Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I have only about 10 vowel sounds.

I'm down to about 6. And they're all schwa.

Our wings are not tired.

The kidnapping of Crowe would be a bad nasty thing, but not so much culturally destabilizing. I would still be culturally stable at any rate.

Art Crawl!!!

I was over at Amazon looking at the cover for HP6 and you know what?

Even if I thought I wanted to spend $60.00 on the supergigantic special edition, I wouldn't. Because I don't think there have been supergigantic special editions with sooperseekrit cover art for the other books and it would mean that my collection did not match.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Colin Farrell is lucky he didn't get kidnapped instead.

Compassionately intolerant

Crowe said he first thought the scheme was part of some elaborate Oscar publicity stunt hatched by studio executives.

Somebody's getting publicity...sadly.

And frankly, I think Paul Rueben's arrest had more cultural impact...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I was sort of picturing it as a quick, sordid information retrieval done in some dirty back alley, or a nearby motel room over you lunch hour.

At least it isn't done for money.

information libertarian

ita's joke was funnier than anything Chris Rock aid at the Oscars.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I know I have at least 10 because of the long and short sound for each vowel. I still clearly fall in the not distinguishing between words that are spelt differently (erin/aaron) (cot/caught) ad naseum. also this is discussion #48 and should be in the deja vu thread.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I pronounce most of my vowels, but only when my fork is my right hand.
