    Shark cage diving

    No, it's kind of like the shows on the nature programs on TV. You drop a cage in the ocean (in an area that has sharks), jump into the cage and watch sharks in their natural environment. Sandbar and Galapagos sharks mostly. Here's some info. Definitely don't expect to see any great whites, but...

    Shark cage diving

    At long last, I'm gonna dive into the Pacific to get a close-up look at sharks. I'm pumped. Have any of you ever done this? Any tips (other than don't stick my arms/legs through the bars)? Wish me luck!

    NBA 2008-09 Regular Season Discussion Thread

    Manu Ginobili is out for the season. Let's just go ahead and shut down this thread because what reason is there to keep watching or talking about the NBA? See y'all in 2010.

    FS: Energy C-R3 black surround speaker mint condition $130

    I'm the only/original owner. I used this speaker sparingly before moving to a smaller house with an HT room that did not support a 6.1 setup. The speaker is versatile and in mint condition, and it will come in original box and packaging. If you're thinking about a 6.1 system, and especially...

    Circuit City closing all stores -- watch for bargains coming soon

    My knee-jerk reaction to this news was, "Cool, I'll buy a TV, a new receiver or several blu-rays at deep discounts." But then I remembered 5 years ago. Ultimate Electronics went out of business. I went to their store in Austin after they had their GOING OUT OF BUSINESS signs all over the...

    I SAID be QUIET in the theater!

    I agree it does not justify a shooting, but it makes a shooting more likely. I find it hard to believe that during a funny part of the movie, someone would complain that someone else was laughing. It was probably teens bothering people around them by being too rowdy, but since the parents did...

    I SAID be QUIET in the theater!

    I think that when he said so what, he meant so what if American parents are failing miserably in their responsibility to raise their children to be responsible citizens. Instead, they are contributing to the decay of Western civilization by failing to properly discipline their kids, by defending...

    Introducing the T-Mobile G1

    I bought a couple of G1's for my GF and me. People want to compare it to the I phone, but it's not really intended to be a competitor, from what I read online. So if you're looking for an I-phone clone, this ain't it. I only use the phone for calls and text, so for me this purchase was a...

    Oh no, another existential post

    That could be the case ... we've been on and off for about 10 years. But this post really isn't about that. Somehow, I feel guilty for being just an ordinary guy. My boss talks to me about this, too. He often asks me about my career goals, but phrases it like this: "You want to make a lot of...

    Oh no, another existential post

    Do you ever stop and ask yourself if you're happy? Do you ever stop and ask yourself if your life is what you wanted it to be? I used to ask myself those kinds of questions all the time, but honestly, I had not introspected in a long time. Then, the other day, I watched The Curious Case of...

    I SAID be QUIET in the theater!

    The shooter did what many people would do if not for fear of consequences. Haven't we all encountered A-holes from time to time who disrespect people around him/her? That's why I hate going to the movies, because when I do, I put myself at the mercy of people like that. The only reason I...

    2008 NCAA College Football Thread

    Unbelieveably bad unsportsmanlike conduct call against Washington in the BYU game. I don't care about either team, just watching because it was an entertaining game, but I cussed up a storm on that one. Officials who make calls that bad should immediately be fired from officiating. Not...

    Going thru life being unnoticed

    I noticed that people stopped commenting about my situation/condition as soon as they found out I have a girlfriend. Why is that? My lack of social connections is what caused one of our past breakups. I was depending on her to provide our social life, so this is a serious issue for me, even...

    2008 NBA Playoffs Thread

    To my knowledge (although I only watched game 6), there was little to no coverage or discussion about TV ratings. This goes back to one of my points. The media and bitter fans bring this up about San Antonio only because that's the only thing they have to cling to. Ratings are only an issue when...

    Going thru life being unnoticed

    Tell me about it. You'd think being a Dallas Cowboys and San Antonio Spurs fan in San Antonio, TX, would make it easy as pie to get to know people, but not yet. I know there had to be hundreds of Spurs playoff watch parties, but I was invited to none of them. I knew of none of them. So back to...

    Going thru life being unnoticed

    drobbins, I can relate to a lot of what you said. People just don't know that I'm there. In your post, you said you don't have any interest in typical guy stuff. The funny thing is that I do, yet I can't find any sports nuts like me. If it were to happen a few times, that'd be fine, but for...

    Going thru life being unnoticed

    Hey Brad and others. I've been unpacking and doing other moving-into-a-new-house activities. I didn't realize how many people would chime in, many with feelings similar to mine. Brad, you hit the nail on the head. I'm an introvert, but not by choice. I can't choose to be extroverted, just...

    Going thru life being unnoticed

    Do any of you ever feel invisible? I do, a lot. Always have. I'm an introvert. I'm not funny, at least not by mainstream standards. I'm not cool. Not tall, not rich, not extraordinarily handsome, etc. I am a law-abiding short guy with an average body who makes an honest living. Why does that...

    2008 NBA Playoffs Thread

    Well I watched game 6 last night. zzzzzzzzzzz Someone tell me how that was any better than watching the Spurs in any of their previous Finals? I still find it hard to believe that the Spurs lost to those Lakers. But at 4 games to 1, there's no debate. The Lakers were better, but it's hard to...

    Buying a house ... (gasp)

    It's done! I'm in baby. Wish me luck. I'm having a home theater installer over on Friday to give me an estimate on doing my HT right, with no wires in sight. Take care.

    Buying a house ... (gasp)

    I can only refer to my experience. My GF and I were friends long before we got together, so the break up was civil. But, there was extra paperwork because we were both on the note. This time only I'm on the note. If we were to split again, I'd give her half the equity ... or she'd pay me...
