For the record and since absolutely no one asked.... it looks like new Les Pauls are roughly the same price as a professional level wind instrument (in the $2-3k range) while the Red Special is in line with most intermediate level wind instruments (around $1k). That's neither here nor there, of course, but you would naturally compare each instrument to others in the same price range as a starting point.

I think those are Brian May Guitars, so it's the custom he built for himself originally.

Happy Birthday!

That’s a really stupid question by the way.

I’m sending D-Lo and Rui over to launch bricks at Buddy’s house.

Nice.

You would have known that if you played fantasy ball with us.

Fuck. I mean, that checks out, but still.

I dunno man, I mean comparing me to that dude.... Aw hell. Apology accepted. *cranks up sound to ear splitting level*

Ok, now you're just being mean.

In the US, everything is heavily regulated, but a lot of swordfish comes from Mexico, where regulations aren't quite as good. It's especially true for fish that's imported into the middle of the country. You have a better shot of getting safer and responsibly caught fish on the coasts where you have a more direct line to local fisherman. Indeed. The key is that all three you mentioned are higher up the food chain. For similar reasons larger members of the tuna family (Pacific Blue or Yellowtail, for instance) have a higher risk of heavy metal because the primarily consume smaller fish and crustaceons that might be exposed to it though coastal toxic waste dumps or territorial water effluence. It's become less of an issue as first world nations have been taking a concerted effort to clean up their discharge and make improvements in stormwater mitigation. Still, in general, it's best to avoid the predator fish from pelagic waters unless you live close to the ocean. As an aside, Halibut is also a high level predator fish. However, it comes from colder waters, meaning its mostly harvested form areas where there is less toxic effluence.

Never get swordfish - it's not sustainably caught and, because its an apex predator, it also tends to be loaded with mercury from all the prey fish it eats.

I got a twentieth, but I can't recall when and where it was supposed to be. They used some kind of service for emails and digital momentos. I still get the emails occasionally in my junk folder.

Happy Birthday!

Chappi’s a cool dude, though. Anyway, Happy Birthday,

Seen on the cargo deck of USS Enterprise 1701-D…. Riker: Look, Ikari, these away missions are what you trained for at the academy. Shinji: I don’t know, sir. We didn’t really talk about what happened after we landed. Riker: There’s no book for away missions. All those skills you learned are for these missions. You’re out there. Your senses are heightened. You can feel your pulse quicken. It’s time to stop thinking and becoming one with your…. Phaser. Asuka: Great. Data: There have been no reported readings of life signs on the surface in several cycles. Asuka: At least no one will see Shinji crying this time. Barclay: It’s okay Ensign, I see you. Geordi: What…? Shinji: This isn’t helping. Riker: Where’s your sense of adventure? You get to set foot on a planet that only a handful of living beings have laid eyes on. Shinji: Did they see anything? Riker: Sure Shinji: I’m not cut out to be a Security officer. Riker: You’ll be fine. Asuka: No, he won’t. Geordi: We’re going to miss the window for shuttle launch if this keeps up. Riker: Ensign Ikari, get in the shuttle. Shinji: *Whimpers* Asuka: Get in the shuttle, you coward. Shinji: I don’t wanna…. Riker: *Slaps Forehead * A nearby com chirps and a foreboding voice is heard. Gendo: I’ll handle this. Gendo: Shinji, get in the shuttle. Gendo: And clean up that pee spot.

That’s sounds really depressing.

It’s just past midnight, so the ghost train is just leaving the station.

So Star Trek with the characters from NGE?

She looks she’s praying to God to send her a ghosty to love. Saving France is lonely work, and he’s just the man to keep her warm at night.

What am I looking at?

Why you hating on black cats?

But not to Zune because ain't nobody have Zune.

Did you show up at his place of domicile with a birthday cake and hookers?
