It's a very good explanation of the loneliness of command in a form that's extremely easy to stomach.

I completely agree.. Good stories appeal to wide demographics, partly because you have a lot of characters that can be identified with. Bad stories write to a specific audience because it's easier than writing characters with layers.. It's like the difference between bad genre writing, and fantastic character driven…

I found myself irritated with the family for that reason too - I really just couldn't get past the idea that they're just like "Whatever, who cares what the law is or what the repercussions might be, "we WANT ANOTHER KID SO WE ARE HAVING ONE." Just because the thing you're being a spoiled brat about is children,…

I think it's holding pretty steady at 1% of the total US population at any one time is incarcerated.

It's also worth checking out the X-files spinoff, The Lone Gunmen.. some interesting episodes in there, and it's generally funnier than the X-files.

That's really a fantastic idea. I think I'm going to design a range of greeting cards that pay really really important compliments.. I mean, seriously, nobody really keeps happy birthday cards, do they? I bet they'd keep "Your dick is fantastic" or "You have sublime breasts", though.

Instead, search for the howard stern video (the uncensored one) where he offers a vacation with strippers to the smallest penis'ed person who will appear.. Those guys will definitely make you feel better about yourself.

A lot of artists historically reused canvases, replacing perhaps inferior work with others. Not to mention that as an artist, it's always hard to let go of something.. I have tons of work that I can't part with despite the fact that I have no active use for it.

I would highly recommend that you do so..

Being a brit living in America, I get where you're coming from. I'd have to say biscuit, though, partly because it reminds me quite much of a biscuit in woodworking, and would probably taste about the same. It also looks quite like a digestive biscuit in formation, which don't seem to really exist in America under…

I don't remember what episode it may have been used in before, but I can tell you it's from a fairly gruesome English nursery rhyme/game.

"(Was anybody else a bit miffed, though, that the Doctor's big revelation comes along with suddenly calling Amy "Amy Williams", as if he's finally transferring ownership of her from himself to Rory? Or saying that she should become her own person, by becoming an extension of Rory? It was an odd choice.)"

And thus, the problem with using the FOOTBALL FIELD as a system of measurement.

I've been single, and actively celibate by choice for a couple of years now. There's nothing wrong with me, I'm well adjusted, highly social (work in a job where I literally interact with people constantly) and go to school full time. I have many friends, and while I wouldn't mind dating again, I won't date for the…

Wow, that's so win :D

Something like that probably took around 12 hours or so (my baseline for figuring out how long any movie editing/animation type stuff is going to take me is to assume around four hours per minute for stuff like that, four hours per 30 seconds for something more fancy (like with 3d camera moves or other effects…

She does have a completely ridiculous name.

Er no, they don't really explain it beyond "It's all prophesied and mystical and stuff"...

Two things - first off, if you look at credits on Charmed, any time Alyssa Milano was doing something other than acting (like producing) her character inevitably wore incredibly skimpy breast baring tops..

How is it a foregone conclusion that it's a myth perpetrated by liberals who hate America?
