or motors—and instead focused on purely physical devices. The warehouse where filming took place was in Echo Park, California, and was secured by Syyn Labs in November 2009. The construction took over a month and a half during January and February 2010. The band members helped in the last two weeks of construction. Once the machine was completed, the filming, using a single Steadicam, took two days to complete on February 11 and 12, with an estimated 60 takes for the machine to properly function; many of the takes ended only 30 seconds into the process, where a tire would fail to roll properly into the next section of the machine. Syyn Labs had a group of 30 people to help reset the machine after each failed take, a process that took upwards of an hour.

Several elements of the machine had to be properly adjusted to match the timing for the song. Smaller objects like dominoes were found to be the trickiest to set, as their patterns would be less predictable than larger and bulkier objects, which are more predominant in the later parts of the machine. Furthermore, the time of day and temperature would play a big factor in how some small components would behave, forcing the team to readjust the timing. Ball tracks and other features had to be wiped clear of dust and debris to prevent slowing down rolling objects. A carved wooden ball track shown early in the video was created to have motions timed to the music, but required a low inclined angle that would often cause the balls to skip out of the tracks. Kulash noted that their largest "nightmare" for the machine was a set of mousetraps, triggered to release a display of colored flags; they were found to be overly sensitive to earlier actions of the machine, such as the dropping of a piano, and redesign and padding was needed to be used to prevent the traps from being set off.  The timing had to take in account the movements of both the band members and the cameraman; Damien Kulash estimated that though the machine was able to complete its opening at least three times, these shots were botched, because either the band members or the cameraman had fallen behind the action of the machine.

Yeah, should have mentioned I've done all that. The antivirus program running also catches it every time, so it's not a huge concern, it just struck me as odd when it happened a second time a day later. Must just be an infected Google ad.

That said, I'm on there now, and it seems to be ok.
