@PetiteGal: Tanning was considered healthy in certain countries in Eastern Europe in the 80's when I was a kid. It's still a big deal but now for aesthetic reasons and quite a few people can afford to indoor tan because sessions are so cheap.

I agree with your comment and Cody's indignation of the abuse itself but not with her conflating the mockery of crap music and the sense of "entitled to greatness" with the troll abuse that follows the posting of anything, anywhere on the Internet. 13 or 30; music, fanfiction or mock-light-saber-playing; the more…

@suffersfoolsgladly: You and I are on opposite sides of the argument but I really think this comment should be promoted.

Sorry, but shitting out a lazy, derivative, mediocre tune is hardly 'trying'. The only 'trying' part is how people today try to achieve celebrity with perfect makeup and lots of pretty clothes/haircuts but not a modicum of a talent. And that's only trying on my nerves.

Actually, I am Bulgarian and I didn't wanna get started on the abominable way Bulgarians behave towards Roma (and each other - I just got done reading the newest BalkanLeaks publication). That is a subject for a novel in and of itself. I'm just talking about the supreme hypocrisy of the rest of Europe.

@JosephFinn: The country's already being accused of racism and mistreatment even though when a lot of Roma left to Western countries to beg, sell young kids in prostitution or just live their lives according to their culture, they were returned forcibly by Sweden, France, and pretty much any other country.

It's been some years since I last saw TMNT but Shredder was the bad guy. I remember because I had a wicked crush on him.

@worrywort: It still amounts to mocking her physical appearance - something people are born with and do not choose.

Belyaev, the Soviet sci-fi writer based his book "Professor Dowel's Head" on this concept. The doctor in the book started with dogs as well.

@Jack Nance Revolution: Remember these words when you turn.

I'd have guessed Fringe writers were all up on their Red Dwarf too.

I've only had maybe two VDs when I was coincidentally in a relationship and 27 single ones. However, I also have St. Trifon ([en.wikipedia.org] the Christian heir/version of Dionysius who might not have helped two yearning hearts be together but instead blesses the vines of Northern Thrace where I come from.

They are striking.

Not only beautiful, Bengals are also very smart, friendly and energetic. It's like having genius manipulative puppies with claws.

Wait, is that a possibility?

There are a few mothers of monsters in proper Greek mythology but the closest I can think of were Echidna and Gaia (although she was more of a mother of Titans and Giants, not strictly monsters per se). If we're going the Greek mythology route, I'd bet on Echidna.

@Norton: "Get" dogs. I'm sure she just wanted to huggle Toto and spoil him rotten.

@mullse01: Bond villains want to take over the world. Women villains just want the guy.

Yeah, you shouldn't be reading this. Quick, try to think of something else so you don't retain this information.

@wizzardofxxxx: Also the same group of people who prefers killing off animals in often non-humane ways instead of helping them be adopted. Sanctimonious scum.
