I respect vegetarians. You guys have much more will power than I do. My wife has me eating alot less meat, which is probably good for me in the long run. And milk is the greatest conspiracy ever.

I love milk. Especially with cereal.
Every vitamin and mineral you get from milk you can get from leafy greens in greater abundance, and with about 90% less fat.

Huh.. what kind of leafy greens?
Funny thing is back when I cashiered I only saw black people buy collard greens and escarole and kale >_>
Which I thought was interesting.

In the event of a tie at the end of the time limit, the player with the most stocks wins, otherwise the player with the lowest percentage wins. If both Players have the same percentage, the players will quit the SUDDEN DEATH, set the stock to one, and start a match with stage being the same as where they had the tie. this determines winner.
Each Round is best of three matches; Finals are best of five matches
Singles seeding will be random with some courtesy to crews – you will be spaced evenly as to prevent playing each other in the first round. One of the two criteria must be fulfilled in ordered to be favored. You MUST have 3 or more people in a group hailing from the same region, or you must be part of a crew. Teams seeding will be done randomly.
In case more than 64 people come, Singles seedlings will be determined by pools – each player will be assigned to a pool, and each pool will play 2 Three (3) stock matches in a round robin. If a player wins a match, he must inform an official of how much stock he had remaining. Players will continue to play with each other until each player has played all of the other players in the pool twice. The lowest ranking players will be cut off from each pool, so much so until it meets the conditions of a 64-man bracket. All stages for pools are picked randomly, and all character selections will be double blind pick – both players must whisper their character choices for that match to an official, and then immediately select those characters afterwards.

Pretty much what you just named: kale, broccoli, spinach, and things like that. And my mistake, they don't have quite as much calcium as milk, but it's worth the trade-off in reduced fat content.
The whole "black people and collard greens" thing is pretty much a Southern thing, so that's where that comes from.
Cort

What about uh.. low fat milk? And the availability/convenience of drinking it.
o_O Anyway, I'm kind of tired, but not really.
I watched the Ocean's movies (11, 12, 13) and highly suggest 11 and 13. 12 was only okay.

Screw that,I'll add something useful.
10-11-12, there'll probably be debate.
Budai beat spawn in tournament, which no one else below him can say they did, while MikeMoney's bracket doesn't really show how good he may be.
Nus isn't there because he asked to be taken off this list, and we complied, Blue, Rep and Justin were taken off because they haven't been active lately, tournament wise.

And Rep is better than a lot of people on there...him and I came in 2nd at CTcon in teams.
Otherwise, freaking exactly what I had typed out last night and then didn't post...good ****!

^the only reason that's not funny to me is because it's already been done on the opposite side. the original slogan was from PETA and it was something like "for every animal you eat, i'll save 2" or something. so it's not that it's attacking vegetarianism...it's just not original.
now the t-shirt i saw that said "meat is murder...but i'm cool with that" is ****ing hilarious.
