Was John Pemberton a seer?
Really, could you possibly imagine a better name for a drink than Coca-Cola in regard to marketing potential of China? They say Jules Verne nailed all those means of transport we use today several decades in advance but Pemberton is the real deal here. Coca-Cola. Brilliant.

Id like to question the random country chooser on the site.
I have got austria and italy more than average recently. Makes me wonder if the mods are rigging it so id leave... :P But really, for those of you familiar with the phenomenon, is the generator truly random like sites like random.org or is it pseudorandom? Does anyone know?

NFL Pick 'Em: Week 8
Inside the updated totals after Week 7 will be posted...as soon as I add them (or someone who already has it added up wants to post if, if they're faster.)

As we're at the half-way point of the season, lots of teams on bye and another week for blow-outs it seems. With the Packers on bye, who will dominate the weak...so--who'll win? PICK 'EM!

How do you handle the minefield of introducing your mates to the world of Diplomacy whilst staying within the rules? Are there any guidelines that mods / experienced players can offer on this?

Snow Storm
How did people fair in the snow storm? We lost power for about 24 hours. Roads are still pretty cluttered with trees and most of the surrounding towns (that don't get power from the University) are still out of power.

The powers are listed below...45 point buy-in (as Trek's existed for 45 years, 1966-2011) and you play as the race you have (Human, Vulcan, Romulan, Cardassian, Borg, Bajoran, and, oc course, Klingon.)

Revenge is a dish best served cold...and it is VERY cold in space...! ;)

Cancelling the Masters
Unless someone has talked to TrustMe or compiled a list on their own and knows what's needed, I plan on cancelling any paused Masters game this Thursday. I'm not really willing to reverse engineer each game to figure out what he was planning. It's been left in the fridge too long, time to throw it out.

I'm going as a Zombie Gaddafi, and my roommates are Zombie Bin Laden and Zombie Saddam.
I unfortunately have a whole slew of midterms next week so won't be going out. I would have done Luigi though. A friend of mine is being a member of the 1% and is carrying a sign saying "Screw the 99%, I <3 my yacht"

Wouldn't you go out Friday at least? That's when our party is.
Well, only a few frats are having parties, I'm not greek, and all of those parties are closed. My options are a bit limited. I'll probably end up doing something or another with a bunch of friends

I am being Frodo, and so far its looking great. Went to Goodwill and got some cheap clothes. Costume should be less than $20. Plus I got the curly hair and the shortness that makes me look like him.
Do you have excessively hairy feet?
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))
26 Oct 11 UTC
Not excessively hairy... But not bare. I'm thinking of cutting some of my hair up top (there's lots of it on my head) and somehow getting it to stick on my feet. Not sure how to go about that yet.

@WD: To go as Harry is to ask for a dose of Dresdenesque bad luck on Halloween. Don't stick your hand in your desk drawer, and go easy on the potion mixology.

Putin33 (111 D)
26 Oct 11 UTC
Then again I did, we have people like Invictus come over in "costumes" (masks and a t-shirt) panhandling for candy every year, parents too.

Be careful Zombie Gaddafi, I hear Zombie Bin Laden likes to sodomize people with knives.
You never heard of costume parties?
Putin33 (111 D)
26 Oct 11 UTC
Sorry, 'adults' who aren't frat boys trying to abuse drunk girls.
I'm sorry, only "frat boys" (and those who want to abuse girls i assume) go to costume parties?

Not going to a party, but hours before trick-or-treating, my front yard is transformed into a graveyard. I've got lots of tomb stones, bones, body parts sticking out of the ground, skulls. I've got shredded body to hang on the porch. Add in the strobe light, the creepy music and a fog machines...then top it off with my father - an old retired dude that love to scare people - who sits on the porch in a scary mask with a blanket over his lap....made up to look like a manequin...and then scares the hell out of people!

We get teenagers that are scared to come to the door sometimes....it's awesome.

Regarding Putin....is it any surprise that the moron communist can't grasp the idea of adults having fun on Halloween? Kind of reveals a lot about what a sad, pathetic sourpuss Putin is. Makes me pity the fool...

Does a party always involve an excessive amount of drinking? I think not.

Also, I have never heard that Halloween is a children's holiday.

Really, the candy, ghost stories, pumpkin carving and trick-or-treating smacked of adulthood to you?

Jesus=Socialist?
Someone I happen to see nearly everyday insists that Jesus was a socialist and/or advocated the philosophical and moral grounds/justifications for instituting socialism. I oppose socialism, but am not particularly religious, and thus not really angered by this statement; nevertheless, many Christians I know have been angered by this claim. Discussion/debate?

Six of the Best
Politicians get a lot of bad press in the modern age, and sadly a lot of it is deserved. The vast majority can be safely ignored without any risk of missing anything remotely interesting or useful to our lives. But in the sea of mediocrity float a few stars, a small number of voices that are worth noting. My question is: which politicians still have the power to make you stop and listen? Lets see a list of six of your best!
