Okay the boy has to die! You can't let him live! I don't care if its in his contract to do a three picture deal. And tell Scorsese I'm not afraid of him or his goons.

There are no Chinese food breakfast items, and yet there are over a billion Chinese people.

 

Do ALL of them sleep in?

Dude there are. They're just not very palatable! Believe me. Back home in Hong Kong if you ever have a stay in a hospital where you get a choice of the western or chinese breakfast, don't be heroic. Otherwise you get stuck with something called congee, a horrible porridge-like substance. Urrrg!

Oh and Dim Sum is supposed to only be a lunchtime thing like having a sandwich. Its really less often that locals order it at any other time.

 

But more importantly, I'm going on my brother's stag night in Amsterdam in April and I have no idea what to say to stop my girlfriend giving me evil looks about it! :blink:

There is nothing you can say to prevent that, m'boy, except that "Yes dear, I'll be a good boy." And when interrogated...er, asked, "Yes dear, I was a good boy."

Mmm, I love Dim Sum. And there is a place near me that makes it really good. Only problem is I don't have anyone to go with and I don't want to go myself.

For some reason my left foot has been hurting for a couple days. I haven't used it for anything except walking to my car and applying the brake pedal so I don't know what it could be.

So true. As a proud member of the software engineering community, I feel the onus is on me to mention that we have zero cool sounding injuries, nor do we have an Injured Reserve tyepe system in place. Not to mention our 'Career ending' injuries are limited almost exclusively to age.

 

Heck here in the States we cant even unionize and go on strike (which would almost certainly involve getting out of my chair and walking about, so I'm in no way implying I would want to, although I could get to carry a sign...). As an extra special bonus, we have to negotiate time and a half for OT, and if we don't that gets billed separately and doesn't necessarily accumulate Paid Time Off.

 

You will never hear “...and in other news sexy programmer Charles Stone long time starting Research and Development Team Lead for CIBER, had to go on the IR for a potentially career ending typing related injury. Fans had this reaction:...”

 

Surely there are others that have similar rants about their paying gigs ya?

It seems to me like we have several Star Wars movies that are missing. Think about this:

 

Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace

Star Ware 2-10: Don't know

Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones

Star Wars 12-110: Don't know

Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith

Star Wars IV: A New Hope

Star Wars A-U: Don't know

Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back

Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi

 

So when is Lucas going to make 2-10, 12-110, and A-U?

Yeah F-22 Raptor (replacing the F-15). I've always had this question, which would be better, the F-22 or the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter?AIR_F-35_JSF_lg.jpg

Good luck if your computers crash on you, like on the 12 F-22s that were on their way to Korea. Me personally, I'll take this beauty:

 

AFa1.jpeg

 

Virtually impervious to small arms fire, loiter time of around 14 hours, no high-tech issues, 4 20mm cannons and 20 thousand lbs of rockets and bombs to wreak havoc on the bad guys, and capable of coming home on half an engine.

 

Did I mention no high tech issues?

 

Of course, if I can't have my Skyraider, I'll take my F-15C/E. (Currently flown by: USAF [all variants], IAF [A-D,I], Royal Saudi AF , Republic of Singapore AF[sG], JASDF [J/DJ], ROKAF[K].)

 

f-15_05_e_jdam.jpg

 

Mach 2.8 (or better), capable of carrying any weapon in the arsenal (including nukes), and designed to fight it's way in to a target, put it's payload on target and fight it's way back. Or flying on a wing and a prayer:

 

F_15_minus_stbd_wing.jpg

 

I'd like to see a Raptor or Lightning II (JSF) do any of that.

 

By the way, did I mention the Eagle's career record of 104 kills with no combat losses (from enemy fighters)? What other airframe in the world has that record?
