you look like a midwestern househusband. something about those slacks isn't working for me. i do like the shirt/sweater/jacket combo, and those shoes look comfy and well-suited to your activity. also, it looks like the DC/UK environment has done wonders for your complexion.

anyway, i think that it's so cool that i got to do this. it's all very nice buying expensive clothes and cars, but actually using my illegitimate money to see the world (lol) and discover things that i've only read about or seen in movies is just a phenomenal opportunity. i've thought a lot about this, and i'm so very glad that i've had the chances that i've had when i'm young. i'll make jokes and all, but i feel very fortunate to be where i am, doing what i'm doing.

i have never regretted money spent on travelling (many, many BBs worth). good job taking full advantage of your situation.

besides, to quote the late, great, lester bangs, "anybody who doesn't jack off at least three times a day is a queer."

i pleasure myself manually with great frequency but also like humping dudes. where does this leave me vis-à-vis mr. bangs's supposition?

i can't tell if it's the pants or the shoes or both. granted, i like my pants wider than most fashionable people do (i need room in there!).

i was in switzerland/france/germany for 11 days on a family history trip, seeing our ancestors' homesteads and such and seeing some cool places along the way. i was so happy to get to bern on monday after being in the country for 4 days. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]


warning: lots of pics and i resized them, but if they still break your thread, make a bookmark with this (all the code together on one line):

javascript:maxwidth=800;pi=document.getElementsByT agName("img");for(var%20i=0;
i<=pi.length;i++){var%20aspectratio=(pi.item(i) .height/pi.item(i).width);
if(pi.item(i).width>maxwidth){pi.item(i).width= maxwidth;pi.item(i).height=aspectratio*maxwidth;}}

For the beer club:

This was awful when it was cold, but got better as it got warm


Got this at the Swiss/German border because: I needed Euros and I needed a beer (you decide which was more urgent)...was delicious


At lunch with very salty ham and potatoes...very good


Got 2 33 cL (~12 oz) bottles for 1.30 euro each at the supermarket (Monoprix) and had them at night in Molsheim... [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Chimay




On a cruise down the Rhine (but going north!) in 50F weather and rain...We needed these to stay warm...had what's on the glass first and then had this afterward (I didn't write down what it was [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] )

[Xylocain]

Same star in both hands. He surely knows how to push weak hands in marginal situations -- BTW how bad is my play pf in both hands? As played, stab flop or turn in hand 1 against unknowns?

Edit, added vils cards to hand 1

[MrWookie]

I raise hand 1 preflop, but as played, the flop and turn aren't bad. Hand 2 preflop isn't that bad, actually.

[B2_eBoogaloo]

franzikaner is pretty good--should be easy to get in the US

[MrWookie]

Yeah, I bought it by the case over the summer. It was a pretty decent buy, given that it was an import.
