  • I don't visit much 'cuz, well, just because. But as professional editor, this thread caught my eye. Your point is definitely valid. I saw a headline today that read: Teacher on Trial for Photographing Teen Boys Found Dead. I'm a sucker (or …
  • I am SOOO happy Peter Jackson isn't doing the Hobbit!! He killed the end of the Lord of the Rings. He got way, Way too cocky and thought he was a better story teller than Tolkien. The Hobbit needs someone humble--someone who will stick to the story!…
  • Ways of White Folks by Langston Hughes It was published in the late 20s/early 30s. If you want to know how much things have changed (or where some of the resentment comes from), read this.
  • Heh, heh. I don't think we've ever had a problem that tech support could actually fix, so I wouldn't take it too personally. "Tech support" is for people who think their CD holder is a drink holder. (Think about it.) In fact, we call it "stump te…
  • Yeah, it was good if you like plot holes large enough to drive a small PLANET through. Remember the kiss of forgetfulness at the end of Superman II? I guess it was a bit selective. (Hey, I didn't give anything away, really.) Has everyone seen thi…
  • my own special grilled cheese: Jewish rye, swiss cheese and jalapenos. Yum! Yum!
  • Name: Mom Birthday: 1967 (Making me oldest to actually admit to an age) Zodiac Sign: virgo What Mac(s) do you own? dual G5, among others Who's your favorite notable person of the Mac community? my IT guy Do you give your Mac(s) name…
  • Take the scenario broader--how likely is it that the killer will be caught and punished? Is the state doing it's job? As enraged as I would be, I would be willing to let the State do it's job and administer justice IF it was operating as such. If t…
  • Okay, so only a little better than "normal" at 110. But I also had about 20 minutes to go. I get bored taking these tests. I either see it or I don't and I don't have much patience for working it out. \

  • Simply put, it would satisfy my whimsical soul, so long as you allow a dictionary and I at no point stray into the past form but with unruly action words.

  • Well, there is this ad that comes on the radio several times any given morning for a shipping company. The voice is some youngish kid (or sounds like to my almost-40-year-old ears) who says they "recycle styrofoam peanuts." Only, it doesn't sound li…
  • Trainspotting The scene were they are all coming down and the woman finds her baby dead in the crib still gives me the shivers. And then she turned around and wanted to get high again! Reminds me of an old (redundant) Dragnet episode where they …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Chris Cuilla The other problem I have with the book-to-movie thing is that it "steals your imagination" from you. When I read a book, I mentally craft a picture of the settings, characters and action. The movie version…
  • I think the words "unduly hostile" come to mind, Groverat. My original question had little, if anything, to do with the quality of the movie. In fact, my question could be answered without any direct reference to LWW; it just happens to be the c…
  • Quote: Originally posted by BRussell Also for some weird reason I always forget the u in favourite and colour. Umm, going by the "Rockie Mountains," you are on the wrong side of the Atlantic to put the u in "favorite" and "color." What …
