I had expected to be dead before my 30th birthday, oh god why do you curse me with life.

I am impressed at the correct Star Trek references in the Bat'leth thread.

Also, I strongly suspect they did not rotate my tires. My left front tire was a little soft when I brought it in this morning, and looking at it now, it looks exactly the same, I'm sure that tire is the same one as this morning and therefore wasn't rotated.
Also, we had snow last night, the wheel covers were pretty dirty and there are no marks on them like someone had touched them to take them off.
We get our car fixed at a place run by an old mechanic that retired from Honda (so he basically only fixes Honda cars) but this guy is super honest and when my grandfather when in to have something major replaced on his Accord, he told him there was no charge for seniors!

Why isn't the MMA thread in the 'other sports' forum?

I was talking with my brother and we were discussing how its weird that given most people are built with the same brain capacity that one person can do something that the other can't. For instance he and I come from the same parents are interested in similar activities and are close in age and yet I can't do calculus to save my live but he can, and he can't write an essay but I can very well.

I find the song "Kids" by MGMT extremely catchy...it gets overplayed on x92.9 everyday but I can't get enough of it. And for your viewing and listening pleasure....

Hair loss. I have alot of respect for dudes that embrace it and shave it short and get on with life. Nothing says "I'm in denial" like a combover. And I'm pretty sure that chicks are comfortable with dudes that are a little thin on the top of the head, considering that friggin half of all men are pattern bald. Sure there are some girls that would be too cool to check out a guy that is losing his hair, but those chicks are probably full of themselves anyway. Dudes that can still stand up straight and look a girl in the eye, even though they're going bald, are not guys that are going bald. They're guys that are normal, confident members of society. The skulking geeks with the slouching shoulders and the mul-de-sacs are the people that women consider "bald".

Don't sweat it, man. Every woman knows that there's a very high liklihood that her guy is going to lose his hair. Women are amazingly forgiving about things like that. I mean, us dudes wouldn't date a bald chick unless she had cancer or shaved it for cancer, right? Well, bald dudes around the world are getting poon every day. But not all of them. Just the guys that are smart enough to keep it trim and not have a mid-life crisis over it. The 'George Costanza' look is not going to get anyone laid. Bic-ing it works well for guys that have black hair. Tidy, trim, #1 clip for lighter hair dudes works well, too.

But why listen to me? I have all my hair. I don't deal with this directly. But I do have quite a few friends that are losing/have lost their hair. The ones that take it in stride have no problem scoring women. The ones that are clearly self-conscious about it get no action at all.

I shave my head and have since I met my wife.

I was losing so much hair, I just wore a ballcap all the time anyway so it wasn't a big loss. Welcome to the 2 minute shower!

I also find baldness easy to deal with, as I also still have all my hair .

You need to get the stuff made from real babies - it's usually imported from Eastern Europe. The faux stuff they sell over the counter never works.
