RITA's LXVII: Why should false painting imitate his cheek

[Paradox]

A centimeter is approximately the width of your pinkie finger.

Or the length of Cunard's willie.

[mgs]

daum! is Ed even here to defend himself? ;)

[Paradox]

He never has when he HAS been here. :tongue:

And he was here just the other night...I think we Beetlejuiced him out.

[mgs]

poor, poor cunard.. ;)

[mattx110]

One could look at "The Joker" (as well as his use of the Joker from a deck of playing cards) that he is the Fool/Court Jester of a King's (Batman/Dent/Gordon) court.

The sometimes role of the Jester was too keep the King occupied during tedious times at Court when there was no activity going on.

Also.. and this comes from Wikipedia
In King Lear there are about 2.5 honest characters.

One of them is the fool.

[mattx110]

He wasn't any creepier than any other villain psychopath. Where's the bad day? Where's his "jokes"? Yeesh. I think I'll prefer Joker's products.
I'm funnier.

[mattx110]

I'm officially in vacation mode. And I don't leave until Sunday.

In other words, I don't wanna do nada until I get back from Florida on Thursday.
Given ho much excitement there is on an average Floridian day, you don't know how right you are...

holey crap!!! loud random thunder claps still scare the hell outta me! O.O

I miss thunder storms. I grew up near Toronto and used to love sitting on the porch watching the clouds roll in before the bright flashes and booming thunder. Here on the west coast thunder storms are extremely rare.

[Ben Morgan]

Damn, I miss thunder storms too.

OK, here's the prob.

I want to open up a zip file, but it's doing so with notepad for some weird reason.

When I checked properties for the file it's somehow defaulted to Notepad. What's the proper application?

Winzip, Winrar, or I think Explorer can handle zip files now.

[i_mmmchocolate]

I know it's built-in, but for some weird reason it's not showing up as a 'recommended application' for this file. Win-Zip, I mean.

Lemme browse.

Ok, everything is back to normal. The problem isn't with me now, it's with the file itself.

"Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive."

Ah well.

I'm thinking about sneaking into Costco for free samples.

[i_mmmchocolate]

why?
Because I'm flying out of JFK to Florida at 8ish am.

Heh. So, I'm taking this "would you fit better in the Marvel or DC Universe" quiz on some other site, and this is one of the questions:

"Do you know which state your home city is in?"

I'm-a go see Hellboy.

[Radioactive Zombie]

I just watched the newest Mummy.

If you want Chinese soldiers having their asses whooped by Lion/Ape Yeti, fireworks, flying dragons, and the effects of a Sten on ceramic soldiers, watch it.

Oh, and bad, but thankfully minimal, dialogue.

I'm given to understand that one of the Yeti kicks someone between two columns, then makes the referee signal for "touchdown."

[K'Nort]

It's too damn muggy here. It woke up muggy. Never got below mid-70s overnight and is back into the 90s for I think the third day. With thunderstorms every evening causing the humidity. I didn't lose windows or fences or such like other people downtown though. 75mph winds the other night.

Bleh.

I knew when I moved here that the weather would be the hard part. So I guess I shouldn't whine. But I've never ever liked summer even in a rainforest so it's just bleh. Mainly the way it zaps all energy. I have plenty of energy when it's cold out.

I'm actually on Gus's computer. His apartment doesn't get direct sunlight like mine and stays quite a bit cooler.

I need to invest in some shorts too. I'm borrowing his boxers in the meantime.

[Gilda Dent]

Afternoon everyone.

[Radioactive Zombie]

I'm given to understand that one of the Yeti kicks someone between two columns, then makes the referee signal for "touchdown."

Yeah. He kicks a Chinese mook threatening Fraiser's character, then promptly punts him in the ass over aforementioned two columns. Yeah, he does the signal.

[Radioactive Zombie]

Afternoon everyone.

Hey there.

I don't mind shopping when there are toys to find, but this standing around looking at makeup is making me suicidal.

