ManifestedISO

I am having a stout, a 13% ABV, aged in bourbon barrel Stone stout to remind me political forum threads are stupid and pointless.

I forgot to mention the funniest/most arousing thing I've seen on a news broadcast ... the local NBC station here, NBC7 San Diego, has the lovely Dagmar Midcap (who plays hockey and rides a Ducati ... I know!) is such a competent and capable on-air personality ... somehow, part of her mic fell down inside her dress on live TV, and like a champion, she pulls the breast-line hem open, looks down into her boobies for the mic ... all while continuing to speak on-camera about the eight-day forecast. She didn't miss a beat, and ended up looking down inside her chest twice ... god I love her so much. The anchors were cracking up and one of them says, "I don't know why anyone watches any of our competitors ... we are the best!"

My friend's wife is from Goiania, in Brasil ... she is the best maker of food ever in all the world.

Hands down the best episode of Almost Human. Humanoid robots built for a physical and emotional relationship ... what's not to love. Except if they were real, the human race would falter with a plummeting birth rate.

Well if it came down to either shutting down or selling out, I would hope everyone keeps their job even if it means they become entity-owned.

Haha, pseudo intellectualism. That's why half of us are here, to sound smart and make people think we know what we're talking about. And for Likes. Happy Women's Day, Lara Croft, you're my one true heroine.

My buddy just gave me this to read. Steve is one of our TV announcers for the F1 season, and I love his booth manner, so this should be a good one.

Racism ... hatred of government ... they're the same thing--so long as people make an issue out of, it will always be an issue. I cannot understand promoting moving on from racism while actively disparaging government. Move away from labeling historic and present-day American leaders as the worst blight humanity has ever known, it just makes people want to ignore the shouting and take a nap. Which is why you think everyone is "asleep" when it comes to self-governance ... we're not dolts, we just don't want you spitting in our face. We would all be speaking a different language if it weren't for FDR, and our national government, so let it go and move on.

What wrong did Calvin Coolidge do? Coolidge gets a bad rap when it comes to the Great Depression, but he did stabilize the office after a tumultuous Harding administration. I thought it was Hoover who got the Depression rap ... "Hoover-villes" of newly homeless and what-not. Anyway, I appreciate the cool water you've thrown on the hot irony in this thread.

I'd say the Trek universe shines as an operette, and less as the long opera. Whatever mysterious quality good writing brings to serialized story-telling is apparently impossible to remaster for length. The movie, Into Darkness copied the movie, Wrath of Khan because everyone liked Ricardo Montalban, but it was because his character was from the original TV series, and fans were already invested. Since he was completely rebooting, I wish Abrams had gone for an original story of exploration and character instead of aiming for the Khan jugular immediately after the origin story. What a bloody waste of talent to stick Cumberbatch in a role that should never have been reprised.

Versailles wasn't built in a day, and I agree that brash hubris could make for an interesting character in Vivienne, but I'm now less inclined to accept a romance challenge. An inquisitive, humble farmer's daughter with no world-bending aspirations sounds more enjoyable.

Don't forget, Sunday, new Cosmos!! There is some TV worth watching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBTd9--9VMI

Oh lord, Flavio Briatore's nipples cannot be unseen. At least they're sort of unimposing.

Whew, okay, reviews are in. The grape is an animal disguised as a froo-froo pretender. Indeed wine seems to be parable with everything from an entire bag of Doritos, to Snickers Ice Cream Bars. This fruity product of Chile has a great finish and never intrudes. Overall I'm delighted, actually. Smooth, manageable buzz with less than a quarter the normal trips to relieve one's self. Can't explain that part, at all. 8/10 Will Drunk Again

Oh wow, I was super-unhappy with every single post until you brought up Kevin Flynn. Even my User name is the isomorphic algorithms from Legacy. And don't even start with me about the efficacy or value of Legacy ... because two words always render any argument invalid ... Bruce Boxleitner.

I'm never getting one. I frickin' check every day, sometimes three times a day, it could only have been "available" for a ten hour period or less, probably less than a single hour. Stupid army-building collectors, I just want two of them, one to play with, one to keep MIB.

The eyes. Does she come with every purchase of an R8 V10, or what's with the Audi podium event. Why am I even looking behind that face.

I don't think wine goes with anything, but someone gave me this bottle of Chilean sauvignon blanc as a gratuity, so ... now I'm obligated. Hopefully a white wine in wintertime isn't the same as wearing white pants after Labor Day. Okay, I'm gonna try it.

Seagulls look cool out over the ocean, swerving, swooping, rarely pooping. But then they flock to lightpoles in parking lots right above my black car and poop with abandon. A fitting state bird for Utah, I say.

Because metric-style dateline symmetry is confusing in its orderliness, I think. We prefer to know first which season one is referring to, rather than the day, because all our days are numbered.

I think that's an F-22 F-22 Raptor. I used to think I was hyper-vigilant, keenly aware, observant. Now, I just watch episodes of Jeopardy I've already seen to feel smart.

God Frostbite 3 can render wet waterfalls, individually-swaying trees with fluffy foliage, true-to-life light rays through smoke particles, glint off of stonework ... unreal. Wait, not Unreal. Can't imagine the urban high-rise setting in Mirror's Edge 2 with this engine, dudeohmygod.

Watched the director's commentary for Skyfall. Impeccably well-spoken, is Sam Mendes, with an equally keen eye for cinema, although he offered no explanation or apology for, nor even the slightest mention of why Severine was killed so abruptly. I'd been fully invested in her rescue since the character's introduction, and then BAM. I'm assuming it was Ian Fleming's fault, but it remains the one dark disappointment in the film.

Oh, hmm, there will be DirectX 12 after all. Will it be James Bond, or Johnny English ... only GDC will tell, in two-ish weeks time.

End Of Line.
