Casual references get you every time.

I have woken up with the acutely annoying nasal drip of yesterday transmogrified into a full-force summer cold. I have pain all over my body and I just took two Day Nurse to stave off the symptoms long enough for me to get to the chemist to buy some more. And eat.

I use Volvic in my kettle.

Yes, but they have to take attention away from the debilitating guilt they feel for having made so much money off the slave trade.

That is a known unknown: there are too many cats that have survived for it to be a viable weapon.

... Besides Dark Raven?

I like the Brazilian one. Wait ... what was the question?

... Because you like to play games on more than one platform at once.

(Arranged) marriages are still legal for (girls) aged fifteen in Sicily, with the parents' consent.

That is exactly what we've been led to believe, so it's good to have it independently confirmed. Tune in next time: same Bat Time, same Bat Channel ..!

The juxtaposition of these two comments was at once humorous and also quite disturbing.

So, you'd be pleased with a NOT well thought-out sequel? * can, floor; open; worms, everywhere *

It's okay if she tells you she's over 18. (Or at least that's what I head from Ed-D'Oh.)

Cruise ships can be a fantastic way to travel. Be aware that, to stave off boredom, generally food is provided in all forms and overabundances. (My mother goes on a cruise at least every year. Yes, she is nearly eighty, but she would out-powerwalk you and swims everyday: last year she went on a walking tour of Tuscany.) Anyway, be warned that most people are older on a ship; some people retire and cruise around the world. As for whether you'll like it, that depends on the ship, the culture of the crew and how much you are shelling out. Ships travel at night (there is little danger of seasickness out to sea, though November, if memory serves, is a stormy time in the Mediterranean: wasn't it late September when Xerxes's armada was dashed against the coast at Artemision?) and pull into port for the day, so you're best advised to plan your shoreleave to dash about and see everything. Personally, I'd travel the Greek Isles by yacht (they are readily hired, including pilots) and spend a week or two just sailing around. But I like sailing. I think it might be be the rainy season, too, in November.

After giving the experience of The Lord of the Rings trilogy (Special Extended Edition) to my friend, we have embarked on the (even more Hurculean investment, in time if nothing else) task of watching the Appendices. Just watched the From Book to Vision (over four hours), and next up will be the second (of the first film) From Vision to Reality. What I found (this time through) is that watching these is perhaps even more interesting than the films; long after the trilogy is regarded as one would look at Gone With the Wind, The Wizard of Oz or Ben Hur nowadays, these document the epic geekiness of Jackson and his remarkable achievements (the list of props, costumes, weapons, latex prosthetics and everything else that had to be invented for the films is just extraordinary).

The right monitor has a picture of of the desktop, which has two monitors; the right monitor has a picture of the desktop ... infinite regression!

Evian is pretty chalky, too; the main reason why I don't use it in my kettle.

Jumpman 3!

That's just after the introduction of the characters; I'd recommend re-watching it from the beginning as there is some (fifteen-twenty minutes or so) of good stuff.

If I can hear the voices in your head, does that make me crazy too? (Crazier than you, or less crazy?)

^^What he said.

A wooden Bender? clickie!

Laser beams from the eyes!

Yeah, it sounds like the PC (from the OC, if you like) wakes up .