[mgs]

63˚ here at the moment.

it's only tolerable here b/c of the recent light storm shower Athena and i were chatting about. other than that, like yesterday, I would jump in a cold shower and any body part not having cold running water on it was instantly hot (I had the shower window open). uggg..I love heat but only with sun. hot, humid & cloudy suck,

[K'Nort]

I don't mind shopping when there are toys to find, but this standing around looking at makeup is making me suicidal.

So leave. They'll enjoy it more without you too. Find something nearby. That's one of the beauties of cellphones.

what are you arguing against?

[Ronald Bryan]

Currently 95, and I burned my wrist with hot marinara sauce.

[Gilda Dent]

It's about 90 degrees here.

[K'Nort]

what are you arguing against?

Whether a single issue of a comic qualifies as much as a book as a novel does.

[K'Nort]

Currently 95, and I burned my wrist with hot marinara sauce.

What are you making/eating? I guess there are many stages at which you can be burned.

[Chris Nowlin]

63˚ here at the moment.

91 degrees here according to Google, but I can't tell.

Seems pleasant enough to me.

Ocean breeze often compensates for the heat sufficiently.

[mgs]

Whether a single issue of a comic qualifies as much as a book as a novel does.

qualifies as what?

[K'Nort]

qualifies as what?

Qualifies as a book.

[Ronald Bryan]

What are you making/eating? I guess there are many stages at which you can be burned.
Just some dipping sauce for cheese sticks. I spilled it carrying it, and it splashed my wrist. Hurts, and is giving off heat, which I don't need more of.

[Ronald Bryan]

Whether a single issue of a comic qualifies as much as a book as a novel does.
What about a trade?

[mgs]

Qualifies as a book.

so, to you, a comic book, is not a book? or not, as much of a book as a novel would be considered one, by you? am I getting the argument correct?

[K'Nort]

What about a trade?

There's no disagreement on trades, no.

If one person is bragging about consistently reading more books per week than the other, and the first person is only counting single issue comics and the other is only counting novels, I believe the first person is being a dork.

How's that?

I really love those oranges. In the background to the painting.

Anyway.

Whether a single issue of a comic qualifies as much as a book as a novel does.Of course it doesn't.

so, to you, a comic book, is not a book? or not, as much of a book as a novel would be considered one, by you? am I getting the argument correct?It's more like a periodical or a magazine. Would you describe Newsweek as a book?

Short version, although I really wasn't looking for any, given I have a girl I just started seeing at home that things have recently gotten very interesting with, Chris kind of cockblocked me with this girl at SDCC. I didn't even really realize it until later and I feel no ill will towards him for it, but it's just the kind of thing that's hilarious to bust another guy's chops for.

As well as meeting the colorist girlfriend of a colorist.

[Radioactive Zombie]

I don't. Even then, I think people referring to their comics/manga as graphic novels/gekiga is about the same as calling a prostitute as a sex worker.

ah..so did he get her? or did he have to finish off his man-sized thing....alone? ;)

No, he left too. This wasn't a matter of him horning in, this was a matter of no one getting anything.

That's pretty much what it was. Well, less "Holy shit!" and more me pointing out people to our little group. Apparently I know who more comic people are. Although it was kind of funny trying to explain to Mattbib who Amanda Connor is with her three feet away. He only reads Marvel stuff, she hasn't done much for them over the years. The funny part being she now recognizes me because my friend is a huge superfan of hers and Jimmy's, so when he brings tons of crap for them to sign at a con, I'm usually there as well.

She was standing right there. I just went "Hey, Amanda, my friend here only reads Marvel. I know you haven't done much for them in ages... is there any way you can explain who you are to him?"

And she did. Or tried to, anyway. He hasn't even read The Pro. THat's just sad.

[StoneGold]

useless cock worthless block? :( who DID she go off with then?

