I've been browsing through files on one of my computers and found someone's back-ups of photos from summer 2005. Boy, those were some hot days there... hot girls, too (believe me if I say so myself).

Could have posted something, but I have to wear these tight slim-fit jeans at work

You lost me on the last one, I'm ashamed to say. (Whether that's shame from not knowing, or knowing the others, I won't say.)

Well, in the context of DT, it is certainly not a shame to know names of pornstars. I happen to remember a drinking-game with the guys back in 2002 in which knowing names of pornstars was very beneficial. Certain band-members were particularly good at it...

Let the speculation begin!

@Villain: who won? Who knew most of the male porn-stars? What was the drink?

Let the speculation begin!

Back in the day reference to some porn flicks was in Profiles section of the official web-site, so it's not necessary if you were around long enough

 

[Kovenant84]

This is true. I actually remember seeing those - now if only I could remember who...

There's a button on the left side of the media section for the FAQ but it doesn't link anywhere. Maybe Niklas saw the posts here and the FAQ will reappear soon.

I hate my English teacher. I'll go on a study trip to Malta in 3 1/2 weeks and she just sent the 16th newsletter for it. She sends me more e-mails than I get spam. We also have already had two meetings (5 and 7 hours) to discuss everything. I just want to go there. If I had known she would be like that I would have decided to go somewhere else. Maybe I'll collect some money to buy here a life.

rahvin was right, there's almost no music in the new manowar album. out of the first 6 tracks, 2 are music (and not necessarily good music), and the rest are just people blabbering or instrumentals. i do like instrumentals when well-executed, and manowar play their stuff well, but i wanted more heavy metal.

edit: they also finally gave in and admitted that they got teh gay. the rainbow bridge to valhalla indeed.

^Oh so it is finally out? After how many years? 5? Dunno, but they had like 3 lice cds since the last album uke: uke: .

Gotta tell Mrs.Gigi, she's a big Manowar fan.

I hate them because they cancelled their tour in Europe so I couldn't see Rhapsody *Of Fire * .

Isn't that a bit like hating the bubonic plague because it prevents you from catching chickenpox?

Although they're trying to hide it by featuring teh busty maidens on the cover instead of in the booklet.

We can work something out, hun

Yeah, I finished those 2 days ago, the actual shooting takes about 1 hour per house, it gets tricky with processing. Even though I question quality of some shots, my flatmate approves them - he's a soon-to-have associate in photography, and quite good at it, so I guess I know what I'm doing

That's what the world was waiting to hear: Samsas Traum's opinion on emo kids. Finally!

I happen to own a couple of records by these pricks.

@plintus: i think i need some clarifications on the house in the page you linked.
it costs slightly less than my flat did, but my flat is way smaller. so i was wondering: how does the real estate market work where you live? for the price listed on the site, i could get something like the house you advertise if i settled for a village in the middle of nowhere, complete with 90+ minute drive to and from work every day. at least here, there is an abysmal difference in prices between town and country, and then again if you want cheap you need to pick some isolated, unknown part of the country, not the places made famous by their landscapes, food and wine. so here's my questions:
- where's the house? the site mentions 'exclusive community' and all, but i would like to know how uncomfortable is it to go to work in the nearest city, how long a commute it would be, how chaotic (traffic etc), how tiring. also, would it be possible to have enough money to buy that house and have a job in the neighborhood rather than in a city? in other words, would there be well-paying jobs in the neighborhood?
- how much would a house like that cost in, say, Manhattan or other central neighborhood of a large city?

 

[plintus]

Well, here's the deal (good point, I got to put map up - why the fuck I integrated Google maps anyway? EDIT: the construction is so new, the place isn't mapped on Google, bah!):

the place is situated near a major seaside resort (15 minutes or so, major highway - Garden State - is a couple minutes away by car, at that section it's almost never backed up, in fact, it ends 10 miles south, where the resort - Cape May, NJ - is). So, this house is not really to live in for anyone - I see it as an investment property or some kind of high-shot living, but not for people who live and work in the area.

For comparison: something like this in very Cape May/Wildwood (another resort) would be worth around $1 mil, but as no expert I can only guess. For instance - new condominiums on the oceanfront (not individual homes) were about $900k each.

It's hard to get a house in the Center City, but something close to it 1 block away from me - I live in the Rittenhouse Square (Center City Philly) neighbourhood... here are some prices (1-2 mil), but my guess would be about 1.5 mil average, and I'm talking about an apartment, NOT house.

Manhattan - think of a 2-bedroom/1-bath apartment to be around $1 million +/-

I'm thinking of a 1-bed/studio apartment nearby where I live, something from 120k to 180k, but in next 4-5 years, not sooner.

Erm.. what? You paid around 900k dollars, which would be around 680k euros for a normal flat? All the flats for sale Ive seen so far cost from a fifth to a tenth of that. Either you misread the thousand dollar point, or your flat is very big, very luxurious and right in the center of Rome.. or you paid too much
