He doesnt really need the bridge any more, but he does need the support of House Frey and its leige lords - otherwise his host is too small to mount a serious attack against King's Landing and other Lannister holds.

and perhaps a homophobe as well?

Because hanging out with a prepubescent boy in tights all the time is totally straight...

Except its not... I can turn off the TV, etc. (and we are talking about 1 song vs. an entire album on endless repeat), but I had to LIVE with my roommate and leaving wasnt always an option.

I suppose my experience was pretty unique (having gone to fine arts school). Hadnt seen any crazy old Hemingways, but plenty of beards.

That's a pretty generous interpretation. Most games involve some sort of trial and error when it comes to tactics - and it is certainly not remotely unique to BATTLESHIP or board games in general.

Oh I dont doubt it. I was more concerned about Nova ScienceNOW for my own selfish reasons. I just really like the show, especially when they did the episode on animal memory/cognitive ability with a vary talented dog (a border collie?) that had a toy vocab in the 100s and that could identify new toys by process of…

So he is saying that this film somehow has a relation to the board game aside from the title? I just dont see it, and even if I did how would that be a good thing? BATTLESHIP (the game) shouldnt be a movie (or even an archetype or thematic subject of one), but that doesnt mean its a bad game (though I dont remember…

I dont think its just EH though. Beards have long been de riguer in academia (outside of Lit/English depts as well) - and they are awesome. There are plenty of (EH) pretenders though.

Thats quite a bit different - and probably harder to avoid (than a commericial etc.). I had a roommate play Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie non-stop - I am just now able to appreciate that record again - and that was 8 years ago or so.

Good to know that there are some rational observers around... If I had said he was a Nazi or Hitler or set up an outlandish straw man argument I would understand, but I think that he thinks that trolling means disagreeing with him - when really accusing me of trolling is more akin to trolling than what I was doing…

Youre right. I HATE it when people play music I like. Makes total sense.

Given my distaste for both the likely answer is "yes." Either that or I completely misunderstood you.

If you like the music - its kind of silly to get pissed to hear it all the time - especially since that means that that many more people are experiencing something that you say you enjoy.

Psychology is amazing - though its practicioners seem to be quite lacking. The main problem with psychology is just that it's in its infancy (as is neuroscience which should eventually have a huge bearing on psychology) and the fact that case studies are often lacking - many times due to ethical constraints.

No - yours was the first comment (well at the top of the page) - and I felt the need to interject. I havent really worried about bands I like "selling out" (unless they completely overhaul their sound) since I was in high school. You shouldnt worry about it either. You should just be happy that an artist you like is…

? From the article you probably didnt read:

What ever happened to NOVA Science Now? The last run that Tyson did on it was AMAZING, and covered all sorts of subjects (not just astronomy, astrophysics etc.). I miss that show.

mnemonic? Otherwise songs would be like fluid filling your lungs - and while I am sure some are akin to drowning in sepsis - I dont think thats what you mean.

Thats pretty hipster of you. You should appreciate the fact that the people that are making the music you love are getting a nice paycheck.
