We did not have the privilege of having a dishwasher in college. Hence my dishwasher-related developmental retardation.
Ours didn't get as impressive as 3 feet, though. I observed it when it started oozing out the sides, and was able to shut the thing down and transfer the bubbles/wipe out the soap while shrieking incoherently.
Hahaha, your kitchen stories rock. I don't have much to tell, just the old "tried to extinguish grease fire with water" thingies. Eyebrows do take a long time to grow back.
Okay, so I did a wet test of my feet (me and Mr. DG are planning to go buy actually decent running shoes tonight since we've both been having minor knee pain with our old shitty sneakers), and I have a pretty high arch. But looking at my feet/ankles and the location of my knee pain and my stride, I'm pretty sure I'm over-pronating.
It's when you make your foot damp and then step on a piece of paper to see what shape your print is. If almost your whole foot appears, you have low arches. If there's only a narrow strip connecting your heel to the ball of your foot, you have high arches.
High arches usually lead to under-pronation (your feet normally tend to roll outwards a bit). But my ankles appear to roll inward, which is what happens when you have low arches.
Basically my feet and lower legs are stupid and messed-up.

That is unfortunate.
Probably calls for expensive shoes, to boot.
I'm the opposite of flat-footed, actually - I have high arches. But my feet apparently act as though they were flat. Which is a pretty stupid thing for them to do.
They roll inward. I noticed this on the long run I planned yesterday, which I had to walk the last chunk of because my knee was complaining - I also noticed that if I used whatever those muscles alongside my shins are to tense my ankles outward a bit, then my knee didn't bother me as much (those muscles got tired really fast doing that, though).

Let me rephrase my question:
Do your toes flip in, out, or stay straght when your legs go back?

An ex-girlfriend's father had this problem - his feet rolled inwards. He was a tubby dude to boot, and it had caused him no end of knee, leg and hip problems. I'd recommend that you get it actually professional checked out early if at all possible.
They're fucked. At the very least they have to say it to technically uphold aviation safety and hygiene standards.
Incidentally I'm not entirely sure flying that class after a few trips is going to be desirable...then again I suppose I've slept in motel beds. Still...confined space with recirculated air...

I'm not positive, but I think they're either staying basically straight or flipping a tiny bit out.
I've never had problems walking, but when I run it's painful after a while. Basically everything from my knee down is tilted to the right, just on my right leg.
So if I position both my feet facing straight forward, my right knee will be pointing to the left. And my natural stance is with the left foot forward, but the right foot facing 2 o'clock.

So IGN's video game reviews are pretty wretched in general, but I'm finding IGN Australia's reviews decent. I wonder if there's a reason for this.
Like, do Australians have better taste than I'd given them credit for as some sort of collective unconscious?

So I'm torn on picking up Eternal Sonata. It seems to be a really interesting high concept (a musical-allegory RPG played inside Frederic Chopin's fevered dreams as he lies dying), but insofar as I can tell, it kind of falls flat in trying to do anything really interesting with it. Also, I didn't finish Blue Dragon, so maybe I just don't have it in me to actually trudge through JRPGs anymore.
Also, Mass Effect comes out in like a couple of weeks and there's a whole lot of other stuff I need to play on the Xbox. I just feel like I'm kind of missing out and/ or failing to support a project that actually took a chance with an interesting theme in the vidja.

I'm trying to determine if there was some subtle musical joke intended here.

Not intended if there was. I would have been all lame and obvious and used "tempo" or "beat" or something.

The "flat" makes it look like a possibility.

Ah. Bolded what I initially seen anyway. This talk of music is making me want to pick up some sheet music and find some access to a piano...somewhere.

Also, I started a subscription to Play magazine. I remember enjoying it and thinking that they had an interesting approach vis a vis "games as art," but I'm finding myself getting annoyed at their really heavy pro-Japanese game bias. It's like their editor is Ketchum_Ash or something.

I know that now.
I learned that dish soap cannot be substituted for dishwasher detergent back in college. The kitchen was literally filled with three feet of suds.
Ours didn't get as impressive as 3 feet, though. I observed it when it started oozing out the sides, and was able to shut the thing down and transfer the bubbles/wipe out the soap while shrieking incoherently.
My grandfather did that once. He accidentally put dishwashing liquid in the machine in stead of dishwasher liquid. We all shared a laugh.
What.
All I understood was pain, high arch, and ankles. I think.
What is a wet test?
High arches usually lead to under-pronation (your feet normally tend to roll outwards a bit). But my ankles appear to roll inward, which is what happens when you have low arches.
Basically my feet and lower legs are stupid and messed-up.

Probably calls for expensive shoes, to boot.
If she has high arches and is over-pronating that means she has really high arches.
What do your feet do when you run, Grace?
At least, in my experience.

In hindsight drinking 4 rum and cokes last night was not a good idea at all. Ugh.

How classy of me.
The idea of not sucking at an old-style Castlevania confuses and frightens me.
It's okay, I would eat cream cheese with a spoon, if I were provided with a tub of cream cheese. And a spoon.

Haha.
Seriously though, if you take mediocre mexican food and dump sour cream on it I'll probably enjoy the hell out of it.
You could go for, like, chevre or something. That way you can shovel cheese into your gob like an Arkansas housewife only act all classy about it.
