To each their own. I could switch sides for Duke.

Wikipedia describes Fantine thus: "Originally a pretty and naive girl, she eventually sinks to becoming a sick, unstable prostitute, with her looks gone and several missing teeth."

So a movie about time travel was "sloppy" for including time travel?

4th ed, but what I said was not true in that, either. Reality bends before humor.

We do all agree that the original Hong Kong Phooey was terrible, right? I mean I loved it, but I loved a lot of terrible stuff back then.

These looked like standard children's fare to me as well. Especially if you take note that they were basically proof-of-concept rather than professionally written movies shorts.

This. Everyone knows that recalling a thrown weapon is an encounter power. I don't care if he is level 30, he was clearly using it as an at-will.

Ad hominem is not that obscure and a lot of people know it. Ari used it correctly.

I don't know that he broke any rules or that he failed to have an internal logic to the snow's emotional attachment to people. What he did do was not explain it with the kind of Star-Treky fake jargon that is customary in such a situation. Does it add anything to the story for us to hear something like "They are a…

I am thinking Hayworth. Even if a lot of people whacked it thinking about Helen of Troy, there aren't any actual images and she may be entirely fictional. I am open to the idea that the internet has spread images far and wide enough that some modern star or model has surpassed an older "winner," but barring some kind…

Single malt scotch.

Mormon Jesus had turkey because, you know, New World animal.

I think that Firefly qualified as a lot more multiracial than anything else he has done, and more than most shows. In particular, both Book and Zoe weren't the "minority character" on the show. They were just there and were not white, which was awesome. I feel the same way about Astrid on Fringe. I can't describe…

I know, I know. I would have probably acquiesced like he did, too. It does not make him a bad person. But for someone standing at the pinnacle of Peter's rock, maybe we would expect that he should have been so good even then that he would take whatever consequences that refusal brought. History shows that the Pope…

I've lost 110lbs this year, and skipping breakfast is a big part of it. I find that I do a LOT better if I wait until late in the day to start the eating/hunger cycle. It is basically the intermittent fasting technique, but I just sort of wandered into it on my own. If you absolutely have to eat (as, for instance, you…

I am wrong in thinking that having just a BA in anthropology is like having an English degree? (which I do, and which is why I am back in Nursing school, heh) I mean, the discipline seems like it would not train you to do anything specific besides being an anthropologist. I know someone with a BS in biology, and he…

How about movies? Is it all Wes Anderson and Pixar now?

I am taken, so I don't really flirt or anything, but I can certify that this is real. I lost 140lbs, work out and enjoy dressing nicely now that I can. The way that women treat me is crazily different. I get smiles, smiles, smiles all of the time. I get eye contact constantly. I have a regular customer who literally…

Range is just the stupidest concept. In fact, if you suspect that someone you are chatting up is thinking about your place in their range, forget it. Well, unless you just want a short fling I guess.

This. I am still running with an EVGA GTX260 FTW graphics card and the damned thing won't quit. Just a tiny overclock made Skyrim run smoothly on ultra. Mind you, I am still at 1680x1050 but replacing my nice monitor is also another one of those "enthusiast" things that I see no point in doing.
