I am fine. Darth Launch is in no way an Alien life form. Especially not a Grey.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

I guess if I lived in the UK I could "go on the dole," eh?

 

God, I love that phrase for some reason.

Red, red wine?

"Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque

"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)

It was actually a coded polemic, subtitled: "communist whine" ...

one of New Zealand's biggest "cities", but it's still relatively small

The country of New Zealand seems a beautiful place from the LOTR movies.

Actually, I could watch those films just for the scenery.

Except the scenery contains loads of ferns ... whcih aren't indigenous to the supposed geography of Middle Earth.

Isn't Middle Earth originally based on the European Continent?

 

Anyway, New Zealand is probably the official Middle Earth now after Peter Jackson's 11-Oscar-commercial.

Tolkien wrote it in the interregnum between 1918 (where he fought in the trenches, hence the reference to the battlefield bog) and 1945, so yes, it does reflect his personal take on the World Wars. Hence his very downbeat take on "humanity" (as expressed in the characters and races of M.E.), such as the bit at the end of Return of the King, where Saruman takes over the Shire.

 

 

NZ is a nice place.

 

 

 

Pity about all the Kiwis living there.

I am in graduate school here in Phoenix but Orlando, Fl. is where I hail home. I am originally from NYC, however.

How is hot and dry Phoenix comparing to Orlando? I lived in Kissimme, FL for a while, hated the mosquitos. :- They enjoyed kissing me way too much.

Hot, hazy and humid pretty much describes summers in my hometown 80% of the time. That, and the fact that we get clouds so freakin often. I was in Orlando last year, and even that didn't seem that bad compared to our summers. Of the four seasons we get here, summer is probably my least favorite. As for what my hometown is, just look at my info. :-

Isn't Pittsburgh a famous steel town? I bet pollution is pretty bad there, no?

Anyhoo, people should move to New Zealand. :- 'Tis a nice country.

Do you pronounce it properly?

 

Let me help you:

 

Pits-bur-RA :-

Truth be told, we don't produce much steel anymore. We used to produce more steel as a city then entire countries did. The steel industry is something we used to be strong in, but aren't really anymore. As for pollution, I live in the outskirts of the city, so it's not very polluted. And we're actually a lot less polluted then we used to be. :- But one thing I do love about it is the trees. We have a ton of trees. The hills I could sometimes do without, though.

 

Go Steelers!!!

 

@Metadigital: No, it's pronounced with a 'G' at the end. Are you joking? If so, I don't get it. My primitive brain does not comprehend your attempt at humor.

Don't mind Meta, his brain was damaged in a chemical explosion.

 

It is pronounced Pits-burg.

So, um. You spell it "Pittsberg" to cope with that pronunciation? :huh:"

- When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

I spell it Pittsburgh.

Honestly, what's the big deal? It's pronounced Pits-burg. I should know because I live there. That is the truth. :huh:

Because it's pronounced Pitts-bur-RA.

 

Like Edinburgh.

That's not how it's pronounced. Or maybe you can tell that to the millions of people who pronounce it that way. It's pronounced Pits-burg over here. Gettysburg is pronounced Getis-burg. Harrisburgh is pronounced haris-burg. That is how we in the U.S. pronounce it. People in different countries prounce things different ways, even if they're speaking the same language.

 

That is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. :D

Well you're no fun. You Amerikans can't pronounce English correctly. You should call it "American", except pretty soon the indigenous language of the US will be the same as Southern America, namely Spanish (and some Portuguese).
