Thanks.  It's a girl, and we're naming her Greta.

Greta 'ATB' Kratzer.  I like it.

...because I had a nominal advantage of being on a small hill that was slightly higher than the ground he was standing on.

So we'll give the state govs MORE money to mismanage?

All this will change in a month with kid #2, I am sure

Congratulations!

Spoiler for Hiden:

Doubt you'll find a name to top Otto as that was just perfect.

Liking people who agree with you is such a fantastic way to populate your social circle.  I wish I could limit mine like that.  

Don't think that just because I don't like you I don't have people like you in my circles... they're just funny and original.

You're just saying that because you didn't get your full 11 hours of sleep.  I know you like me. 

It's true. 

That is just terrible.

I've been around for a long time, both here and at OO. Don't post much anymore, but my opinion is as valid as any of yours. BTW, how many of you 'oh so fair minded people' bothered to watch any of the Benghazi hearings today? Or do you only watch the LSM and didn't even know about it. In case any of you forgot, 4 Americans died in that attack, and it was blamed on a stupid video no one had ever heard of. Now, I'm going to make my husband dinner, so just blast away as most of you usually do if someone doesn't fit your 'mold', or doesn't agree with your 'talking points'.

I knew I liked you. 

well then.  good thing you fell on the ALT and S keys as well.   

BTW- Up since 4.   Not kid related.

Simple answer to questions:

No
Hell No

Shockingly enough, I actually recognize your screen name!

If there is one property custom made for awesomeness it's Dungeon's and Dragons.

Have hellacious fights with swords and magic, dragons biting people in half.. Plot: Guy gets group of adventurers together to get a treasure from some evil guy (Venger?). Then it's nonstop action and fighting, maybe some light character development, awesome special effects (stay away Bay), maybe a little hide the half orc scene, people dying. etc.

And no computerized anything. Old school special effects.

$100,000,000 first weekend guranteed.

People who have done worse are buried in cemeteries. 

Just heard that EA is taking over the Star Wars video game franchise.

What's that sound I hear?

Oh, it's the sound of EA raping your Star Wars video games.. gently. 

What was the last good one, though? KOTOR 2?

Trailer

 

Yus!

Oh hepcat,  you simply do not understand what a herculean feat it is for a married man and father of children to achieve such a glorious and amazing length of rest. 

Words like unprecedented, incomprehensible, statistically-impossible come to mind!

Collapsed into bed at 8:30!!! Woke up at 7:30!!! Woo!!!!!

Happy Wednesday!!!

The fact that no one will take his body for burial is ridiculous.

I take that back. Just watched that clip (wtf is that music) and pretty much all of them still look amazing.

Clash of the Titans still looks amazing, IMO.

Michael trailer remade with GTA:San Andreas

That's pretty great.

I just started noticing this today.

Meh.

13/13, but it felt a little "fixed" as a number of questions dealt with geology and pharmacy, ironically two subjects I have a bit of experience with.  

If only today's pharmacogenomics final would be along similar lines as the questions in this quiz. 

You almost DONE done, Pete?

EA to the rescue?

It has bipartisan support in the senate. Hopefully the House kills it. Of course Obama's on board.

13/13 here as well, helps to be a chemistry technician as well as a radiation protection technician, I knows me some radioactivity and atom structure along with the composition of air.  I think I would have missed the fracking question if one of the choices had been oil, that's what I thought is was for. 

They do use frakking for oil as well.  I know it's widely used for that in my home state of ND.

My go to was oil.  Not seeing it there I chose natural gas.

Cool! I'm upping my score to 14/13.

 

12/13.

I knew the correct answer was not oxygen but i could not remember which one was the correct one.  Also, it's not millions of years... 

[Spoiler]

Yeah, Hemlock Grove. I have no idea what to make of it. I'm on the 3rd or 4th episode and it's really not very good, is largely nonsensical, has almost nothing going for it, yet I continue to work through it.

Maybe it's in hopes of some kind of a ha moment that makes it all worth it but I'm in no rush to continue with it though.

That said, there is one thing that I find refreshing about it:

Ep 3 or 4 spoiler re: Peter

Spoiler for Hiden:

They use actual wolves for the werewolves. Also I think Peter's transformation scene was the best one I've ever watched for a werewolf.

I thought 3 was fun. I'll watch 4.

Like I said earlier, I'm more shocked at how god awfully unfunny the commercial is.  It's far more disturbing than anything else.

I agree!

Okay, so racism for you means thinking you're better than anyone else because of your race?  If so, do you understand that creating and repeating a negative stereotype about a race might be one way a racist might reinforce that belief?

I'm not defending the commercial. I just don't see overt racism and I think people are reaching too far to get angry about it.  The commercial is satirical and it should be taken in that spirit. The rules for satire are different.

When Richard Pryor did his white guy impression was he being racist?

Jamie Foxx saying black people are the most talented people in the world.

Pretty sure there's a black cop in there too (I refuse to watch it again). Does that make it better?

This reeks of making a story out of nothing a la the 'uproar' over a white guy doing a jamaican accent in that VW superbowl commercial (which was GREAT).

Intriguing trailer.

How is it racist because everyone in the line up is black?  Or because they're all black and in there with a goat?  I'm not sure I've ever heard a racial thing about blacks and goats.

What's the deal with the goat? Is that MD's new mascot?

Either way, it's the stupidest commercial I've ever seen.

Tried to youtube that jimmy connors clip. Only version I found was in french...

Meet Wesley Warren Jr and his 132 lb scrotum.

though this isn't the kind of thing that will convince me to get a next-gen Xbox.

What would?

My hope is that they redefine the shooter genre like they did with COD4.

Never cared for them
