| When I was in first grade. we had these 35ft. long ropes hanging from the ceiling in the gym during PE and I had no problem climbing them at all. In fact, I could climb one of them to the top in under 12 seconds. Today. I am so out of shape that it feels like my wrists are being rip apart just hang... |

| I don't know if it's a generational thing, but I was "born in the 80s" and yeah I have a tendency for sure to get into this kind of argument. By now, I've trained myself (for lack of a better way to put it) to hedge what I'm saying heavily and make repeated statements that I'm just throwing concepts... |

| Life experiences are life experiences and if there's a moment where one of these experiences can be shared, I share them. This, for sure. Also, if he is still hung up on her, you getting him to agree to stop talking about it isn't going to change that in the least. I mean, if it were me, I'd contin... |

| If I were you, I'd stick with it. If a truly "academic" experience is what you consider "a college experience you love", you probably aren't going to find that at the undergrad level unless you go to a super top flight school that costs $60K a year and is populated with 95% fiercely competitive douc... |

But I am sure this will stir up the debate yet again. Anything can be used as a weapon even a 4,000 lb car. Being on ... |

| Right handed both ways. I was a pretty good baseball player growing up and at one point I foxed with switch-hitting briefly, but it was way too awkward. I could hit balls down the tube left handed, but I couldn't fight off or spray pitches that were high or on the outside corner. Normal/right handed... |

| I'm wild confused in all of this as to what exactly the operational definition of "nice" is. I mean I'm pretty sure such a thing doesn't exist, but I'm lost on what the general perception of it is. I'm "nice" to people in that I'm kind and respectful on a moment-to-moment basis, but I'm far from afr... |

A Wilhelm Scream.
Also, if you qualify it as "punk", I'll throw Jawbreaker in there. I could see arguments either way, but if Green Day and Offspring represent punk, then Jawbreaker qualifies by a wide margin. |

Oh god, not for me :lol: I mean it's great for social situations that hinge on smoking weed in the first place, but to just get high and feel better at some sort of... |

If we went out and spent $20 in gas and made no money then we were out $20 for the day. ... |

Yes!
This is possibly my #1 of all times. Guns Germs and Steel is good, but imo Collapse is better without question. |
