I have two kids and they have taken all my beauty and smarts. They have left me with mommy brain.
I can't remember an appointment if it depended on my life. I draw a blank every so often especially while trying to force myself to remember something super important.
I spend at least 2hrs on the computer updating our family calendar with appointments, activities, outings, and daddy's military duties. I keep track of my grocery list along with coupons and print them out when I'm ready to go to the store because lord knows if things were left on the table little man would certainly get to them.
The one thing I can't do is take this desktop computer with me everything must be printed and still remembered.
If only I had an HP MINI my life would be so simple. I would know that while I was busy with little man at the doctors I had missed my very important MRI. That's mommy brain for ya!
The best part about maybe one day having an Hp Mini would be never missing an e-mail from my husband when he is away with the military. It would mean instant communication if I could take it with me while out with the kids running errands trying to continue a semi normal life without him. Or even better we could web call each other since it has a built in cam! This means I could show him little lady taking her first steps!!! I know the day when my husband will leave us is coming up real soon and this is one way of keeping us together.
So here is your chance to simplify your life. I have entered the Simplify My life Sweepstakes at Mom Bloggers Club by writing about how this mini would simplify my life. You can also win by commenting on my post. If chosen as the winner 3 of my lucky readers who commented will also receive this beauty here the HP MINI 110 series (isn't she gorgeous!)
So come on and leave a comment! How would this Hp mini simplify your life?
Check out this video of Dara Torres she is an Olympic Gold Medal winner and she uses the Hp Mini! Check out why!

Thread: Imladris Player vs. Player
Jun 18 2012 12:00 AM #1
Valacirca loves me, but all servers know they SUCK!
View below to see why small servers suck, think players would resort to such extreme measures if there were more people? No. See how they just keep going? It's because they are hypocritical just like people from small towns. Surprisingly both are very much alike. They all trash talk in their little formed groups that do not welcome new members. These people don't know me, they have never quested with me. Exploitation has been happening since the dawn of video games. You think in 5-10 years when LotRO is old news that people are going to care how one made it to leaderboards? No, all they want to know is who was #1 real quick then be on their way.
To anybody starting on Imladris just know that there is a much larger and much more friendly community on the Brandywine server. The reason you are dying can be placed on your kinship but in reality its your server.
Anyway, love how you are all taking time to hate mail me
Keep the posts coming so I can brag to my bros about how bad all these people got at me over a video game LOL. You can't beat me, at any game.Last edited by Isdring; Aug 15 2012 at 11:01 PM.

Re: Imladris Player vs. Player
Why do you need a group in freepside if all you do is farm your freavers over and over?
You got r6 really fast and I have only seen you farming your freavers, not pvping.
First learn to be a good player and not a noob, if you want to join raids earn your rank by the conventional ways, not farming yourself
Jun 18 2012 11:44 AM #3
Re: Imladris Player vs. Player
hey, hubhealer's entitled to his opinion, which i'm sure many people on the server share.
you ARE a noob and the way you play reflects that. how you conduct yourself on the server is indicative of why people treat you the way they do. stop being half a nub and stop being such a troll and maybe people will be more receptive to playing with you.
Jun 18 2012 11:44 AM #4
Re: Imladris Player vs. Player
I do have idea of what I'm talking about. I saw your 5-6 freavers running around with ./follow on one going back from rez to different places and just standing there, waiting for you to come and kill them for free renown. I have stopped you from doing this 3 times now(with other people), by killing you and healing your freavers to deny your free renown or by going freep to kill the freavers before you do.
I'm not trolling, I'm sure everyone who has ranked(both freep or creep) by the normal methods will agree you're dumb.
I'm keeping the discussion pretty civil, I asked you why you needed a group to farm yourself so I'm sticking to the point,
You're obviously not trying to interest people on real pvp by showing them how fast you can get r6 by farming yourself rather than pvping with other people.Last edited by Inglaran; Jun 18 2012 at 11:49 AM.

