A discman? d00d, discmans are so late-1990s. Nowadays, it's all about the portable mp3 players. ;)

I'm chiming in a little late, but I'm with everybody else who says take the dream lifestyle job. Even a job I loved doing couldn't convince me to live in a near-poverty state.

Some threads are just too good to fade into obscurity.

Okay, I sent my receipt to PirateCat.

Damn, that's some good advice right there! Your dad is a genius. I gotta disagree with this one. Continuing to persue a woman even if she's made it abundantly clear that she's not interested may work out in the movies, but in real life it makes you a stalker. It will annoy the woman at...

Damn, thanks for the link and the book recommendation! I'm gonna give the Packer's Pro Shop a good long look later, and maybe I'll buy him the book as well. :) The mail-order bride and oragami boulder ideas are good too. :cool:

I know this is gonna sound cliche, but you're really better off without her. She's got way too much emotional baggage to make persuing her worthwhile. It's also good to see that you have a positive attitude about the whole thing. Accepting that she dosen't feel the same way as you and...

Nope, he's not going to college just yet. He'll be a high school senior this fall, so it'll be at least another year. As it is, I'll probably get him either an X-Box game or piece of sports merchandise, unless somebody comes up with a really cool idea. :)

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I'm looking at sports merchandise, but I'm also thinking of getting him The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion for the XBox 360; he rented it a while ago and never finished it, but he has intended on buying it.

Howdy folks! Three weeks from tomorrow (July 27) is my little brother's birthday. He'll be turning 18 years old, and I'm starting to think about what to get him. I figured that EN World is a good place for suggestions (I didn't do this at Circvs Maximvs because he occasionally reads that...

Well if you have that attitude, then you definately will fail. Have a little faith in yourself, bro. So you are looking for something romantic and fun that dosen't involve the outdoors (so much for a picnic or moonlight walk on the beach) or cost a whole lot of money? Well, there are a few...

Still waiting for my Community Supporter account to be restored as well.

Hey, glad to hear about the weight loss. Losing 30 lbs is definately something to be proud of. :) It's also good to hear that keep a good personal appearance and try to be sociable, and that you realize that the world dosen't revolve around you. I'm sure that things will work out for you just...

This is very similar to a quote from George Bernard Shaw I heard a while back... "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if...

That is a very accurate description of some of the "how can I get women to like me?" threads I've seen around here in the last few years. It both amuses and amazes me how some people can wear their social ineptitude and lack of style/hygene as a perverse badge of pride. Thankfully...

1) The Gym. Going to the gym serves two purposes; first of all, it gets you in shape, which makes you more attractive to women. Second, it's also a good place to meet women. 2) The Mall. The average mall is crawling with attractive women on a weekend. 3) Church Functions. This only...

I recommend Scarface starring Al Pachino and Michelle Pfeiffer. It's the tale of a young Cuban gangster who falls in love with his boss' wife. It's a timeless romance.

Yeah, you're right. He definately shouldn't be putting his life under the control of somebody who is apparantly very wishy-washy and inconsistant. I hope I didn't come across as suggesting that, which I why I told him to date other women instead of pining over Kay (although I can definately...

I'm going to repeat a line that Teflon Billy posted on this very subject a couple of years ago: A friendship where one "friend" has unrequited romantic designs on the other is not a friendship; it's a recipe for disaster. Unknown Soul, if you've let this woman know that you have romantic...

First of all, this thread was a real pain to find due to the Community Supporter accounts currently AWOL. So I hope you don't mind some more thread necromany. Well, after two months, I've finally read the complete Dark Tower series from start to finish. Overall, I really enjoyed it, and found...
