If you live in the U.S., you've probably heard of or ranted about yourself the fact that the United States has skyrocketing debt and is going broke. Even if you don't live in the U.S., chances are your nation is also running low on money.

What exactly do you think would happen if a country went "broke"? What the hell does that even mean?

Chasing Amy had gay people?

How long do Stickam kicks last, anyway? I finished my crossword puzzle and I refreshed but still nothing.

There's probably an answer to this somewhere on the Internet, but I feel like being obstreperous because I'm a little bothered by getting kicked for no reason.

Go out and rent every film with Robert Mitchum in it that you can find. Then have the best movie marathon ever.

Also, do a lot of cocaine.

I think I'd eat it.

I would like to get my TEFL or something in International Business and spend time in China or Thailand.

Also, AutoCAD FTW.

I once named a character Miller Reeves (of 1343 Canterbury Rd.) because I was feeling puckish.

Names should rarely, if ever, carry any hidden meaning. If Stanley Yelnats felt a bit contrived, it was. Strive for verisimilitude in whatever idiom your story is set; unless your character lives in a fantasy world where your name determines strictly who you are, which frankly isn't a bad idea for a story, it doesn't matter that much. If your character ends up saving the world, don't name him Salvador without a good explanation of why his parents named him that. That's the thing: if the audience is meant to get the significance of something, you'd damn well better give a good in-universe reason for it to be there.

That's not to say puns can't be fun. As I'm writing this, I thought of a great name for a Wall Street banker: Jean.

20 minutes ain't shit. i've delt with power outages that lasted for several hours.

That's nothing. Before they invented power it was like a billion year blackout.

What he said. Azores didn't have power until '80, I think. The American base on Terceira was electrified, barely. Lol, they didn't have TV, so the only thing they had were redacted newsreels from the week before on tapes. Made fifty bucks on Secretariat, a week after seeing him win at Belmont. :P

My Chinese friends used to freak because "now the rice won't cook!"

Good times

That joke isn't funny anymore. Stop it.

You're only saying that because you knew better than to click it. ;(

For the purposes of this forum, Politics includes the topics of Current Affairs, History, Religion, and any other major flame-bait.

I think that one you read was meant to be a parody, Johnny.

I'm curious... could someone produce a list of examples of the OP's pretension? I mean, he is being a bit aggressive, but if he really cares about this then I suppose that's understandable.

Is it that he used big words and called people with poor opinions morons? Because that's been my MO since like fifth grade.

And yes, this is deserving of a thread. A blog entry or review is for stating an opinion; a thread is for encouraging discussion. The OP's thread implies a call to discuss why people find great art in this series.

I for one don't. The series is repetitive, and it wasn't even all that original an idea to begin with. If someone is willing to produce a valid argument for it, I'd be happy to be read it. The fact that every other post in this thread is

a. You're biased / a jerk, therefore your opinion about it is no good (Argumentum ad hominem fallacy)
b. People like it, therefore it's good (Argumentum ad populum fallacy)
or c. Some people care about it a lot and deserve a good review, therefore it's good (Argumentum ad misericordiam fallacy)

which is annoying as hell. Can we please stop discussing and using as evidence things other than the series itself? Thank you

All in the past right?

No, king Carl Gustav, just last week. You don't read the newspaper, do you?

Your effing king Gustav killed my great great great great great great great great great great great great grandfather at Lutzen, you jackasses!

I'll never forget the first time I killed seven people on a poorly-built roller coaster...

I tore it down and built a memorial that I charged five bucks to get in. It didn't have bathrooms. >:D
