    I'm re-installing Medieval 2: Total War on my computer as well as checking if I can still play Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. I still can. =) Now to go to the store and see if I can't find the first two Fallout games and Guild Wars 2.

    Main benefit of living in Southern California: In-N-Out Burger's double-doubles.

    Pretty much everything else around here is intolerable. Heat. Drought. Insane traffic. Insane property values. Crazy weirdos who think SoCal is the whole universe and nobody lives anywhere else.

    But double-doubles almost make it worth while.

    I know these are both useful facts, but you can buy GW2 from the official site, and you can get the original fallout games from GOG.

    Truly useless, but not a fact, as goldfish can't get pregnant.

    Guppies can, but I don't know what they're called when they are.

    If gold fish can't get pregnant, how do we get more gold fish?

    They lay unfertilized eggs in the water, and the males spray sperm all over the general vicinity, which fertilizes the eggs.

    Those are mollies, not gold fish. ;)

    Anyway, all fish produce eggs (as far as I know). Many lay their eggs in the water, after which a male fertilizes them. In some species the fish then pick them up and incubate them in their bodies (can be called "pregnancy", but is far from the same thing as in placental mammals). It's possible that some species fertilize the eggs while they still are in the female's body, although that is not something I've heard of.

    No that I know of.

    Though I do remember the Marb adds in magazines.
    Not a big fan of Cowboys, but that guy sure made
    smoking look manly. :p

    Better than chew, which is a shit-kicker staple.
    My mom says it looks like a compact in the back
    pocket, when you see a guy with a Skoal can squeeed
    into his tight pants. Wonder how many of thoes idiots
    not only have a Skoal ring in their pocket, but one
    on their ass too. :D

    I'm a northern boy, so when I was in boot camp, I could not for the life of me figure out why one of my drill instructors was spitting on the deck (outside) every ten seconds.

    My dog sleeps by lying on my parents bed and intermittently getting up to bark at possums in the backyard.
    No intruders allowed!:D

    The three roll two jacket:

    [​IMG]
    which has three buttons, only one of which is intended to be buttoned, originated at the beginning of the 20th century when jackets with only two buttons displaced those with three as the height of fashion. Students, unable to afford replacing their wardrobes, began to press the lapels on their three button jackets back to imitate a two button configuration.

    Hell, it's easy enough to hurt yourself in traditional positions.
