  1. R.I.P., sir. You were a gentleman and an icon.
  2. Happy birthday, dude. Thanks again for that awesome reply to you-know-who (no, not our You Know Who) that I had to unfortunately delete.
  3. Indeed. Thank you for adding pages for redlinks. I've been dreading making a Superman: Doomsday page forever since the movie isn't really bad, but mediocre, and I remember so very little about it.
  4. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think Chad Bradford would be mentioned, let alone have a picture of him posted, on this forum.
  5. Did you have to get an agent for your book? Because I keep reading on all the publisher websites I visit that they don't take "unsolicited submissions."
  6. Six months, 40,000+ words and 79 pages in my word processor later, I've finished my book. It is a reference book of sorts--a thesaurus for middle and high school students that defines synonyms one by one and explains logical places to use them instead of just blindly picking them out of a Roget's. My mother is proofreading it for me--former English teacher and all that. I hope to be able to self publish it soon.
  7. It's not the images I worry about. I don't mind there being a Romeo and Juliet page but it can't just be copied from somewhere else and have one line thrown in trying to be snarky.
  8. FYI: I may have to delete a couple of these new pages just because they don't really have much context or relation to the podcast. I did delete the Romeo and Juliet page because it was copy/pasted directly from another source (Wikipedia?).
  9. And because NO ONE demanded it, Nicolas Cage and Hayden Christensen are starring in a movie together.
  10. In fairness, I haven't finished anything, and I've barely started a couple of them.
  11. It's been at least ten years since I watched Lola Rennt, so if I watched it again, I might have a different opinion on it.
  12. Hell yeah. Congrats, man. I eagerly await the feeling of finishing my first book.
  13. That was the most asininely booked Royal Rumble I have ever seen. Which is saying a ton considering last year's debacle.
  14. Unfortunately, I can't make it this year. New job working a lot more hours, and I have training around that time that I can't miss.
  15. Thanks, everyone. The actual day sucked balls, but I'll be having my belated birthday dinner Monday.

    Randomness

    As some of you know, I'm writing a reference book to help middle and high school students write better papers (just hit 20,000 words, btw) and I noticed that in my list of words to avoid, these two were back-to-back: Loud Love So, I got a Soundgarden reference into my book without even trying. Bonus.
  17. The Sony Playstation debuted 20 years ago today.
  18. Damien and I about a week ago said we would never subject ourselves to that bloated mess.

    The news thread

    Can someone please explain the logic of looting and vandalizing businesses at all, let alone on one's own community? You're protesting violence against someone by committing violent/destructive acts against people and their property? You're also causing people to lose their jobs. How is that supposed to help anyone, again?
