So, what are your favorite foods? I really like seafood (lobster, shrimp, crab). Also, pizza, chicken, tacos, quesadillas, various sandwiches...

hehe, ps1. I'm glad. Thanks folks.

lol. "Why is this open?" "That darn sales clerk! Say, mind if I give it a go first?"

If I was rich, I'd probably buy every console that came out. But, if I have to choose one, between the two in the poll, I'll go with the Wii.

Hello, Thank you for visiting KarateForums.com. Given the interest in the recent threads discussing soda/pop (), I just wanted to introduce everyone to a sister site of KarateForums.com that launched the day before yesterday - SodaRatings.com. At SodaRatings.com, you rate your favorite (and least favorite) sodas. You have your own personal profile where your favorites are displayed and you can even generate your own favorite soda image to display on your MySpace, Xanga, blog, website, signature (although not here!), etc., like this one here: http://www.sodaratings.com/img/linkback/1_favoritesoda.jpg So, if you have any interest in the subject, please give it a look. http://www.sodaratings.com If you do join up, please feel free to post a favorite soda image in this thread (BBCode format 1). Thank you for reading.

Hey all, Please don't forget that this thread is for you to personally list your favorite MMA fighters. Favorite, not best. The fighters you like, like watching, enjoy routing for, etc. Everyone has different favorites, there is no right, wrong or better and it's not a competition. Thanks.

Thanks, bearich.

Yeah, from what I understand, it is, Brian.

I had the same immediate reaction, Laurie. But, a Google News search led me to the fact that it's a soccer match.

Hey Laurie, No problem. I'm sure they have things that a vegan could eat in the normal sections (maybe I'm wrong, though they do have a lot of stuff). If there is a specifically brand that makes vegan products you like or maybe a specific product, run a search with it's name. I just searched for "vegan" and it came up with 472 things. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gro/104-7123092-2443105?url=search-alias%3Dgrocery&field-keywords=vegan So, it looks like they have some stuff, at least.

Cool.

I call it soda. But, my grandfather always asks if I want pop. Different times, locations, etc.

It's a computer game.

I picked this up on sale for $3.65 (I think) a few weeks ago. Never played any Half-Life games and ... well, I don't play that many games at all right now just out of being busy, but I'd like that to change. Anyway, does anyone have this game? Thoughts?

Sorry to hear that.

Yeah, I'm a fan of the series, as well. Have read all the books and seen all the movies.

Christmas at Ground Zero.

Any other soda drinkers here? I'll drink a majority of sodas and like them, but I would have to say that my favorite would be Coke or Cherry Coke. Most of the time, we drink store brands (or, more specifically, Sam's Choice).

Welcome.

I don't really think he's out to mock people individually as much as just make people laugh. I have a friend who saw him in concert and he said he was great, as well.

Any other Weird Al fans here?

I understand your point here, but in fairness, being a cop isn't play thing, either. Neither is being a robber. Surely being a police officer is as serious as being a martial artist? It (what bearich linked to, anyway) says 36 months to 8 years. It's a toy. It's not a big deal and it's not a disgrace to anything, unless you think that play cop sets (with REAL badge!) are a disgrace to police officers. Not every 5 year old kid who has a basic interest in kicking and punching and jumping around and maybe watching a video with some cool martial arts guy wants to take Karate and go a few days a week for the rest of their life. Toys are about excitement and fun. They aren't trying to get a college diploma and a piece of paper they can show everyone. It's just for fun and for them to have fun. They aren't going to grow up and when they are 30 say that they are martial arts masters. And, like every punching bag, kickboxing movie and toy weapons set ever made, the upbringing and atmosphere is what has the most influence on whether or not they get into fights... not a toy set. I have no problem with it.

I'm glad that you got your stuff back, but I worry about the next person she picks.

I do enjoy reading, but I just get so busy that I don't get to read things except what's needed or in short bursts here and there. I bought myself a number of books related to the death of The Notorious B.I.G. and Bad Boy Entertainment related subjects, so I hope to get to those eventually. But, if I'm reading anything right now, it's Driver's Handbook by Division of Motor Vehicles, North Carolina Department of Transportation.

What's the last movie you saw in theaters? We don't go to theaters hardly at all. The last one I saw, I think, was the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie. And that was only because we had gift certificates.
