I wasn't expecting to sit down and write incredible lyrics on my first try, but I was curious if anyone could provide some pointers or...

For some reason I just remembered that my ex thought it was weird that I occasionally made eye contact during sex. After breaking up with her I hooked up with another girl who kept her eyes closed the entire time and didn't move at all and I thought that was weird. Also, in my human...

After a rant about how much I hate Bob Marley (fans) in another thread, I came up with these two jokes. Obviously, feel free to substitute Bob Marley with whichever artist the recipient of the joke has wasted the most money / hours of their life listening to, or artist with whom you and the...

For reference, "Ardi" refers to the new Ardipithecus ramidus fossils. I was trying to watch the "Discovering Ardi" documentary a couple nights ago when in a hostile takeover of the television, my father dismissed the documentary as "the same old crap we've seen a million times before...

About a week ago I was talking to a friend of mine and thinking of cheesy pseudo pick up lines as I often do when talking to a woman. I made my usual comments about making babies, with the necessary emphasis on "making but not having," a.k.a. "practicing making babies," as condoms would be...

..but seriously: http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=350017&GT1=28103&silentchk=1& I have never heard this parting expression before, but I've also never been to Louisville. Is there anyone on this board from the Louisville area who can confirm that this is in fact a well known parting...

2009 original post: I was recollecting my music history class from a couple years ago and remembered the professor telling us that folk and traditional music are basically songs without a known composer and that _______ music is basically any musical piece with a known author or composer. I've...

Someone from the TabIt forums posted this and I've been playing it pretty much all night. When I first started, I had about 45% accuracy on the interval trainer, but a few hours later, I'm now up to around 65%, and I can choose my answers more quickly, with fewer replays. I haven't tried the...
