You Arabs, you kill me.

Please don't explode, it was just a figure of speech.

It is. And I'll admit it- I kinda am a Tom Cruise fan. I mean, I may not like him as a person too much, but I can't deny the guy really is a very, very good actorm whether it's serious dramatic work like A Few Good Men and Born on the 4th of July, or pants-on-head crazy comedy role in Tropic Thunder.

And I love Top Gun. I won't pretend I don't. It's fantastic. I didn't think I'd like it at all, but once I finally watched it- it's awesome.

You bear a striking resemblance to him.

So much so that looking at your avatar takes my breath away.

See what I did there; that was a double entendre, double your regular entendre at no extra charge.

Think of it as my free gift to you, friend.

One of my guests just asked me what we do to keep the "foreigners out of the inn".

I love this country but there seriously needs to me an amendment made so that I can legally kill people like that. :P

My mother took me out of ballet class when I was five. Not because the teacher raised the prices... but because the teacher said she did that to keep the foreigners out. So I'm not a ballet dancer. And I'm OK with it. :)

The soup nazi had a sign that says he has the right to refuse service to everybody. You should put one of those up and point to it whenever a guest pisses you off. "NO ROOM FOR YOU!" :D

Give your mom a hug for me.

Interesting that you say that, because I had the exact same experience, and wondered why the Da Vinci Code was so famous, when the other book was better. Or less bad. Whatever. It was fast and easy to read, with lots of action, and some symbols and hogwash. A book in a similar vein that was probably better, was The Historian.

I agree they belong in the Fiction section. People take them too serious because there was religious stuff. Kind of ironic, isn't it. If the religious folks hadn't kicked up such a fuss, the book would have sold a great deal less.

Do you still have nice calves?

And if she's single and under 50, give her one for me too.

Make it a special hug.

I myself was partial to [url=http://rs660.pbsrc.com/albums/uu326/megdays/Really%20Cool%20Stuff/1221304-2932-ga.jpg~c200]The Da Vinci Load[/url].

That's an easy one- because of the whole "Jesus had sex with Mary Magdalene and they had a kid" thing. The story in Angels and Demons has religious connotations too, but really mostly because of the setting rather than the central mystery, nothing that one could ask questions about in the real world. The "Jesus jr." thing is an fun thing to speculate about, if one likes this sort of thing, And for people who belive in Jesus, and his being a god, or a son of God, or whatever, this is either mindblowing or outrageous or both. And outrage basically means a free marketing campaign. It was a snowball effect. Once the book got enough traction to get noticed at all, it sparked controversy, that led to more popularity, and that to more controversy and so on. The actuall book, the story in it and quality of it pretty much didn't matter at that point whatsoever.

Nina Armagno, Air Force Major General [Oct 22, 2016]:
“Russia and China, by the year 2025, will be able to hold at risk every one of our satellites in any orbit. So if the United States and our allies are to deter adversaries from taking action against our interests, we must do it from a position of strength.”

Hillary Clinton, US president nominee [Aug 31, 2016]:
“As president, I will make it clear that the United States will treat cyberattacks just like any other attack. We will be ready with serious political, economic and military responses.”

I don't see why we can't live in peace with each other ;)

Finally got around to buying some of the Fallout4 DLC since it just went on sale, and figured I'd throw in a few mods and take another spin in the Commonwealth. I have to say, with a bunch of high texture mods, a few normalmap improvements, an increased settlement size limit, and a couple little tweaks here and there (I never did understand why you couldn't use your crafting skill to bulk up armor from a light to a heavy version, when you could slap together a jet pack or holographic targeting systems for your nuclear-fusion-powered exoskeleton personal tank), it's just as good as Fallout 3. Wandering the wasteland, shooting up raiders and enormous mutated shellfish, crawling through rubble and metro stations carrying a bag full of desk fans and cracked plates. It's good stuff. The writing bothered me on release, but for whatever reason, it's less noticeable this time around.

I've caved. I've finally downvoted some posts. Thanks for bringing real spam to the forums. Your attempts at making the thread you don't like unreadable are working, just hope its worth the non alt downvotes you're earning. Please post more retarded long posts and I'll happily downvote them now that I'm not refraining from downvoting anymore. Every time someone goes low, one must go lower to make the first one stop amiright?
