On the other hand, it's a flattering vomit-mode picture.

Man, those can end up being a lot worse.

[spoon_of_grimbo]

Oh that is not a nice thing to do, who takes pictures of people in full-on vomit mode...

...when there's way better things you can do to someone who's drunk and clinging to the toilet!!!  like shaving a bald patch in their head, drawing giant penises all over their body, and leaving them to sleep with their head on the toilet seat.  this actually happened to a guy i know at a party i was at, and i only wish i had pictures of it!

[est]

If one of my friends ever shaved a bald patch on my head without my consent they a. wouldn't be my friend for very long and b. would probably wind up with a punch in the fucking mouth for their trouble.  I am not a tough-guy or anything, but there is a thing called respect.

[Jimmy the Squid]

A friend of mine once curled up on the floor of the downstairs bathroom of my parents house and went to sleep. He later claimed it was the best decision he ever made.

i'd probably be the same tbh.  but i should point out that I didn't do any of that myself, i just saw the pictures afterwards.  to be fair, the "victim" had got viciously drunk and thrown up everywhere within half an hour of arriving at the party, so it wasn't totally undeserved.  but even he saw the funny side (apparently he had some martial arts showcase the next day, which he did with the marker-pen penises still clearly visible).

[nobo]

i would have to say that getting wasted and throwing up all over someone's house is disrespectful enough to get your head shaved while you're passed out. you have to know your limits.

[Jace]

On knowing your limits: I have been talking with people who have worked in hotels a while and we came to the unfortunate conclusion that the native american groups that stay at the hotel don't know their limit when drinking and end up passed out, puking all over the place, or getting arrested and thrown in jail for various reasons.

[Inlander]

Don't get the eagle tattoo. Hipster irony isn't going to be amusing when you're eighty and your grandkids ask you "Grandpa Sam, why do you have a really tacky tattoo of an eagle's head and the stars and stripes on your arm?" and you have to tell them: "Well kids, when I was very young it gave me a cheap laugh and back then everyone liked to pretend they were a redneck trucker. Oh, how we liked to pretend."

HIPSTER IRONY: THE DEATH OF GENUINE HUMOUR.

[David_Dovey]

Don't get the eagle tattoo. Hipster irony isn't going to be amusing when you're eighty..

Worrying about what you'll think about your tattoos when you're eighty= doing it so, so, so wrong.

My friend's brother once shaved the initials of his and his other brother's names into their heads.

Why this was bad? These are very long /tall haired Indians.


Also, GUYS!! I'M GOING TO BACCHANAL J'OUVERT LATER!!!

Most likely, the next time I will be conscious after said event will be tomorrow, this time (if we're lucky). Will post pictures should facebook and my cell phone allow.

[Emaline]

Indians or Native Americans?

[MrBlu]

We live in Jamaica.





Indian folks.

[Orbert]

Getting bombed and puking everywhere within half an hour of arriving:  Loser!

Doing so the night before a martial arts showcase:  Probably not smart, for most people anyway.

Performing at said martial arts showcase with marker-pen penises still clearly visible:  Priceless.

[Inlander]

Worrying about what you'll think about anything when you're eighty= doing it so, so, so wrong.

I guess what I meant to say is that Hipster Irony will suck when you're eighty because it sucks right now.

[pwhodges]

Worrying about what you'll think about your tattoos when you're eighty= doing it so, so, so wrong.

But none the less, you might just change your mind...  Sometimes - just sometimes - the party-poopers are right.

Or patriotism at a difficult time to be patriotic is the sign of the faithful

[Drill King]

Or the place you live and the place you vote. Where you have citizenship and live your life. Patriotism isn't about where your parents had sex it's about pride in your society/living area.

I am patriotic because I think in general my country(or 'where my parents had sex') does pretty alright things, I think it is a pretty good place to live, and I like it's image on a global level. This is where I grew up, my environment helped shape who I was, this is an important factor of my identity. This is why I am 'proud of the place my parents had sex'.


Your country is more than just 'where your parents had sex' it's part of what shapes you and makes you, you. Being patriotic when you disagree with your country is a bit silly.

[Johnny C]

irony's a dead scene, i'm getting the wolf backpiece

get it as a frontpiece but it's holdin up you nipples like two brown suns

[negative creep]

Patriotism is basically one of the things that makes people enemies of each other. Which is a bad thing. Which is why I am not a patriot.

pictures later next week probably.

[Ballard]

Sam, is the left shoulder Eddie's tattoo from RHPS?

[MarkTBSc]

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time-to-time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Thomas Jefferson."
"Patriotishm ish the virtue of the vishush, according to Oscar Wilde"

I'm a Patriot. But my patriotism is more of the 'My country Rocks!' variety and less of the 'Your country sucks!' sort. I'm well aware that everyone else's countries have awesome aspects. I'd just never trade England for anywhere else.

A picture! Just so as not to get too far away from the point of the thread.



Out, one evening, on the streets of Chicago after a semi-formal dinner with my friends. Best part of the evening? Some drunk frat-boy pointing at me and screaming "Best suit of the night!".

[spoon_of_grimbo]

Captain Ciders McFuckYouUp will fuck you up.

[Dollface]

that is funny.

[Dazed]

Make a thread in Discuss maybe guys?

[Skibas_clavicle]

A couple people went out for cheap martinis on my birthday, some of the pics are pretty amusing.

I made my friend get a girly apple-tini, so we took a pic with pinkies out:


This one just kills me because I call it our "Lindsey Lohan and SaMANtha Ronson picture":


Blurfest 3000:

[Mnementh]

Jeans, you might want to gain a better understanding of both the collective action problem and the concept of agency as it applies to political institutions.  Andy may not solely be responsible for the actions of her nation, but she does contribute to them and provide legitimacy to them in a small regard.  Remove Andy and the system will still persist, but remove enough Andy's and it ceases to be.

The Westphalian State is more or less the ultimate social and political institution, and patriotism is part of what allows that institution to function.  Take Somalia for example. As a sovereign nation it only exists on maps and paper, but there are no functioning governing institutions, owing in part to there being no concept of the nation. Individuals are loyal not to Somalia, but to their individual clans.  Without patriotism, we'd exist as tribal entities tied together by ethnic and linguistic commonalities, or as lone family units.  Nationalism isn't so bad either, it fostered the modern nation-state and the concepts of sovereignty that have allowed us to function as a society and progress as far as we have.

If you're not a fan of this state of affairs then I gladly invite you to to vacation in Waziristan or the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan.

And now a picture:

[nobo]

are you deadlifting 315?!? jesus. how does your back not fall off in protest?

[Mnementh]

are you deadlifting 315?!? jesus. how does your back not fall off in protest?

420. The first plates are iron 45 lbs, then the 3 bumpers.  I went on to DL 435 on my next attempt.  I do a good job of protecting my back and I've got strong legs.

Most importantly, I've got a good coach who keeps an eye on my form.

[nobo]

what this another 3 rep max or is that what you normally work out with?

[Mnementh]

One rep max. It was part of a total (Squat, Press, Deadlift).  You get 3 attempts to set a new PR on each lift.

Normally I work out with loads between 385 and 405, depending on the workout.  It really depends on if we're training for volume or intensity.  Volume, I'll work up to a weight that's heavy (365) and do 5x5 across, or 5x3 across.  Intensity, is just progressively adding weights after you reach a moderately heavy weight, so I'll start my sets at about 85% of my x-rep max and work up to a new PR for that (be it 5reps or 3reps).

[StaedlerMars]

Fact: I couldn't even think about lifting that much.

[Jace]

are you deadlifting 315?!? jesus. how does your back not fall off in protest?

420.

This is over 3 times my current weight. YOU COULD LIFT THREE OF ME.

