Consider this my quarter-vote in each category. Growing up seeing mostly the left-right dichotomy, I was attracted to the independent party as being... well independent. Now I have many of the same difficulties with them as I do with other established parties. Comparing their original agenda with th...

I am quite impressed at how busy the boys at Blizzard have been: Diablo 3, StarCraft 2, and World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King?

Dang.

Fred and Humble Master: If either of you ever accidentally come face-to-face with Angelina Jolie in a dark alleyway late at night, would you please greet her with the warning "none of your lip!" That would be awesome. While it wasn't in a dark alleyway late at night, I came face-to-face w...

I don't claim to understand much (read: any) of what exactly happened, but I can say it was amusing for me to return from NE and find the inbox completely empty. I had to guess between a crash or a couple of hyperactive new writers with NO lives. As far as I can tell, until midnight last night the c...

Thank you for the clarification, I was fairly sure that is what you meant but figured I would double-check. I, (like usual, I've been noticing), could very well argue for either side of the issue. In my opinion this dichotomy is part of the definition of a forum, hovering somewhere between an immens...

I really enjoyed Cognoscente's response to #44496. "I sure hope you're hot, because frankly your taste in music is awful." When I read that, I lol-ed...literally. His response threw me for a moment, I was still picturing the "apparently 7-years-old" and somehow hot isn't associa...

I served there. Recently met up with another human who served there, and it put me in something of a mood. Die, infidels. Wait... you're insisting you're human? The tiger is human? What does that make us? And, do you mean there are non-humans out in the mission field? Nah, I think he's just stating...

A Mom, I would tend to agree with you on the whole "don't watch it too soon after reading" idea. Yet with Michael Crichton, that delay time may just stretch to infinity. Jurassic Park is probably the best Crichton book-to-movie transition, and if that scarred you, think of how bad Sphere i...

On a personal note, I remember a kid in my kindergarten class that threw a tantrum and swore, flipped off and (if I remember right) swung at our teacher. The principal came and had to manhandle (kidhandle?) him out of the room. I don't know if the officials became involved, but it wouldn't surprise ...
