You know what that means? WVU move in weekend! As in 90K extra people in town. :cry:
Hey I just realized you might be knowledgeable about this. Do the hotels in Morgantown get packed for football weekends, or would there still be rooms in town pretty close to the wire? Or am I a moron for not having booked mine a year ago?

Depends on the game and hotel. General rule of thumb is a 2 night minimum Friday and Saturday night, 1-2 week cancellation policy, and a credit card required to reserve.

I'd book right now if I were you.
 
I recently discovered that rice milk with cereal is heavenly. It goes with any cereal.

Though it may be because I tend to buy heavily sweetened rice milk, and I have quite a sweet tooth...
 
I like my milk in ice cream form, cheese form and butter form. Those are the three exceptions I make to my lactose intolerance.
 
AW MAN-I missed the screening of all three uncut Star Warses, THIS SUC-*READS THAT IT WAS CANCELLED*...oh...well, at least I get my money back!
We're getting special screenings of these soonish here in Columbus, OH. Fritz the Niteowl is doing them as a special event for his final season of Niteowl Theater, so we're getting the original cut versions as they'd have been shown on late night TV during the 70's, 80's, and 90's... complete with Niteowl-style info bumpers like he did for his show back in the 80's and 90's.

Sweet, lucky you then!
 
School starts tomorrow. I'm nervous about my son starting High School, but super happy that I get a break from my daughter again. So I am torn. I also have to actually care about when they fall asleep again.

But which theatrical version?

That is, does the crawl for the first movie have a chapter number? Of course, since you didn't see it, I don't expect you can really answer.
 
I'm grading some test translations from our online translation test, taken by people who want to work for us as translators. One guy wrote his Chinese name in the "English name" field, and his English name in the "Chinese name" field.

I'm pondering whether this is enough to fail him already.

Is that something rarely occurring for you gringos?
Well, I can't speak for the Canadians, but most of my life, if there was soup it came from a can. Usually marked "Campbells." My folks, when I was little, did have some bouillon cubes in the pantry, but they never got used.

I once paid a friend a quarter to eat a boulion cube. The bastard actually ate it all. Best quarter I ever spent though.
When I was in high school, as a senior, I had to take an elective and was looking for a blowoff class, so I took pottery. The class was a total blowoff class (Community was right!), but the best thing about it was it was full of freshmen who'd do ridiculous shit for a dollar. I paid one kid a dollar to do a "line" of scraped clay dust like it was cocaine. He did it, straightened up with an odd look on his face, then gave a little cough.. and this big puff of khaki dust came out of his mouth and everybody within 10 feet of him just fell to the ground howling with laughter. Good times.

Reminds me of how some kids in my middle school class tried to get out of a hard test by snorting lines of ground-up chalk. They claimed it would give them a fever, but I don't recall it doing much.
 
Friend of mine once used a mortar and pestle in Chemistry class to ground up Smarties (US Smarties, the chalk-y candy) and Dr Pepper.

He said it didn't taste that great.

In the days before Maruchan ramen:

Float a slice or two of cheddar cheese on top, mmmm...

At Summer camp, one of my cabinmates chopped up and snorted a couple of Aspirin (desperate, I guess?). He got a nosebleed.
