    Best time machine movie

    I thought Butterfly Effect was pretty good, despite Ashton Kutcher (who was actually not bad in the movie.) One of the more original movies to come out of Hollywood in quite some time. There is a little known movie called "Primer." It's only about an hour long, but it's a great movie. It's...

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    It's more my dark sarcasm and mannerisms I must say. Pictures don't do it, it's only a fraction of second of my life and some pictures of me don't even look like me. I needed an updated pic anyway, I hate getting my picture taken, the forum is lucky to get even that much. :p

    Any idea how to choose/use cologne..

    I think I have most of my sense of taste. Probably 80%. I remember reading in a study that 90% of people that do not have a sense of smell, is for psychological reasons. Mine is for real, I've taken steroids to try to revive it but it's gone. Having no smell takes the edge off my cooking I...

    Degree inflation

    Well, since still more people have degrees than not, if employer requires one and you don't have a degree, you could still get the job if they like you. They'll just pay you less since you didn't "meet the requirement." I've only been out of college 5 years though, I'm sure the more...

    Health Insurance Rates?

    Similar to my policy. I wouldn't go the HMO route though. At the time of open enrollment, I had a choice of 80% PPO, 90% PPO, or HMO. I avoid HMO like the plague. I chose 80% PPO, b/c the extra that I would've had to pay for the 90% wouldn't save me any money. My co-pay is $20, no...

    Your Labor Day Plans?

    I am not doing anything. Originally I had plans but they fell through. Company I work for was sold (very large portion of it), therefore I am lucky to still be with my company, instead of receiving notice that my employment is with the other company. Looks like I'll be using my 3 day weekend...

    The Military

    I do have experience with relatives in the Armed Forces. My brother was in the Marines. He joined about 1997 or so. He served his 4 years plus 2 years reserve, thereby fulfilling his contract. His original release date was 9/11, which was obviously postponed till a few weeks afterward. When...

    Degree inflation

    Though I am paying a nice chunk of change for a Masters in Accounting, I must say I agree with you. Some fields require Masters or higher. I have a Bachelors in Business, but that has not gotten me anywhere. I have 2 theories about that. 1) Hearing impaired. No company hires a "disabled"...

    Health Insurance Rates?

    $52 a month for health, $5 for dental. No vision, had the lasik done 4 years ago, 20/20 vision since, there it's not needed now.

    What you say drives me crazy.

    Ha- reminds me of company memos that get handed out at work. I don't know what their motives are as far as trying to look smart, but usually that achieves the opposite effect. A common occurence would be the use of "except" when the proper word is "accept." And they say Georgia is ranked...

    Any idea how to choose/use cologne..

    I don't know, for some reason most of my friends are of the similar type. I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs. They party frequently, but I have never attended a party with them, nor did I meet them at a party. I withdraw into my shell and just sit around whenever I go to a party. They always...

    Any idea how to choose/use cologne..

    I am actually the nicest guy anyone could know. Just takes me longer to decide if the other person has an honest agenda and means well. My anti-socialness has more to do with being extremely shy than being anti-social. I'm more of a bookstore/coffeehouse but all my friends are party animals...

    Any idea how to choose/use cologne..

    What is "true" or "false" of the world can really only apply to the person who is living in that world. What I should I have said was that subjective nature of the world is never true. Mine was full of hate and cruelty, therefore, the world is nothing but hate, everyone in it has a hidden...

    I've had the James Dean comment a couple of times, but I always get the House comment. Before House was on, it was David Spade.

    Smokers and non smokers, what do you do, what do you think?

    Former smoker. I smoked a lot in my teens. As a matter of fact, a number of times my best friend and I would have "Smokefest" at Waffle House and smoke 1 carton apiece until we ran out. That's not including my usual smoking at the time (2 packs). 1 carton on those occassions lasted about 5...

    Any idea how to choose/use cologne..

    That is quite disgusting. My brother will overdo it if he smoked a cig prior to meeting a girl. As for your question concerning me being anti-mainstream for the sake of it, it's a long story. Long story short - I grew up hearing impaired, picked on, yada yada sad story. I was never "picked,"...

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    Not from Golden Era, but people always tell me I look like Dr. House in "House." Resemblance looks harder on camera. On video it's kind of weird. Also note, I am at least 20 years younger than the guy. (I am 29) Him: Me:
