hypothermia.

From wikipedia...

As the temperature decreases further physiological systems falter and heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure all decreases [...] Difficulty in speaking, sluggish thinking, and amnesia start to appear; inability to use hands and stumbling is also usually present. [...] muscle coordination becomes very poor, walking becomes almost impossible, and the person exhibits incoherent/irrational behavior including terminal burrowing or even a stupor.[...]

I think I'll just stick to cyanide!

Learned this when I took a tour of Fenway, that shade of green is under copyright. You cannot go into a store and buy Fenway's green. I forget exactly who it is, but after they retouch everything in the offseason, the (I believe) head groundskeeper is allowed out one gallon of said paint, and can only use it inside his house.

Post by: Edith on 16 Oct 2012, 10:50: I'm late to the game, but here goes:

Top 3 Meals:
1. I partook of a nine-course tasting menu with wine pairings at a hotel restaurant in San Francisco with my aunt. I don't remember everything on the menu, but I remember there was fois gras and a very sweet white wine that paired amazingly. Also it was an art-deco style room with mirrored mosaics, and we were dressed up pretty fancy...it was just fun.

2. One time I was in Seattle at a library conference, and I went with a bunch of publisher reps and other librarians to a wine bar called Purple. I had a flight of wines that are completely unmemorable, and some macaroni & cheese with chunks of lobster, and also some amazing finely sliced brussels sprouts with bacon. The company, the food, and the sips of someone else at the table's digestif were all fantastic.

3. Thanksgiving dinner the year my Grandad died. The memorial service was held a few days before Thanksgiving, so many of us who wouldn't otherwise have made it there were able to be together. My brother made spanakopita and my sister's boyfriend roasted a medley of root vegetables and my sister-in-law made this feta & rosemary dipping oil for bread that my mom made, and dad cooked a couple chickens he'd raised, and I don't even remember what else... I think we had 14 people around the table...I ended up buying the table, which folds down to a 2-person table, when it came up at auction, mostly because of the memories of so many meals eaten around it.

Top 3 dog breeds:
1. Golden retriever
2. Basenji
3. Standard poodle

Top 3 ways to have bacon:
1. Right out of the pan, after cooking it over slow heat until the fat runs out and it simmers in a pool of its own fat.
2. Crumbled over rice that was also cooked with bacon fat.
3. On a grass-fed beef burger cooked medium, with lettuce, tomato and mayo.

2. Escaflowne - This is a lesser known Anime, but it was shown on TV here for whatever reason, and the animation was gorgeous. Even though I think Pokemon was my first anime, it showed me that there was more to anime than being weird (like Pokemon and Dragonball Z, which I never liked).

I Think of Demons (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50k-dCwV6SU&feature=my_liked_videos&list=LLwn7KARyvWyuNw376pv7x0g) by Rory Erickson.. very cool singer from Texas who suffered from pretty bad schizophrenia from what I have gathered. He also made a sort of acoustic album in the 90's that sounds like Buddy Holly.
2. Brave Captain (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rVLguwR5o8&feature=related) by Firehose .. 80s goodness
1. Rag Mama Rag (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7tDq61xGlo) by Levon Helm and Rick Danko .. I love these guys and that song is my favorite by The Band. Rick Danko had the best "rough" screamy voice ever.

Top Three Sport Practitioners.
Title: Re: Top Three Thread
Post by: valley_parade on 20 Oct 2012, 12:15: Practitioners of sport? Like, athletes? Let me make two lists here.

Current:
3. Dustin Pedroia (Boston Red Sox). Scrappy, plays through injuries, gives nothing less than 100%. Won league rookie of the year and MVP in the same season. Ridiculous nickname (Muddy Chicken), speaks his own language, it seems.
2. Patrice Bergeron (Boston Bruins). Skill for days, and pure class on and off the ice.
1. Ryan Giggs (Manchester United). Not much to say that hasn't been said.

