I get free student tickets and I have enough points to be guaranteed tickets to any game, not that it matters as FSU's home schedule blows outside of the Miami game.

If you haven't already, go to any youtube video, click on the blank space on the side of the video and type in 1980.

Re: Off Topic 2013

You can type "1337" in the same spot.

Other hidden tricks: Type in "Use the force Luke" as a search. Can also type "Beam me up scotty" as a search. "bronies" or "Ponies" works as a search term. Put a "/" in front of any search with a space after it.

You can also type "do the harlem shake"

There are also a bunch of tricks on google.com
"do a barrel roll" is one I can think of off the top of my head
"tilt" is another

I tried this on the Paramore video for Pressure. That seems like a pretty appropriate song for the game.

The Harlem Shake one does nothing for me.

Re: Off Topic 2013

Most of the Southeast doesn't have tolls which is something I miss. Here all the ones I'm familiar with/paid/avoided.

Jersey turnpike, costs like $13+ to drive the whole way (not that long).
PA turnpike, costs like $30+ to drive across the state.
Florida, Orlando area has tolls, but they are avoidable.
I95 at the Delaware state line, $4.
You can pay to use the express lanes on 495 in DC, but I'm never there in rush hour. You have to have an EZ Pass though and they still usually have HOV requirements.
Texas has some here and there, but nothing like the Northeast. They are pretty avoidable from what I recall.
Oklahoma has toll roads, pretty cheap though. It only cost like $3 or so to go from Fort Smith, AR through Oklahoma into Kansas.
NY thruway, it's a few dollars to take I90 up to Buffalo, thruway goes to other parts of the state as well and it can get expensive.
It's $3 to take the Peace Bridge into Canada from Buffalo.
Ohio Turnpike is a few dollars to get across the state on I80/I90.
I think there are tolls over towards Chicago as well.
There are toll roads in the Denver area, but I avoided them.
Highway down to Dover has tolls, but they are pretty cheap.
I remember paying a $1 toll up around Maine/Massachusetts to go over a bridge. There are other tolls but I avoided some of them.
Of course, the $8 toll to go north from Baltimore to Philly.
Tunnels in Baltimore are $4.
I think there is a $4 toll to go over a bridge into NJ from Delaware.
It is a couple dollars if you take the toll roads down to Atlantic City.
I think Kentucky used to have tolls on the Bluegrass Parkway, but those were gone years ago.

Re: Off Topic 2013

Last time I was on Bluegrass Parkway going to a Kentucky/Bama game there were no tolls.

As far as I know there are only 2 tolls in Alabama.

Re: Off Topic 2013

Anybody have a good phone to recommend?

I have a Droid X through Verizon and it is about 3 years old now (maybe even 4). Its basically dying as the touch screen is losing functionality and the OS is slowing down and getting less stable. I don't really use data too much other than tapatalk, facebook, and random F2P games. I take lots of pictures and record some video/sound.

I'd like something ideally $50 or under with the "upgrade."

On Verizon I'd recommend the Droid DNA. It's $50 at Best Buy right now and a really really solid phone. The only downside is that it doesn't have expandable memory or a removable battery. It has a 1.5 ghz quad core processor and a really solid camera. Battery life is gonna get you through the day.

Otherwise I would do the Galaxy SIII. It's $50 at Best Buy as well. It is slightly smaller and runs a 1.5 ghz dual core processor, so it's a little slower. Upside, it has expandable memory, a removable battery, and a million different accessories. But if it were me, I would do the DNA. I really like HTCs user interface, and I don't care much for Samsungs. I'd also buy it at Best Buy or Radio Shack or something over the Verizon store. The phone is almost undoubtedly gonna be cheaper at a retailer like that.

Verizon has the iPhone for a penny, but not sure I want to switch over to Apple after enjoying the Droid so much.

For what you use the phone for the iPhone would be perfect.
