My brother's adoption case just got easier. The birth mother's boyfriend threatened to kill a case worker involved if she testified.

Did he think he was helping, or does he really, really not want to be around kids?

[GozertheGozarian]

These two idiots have tossed everything they could find on the wall and have yet to find anything that sticks. It should say something that the father is trying separately to regain custody.

The truly great thing about stupid people is that they're stupid.

[Ronald Bryan]

I didn;t realize there were so many cutscenes in the metal Gear Solid series!

Either that, or they're just long.

(ownloaded them and am converting them so I can put them on my ipod)

Oh yeah, there are.


Serious question: is whisky ruined after spending several months in the back of a car, though buried under other crap so it was never in direct sunlight?

As my roommate says, it's alcohol. It never goes bad, it just might not taste as good.


What about Terminator: Salvation?

Um, a prequel to T3.


Times of the collected cutscenes.

Twin Snakes - 2:44

Sons of Liberty - 3:36

Snake Eater - 4:14

Guns of the Patriots - 9:40

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow for the last one. Just... wow.

I know, I could have sworn it was at least 15 hours. I do know there is one that's close to an hour.



Nooo.....

It was her idea!

As a soon to be married man you need to learn the rules.

1) Everything wrong is your fault and you should be punished for it.

2)Everything right is always her idea.


Plus, you're not my type.

*cough*male*cough*


Oh come one, it's not that bad once you get used to it!

I will say this, Diet Dr. Pepper really does taste more like regular Dr. Pepper!


More like regular Dr. Pepper than what?

That's why I hate those commercials. Of course it tastes more like, if it's more like Dr. Pepper than urine, water, milk, Mountain Dew, whiskey, tequila, pizza, etc.


Morning Bo Bo.


Anyone else off work today? or sorta off work? I have to go in for an hour.

Sorta off work...



and I question how much it saves the library when I am still being paid during those weeks (and not by using banked vacation); they are arguing that the savings from not having to bring on-calls in to cover regular staff who take vacation over the holidays is significant enough to justify shutting down the libraries.

As long as you get paid.


Morna knitting? Not gonna happen. I'm either going with a drawing or making something with paperclay.

She can glass blow it, then.


It's always wrong to cheat on handsome Josh Duhamel.

What about with Jensen Ackles?

[Slam_Bradley]

We wear poppies pinned onto our coats for Remembrance Day, is that just a Canadian thing?


The veterans groups around here used to sell poppies on Veteran's Day. I don't think I saw any doing so today though.

[Ronald Bryan]

I guessed it was a holiday when I checked the mail. Stupid mail.

[Chris N]

I love holidays. On a normal Wednesday I'd have to attend a seminar and meet my advisor. Because today is a holiday, all I have to do is attend that seminar and meet my advisor.

Oh, and finish job applications which are due starting Friday that I'm about a month behind schedule on.

[Ronald Bryan]

I love the US mail. Through rain or snow or... you know, actually, today's Official Pet an Orca Day, so we're not going to deliver the mail.

[howyadoin]

http://roflrazzi.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/celebrity-pictures-susan-sarandon-cant-hold.jpgIt bothers me that Susan Sarandon's formerly-magnificent breasts now hang almost to her waist.

Proof positive that there's no God.

Kojima was pretty much tying everything up. It took longer then expected.

Nope. We do it in Australia too.


Not common in the US.
poppies=opium
war on drugs, can't be giving the wrong idea to the children.
Wow. That's awesome. And by awesome, I mean mind-crunchingly dumb.


Dollhouse is done (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3ibd4c93af8a3194fa7c8dd409d00e6902)
Shocked. And. Horrified.


My life no longer has any meaning.
Well, scientists are growing rabbit cocks in laboratories. Whale cocks can't be too far off.


My brother's adoption case just got easier. The birth mother's boyfriend threatened to kill a case worker involved if she testified.
Yeah. I can see how that would happen.
Watching really dumb people shoot themselves in the foot truly is one of life's great joys.

Somewhere, Cei-U is feeling 'a bit funny' and he doesn't know why.

They look pretty good to me. Maybe I have just grown accustomed to seeing mature boobies.