Re: Imladris Player vs. Player
Foster you noob, you have been playing in moors for how long, 1 week? who are you to tell what freeps should do? Using multiboxing is so lame specially in moors to rank up. I hope you keep your promise and transfer to other server when you are finished with this noobish thing you are doing. In the meantime, you are not welcome to join any freeps groups as long you keep doing multiboxing. And If i find you in moors, i'm gonna kill all your little reavers so you cant get renow. And its not just me, i talked to a lot other freeps, we all will do the same. It doesnt matter if you rank 1 or rank 10, you are still gonna be a noob for doing things like that.

Re: Imladris Player vs. Player
that's hilarious! DrPepper calling for his thread to be deleted or locked due to violations of the CoC.
maybe you should be more concerned over violations of the EULA when it comes to your renown farming. i would encourage every creep on the server to go after you when you're freepside and vice versa when you're on your fail creep. not like you had any respect to lose, but you're just lower than low.
btw, what does "knows your labels" mean?

Re: Imladris Player vs. Player
Who cares if you are climbing rapidly on the leaderboards, we all know its a fake rank and besides you miss the point of all PVP concept. Farming yourself to rank up? pathetic. As long you keep acting like that, no one will invite you, thats for sure. So you do what ya gotta do, play MMORPG alone, farm yourself alone and rank up alone, i hope you have fun with that. The rest of us will PVP for real. And by the way, iam not Nya, my toon is Liz, its on my signature.
Jun 18 2012 08:58 PM #9
Re: Imladris Player vs. Player
so what you're doing is tantamount to blackmail and you're flaunting that?
"invite me to raid/fellowship or i will continue to farm renown"?
i've seen some really ###### things on the server during my time here but this really beats all. you're essentially using your farming in some misguided attempt to hold the PvP hostage.
Congratulations. You will now be known as DrFoster, Massengill, throughout your travels.

Re: Imladris Player vs. Player
Threads like these are what keep me coming back to these forums. Every few months some new guy walks through the 'moors for a few days and suddenly he knows everything there is to know about the server. He decides it is his sole purpose to post a thread on the forums that will inspire the people of LOTRO to some greater cause and make the Ettenmoors "more fun" for all of us. Its adorable. The reason the map is typically red is because creeps NEED the keeps to be red so they can quest for maps. Freeps tend to not care as much because they don't get maps. Also, the 'moors are the only place creeps can go, so if someone wants to play their creep they will be out there. Freeps on the other hand have the entire game world to explore and enough PvE content to make flipping keeps seem pointless. People also tend to play with people they know or are familiar with in the 'moors. On a small server such as Imladris cliques form naturally. If you do something they don't like they aren't going to invite you. I'm not even going to get into the "which side is better off" debate. All I'm going to say is that if you are having trouble out there as a freep, its probably because you're bad. Oh, your comment about not bringing trolling to the forums was adorable as well. You should spend some time reading the Imladris PvMP forums. You know, the forum that this thread should have been posted in.
Anyways, welcome to Imladris! You must be new.
And to everyone crying about him ranking up without PvPing; What? Turbine made it so you can rank just fine without PvPing anyways. Rank no longer has meaning in this game in regards to how much one PvPs, so why care?

Also, your a tool and should stop farming yourself.

Multiboxing? Makes me want to log back on just to eat him Got a new headset and kind of want to test it out also.. hmm..
Anyways, like Danigar said, rank has very little meaning now, so your little "threat" about climbing the leaderboards has no one worried. I could name plenty of rank 4's that I'm sure could still put up a better fight than you by the time you reach rank 10+. I don't look at someone's rank when I fight them, I watch how well they play. And if you're ranking through farming you're going to fall behind in PvP skills, just like those who rank primarily through quests. Not that I'm anything special, but I'd be a whole lot worse if I had PvE'd/farmed my way up. There's some Freeps/Creeps who have earned their rank, some who haven't, and some in between. Can't tell just by looking at their rank.
Oh, and grats to Apache on Rank 12 He's definitely earned it.

Go ahead and keep farming your renown. I assure you, you don't have one iota of respect from me or anyone I know.
The moors isn't about rank or keeping the map blue; it's about pvp. There are freep raids every day, but you probably weren't invited. If you want to actually have fun here, I suggest you reconsider your play style.

