Past behavior suggests that neither of them is all that prone to thinking farther ahead than the next few minutes.

I had no idea what your political orientation was; what I found ironic was the (facetious, I hope) violent sentiment expressed in a thread inspired by senseless violence.

Not a bad episode last night (4/18), but as usual, the episode raises more questions than it answers. Chief among them: My favorite lines from this episode belong to Saywer and Charlie: Sawyer regarding the pingpong table: "If we don't play every 108 minutes, the island explodes."...

Next time someone asks me to define irony, I'm going to show them this thread.

HULK DEMOLIRI! Of course, we'd have to have the heroes witness the fall of the Republic. Heck, I'd have them be involved in it, whether they wanted to be or not, and whether or not they even mean to be.

Darn! Why didn't I think of that?

That's the only person I ever speak for.

I like history. I like comic book superheroes. Naturally, I like comic book superheroes against a historical backdrop. (Yeah, I loved me some Marvel 1601 even though I don't read mainstream Marvel.) In another thread, I mentioned my appreciation of ancient Rome, particularly the late Republican...

Carolyn gave me bios of Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, and Hamilton last year for my birthday. They were brilliant reads. The Federalist Papers are difficult reading, but very well worth it for anyone who hopes to intelligently discuss the U.S. Constitution. Hats off to you for reading them.

DISCLAIMER: Before I address the question, I want to make it clear that neither this argument, nor the original statement that it supports, is or was intended to be a personal attack. Misquotes are one of my pet peeves, especially when the misquote alters the meaning of the original. (Thus I...

Not mine. I've only just forgiven him for "Ministry of Space." :wink:

Could it be worse than Carrie: The Musical? Or the musical about a decade ago that was about the Shroud of Turin (really, I wouldn't lie to you about that).

A Harvard freshman, newly arrived, is looking for the library. He stops an upperclassman and says, "Pardon me, can you tell me where the library is at?" The upperclassman sneers at him. "At Harvard, we do not end our sentences with a preposition." The freshman considers this and rephrases...

Of course, if he shot himself in the face, odds are good that dental records aren't going to be very useful... The actual quote is "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." The difference is significant.

Re: The Off-Topic Thread The 2nd amendment reads, "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." There's another version that reads slight differently: "A well regulated Militia, being...

I've been down with the flu. I finally got everything (work, household chores, all that jazz) under control so that I can get back to enjoying message boards... and discovered about a zillion posts to catch up on. :shock: Worse still? Everything I wanted to talk about -- my fave comics, Lost...

A co-worker of mine once remarked, "I love eBay. You can find anything on eBay. Once I lost my car keys, and I found them on eBay." I'm pretty sure he stole that line from someone, but it was still funny.

Art justifies itself.

I once answered the question, "Define carpe diem" with, "Catch of the day." I knew what it meant and that the professor knew that I knew what it meant. He gave me full credit for the answer.

So we should expect to eventually see these two again, if only as corpses. Maybe Vincent will dig them up.
