yeah, I asked for it a month ago, but they told me you have to be registered for one year.

BS, indeed.

Short version is is that if the people I know, love and trust need to find me, they can find me. Don't need a cell phone to do it. I'm not overly complicated. Peeps can find me.

Aussies don't need cell phones to communicate with each other... We communicate via telepathy... Haven't you guys seen Crocodile Dundee...

Eagle eye was one of the worst movies I've ever seen, literally, easily top (bottom) 5.

I saw the newest episode of True Blood tonight. Weird as always, but entertaining.

I didn't think Eagle Eye was bad. I kinda liked it.

As for Trueblood, the episode was ruined for me when that clingy vampire girl said something about how people say plasmas are so thin and light. How could they let that get through? Plasmas are heavy as all hell. Regeneration or not, if a vampire was hit with a plasma, it would stay dead. Maybe since it's a girl vampire, she doesn't understand these things.........

I'm gonna guess that the bomb won't go off when the guy pushes the button to trigger it.

Just made two over easy ones. Can someone teach me how to flip them without using a spatula?

Also regarding Trueblood, someone pointed this out to me: why does silver hurt the vampires? I thought silver bullets and the like was supposed to hurt werewolves, not vampires.

Yahoo Answers is your friend:

Because of the mysticism surrounding silver's lunar associations, as well as the aesthetic qualities of the white, reflective metal that cause it to be associated with purity, silver in European Folklore has long been traditionally believed to be an antidote to various maladies and fictional monsters. Notably, silver was believed to be a repellant against vampires (this primarily originates from its holy connotations; also, mirrors were originally polished silver, and as such, vampires allegedly cannot be seen in them because they are wicked) and it was believed that a werewolf, in his bestial form, could only be killed by a weapon or bullet made of silver, and was equally effective against vampires, as described in Eastern European folklore. This has given rise to the term "silver bullet," which is used to describe things designed to cure or fix a wide array of maladies.

That was not a very good egg flip. Plus no explanation.

somebody needs to shot sookie in the face. and bill should have stayed with the clingy vampire. she was hotter and seemingly more fun. sookie sucks at life.

hey, e4, did you end up going to that crapfest yesterday at azteca? dolo over spector, bad move. ching over anybody bad move. dempsey was invisible in the midfield. why not just start him up top (assuming jozy isnt ready for 90mins) and move either benny or stuart to the right side of the midfield. ugh... soooo. close. and what the hell is up with fans getting away with pelting donovan with cups of beer as he is taking a corner. if that happened anywhere in the US or europe these days the country would be playing their next game in an empty stadium. ridiculous. oh well, what can you expect when they make us play on top of a freaking mountain in the smog.

I am a chef, have been all my life since I live in a family full of bakers/chefs, so if you have any questions let me know.

To flip without using a spatula, use a nonstick pan, make sure it is sprayed with pan spray anyway, make sure the skillet is HOT before putting the eggs in the skillet, and have confidence. Don't do a wimpy, im not sure if I can flip, otherwise you will fail. Same goes with pancakes.

I guess practice with a fully cooked egg or pancake.
