Some of my favorite episodes... Man hands, Low talker, sponge worthy, and the episode where Jerry is dating a girl who is deaf and can read lips. The line "She's not a novelty act George!" Is freaking hilarious!! :lol: Oh yeah, and "Worlds are colliding!!!" :lol: :wink:

I haven't been playing MW2 for months. I own the 360 and the PS3, but unless the game is an exclusive, I buy the 360 version. Microsoft's online component is 1000 times better than Sony's. Get your ass on the Transformers game and I'll school your ass! :lol:

Nah, not getting a xbox. They're too damn fugly.

And yeah, I caught glimpses of it. I watch at least 3 hours a day of soccer now, so I don't have the time to watch much else though. You've played tennis? It's pretty fun.

Yeah Parfait, I have played Tennis. It is pretty fun, but I always preferred racket ball. More of a contact sport. Nothing like getting beamed in the back of the head or thigh with a racket ball going 80 miles an hour! :shock: :lol:

Damn, I forgot about those two! The answering machine episode was classic. :lol: Bubble boy, the episode in the parking garage where they get arrested for urinating, the one where George get's fired, but refuses to leave and camps out under his desk with a candy bar. :lol: Oh, and the one where Kramer starts to work at a company and after turning in some work his boss goes "it's like you have no formal education or training whatsoever". Kramer goes "I'll work weekend's, evenings, whatever it takes", and his "boss" goes... "that's the funny thing... we've looked at your records, and you don't even work here!" :lol: :lol:

I loved this show. I would even watch reruns all the time. And the last season I didn't laugh out loud very much. I liked it but not as much. Then when it was over, it was on reruns right after work. And I watched the last season all over again, and it was brilliant. It wasn't supposed to be LOL funny, but more of their wry, subtle, sarcastic humor. I loved the ending also.

I was pretty damn good at it back in the day! I haven't been able to play it for years now, because of my knees. I can't downhill ski anymore either. :cry: The doctor told me I developed "runner's knee" and arthritis about 8 years ago.

Once I quit running, most of the pain went away, but I REALLY miss going on a good run. Nearly ANY exercises hurt my knees now. Pretty depressing. :cry:


Well, newer studies have shown that running is in no way harming the bones, tissues and ligaments, but is in fact strengthening it. A lot of doctors don't keep up with the studies, and that's really too bad. What causes problems is the person's running technique and shoes. Overpronation and supination coupled with bad shoes is usually the main cause for problems. To pay 300 bucks for a pair of running shoes is ridiculous - cause not one god damn study has shown padded running shoes to help against the prevention of running related problems.

Wear a pair of Vibram Five Fingers for example (www.vibramfivefingers.com) and drop the orthotics - and that would have most likely solved your problems, Jim.

To pay 300 bucks for a pair of running shoes is ridiculous - cause not one god damn study has shown padded running shoes to help against the prevention of running related problems.

Wear a pair of Vibram Five Fingers for example (www.vibramfivefingers.com) and drop the orthotics - and that would have most likely solved your problems, Jim.


All I know is I was a runner and did from six mile up to 13 mile races in my 20s, and I developed severe knee pain and shin splints. it was horrible. I was fitted for a pair of orthotics by a podiatrist, and my problems went away and was able to resume longer distance running again.

Years later I developed knee pain above my knee cap from overexercising with weights. I blame my trainer. But after rehabbing and such, I still had severe pain when trying to run and gave up for years. One day instead of just straight walking, I began running again, pushing through the pain, and walking for stretches when it became unbearable, but would always pick back up running and push thru for as long as I could, mixing the walking with running. Eventually as I added on miles, the pain went away completely, for the most part, and I was able to eventually run three to six miles without pain again.
