Is "Big Red" soda a regional thing or is it available in other parts of the US/world?

He is also the trier of all things suspect of having been in the fridge too long

I have the best cared for ants in the neighborhood. When we moved into this house, we noticed these GIANT black ants had an interesting nest in the back yard. I was a bit freaked out after my and my very allergic dogs terrible experience with ants in Florida. I soon discovered these ants to be totally docile and unobtrusive. I decided I like them...

that's kinda ironic, my apartment has been under siege by horrid biting ants that get into EVERYTHING since we moved in.

I'm battling Fire Ants. Yesterday they launched an assault on the bathroom, but I managed to drive them off. And last week I found a nest in the corner of my bedroom!
Well, I guess I got a B in that class. She docked me the exact number of points on my final to fall into a B instead of an A. That kind of pisses me off, because I put forth the same effort I always do and this was a pretty severe docking of points and for nothing, like because she didn't like my opinion....

One of the best things about summer is being able to grill outside, my family knows a ton of southern and Cajun recipes so it's super exciting to be able to bust them out
Ok, well I'm done being political for a while now. Today I will just report that yesterday sucked. I have an outdoor smoker and it has a drip pan in it. Last time I smoked some meat I had lot going on and I forgot to clean out the drip pan as soon as the thing cooled enough to handle it. I ended up forgetting...

I wanna talk about the term "Racist", I also want to talk about the new AZ immigration law SB1070. Bring your hate.
I am so fucking sick to death of the word racist being thrown around like candy. Words like cunt, fuck, tits and even racial slurs say more about the person using the words than they say about the person the word is used...

You make a number of good points. However, I think a lot of people are looking at more than just this one law. I, at least, am looking at a pattern of legislation and proposed legislation, and the pattern indicates a widespread effort not to simply curb or address illegal immigration, but to curb the rights of Hispanics and impose 'whitecentric' standards for society.
As for LA's boycott, the point is to put political pressure on Arizona, not for LA to cut off its nose to spite its face. Is there a lack of conviction in boycotting hotel accommodations but now power? Well, yes, but LA citizens also aren't setting themselves on fire in front of Phoenix courthouses. An LA boycott of Arizona power would result in, at best, a pyrrhic victory for LA. Reasonable people don't go for the pyrrhic victory unless all other options have been exhausted.

Honestly I may not agree with you on everything here but I love that you EXPLAIN yourself fully and use actual facts instead of throwing around scary words to make people feel uncomfortable.

I really like that that Rammstein video.
I went to an Iron Man double feature tonight. Between movies we had like 50 minutes to wait. I thought of this video while day dreaming. It would be awesome if i were to win the lottery and make one of my own.

happy mother's day.
This has been a weapon filled birthday for my son. We built the potato cannon last night and this evening we just finished assembling a "desktop" trebuchet kit, which is actually really big, about knee high. I bought him the more expensive one because it came with wheels and had a wood counterweight bucket but I didn't realize it was at least half again bigger...

Damn! That's a great idea. Maybe I'll get my brother that for a wedding gift! If there are other similar schools in the southeast
zpo:
His friends are going to be jealous that he has such a cool mom. For that matter, I think most of his friend's dads are going to want you to adopt them.
Will we get action shots of potato cannon and trebuchet time?

I decided there is a time in every young mans life where a potato cannon is in order. For my son, his 17th birthday seemed like a good enough time as any.

My semester of school is coming to an end here and I took a semester off for the house we are probably not getting. We went back the bank/seller with a pretty lowball offer, 16% under their asking price and the list of costly repairs (fixing a house on a mountain side is EXPENSIVE!!) and now we are playing more of the waiting game. Since...
