  1. Going by this picture, I'd sooner fight Inoki and Thesz at the same time than even jokingly look pissed off at Gotch.
  2. Craig, calm down. No need to be that nervous. Just try to relax and enjoy your time together.
  3. I'm a nurse and I've practically lived at the hospital for extended periods of time. I can't say I ever felt remotely interested in one of my co-workers in a romantic way, and I can't recall any affairs going on between others either. Relationships between co-workers, yes, but not them cheating on their actual significant others. I certainly don't think it's more prevalent in this line of work than in nine-to-five office jobs. The one thing you might want to keep in mind: if she comes home and seems unusually quiet and doesn't want to talk about it, don't press it. That was something the missus and I had to work on at first as well. It happens that you see extremely horrible shit in hospitals (I work on a burn unit, so...) and, like you said, we find comfort in our co-workers. They go through similar things as well, so we all want to be there for each other through those really tough moments. I don't talk to the missus about it at all. I don't want to disturb her with tales of children burned to a crisp and what have you, and I don't want to linger on those issues any longer than I absolutely have to either. It's not about being quiet because you're angry, or being quiet because you don't want to accidentally blurt out you're having an affair, or being quiet because you don't trust your partner or think 'they won't understand'; it's mental self-preservation. The missus found that difficult to deal with at first, but she understands and, heavens bless her, accepts it now. If your girlfriend seems to be in that kind of mood (even if it lingers on for days or weeks), just try to accept it and be there for her. That, at least, has worked best for me, and it seems to work well for many of my colleagues too. (Also: nurse role-play.)
  4. 'Dr. Bennet Omalu, the renowned neuropathologist whose discovery of chronic traumatic encephalopathy in football players inspired the movie "Concussion," is willing to "bet [his] medical license" that O.J. Simpson is suffering from the disease.' http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/14677428/dr-bennet-omalu-bet-my-medical-license-oj-simpson-cte
  5. I went outside and saw a buzzard tearing into a pheasant on our picnic table in the backyard. The buzzard looked up at me and I swear to the heavens it balled up its talons into a fist and shook it at me, in that, 'If you come any closer, I swear I'll fuck you up' manner. I went back inside.
  6. Didn't even catch on you on the second bounce.
  7. Finally! My long hours of hacking into Google, messing with its Image Search algorithms and counting on piranesi's unique brand of insanity have paid off at last! Come here, you!
  8. Add SHRILLY SHRIEKING COMMENTATORS and unnecessary swearing to that.
  9. You're just being paranoid. That's ridiculous.
  10. Monkey Flip into the Gorilla position. I'll go.
  11. Lots of shit and 'meh' pilsners last Saturday. We stopped at 22 because we noticed that we'd all rated the last three as 'eh, decent, but nothing special'; a sure sign that our taste buds had given up the ghost. We'll do the last three and the rest another time, perhaps spread out over a longer period of time. Two that stood out as 'shockingly good for pilsners': Hinano (Tahiti) and Lapin Kulta (Finland).
  12. 'A cape?! Oh, come on, Vince! I'm fucking Kane, the Demon! What's fucking demonic about a fancy cape?!'
  13. 1) I hate you. 2) That was another annoyance as well. So many takedowns. There was one really blatantly stupid one near the end where it seemed like one of the actors missed his cue and Keanu Reeves must have thought, 'I need to stall for time. Better do a completely unnecessary takedown on this corpse.'
  14. I just watched John Wick: Chapter 2. I was a big fan of the first movie; the action scenes in that one were so much fun. The action scenes here were boring at best and too convoluted or downright silly at worst. I didn't mind the story of the first movie either, but the story here was just plain silly. (Granted, you could say that about the first one as well, but this was worse). I did enjoy the world-building, though. Glad to see Ruby Rose, although I wish there had been more of her. I've got an adolescent crush on her.
  15. Standing like that would be a good last-ditch defense against JBL's brand of hazing.
  16. Not a picture, but I didn't know about this and it's pretty funny, so take a look and smile:
  17. Some friends and I have gathered 41 different pilsners from around the world. We're going to try them all tomorrow. God help us all.