Where's Homer J when you need him for a boob opinion?

(actually, I see what you're sayin' now ... I may have to stare a little longer just to confirm)

[howyadoin]

Where's Homer J when you need him for a boob opinion?

(actually, I see what you're sayin' now ... I may have to stare a little longer just to confirm)Don't rush into a decision. Sit and give it some serious deliberation.

[Winslow]

Don't rush into a decision. Sit and give it some serious deliberation.

Boobs are serious bizness.

[thespianphryne]

See this is why less well endowed women are high on my radar. There's not much sagging, and the nipples stay where they started out.

[Michael P]

See this is why less well endowed women are high on my radar. There's not much sagging, and the nipples stay where they started out.

Fascinating.

For what it's worth, Sarandon's still good-looking as far as I'm concerned.

And on another note, Das, let me know via PM or email when a good time would be for us to get together, catch up, and me give you the photo from paintball. Which was very nearly one year ago.

[Ronald Bryan]

See this is why less well endowed women are high on my radar. There's not much sagging, and the nipples stay where they started out.
but they don't require trips to the hospital sometimes. And trying to explain to the doctor how you received the head trauma.

[thespianphryne]

I'm not going to disagree that Sarandon is hot. She's a hottie.

Any day but Monday or Wednesday is good for meet up next week. Friday days are good too.

[Ronald Bryan]

Absolutely true. I've seen women in their late 40s with the breasts of 16-year-olds.
There's a horror movie idea. Fifty year old women kidnapping 16 year olds and slicing off their breasts for transplantation. Or would it be the surgeon doing the cutting?

One of the women is the surgeon.

Wouldn't that make it illegal for you to see them topless?

[Ronald Bryan]

Wouldn't that make it illegal for you to see them topless?
Only in the US.

If it also has a hunted vagina, I'm there opening day.



Oh hey, here's a question, anyone here in or near the Boston area or planning to be in March going to PAX East? I'm planning to go, but going alone would be kind of depressing.

I promise, I'm not weird or anything.

Well okay, kind of weird.

[o1pickleboy]

Dylan sucks!!!!

Joey Harrington is a good quarterback

[o1pickleboy]

If you like haunted vagina's I think a know a few girls for you

Ummm..... I prefer Hendrix's version of Watchtower?

You knew what I meant despite my typo. That's why I love you, pickle.

[Cayman]

My kid's writing a novel.

[o1pickleboy]

Ummm..... I prefer Hendrix's version of Watchtower?

I think I will just copy one of paul's posts and put in any political thread

[Ronald Bryan]

Dylan sucks!!!!
Now say it with excessive snark.

[Donald M.]

Hey, Blackest Night, you can kiss my ass.

What, only just now?

Because that was pretty much my reaction the moment it was announced.

[Ronald Bryan]

I had thought about it, then I went poor.

[Cayman]

Hey, Blackest Night, you can kiss my ass.

What did it do now?

[Donald M.]

My kid's writing a novel.

Him and about a billion other people.

Call us if it's any good.

[Ronald Bryan]

Hey, Blackest Night, you can kiss my ass.
What they do now?

[o1pickleboy]

well when you typo your speaking in my native language

Although hunted vagina would of make for a few good joke too

[StoneGold]

What, only just now?

Because that was pretty much my reaction the moment it was announced.

The mini sucks, but I like some of the tie-ins, in a "how bad can they fuck this up" kind of way. Undead Terra trying to rape Beast Boy, that's a keeper!

[Ronald Bryan]

Him and about a billion other people.

Call us if it's any good.
Of which, about 50 actually finish their novels, all 50,000 words of them. And then they get told 50,000 words is only about a hundred page novel, and they cry.

[Cayman]

Him and about a billion other people.

Call us if it's any good.

He'll appreciate the encouragement.

[Ronald Bryan]

He'll appreciate the encouragement.
Well, he is too young.



You have to be 15 to write a masterpiece such as Eragon.

[Donald M.]

Well, he is too young.



You have to be 15 to write a masterpiece such as Eragon.

And you have to seen Star Wars at least once.

[Donald M.]

He'll appreciate the encouragement.

