  1. Georgia Guidestones demolished after planted explosive device damages it. Apparently there's a nutwing part of the local Republican party that has been advocating for the destruction of the Guidestones as being evil, satanic internationalism created by a "Luciferian cabal'.
  2. Cleaning out the storage area at work today, found a box of carbon paper for a typewriter. No sign of the typewriter itself...yet.
  3. I thought the information might be of interest. Similarly, I thought the story of the name change /rip-off accusation aspect of two similar shows, The Returned and Resurrection was also worth noting and mentioned it back at the time: So if nothing else, I'm consistent.
  4. It can make me more interested to know that something began life as something other than something that came in the wake of something else. Or at least less likely to dismiss it as 'just another clone'. Clearly your mileage varies. EDIT: In other news NBC picks up MAGNUM PI for 2 more seasons of 10 episodes each, with options for more seasons
  5. I thought it worth pointing out. The adaption may/may not be good, but I enjoyed the comic.
  6. The comic PAPER GIRLS started a year before Stranger Things.
  7. New thread:
  8. Albatross. Conversation went something like this: "If you were an animal, what kind of animal would you be?" *long awkward pause* "I...I cant think of an animal. My mind is blank." "Take your time." *even longer, more awkward pause* "...uh...albatross." "Beacause they can fly for hours with no land to rest on?" *awkward pause* "Because I thought of Coleridge's Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner and its literally the only animal I can think of but I didn't want to say it because the albatross doesn't have a positive connotation in the story." *more awkward silence* EDIT: and before it's asked, yes I couldn't remember the word dog or cat or parakeet or any common house pet.
  9. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation would like to have a word....
  10. I was once asked in an interview what kind of animal I saw myself as. That didn't go well. If its Tuesday, Guard Dog Must Be In British Columbia* *with apologies to Belgium.
  11. Disagree. It wasn't personal time. Just because a game is ended doesn't mean the employee's obligation to their employer, in this case, the state has ended. Nor does it mean that the state owned facility is suddenly not state owned. Further as an authority figure, there are probably many who feel unable to refuse to participate when it became a public gathering since he chose to offer his prayer not in private, but in public in the state owned facility.
  12. Click-bait headline; Genis-Vell isn't replacing Carol Danvers in the comic.
  13. Google translate -
  14. It's based on Tony Hillerman's novels.
  15. Massimo Morante, Goblin guitarist, founder
  16. Current Avatar - Christine McIntyre

  17. Had you taken any cold medicine with a decongestant? Pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, phenylephrine, naphazoline and oxymetazoline are all supposed to raise blood pressure. Might also be a situational aspect to it as well (ie stress from going to the doctor and being sick). Making sure you're not dehydrated can also help with BP, as I understand it. Also
  18. Heheh, I apparently have much to look forward to (for good or ill)...
