The Dean Martin DVDs are always good...except for when Regis starts trying to sing. I liked the Ronco knives but I've seen that one so many times it's boring now. The Magic Bullet commercial was good too, but they have a new Magic Bullet infomercial now with a bigger blender/juicer. Somewhat similar is the Cutlery Corner knife show on DirecTV channel 227. It comes on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday nights from like 9 PM to 4 AM...kind of like one huge infomercial; great to fall asleep to. The Showtime Rotisserie is a good one, as is the Express 101 (I think it's called) George Forman grill rip-off. I used to like the Pocket Fisherman too, but haven't seen it on TV in a long time.

I'm 23 and don't like the shorts. They're just too baggy. I'm okay with the length, but the bagginess makes them look like a skirt.

Well, after adjusting my driving habits on the website (65% city driving and 35% highway driving) it bumped my MPG's down to a combined 18. I suppose I now qualify, but I guess I'd have to actually talk with a dealership.

My stinking 1996 Jeep Cherokee doesn't qualify. According to fueleconomy.gov it gets a combined (keyword) 19 mpg. There's no way this thing gets that much. On a good day I might get 15 mpg out of it.

All great things. Also, things that could have been done via Classmates.com and a phone and other media. You're not going to find many college students happy about the changes Facebook has made over the years, but too late now.

Never said I'd be happy, I said that's what I would have done. There is life outside of Facebook.

Again, all of the sudden blocking people would create more drama than I really want to deal with. Also, if Facebook had stayed the same (which this isn't relevant because it's already changed) and closed your account once your college e-mail was deactivated, then so be it. I would have just gone back to using MySpace, like I did before I went to college.

Yet another problem created with allowing anyone on there. Since that happened, employers can get on there, and if they look hard enough, could find something to use against you. "Well, I see one time 3 years ago that you dropped the F bomb on your Facebook wall. Because of that, we've decided to go with someone else."

Then so be it. I'd probably just go back to using MySpace. Obviously you can't find the pity because you weren't there when it first started to see how much better it was.

Glad I'm not the only one.

Do you not think Facebook is quickly becoming more and more like MySpace? They're pretty much one-in-the-same to me now. Whenever Facebook introduces something new, MySpace has a similar feature within a couple days, and vice versa.

The likelihood of that is/was very, very small. No, I honestly do not like all of the other changes Facebook has made. Too much advertising, too many applications and nonsense on there. And yes, it was a bit like being in a country club and one day the club decided to let anyone and everyone come in and enjoy the facilities.

Could that not have been done on MySpace, which already allowed anyone to sign up?

And what kind of lecture would I get about that? *Ring Ring* "Hi mom." "Why did you block me on Facebook!?:madman:" or *Ring Ring* "Hi mom." "Why haven't you added me as a friend yet?"

Yes, but I don't think that's relevant. What I'm getting at is that, the day my parents (and my friends parents) joined Facebook, it was no longer fun, and continued use has only been out of habit.

With that, they added all these stupid quizzes, applications, etc. I constantly get some kind of invite to "Farmtown" or "Vampire Wars" and they're annoying. Luckily, they now allow you to block these, but I still get invites to new crap all the time. Not to mention the layout now is chaos. When I joined, you had a profile, and you could join groups. It was simple, yet fun, and I see no need for all of this new stuff. Allowing anyone to join has made Facebook less fun as well. I don't want my mom spying on me and knowing everything I'm doing at college via Facebook. When it started, Facebook was a college community, and while sometimes a bit raucous, everyone was pretty much on the same page. All of my friends that had Facebook years ago agree that it's gone way down hill and they should have never allowed anyone and everyone to join, but money talks, and more people mean more advertising dollars. :cry:

This is crazy. I am on the verge of deleting my Facebook page. It's too much crap now. When I first registered for Facebook (Fall of 2004) it was so much better than this. On top of all the general "crap" on there now, my parents have accounts, I know people's grandparents who have accounts, and I've seen dogs and cats with accounts. Facebook was great for the first two years and has quickly gone down hill since allowing people without valid, college e-mail accounts to register.

Jimmy John's.

That's dedication right there. I always get the sliced brisket (all you can eat) with cornbread and a sweet tea. My favorite sauce is the "sweet" sauce.

But their fish isn't good either.

Well they bill themselves as "Famous Seafood Since 1925." I got the fried fish sandwich, and the portion was huge, but other than that, it just wasn't impressive. My fiancee' got the crab cakes and we were both disappointed by those as well. I agree with you that unless it's on/near a coast, it's not going to be great seafood, but there was a whole lot of hype about this place, plus they had a sign out front saying they were voted one of Louisville's best restaurants. After going, I don't see how.

Well this thread got me in the mood. Just got back from all-you-can-eat beef brisket at Sonny's.

A little off topic, but I went to Mike Linnig's in Louisville, which is supposedly one of the best seafood places in the area and was severely disappointed. Yeah, the portion sizes were huge, but the wait and the food just didn't live up to the hype. You can get better seafood at Red Lobster or Joe's Crab Shack, IMO.

The Sonny's in Richmond is great. When I went they had all you could pulled pork, great sauces, and awesome cornbread. Tony Roma's has great ribs and chicken and it's over in Lexington Green. I lived in Lexington for 2 years and never heard of Old KY BBQ, Applecreek BBQ, or JJ McBrewsters.

I second this.