Well, if it's at least semi-readable he's got a good shot at publication these days.

The fewer people read, the more books get published. Explain that one to me.

Seriously though, good luck to your kid. God knows my novel never got off the ground and likely never will.

[Puma]

Went to the optometrist today, eyes are now dilated, the world is very strange.

Had that a couple weeks back. That was fun. Should have brought some sunglasses that day.

I don't often get headaches you seen, but . . .

You should be able to write to a 10-12 year old age level.
You know, to get that 20-30 year old demographic.

[Cayman]

Last time I went to the optometrist, I paid extra to get them examined with that Optomap machine.

It was nice not to have to stumble through the streets of Seattle with those little disposable sunglasses on.

[DoctorDoom]

It's great to be home.

It's not that less people are reading, the people reading are just reading dumber.

[DoctorDoom]

I'm this close to buying a cheap app to read comics on my Ipod Touch.

Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?

[Ronald Bryan]

I'm this close to buying a cheap app to read comics on my Ipod Touch.

Because you need more comics to read?

[Cayman]

I didn't realize JMS was involved with Ninja Assassin.

[Pól Rua]

It's not that less people are reading, the people reading are just reading dumber.

All I know is that there are a lot of people in their 20's and 30's losing their shit over stuff written to a 4th grade reading level for an audience of 10 to 15 year olds.

[Pól Rua]

I didn't realize JMS was involved with Ninja Assassin.

JMS and Ninja Assassin have been dating for several months now.
There's no photos because... y'know... Ninja Assassin.

[Chris N]

All I know is that there are a lot of people in their 20's and 30's losing their shit over stuff written to a 4th grade reading level for an audience of 10 to 15 year olds.

[Ronald Bryan]

All I know is that there are a lot of people in their 20's and 30's losing their shit over stuff written to a 4th grade reading level for an audience of 10 to 15 year olds.
Oh, my mother has read all of the Twilight novels, several times. It got bad enough I suggested the Sookie Stackhouse books to her.


The fact that supports more naked Anna Paquin helped me give her the suggestion.


Oh, the point. The point is that even 52 year olds are reading stuff written at a 4th grade level.

[Cayman]

Ah, I read the Blackest Night thread.

That is lame.

[o1pickleboy]

I so just wanted that thread to disappear

[Chris N]

I did not know about True Blood until Ronald inspired some google-image searching.

[Cayman]

Barnes & Noble had about a dozen of these Terry Goodkind books in the bargain bin, despite it only being released this August.

http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n61/n309122.jpg

It must have tanked pretty hard.

[Ronald Bryan]

I kind of wish (and don't) that they had Rucka's newest book in the bargain section.

[DoctorDoom]

Ah, I read the Blackest Night thread.

That is lame.
Can you spoil me please?

[DoctorDoom]

Because you need more comics to read?
At least it would be more portable for me.

[Ronald Bryan]

Can you spoil me please?
KEAT has been formed.

[Cayman]

Can you spoil me please?

Kyle Rayner appears to die.

Granted, most of the dead characters will probably be resurrected at the end of the mini but it's still annoying. I'm tired of death-based comic events.

[o1pickleboy]

Can you spoil me please?

I would but that requires me to leave you out on the counter overnight and then the cat might get you

[Ronald Bryan]

You could sit her in the microwave or oven to spoil. No cat problems that way.

I have arranged for Doom to be irradiated with gamma rays to prevent spoilage.

They used to hand them out
when I was a kid.
The little paper ones.

Does your doctor not give you the temp ones?

It's been quite a few years since I saw eyes like that in the mirror.


I'm this close to buying a cheap app to read comics on my Ipod Touch.

Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?

I got the Hellboy: Seed of Destruction app a few weeks ago and I was a bit disappointed. If you love the art of comics you might feel the same way. Page layouts don't exist in that particular app, and how could they? A whole comic page can't be read on the scale of an iPod screen so they break it down into individual frames. But it isn't a bad thing to have in your pocket for long waits at the doctors office or other unexpected bits of boredom.

[DoctorDoom]

KEAT has been formed.


Kyle Rayner appears to die.

Ha ha! That'll never last!

Can't wait to read it.

