Thank you for posting this!!!...... So they're jailed for expressing their right under the 1st Amendment. You are absolutely 100% NOT "wasting a vote" on a libertarian, independent, green candidate. You're/We're doing the exact opposite, expressing the rights we're SUPPOSED TO HAVE. Good for them! There are so many people that still don't get it. Obama + Romney = BOUGHT AND PAID FOR. It's not what they SAY, but what the DO, i.e., NDAA & NDRP.  Look it up and check out the signature.

@ Andy

Love the roadster, any update photos on that 5 window conversion?

Going as Ace Frehley.

I'm going Lucha Libre -- minus the DiPinto Galaxie 4 unfortunately.

I'm also setting up the bathroom to look like a bloody mess. So I have one of those shower gel blood packs but that won't be enough. If you use ketchup you can pour it in the bath to mix with water to get the right effect, I have a plastic severed limb and if you write REDRUM on the bathroom tiles in front of the mirror well....

When I came up with this idea I had to do it instantly, the green jelly and other party food stuffs can wait but gerkins are good for little else in my opinion.

This one needs a bit of jazzing up but when it's dark with the fairy lights it should look a bit better.

This thread needs some pictures: I made a sign for my bathroom as it has no lock on it and I hate getting caught with my trousers down.

Who doesn't love BBQ? It's the universal pig-out (pun intended) food of rock 'n' roll fests, car shows, beer bashes, bluegrass jams, etc. Whenever I travel around, I always try and stop anywhere that advertises their "award-winning" 'que, and usually the more rustic the joint, the better the grub. I thought that it would be useful to us meatheads to post our recommendations, so wherever we are hittin' the highway, we can stop and have that scrumptious smoked pig. It would also be of value to post those establishments that have shitty food (and service), so we know to avoid them rather than waste our time, overpay, and fight off an intense case of indigestion.

My first posting is on the Lexington BBQ Restaurant in Lexington, NC. Now this town boasts that they are the "BBQ Capital Of the World". I won't dispute that (especially since good BBQ in Roanoke, VA is very hit and miss), but if I had to base that rep on this one place, I'd say that the townfolk are full of chitlins! Ok, the food WAS good, but a little pricey for what you get (I'm a hog, haha), in which I got a little tray of chopped meat, red slaw in a small bowl, and (killer) hush puppies for $10.50. I know pork isn't the cheapest stuff anymore, but shit, this portion seemed like it was for a damn McDonald's Happy Meal. Feel free to read some reviews from previous customers here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/lexington-barbecue-lexington-2

I would gladly travel back to Lexington to try other 'que joints, but I won't go back to this one...

Just watched "Boardwalk Empire , Season One". Steve Buscemi outdoes himself. He almost carries the whole show  , but , the supporting cast is very strong , too , even if I , myself , did'nt recognize any of 'em.

UPDATE: I just weighed myself, and I've lost 20 pounds, Huzzah!

About 4 months ago I decided to try a vegetarian diet (health reasons, I'm middle-aged, 5'11" and 250 lbs.). At first it was just an experiment to see if I could do it, but so far it's a success. I haven't actually lost that much weight, but inside I feel so much better!

I recently read an article here in Portland by someone who has been vegetarian for 3 years, and he says that he's lost 100 pounds! If I can even lose 1/2 of that I'm hooked! On July 1st I'm going to make the jump to Vegan for further health reasons. It shouldn't be that hard, mainly lose cream in coffee, and pizza.

Anyhoo, if anyone is now, or is considering becoming Vegetarian, I'd love to hear your stories and takes on the decision.

I'm not one of the types to stop wearing leather (ugh, pleather!), nor am I the type to listen to special "Vegan" punk bands, I just decided to lose a bit of weight for the ol' ticker.

If you are interested in more thoughts My Crazy Vegan Life (recipes/outlook) is a great place to start.

And here is that rancher that sold his ranch and went Vegan. This is his whole documentary, Mad Cowboy.

I feel great, but at heart I'm still a cranky Punk rocker!

Best, Dave

Probably old news to you....but for my money, the original "Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" and "The Golem" are hard to beat...

Never had or even seen Old Tom.  Am I right that it was the Tom used in the creation of the Tom Collins?

Do you put the tubes in the freezer to chill them first?