Oh, and as far as I know, she just went to sleep. It was creeping up on 4AM at that point. And not that she wasn't flirting with pretty much everyone, but she was A: drunk, B: wearing a spare shirt of mine because she was cold, and C: asking me to get her a corndog.

Now like I said, I've got a new girlfriend at home that I am really into. More than that would have been worth by far. But at the same time, I had a drunk girl wearing my shirt, asking me for a corn dog.

Quite a story, huh? Especially the bit about cutting the head off.

I just read both yesterday and today's papers and there were stories in both. Don't have the stomach to find more details online. But they did say something in the second story about even holding the head up with one hand and continuing to slash at the body with the other. On the other hand, that's after they said all the other passengers fled, so I'm not sure who actually witnessed that part. Maybe hysterical dramatic effect.

[Deathstroke]

No it isn't. My computer crashed on Thursday and on Friday my brother switched over my dad's old computer so I could have some access to the Net over the weekend.




eww, this sounds creeptacular.

Sorry to disappoint you Lena, nothing untoward in the post.

Quite honestly, when or if the time comes when I get the green light from this woman...I'm not going to be talking about it online.

I don't play like that. It's my business and hers not the Net's.

As shocking as it may seem, for some reason I really like this woman and while we are both going to be taking things slow as she regains trust after a divorce and I learn to be more open, I don't plan on sharing all the details as we go along.

Must it take a life for hatful eyes
To glisten once again
Five hundred years like Gelignite
Have blown us all to hell
What savior rests while on his cross we die
Forgotten freedom burns
Has the Shepard led his lambs astray
to the bigot and the gun

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies

I watch and stare as Rosin`s eyes
Turn a darker shade of red
And the bullet with this sniper lie
In their bloody gutless cell
Must we starve on crumbs from long ago
Through these bars of men made steel
Is it a great or little thing we fought
Knelt the conscience blessed to kill

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies

Ah, but maybe it`s the way you were taught
Or maybe it`s the way we fought
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
For each kiss is a cry we all lost
Though there is nothing left to gain
But for the banshee that stole the grave
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies

I sit in and dwell on faces past
Like memories seem to fade
No colour left but black and white
And soon will all turn grey
But may these shadows rise to walk again
With lessons truly learnt
When the blossom flowers in each our hearts
Shall beat a new found flame

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies

heya Chris, how's tricks? Haven't run into you in a while it seems.

[morna]

I'm goin' out to Fogg N' Suds soon. So there'll be one less on one side of the equation.

I'm stayin' in for a sud or two so there's one more on the side of whatever... or one the same

I'm bored, broke, converting video into DVD, and my girlfriend is at work. Blech.

Ok we are gonna try these Bacardi mojito bottles.

See, the thing about the new iPhone is that it's fucking expensive especially with the carrier lock. Sure, Apple cut the price on the front end, but they increased monthly service by $10. In the long run that damn phone is going to cost you.

I hate when phone companies do that here in the US. I'd rather pay more for the machine and have a smaller monthly bill, because the one phone I buy will probably last me 5 years.

So, Hellboy II won't be setting the world on fire, but it's still a fun time at the movies. It's visually spectacular, it middles quite well, and while it's not remotely like the Hellboy comics, that's all right because there's room in the world for both.

Consider how much shorter the movie would have been if Nuala had just killed herself the first time things started getting hairy for everyone else

Yeah, I'm not saying it's perfect, but I enjoyed myself.

In other news, I've decided that the quality of a movie is inversely proportional to the number of bars of the theme from "Requiem For A Dream" in the trailer.

Also, they really went and remade Death Race 2000, proving once and for all that there is no God.

Yeah, I seem to be not here.

I don't know why. Doesn't feel like I'm doing anything else.

Presently overthinking what students get what grades. Need to figure out a better way to work participation in to the final grade next time I teach. This time I called it 25% of their grade, but realise I have no idea how to figure that in when grades are determine with darts.

[Donald M.]

Also, they really went and remade Death Race 2000, proving once and for all that there is no God.

