Don't forget the obligatory coinflip: musical or non-musical.

Let's see... I recently re-read Gaviotas: A Village to Reinvent the World, by Alan Weisman. Very interesting stuff. Downright inspiring, in fact.

Okay, I felt the need to revive this because I recently witnessed one of the worst movies to ever be given respect in mainstream media. Some of you might be familiar with this horrid film... it goes by the name of High School Musical. Disney's made-for-tv-dredges shouldn't be allowed to make it to Broadway... or even to home video, for that matter.

Mediocre acting, middle-of-the-road-singing, subpar plot (even for Disney TV movies), an awkwardly-close-to-incest relationship, and thoroughly dislikeable people everywhere.

I condemn this movie to the bargain bin of history!

Ice cream... in General

Just realized that I'd never done this one... :D

Favorite Ice Cream flavor? Hm... I'm torn between two of my current favorites: Triple Chocolate and White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle.
Length of Major Sleep? Um... I think I've maxed out at about 14 hours.
Favorite Arcade Game? Hm... not sure of the name, but it was one of those Jurassic Park games with the light guns and cooperative mode. Very, very satisfying.
Favorite movie made from a cartoon? Pass.
Favorite place to nap? My bed.
Favorite print cartoon? Quite possibly Frazz.
Do you eat ice-cream during a cold weather? Yes, I've done this. I enjoy it.
Favorite hour of the DAY to sleep? It's incredibly satisfying to go back to sleep when you accidentally wake up at 7 am.
Favorite Age? Meaning what was the year of your life that you enjoyed the most. Um... I rather like right now.

Bond is not blonde... I can't believe they've let the actor do that. It's wrong.

I might see it anyway, since I'm a fan of Bond movies. At least, the old ones... haven't seen the last two.

Where do you have the call being used? According to the appendices, the call should be used in the town script.

Actually, it just sounds like you've misplaced either the .bmp file or the .cmg file.

Meh, I'd keep my answers. I mean, for 1-4, I'd only help defend, meaning that once the theater of war moved to the offensive, I'd politely request to be transferred.

Or, failing that, I'd shoot myself in the foot. :P

Well, there's a difference between a swift change pushing the system towards chaos, and a swift change pulling it out. And all the climate models I've seen have been close enough to chaos that I'd rather not have to rely on any sort of abrupt changes. Besides, "swift" on a geologic time scale isn't very heartening.

To battle, indeed.

(I'm not going to dignify the double fives)

1. They attacked, I'd defend.
2. If they attacked, I'd defend.
3. If they attacked, I'd defend.
4. If they attacked, I'd defend.
5. Either way, I'd probably end up fighting for the lower class.
6. If they attacked, I'd defend. Otherwise, there's a decent chance I'd fight.
7. I'd fight to the bitter end.

8. I'd fight until the day I saw your palaces ground to dust by the passing aeons. I'd fight until every single one of your mind-controlled, high-minded bodyguards was dead of at least six different unnatural causes. I'd fight until I could personally spit on the grave of such an oppressive emperor. I'd fight with everything I had, and I would win.

So there. :P

Wow... disappear for a day, and I miss all the fun.

Lego, your arguments are getting increasingly desperate, and I'm looking forward to seeing you storm angrily from the topic claiming "mission accomplished".

Until then, all I can do without screaming is second the arguments used against you.

You're putting words in my mouth, and you're wasting your own breath. Why are you leaping to color? I just think that people do stupid things sometimes, and those stupid things form irrational prejudices.

Erasing history won't prevent someone from doing something stupid to anger somebody and making that a bone of contention until one of them dies! That sort of thing happens everyday, so a single sweep of the past won't be effective. I tried to convey this to you before, but you seem to be intent on spreading your thought control dogma, instead of participating in a reasonable debate.