Ok, first you make a post telling other people how they should play in the moors, then you tell them they should mind their own business? Sounds a bit contradictory.
Yeah, its one of the newest servers and also one of the lowest, if not the lowest population servers. Grats on figuring that one out.
Love you too!Last edited by Ammath88; Jun 21 2012 at 09:37 PM.

Sheriff's deputies say 69-year-old Vincentia Smith of Elba was heading west on North Byron road when she drifted off of the road.
Smith was transported to UMMC where she later died.
Deputies are still investigating the cause of the crash. "We will examine the vehicle to determine if there was any malfunction in the steering or the wheels. If they come back fine and everything comes back fine, yeah, this could just be one that we never know the reason why it happened," said Investigator Timothy Weis with the Genesee County Sheriff's Office.
Weis says there's no indication that Smith slowed down before the collision.

Central Michigan LIFE Volume 79, Number 48 Mt. Pleasant, MI 48859 ©1998 CM LIFE 78 years of serving the community MONDAY JANUARY 19,1998 14 pages Bernice King to speak of her father, her book By Bridget Perkins LIFE Staff Writer About 1,000 students, faculty and staff are expected to attend a presentation by keynote speaker Rev. Bernice A. King, youngest daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Warriner Auditorium. Bernice King, the only child of King to enter the ministry, will be KING Dr. dis cussing her first book, entitled "Hard Questions, Heart Answers," which is a collection of her sermons and speeches. King's speech will address important issues such as gun control, teen pregnancy, the death penalty and racism. "She will be able to provide us with personal knowledge of her dad," said James Mitchell, assistant director for Minority Student Services. "Dr. King's dream was to promote unity among all races and having Ms. King gives us some of that presence. "We are really publicizing it. With Ms. King being the daughter of Dr. King, it should be a draw within itself." Jeff Boykin, Holly senior and president of Program Board, said he is anticipating an attendance of 800- 1,000 faculty, staff and students at this event. Boykin said Bernice King will be able to give a straightforward message which would be more effective than having it delivered by someone not as close to Dr. King. "We got a tip that she is the most influential," Boykin said. Remembering Dr. King's legacy and better understanding what he stood for are goals Boykin expects to achieve Tuesday night. Mitchell said the audience will benefit by understanding the struggle African Americans went through, their close ties to religion and how the church played a significant role in the Civil Rights movement. To make this event possible, Boykin said financial contributions were made by the Program Board, Cultural For more coverage of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, see page 7.