While I won't be seeing it in theaters, it might not be as bad as all that.

The trailer makes it look more like Twisted Metal: The Movie than anything with any resemblance to Death Race 2000.

That does make me kind of sad they didn't just make a Twisted Metal movie.

No Sweet Tooth. :frown:

[Michael P]

While I won't be seeing it in theaters, it might not be as bad as all that.

Oh, I'm certain it will.

Nope. I predict:

Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

Yes, let's go ahead and strawman me as some hysterical old woman because I have the temerity to predict that a movie that gives away its entire plot in the trailer will be bad. On the Internet, no less.

Maybe I'm getting old, but where once I would have gladly gotten into an argument about a Death Race remake on the internet, now the idea just makes me feel tired and a little sad.

I was making a joke, not trying to insult or imply there was something wrong with you.

If there were some way to harness the energy of people on the internet jumping to conclusions, America could end it's reliance on foreign oil forever!

At least with Death Race the original killed off Sylvester Stallone. Preemptive karmic justice for Stop or My Mom Will Shoot.

[Bear]

I need to talk to someone.

[Spike-X]

[Josh S]

Garlic Jr is a turd.

Straight. Up.

[Bear]

Anything....

[Spike-X]

Anything....
Well...away you go then!

Garlic has progeny?

Can't talk.

Eating.

(Pizza! With garlic!)

[Bear]

Well...away you go then!

I hate my boss. It's actually to the point that when someone mentions his name--or even a vague reference to him--I become very hostile and sick to my stomach.

[Josh S]

So I bought some pomegranate & lychee green tea at the store today. At the time it seemed like a good idea as I love green tea and lychee. Now I'm thinking the pomegranate is probably going to overpower them.

Also, I bought yogurt, milk and grapefruit.

[Bear]

"Oh, you hate your job? We have a support group for that now. It's called EVERYBODY! We meet at the bar." - Drew Carey :biggrin:

It's not the job; just the employer. He's a bastard. A complete bastard. Evil even. A wolf in sheep's clothing. I cannot stop him. But he must be removed from power.

[Josh S]

Oh, and Simply Limeade. I bought that too.

[Bear]

My boss is one of the very few people at work I don't hate.

I used to feel that way. Then she left us with this douche.

I've hated bosses before, myself.

Last I checked you were teaching? Is that still the case? And is your boss then a school administrator.

'Cuz I've often hated them too

[Bear]

Yes, and at the same place too. It is just this man is totally evil. He's the pastor. Doesn't know shit from shinola about education, but always interferes.

[Ben Morgan]

Garlic Jr is a turd.

Straight. Up.
I barely remember him.

[Paradox]

Bear takes me too literally:

It's not the job; just the employer.

Oh, I know. I just don't have a specific joke for that. :biggrin:


He's a bastard. A complete bastard. Evil even. A wolf in sheep's clothing.

Is he incompetent, too? That seems to go along with it most of the time.

If only there was a solution of some kind!

I wonder...what the solution might possibly be...

[Josh S]

I barely remember him.

I look forward to the day I can say the same about you.

Not really, Ben.

I value your friendship.

Not.

If all goes well I will. Maybe head to the shop downtown, even, so I can go get some shrimp gorditas from Chacho's, too.

[morna]

well this is just it isn't it. I mean people leaving and going and stuff and coming back.

phew

[Spike-X]

Couldn't hurt! But I guess there's only one way to find our for sure...

Oh, I know. I just don't have a specific joke for that. :biggrin:

YES!!! Generally incompetent.

But guerrilla tactics won't suffice. This guy needs Simon Belmont to stake him in his cruel fucking black heart.

She knows I know who she is. I was offering more suggestions, trying to figure out something he might have read. Although once he started to figure out, what with her doing a couple of high profile books like the Green Arrow/Black Canary wedding, he started begging her to pencil She-Hulk.

That would get me to buy She-Hulk again. I enjoy the character but the book doesn't work for me right now.

Weird.
