Cats are tiny tiny satans. You and Raithe need to have a young priest and an old priest throw your cats out.

That's why I got me the antlers. For the ladeeez.

I'd suggest that the difference is intent. I have a friend who cuts strangers open almost every day. They are frequently hospitalised. She's a doctor. To use an expression I heard this morning, 'putting warheads on foreheads' can be for good or bad. It's not double standards, it's just not moral relativism. Although I expect I've made a logical error in there somewhere. EDIT: Di, making things worse is often the first step in making them better. Ever had chemo, or renovated a house?

I'd get me some antlers.

Love Masters of Orion 2. Fav pick has to be subterranean. More people per planet means huge efficiency savings in terms of buildings and defence. Second fav is unification government. Unification may be creepy, but you get spying defence bonuses, food AND production bonuses by percentage, and you thereby if you match it with relevant buffs in those areas the game becomes relatively easy. Fav negatives have to be uncreative, because it just saves me having to think about what to research (you get them randomly) and slow breeding. Slow breeding can be a pain, but it's simple enough to counter once you get your production up and can tell your subjects to 'make love for war'. Least favourite positive has to be cybernetic. In the early game you just can't afford to lose so much production.

For a moment there I thought I was in the romance thread.

As compelling yet shameful as the huge oreo cookie milkshake I had earlier: April Smith and the Great Picture Show

Apparently Crysis2 is looking swell on the 360. As usual, it's much more about software and how much work you put into it than the hardware. Interesting. I'm not doubting you, but do you have any linkable pieces discussing this point?

If that's pointed at me I'd like to know why you're describing them as good not knowing anything about their standards of conduct or long term intent. And if you DO know the aforementioned would you please get in touch with HM Britannic Majesty's government and let them know? Malcolm Rifkind has been stamping about demanding we should arm the rebels. because, you know, arming nebulous guerrilla rebels always works so well for us. Although having said that, maybe we could foist all our ageing Challenger 2 tanks on them. Hard to smuggle one of them onto a plane. EDIT: How on earth have I been argued round to being a cynical noninterventionist?

Tweet made me laugh. No trolling intended.

Shouldn't this be in the man crush thread? Funny how movie titles gain a whole new perspective as one's mind becomes more corrupt. ROFL.

From (obviously) the Daily Telegraph. 1. I may be wrong, but isn't there something fundamentally awry with anarchists demanding anyone pays tax? 2. It strikes me more and more that ''anarchism' is just football hooliganism for the middle classes. And the relationship between 'anarchists' and politics is exactly the same as that between hooligans and football. They co-occur but don't really have anything to do with one another.

I take your point. But at the same time, if you inject a number of AlQ franchise holders into a largely spontaneous and disorganised rebellion, when AlQ models itself on Marxist insurgent tactics, then surely the eventual outcome is clear. The communists... I mean AlQaedists... will dominate by indoctrinating or killing all those in the middle ground or opposed to them.

Well, I guess me and the rebels will have to disagree with you, then.

Next DLC is definitely going on pre-order.

ASfter having such a shout out with Orogun I thought it was only sporting to post this article, which begins: The Reg basically goes on to say that the nuke plant is basically fine, and that the habit of posting everything in terms of official safe level multiples makes it sound a hell of a lot scarier than it is. They also have been recently pointing out that this is an example of nuclear power WORKING. Because here we had an ancient 1950s designed reactor coping non-catastrophically with a disaster far beyond any envisaged. Modern reactors, they argue, would be even better.

Shouldn't this be in the man crush thread?

Step too far there, 'Obyknevn'. You are Lord of Flies, and we claim our five pounds.

God DAMN it.

After an unsuccessful search for the hot women I indulged in a hour of hoofing up and down the hill. I feel pretty goddamn great, and am hoping I can keep this level up for a while. One hour a day should put me on a definite uphill (no pun intended) curve health and fitness wise. According to the internets one hour burns about 470 calories which is great. For now I'm increasing my intake to make up the additional expenditure to make sure I put on the necessary muscle. But once I've been going for a couple more weeks I'll try to reduce to what I was eating last month and see the weight fall off.* My longer term goal is to increase both duration and speed of ascent so I'm jogging up, and proceeding down in the same slow careful fashion to avoid jarring my spine. Two hours a day and I should be one of those tiresomely spry old men one sees trotting about. *terms and conditions apply. My intake of beer may go up as well as down.

Sorry about letting this slide for a while. If we get a couple of projects oriented in the next few days I aim to reactivate the campaign.

Firstly oil prices are not exactly plummeting. Nor are gas prices. Secondly your own quoted article states that nationalisation was a negotiation tactic, not a serious threat. Thirdly and far more importantly, your only interest in this issue is transparently obvious: an opportunity to thump the US and Great Britain. Fourthly, even if one accepts your premise that oil and gas prices are dangerously low, the party who stands to gain most from a Libyan panic is Russia. But that would be far too disturbing to your monochromatic nationalism. EDIT: Since I'm equally obviously not going to change your mind, have a freebie on me, Obyknven: http://tarpley.net/ The author claims that according to a Westpoint study some 18% of AlQ suicide bombers identified in Iraq were from Libya and some 60% from Darnah, one of the rebel strongholds. Which might not cheer you until you see that the author also contends that AlQ is an American invention. So there you have it - a smoking gun PROVING your points.

That's just being boring. There's bed..there's the bath, the shower, the kitchen counter, the dining room.. Sometimes you just have to enjoy exploring the house in fresh ways.. What I've understood so far is that you chaps have hidden hot women in my house, and I have to go find them.
