DBAHO Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 So anyways speaking of things that are expensive, me and my sister went to see Wedding Crashers last night, except we went Gold Class style. Basically it's reclining seats, in a movie theater with lots of room, and any food you want delivered at any time to a table seperating your seats, very ooh la la. Anyways, I just went for the Choc Top - Popcorn - Soda triple, the usual treat at the movies. But the people who ordered in front of us in the cure, the total bill came to $90. How the hell, do you spend $90 on food at the movies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen the "New" Ames? It isn't a bad place to see a football game, except they should have put the home section of stands to block the north wind off of the Lake. Other than that it is a real nice place for IN HS football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Yeah, I know they fixed it up nice. Really took away from the ghettoy feel of the town. Were you around when Marquette built their Athletic Fields next to MCHS (Then Rogers HS)? Do you know what their nickname for the fields was?

Kid Gleason Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Wasn't there once an old idea of if you wanted to improve your countries economy you just start a war? So...what the f*** is happening here? Is it because this war isn't creating any jobs at all? Do we need cars to run on gas. My buddy, who is a chemist, claims they can make a car that runs on hydrogen. But there is no money to be had for the oil tycoons in that, so we will never see it. He says the hybrids are bulls*** because it is technology that doesn't need to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better go lie down, or better yet have a beer until it passes. There was a pretty good discussion on here a couple weeks back on hybrid vs. hydrogen, and the need for hybrids as a stopgap solution while many serious roadblocks to economically feasible and truly renewable hydrogen power are hopefully addressed. My wife and I figured out that we're now spending $500 a month between our drives to and from work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want to adopt another dog and the shelters near my are going dry. I am not quite sure to be honest. We have all cats, and have dealt almost always with Frieds cat shelter or with Dr Reed, a vet in Porter. My in-laws have always adopted dogs though and they get them somewhere in Porter County, and have had awesome luck. Let me ask my wife or them and get you some info.
