Watch it all if you want. I can't stand Tom Brockaw. He's so clearly trying to make his voice sound deep every time he speaks. He gets to the question that I care about at 2:12, the important part the answer comes it at 2:38
"There's going to be a crisis coming along on the 21st or 22nd of Januray that we don't even know about yet."
What the hell are you trying to tell us, old man? The next president will be sworn in on the 20th. Powell says that will be Obama.
And then there's this:
Ok, could someone please ask these men a few followup questions about their respective statements? I really don't like Biden's use of the word "unpopular" to describe the decisions his running-mate will have to make. That's an incredible admission for someone trying to become vice president.
Metal - Metal, obviously. Lots of
straight-forward kick-ass stuff. Although, it keeps wanting to play
lots of metalcore. :/ Wood - This is good for music that's older
than me. Lots of classic rock, some blues, maybe even
country. Glass - I like a lot of electronic music,
and this is an attempt to put it all together in one station. Pandora
screws it up here and there, but it usually works pretty
good. Air - Slow and mellow stuff form various
genres. This is for music you can fall asleep to. It screws up
sometimes. Mud - Hard rock, some punk, grunge
alternative, indie, stuff that doesn't fit elsewhere. Universe - Before I knew you could mix
stations, I made this to cover everything I like. I still like it
though. Music That Won't Get You Laid - I posted
a blog about this a while back. Lots of
Scandanavian and German metal.
Now, watch
this piece of awesomeness and have a nice
day.
I found the following on Fark.com in a thread about some bartenders' pick-up advice.
I dunno. It seems to me that being funny in a nice way usually works
pretty well. So does asking the right questions and actually listening
to the answers. Also, when complimenting a woman, make a sincere
compliment about something that you are sure that she is never
complimented about. If it is obvious that she has made an extra-effort
with anything that you can visually identify, compliment her on that.
And
if that 3-minute thing actually worked, I'd still be a virgin. Most
women I've slept with... if not all, told me that I made a bad first
impression and they were not at all interested.
Anytime I've
ever spent too much money trying to impress a girl; it's ended in
failure. Whenever I've tried to spend as little as possible and make up
for it in planning and thoughtfulness, I've been able to hook up with
girls significantly out of my range.
Of course being
manipulative doesn't hurt either. Ask lots of open-ended questions and
then mirror their interests back at them a few minutes down the road.
She tells you that she likes gardening. A several minutes later, you
tell a story and somehow work gardening into it.
I think it also
helps to look at a woman and think sexy thoughts. I also find that if I
act as if I'm her paid escort, my behavior shifts. I become more
concerned about the needs of my "client" rather than my own. I become
more attentive. I become more courteous. I act with more confidence.
After
I've finally slept with her, I remove what I consider to be a fair
amount of cash from her purse to compensate me for my time. If I don't,
my wife will beat me when I get home. The second I get in the door,
she's already asking me how much I've earned for the night. If I come
up short, she will beat my ass. I know that she loves me but business
is business and sometimes she has to do things that she doesn't want to
for the sake of our marriage. Besides, if I come up short for the
night, it's my fault.
