What did we learn today? (Apart from that australian wine rocks.)

[Hailfax]

Haha, that sounds like Zac. I only hung out with him a few times, I only really watched him play hockey. His older brother was in my class grade, so I would talk to his brother more. I think he's also pissed about the Ilya Kovalchuk trade, who knows? I lost touch with Zac and his brothers when I moved to Virginia.

TIL that I've drank nothing but water, and I still have a headache. Headaches that I usually get are from lack of waterrr. ILU, too body.

Haha, that sounds like Zac.

I can totally see it. I was looking at pictures of him on the Yahoo sports page, and almost every picture is of him A) checking someone B) fighting someone or C) about to put some guy's teeth on the ice. Hes' defense, so I guess that's his job, but damn.


One of my favorites.


Last night's fight. It was awesome, one of the best fights I've ever seen.

One of the girls I was with sent one of those text messages that scrolls across the jumbotron. She was proposing to him because she thinks he's cute. It never showed up.

I've never heard of a Stainless Keg. That would be rediculusly heavy. and expensive. Aluminium and Steel are the only materials I've heard of kegs being made of.

Regular steel would rust, making the contents bloody horrible. Chances are, it ain't proper stainless, but some other random steel type that also doesn't rust.

[Hailfax]

Lol, oh Zac. Trying to be cool with the cool kids. XDDD

@ Cobalt, I've been meaning to ask, but what's the deal with the baby bleu jerseys? I know that NC is known for the baby blue, but not GA. Do you have any light on that? I just find it odd that a GA team is rocking the blue instead of the Hurricanes.

TIL that I should probably get myself ready for partying for the Super Bowl. The WHO playing Halftime? HELL YES.

[Dr. McNinja]

The WHO playing HalfLife? HELL YES.

I read it as this at first.

It's officially known as "Thrasher Ice Blue." I haven't the faintest idea why they use that blue. I like the color, but I agree with you. It's kinda strange.

It seems like every Atlanta team had something of a red, white, and blue color scheme (except for the Falcons), but then the Thrashers went to the light blue. I dunno, whatever.

[Ralion]

Today I learned that there's an Animal Crossing movie. What.

Also that Alexiuss is trying to make an animated series based on her Romantically Apocalyptic comic. That should be awesome.

Links.

Steal kegs are lined so they don't rust. Far cheaper then stainless, or aluminum for that matter. However, steal weighs enough that shipping becomes prohibative. That said, stainless weighs just as much, is signifigantly harder to work (I'd know. I've made custom stainless flashings and the like), and costs exponensially more. At least aluminum (which has loads of issues of its own when it comes to working it) is light. And, unlike stainless, doesn't become highly toxic when it oxides. Coating steal with a thin plastic film (which is what they do with steel cans) is cheap, and very effective. And non-toxic.

[Dr. McNinja]

You would've sounded more informed if you had spelt steel right. =P

[Cheez]

Fair enough then.

  TIL just how many people thought that continuously spinning their wheels would get them out of the parking lot.

[Zog]

TIL that there are certain spark plug wires you need to use with an engine that has headers.
...a friend of mine replaced my wires some time ago (and screwed up the sequence) and I took it to a mechanic (who reset the firing order) ...and the mechanic didn't notice or didn't bother to mention that I needed the other kind. Took it BACK to the mechanic after I lost power and he said, "Oh, you had a couple of plug wires sitting on the headers and they melted clean through. ...We put a couple more wires on for you." ...Silly me, I assumed that they also tied the @#$! things up and off the headers. ...not so much. THOSE wires also melted through.
BAH!
Bought some (fairly pricey) plug wires that are rated for extreme heat resistance, and I put them on. Not too bad except that my rather large guitarpaws had some minor issues with the two stupid plugs that sit UNDER header pipes.

Truck runs fine now, at least.

-keg stuff-

Oh yeah, and that's awesome. regular steel would be better, as we'll be hammering it and would rather an easy job than a hard one.

[Ninja]

Today I learned Rep John Murtha died.

Adios, amigo. 

[Achilles]

TIL that I'm having another insomniatic bought. I've been more tired then usual lately, and but have been able to sleep fewer hours. Which is why I'm up at 3:20am.
