thats why they made tums. If you feel like your going to upchuck always try to get a few tums inside before you do even after drinking. Kills that acid and you will feel much better than you normally would after puking.

not exactly, the stomach problems only surface when im eating spicy food. drinking has no effect on me other than magnification of my poor decision-making skills

I learned that watching the BCS championship game in 3d at the theater was fairly ok, but had these issues:

Far away cameras either had one side unfocused, or worse, got 'lazy eye' (which was really disturbing.)

The director was totally whack.

The camera placement was totally whack.

Two sets of the polarizing glasses worked *wonders* for the eye fatigue, and made the picture look better, and still was 3d, and *then* it became tolerable to continue watching, because the production overall was whack.

*for the most part* there wasn't a lot of "zOMG lookit we're shooting a 3d thingy!!11!1eleventygratuitous3dspecialeffectsscen e!1" which was neat, just a football game, but the problems kinda overshadowed the coolness of it all...

Still, it was neat. They need to improve it, but for a first try... 7 out of 10. Not bad.

/They had beer at the theatre, and they carried it to ya! "Beer here!!!" they'd yell.
//was missing the "popcorn, Peanuts!" and "Cotton Candy!" guys...
