I was going from north central to the new development right behind COP. And given it was rush hour, I think it was faster than dealing with Crowchild and Bow.

Really though,are people expecting that? You come to a wedding, bring a date, and they expect a 200 dollar espresso machine or something?

Haven't we learned from TV that wedding gifts will inevitably be regifted or stored in a dusty closet?

And another thing... why do water polo players wear those stupid hats? They look like baby bonnets.
I think it depends on your relationship to the couple. As a coworker you may have received an invite to avoid awkwardness at work. If you go I think it appropriate to cover your variable expenses. Not the ceremony costs or anything, just the food and beverages.

As for the water polo players I think it is to keep water out of their ears and possibly to prevent ear related violence.

What's the fastest way to grow a mustache? I'm 16 and have little to no facial hair growth happening as I type this. I've heard shaving it more often will cause it to grow back quicker.

The reason I ask this is because I bought a pair of aviator shades today and I need a badass mustache to accompany them.

You have two choices.

1. Be of Mediterranean, Middle-Eeastern or Yasa decent, and wait for 10 minutes.
2. Wait 10 years like the rest of us before you can grow something decent that doesn't look like you cruise the local elementary school. Also hope you're not one of those poor souls who can barely grow peach fuzz for life.

Hope you take good care of those aviators.

Screw a mustache, you should bring the Unibrow back. Shave that #### everyday.

QQ - Any ballpark idea what an electrician would / should charge to wire a basement in a 2 year old house? About 600 sq ft, with 1 bedroom, larger rec room, and 1 full bath. I'd say 11 outlets, and 6 pot lights.

$60-90/hr + Material.

It really depends, is this an unfinished basement with open studs? Is there drywall on the ceiling yet?

The tent trailer is pretty much perfect. Its still a tent, and somewhat legit car camping, but gets you off the ground. Mine has a furnace as well, which means camping early/late is an option, whereas before it gets pretty cold in September or October!
Hobo Camper? Oh yeah, sounds reputable. Does he operate out of a van down by the river?

Wait 5 - 10 years.

EDIT - what Table 5 said

It is like another user said: a Shamwow. When you're doing 20-30 dives a day and have to get every little drop of water off everytime, these things are awesome! It sops it up and then you wring it out and presto! It's dry again!
Much better than a towel that stays wets after one use. They would need to bring 20 towels a day!
Can't they afford a larger size?

Step 1: Get a theatrical fake one.
Step 3: Profit.

Just have your buddies shave their pubes and make your own mustache. We did that for my buddy on his stag and he loved it!

Considering he also wanted to play paintball with jizz balls, I'm not surprised about this being an event Sliver attended.

Why do lawyers leave things until the last minute? I'm selling my house and buying a new one, and the bank needs some paperwork from the lawyer by end of business day today or they don't release the funds for the mortgage and the lawyer will have it done by about 30 minutes before the bank closes.... I'm so unproductive today because I'm stressed that something will go wrong, and I'll sign papers at the lawyers and take the paper work to the bank just as they lock the doors.

LOL, I figured you would catch that name and be all over it. That's the name of the shop though and they're a legit business. I took mine there to have some welding done a few weeks ago actually.

Cats out of the bag though....for the ball tournament this year I have a tent trailer! (I can claw my way through the canvas if need be)

I'm going to say this now; this is staggeringly unwise.

Do I need a gasfitter to install the gasline converter between the gas line outlet and my gas barbecue? Apparently, there's this little threaded doodad which needs some sort of sealant applied but not so much as to squish out into the line when tightened. It doesn't indicate whether having some of the sealant meet the gas is harmless or causes an enormous explosion? Thoughts?
