  2. ...Tired

    Waiting Tables really sucks Donating Plasma pays more and takes less effort...but both pays even better.

    I really, really, like the Longines Legend Diver...and it's cheaper by quite a bit.

    *BLARGH*

  5. Quest for the Grail

    In the same way that Indiana Jones was searching for the Holy Grail, I know what I'm looking for, just not what it will look like.

    Current contenders:

    Breitling Avenger II Seawolf
