this is a name-dropping friendly post, but don't overdo it; by that i mean, u r not invited, ginamaeglutz, sorry

My dad's birthday is coming up in a few weeks (conveniently just before Christmas...) and once again I am at a loss for what to get him. He lives in an apartment, and therefore does not have a barbeque. He does have a good sized balcony, though, and I was thinking maybe a gas powered grill or electric grill might be okay.

So first, does anyone know what the rules are about gas-powered grills on apartment balconies? I tried searching by-laws but had no luck.

Second, does anyone have any experience with grills of this sort? I'm specifically looking at ones like this one, or this one or this one. Thoughts?

Help! Me and my friends have decide to have an OU pokemon battle at the end of the month. They battle regularly over Wi-Fi, but I'm new to battling outside of in-game. I have some favorites picked out, but I have no EV/moveset training what-so-ever. And so I turn to you!!

1)      Starmie; modest 
ice beam
psychic
surf
recover
 

2)      Tyranitar; adamant 
earthquake
stone edge
crunch
 ??

 

3)      Electirvire; adamant
ice punch
cross chop
thunderpunch,
earthquake

4) Lucario; modest
shadow ball
aura sphere
vacuum wave
??

5) Metagross; Impish
Earthquake
Meteor Mash
Ice punch
??

6) snorlax



No, I have no idea what to do for snorlax's moveset
Yes, I am a noOb
Yes, these pokemon/movests are probably terrible, but this is my first team so I don't care.
And yes, don't be afraid to tell me I should use new pokemon, natures or moves.

Thanks in advance

...or the people at OUR toy's r us are just dumb. (Which half of them were) The thing wasn't working there, needless to say, and it looks like they're going to have to wait till monday to call a nintendo rep guy to see about it, so I was wondering if someone could trade me one? I'll probably go back next weekend or later in the week to try again, but just incase I don't I was wondering if anyone could spare or clone one? I can clone, but if you want to trade one to me to clone and have me give it back to you, I would like to test my connection first. It was always finnicky on pearl, and I haven't tried on platinum yet.

I can offer:
TRU Shaymin or Regigigas
TRU Manaphy
Gamestop Deoxys
Alamos Darkrai
(what were some of the other recent events?)
Oh, and that Lv.50 Dragonite (i knew i was forgetting one)
I got all of these completely legit by going to these events
Or name another pokemon and I'll see if I have it

However, I don't need 9 million of them, just one. (so please don't 9 million people come wanting to trade me one for these, if I already get one, but you still want one of these above mentioned poke's, just offer something else.

*Will be back on in a little while to check for replies*

I have a terrible habit of buying merch and never wearing it. So I've decided to get rid of a bunch of it. Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco, The Cab, My Chemical Romance, Cobra Starship and Empires. Everything is either new or has been worn once. I also have some posters and a DVD. Shipping is $5. I accept Paypal, money order or cash. Thanks for looking!

 Does anyone have the Kerrang with Oli Sykes on the cover from Oct 24 that they would be willing to sell me?
ashleychaos@gmail.com

i am very low on cash and need money to pay my car so i'm selling all my merch for NAME YOUR PRICE! if you live in las vegas, nevada then shipping is free because i'll hand deliver it to you otherwise i have to charge at least $3 for shipping because i can't afford to ship it for free and the more decent and less ripping off offer you give me i'll throw in bonus stuff like promotional posters and demos from record company's i know. :) thanks for anyone who goes through this post! if any of the pictures are crappy quality let me know and i'll take another one for you!

Hey everyone!
I was wondering if there was someone that would happen to have a Jac Vanek dogtag necklace they're willing to part with? I know they're up on her site but shipping is ridiculous. She sold them for $5 at Warped and I totally should have gotten one then but alas, I passed the offer up.
So anyone? Please?
:)

Also, does anyone have that brown bracelet thingy that was sold on the Taylor Swift Fearless tour? I'd kill for one of those.

