It's almost like they know you're a fan of Adam Carolla.

Why is it that "deep tissue massages" are nothing more than a licensed assault on your back? Because there is an enormous difference between a HARD massage and a DEEP massage and unfortunately very very few massage therapists know the difference or how to go deep without it feeling very invasive and painful. It's a shame. It's one the ways we get a bad rap. I do secret, special tutoring with my anatomy students to get them to be able to do what I do. Most teachers don't even know how to do it right. Being able to do really good deep tissue work is the thing that makes massage an art rather than just a trade and the vast majority of MTs out there are just rubbing on people with no idea how to turn it into an art. (I'm sorry. I really do know how that sounds. But it's true.)(Where's the vomit smilie?)

I knew I would get caught letting that one go without a rewrite.

Kind of a long explanation to get to the question but whatevs; It was rainy in Boston while the wife and I were there last week so we went to the theater for the first time since Sin City (for the same reasons you're about to hear). Had the choice between Prometheus and The Avengers. Picked Prometheus because I'd like to watch The Avengers for the first time with my boy. Anywho, it's a Wednesday at 12:05 with 8 people in the theater including us so I think, "Good, no one's going to ruin this." Half-way into the film (spoiler)(right about where Noomi is performing a self-caesarean)(/spoiler) some jackhole to my right starts playing with his keys. More like he's just holding them and doing the leg shake thing that all us males do for some reason and it was making his keys shake. The wife is totally oblivious but a few others in the theater are shooting him glances. After about 5 minutes of this I politely ask him to "stop doing whatever it is you're doing that's making that noise." He does...for about 3 minutes. When it starts back up I calmly walk over to him, get right in his fat fucking face and tell him if I hear his keys one more fucking time, "you'll have to take a shit before you'll be able drive home." It stops for the duration of the movie but now my wife is pissed because I 'caused a scene'. When I asked her if she'd rather have listened to his goddamn keys over the movie she says she never even heard them. WTF! The same shit happens at the house when a clock is ticking or some other noise is happening and it's driving me nuts, she's blissfully unaware. And it's not just her, when we visit my her mother's, sister's or sister-in-law's house they have shit that makes noise that they never fucking hear (clock ticking, sink dripping, fridge noises, etc.). She tells me to just tune it out but she might as well be telling me to just grow a third head, it's impossible. I guess this is more a rant than a question but WHAT THE FUCK.

I think this board is abandoned now. Pretty much. As soon as the .30 is shuttered, this place will be shuttered too. Also, Uncy Herb, your wife is deaf. I had the opposite problem with my ex. She heard everything. Everything was too loud. I like watching loud telly and listening to loud music. Bah.

Killing Brazilian kidnappers in slo-mo bullet-time is fun but doing it LOUDLY is awesome. If we don't get a PM invite about the new board are we just s.o.l.?

PM tardbasket here or on the .30 if you haven't been PM'd yet. He has automated the process of inviting all 12,000 users, but because the .30 is so slow/dead, it's not working.