King's birthday observed without day off By Julia Jones LIFE Assistant News Editor In celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. and his life, some Michigan universities get the day off. Today is recognized as a national holiday; thus, banks, post offices and other governmental agencies, as "well as many factories, will be closed. But that's not the case at CMU. Students and faculty at these schools did get to sleep in a little longer today: Eastern Michigan University, Western Michigan University and Wayne State University, according to their web sites. Information on other schools from around the state was unavailable, but the University of Michigan has several events planned for the day. It has been rumored that students who have the belief that they should have the day off may call Student Life and be excused, but a source inside the Student Life office said that is not true. CMU Provost Richard Davenport said, to his knowledge, there has been no recent discussion on the issue here. The calendar is put together several years in advance with input from the board, the Faculty Association and the President," Davenport said. "It's not a single body that decides." The calendar has been set up to spring 2000, but Davenport said it can still be changed. He said to change the calendar, a proposal would have to be brought forth to the Board of Trustees. "No one has proposed the day be observed as a holiday," he said. A proposal to change the academic calendar may be brought about by anyone. Weight-cutting: wrestling's crash diet £? «^r SABRINA BURTON • CM LIFE The CMU wrestling team began practice Friday after* noon to get ready for their meet at Eastern on Sunday. TONY CEPAK • CM LIFE After the deaths of three collegiate wrestlers by "cutting weight" before a meet, questions have arisen concerning the extreme measures that some wrestlers go to in order drop a couple of pounds to make weight before a meet. By John Fuller LIFE Sports Writer Body weight has played a large role in the sport of wrestling to ensure that athletes of relative size compete in a battle of agility and strength. However, not until 1997 did the weight-loss practices of -wrestlers fall under the national spotlight following the deaths of three collegiate athletes. These were the first deaths directly related to wrestling since it became a college sport in 1928. Billy Saylor of Campbell University, Joe LaRosa of the University of Wisconsin, and Jeff Reese of the University of Michigan were the three wrestlers who died while trying to cut weight near the end of 1997. All three collapsed during or after workouts to make weight for upcoming matches. Medical personnel were unable to revive all three men. Their deaths put wrestling under the watchful eye of the NCAA and people across the country. The deaths shook the wrestling world, including those with ties to CMU. "I was really saddened. Wrestling is a pretty tight-knit community, so you know those people," CMU wrestling coach Tom Borrelli said. "We competed against Jeff Reese from the University of Michigan. He's wrestled against us in dual meets and in tournaments, and I recruited Billy Saylor." All three died of severe dehydration, as all were trying to cut at least 10 pounds or more. Their deaths are still under NCAA investigation. H Is cutting weight Healthy? While some worry about the long term health effects of the rapid weight loss methods used by wrestlers, some athletes don't consider weight-cutting anything out of the ordinary. "We're just like normal people on diets," said 177-pound Mike Greenfield, a tri-captain of the CMU wrestling team. His statement adds more fire to the ethical question: Do college wrestlers train and compete in a healthy manner? Wrestlers often go to a higher extreme than other athletes, many times wearing rubber suits and sitting in saunas for long periods of time to lose weight. Many have questioned the methods used to cut weight for years, but the issue is bigger than ever now that tragedy has struck. "Wrestlers have a warrior mentality and they're going to push themselves to the limit, and there's got to be some sensibility," Borrelli said. The issue of how much a person weighs is more important in -wrestling than in any other sport. There are 10 different weight classes, ranging from 118 pounds to heavyweight, which includes anyone over 190 pounds. Each weight class is about 10 pounds apart from the next. Carolyn Hoffman, a sports and cardiovascular nutritionist and associate professor of Human Environmental Studies, said quick -weight loss methods can lead to heart problems. "From the sports nutrition aspect, the greatest danger is dehydration; and when you have dehydration, you have a drastic decrease of electrolytes in the body, including potassium," Hoffman said. "The decrease in electrolytes is exceedingly dangerous," she said. "When someone is losing weight quickly, that's the culprit." ■ Wrestling deaths force NCAA rule changes In December, the NCAA put together a committee to discuss possi- See WEIGHT-CUTTING Page 14 Detroit board workshop addressed issues without SGA knowledge INSIDE By Julia Jones LIFE Assistant News Editor The Board of Trustees workshop Wednesday in Detroit has raised some concern with student government. Adam Miller, president of the Student Government Association and Paw Paw senior, said he "was not informed of the scope of the board workshop. "I knew there was a workshop coming up. I didn't know the substance of the workshop," Miller said. Miller said he -was concerned he was not informed the board would be discussing four major issues at the upcoming workshop. He said he was not aware the board would be discussing the vision statement, Public Broadcasting, recruitment and retention and charter schools — four issues he said SGA will be looking at closely this year. "My responsibility is to seek out proper representation. I kind of felt that student representation wasn't a major priority by the board," Miller said. Rae Goldsmith, associate vice president of Public Relations and Marketing, said workshops are nothing new to the university. She said other than the vision statement, which several organizations on campus, including SGA, gave written input to, See WORKSHOP Page 6 False alarm sends firefighters to Park Library late Sunday evening LIFE Staff Reports At 10:01 p.m. Sunday, the Mount Pleasant Fire Department received a call from someone inside Park Library who said they smelled smoke, a source who works for CMU said. Those inside the library did not evacuate while several firefighters went inside the building to try and locate the source of the smoke. Lee Schafer, Mount Pleasant firefighter, said firefighters went through the entire building, including the elevator engines, shafts, mechanical rooms, etc., but found nothing. Several sources contacted late Sunday night declined comment. "Tve been told that all information has to come from Capt. Williams or Detective Pickler," said McCarther Griffis, CMU Police officer. There was no alarm pulled, Schafer said. CMU women's basketball beat rival Western at Rose Arena Saturday. See page 8.

