I was talking with some guys earlier (okay, it was TAN, but that's how I introduce conversations I have online) and Nick Cannon's unfortunate casting as Richard F. Pryor in an upcoming film led to a discussion of abysmal casting choices, which led to my eternal nomination whenever this topic...

Okay, so I'm considering funneling my childhood dreams of wearing a championship belts and a desire for exercise outside of EA Sports' NFL Training Camp and my two trusty 20-pounders into a pursuit of MMA training and was wondering if anybody here had any special insights to share about getting...

This thread is for anybody who has written a book, who is writing a book, who is thinking about writing a book or thinks they can write a book. (It's not as hard as it seems.) If you have an idea for a book and don't know whether it's any good, feel free to post in in here for honest feedback...

I might be showing my age, but I just randomly started thinking about these "words" this morning and was surprised how many I remembered. I have a ****** memory...I forget birthdays, errands, deadlines, you name it. I couldn't even tell you what I was wearing yesterday unless I actually looked...

Most of y'all are aware of the rallies going on in Brazil. If not, they say it's over an increase in bus fare, but that's really only the last straw. What set the people off are high taxes, a sluggish economy, inefficient healthcare, government corruption and misuse of taxpayer funds on...

First it was shooting up buses, now strip clubs...I fully expect someone to do a drive-by from the El before the year is out. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/05/23/philly-man-shoots-up-strip-club-with-ak-47-after-dj-plays-wrong-song/ (vid won't embed)...

I didn't see anything else about this, but apparently this kid has been held without bail for over a week. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/teen-faces-terror-charges-boston-marathon-facebook-post-article-1.1334038 Cam Dambrosio via Facebook  Cameron D’Ambrosio, a Massachusetts high...

Space has always fascinated me, so this morning I was randomly looking up all kinds of stellar **** when I stumbled across this collection showing what our visual perspective would be on other planets based on their actual size and scale with the moon's placement. Peep: Moon (for comparison)...

I know plenty of NTers are dreaded out so I figured I'd solicit some advice on not looking stupid in the near future. So I wanted a new look to go with my new lifestyle so I've been growing my hair out for the past year or so. It's about 2" long when I pick it and way longer the one time my...

Happened a few blocks from where I live. I'm not the undisputed world champion of parents, but you can do a little better than that, mami.

I've always thought there should be separate seating sections in restaurants/movies/airplanes for people who choose to bring their younger children. It's something that's being discussed for a few establishments around here and a lot of people have a problem with that. More people than you...

...isn't given in the form of housing/utility bill credits and supermarket/kids' clothing store gift cards. Yes, this was inspired by the Chief Keef thread, but it's something that has vexed me for quite some time. Skipping over ridiculous celebrity cases (Nas, TO, *insert your favorite*)...

Now, don't get me wrong. I like getting my **** wet as much as the next guy. In fact, I probably like it a bit too much, which is why I ended up getting a gift for Father's Day last year. That said, it just seems like everyone is always waving their sex organs around ALL THE TIME nowadays. The...

Anybody else hooked on this show? Basically, they go around and profile all these weirdos who wanted a little TV time for their weirdness. Last night was about a guy who calls himself an "adult baby" and he...well, it--ah, screw it, let's go to the videotape. There are truly all kinds on this...

Since I've fielded a few questions from legitimately interested parties about doing this, and don't think I'm the only one on NT who does, I thought a thread might be a good place to pool our resources as well as let those curious about punching a time clock for the last time in on our little...

So, over the weekend, I had an intense debate with a new single mother about the appropriateness of my new book ("...Expecting the Worst", an examination of the concept of being knocked up from the side of the equation without a choice) and she basically said that not only is it one of the worst...

...you should have to live for a predetermined length of time on minimum wage. How can you be mindful of the needs of your constituents when you have no perspective on those who need the most help? I believe many of the problems with our government stem from the fact that most of our...

This is kind of a random question, but I'd be interested to see what y'all come up with on the subject. There are 7 billion people on the planet. Of these, 80 or 90% will reproduce at least once (and usually more). My mathleticism is way lacking, but that's a lot of damn people and the number...

Mostly an update for anybody that cares, partially an excuse to put this post on NT, just so that's out of the way. I see worse threads on page 1. Some of y'all might remember that just a month or 2 ago, I was thisclose to having to visit my parents indefinitely. I had no job since March...

Woulda thrown this in TAN, but people are always telling me to make threads...watch this be the one time it goes in reverse. Anyway, nothing like not seeing your main for a week or 2 and she comes back rag-surfin', eh? :rolleyes :{ Either that or you find out the tide rolled in just in time for...
