It's probably illegal to even think about posting the recipes from this book.

Oat-Molasses Turkey Burger with Vermont Cheddar
1-2 tablespoons olive oil (to season grill or skillet)
4 tablespoons quick-cooking oatmeal
4 tablespoons Vermont maple syrup
4 teaspoons molasses
2 pounds ground turkey
8 3/4-ounce slices Vermont Cheddar
4 large soft flour wraps ((I used wheat buns, screw that sissy wrap shit))
---
Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet, wiping down the grate or the skillet with olive oil before heating over a medium-high flame.
In a small bowl, combine the oatmeal, maple syrup and molasses. Set aside until the oats are softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and mix well with the ground turkey. Form into 4 oblong burgers about 3/4 inch think (this shape will roll more efficiently in the wraps). ((which is why I formed them as regular burger patties, and not wussy hippy wrap-friendly shapes))
Cook the burgers until done through: 5 minutes per side on the grill, and 7 minutes per side in a skillet. A few minutes before removing the burgers, place 2 slices of Cheddar on each and cover the grill or skillet to melt the cheese. Serve each burger rolled up in a wrap sliced in half. ((if you're a pansy; otherwise, bun it up, fool!))
Seems like a strange concoction, I know, but I highly recommend it. It's like a weird awesome breakfast burger. Seasoned french fries or a sliced apple would probably make the best sides.
The Gifts that I've given to Mish have been pretty varied! last year i got her a Symphony Bar and I threw her a small bottle I made with a rose in it. She seemed to like it, but honestly, seeing each other is more of a treat than anything else!
My girl got me an Opeth DvD because she knows me like a book, but I have about 0 dollars to my name and i cant think of anything sweet to do for little or no money.....ahh well, she'll just hate me for a few minutes right?
RIGHT?

Make her a card!
OR make her dinner. Make it a candle light dinner. Cheap, but your girl will LOVE it. Have music playing in the background, she'll think it's incredibly sweet
find one of the rare pictures of yourself (I don't know if any photographic evidence of you actually exists) and shoop it up to look like pulling a zombie out it's heart in an offering of love.
That's a great idea Lauren. I wasn't sure what to do next time I saw my girlfriend. Cooking dinner is perfect, I'll just have to kick a friend out of his room since I don't have a stove.

I sort of did that, except it didn't have me in it haha, nor were there zombies involved but the basis was the same. And it went surprisingly well! She doesn't hate me and i don't feel bad for not getting her anything!
Haha, I got a card from my mom that was probably the sweetest thing I've ever received from her (our relationship, as it is with the rest of my family, is one of understood love- we don't display any of it), and inside the card was my expired passport! I had asked her to send it to me the day before for official document reasons
Okay so I think this is relevant to this thread: On campus here there's a charity fundraiser type thing, where you get to pay to beat up a car. There's a bunch of people shouting "Had a bad Valentine's Day? Bash a car!!!"
$1 gets you 4 hits, and $2 gets you 10. They probably just got a beat up car body from a scrap yard, but it still made me laugh as I walked by and saw a guy pummeling this car with a sledge hammer. I know a few people who might be interested in donating to a charity of their choice for a few takes at smashing a vehicle, but they don't live in Austin.
I'm... quite disturbed by this. Seriously, this is what these people consider to be a good time? Smashing a car painted with another school's colors? Why associate such violence with another school?
I've never understood school spirit. It seems foolish and reductive to me.

Lol, you're telling me you don't like watching a tank rolling over a car that no one was going to use ever again? School spirit, psh. That's just an excuse to get the tank. I'd go just to say "Wow, this is completely ridiculous, but nonetheless awesome."
Going to a school as huge as mine, it's hard to avoid the school spirit. Did you ever go to a school with a good sports team of any sort? It can actually be quite entertaining. Although I haven't been to any of the football games here, I want to at least ONCE before I graduate, even though I don't really care about football at all. It's just an excuse to get excited about something!
This is not meant to be an offensive post, so please don't take it that way, anyone. It's only meant to continue conversation:
Usually this kind of thing is completely harmless, obviously.
It's just those few instances where things get out of hand and people take 'X' spirit into rivalry into bitter exchanges of words into violent acts. It creates artificial divisions between people.
I get somewhat annoyed when people bicker about sports teams, about this person being dumb for being such a [fill in the blank] fan when [insert another team name] is so much better. These sort of allegiances are obviously arbitrary--the teams don't even stay the same consistently, and the whole doesn't perfectly represent each individual part. It just seems to me like another example of wholesale allegiance, the kind of thing that leads to religious nuts and asshole people in general who want to shit all over everything except what they've arbitrarily claimed as their own.

Found this. Thought I'd share.
I got the hubby the Hitman trilogy last year. Not sure what I'll do this time around.

Booze and bitches aplenty!!!

Cooking for her has always worked for me!
And music is just the icing on the cake!!!!!
nothing like a little grindcore to set up that romantic atmosphere.
I like that, that's a brilliant idea. ahaha, funny thing is she'd love that.
EDIT:I think i'll make her a card, seems a little more personal....time to bust out the photoshop skills...