This case is one in a trend of increasing numbers of snowmobile accidents this year, which has prompted a legislative proposal. According to the Isabella County Sheriffs Department, Guy Mason Russell was driving his snowmobile around 3 a.m. on Littlefield Road when he failed to stop at the intersection of Littlefield Road and Rustic Hill Drive. Hie snowmobile left the road where it struck a tree head-on. Police attribute the cause of the accident to speed and alcohol. A passenger on the snowmobile, Jason Alan Winter, 27, of Ludington, received minor injuries from the accident. Winter said he jumped off the snowmobile before impact. Russell was transported to Mid- Michigan Regional Medical Center in Clare where he was pronounced dead at 5:45 a.m.. Earlier this week, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources said even though the state has been having light snow this year, snowmobile related deaths are up from last year, the Associated Press reported. So far, at least 15 people have been killed this season in snowmobile crashes, compared with 10 at this time a year ago. This is crazy," Department of Natural Resources Lt. Suzanne Kopello told the Detroit Free Press for a story TTiursday. Kopello runs the DNR's hunter and snowmobile safety division. "I was hoping the lack of snow would mean we have less snowmobile fatalities than last year, but now I wouldn't bet on it," she said. "I don't know what they're running See SNOWMOBILE Page 6

I'm up for anything, although I prefer modern supernatural elements or something mythological, perhaps. For some reason, the Greek gods of death and darkness seemed like an idea for an RP. Not sure how that would manifest. Seriously, I'm open to anything. I won't necessarily want to do it, but I'm willing to bounce off ideas until I get one or we can all agree on something.

Teaching and Learning in the Digital Age:
Reconceptualizing the Introductory Survey Course
This web project offers historians models for how to use digitized primary sources in survey courses in World History and the History of the Americas. The topics of the models vary, as does the technological sophistication. (Click for a guide to and summary of participant projects.) The AHA hopes that history faculty from technological novices to experts can find something of use from perusing this site.
How to use:
The site includes approaches to entire courses such as World Civilizations or probes of a specific subject such the Republic of Biafra.
Some of the sites, such as Migration and the American South, could be completely adopted in a course as "post holes" where teachers want to give their students in-depth knowledge of a subject.
Some of the sites show how a survey course incorporates digitized primary materials. These courses could simply be adopted or modified to meet the individual needs of faculty.
All the sites are models. They all suggest various ways of using digitized materials in courses. They open different possibilities for teachers to be creative in their survey courses for group or individual projects as well as ways that teachers can present materials. Certain sites such as Sue Patricks', overlap with other presentations such as World Civilizations: the Middle Period (600-1650) and World Civilizations II. Both Web Modules for Teaching American History and Discovering American Social History on the Web discuss the Triangle Fire. Thus, the visitor to the site can see how faculty approaches the same material differently and ask different sets of questions. Historians do not use a "one size fits all" in their teaching or their research.
The Primary Source Links are sites that teachers can use to incorporate into their own courses.
Each syllabus suggests assessment ideas for using primary sources and there is additional assessment information under Student Assessment Model.
The reflective essays for each project allow the user of this to see how faculty have thought about the challenges involved in using the internet and primary sources in their courses. They explain what worked and what did not work for them.
Different technological techniques are used on the site. For example, Contemporary World Since 1945 incorporates video while Like A Family: The Making of a Southern Cotton Mill World uses audio.
For another example of a course using technology and primary materials, see John McClymer's syllabus for "19th Century U.S." at http://www.assumption.edu/users/McClymer/his260/
So Come join us.
Wander around the AHA's intellectual and pedagogical food court, taking ideas and techniques from different models with you when you leave.

On Collaboration:

For another model of two and four year faculty collaboratives, see the QUE project at Shaping the Preparation of Future Social Science and Humanities Faculty and Preparing Future Faculty.
Future Plans:
We see this site as a perpetual work in progress. If you have curriculum that uses digitized primary sources, the AHA plans to add one or two more models or links a year. Just contact us at teaching.

