Who takes pictures of their dog or whatever a newf is, taking a ****...

Sent from my Desire HD

My dad obviously. And yes, a Newf (short for Newfoundland) is a giant breed of dog. Thor topped out at roughly 190 pounds, though he was probably only about 20 pounds when my dad took that picture of him. That picture was probably Thor's first potty break at our house after we brought him home. Plus, it wasn't like my dad was standing right next to Thor, he was probably about 20 feet away and it's mostly the puppy's posture that is a dead giveaway to what was going on in the picture.

Skate 2 and the first season of The Wire is waiting for me at home. Is it 5 o'clock yet?

Re: Off Topic 2012

The only Skate I own and have played is 3. Judging by that, I'm sure you'll really enjoy 2 - the soundtrack probably kicks *** too.

The plan is to have a vinyl rotation going on.

I had Skate 1. I'm not sure why I sold it or got rid of it either. It was hard, but damn I loved it.

Re: Off Topic 2012

I played all the Skate games. My favorite was 2 without question. That's not to say I don't like 3. I love it. But Skate 2 was and still is the gamechanger for that genre.

I don't get the point of adding a filter to a photo like this:



Girl was trying to show off the Mariners honoring them, and you can barely see it.

While I'm not saying I don't like any of those products, I am kind of annoyed with this "extreme" marketing campaign. The only the thing missing I didn't see was the word epic used 7+ times to promote this isle.

Things like "The Man Isle" and the likes don't really work.

If a female walks in the store and says to a clerk "Excuse me, where can I find a bag of Doritos and some BBQ sauce?" what is he going to say?

"**** you! It's in the man isle!" or "Sure ma'am. These every day generic products that only men like, but you are in search of are located in none other than... The Man isle."

I just don't get it. Yeah men probably eat more chips and salsa than women, but that doesn't justify us getting our own isle. Does eating Doritos really make you any more of a man than hunting deer? It's like a guy is such a tool that he feels eating chips and salsa will somehow make him appear more manly or feel better about himself because marketing says so.

It also bothers me because all the food there is unhealthy and makes us look like idiots who just eat a Dorito filled plate topped with BBQ sauce and jerky bits topping it off. At least put some healthy options on there and promote the man isle with some whey protein, maybe some of those little hand grip things, and some magazines. Or condoms. Yeah, condoms. Those are a good thing to keep in a man isle...

I don't see how they are genderizing (I made that word up) food. If a guy likes something like a fruit smoothie for breakfast is he not allowed in the "Man Isle" because mangos and peaches are indicate vaginal weakness?

And PS: Where does milk stand? Is it manly to buy milk anymore or is that in the "Bitches Only Isle?"

Re: Off Topic 2012

I sold my copy of Madden 12 for $20 on half.com. That's a hell of a price especially being this close for Madden 13. If any of you are wanting to sell it for that price, I suggest doing so now. The trade in value is just under $20 for paypal money or a little over $20 for half.com money.

Hey, you don't know her vision. I mean thanks to instagram everyone is a ****ing professional photographer now. "You just don't get it"....

I know it's typically frowned upon to quote long posts, but this was an epic rant. I got quite a few laughs out of it, especially the end bolded part.

Btw, I agree with it too. I love me some hot wings, pizza, and other sloppy foods but I dig a nice, healthy salad just as much. If that's unmanly, then I don't wanna be... Well, I don't give a ****!

Re: Off Topic 2012

Women are the ones primarily shopping anyway. A lot of the times when I go into the grocery store I'm one of about 2 or 3 other guys in there shopping.

Salad? You should not be allowed back in the thread anymore.

It is the opposite here. Out here it is more of a family affair, you see the wife, the husband and the kids grocery shopping. Unless you go during the week before 5pm, then yeah it is mostly women.