One of the great things
about work is we always ask
about veteran status when we register.
One of my very first patients ever
was in the RAF and just a couple of weeks ago
I had a lady who was a WAC.

[Ronald Bryan]

I thought women got put into refrigerators?
But that keeps them from spoiling.

[o1pickleboy]

I thought women got put into refrigerators?

that is only after your finished with them and have to prove a point to their boyfriends

[Chris N]

Isn't Doom already spoiled?

[howyadoin]

Jesus, Stan Lee says some odd shit on Twitter.

[o1pickleboy]

Jesus, Stan Lee says some odd shit on Twitter.

He says some odd shit in real life too. At least he is consistent

[Ronald Bryan]

Isn't Doom already spoiled?
You're right, she does live in a mansion. And gets to see Zachary Quinto at work.

[Cayman]

Jesus, Stan Lee says some odd shit on Twitter.

Is it really him?

I have arranged for Doom to be irradiated with gamma rays to prevent spoilage.

Salt works as well.

Stan is on Twitter.

[howyadoin]

Is it really him?It's a verified account:

[Tages]

As my roommate says, it's alcohol. It never goes bad, it just might not taste as good.

What did you think I meant by "ruined?"

[StoneGold]

It's a verified account:

http://twitter.com/smilinstanlee

I'm guessing it's a mix of him and one of his handlers.

[Ronald Bryan]

What did you think I meant by "ruined?"
All you need is something to mix it with at that point. Ruined would be if it was undrinkable. Which would be a tragedy worth getting acquitted for murder for.

[o1pickleboy]

I'm guessing it's a mix of him and one of his handlers.

Well I would rather be the handler that posts the weird shit on twitter than the one in charge of the diaper changing

[K'Nort]

I blame Tim Robbins. He did something. Maybe sucked on them too much.

Isn't she the one who used to endorse breast feeding until they were in kindergarten?

[K'Nort]

One of my very first patients ever

My maternal grandmother was in the Canadian version. She has some neat stories, although most involve her utter incompetence.

[Ronald Bryan]

Isn't she the one who used to endorse breast feeding until they were in kindergarten?
And she was probably feeding Robbins long after that.

[howyadoin]

Well I would rather be the handler that posts the weird shit on twitter than the one in charge of the diaper changingY'know, this could be a whole new career for you.

[Rallura]

Oh that's cool.
I had an uncle who served
on an aircraft carrier.
He would never talk about it though.

I had another vet recently,
only in his twenties,
I swear he must have said
"Yes Ma'am" about 50 times.

[Ronald Bryan]

Y'know, this could be a whole new career for you.
I wouldn't mind a handler to tweet all of my daily activities for me.

[o1pickleboy]

Y'know, this could be a whole new career for you.

It could be if any of my local colleges offer languages courses in perverted jew.

My only other option is to pay typo lad for lessons and I can't afford him.

Perverted Jew, and you never thought to ask StoneGold?

I, Ronald Bryan, am playing video games. Again.

Something like that?

[o1pickleboy]

I wouldn't mind a handler to tweet all of my daily activities for me.

that would be a easy job.

Well that right there is a sad thought.

[Pól Rua]

Today is Pulp Heroes day at work.
We started with 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', followed by 'The Shadow' and now we are midway through 'The Phantom' with 'Flash Gordon' and 'The Rocketeer' to go.

I really enjoyed 'The Phantom'. Everyone is so committed to their roles. The laser battle at the end is still dumb, but Catherine Zeta-Jones as an evil 30's Aviatrix more than makes up for it.

Ha-chachacha!

[K'Nort]

I can't wait until I don't have to share my internet with a whole building.

Make sure to quote through all of Flash.

"Flying blind on a rocket cycle?"

Still one of my favorite movie lines just from Blessed's delivery.

[StarsAndGarters]

I can't wait until I don't have to share my internet with a whole building.

Is it slowing down? That happens at my apartment sometimes. Although not too often. I think I'm at work during peak hours.

[DoctorDoom]

I'm guessing it's a mix of him and one of his handlers.
If that's so, then maybe my friend might have something to do with it.