All are gently used/new. Sizes range from girl's small (2 items) to adult 2XL. Most fall into the L/XL category.
Lots of Panic at the Disco shirts (20 of them!).

hey- i know it might be a long shot but i'm looking for a paramore "all we know is falling" promo poster (11x17 size-ish). i only ever had 2 of them and they both got ruined when i re-did my room. i want to hang up all three album promo posters in frames in my new room so if anyone has this for me i'd be so grateful :)

I just received a phone call from someone claiming to be part of the Toronto Police asking for a donation for and event or something being held at the Better Living Centre. I've never heard of the police calling for donations and I'm wondering if this is legit or not.

A few days ago I was challenged to a pokemon battle. Being caught off guard and a non-competitive battler, my lv. 72-83 pokemon were beaten. I posted here and everyone pretty much said the same thing - Smogen. Still, knowing nothing about movesets and strategy, I've pretty much just picked my faves that weren't on my other team and threw them together, hoping for the best. Here's what I got, suggestions are wanted more than a legit shiny mew. :P

Oh no! My friend and their sweetheart parted ways... we have plans to drink our sorrows away tonight, but...

... what, in this beautiful city on a sunny and mild Saturday afternoon, would you do to avoid thinking of your troubles?

We love exploring, but we're kind of bored with downtown, and the waterfront. Also, my friend lives in the Junction/Bloor West Village area, so we've covered that area as well. Is there anywhere fun (accessible by TTC) in Toronto we should explore? Go for lunch somewhere ridiculously funky? A market or garage sale or church bazaar we could hit?

The city is our oyster today...

Replaying through Red has made me realise that, despite the power of nostalgia, I really like the newer games better. Better graphics, better music, but most of all, no weird mechanics regarding the accuracy of Pokeballs.

Because in the original Red and Blue (not sure about Yellow), you can throw a Pokeball and MISS, usually in the Safari Zone or against a legendary. This is Supremely Annoying, because there is no indication of what makes you miss the Pokemon. In the Safari Zone, it's usually when you use bait (which is why, to this day, I do not use bait very readily). Earlier today, I was trying to catch Articuno, and kept missing for no readily obvious reason. Seriously, isn't Articuno really big? How do I miss a giant blue bird? I don't think the player character is that pants-on-head retarded, despite only ever saying Yes and No. What the hell.

Then I pressed A and Up while throwing, and not only hit the thing, but caught it (incidentally, it was at low HP and paralyzed). I'm beginning to see where all those rumours came from.

I got myself a used copy of Diamond and was all excited to see what was left for me and whoever owned the card previously completely cleaned house before putting it up for sale.

They could've at least left me Dialga.

Ah well. At least now I can transfer my team over onto it and play Battle Revolution and Pokefarm.

-_- i am all about to just give up trying to catch this thing. Ive been at it for a few days now and it just refuses to let me get even on the same route TT_TT whats worse is that when i switch routes to flush it somewhere closer,

BAM!

its on the route i JUST LEFT!!!

Dear Sweet Suicune, why do you hate me so?
was it the cloned Suicune i had in Gold? is that
why you persist in stabbing my eyes with Ice Beams?

If it must be then i'll gladely release it...them <:D
Just please....PLEASE suicune, reveal thyself and all thyn beauty
so that i may continue on my noble quest of breeding for a shiny charmander TT_TT

so im super stoked cause im seeing TAI @ The fall ball on Sunday! oh yay!
and ive heard uber awsome things.

but what i kinda wanna know is the set list? ive heard they're really mixing it up this time around.

and is there any good merch? lol my tai shirt is all small and from liek 2 years ago.
much appreciated! (:

oh and if anyone is going to the show lemme know!!

@ the crazy donkey ahah in longisland!!


-maegan,.

I'm looking for a nice (hard) hiking trail that's accessible via TTC, something that's a little more exotic than the places listed here http://www.toronto.ca/parks/recreation_facilities/discovery_walks/discover_index.htm. Has anyone been on any sweat inducing walks through some trees ?

Thanks,
