Instead of closing the thread Nils just removed some of your excellent contributions towards my win.

That's true.  But I have backups of the excised pages.

They may return, and in greater number!

ETA I do change my mind about the John Wick movies, at least the first two (haven't seen the third yet).  For one, the character Wick dresses like an adult, which makes his character more relatable to me.  No, I don't wear bespoke suits with "tactical lining," but just regular pants and shirts, in a little more formal style, that made me think he was more a regular character.  For two, the car action scenes didn't seem obviously cartoonish.  I can't really approve of the fighting scenes, but it's a lot better in terms of camera placement, editing, and the actual placement of the action, you know, fight choreography, than anything I've seen out of Hollywood in a long time, or perhaps ever.

And, damnit, Keanu is perfectly all right in the role!  I can't help but laugh a bit, considering, you know, it's Keanu, but he seemed to manage to stay on his mark and say the right lines without stuttering, which is more than I could do, so he can be allowed.

I think I saw the second one.  If you've seen one, you've seen them all.

What... what the hell? I didn't say anything out of line. If anyone did, it was most likely J_Tour.

This act of aggression cannot stand!  And the name is j.  j_tour! 

I don't think anyone's said anything remotely treasonable recently, but maybe outin is right, if some unnamed person were to keep going with the jokes, probably some Nellie would complain about "zomg think of the children!"

BTW, I think your posts are adorable, little sailor boy! 

Yeah.  Come sit on daddy's lap for a while! 

[perfect_pitch]

Not even if there was a pot of gold in your lap.

Seriously - how could you write that and NOT reference the Simpsons???

I'll answer the last question first:  because I'm a functional alcoholic, and I haven't seen The Simpsons in twenty years.

But I'll address your first point:  not just a pot of gold, nor even a package stuffed with Lucky Charms brand cereal.  It's covered in gravy.

Not to worry:  the dingos will get to it soon enough.

You realise I haven't seen it in 20 years either, but damn, that part stuck with me forever.

*Bob annoyed, or more then annoyed.*  I've seen that before in education.  If someone wants to do something, they just say, "It's for the children.  This is what's best for the children's education."  But sometimes you can also turn the situation around and "what's best for the children, for their education" is the exact opposite too.  And then it can become a situation where someone wants something, and just throws in, "It's for the children," and that adds weight to their argument.   *Bob is aware the people being influenced by that are often times stupid and wonders how he got himself into that situation.*

Now we know why all of us who were children in the 70's became such a miserable bunch!

[perfect_pitch]

Hey - I was born in the 80's, and had Britney Spears parading about in high school uniform in the late 90's...

What a TIME to be a teenager.

Someone should definitely have saved the children then...

And in case you missed the sarcasm, nothing like some good grooves to help one grow strong and sturdy!

[j_tour]

You guys are all miserable bunches.

J_Tour - your inability to embed videos that will work on other sites is incredible.

It says video unavailable... good work. You're almost getting as bad as Bob.

[j_tour]

Boy, you better work on your manners.  That's youtube's problem:  it was fine when I posted it.

In fact it was so not unavailable I don't remember what it was. 

[perfect_pitch]

It still is unavailable.

Damnit... the YouTube embedding won't allow us to post videos that start at a particular timestamp.

Have this instead:



(It's from a TV show that no one gives a crap about anymore...    )

[j_tour]

It still is unavailable.

Damnit... the YouTube embedding won't allow us to post videos that start at a particular timestamp.

Are you saying you have an inability to post embedded UTube videos correctly?  Like a savage?

[Bob]

Yep.  mp4's and timestamped youtube videos would improve the forum.


I was happier when we got this compared to the 60's Batman.

Nope - Christian Bale is the CLEAR winner. Ben Affleck was terrible, and George Clooney was just an unmitigated disaster.

But Adam West had the biggest bat-bulge, although his live-in "ward" claimed it was padded.

Still, he was a gentle lover in his prime.  Not much of a lady's man, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Mmmmm... that's how most paedophiles would describe themselves, so I wouldn't use that statement.

You sound very well-informed, Karen.

"what's best for the children, for their education" is the exact opposite too.

Don't think that Adam West-era Batfreak didn't use a ruler on his boy ward's knuckles!  It was for the child's own good!

No... that has to be the WORST Arnold Schwarzenegger impression I have EVER heard.

I know Broadway is running out of ideas... which is they they're beginning to turn every Disney and Animation movie into a musical, but we do NOT need a Predator Musical.

Yeah... when they're smart enough to realise your frank-n-beans is covered in gravy, you may regret covering your crotch in sauce.

Really??? While I was away, all you did was talk about musicals???

Thought you would get up to something a little more sordid... or interesting.

It's not just a musical. 

It's a potent, virile testament to admiration of man's dedication to bodybuilding.

I assure you, there is no possible way that observing and admiring the male form while singing and dancing has not anything to do with Western art music played at the keyboard.

And I don't see you admiring the male form!  Do it!  Get to ze chopper!  Admire it!

I admire my form... no interest in admiring Arnold's.

Indeed.  I'm frequently late for appointments:  you know how it is, when you pump up, oil down, and admire yourself in front of a mirror.

I think it's a fine hobby, and it's extraordinary for one's self-esteem.

So many decisions:  wear the 1970s pornstache, the banana hammock, embrace the David Carradine beer gut. 

It's rewarding, I find.

A daily affirmation.

So I can use Rogaine to grow more chest hair, right?  Burt Reynolds would not have been proud of me.

I said that I admire myself in the mirror... not stare longingly into it and drool like some drug-addled dumb-arse as I caress every single muscles.

Who needs oil???

You're walking a very fine line, boy!

One day you're admiring yourself for a moment.

Then the thong comes out. 

Then you start posing down and taking pictures to send in to various musclebuilder magazines.

Just like getting tattoos:  it's a very slippery slope.

Very rarely do people observe the trend until it's too late.

Keep on oiling that hog, son. 

Trust me, you'll get there soon enough.

I'm not even sure where this conversation is going anymore, so I'm just going to be the winner now until someone comes along and posts later.

This is a blood feud!

There can be only one!

If you're having to stoop so low as to embed quotes from bloody 'Highlander'...

The feud is already over; not only have you lost - you've died, your rotting corpse is getting ripe under the summer sun and I've already kicked the crap out of your lifeless carcass and have defecated on what remains.

Not all you can do is return to the earth and sink back to the dirt and let nature take its course.
