Free and Fancy-Schmancy

Sat, 23 Jun 2001 12:39:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - I have lived in the St. Louis area for the last 12 years, and I can remember going to the St. Louis zoo when I was in second grade, and the most exciting thing to do was yell at the animals and run through the big water fountains. Now, I believe that I...

improved my game immediately

Sat, 16 Sep 2000 18:17:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - I guess I should start off by saying that I am a sophomore in college, I serve and volley, and play for an NCAA division III team. Last year, as a freshman, I was an all-conference player, and I was using the prince precision spectrum. However, that...

Best camp in the U.S.

Sun, 4 Jun 2000 02:55:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - Bollettieri's is generally regarded as the best tennis camp in the United States and if you go there you will find out exactly why. If you are a junior and want to go to a camp for the specific purpose of becoming a better player, then this camp is the...

Grade F meat: mmm delicious

Tue, 2 May 2000 11:06:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - I must admit, I love Taco Bell. Now, I know what you are saying, "Kevin, if you love it so much, then why don't you marry it?" And let me tell you, if Taco Bell were female, I would marry it.

Yes, Taco Bell has it all. It is cheap; I...

Grill: Scott, frankly you let me down

Sat, 22 Apr 2000 17:06:08 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - Well, after watching the minivan and beer commercials, I was all pumped up to see this one. The previous two were most excellent, and I anticipated a similar commercial from Scott. Well, he let me down. This commercial wasn't really funny, which...

Minivan: what is wrong with those people

Sat, 22 Apr 2000 16:39:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - I must say that this is a quality commercial. It is short, not annoying and brings out all the best things about epinions.com. The commercial shows that opinions here are brutally honest, and that you will find reviews that are very informative on...

AOL Instant Messenger: Helping me keep in touch with the ladies

Wed, 19 Apr 2000 13:45:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - So, here's a little anecdote for you (the truth of which you can debate with your co-workers or friends during a coffee break or a trip to see the newest flick). It's late August in southern Illinois. The weather is warm, and the sky is clear. Summer...

flushing the wonderful sport of tennis down the toilet

Sun, 9 Apr 2000 10:17:33 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - I am a member of the Johns Hopkins University Men's tennis team, and yesterday, we traveled to Lancaster Pennsylvania to play Franklin and Marshal in a conference match. We made the hour and a half trip for a match that was to have large impact upon the...

Southwest's planes fly better than rocks

Fri, 7 Apr 2000 14:47:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - So, I live in St. Louis and go to school in Baltimore, and both BWI and Lambert (the airports of Baltimore and St. Louis respectively) have rather large Southwest contingents, so I have taken quite a few flights on Southwest. Overall, I would say that...

not that great

Sat, 1 Apr 2000 19:37:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - I am a varsity tennis player at Johns Hopkins University (yes we have sports and nerds, its a great combination). Anyway, I must say that I don't really like Dunlop balls very much. Every once in a while, we get Dunlop balls instead of Wilson, and...

a decent stringer

Sat, 1 Apr 2000 15:34:46 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - I recently used a friend's Klippermate to string a few racquets, and I must say that after all the good things about this stringer, I was not that impressed. I have been stringing my own racquets for three years, and I have used many different stringing...

a nice string

Sat, 1 Apr 2000 14:55:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - For a long time I have used Prince synthetic gut with Duraflex 16 gauge, but recently, I decided to try going to a thinner gauge to get more touch in my game. I tried the duraflex in a 17 gauge, and though it improved my touch, I felt it wasn't durable...

the oxymoron that is Hopkins athletics

Tue, 7 Mar 2000 17:24:24 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - I would first like to say that when I saw this category I started to laugh. They should have just had a category for Hopkins Lacrosse because that's where all the money goes. Now I'm not saying the Lacrosse team doesn't deserve money because they are...

I dig St. Louis

Sat, 4 Mar 2000 15:38:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - For the last 11 years of my life, I have lived in the St. Louis metropolitan area (though I am now at Johns Hopkins University), and I must say that I dig St. Louis. There are so many cool things to do. You can go to a Cardinal's game at Busch stadium,...

phenomenal university

Thu, 2 Mar 2000 16:51:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - I am currently a Freshman with Sophomore standing at the Johns Hopkins University, and I must say that all of my experiences so far, especially in the area of academics, have been great. Hopkins is a research university, and as such, full time...

like hitting with a board

Thu, 2 Mar 2000 16:21:58 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - There are two aspects I look at when purchasing a string. First, it has to be fairly cheap, and second, it has to be playable. Gamma synthetic gut takes car of the first one easily. It is a low priced string; you can get it for about $4 from Holabird...

Dell Dimension XPS T600 w/DVD: Never has solitaire been this enjoyable

Sun, 27 Feb 2000 01:58:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - So, besides having to wait for over a month to get my computer after I ordered it, and the fact that I had to enlist help to get it to work when it didn't work when I got it (see my review on Dell computers in general for the complete story), this...

good string for a good price

Fri, 4 Feb 2000 14:00:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - Currently, I am a varsity tennis player at the Johns Hokpkins University, and as such, I am a pretty good player, and I have very little money. Though I have used many strings over my tennis playing days, I must say that I have used this string more...

1995 Probe: I like it

Fri, 21 Jan 2000 03:33:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - Last winter, my parents got my brother and I a car to cruise around the town in. Well, maybe I shouldn't say my brother and I because it is his car, but I get to drive it every once in a while. Anyway, it happened to be a 1995 Ford Probe. In the year...

these balls are solid

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 20:27:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - In my days as a tennis player, I have played with about every kind of ball out there. From grass court Slazengers to those silly pressureless balls (which in my opinion are completely worthless), I've hit with them all, and I think that Wilson U.S. Open...

ahh tradition, isn't it great

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 04:00:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - Well, for as long as I've been playing soccer, and its been 12 years and 4 broken bones, Sambas have always been great shoes. They last for a long time, and they are really comfortable. They offer great touch on the ball, and they aren't to terribly...

I must say that I do enjoy this van

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 03:42:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - So, I must admit I haven't driven this van much (I'm only a poor college student, I'd feel lucky if I had a pinto with three out of the four tires and no spark plugs) because it belongs to my parents, but from my experience, it drives really well. It is...

Wow, Ice Cube is actually really talented

Wed, 19 Jan 2000 02:16:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - I must admit, I am not a big fan of Ice Cube's rap music, but his films are absolutely hilarious. This sequel to "Friday" does everything that in my opinion a sequel should. Too many times, I see sequels that try to tie into the original film...

Sprint: This phone is the bomb-a-rama

Tue, 18 Jan 2000 20:42:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - Well, I tell you kids these days have all these fancy toys, and I'm glad that there is at least one toy for those of us who aren't so young anymore. This phone service is more fun than a barrel full of monkeys, and it is actually economically feasible...

Wow, this putter rocks

Tue, 18 Jan 2000 20:15:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bighair - Now I'm not going to lie to you. I am not a good golfer. I've worked for months on my short game, and a couple years trying to eliminate my slice, and I certainly never thought I would be a good putter. However, after purchasing this putter, putting...
