    Best show of all time: Sopranos, The Wire, Mad Men or Breaking Bad?

    The Wire is easily the best television series that has ever been written. The other series are excellent, but there is something so insightful and deeply visceral about the Wire, that it teeters on the verge of masterpiece.

    I had to smack a fool on the boat.

    Why does this thread immediately come to mind? No disrespect to the OP, but the language is eerily familiar.... http://www.styleforum.net/t/217047/brag-thread

    Amy Winehouse Dead

    As predictable as this may have been, it is still very sad news. It is unfortunate that she couldn't have been forcibly removed from her environment and made to complete a more thorough program of rehab. She was so immersed in that lifestyle that it was almost impossible to expect that she...

    69 hot dogs in 10 minutes

    I will celebrate this triumph of the human spirit with you; he is truly a giant among men. Strangely, I always think of that movie "Human Caterpillar" when I read about this guy.....he would have brought a certain gravity to that film.

    ExperienceWith Prep Schools?? (Part 2)

    I went to a good prep school and it was a great experience that prepared me well for my subsequent years of study. It has taken some convincing to get my wife on board with eventually sending our children to private schools since she has (or had) a fixed belief that these schools are bastions...

    hiking/backpacking

    I started with a medium ALICE pack that I picked up from the local Army surplus store. It is big enough for 1-3 day outings, is really durable, and is actually pretty comfortable. And it was under $30!!! If you want to start with a fairly inexpensive pack, give it a thought. You can purchase...

    21st century women can be difficult

    To the OP, As someone who works > 60 hours per week and is the father of 2.5 year old twins, I think I can support this as some of the more sound advice that has been offered so far. You married this woman for a reason, so recognize that she is not a "bad" person. You entered this union with...

    Ph.D. or PhD on business card

    Just noticed that this thread was resurrected from 2007. What's the deal?

    Ph.D. or PhD on business card

    The etymology of the word "doctor" is traced back to the Latin "docere", which means "to show, teach, or cause to know". The convention of referring to the physician as "doctor" in the English language dates back to the 1300's. It was around this time that the term was also used to apply to...

    Captain America Movie Thread

    Any Biologists/Chemists here? (That means you Doctors/dentists/pharmacists)

    To the OP, If you are trying to figure out what to do with your undergraduate science degree (that is the vibe I'm getting off your post), then I would highly recommend that you shadow or volunteer in different settings and see what is involved. I am an academic physician and my day is divided...

    Med School Interview Help

    Say goodbye to life for a few years, then reap the rewards of the investment you've made. I might adopt a slightly different tack and suggest that you enjoy these years as much as possible. I actually had some of the best times of my life during medical school. It was a real "burn the candle at...

    Health Administration

    Because someone with an ability to read a P&L has to keep your narrow asses in business and the pay cheques flowing. That Lexus you're driving didn't end up in your garage because you're noble.

    Office essentials

    Okay, I'm about to give you one of Piob's pieces of advice to run your life by. Never have more in your office or cubicle than what you can fit into one box. In the first year of my first white collar job I saw a few people let go. Absolutely nothing worse than having to make multiple trips to...

    Med School Interview Help

    Got an interview next Tuesday for med school (University College London.) Any advice from physicians/med students would be most appreciated! 1) I would recommend that you have a prepared answer to the usual ice-breaker, "tell us a little about yourself". It seems like the simplest question, but...

    psycho snow plow guy

    what if your job was on the line? A hour can mean a lot for some people (in which he should have come out and helped instead, but oh well). I appreciate your empathy, but in today's world we should all be thankful to be gainfully employed. If this guy's job is under threat in any way, the last...

    blood in saliva???

    It sounds like you have a history of dyspepsia since you have had an upper endoscopy and a barium study in the recent past, and you have Tums on hand (why did they do the colonoscopy if you are only 27?). I seems pretty likely that you had a bad episode of reflux that night, particularly given...

    psycho snow plow guy

    I doubt the police would do anything about it, but it would probably be worthwhile to notify them that a threat was made, if for no other reason than to have some documentation that you pursued the usual conventional channels. I would certainly speak to the family that employs this degenerate...