(He did Stan's Myspace sometime back)

Love it to bits. It's held up so well.
I held off on re-viewing it for years because I was terrified it was gonna be all campy and horrible, but by god it's some damn fine cheese!

[DoctorDoom]

Isn't Doom already spoiled?
Heh. I guess I am. I certainly feel that way right now.

Podcasts. Music. Videos. GPS. And now...comics on my Ipod touch?

Can it be? Can I really have it all?

[howyadoin]

So now that my book is nearly done, I need to start looking at the specific details for when I get it printed. For instance, there are two different paper stocks I can use: the 80-lb. matte-finish "traditional" paper, or the 100-lb. silk-finish premium stuff.

Personally, I'm leaning towards the premium, because it'll look and feel better, and it only adds about three bucks to the price of a single book. It is 35% heavier, though, so I'm assuming shipping costs will be higher.

Thoughts and opinions?

[Rallura]

Heh. I guess I am. I certainly feel that way right now.

Podcasts. Music. Videos. GPS. And now...comics on my Ipod touch?

Can it be? Can I really have it all?


There will be something else you need
invented tomorrow.

Good thing I don't have one. Wait...

[StarsAndGarters]

Okay, the song I'm listening to---on my iPod---just slowed down. At least a good 15-20%. Which makes sense once I realized, duh, I was listening to a concert bootleg from 1997 and the guy's tape deck probably had batteries that were dying. But I was looking at it with a pretty strange look on my face for a good minute.

What is your priority on the book making money or making the something your proud of?

If your looking for short term and money. I would say go cheaper for a chance to increase the volume of sales.

if your looking long term go with what make it look the best and what you want to show off

Barnes & Noble had about a dozen of these Terry Goodkind books in the bargain bin, despite it only being released this August.

http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n61/n309122.jpg

It must have tanked pretty hard.

If anything it had to do with differing opinions of what "fantasy" was, I think. Some people were saying it wasn't fantasy while other were saying it was. Then other came in saying it was but not regular Goodkind fantasy and it just became a lot of tick marks.

Leading up the theatre release of Star Trek was this huge production of him getting mugged on the way to his agents. As a result he got a job as this old guy's driver. At one point he's framed for murder of one of lesbian next door neighbors, one of which was having an affair with the old guy, and was on the run hiding out in Malibu before it all came to a head at the opening of the movie.

[Paradox]

jdwrocks suggests:

Christ man, nothing wrong with hookers...or so I'm told.

Meh, I'm not that driven by my gonads. I have a hand, it's free and it doesn't make me jump through any hoops before it'll give in.

Besides, you've never seen the quality (or lack thereof) of the prostitutes in this area. I would be better off picking up some fat ugly girl at a seedy bar, if I cared enough to go that way.

Now, if I were in, perhaps, Amsterdam...

[StoneGold]

I don;t know what that is, but it sounds horrible.

In his book, 'Men of Tomorrow', Gerard Jones talks a bit about Stan's upbringing. Apparently, his mum always believes he was gonna be a big success and she lavished praise and attention on him at the expense of his dad and brother.
To his credit, Stan always felt guilty about this and did his best to make it up to Larry.

There was a thing a couple years ago where Stan "recreated" a bunch of DC characters "The Marvel Way."

Welcome to DC. Here's your roofies.

[Justin D.]

There are lots of fans of Mouse Guard here, right? I've been hesitant about picking it up. Yes, the art looks gorgeous, but I wasn't sure about the story.

Sooooo, say I could pick up the book for $5.98 at a local book store? Is that a good deal? How about if I apply a 40 percent coupon that makes it $3.57 before tax?

What about Noble Causes? I've read the first couple trades and liked them, but now see there are omnibuses out that collect those trades plus 16 more issues. However, the omnibus is in black and white. The only bothersome thing there is that they greyscaled the color comics instead of using the inked pencils to create the B & W omnibus. This muddies the art some. The same book store has it here for $7.98 (before any coupon)).

Yes, it's inexpensive, but I've always thought that "it's not a deal because it's cheap if you don't want/like/use it". Same thing I used to tell my grandparents when they'd buy four cases of peas at a time that no one would eat.

[thespianphryne]
