Actually, I like the taste of pickle juice. That sounds good. I may have to be careful with that one, though. Need to watch my sodium. Patrick

Congrats and good luck, Bob. Patrick

Good luck, GeoGiant. Patrick

This is exactly what I was going to say. I agree with everything Brian's been saying, actually. Bob, while you are practically correct, about having to live with whatever policies are in place (which is true), that doesn't stop people from discussing it. You never know - in some cases, change can be possible. You never know. Thanks, Patrick

I went ahead and gave this it's own thread. Good luck, judjohns. Patrick

Belated welcome, 6ambit. Thanks for the kind words. What is the meaning behind your username? Patrick

Welcome to KF, Dennis.

Belated welcome, Ben. Glad to have you. Patrick

If you want to have the movie preserved for you, I'd definitely advise staying out of this thread. Jay, the U.K. release date for "Predators" was July 8. I did a search on Google and found these show times, using London as a starting point: http://www.google.com/movies?q=Predators&btnG=Search+Movies&hl=en&near=london&ei=QPVJTJ_SJ8G78gaS0-CjDg Hope this helps. Patrick

If it makes the game safer, I hope they find a way to make it work. Patrick

Thanks for the replies, all! Great stuff. Really enjoy reading this. Some of the things that caught my eye... JohnASE, chocolate and chips actually sounds good to me. May have to try that. Lupin1, that soda combination sounds cool. Never heard of that before. I just visited the World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta. I have a feeling you might love it there! They have over 60 sodas from all around the world. All sorts of flavors from a really bitter one to all fruits to all of the Coca-Cola brands. You could mix all day! It was a fun place if you love soda like I do. Also, ketchup and mayo mixed together has been a salad dressing my mom has made forever. twistkick kid, I also dip my eggs in ketchup, sometimes. And I love onions and garlic. I do put diced onions on my hot dog (turkey dog). Patrick

Nice thread idea, isshinryu5toforever. Yeah, I have to say that I have pretty much avoided "strange" foods (or the foods we'd consider strange here at KF). I can't really even think of anything. Patrick

Good thread idea. Thanks for starting it, JiuJitsuNation, and everyone who has contributed to it. Word of mouth is awesome and powerful. But, if you have the budget for some marketing, it is definitely worth experimenting with. It also depends on your goals, if your school is meant to grow as large as it can be, if you depend on it for your income, etc. etc. etc. Thanks again, Patrick

Thanks Brian. I appreciate you posting this. Sorry for the delay in responding to this. Well said, GeoGiant. Very sad. But, when I heard the news, one of the things I thought was that it made me even more glad that we won last year. A bit more fitting. My thoughts are certainly with his family. The polarizing persona aside, he helped a lot of people and I suspect we'll hear more and more about how he helped folks privately without the press knowing, now that he has passed. As a sports fan, he was my kind of owner and it's hard to argue with 7 titles in 27 years. As a whole, I think he was good for the game and hope that, now that he's gone, he'll finally get an appropriate look for the Hall of Fame. Bob Sheppard also passed away, shortly before Mr. Steinbrenner did. They'll both be missed. Rest in peace.

I would say that different people have different ideas of luxury. Hundreds of acres of green pasture and a barn would be luxury for some, where this house might be luxury for others. All depends on what we enjoy. Patrick

Interesting. Speaking generall, it's dangerous if admittance to an institution is seen as some sort of factual matter of your being. Goes against the human nature of mistakes.

Cool house. That said, $50,000,000 could go a lot farther in North Carolina.

Great to hear. Our pleasure. Patrick

The main thing for me is it seems like the machine's are still too much of a hassle. Making sure the item is in the bag, that I do things in the correct order, etc. Half the times I've used one, I've needed help from an attendant. lol. And it's not like I'm technologically challenged. So, I just opt for the person. If I knew it would be a seamless process to use the machine, I wouldn't hesitate to use it, if I felt it would be faster. Patrick

Welcome to KF, flatfoot. Glad to have you. Patrick
