Never fear, your quick-fix to that alcohol poisoning you’ve always wanted is here: Red Bull.

Mix your drinks with vodka and Red Bull to get the “dirty piss” drink. Do you want it strong or weak? Piss gets weaker the drunker you are and the less Red Bull left over. Now you and your friends can stay up and drink until five (warning: for the newly initiated, the morning-after hangover is intense but able to be acclimated to).

Take your shots with a few drops of Red Bull and be shocked at how the evil vodka aftertaste disappears! One can of Red Bull may, in fact, do each party for the full night (especially as Red Bull is $%! expensive).

Remember: the more water you drink while you drink, the less the hangover will be! Keep that in mind the next time you want to get faced off your ass.

But srsly, manslut Riker is the best.

I hope they realize what a gold mine this whole Sarah Corvus character is, especially as Sackhoff’s very presence makes Michelle Ryan try harder to — to what? Get in character? Perhaps it’s just that their chemistry together as actors cackles with electricity. Sexual or nonsexual, however one sees it, Jaime and Sarah play well together.

Katee Sackhoff is always one to play crazy like crazy.

No, seriously.

Let’s say that you put back one hundred dollars a month for eighteen years into a savings account for your kid’s college expenses. Without interest, your total is $21,600.

Let’s say you smoke a pack a day. Forgetting leap years, because they’re a bother, a pack a day at five dollars a pack over eighteen years is $32,850.

Even if you smoke a pack a day but buy by the carton, forty-dollar, ten pack cartons at a pack a day (three cartons a month) for eighteen years is still $25,920.

Now, seriously, stop smoking and send your kid to college.

I’ve been a smoker for two years, but it’s time for me to quit now, before I get sick, before I have kids to worry about, before I spend even more money than I have. I bet I’ve spent a figure just below fifteen hundred dollars on cigarettes. In two years! I’m twenty, do you know how many shoes that is?

Smoking is a poor man’s vice and a rich man’s fancy, but the ones hurt most are the kids — the ones who start smoking and the ones who don’t even realize that their college expenses are burning up right before them.

Moms, dads, if you can’t do it for yourself, do it for your kids. Does that sound snobby and overbearing, especially coming from a smoker? Just ask yourself why you can’t save a hundred dollars a month for your kid but can afford your cigarettes.

Great use of images to catch your eye with post titles & with categories in the sidebar, and a beautiful Jack Sparrow banner at the top. The colors are complementary and easy to read. I hope somebody likes it and uses it!

Wish I’d known that before I went through and deleted every post of Karmacon, looking for a buggy post! Next time, I’ll just google the URL giving me trouble.

Time to look for some quick layouts to use as placeholders while I figure out the new tagging system.

Probably handy for people who want to combine elements from this theme with one they already like by viewing the code for help. 2.3 compliant & now with tags & tag clouds.

Simple, 3 Column layout. Header area contains title & banner spot (currently empty). Just beneath is a band of color with links such as “home” and “about.” Footer contains the necessary homage to Wordpress & the credit for the theme link.

Body columns
Categories, archive link, calendar view on the left.
Content in the middle.
Tags, blogroll/links, meta content/links, and search on the right.

What’s that mean? My tags don’t work. The two tagging systems are battling for supremacy, & WP is winning, but UTW is already coded into the theme. Lesson learned: always do upgrades when you’ve got the time.
