There is no "overkill." There is only "open fire" and "reload."Overkill is underrated.i could easily see you just pressing the "destroy everything" button while stifling a yawn...Kay.I do not have kind views regarding cyclists of the non-motorized variety, as many here know. So I'll refrain from contributing more directly to that conversation. It shan't end well if I did.LET US DO BATTLE ORTHOS!

And that's kind of what I mean. There is a limit to how far something can spread - The Princess Bride is a film that can more or less working "as intended" to a larger audience, and, thus, should be shown, because it would work. On the other hand, 'Holy Grail does... not always go over so well. Kind of similar to Mulan Rogue, really - another phenomenal film that feels like it should be a "must see" but functionally is not and cannot be.

I watched Mulan Rogue...wait! It's Moulin Rouge, Tac! Anyhow, I watched it just for Your Song.
I regret that musicals are just not my thing. I still like Ewin McGregor's rendition though. And Lady Marmalade. So fun!

OK. Just... wow.
So, you all know that:
(1) We've taken to going to various concerts: Muse, Fallout Boy, Sabaton, etc.
(2) We are in the enviable position that we can get VIP tickets for said shows (OK. We were in the pit for Sabaton. But that's the place to be during a metal concert.)
(3) I am an unabashed punk rock Taylor Swift fan. Yes, it's possible
So, Taylor Swift is coming to our area in May. Woo hoo?
The cheap seats start at $120. The mediocre seats are $350, which is top-tier VIP for any other band we've seen (and those seats included dinner, exclusive swag booths, exclusive swag, a private bathroom (unbelievably nice during a concert), and a lounge to hang around in during the openers). The good seats? $800-$1000. VIP seats? You'd better know someone.
Y'know what? I just don't need to see Taylor Swift all THAT much.
Wow... just... wow...

Made it to the school. Early release because the roads are becoming impassable due to peedicted blizzard hitting at predicted time and the school realizing oh s%** we should have cancelled today. >.<
Here’s hoping we make it home in one piece. It’s a long drive on icy roads.
please be careful. I need to mispell your name at least once.
Anyone who's into 5E and into developing things and/or giving feedback, I'd love getting some feedback! XD

LOL. Yeah. I think Fallout Boy was "only" $250, but being able to stand up, walk 100 feet to an usher, flash the VIP badge, and get straight to the clean, well-maintained bathroom just inside? Priceless! The meal and swag were secondary.
EDIT: So why doesn't VISA do ads like that? "Your own private bathroom at a concert? Priceless!"

I can watch the film for that scene alone.
Although Jim Broadbent's rendition of "Like a Virgin" is comedy gold.

The cereal conversation has reminded me how offended some of my close friends and family are that, when desirous of cereal and bereft of milk, I have on occasion used oil instead. I don't drown cereal in oil the way you do in milk, just enough to get it moist.
I regret nothing.

Bulls**t.
During the communist reign we had no cereals to speak of. We had to eat porridge, oatmeal or simple pasta-like noodles with milk.

i think this weighs heavily upon what type of cereal you use along with what oil.

Despite loving music I've been to exactly one concert in my life -- Arlo Guthrie, and some other dude, at the site of the famous Woodstock Festival -- and that was a gift. I've never felt justified in spending even $50 - $100 per ticket on a single night of entertainment. Now that I have a steady full-time job I can hypothetically imagine myself buying tickets for someone I really like...if they were to come to my neck of the world to do a show. Which would probably cost more along the lines of a Taylor Swift event.
But I think that my upbringing is with me permanently in this regard -- I'm never going to go looking for concerts, and will probably die being able to count my attendance on one hand.

Froot Loops and beer. Breakfast of champions. Just ask my friend. (Amazingly enough, one of the few non-deceased ones. I blame the diet.)