[Patrick]

That is exactly 3.5x my current weight. You could lift three of me and one of me with my legs cut off.

(also man it is good to see you around again)

[SirJuggles]

Some drunk frat-boy pointing at me and screaming "Best suit of the night!".

This man was the most right.

[MarkTBSc]

Really? 'Cause he only seemed moderately republican to me. Shouldn't he have been more... I dunno... Amish?

Your workout sounds completely different than mine. I'm going for weight loss + endurance. I do 5 different workouts based on the day (legs, back, chest, shoulders, arms). Each work out has 4 sets of 7-9 different exercises, and when I can do 3 sets of 12 on a given weight I go up to the next weight. I've been lifting on and off for the past year or so, and this past 2 months is the first time I've developed a specific workout routine rather than just putzing around in the gym.   

How long did have you been at it? and is there any place you go online for different routines that I can check out?

[Mnementh]

You're doing body building splits. Stop! Please!  Seriously. They don't make you stronger, and unless you already have a decent baseline strength, you won't lose too much weight/bodyfat.  Powerlifting style workouts will increase your functional strength and depending on how you eat, you can gain or lose weight on them. I've held steady at 175 lbs while my working on my strength gains.  I'm the same weight, but less fat.

Honestly the best resource when it comes to powerlifting would be Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe. 

However, If you're looking for more of a mix of conditioning and strength then I'd highly recommend crossfit.  [http://pioneervalleycrossfit.com]This is what I've been doing for the past eight months, and not only have I seen dramatic power increases, but definite increases in speed and endurance (I run a mid six minute mile time, and I haven't done any long distance running in over a year.  Last summer, before I started crossfit, I was struggling with keeping it sub eight).   The workout I showed you was typical of a weight training cycle, which we're just wrapping up today.  Monday I'll be back at the WODs, which don't solely emphasize strength.

For reference, Rippetoe has renounced his National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) membership and bought in fully to crossfit, and he is one of the premier powerlifting coaches in the country.  Dave Tate of Elitefts has also bought into Crossfit. I personally can't recommend it highly enough. I still have more a strength bias when it comes to abilities, but I'm a much better all around athlete than I was before I started.

Those of you who can't imagine ever lifting this much, well, two years ago I certainly couldn't. It just takes knowledge and hard work.

[Jace]

I read all of Daniel's post with Billy Mays' voice. Then I re-read it with "overexcited personal trainer" voice. It sounded so funny in my head. I highly suggest that it is read like Billy Mays.

[MrBlu]

Holy crap, he's right.

Anyways, like I promised, pictures of the night (7 in the morning). For now, Facebook and JA entertainment sites are kinda dry, so I only have pictures that I took when I got home.




(P.S. The floor mat was already blue.)

EDIT::

Is the fact that this is a Page break make it acceptable to post a picture of me with my shirt off?

[Jimmy the Squid]

What smells like blue?

[MrBlu]

JOKER'S WILD J'OUVERT WHOOOO!!!


EDIT:
Inserted link.
I also just realized that was a crack at my name. Which is pretty cool.

[Hat]

Here is a photo of me going to town on a pinata at a party



Also here is some booze I bought the other day! I basically bought the shit I needed for new orleans amaretto sours, a good martini, a negroni, and a cosmopolitain, and Alexanders. Some Marie Brizard creme de cacao, some tanq ten, some extra dry cinzano (Emilio you would not believe how hard I scoured this city for noilly prat and lillet blanc, this place is a dive), some galliano amaretto (couldn't find any nice amaretto either ) Some Bacardi rum, although I still haven't bothered to buy any soda water or mint to make mojitos with, some cointreau, some grand marnier, some campari, and a big fuck off bottle of vodka

Jace, have you never met this dude? He is most certainly not Billy Mays.

[Jace]

I have not ever met him, but when I read his post it automatically changed voices in my head to something resembling billy mays, but just that one post, not all of them.
