CP group buy to test this out?

Then you always step on a crum and it gets imbedded in your sock. They offer you some water, but the ice stinks and there's a floaty in the cup.

Now THIS is how you paint a picture!!

Now what the F is Sliver on about this time...

... I don't find any of those washed out and depressing. I mean the last one is one of like 500 watercolours of birds by Audubon, and just getting that book alone is enough to pretty much completely discount your opinion here.

Damn, he was right again. Those ARE washed out. I am glad Corsi was able to provide such compelling evidence. Thanks guys!

I just think you haven’t seen good watercolour in person (a picture of a painting doesn’t really do it justice regardless of the medium). I’m not an art aficionado, but honestly some watercolour is incredible.

The other thing is the idea that “anyone can do that” when it comes to art. In my younger, less considered days, I used to think things like that. But one day I realized that maybe anyone could do that, but that person actually did it.

It is unusually that a Master is recognized and celebrated during their lifetime.

I’m in if the first painting is either a bear or a concept for a new mountain town.

New mountain town with a gladiator ring where bears and packs of dogs face off. In watercolour.

I'm single again and dating, it's mostly been enjoyable, but the odd time holy smokes..

I swear I will never understand the attraction so many men and women seem to have in wanting to "tame a wild horse", and going for the bad boy/bad girl. I'm way too laid back for that stuff (and apparently not laid back enough to handle it). Like shut the #### up you fiery idiot, stop flipping out all the time and making decisions based on pure ego.

Give me the laid back ones all day, thank you.

I agree with the dandelion poster. The parks look terrible. Bring back the chemicals.

No, every fast food place, I don’t want your sorry excuse for a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich. Why is this a trend all of a sudden?

Probably because of me. I always try them.

The cheat code is bacon. ALWAYS more bacon.

Are any of them good? I never tried it in Nashville but I’ve had Alumni’s and can’t see anyone beating it.

I recently tried A&W's latest version and liked it.

I ####ing get this ridiculous emotion when travelling that is somewhere between apathy and despair. From somewhere I’ve dreamed about to some of the most beautiful places in the world, always find myself trying so hard to not ruin my partners experience, but god damn if I don’t manage to smear such cynical #### on everything. Gotta figure it out man, should be having the time of my life with those I love and instead I’m trying to avoid crying into a pint over how frustratingly underwhelming it all feels and the inability to hide it, knowing these are rare and social occasions.

There’s your problem. Alumni’s is too good. So if you’re looking for something that beats it you won’t find it.

Now the question is: full hot, half hot, or quarter hot?