Hi all --
John got his letter today. Can anyone explain to me why/how it's a 'combined rating' for 100%?
Is it worth it for me to appeal any of these decisions?? John can't get higher than 100%??
"We assigned a permanent 100% disability evaluation for your service connected disabilities effective November 30, 2009."
"We granted basic eligibility to Dependents' Educational Assistance, established November 30, 2009."
"...overall combined rating is 100%."
Peripheral Neuropathy, right upper extremity 50% rationale--levels of DDT found in water which has a direct link of having side effects of
peripheral neuropathy
Depressive disorder, 50% (secondary to PN)
PN, left upper extremity 40%
PN, left lower extremity 30%
PN, right lower extremity 30%
Hepatic Steatosis 20% (50/50 probability) caused by or a result of exposure to toxins/waterborne contaminants at Camp LeJeune.
rationale -- you have had exposure to contaminants that are known hepatoxins and are known to cause hepatic steatosis.
Chronic Fatigue Sydrome DENIED rationale--this condition has not yet been identified in all of the current research regarding side effects form the contaminated water through Camp Lejeune.
Double vision DENIED rationale--this condition has not yet been identified in all of the current research regarding side effects form the contaminated water through Camp Lejeune.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for everyone's support and input. It's been a long haul. We've still got a long road ahead of us, but at least now I can take a deep breath and not work so hard to keep food on the table.
Jim Fontella--you are the best!! Without your long telephone calls and endless e-mails, I could NOT have ever put together such a supporting claim - Thank you!!
If I can offer any guidance/help/support to anyone here...please feel free to reach out; as this site is what kept our fight going.
John's wife...

The advantage of Saint Gervais is that is a real town where you can explore everything from Le Fayet to Bettex, the skiing, through to the authentic Savoyard village of Saint Nicolas de Saint Gervais or Véroce and its historic centre with its typical spa-town architecture. Whether you choose to walk, explore, ski or snowboard... On the paths, trails, freeride spots or in the snowpark, whatever you choose you'll be overlooked by a picturesque Mont Blanc. Enjoy hot air ballooning, paragliding or the Tramway du Mont Blanc, just a taste of the myriad of activities offered at St. Gervais that allow you to indulge your every whim. The Tramway du Mont Blanc is one of the last three narrow-gauge railways in France today. In the winter it allows access to skiing in Prarion / Bellevue (1800 m). In the summer taking you to the foot of Bionnassay Glacier at Nid d'Aigle situated at 2372 m in altitude. From there, experienced and well equipped mountaineers enjoy access to the Tete Rosse and the Gouter mountain huts where they rest before the ascension of Mont Blanc. Besides skiing and mountaineering, St. Gervais is also known for its thermal baths. Since 1806, the Baths of St. Gervais-les-Bains have been reputed for the treatment of dermatological conditions. The treatments use the Saint-Gervais-les-Bains natural thermal water which has anti-inflammatory qualities, gently soothing and healing the skin. In addition, St. Gervais-les-Bains baths show characteristics of dual pathology that treat Asthma and Eczema, both very common in children.

The risk of infertility increases with each episode of PID. * An abscess in or near the ovaries (tubo-ovarian abscess) * Inflammation of the Bartholin glands * An ectopic (tubal) pregnancy * Chronic pelvic pain * Infertility * Fitz-Hugh–Curtis syndrome (rare) Don't go near Alex, she got gonorrhea from that gang bang. Ugh, she has an abscess in her ovaries. Gross...
5. | gonorrhea | ||
A sexually transmitted disease caused by gonococcal bacteria (bacteria, yay we can kill it! -- unlike AIDs, a virus, for those ignorant) that affects the natural lube/discharge producing areas of the nether regions, and is characterized by gross pus shit coming out of your instrument and painful or difficult urination, though women often have no detectable symptoms -- other than having insides which feel as though a beehive has been planted in them. Poor guy, should've used a condom to feel around the crusty tinkers... maybe he could've prevented an outbreak of gonorrhea :(

gonorrhea can get into ones blood stream and cause meningitis (inflammation of the brain) or endocarditis (an infection of the heart). There was this girl once. She smelled of fish and dirty sex, and if you saw her without her pants, she had this green ooze coming out of her vagina.
Her boyfriend always had stains on his pants from the yellowish goo that came out of his penis. Thats how we found out they had gonorrhea. |