All-time:
3. Phil Esposito (Boston Bruins, New York Rangers). Not afraid to speak his mind (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFKvB3Wnzgk). Prolifically good at scoring. Rad sideburns.
2. Ryan Giggs.
1. Roberto Clemente (Pittsburgh Pirates). Pioneer for current latin baseball players. Grace, effortless-looking skill, humanitarian. Died in a plane crash, headed to Nicaragua to help aid with earthquake relief in the prime of his career

Top three noodle/pasta dishes!
Title: Re: Top Three Thread
Post by: Lines on 20 Oct 2012, 12:37: 3. Pasta Primavera. Pasta, garlic, and all sorts of fresh veggies? I'm in!
2. Fettucini alfredo with chicken and broccoli.
1. Hard decision between homemade mac and cheese and homemade lasagna. Both are good. And my mac is definitely better than any mac I've ever had at a restaurant. But lasagna. So it's a tie.

Speaking of cheese, best three types of cheese.
Title: Re: Top Three Thread
Post by: Zingoleb on 20 Oct 2012, 12:46: Ooh, my.

3. Goat Cheese with Roasted Garlic
2. I can't remember the type, but this really amazing lavender and fennel soft-ish white cheese
1. Whiskey Cheddar with Chives

...I REALLY like cheese.

I also REALLY like chocolate, and cheese and chocolate go together REALLY well, so top three chocolate brands.
Title: Re: Top Three Thread
Post by: Carl-E on 20 Oct 2012, 13:29: 3. Hershey's (shut up, I grew up on it, it's comfort)

1. Picking. I'm a serious picker, of everything except what you'd actually expect lol. The skin around my nails, my scalp, scabs, etc. Anything on my skin that is not supposed to be there, really. It's gross but I just can't help it. And the thought of getting called out/caught is horrifying.

(Was contemplating the substitution of "Rocking out to any of my favorite music (especially oldies)" for Number 3 because I get really into it and totally lose track of everything around me and dance all weirdly and sing like a maniac, especially when I'm cleaning. But that's just embarrassing if someone randomly stumbles upon me doing it. When it's planned group craziness, it's quite fun. :-) )

Top three things you can't stand in commercials because you KNOW they're wrong/misleading, but will probably work on most people anyway.
(ex: when drug ads cite that "over 40 published studies" support their claim, knowing full well that most people are unaware that publication does not mean the conclusion is reputable.

More 'solo guitar' than 'guitar solo', but Classical Gas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeHgNqbdBKs) is a favourite
The latter half of Telegraph Road (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd3btVhwr48) is good.
The guitar-piano-bass-drums (max three at once though) piece here (http://youtu.be/df6nXjaTeus?t=4m43s).

(As you can tell, I haven't been to many live shows. Those bands are all from the Projekt Revolution 2007 tour.

I've also seen a show headlining Novus Dae, but all of the bands there were pretty cool. I even play cards with Novus Dae's drummer from time to time. Is nice.

2. pull a "gullible" prank on someone ("Hey, did you know...")
1. Listen to NPR's All Things Considered and Morning Edition. There's always an April Fool's story, and they don't say which one it is...

Top three gullible pranks you've heard? I need ammo...

Post by: valley_parade on 27 Mar 2013, 09:06: I've only one, and it didn't even work for more than about 30 seconds.

But, over the summer, I'd been chatting to this absurdly cute girl that works at a restaurant in town. She kept teasing me about the fact that I hadn't seen the latest Dark Knight film, and refused to go have a drink with me until I did.

Eventually, instead of going to see it, I just said I did, and when she asked me about it, I inserted characters from the movie into the plot of Cool Runnings.

Never got that drink.

2. "Did you hear about the actress that stabbed her husband? Reese - uh..."
"Witherspoon?"
"No, with a knife!" :mrgreen:

1. Seattle is so into Kurt Cobain still that it's acting kind of worrisome. It's been like twenty years but they Will Not Let Go - hell, one of the local breweries just released a new beer in honour of him! It was bitter and had no head.

(I guess these are less gullible than leading someone into a joke without telling them it's a joke.)
