  1. RETIREE'S LAST TRIP TO COSTCO!! Yesterday I was at Costco, buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Owen, the Wonder Dog and was in the check-out line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I had, an elephant? So because I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse, I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IV's in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a Perfect Diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina Nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete, (certified), so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.) Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care, because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I had stopped to pee on a fire hydrant and a car hit me. Well, I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard. Costco won't let me shop there anymore. Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in the world to think of crazy things to say.

    Former Dutch prime minister Dries van Agt (86) smokes cannabis for the first time in his life, 42 years after he introduced the famous Dutch tolerance policy for cannabis. He was awarded the Koos Zwart Award by @InfoPCN today.

    We need a new class of membership: Honorary Member. These are people who don't play, aren't registered at the site, and from whom we'll never hear, but who by their great deeds merit a tip of the hat from XI. So, I nominate Dries van Agt for honorary membership. All in favor say Aye.

  11. So I've invented the perfect drink for Call of Duty, and studied its effectiveness over the last few weeks of playing freeze tag. I share with you fine folks now the results: First, the drink. You may have to improvise some of the ingredients if you're not a chemistry/physics teacher. Also, it helps to be Irish Catholic. Irish for the genetic tolerance to alcohol, and Catholic to have the training in dealing with the guilt over things you do when you drink. The property tax bill is optional. But it helps in developing the proper level of anger to maximize in-game motivation to kill people. You start by taking a tumbler glass that you just tried to make a vodka martini in but then dumped out when you realized you don't have any olives. Don't clean it. Take three shots of very good bourbon and pour over ice that's been in the freezer since the first Obama administration. Put a teaspoon of sugar in. Then two shots of bitters that have been in your cabinet for at least a year. Go to the fridge to find a lemon to rind so you can finish the old-fashioned you're trying to make, and realize you don't have any. Remember you've never had any, because you don't like lemons. Grab some orange preserves instead and, using your pinky finger as a measuring device, put the end of one finger of the preserves into the tumbler. Then a shot of Irish Whisky, to honor the ancestors. Then another shot of Irish Whisky for flavor. Stir with your pointer finger, before realizing that you haven't washed your hands since setting up a chemistry lab that uses lead and manganese compounds. Set it on top of your incredibly absurd property tax bill as a coaster, which is in turn on top of the four hours of work you have to do before class tomorrow but won't bother starting until the drink is gone. Enjoy. I named it the Dirty Old Fashioned Inbred Irishman, after myself. And attached is the summary of data I've collected on the efficacy of this beverage in game, along with some anecdotal commentary on some recurring patterns I've noticed while collecting data. Sláinte Idiots!

  15. Jerome, you're asking Sweet Roxanne to find someone who can teach you how to keep your finger in that dyke, what? Lol, I'm not calling @Roxy! "that dyke," it's another woman, obviously. I'm just coat-tailing @HarryWeezer's comment about putting some finger in some dyke, or something like that. Geez, Harry, always gotta muddy the waters and sling that mud and rampantly start those malicious rumors. Lol. Ayaq

    If you execute the /pb_myguid command when you are not connected to a Punkbuster enabled server you will get back your local GUID, this is the one you use for LAN parties etc. You need to connect to a Punkbuster enabled server and then execute the command the same as you have been.

    I (and many other Sweedes) wouldn't go for a vacation in this city even if it was the last one on Earth. It's really one of the most unsafe cities in Scandinavia. The same day as you posted there was a grenade attack at one of the policestations... Brussels, Budapest and Rome. Three places I strongly vote yes for!

  28. A penguin was driving through Vegas when suddenly his car stopped working so he had it towed to the nearest mechanic. When he got there the mechanic told him it could take an hour or two to find out what is wrong with his car. The penguin was getting hot so he asked the mechanic where he could cool down. The mechanic reply "there is an ice cream parlor a few blocks up the street" so the penguin thanked him and waddled up to the parlor. When he got there he ordered the biggest cup of vanilla ice cream they had. After awhile of enjoying his ice cream he started to head back to the mechanic. When he got back the mechanic said "Hey it looks like you blew a seal" then the penguin shouted "No no! It's just vanilla ice cream!" A penguin walks into a pharmacy and asks to buy a condom. The pharmacist asks, "should I put that on your bill"? The penguin says, "I'm not that kind of penguin". A man stumbles into a bar. The bartender asks the man what's wrong. The man simply asks "How tall is a penguin?" The bartender thinks for a minute, and says "About four feet." The man buries his head in his hands and says "Shit, I just ran over a nun". A penguin walks into a pharmacy and asks to buy a condom. The pharmacist asks, "should I put that on your bill"? The penguin says, "I'm not that kind of penguin". One day a Cop pulls a van over and when he walks up to the window he sees ten penguins in the back. The cop asks the man "are those your penguins?" The man Says "yes, they are my pets." The cop replies to the man "You need to take them to the zoo right now." So the man agrees and drives off. The next day the cop pulls over the same van and he walks up to the window and sees the ten pengins all wearing sunglasses. The cop says to the man "I thought i told you to take those penguins to the zoo." The man says "I did, today we are going to the beach!"

  31. Prices will come back down in a few months. Mining for cryptocurrency with "PC" rigs will slow down, now that the price of bitcoin and others are dropping. Plus the latest ASIC Miners are getting more efficient than PC rigs and ASIC miners are easier to setup. But they are pretty damn loud. More people are doing "Cloud Mining" ( I being one). With cloud mining your renting ASIC miners, that these sites maintain for a percentage of your profit. Now when ASIC Miners and/or video card rig prices settle down, I may build my own miner or buy an ASIC Miner. At current values (hash rates, difficulty rate and bitcoin price) a single Radeon 570 pc rig would earn around $3.00 - $3.50 per day (after operating costs). Thats $1,095 profit a year. Now build a PC rig with 6 Radeons would earn you $6,570 profit a year (at current values). A 6 card pc rig would cost roughly $1750 to $2,000 to build. After 4 months the rig is paid for. Now the latest ASIC Miners can earn you up to $250 a week or $13,000 per year. At current levels. But they cost around $6,000 to buy. An ASIC would pay for itself in 6 months. So in the long run ASIC's are the way to go. I predict bitcoin will be around $5,000 per coin in about a month (if not sooner). And with the governments around the world on the fence about cryptocurrencies, that alone is making shit volatile. Now if the governments come to a consensus and acknowledge cryptocurrencies, well one could see bitcoin shoot up to $100,000 in a few years. But then again, they could all go belly up !! Very interesting and unpredictable investment. Remember who got rich during the "Gold Rush" ? The guys selling shovels !!! Video card manufacturers and ASIC builders are laughing to the bank.

  36. No offense kitty but we have no rules against hijacking threads on our forums, and my point is that if I decided to post a single picture for every piece of furniture in my house and change the discussion to American basketball it's not against the rules, regardless of how much you may be upset about it.
