Bogleheads

Red Rock West is a great movie. Cage seems to be channeling Elvis in his performance. "So it was always just about the money."

It's looking like a Tide vs. Gators rematch... still have to get past
Miss St. who has actually played well despite a number of close
losses to ranked teams, and the Tigers who will always play h ...

Ever see the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness?"

Persistence is the key. I had a friend who wanted to get into the ad business. He moved to NYC and just kept interviewing until someone fina ...

My objection was to the claim that the SEC schools have an atmosphere or crowd that cannot be matched elsewhere. Gushing about 92,000 fans at LSU looks downright silly when Ohio St. drew 95,000 fans ...

Or Washington State?

If you're going to pick the last place team, I'd take WSU vs. Vanderbilt using your criteria.

If it's not fair to compare state school to private, then the Pac-10 could g ...

For those romanticizing Southern football with their exaggerated descriptions, I invite them to come to Autzen Stadium in Eugene when there is an Oregon Ducks game. It will be a reality check and will ...

Just watched Tim Tebow break Walker's rrushing touchdown record playing against Georgia. How sweet it is!

I expect generations of Dawgs and Gators will argue over who was best: Hershel or ...

It bothers me that they're advertising on Beck. A lot, actually.

It's not cheap as long as you share with those sitting by you.

Wear boots and sneak it in that way.

Yes, Florida is struggling, comparatively. Injuries, breaking in a new OC, and the lack of a deep threat have all hurt the Gators. Yet they're undefeated.

Unless the injury bug continues, they sho ...

Kyle Orton seems to be one of those guys who never impresses anyone but at the end of the game always seems to be on the winning team.

Cutler, on the other hand, seems to be the second coming of J ...

I think Adrian's advice is sound. I let my equity allocation run up to 70% after letting it shrink over the past couple of years due to warnings from people like Jack Bogle and now am starting to dive ...

Many of the people of the Boglehead forum are engineers, lawyers, doctors, finance people.....people used to drilling down through details to get their answers. In fact they are customarily far more ...

vitacost.com is a great place to buy vitamins. A lot of those brands have been in business for decades so at the very least you know they're not going to hurt you unless you overdose, which is possibl ...

Turning Japanese is/was a euphemism for masturbation. It had to do with your eyes looking up while in the act.

How about a little Dylan:

t's All Good

Talk about me babe, if you must
Throw on ...

Another vote for Jos A Bank. Unlike someone else posted, I think their entry-level suits are OK, especially for less than $200. They wear like iron. The signature gold are nice suits and are worth the ...

I drive a 2007 Hyundai Elantra although it's badged as an Avante here in Korea and it's a nice enough car. The transmission doesn't have much torque, which makes acceleration weak. I read this was don ...

my favorite:
'They whipped us like a tied up goat.' Spike Dykes / Texas Tech

and, speaking of whippings, check out the latest on the Urban Meyer / Lane Kiffin showdown - I expect Kiffin is gonna ...

If you're into reading the car mags and worried about how fast your vehicle goes from 0-60 mph, then by all means spend the extra dough on premium gas.

But a Honda engineer who drove an NSX said he ...

I would love to hear from anyone who's been to Tanzania, specifically about tour companies and recommended itineraries. I'm thinking about a volunteer trip so any information about those would be grea ...

That type of buffet in Seoul would probably be at least $100, if not $150. A less extravagant buffet without wine would typically be about $50.

There are some places that have meat buffets--you co ...

1. Grateful Dead
2. The Byrds
3. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Here's more bad news, although the driver was drunk and could just have easily killed someone in another car:

"A Texas man is accused of slamming his car head-on into a bicyclist, who was l ...

I'm very careful of cyclists when I drive, but:

- you guys look like tools in your bicycle suits

- your bike is not faster than my car, anywhere, anytime - trust me - how about learning to share ...

The Alaska cruises and the land excursion choices they provide are quite exceptional.

As for driving, Alaska is HUGE. That's why those tiny communities want airports--the locals all fly. I did see ...

Clark is one of the good guys.

The Japanese are very unlikely to ever accept immigration on anything but a very small scale. They just bought airline tickets for recently unemployed immigrants and shipped them back to their hom ...

The correct pronunciation of forte is one of my favorites. I don't think I've ever met anyone who knows it, which is why the mispronunciation is now considered correct. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em ...

Rent a house, if you can find one available, at Jacksonville Beach. The surrounding beaches--Atlantic, Neptune, Seminole and Ponte Vedra--are nicer and what I would recommend. The beaches are truly be ...

just a thought, sometimes a utility will cut a tree if it is a danger to their lines. Usually without charge. If you have overhead lines in the vicinity you might check with them .Tony
This is true ...

I started checking because everyone where I live, South Korea, was. I think the first big scandal was when Chinese fishermen were putting lead slivers in crabs to make them weigh more. And then it was ...

My wife is a staff Pediatrician at a top 10 Children's hospital and she said that she's all in favor of adding more PA's.....with the caveat that there be at least one staff MD present to review the P ...

First information, then some comments.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is by donation, so even though it may say $18.00 per adult, you really are free to pay whatever you wish.

This is true. I have friends that feel that art should b ...

Go to the Frick Museum. Very few people do. It's like being in your own private museum. The Nicolai Roerich Museum on the upper Westside is great too, although centered on only one artist.

Gluttony is one of the seven mortal sins.

It used to be that fat people were in general ashamed of their condition. Women wore "fat clothes" to hide in. Now, they almost seem proud of it. ...

After reading the first razor thread, I started drying my razor after using it and I've been getting two weeks of good shaves instead of the one week I was previously getting.

I live and work in SKorea so I am covered, if you can call it that, by the national insurance here. But I also have disability insurance that I bought in the US, and it covers me while working oversea ...

I think it's the emotional issue that's tricky here. Why they are estranged is probably the key to that. For me, the story of the prodigal son immediately leaps to mind.

The lawyers can handle the ...

If you're not an investment banker, and don't they live in Connnecticut anyway, or something similar, New York is so expensive you're pretty much forced to live frugallly. I can only imagine what a ca ...

If you expect to advance very far at this hypothetical company, I wouldn't do it. Showing up and being there whenever they happen to most need someone with your skills is a big part of office life. Se ...

I worked my way through college, etc. But I think if people have enough money that they can buy their kids, no matter their age, something, why not? One of the reasons people work hard is so they can ...

This is not something that is completely new. Credit card companies have negotiated with delinquent card owners in the past. Maybe it was limited to younger users with no real assets, however.

I've taught both small and large classes. I've taken both small and large classes. My opinion is that it all depends on the students and the teacher.

My money would be on NK. With a good chance of U.N. sanctions being enforced, they'll have a tougher time raising cash. That they just sat down with SK to talk about their joint industrial complex, wh ...
