Even if I don't hear back from them, that's the nicest response I've received from anyone

Welcome to Canada

I know who he is.

And because he is the son of the former F1 champion Keke Rosberg, we consider Nico a Finn too - at least when he wins. He actually has dual citizenship (German and Finnish), so it's not that big of a stretch.

Glad he got his first win. Too bad Kimi's (and Lotus') decision to only do two pit stops failed. Exciting race nonetheless.

Keke had an awesome 80s porn stach! lol
And Nico lives in Monaco, hot girlfriend... life's rough al over! Ya, Kimi's tires really fell off in the last stages of the race.
I'm glad he's back this year--nice to have personality back in F1... plus no one has a racing line like Kimi's--because he doesn't have one!!

LOL

In the ongoing employment drama (see the Bitching Thread) Finally got an offer letter from the company I've been contracting for. Best part, they offered me about 15% more per year than was originally discussed. I am now a happy man/ :bangers:

Bombass!

Congrats!

Amazing to hear that coming from a fellow Bostonian. I didn't think it was possible anymore. Got any secrets? I have an unemployed friend who's been trying to get a job for years.

Get a long enough contract and show them that you're damn good at what you do.

TOOL! TOOL! TOOL!
Is playing St. Paul, MN. this June and this is their ONLY concert show this year. WOOT WHOO!

This is also why my musical taste is so eclectic and varied. Just like the fest. :heavydrink:

Been meaning to go for the past two weeks and today finally going to catch this.

Floor tickets to Red Hot Chili Peppers! The reason I go to so many concerts is cus I missed a few in high school that I felt dumb for missing. Audioslave, Heaven & Hell and RHCP. Since the other 2 are caputso, this is a bucket list checkmark for me :mrgreen:

Nice! They're one of those guilty pleasure bands of mine that I listen to a bit on a nice hot summer day.

Fun night; got to see the awesome movie Iron Sky and ate an awesome chili burger (with Bhut Jolokia sauce, so a really, really hot one). Happy times!

I say anything I listen to that's not metal is a guilty pleasure :lol:

I stand firmly in support of my guilty pleasures. I just like throwing that term around a lot :lol:

In the context of a metal themed group, anything not metal is a guilty pleasure

Old RHCP music is soooo gooooooood. Not a big fan of their newer stuff, its catchy and good, just not as addicting as their older songs.

you are right. any music should result in guilt-free listening, if that's your thing that's your thing!

but i see mooyagi's point about anything being labeled a "guilty pleasure" on this forum if it's not metal.

anyway, i have a lot of fun listening to Devo and The Fixx...not much metal there, and zero guilt! Saved by Zero!

You should have some sauce with spicy sausage in it. Excellent stuff.

arrabbiata sauce (arrabbiato means angry in italian) is a bit spicy and is featured at lots of italian places....i love it! very tasty. it's not usually THAT hot though, just a bit spicy.

and yes, hot italian sausage is delicious in sauce! and that can be pretty damned hot. :givebeer:

i like hot/spicy food just not every day, not that hard core about it.

I love spicy food. Just don't like it so much when it comes out the back end.

Seems Cabin in the Woods premieres tomorrow here. I'll try and see it.
Iron Sky was great but maybe a bit short (1h30min). But you can't make a two-hour sci-fi film with only $10M, so the lack of money shows in that they had to leave some stuff out. The CGI in the movie is just as good as in any $100M movie, so it's amazing how they managed to make it with that budget.
