Rapper acts like ****
You think Ice-T would give a **** if he came up against someone who inevitably doesn't like him. I'm not saying Ice-T is some sort of general role model, but most 'gangsta' rappers these days are just fethwits actually trying to get into gangsta rather than people complaining about it.

Dragon Age discussion
I really haven't enjoyed a game this much in a long time. I very much enjoy the strategic planning of which fights and areas to take on. I enjoy the characters in your party. I enjoy the humour. What else is there to say?

Yahtzee reviews
Might as well ask the guy why he made that basic and egregious mistake to not save for an hour (or switch auto saves on?). I just read his blog and my considered opinion is that his complaint boils down to him being a retard. He actually wants his hand held and be walked thorugh all the tactics and options. Well **** him, I says. **** him right in the ear. I'll be damned if I have to sit through fething tutotials just so some halfwit doesn't have to think. Those tutorials take time and money away from making proper content.

Rapper acts like ****
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8461267.stm A member of the public texts in to a Radio 1 saying she thinks the chap above is 'repulsive' and the band are 'losers'. The next day she gets text messages from them telling her she will die! I thought this was funny since it just underlines how juvenile rap has become since what I stil regard as its golden inception days.

A question, i pose thee
How did we start talking about eating things? I'm starving after my dieting and I for one can't stand it.

I haven't had any dreams about my avatar in Dragon Age, but she is my desktop image. She's lovely.... But then I designed her that way.

A question, i pose thee
I certainly recall the assertion in Howe's IQ in Question that 'genetics experts' had run the notion of races out of town. That is, while they can and are called upon to do things like help the police to pick up on identifiers of what we would call race, the variation in significant expressed traits is pretty slim.

People in England, give me suggestions!
Talisker's certainly peaty. BUt frankly if you're going to go peaty I say go all the way - Ardbeg. However, given how sociable the gentleman is I would suggest any of the Balvenies. Plus I know the portwood Balvenie was on sale at Duty Free when I went through. It's mild and a little sweet with tonnes of other subtle flavours.

Standard tattoo logic is to have some awesome beast put on you, but since your record asserts that YOU are an awesome beast I insist you have ME tattooed on your arm.

Just saw Avatar
Don't listen to Krezack. I've been travelling all over. I've had all sorts of terrible brain swelling and flatulence inducing diseases. Bled internally once. Another time I threw up pure clear stomach acid. And that's leaving aside the monkey fighting and dog flailing. Go see it in the movies.

Which nerds are the most tragic?
I voted for that one, but more because it is the only one I don't understand. Hence it must be bad. My reason too.

Google tells the Chinese government to sit on it and rotate
Huh? Internet censorship in countries like China and Iran can easily be bypassed with VPN (Virtual Private Network) services which often cost less than $15 per month or even free (with Ads, of course). There are a number of American, Aussie and maybe Kiwi businesses specializing providing VPN to foreign individuals. They and their employees all earn a living from Internet censorship, same for IT persons on the ground in China or Iran who help users setting up the network and payment subscriptions. Really I see no harm done by Internet censorship in China, Iran or anywhere. Its like a government ran welfare for thousands of formerly jobless youth now employed as human monitors, plus a scholarship fund for IT students know their trade good enough to set up VPN for others. So your saying I will have a bouncing teenage cyberweasel following me around? I have a better idea for your future gulag of inter-wabbing - they can freaking build infrastructure in the third world. Roads.

HOLY FRAK! Haiti got hit with a 7.0 Quake!
If only there were some way those 100,000 dead could all be people who believe there is an Earth Mother watching over us. EDIT: I should say that I do feel sorry for Haiti, but given its history I was basically unable to feel any more sorry for it.

Sarah Palin joins Fox News
Taking a step backl, all this discussion has proven so far is that the US newsmedia is tribal like an array of witchdoctors.

Which nerds are the most tragic?
Don't oppress my people, man. Potter is terrible, but that doesn't mean nerd. Nerd to me means knowing what is good and what is bad, or at least havings ome sort of taste, rather than slavishly following trends.

You do realise that particular act isn't wrong because it's politically incorrect? It's unhygeinic.

What you did today
I want you to take a small wooden stick, and wrap it in copper wire. It won't help really, but at least you will know you are the kind of stone-mental fellah who would do that sort of thing just because I said so. Such a man need fear nothing at so innocuous an event as a hotel party. I mean they won't even be playing buzkashi.

Building the joke
The original is obviously 'people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones'. The other one came from a 'certain' rpg. Don't spoil it for people. I thought this might make a good alternative. Sluggo, PM me.
