ca: I really wanted to buy one of the Abridged Yu-Gi-Oh! t-shirts that says "Screw the rules, I have money!", but the site that sells abridged yu-gi-oh! t-shirts seems to have certificate issues.. and I just won't trust self-issued certificates with my payment info... Gosh, does it ever suck to be me! ...

Yu-gi a little anime kid with freaky hair and the spirit of an egyption god inhabiting his body to help him play childrens' card games. Seriously, I couldn't make that shit up. The abridged yu-gi-oh is a shortened, redubbed, and hilarious spoof of yu-gi.

I spent 8 bucks on a couple packages of five minute two-part epoxy the other day. Restored a $125 one piece composite hockey stick to service, and a $60 blade for my other stick to service. "Professional" stick blade repairs cost $40. The only reason I needed two things of epoxy is 'cause I broke the seal off wrong on the first one, so the stuff leaked out all over when I tried to squirt it out.In essence, I got $80 worth of repairs for $4!

Have you field tested this yet? Does it work? I can't believe you're going to hit a puck with something repaired with 5-minute epoxy and not have shrapnel. We use the stuff to tack small optical parts at work, but the final glue is always a thermal epoxy. The 5 minute can't hold up to the vibration and shock tests by itself. I would expect the shock put on a hockey stick to be more intense. Seems risky!

Yeah yeah. It separated on one side, but that side had a lot of Gorilla Glue residue in it. I'm gonna clean it out with my Dremel tool and try it again with some high grade marine epoxy.

Wasted $7.99 on a CD. I'm not saying what CD, because you'll all rip on my musical tastes. No, it's not My Chemical Romance.

Yesterday I got one of those 5-Hour Energy shots so I didn't fall asleep on my drive home. It tasted like berry-flavored gasoline. Also got a Sobe and a candy bar, and bought a shiny new webcam when I got home last night.

I've bought tons of things since the last time I was here, the most important of which is this.  Sharp Aquos 32" LCD 1080p HDTV - Got a great price on amazon. Fantastic TV. I also recently bought Devil May Cry 4: Collector's Edition for 360, No More Heroes for Wii, and Dragon Ball Z: Season 4.

Why wouldn't it be able to? Screen size shouldn't affect whether it's interlaced or progressive ...I remember progressive scan TVs came way down in price like a couple weeks after I got mine.

It's cause the majority (If not all) 32" panels are 1366x768(ish) So it can only do 1080i.[This message has been edited by chay's head (edited 02-24-2008).]

When?I saw him in Brussels Jan 24th. 3d time. You will be very tired yet satisfied, and you will know why he only does a country once every 18 months. Nobody could stand more. It's just too much of a good thing. You'll find out what I mean.
He didn't even stop to drink, or breathe, if I recall correctly. He'll take you from an L.A. B-movie (Gates of Hell or sth) set to Pakistan to London (Camden I think it was) with a dozen stops in between, including Syria. He happened to be in Islamabad when they bombed Bhutto.
He's great with kids  Henry Rollins does not speak. He takes over your fragile spirit and beams his spoken words into it. Henry Rollins does not travel the world. It keeps cowering away from under him in fear.
