Two of my three daughters would beg to differ. My third daughter was mortified that I would admit to still enjoying this movie.

I'm guessing that you refer to the book by Jack Weatherford? It is sooooo awesome! I heartily recommend his other books including the other Mongol volume. He even wrote a book about the history of money that was so much more entertaining and informative than the subject would suggest.

The first fight scene alone is worth the price of admission. Also, Steampunk Nazi Abominations.

We just came up with the villain, Griefers sent into the game to hamper Steve's efforts!

The Villain would be able to force a switch from creative to survival and enable/disable cheat codes.

Shit negro, that's all you had to say.

I just want to add to the anecdotal avalanche...lady Minecrafters outnumber the men in our household 3-2.

Nothing to do with this argument, but everyone seems to forget that without the assistance of France, we'd all be sipping tea and bowing as the Queen drove by. Vive la France!

The most popular paraphrase in our house riffs off of Jimmy's immortal question regarding the non-existent sign that is not on the front of his house. e.g.: "When you walked in here did you see a sign that said 'dirty laundry storage'? You know why?Because picking up your dirty laundry ain't my business!"

By full ride, I mean that their education will likely cost next to nothing. While I'd like to delude myself into thinking that my other two get to do all they would like, in all honesty, the time commitment with travel to practices, games and tournaments often leaves less time for other pursuits that their siblings…

Here's how I rationalize it. I have four kids and two are high level athletes. Not Olympic elite but in all likelihood full ride college scholarship well above average. Because we do not have considerable wealth, the opportunity to get two college educations paid for is a huge incentive. If they can go to school for…

Right there with you. If he announces for the presidency I'm putting up a sign in support of him for the same reasons. The national media will have a field day with him and expose him for the heartless hack that he is. He is a corporate lackey who will do ANYTHING to lure much coveted job creators. Say, perhaps, a…

I don't know what it would be classified as but my families chickens are about as "free" as possible. In the morning, we open the door to their coop and they run, amble or fly out and wander EVERYWHERE. Some follow you about. Others mill about the driveway or the barn. Some are adventurous and prefer the woods.…

"...patiently extract the treasure-filled gold foil pouches like they're removing the still-beating heart of a cobra..."

My daughter just pointed out that we have that Hot Wheel right here at the desk. It is her favorite car. Very first world problem, but still a heartbreaker.

"If only there were a way to find things like boots on the computer. Then I would only be without proper footwear for a few days instead of waiting for the sun to dry my feet sometime in April."

Dick Cheney is aware of your comment and is headed your way. This is the only topic that has any effect on his self esteem.

I will watch Spiderman 2 repeatedly for Alfred Molina's performance as Doc Ock. The dialogue, the plot...many issues, but the fight scene that begins in the bank is in my top three Marvel movie moments. Excelsior!

This chorus needs a few more members. I can't possibly be only the third person reading this that feels a violent anxiety attack coming when I think of this brilliant, nuanced literature being filtered through the Hollywood sieve. No medium other than the book could do justice to the beautifully paced character…

Thanks to Calvinball, my son has many times expressed his preference for "disorganized sports". The number of WTF looks he has received are beyond counting. He feels that it broadens the horizon for people with sports tunnel vision.
