    Heading to Beijing next week

    The Chinese Fire Drill. The cabbies are totally cool with this. Once they stop for a light, jump out and try to take the wheel. Total hillarity.

    Depends on how hard core you are. The Great Wall of China is prety awesome, but it's about an hour and a half away. Here are my recommendations if you are just going to stay in town: Forbidden City, pretty cool to walk around in. Unfortunately the Chinese aren't big on educational signs, especially not in english. You can hire a tour guide. The summer palace with the stone boat. The silk market. After a while all the markets in China are kind of the same, but you should go to at least one. Peking Duck, any guide book can give you some recommendations. Peking Circus - some of the whackiest stuff. This is cirque de sole from ancient times. Worth a look and as of 5 years ago, the tickets were pretty cheap. Voltaire's wife. Kind of meh, but it's one of those things you have to do while you're there.

    Unforunately our dogs are much better at finding chocolate than our kids are, so we have to scale Easter back.

    New York....A State of Pussiifcation

    When I was in high school we still had archery with real bows and arrows. Naturally we justified that trust, especially when Quentin shot an arrow into a transformer and caused a waterfall of sparks and Rachael shot this guy Chris in the foot. That was the last year we had archery.

    That bumper sticker has been the end of many a career.

    How did you score on the SAT test?

    I took the SATs in 1987. Apparently they redid the scoring the year after I took them (bastards). Given the same number of correct answers, the scores after 1987 are higher than the scores previously. I'm not sure if they did this again since then.

    Give me your favorit science fiction movie ever...

    Is this the same as 2009:Lost Memories? I've pretty much seen all the other sci fi mentioned in this thread, but I had never heard of this one.

    Best hockey non-fight ever?

    I thought this was going to be the clip with the one skater skatign backwards while throwing off his gloves. The other guy didn't feel like fighting so he just hooked the guy with his stick and dumped him on his keister. That was a pretty good non-fight. Can't find the clip though.

    Time Waster - totally addictive.

    I beat the wizard. Just get as many good weapons as you can. I used the voodoo doll. If you run out of money you can always go back to the free map and whip up on some creatures.

    Coach knocks player to floor in practice.....

    I think kicking the kid when he was already on the ground was over the line. As for the forearm to the chest, that was just the kid being soft.

    Things you hate

    Slow moving fat people that walk in the middle of the sidewalk People in meetings who repeat what they just said. People in meetings who hold up all twenty people with some bs request that should be taken care of offline. Latin Pimp People standing on the metro escalators that don't let people walking get by. We're not all moron tourist from the midwest, some of us have jobs and/or bars to get to. When my daughter moves at a glacial pace when I am already late to work Networks that cancel the two shows I actually looked forward to watching People who insist that self-medicating isn't the best stress management technique Penguins
