Being from New Orleans, a city with a rich history of excellent cuisine, I enjoy good food and have several favorites. So, what are people's favorites? Home made or restaurant, it doesn't matter. Red Beans & Rice (a traditional Monday dish) is my absolute favorite meal in the entire universe. A good stew is always a pleasure. There was a restaurant back home called Bozo's that had some of the best Chicken and Andouille Sausage gumbo I've ever had the privilege to eat. I'm a sucker for good Kung Pao Chicken. And, of course, a discussion of food would not be complete without a mention of boiled crawfish. Several members of the same alien race as E.T. make an appearance in the Galactic Senate in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Rowlf the Dog was actually one of the first Muppets ever to appear on TV. Created in 1962, he first appeared in commercials for Purina Dog food, then went on the serve as sidekick to the title character on The Jimmy Dean show. I'd read before that the story would likely be based on Warren Ellis' Extremis storyline, with people speculating that Mandarin would be the villain. However.... Ben Kingsley will be the Iron Man 3 baddie—but as who? I love Ben Kingsley, and think he's a terrific actor, so this fills me with some hope. I think he does villain very well. I also think he plays smart, scientist type well. All in all, an interesting move. Figured I'd start a thread on cars. Here's an article about a new car that folds up like a stroller. Here's an interesting article from the SyFy website. Although, after a quick scan of the comments section, it seems that he missed some. Still, very interesting. Especially the bit about a copy of Fahrenheit 451 being bound in Asbestos. From Wikipedia: Act of Valor is an upcoming 2012 American war film directed by Mike McCoy and Scott Waugh, and written by Kurt Johnstad. It stars Alex Veadov, Rosalyn Sanchez, Nestor Serrano, Emilio Rivera and actual active duty U.S. Navy SEALs. The film is scheduled to be released on February 24, 2012. As a big supporter of our military, I find this movie to be very interesting. It may look like a friendly and peaceful suburban neighborhood right off the Pomona Freeway in Rowland Heights, California, but don't let the innocent look fool you. That place is home to some of the most dastardly supervillains bent on world domination on the planet. Beware! They must be stopped!!! Dear Paizo Customer Service folk, Greetings from the Land of the Rising Sun. I just noticed that my subject order for the Tome of Horrors Complete moved from Pending Orders to Order History. When I click on the order number link it says it shipped via standard postal delivery, but there is no date for when it shipped. Do you have a date as to when it shipped? I'm out of the country at the moment and want to be sure to tell the missus when to expect the package. Thanks, and Sayonara. Constitution Day (or Citizenship Day) is an American federal observance that recognizes the adoption of the United States Constitution and those who have become U.S. citizens. It is observed on September 17, the day the U.S. Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution in 1787. So, happy National Constitution Day - one of the greatest political documents of all time, that helped shape one of the greatest countries of all time. And a big congrats to all those wonderful people who have become U.S. citizens, thereby making this country even more awesome than it already was! And if you are doing so today, then DOUBLE AWESOME!!! Just knowing I could wake up to such a terrifying sight scares the bejeesus out of me. I never thought I'd feel sorry for Nick Cage. I've got a fantastic wife and an awesome little boy. I've got a cool job. Beer! I live in what is, for me, the greatest country on the face of the Earth! My 25+ years of comic book love has been paying off in spades these last few years, with some awesome comic book inspired movies! I have an awesome hobby that led me to this place and a metric crap ton of cool people to be friends with*. *Note - Spoiler:
Does not inlcude evil pony lawyers. Oh Great and Powerful PMG! I've noticed a weird little Focus glitch lately. I'll Focus, but some of the troll threads I'm trying to do away with still show up. I hit the little button to "remove a dot and stop tracking posts in this thread", but it'll still show up. So then I sign out, sign back in, and Focus again, and this time it's gone. No big problem, but I thought I'd let you know, cuz that's how I roll. It's time to revive my forgotten responsibility and once more begin bringing you the glory of Flagons & Dragons - the podcast about gaming and beer. The podcast was nominated for an Ennie! Woot! Congrats to Carl for starting it all, and to him and the other guys for keeping things going and making things interesting. And, here's a little announcement concerning F&D's upcoming first anniversary. Come one. Come all. Enjoy some talk about gaming....and sometimes beer! or vice versa - Sebastian, I accept the belief that you're a minion of evil slowly working his will upon us all in order to drag us kicking and screaming into the pit. You do it with such finesse and style, we're enjoying the ride. - I accept the belief that Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. - I accept the belief that I'm not really a zombie, but I am willing to learn! - I accept the belief that Paizo made developed a kick ass game and an awesome campaign setting. - I accept the belief that one day the world will bow down before the awesome might of the PMG. ALL HAIL OUR DIGITAL OVERLORD. For those of us with children (you can tell by the vacant stares, occasional facial twitches, and periodic babbling/hysterical laughter): Let us share the wisdom of things needed/steps to be taken/pearls of wisdom in prepping to start a family/welcome a child into your home. My first things needed - the Diaper Genie is your friend. My first step to be taken - make a list. My first pearl of wisdom - poopy diapers aren't always that bad, but you might never look at mustard the same way again.
