Piano: Victor Berge. Hellz yeah. Voice: Chanticleer. The concert of theirs I attended was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. It's incredible; when you're there hearing them, everything is so perfect you can't believe it's real. Haahhh! And give me John Williams conducting the New York Philharmonic any day.

Apparently it was because of a lawsuit over payment for the trilogy. Funny how the people you think never cared for money suddenly do. Like when Bill Nye sued Disney for not getting paid enough.

That's probably because the Internet doesn't want to touch Desp. :) Which could be, in turn, because Desp wants to touch everything. :P [ Friday, January 05, 2007 18:02: Message edited by: Robinator is a Beefcake ] -------------------- Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck.

Huh. A photo comic. Very cool idea! My initital reaction is to say everyone should make comics with pictures of themselves, but it'd probably end up making us look like some kind of creepy, subtitled webcammers.

Well, while we're on the topic, for Christmas I got a stuffed mole dressed like a construction worker that dances and sings "Macho Man" when you squeeze its hand.

It's a nice thought, Solberg. But why don't you try taking it in a different direction? Maybe tossing in a "101 Recipes Using Tartar Sauce and Bean Curd-Flavored Ice Cream" discussion board or something not already posted would help provoke interest, though.

quote:I seem to recall that Mr. Ford fell down flights of stairs a lot. Anyway. There's this interesting image... ...which illustrates the data taken from a survey that asked the audiences of different media outlets about their beliefs regarding the Iraq war. Three questions were asked: 1) Is it your impression that the US has or has not found clear evidence in Iraq that Saddam Hussein was working closely with the al Qaeda terrorist organization? 2) Since the war with Iraq ended, is it your impression that the US has or has not found Iraqi weapons of mass destruction? 3) Thinking about how all the people in the world feel aobut the US having gone to war with Iraq, do you think the majority of people favor the US having gone to war? The point was, of course, that in reality there are no al-Qaeda links, the US has found no WMDs, and majority world opinion is against the war. The funny thing is that the audiences of more Conservative media outlets (e.g. Fox) had far more misconceptions about the war than did the audiences of more Liberal media outlets (e.g. NPR), with the number of misconceptions decreasing as the outlet in focus got more Liberal in bias. Kinda makes you think, doesn't it? However, for the record, the Bush administration technically had nothing to do with Saddam's sentence: it was made by an Iraqi judge in an Iraqi court. In fact, Bush was apparently sound asleep here in the US when Saddam was executed. So as much as we'd all like to blame him, we can't. I'll just say, in almost the words of his father, George H. W. Bush, "Read my lips: no new executions." Viva Jimmy Brown, a man who truly felt good. He knew that he would.

Once upon a time, I uploaded a utility scenario called 'Cheater's Paradise' to the Internet. Little did I realize the zip file was completely corrupt, and the scenario file itself was little more than an unfinished, loose-endful pile of binary poo. So today, a year after having received the last complaint via e-mail about the thing, I finally tracked down a working copy, ironed out some bugs, and zipped it up again. It's now avaliable for download at this obscenely long link. To spell that link out, it's: http:/ /amber.sharebigfile.com/getfile.php?id=F00976FA&access_key=YzQyODBlZjcxNzZhY2UzYjg5MTVjZTc4ZDg5NWNiZmZiMTIwMzcyMjEzMzA4OGY3NWM2NzM4YTYzOTQ1OGNkMDMw&captcha=343033 If anyone's interested, feel free to download it, or add it to the scenario databases. Some people have already been informed. Thank you!

'Cheater's Paradise' isn't listed either. Of course, that version is a corrupt piece of garbage, but that's beside the point.

So the Big Guy of Iraq was executed on the morning of the 29th, right before the Year of the Pig. I'm not sure it was what he deserved, and hope only that it was the right thing to do. But what do you guys think? This is a straightforward "yes"/"no"/"don't know" poll, so-—even though you will anyway—-feel free to justify your answer. EDIT: Agh! And Gerald Ford died!

quote:They made a movie of that?! Ahh! What a great book!! Hopefully the newest Harry Potter won't be as bad as the others, although given the streak, it probably will be. I'm much more interested in the actual book. My theory is that Snape had that Unbreakable Bond thingy with Dumbledore (or whatever that was called) in such a way that if Dumbledore was ever in a position where he would jeopardize anyone else at Hogwarts, Snape would be duty-bound to kill him first. Snape's really a good guy; he had such a look of hatred when he killed Dumbledore because he didn't want to, and Dumbledore pleaded with him (not specifying what it was he wanted) because he knew Snape didn't want to. Remember that Snape was still helping out Harry up to the point he left the book, reminding him to close his mind. Yeah. So. Anyway, that's how my cookie crumbles.

But they're such a great read. I remember being captivated by the Chronicles as a kid, and this was growing up in a family that's not particularly religious at all. Maybe it was just being young and ignorant, but the religious imagery, as prevalent as it is, didn't overshadow the literary experience too much at all, hearing C.S.Lewis' work read through a young kid's ears. 'The Last Battle' was always so amazing because of it's action-packedness, and the ending with the donkey and the dwarfs and everything. (once everyone starts going to Heaven it starts feeling like the end of 'Huck Finn') I dunno. Speaking as someone who tends to get really ticked off by Christians in general every time I listen to the news or the media at all, I still love the books.
