  1. That's not exactly a compliment either way. Unless you mean Jeff Beck, of course.
  2. It's on my list, although I have a few things to work through first. I hope to get to it by the end of the summer, though.
  3. I've considered that before, but the problem really is I can't figure it out. It's just such a huge franchise with all the ins and outs that come with that sort of thing (conflicting timelines, remakes, movie adaptations, and whatnot), I've never known where to start.
  4. While you guys are at it, I'm interersted in getting some recomendations for things I normally wouldn't just pick up on my own but are still good. Generally, I'm a major science fiction nut, which for the most part I've got covered, but also some drama as well, but I could always use some good suggestions there too. I'm especially interested if anyone has any good Mecha suggestions: the whole genera is basically a mystery to me which I can't make heads or tails of. You can also get a pretty good idea of the way my tastes run from my MAL.
  5. Hey, I couldn't remember the Characters for American.
  6. Bout seven hours early, there, friend.

  7. Son, what you up to? Why you poachin' on my turf?

  8. I plan to follow this, although I never did much like Dark Side playthroughs--sure, being a self righteous prick can get annoying sometimes, but being a total dick never gave me any pleasure. This is good, though--it's like getting to play KotOR vicariously with none of the work! I think I might do one of these actually: I'd been turning over a few I ideas in my head for a while now. I'm planning to start Baulders Gate soon, which might be fun, but I was also thinking about Planescape or maybe even something for the SNES. EDIT: Or I just had a great idea for Morrowind...
  9. back to the ol' faithful.

  10. Dear Darling Son and That Person You Married, I hope you are well. Please don't worry about me. I'm just fine considering I can't breathe or eat. The important thing is that you have a nice holiday, thousands of miles away from your ailing mother. I've sent along my last ten pounds in this card, which I hope you'll spend on my grandchildren. God knows their mother never buys them anything nice. They look so thin in their pictures, poor babies. Thank you so much for the birthday flowers, dear boy. I put them in the freezer so they'll stay fresh for my grave. Which reminds me -- we buried Grandma last week. I know she died years ago, but I got to yearning for a good funeral, so Aunt Minnie and I dug her up and had the services all over again. I would have invited you, but I know that woman you live with would have never let you come. I bet she's never even watched that videotape of my haemorrhoid surgery, has she? Well son, it's time for me to crawl off to bed now. I lost my cane beating off muggers last week, but don't you worry about me. I'm also getting used to the cold since they turned my heat off and am grateful because the frost on my bed numbs the constant pain. Now don't you even think about sending any more money, because I know you need it for those expensive family holidays you take every year. Give my love to my darling grand-babies and my regards to whatever-her-name-is -- the one with the black roots who stole you screaming from my bosom. Love, Mum I declare this thread now for The-Telling-of-The-Jokes-of-the-People-of-the-Book. La-heim!
  11. You don't watch the O'Reilly factor: the O'Reilly factor watches YOU!!
  12. babe, you're on my mind.

  13. Damn, I guess that doesn't work on the internet--its been my goal to spread as much deliberate misinformation based solely on misheard hear-say as possible in my firm belief that no one in the United States actually knows anything about soccer so why not. I forgot there are real Eurocommies here though.
  14. Casillas will lead Spain to the cup. It is written.
  15. Twiddling mah thumbs.

  16. Don't call me Nigger, Whitey. / Don't call me Whitey, Nigger.
  17. You are an object in the minds of others--to others there is no you but simply an object comprised of your observed actions.
  18. I am the first hit for both "Le Communard" and "LeCommunard": there's a yahoo answers guy "lecommunard" and a blog "Le Communard", but other than that the only hits are history texts and French Restaurants.
  19. There's no right--either written or implied--in the Constitution to burial as a soldier. Disrespectful speech is clearly protected by the first amendment: American law isn't in the business of "right and wrong".
  20. If they can prove that the Speach intended Intentional Harm--i.e. that it was the content and manner of the specific speach itself, and not the ideas it represented--I think they might have a case. The Constitution protects dissenting opnions, no matter what the fourm, and the law only has a place in things when two rights come into conflict: in this case, the rights of the protesters to speak vs. the rights of the family to be protected from assult, both physical and mental. I think if the family can prove the protestes caused significant distress, then it really comes down to how the court plays out. This one will be iteresting to watch becuse IMHO, Kennedy could go either way, so argumets are actully significant. I suspect after Citizens United, though, that the court will rule in favor of Westboro, the argument for Synder being a little too "liberal touchy-feely". Anything involving a so-called "collective right" or "implied right" is not very popular right now in rightest jurisprudence--although it may also come down to the specifics and degrees of the case, I've been surprised before. I disagree. It's not the place of Government to stop Hate Speech, although I believe it is our duty as private citizens to combat it wherever it appears. The law shouldn't be in the business of second guessing intentions--as I said, speech should only be limited where it impinges upon the rights of others.
  21. The Law kills your soul. It is known.