2. | McDank | ||
The ultimate McDonald's creation. Step 1. Buy a McDouble and a McChicken
Step 2. Separate the McDouble by the paties so there are two buns with a pattie on each. Step 3. Place McChicken in between McDouble. Step 4. Consume McDank to your heart's content. (preferably paired with God Nectar) |
1. | McDank | ||
A special meal only attainable through the combination of two McDonald's dollar menu items. A McDank results from placing an entire chicken sandwich, bread included, firmly in between the two meat patties found in a double cheeseburger. While many variations to the the McDank exist a few common alterations include
-No mayonaisse on the chicken sandwich. -Opting to remove the lower bun prior to inserting the McChicken. -If you are not currently a pussy, you may wish to use the double quarter pounder sandwich as the meat is delectable. -Some may not wish lettuce upon their sandwich. -Barbeque sauce may be used in desperate situations. -Squashing the completed sandwich may make it easier to eat for those with unfortunately small mouths. -Placing french fries in between the patties prior to McChicken insertion. -Placing french fries in between the patties after the McChicken is placed firmly in the sandwich. -Not placing french fries in between the patties at all, instead eating them on the side. -Also you may not order french fries at all, for a McDank is a formidable meal even without french fried potatoes. National McDank Day is currently held in 21 countries on the twentieth day of the fourth month. While the origins of the name of the McDank is somewhat of a mystery, many urban legends have it that a legendary trapper named Dank Smiggins first made the McDank while stranded in the Siberian wilderness. Forced to choose between starvation in the cold tundra... |
3. | McDank | ||
the act of mixing a McDouble and a hot and spicy McChicken Mom: "what did you have for dinner last night"
Dave: "a McDank" |
4. | McDank | ||
A creation brought about by the smartest of all mankind. a McChicken is placed in between two patties of a McDouble creating the perfect blends of flavors. Joe: This McDank is fucking delicious.
John: It's like my tongue is having an orgasm! |
5. | McDank | ||
a McChicken and a Double cheeseburger from Mcdonalds prepared in such a way that they are stacked on top of each other Oh man those Mcdanks were delicious
6. | mcdank | ||
the false name for a mcgangbang, which consists of 2 mcdoubles and a mcchicken in the middle and eaten in one burger. the term mc"dank" comes from the douchebaggery of the recent slang trend of the word dank. Guy 1: ya dude. i'm gonna get a mcdank
Guy 2: *shakes head* its not called a mcdank it's called a mcgangbang |

