OK, so I might be a little late to respond to this, but oh well.

Wheatables--
Don't put so much pressure on yourself. The girl must be remotely interested, or she would never have agreed to go out with you in the first place. Flowers are nice, but in my opinion, a little cheesy. Do something FUN with her that does not fall into the category of predictable dates. Go to dinner, then do something stupid. Go ride go-karts, go play frisbee, do something unexpected. That is where you'll earn your points. Best date I ever had--guy picked me up, took me to the Italian Inn, then we went and played frisbee, then just sat on the back of his car and talked for a really long time. That's the kind of stuff I like to do--talk, and play frisbee, that kind of thing, so even though another girl might think that night sucked, I loved it. It's all about finding out what SHE likes to do. It's nice to be treated to a night on the town, but it means more if the guy does something because he knows we like it.

Good song: Drowning Pool- Bodies
Good p2p: Morpheus

If you get a chance, there is a simpsons remix of Linkin Park's One Step Closer thats alright, and then the kickass remix of NIN- closer using super mario bros sounds. Its so awesome. Its been out for awhile, but for any of you that dont know about it, download it.

Wheat,
Being from Texas and almost always being a gentleman. So the guy brought her flowers. Take her a single long stem YELLOW rose. Not only can you say it's just a yellow rose of texas, but also that since yellow is the symbol of friendship. And I'm assuming if all goes well in the future, you'll want a girlFRIEND. I dunno, just a thought.

I didnt know that by registering my name, i trademarked it.

Hey, Aggieman, its UT Arlington (university of texas system declared in the texas constitution, a&m made as agricultural branch of the ut system, so a&m is merely a college/branch of ut), show them some respect. Theyve earned it, its not like its lcc or something.

not all girls like flowers? wow, news to me & i know a lot of girls

Thanks...it sounded kinda of stressed but I'm not too worried about where to take her. It's the interaction between us that really matters. The main point was that he brought the flowers and she knows I know this, so I was trying to figure out what to bring insteed, if anything. I've got everything else planned out and originality definitely goes to me on this one.

Wheatables, I was recently in a similiar situation. The girl I was interested in was being pressured by her roommate to go out this guy that was into her. She didn't want to, but also wanted her roommate off her back about it. So she went on the date. Had a good time for all I know. The next night we had a wonderful time. Went to dinner, and not trying to out do the guy the night previous, we just went for drinks, and hung out and talked. It was really a good deal because all these people before are right. She liked me for me, not for where I took her or trying to out do the other guy. and Erin, not every girl likes flowers, ie. my date (wierd I know, but still). And being the closet romantic that I am, decided to just enjoy each others company took one of those horse drawn carriage rides around downtown Dallas. One of the best dates I had been on in a long time. Wheat, just go with the flow.

Trust Erin's opinion. I can vouch for her that she isn't one of those unattractive women who gets all of her knowledge about dating from magazines. She has real experience.

Wheatables- from a girl's point of view...yes, it does not matter where you go or what you do. if she likes you, she likes you. don't try so hard, you don't want to look desperate. but doing something different from the other guy will be cool. p.s.- bringing flowers is always a plus! :)

Wheatables (what's that name about anyway),
Ok, so this girl did all the mushy stuff (dinner, movie, ice cream, etc.) on that date last night, right? Go ahead and start out at Cenare; it's a nice place with good atmosphere. She's thinking, "Gosh, this guy's pretty swell but is this gonna be a carbon copy of last night?" You say, "How about a movie?" She's like, "Great, another movie." That's when you turn on the flava. College Station's only porn movie shop is only ONE BLOCK away from Cenare. Coincidence? I think not. Use the force Luke. Use the force.

you are soooooo correct Monkey- all girls aren't that superficial.. i could care less where i go if i'm into you.. if i'm not it won't matter if you take a star down out of the sky, it won't work.
good luck! and RELAX it's just a date

Okay, here's my 2 cents: Stop worrying about where to take her. Women aren't as impressed with that as much as we think they are. It's more about you. If she likes you then she'll probably have a great time no matter where you go. And if perchance she chooses this other fellow, I say "c'est la vie." You can never tell what tomorrow will bring.

So this is very personal and random, but I could use some advice. There is a girl that I really like, but she had a date with another guy tonight and she is going out with me tomorrow. She didn't want to go out on a date with him, and was practically all about me, but things changed. He got his idea for the date (flowers, oxford street, movie, ice cream) completely from one of his old friends who is also good friends with the girl. This friend is one of my close friends, and he gave this guy the advice months ago for another girl. Oh how it came back to kick me in the ass. The girl completely knows he ripped this date off, but still had fun. He is a massive tool for that in my opinion, but hey...fuggedaboutit. So now that I am worried about my chances and have already been losing sleep before this incident, what do I do? What do I bring her? I know where I am taking her (Cenare) but I have no idea what to bring her or where to take her right after. We are meeting some friends later on at Shadow though. Sorry for turning this into "Loveline", but hey....various opinions matter.

i don't think a birthday party implies balloons, cake, and presents like you're thinking. you've never been to a huge party with tons of drunk people where the excuse for the whole thing in the first place was someone's birthday? damn...

Aggieman-how old you gonna be? I didn't have a party this year...nor last year. Oh well... :) haha

ttyl [btw-still no internet access en mi casa] :(

....was in Arlington last Saturday night for a party. I'm not that familar with the streets around TU-Arlington so I carpooled with a friend. It was a little fun but my friend decided to drive back home a little after midnight so I was only in town for 4 hours...

On a different note for ppl who care: I am having a bday party August 10th.
More info on that later.

As for the Simpson's trivia posted way down there...the song was "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane.

Minimum five year waiting period after they retire. I think there can be exceptions for managers or broadcasters if they are over a certain age when they do call it quits.

Don't they have to wait 3 or 4 years after retirement to me nominated though?

With Cal and Tony on the ballot, they should both get in the first time around. Tony being *much* more deserving though.

By the way, I'll be in Arlington tonight watching Cal Ripken and the O's whoop up on the Rangers. Should be a good game. That poses a question. How soon do you think it will take to have Iron Man Cal inducted into the baseball hall of fame?

Well after trying once again to enroll in classes at UT Arlington, I have concluded I will spending another semester taking bullshit classes at a community college. Apparently someone at OU won't release my transcripts, so I end up getting fucked in the process. Oh well I guess I can look on the bright side. 9 more hours of worthless credit hours that I need to graduate and the firm I work for pays it all. It could be worse. Oh well, thought I'd bitch for second. So Kelly don't feel so bad, I'm in Dallas another semester longer. Boomer Sooner

Brad Pitt's character had a job working at a movie theater when he was younger. He would splice in dirty pictures during the films, but only one single frame within the entire reel---just for laughs, wondering if anyone noticed.

So throughout the movie there are single-frame shots of Brad in scenes where he doesn't belong. If you're looking for it, it's pretty easy to notice. If not, it's still noticeable---just kind of confusing.
