Ooh, crafty.

Okay, I dub you "Non-PM-Checking Featherduster!!!!!!" or maybe "Scared Of Beaver!!!!!!"No wonder you named him "Muffin".

[Jared_Humpherys]

Ooh! Do me!

Oh yeah.

I still remember the writer's strike from like 18 years ago. When, for a brief shining moment, there were a couple of good episodes of ST:TNG. Berman wrote one himself, I remember.Wasn't that when Letterman was doing Network Timekillers?

[Spike-X]

Slow load time on the ad.

It's pretty. If I were Deep Blue I'd definitely try to get that HP drunk and try to hit its UBS port.


It is a very nice looking computer.

Too bad they're gonna ruin it by putting Windows on it.

[Mac Danny]

I need an indian name.

How about Running Meerkat Dawn

[Jared_Humpherys]

A former employee of my firm, who remains a good friend, came up with Indian names for all of the partners and some of the associates.

"Smiling Doom" for the partner who only smiles when he walks into your office with a big pile of shit for you to deal with.

"Blowfish" for our excessively proud senior litigator.

"Hootie" for the associate with his lips surgically attached to the Blowfish's ass.

"Old Powder" for the senior (read: elderly) partner who still comes into the office, even though he's not sure why.

"Dreamcatcher" for the partner who seems to work as hard as he can to grind associates into dust.

etc.

It's great for conversations in public places when we don't know who's listening.

I finished Akira last night.

Fantastic series . . although typical of manga and Japanese storytelling, the conclusion is full of "what the fuck happened?"

Japanese don't conclude stories they way we do, there's a bunch of "brand new" loose ends.

Regardless, I highly recommend it. The sequential storytelling was without exaggeration, the BEST I've ever read. The action scenes were incredibly well done and built suspense in a way that I couldn't put it down.

Japanese culture lends itself more naturally to fluidity of events than Western culture does.

Personally, I liked LA better than either Chicago or NYC. Yeah, traffic is a nightmare, but LA weather makes up for a lot. 72 and sunny beats the hell out of minus 30 degree windchills waiting for the train or getting on the subway in July.

What's your gamertag? Mine's "sag616" without the quotes.

And as for the annoying voices, it'll get worse once you meet Marumaro, I'm afraid.

Still a good old-school JRPG, though. I'm 20 hours in and still on the first disk.

Still don't know to much about al of it, I haven't read the leaflets I got in the box.

Thanks. "Dark Evangel" for me. Also without the parenthesis.

Oh well, can't win everything. Was plenty surprised when I opened the box to find more than one disk...

Ouch. Do you train Brazilian or standard?

[Squirrel]

Ouch. Do you train Brazilian or standard?

Darling, you can't just go out and 'train' in Brazilian jujitsu...you have to have a coach, and it ain't cheap.

[Gladiaria_Alata]

Ouch. Do you train Brazilian or standard?

If you mean Japanese by standard, then yeah.

We had to 'protect' one guy (while in a circle) from another guy (who was outside the circle), everybody was taller than me by a fair margin so I got pulled around mostly, but then I accidentally let go of one of guys hands I was holding and 'cause of the momentum got tossed away.

Ended up hitting my head, so I was a little stunned. But nothing too bad I have a pretty hard head, and the floor had thick mats.

I know they include it in the midwest, but that is because they are dumb. We need to be our own region; Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan are much more similar to each other than any of the other Midwestern states.

I'm just saying it's weird for them all to be included in one group. The geography, culture, history are all very very different. It'd be like lumping the South together with the midwest. It's totally different.

I agree.

I think there's a big difference between Indiana and Wisconsin, let alone a place like Oklahoma and Nebraska. I see Indiana as a Great Lakes state, and the Midwest doesn't start until you get to Iowa, Kansas, the Dakotas or Oklahoma.

Texas is just Texas. It's a region unto itself.

Midwest.According to that map, it's East-North-Central Midwest, which is ridiculous.

In the United States, "Great Lakes" is often used to identify areas which share similarities with the Northeast and Midwest, but don't fully fit in with either.It's weird to me that Kentucky is considered part of the South.

[Gladiaria_Alata]

However, if you check the training for newsmen, etc,. they ask them to speak in a Midwestern accent, because the accent spoken throughout the region is the same, flat.

[Tadhg]

I agree.

In my estimation. Indiana shouldn't be a state. The northwest should be given to Illinois, the Northeast to Ohio and the southern half to Kentucky. And Notre Dame should be it's own country ala Vatican City.

[Tadhg]

However, if you check the training for newsmen, etc,. they ask them to speak in a Midwestern accent, because the accent spoken throughout the region is the same, flat.

No it's not. We do not for example say warsh.

Like I said, Great Lakes states. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Arkansas belongs in the South, with Missouri a maybe depending where you're standing there.

The Midwest is Iowa, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, with Missouri a maybe.

[Ray R.]

However, if you check the training for newsmen, etc,. they ask them to speak in a Midwestern accent, because the accent spoken throughout the region is the same, flat.

They say the best accent is from Connecticut, where I'm from. We don't have New York or Boston speech defects. It's hypothesized that they cancel each other out.

You can't tell what part of the country I'm from when I talk.

[Matt Algren]

No it's not. We do not for example say warsh.
Who's we? Are you a newsman who doesn't say warsh? Cause I know many people who say warsh.

[Ray R.]

In my estimation. Indiana shouldn't be a state. The northwest should be given to Illinois, the Northeast to Ohio and the southern half to Kentucky. And Notre Dame should be it's own country ala Vatican City.

The biggest religious cult gathering I ever saw was a football game at Notre Dame.

Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

My parents live so close you can hear the people cheer from the stadium, that is if they cheered anymore.

[Puma]

Who's we? Are you a newsman who doesn't say warsh? Cause I know many people who say warsh.

My Father, born and raised in Arizona, who has lived in Washington State since 1961, still says "Warshington". Only the gods know why.

I wish Notre Dame was in its own country, like any one besides the US.

I bet they cheered when they beat UCLA.

[Tages]

In my estimation. Indiana shouldn't be a state. The northwest should be given to Illinois, the Northeast to Ohio and the southern half to Kentucky. And Notre Dame should be it's own country ala Vatican City.

Indiana is a constitutional monarchy run by the Earnhardt family. Their entire economy is NASCAR, cigarettes and fireworks.

[Tadhg]

I bet they cheered when they beat UCLA.

That was in LA though. The campus was like a ghost town when I drove through during the game.

[Matt Algren]

I would also say that classifying regions by their relative accents could hardly be called reasonable.

[Tadhg]

Indiana is a constitutional monarchy run by the Earnhardt family. Their entire economy is NASCAR, cigarettes and fireworks.

NASCAR isn't that huge in Indiana. And IndyCar is only big in Indianapolis. The rest of the state just steals its culture and identity from whatever state its closest to.

No, but it's usually to people over 75. They're more comfortable with it. One thing I can't stand is when people call an elderly couple 'you guys'.

Every now and again a 'how-do' sneaks out, though. And today I accidentally said 'hunkered down' to someone.