"Ah; people just don't dress like that anymore." How many times have you heard someone say that, usually while looking at an old film or photograph? And how many of you believed it? I know I did, for a very long time.
I spent my teenage years during the seventies, which to me was just one big, long mountain range of endless polyester. Seasonal dressing, as far as I knew, didn't really exist. The only difference back then in dressing for warm, cool, or cold weather was the addition or subtraction of a synthetic sweater, jacket, or coat. Old films and photos were the only places I saw texture, weight, or richness of fabric, so, being just a kid, I assumed those things were extinct. You won't be surprised to hear that I was shocked, actually shocked, the first time I saw—in the flesh, so to speak—a pair of heavy flannel trousers, and a real Harris Tweed jacket. Actually, I should think anyone would be shocked when first seeing Harris Tweed—the heaviness, the intensity of the colors, the texture—all good fabrics, to me anyway, have a magical quality about them. The first time I saw linen I went quietly berserk, and remain the world's biggest fan of that fabric, wrinkles and all.
So then, I surmised, these fabrics did still exist; it was possible to dress like the old movie stars—
But I was puzzled by one thing: why weren't more men doing it? Obviously a certain large number could be dismissed for simply not caring about clothes, or being rightly shocked at the expense, but ALL of them?
I began to realize that when people say 'they just don't dress like that anymore,' in their heads they were probably thinking, "Mere humans CAN'T dress like that—it's impossible." In other words, they see the old stars as sartorial gods you can't compete with, and that is sad. And totally untrue.
I happen to think that Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., was one of the best-dressed men I've ever seen. This afternoon, I was flipping through my Doyle New York catalog of the Fairbanks auction, which took place last year. I don't know why I didn't notice it before, but I was mildly surprised to find that Fairbanks occasionally wore wool fedoras and one-sided cufflinks. You could not pay me to do either.
Now if you think I'm just beating up on a defenseless dead man, or that I'm placing myself on a sartorial par with Fairbanks, you're entirely missing the point. One of my favorite episodes of the old 'STAR TREK' is when Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Scottie are sentenced to death on an alien planet by re-enacting the shootout at the O.K. Corral. Since they must play the part of the Clantons (who lost), and history cannot be changed (?), there is no apparent way out. How do you compete with history? Spock tells them how—he knows the bullets aren't real, and using his Vulcan 'mind-meld,' he convinces them, too. Essentially, he is telling them that the 'emperor'—the bullets—have no 'clothes.' In the ensuing gunfight they are impervious, and the Earps and Doc Holliday get blown away.
Well, I'm not Spock, I'm not Vulcan, and even if I was both I'm not in the same room with you, so a 'mind-meld' would be out of the question (although the mental image of my pinching the side of a guy's nose and mouth with thumb and forefinger, while staring into his eyes and repeating the mantra, "You can dress just like the Duke of Windsor" is kinda funny). Still, I'd like to take a shot at convincing you that the old movie stars were guys, not gods. I won't do this by tearing them down, or by using worn-out clichés like "they put their trousers on one leg at a time, like everyone else." That won't work. I think there's a shorter, more direct, more motivational approach.
Let's take all the guys now living who care about clothes. They can be broken down into two groups: the ones who are intimidated by the old icons, and the ones who aren't. The former group is certainly well-dressed technically, but the latter group has more glamour and dash about them. Yes; it's visible. Which group would you rather belong to?
Remember, the old icons were just guys. Guys with a whole LOTTA help. $150 bespoke suits and $100 bespoke shoes sound dirt cheap to us now, but this was at a time when fifty cents would buy a full dinner for two people. During the Great Depression, the average off-the-rack suit cost fifteen dollars.
Few movie stars run to the tailors today. They run to the gym—and then hide their chiseled physiques under some of the ugliest clothes imaginable. Unlike stars of today, who are almost uniformly good-looking from birth, the stars of the thirties weren't always good-looking to start out with: Clark Gable, before he learned how to groom himself, was hideous. Now if you take a guy, groom him, and dress him in head-to-toe bespoke, you know what he's going to look like next to the average Joe? You got it—a god. But remember the alchemy is visual, not literal. Anything that was done to them can also be replicated on you.
If you think any of the icons were somehow more deserving than you are, you are doing yourself a tremendous disservice. Let me be really specific here: if you truly want to dress in that league, you cannot think they were even SLIGHTLY better than you are, not even by so much as an ounce. As Spock said to Kirk, even the tiniest doubt would be fatal. Andre Churchwell, for example, is clearly intimidated by no one—and it shows. He is the Real Tabasco, and looks more like a Laurence Fellows drawing come to life than any man past or present. Speaking of past or present, if those two temporal concepts could be eliminated, I'd say that Fred Astaire was trying to dress like Bruce Boyer, rather than the opposite.
So, in the simple words of Universal Pictures founder Carl Laemmle, Sr.: "It can be done." When it comes to the old icons, admire their presentation by all means. Learn from them. Just don't deify them.

The cool spring has finally ushered in May flowers. I love cut flowers from the garden. There is a simple, happy satisfaction that comes from picking a bundle of peonies for the kitchen worktable. Just be sure to shake the ants off first. The other thing about a cool spring with adequate rain fall is that the weather is acting as a sort of preservative: all those beautiful blooms are lasting much longer than normal.
