I got Charleston S.C., Tacoma, and L.A.  And then Oakland, of course.  Not bad compared to some of these results.

Maybe they are anticipating (not unreasonably) that in 15-30 years, when a lot of the people taking this test hope to retire, Oakland will be the only remotely affordable place in the Bay Area.  Same with Tacoma possibly?

Take a retirement test?  Might as well take the astronaut test.  I'd like to spend my golden years on Mars.

That must be brutal for one's skin. Yay for moisturizers!

My pants are a little too snug after washing them. The seller said they'd stretch out more after wear, but right now I look like a fucking hipster.

On the upside they're not so tight you're a sex pest. Well, not yet.

An awesome name for a scientist:

Dr Hurricane

"Hurricane's research focuses on weapons physics, high energy density physics (HEDP) science, the theory of plasmas, and plasma instability. He has authored 44 journal publications and 54 conference papers, largely in the area of plasma physics and HEDP.  He was the lead Secondary Designer for W87 warhead during most of its life extension program (LEP).  He has received several awards and honors, including the U.S. Department of Energy Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award for National Security and Nonproliferation in 2009 and four Department of Energy Defense Programs Awards of Excellence."

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

Oklahoma restaurant that won't serve 'f*ggots' gets Internet push as 'best gay bar'

The owner of an Oklahoma restaurant who declared last week that he won't serve "freaks," "f*ggots," the disabled, or people on welfare now finds himself the victim of an online campaign to brand his establishment the "Best Gay Club" in Oklahoma City.

Gary James of Gary's Chicaros restaurant told KFOR last week that "I really don't want gays around. Any man that would compromise his own body would compromise anything."

The "gays" have responded on Yelp and Facebook by declaring James's establishment the "best place for hot man sex!"

I don't see any need to celebritize this man.

Does anyone know of any way to monitor websites for updates?
Sometimes sites have an RSS feed but I mean if there is no such thing.
Its a pain to have to keep checking bands websites on the off chance they have updated their live schedule.

If he was smart, he'd embrace the notoriety. Have the staff dress up like the Village People, rename the house cocktail the "Glory Hole", etc.

So, in their mind, labeling a restaurant a gay bar is the ultimate insult?

You have to be gay I guess.
