    The Gender Poll ~ Which are you?

    Since I never actually did answer the question and just commented on the vast imbalance reflected in the poll, I now deign to answer. I am (drum roll please) female. That means I have two X chromosomes and no Y, have a lot more estrogen than testosterone, a greater chance of developing...

    The Gender Poll ~ Which are you?

    Well, Bonz did all of the forum descriptions. I was actually referring to the avatar that some moderators were encouraged to wear by Alidar Jarok. It references an avatar TBonz has been known to wear, only with a slight modification.

    The Gender Poll ~ Which are you?

    mimic's Top Five Reasons Why So Few Men (apparently) Exist on TalkCSI: 5. Men exist - they're just too busy playing video games to answer a poll. 4. Short attention spans can't keep up with lengthy threads 3. Real Men post on Star Trek message boards. 2. Two words - "Shipper Central" and...

    Doctor Who!

    The US is actually airing Doctor Who fairly close to the BBC broadcast (VotD on April 18th, next one on the 25th). That makes it harder for me to justify obtaining it by unsavory means - before I assuaged my guilty conscience by buying the DVDs. I suppose I'll wait (and ultimately buy the...

    How Much is Gas Where you Live?

    I haven't driven in two weeks, but back when I did it was $3.29. The week before it was $3.19. I can only imagine what it will be when I go home this summer. :klingon: (I see this board got Anti_Drone's smileys!)

    How tall are you?

    I'm a fraction under 5'9, so the doctors generally round up. T'is nice of them. But honestly I like my height - I wouldn't want to be any taller or any shorter.

    Doctor Who!

    So, I imagine you people have found the Doctor Who Advent Calendar? If not, here's the link. I'm not thrilled about certain S4 news, but I'll live.

    Safest & Most Dangerous U.S. Cities-2007

    Where's Philadelphia??? Every year it seems there are more and more murders, and I could swear it was on a list of dangerous cities not too long ago... Oh well, I guess Philly will have to settle for being 'ugliest' and 'fattest' and not 'most dangerous.'

    Where Did You Get Your Username?

    I once had a stuffed puppet kangaroo that I named Mimic. She, unfortunately, was kidnapped by an Evil Laundry Lady at a hotel in Virginia and thus is with me no more, but she lives on in my username. It's not capitalized because I'm lazy - I have nothing against capitalizing proper nouns.

    What Are You Reading? - #2

    I'm reading Devil In The White City by Erik Larson, which describes the construction of the World's Fair in parallel with the story of H. H. Holmes, the first serial killer in US history. It's described as 'novel-like' but it definitely reads like non-fiction. H. H. Holmes though is a scary...

    Driving

    Ha, me too and I'm only 21! I've been a licensed driver for almost five years now (scary thought). I've knocked the side mirror off twice but other than that no accidents or tickets. I don't drive that often now, just when I drive home or to Ann Arbor for a football game, or go grocery shopping.

    Do you by any change know doubleohfive or RedFenix? Those might be separate meetups... I don't know anyone from this board but I've met nine people from the sister board (Trekbbs) in RL.

    Doctor Who!

    Some spoilers on the upcoming Children In Need Special found here. Should be fun! As far as Rose goes, I don't hate her but I DO think she's a very selfish character. I'd have liked her a lot more if she didn't treat Mickey so poorly (Boomtown, Parting of the Ways in particular) and if she...

    NFL - National Football League

    1. Adrian Peterson is amazing. 2. The Eagles still aren't looking good and have terrible special teams. 3. The Pats look unstoppable. 4. Good to see the Saints get back on track. I'm 7/13 this week in my pro football pickem with tonight's game to go, which puts me 4th out of 25. One of my...

    NCAA Football

    ^I figured it was just a typo. Sorry 'bout that! If Penn State had played the way they played against the Badgers against UM and the Illini, we'd be looking pretty good right now. At any rate I'm looking forward to the 27th when we have an excellent chance of knocking off the #1 ranked team.

    Heroes

    Bit of a slow start, and they cannot write high school for the life of them (but really, what TV show or movie has gotten it right???). I imagine things will begin to pick up soon.

    NCAA Football

    ^It's Purdue... I hear Clausen might have lost his starting job? I do feel sorry for the kid, since his o-line is terrible and he's being thrown in there without any real experience...getting sacked every other play probably isn't how he envisioned the start of his collegiate career. But, at...
