I heard they help you see better at night

Ok, how awful is it that the first thing I thought when I saw this pic was "Oh, that looks like a dwarf hotot." Jesus, 4-H has ruined me FOR LIFE.

I'm looking for an affordable laptop computer to be optimized for gaming. Mostly, I need it to play WoW and whatever other game I get myself addicted to. Any suggestions? Alienware is out of my range but I'd definitely like something better than the Circuit City special.
I have a Dell XPS laptop and it's great for gaming. I know people think Dell is mostly crap, but I've never had a problem with their XPS laptop line. This is my 3rd one, all of them only replaced when I wanted to upgrade. Not sure if that's outside of your price range, but it's something to look at as an option. :)

You know those annoying neighbors who park at the end of their driveway because it might snow and they're too lazy to shovel? I'm about to become one. Where are the neighborhood kids with shovels, the neighbors with snowblowers or the plow guys looking to make a few extra bucks?
Have a hot bath, fight fire with fire.

Yeah get in the tub of cold water? Drink plenty of fluids, put a cold wash cloth over your forehead?

Umm -1 Toby. Please follow MWM's advice and go see a doctor. A fever is just a symptom of the actual problem.
- Shey
Advil/Motrin, cool shower, call the doctor.
- Yolanda
Thanks for all the advice. I went off the grid after posting so I could wait it out in the doc's office. Turns out it was strep throat, so some antibiotics combined with Tylenol and Gatorade have brought me back to normal levels.

Crap! I'm glad you are better now Sally.

We took the baby to see Rocky Horror Picture Show in Harvard Square last night. How old were you the first time you saw RHPS with a shadow cast? I was out of college before I saw my first show.
I was still in high school. Sixteen maybe? Possibly fifteen. I was offered up as a virgin sacrifice by my friends even though I begged them not to let it be known. Was fantastic. :D

For those who haven't seen it, you should definitely go at least once in your lifetime. For those who have seen it, what are your thoughts on the possible MTV remake?
- Sally - Skyrimmin' It
I don't see how they can remake it and retain the essence of it! If you haven't seen it I urge you to do so!
- WoH: Professor MOTHRA
I don't believe how many "virgins" are here. I first saw RHPS when I was 6. My parents took me. As a kid I just thought it was cool to be able to throw food and such in a movie theater with people on the stage. What is this about a remake?
- Miranda
22 I think, in college. We just got tickets for the play here in town

So the Christmas/Holiday Season starts after Halloween now? I thought that started the day after Thanksgiving! I'm not Bah Humbug, but I can be a Bah Burnout. I know stores want to get the jump this year, but....
I thought it started after Labor Day...or after the 4th of July
- Kevin L
Doesn't the season officially start on january 2nd?
- Lorraine Ball
Well I'm starting soon because it's going to be a 'make-it-yourself' Christmas this year and with my (lack) of crafting skills I will need a lot of time. And a steady supply of Band-aids. And some ideas. Some raw materials would be good, too. And time...
- WoH: Professor MOTHRA
We walked into Walmart yesterday and were greeted by a Christmas tree. I agree that it's too early for all the decorations. But not too early for the crafting. Check out the craftiness room for ideas. :)

I was horrified by all the Christmas crap at the store today tooo...augh!
- Susan Beebe
Actually, our mall started later this year with the decorations. Last year, the winter holiday decorations were up before HALLOWEEN. At least this year Santa didn't arrive at the mall until November 1.

I didn't want to have to resort to this, but some people obviously need a little light relief...don't blame me if your head explodes! - http://www.youtube.com/watch...
That is awesome. I just cowbelled three separate Depeche Mode songs. :D
- Hookuh Tinypants
It's best on 100% cowbell and walkden I find...it's a great picker-upper but I laugh until I cry sometimes at the songs ppl upload!
- WoH: Professor MOTHRA
haha! - I'm listening to 'just can't enough' now - brilliant!
- WoH: Professor MOTHRA
I threw a Def Leppard song up there on 100% cowbell and walken. We'll see how it goes. Def Lep just seems to BEG for cowbell.

Hey everyone let's not forget this room is here! After reading some of the posts around tonight I'm going to be hanging in here until after that election thang you all in the US are so antsy about. Peace!
Me, too, Jason. When I found myself briefly irritated because Robert Scoble claimed that I'm almost always wrong (he's wrong, by the way), it was like an alcoholic's moment of clarity: I needed to get away. Why should I even care what he thinks? On top of that, someone here whom I really like and respect suddenly started parroting one of the most petty and inane talking points... it's...

I have never seen such a passionate, volatile, polarizing and emotionally charged election in my life...this one has been tough folks!! I don't think it will be that much easier after the election. The reason I say that is due to all the open wounds we have as a country - numerous unresolved issues.
- Susan Beebe
The sad thing is that it'll stop after the election. that's why we're in the mess we're in in the first place.
- Patricia
Regardless of who wins, it's going to be hard to look those who were slinging hateful invectives around with the same level of respect after this is over. I started shutting down on debate nights just to filter some of it out.
- Heather Solos
I agree fully, Susan. I think everyone is fatigued which is why you see a lot more name-calling, sarcasm, and rudeness now. People are just tired all over. And the supporters of the losing candidate are going to riot, emotionally at least. Expect six months of accusations, conspiracy theories, and temper tantrums the likes of which this nation has never seen.

HEY THIS IS POLITICAL CONVERSATION IN NO POLITICS ROOM!!!!!!!!!!!
