That's the sheer craziness of spam at work.

You can also marinade it in tabasco and serve it in a bun with a fried egg, which is an awesome hangover cure. Good point.

I like it. Although I always liked that Windows classic theme that was pumpkin and something, and the one that was maple and something. The colours made me happy and, temporarily, StOppEd ThE VoICes TellINg ME to dO BAd THingS. Ahem.

You've done enough, man, for God's sake. Walk away from the Fisk. Just walk away. FFS the man has an internet trend based on de-bunking poorly-sourced arguments named after him.

Hello. This thread is about spam. Not the email trying to sell you fake viagra, but the tasty tinned meat product. Read the article and share your thoughts. Personally, I like to thinly slice it and fry it with garlic and chilli. Yum.

I don't know if it was prolonged exposure to beer and red wine, but my very lovely Saitek keyboard died recently. My friend in the IT world swears by very cheap keyboards, so I have a

Kudos to the actor who plays Joffrey because I want to retch every time the vile little **** appears on-screen. Have hots for his mum.

I go Alienware, but then again I am agreeably well-off.

It also alludes to the astonishing fact that there are a helluva lot of people in Asia.

Remember, he's usually on mind-altering substances and posted during a big downer. Tomorrow it will look hot pink and acid green again.

You could have edited the whole post, right?

Srsly, they don't need our help.

Wait for it... Ladies and gentlemen, I rest my case.

I'd like to challenge the notion that games are a 'waste of time' and I'm certainly not slamming MMO players. Anything that you genuinely enjoy can't really be a waste of time. The idea that everything you do should be in some way educational or enervating is bunk. Some of the nicest people I know are slacker - gamer types, most of whom can and do very well at whatever they put their minds to. Personally I find the idea of paying a hundred pounds to watch a soccer match an oafish decision to make. That's a genuine waste of time IMO.

Krezack, quit posting after you've been at that bong. The American electorate, save for the small Volvo-driving elite clustered on each coast, do not much care about what the French or the British think about them. When there home is in negative equity and they've been laid of at work... that's the stuff of elections. Obama is a skilled Orator who had the cunning super-ability of not being in the same party as George Bush. Politics is cyclical. The GoP will eventually absorb the politically realistic rump of the Tea Party and rebuild. But not yet. Let Obama ride out this economic nightmare, why win now? 2012 is Obama's. The GoP field for presidential candidates reflects this.

I love the way magic is presented in this series, the scene in the tent with the horse was funny and spooky at the same time. As for Mr. Dinklage, if he doesn't win a brace of awards for his performance as Tyrion then I'll get all huffy and upset.

Wii is genius. We're gamers so we're not meant to get it. In much the same way a Prius us a car for folks who don't like, or know, anything about cars... a Wii is a computer game for people who don't like, or know, anything about computer games. DISCLAIMER - I spent two hours playing Donkey Kong with my son yesterday and almost enjoyed it.

OTOH I got utterly addicted to Company of Heroes online. Like a junkie. I spent real money on it and everything.

Your backlog is pitiful at the side of my own. I would wager a huge amount of money on it. If I had a black cat, you'd have a panther called Midnight

I tried Rift. It was fun for a week then it was... meh. Grinding / running about / grinding. I cancelled the subscription. MMOs aren't my cup of tea and, a bit like sports sims and bioware games, their appeal eludes me.

Centurion I think this was meant to be a cross between Gladiator and Apocalypto. Dominic West tries to out-do Brian Blessed in the bellowing stakes, there's a female Pictish hunter who looks like a super-model and lots of gory fighting scenes. And if it was actually filmed in Scotland I'd like to know where. Not bad as a Saturday night WTF is on TV type deal.

Bwahahahahhaaaaaa

But the British Empire was superior.

I don't consider myself European in any meaningful political sense. The idea that there is a cultural European identity is nuts, ask folks in the Balkans or Germany. I don't consider myself particularly special. You've got a bug up your arse about my country, that's clear. And I couldn't care less about that either.

The US/UK way of dealing with problems. And they scratch their heads asking why it ain't working. Because the current situation is working a treat, ain't it? We could go the European way, which is set up an embassy, fly around in Learjets, refuse to deploy militarily, waste billions of Euros in aid and deny basic free trade to third world countries to satisfy a bunch of French farmers. Then wonder why that ain't working.
