Walsingham

Same here. Haven't seen the TV show yet, but it was the only title I recognised in the airport book store I enjoyed the first book.. the second was entertaining but nothing brilliant. And then somewhere around the third or fourth book I just hit a wall and couldn't read anymore of that series.. Maybe one of these days I'll make another attempt, but eh.. Just as well, given that you were likely reading at the time when he had to stop for a bit.

Attempting to defend very vulnerable portions of the network doesn't mean that eventually I won't be able to go to my kitchen without getting buttsearched. Even if we extend the timeline to when I really will need a stennah. Fascism is the extreme end of an axis of state power versus individual power. I suggest that what you are panicing about is just a move towards state power. But this is no more protofascism than I become proto Libyan by walking Eastwards. In fact it's simply a case of the people demanding that the state fulfil its obligation to act as defender of life and liberty. Because the majority of people object to tiny groups of halfwits committing mass murder, enough to be prepared to sacrifice some personal liberty in order to reduce it.

Green With Envy trailer for proper people. Thanks. Love the bait and switch.

Oner, what in the name of Bonaparte's nutsnack was that cartoon?

Wderanged, you can't seriously be saying that the fact that most attacks are now in shopping areas that this means planes are somehow not targets? The shift to very low security targets is a function of improved safety at big targets. More importantly you've got incidences regularly of cells plotting to attack airports and planes, but being thwarted by intelligence lead operations long before fruition. It's all very trendy to say we are being exploited through a climate of fear. And I can see how it would play into some politicians hands. But the convenience of terror to some people does not erase the genuine threat it poses. Unless you wish to suggest we collectively accept a few thousand deaths a year as the price for not being groped now and then. Personally I'd rather have the sanctity of my balls violated but still physically attached, than pristine* and flapping about in the turbulence of an exploding airliner. *The pristinitude of my balls may go down as well as up. Terms and conditions apply.

I don't understand this TSA business. If you put an area of the body off limits then THAT'S WHERE PEOPLE WILL PUTS STUFF. FFS, it's not complicated.

Not sure why you'd choose Red Stripe, other than the 2.5 week dry spot.

It's not just cazadores that spawn there. I was stealthing in and heard heavy breathing, turned and saw THREE yao guai at arm's length. Screamed like a little girl.

Got to agree with purkake. Mask of the Betrayer was IMO a spiritual successor. Had lots of tips of the hat, and general planes related shenanigans.

That sounds pretty drastic. I'm tempted to just write off those particular files.

Heh. I was talking to a WO2 the other day, a tankie, and he said "Yanks think they drink, but they don't really drink" and I thought "Well I can think of one who does."

Trust an Englishman to complain about drizzle when others have been ****ing vacuumed into the ****ing sky.

Fething Apple can feth off.

Sounds like a damn good night out, to be fair.

It's not academic in the US. At least, based on my watching the show Oz.

I'm not having us go into another ex-related tailspin. Go, I charge thee, and seek out cute energetic ladies.

They find other morons over the internet that agree with them and get together to procreate. blurring the line between us and them a little there. BTW when it comes the time for Obsidianites to repopulate the wasteland I got first dibs on Wals. Hey! I'm standing right here!

That's not drunk. THIS is d...

Apparently the Rapture has been set back by five months or so. Something about God giving us less time for suffering or somesuch. I just feel sorry for the folks who believed him, now. I mean, why believe the nut in the first place? You'd have to be pretty unhappy.

By text? Coward. She had just texted me. It seemed the logical thing to do. Just spoke to her by phone, tho. Damned if iknow what we have in common besides thinking the other is cute, but it's a good place to start.

Seems pretty justified, to be fair. He goes in for a longer re-assessment. It seems to me that we maybe ought to do something about unsupervised nutters running amok. Fellah in Tenerife cut a lady's head off the other week. Had been telling people Jesus wanted him to kill for ages.

What, I'm a minion now? I didn't realise my labcoat had "Igor" on the back.. Although I can do a good Marty Feldman impression... Look, someone has to fetch the brains. If you're not going to do it, can you spin the lettuce while I fetch them?

Gfted1s not lying. I'd probably sleep with the Pope right now if he put on lipstick. That's why I'm slightly confused to be chasing a seemingly receptive looker. But this is all a bit previous, since she hasn't agreed yet, and it's only a date anyway. EDIT: And before any wisecracks. I checked with third parties to make sure she is good looking.

If she made that big an impression on you.. it could be luuurv. Quiet you. Fetch more brains.
