Eyeware or drinkware?Spleencramps!
I'm gonna get a shower, and then we're gonna go glasses shopping and get some lunch.
Have a good day, everyone.
Eyewear. I have had the same pair of glasses for almost 10 years. Luckily my prescription has barely changed...other than knowing I'll need to wear bifocals soon. *sigh*
Everything. It made Blair Witch seem great.Ok...I know I am bit behind...but just saw Paranormal Activity....I want hour and a half back. >:\Really? Everyone raves about it. I've wanted to see it... but I think it is going to go the way of Blair Witch and remain unseen by me. What was bad about it?From what I've heard, you either love it or hate it. Either way, Rifftrax makes everything more fun.
(Honestly, I just wanted to post that link.)
Blair Witch didn't live up to the hype. Paranormal Activity was boring and made me glad about one of the lead's fate, because he was a douchebag throughout the movie.
Yes. RiffTrax makes everything better. Especially The Happening.
I coulda sworn I saw a post by Solnes in here.
Anyway, it wasn't while dancing. It was at work. :S
Walking Dead starts in one hour!
In the meantime, I've got to get a little more writing done.
I'll be back in a bit. :)

Rushes over to YouTube in search of "The Best of RiffTrax" for The Happening...
I miss MST3K so much.

Or more accurately DND 4e + pathfinder rpgSucks to be 4ed. D&D unless your in Sydney, Australia. Will WotC realize it was wrong to do a fourth edition before or after the sales bottom out?
Ha. Funny; I’m in Sydney, I don’t know anyone here who is playing 4e (I’m sure there’s plenty about, I just haven’t come across them), but plenty who play 3.5 or Pathfinder. The FLGS stocks and presumably sells a lot of 4e stuff, but as far as I know the only RPG played in-store currently is PFS.
(But no edition wars - from all I her 4e is a good game)
I wanna play 4e. Nowhere to play. No D&D China sucks.

heh....we sell the hell out of the fleshlights...Certainly explains a lot about where we're headed...
Edit: Huh... I'm sorry, I don't think I can claim nekkidness with this. Just too creepy for me. ;)
Heh. Kevin Smith did a bit about them in his recent talking / standup show in Sydney. Apparently he got sent a lot of free / promotional merchandise when doing Zac and Miri Make A Porno, including some of said devices. His first thought was “why would I ever want to stick my **** into that?” ... then he tried it, after which his approach was “OMG, why would I ever not want to stick my **** into that?”

Happy Halloween to those who celebrate it.
Halloween has never really been much of a big thing here in Australia, but over the past few years it has been catching on ([cynicism]commercialisation[/cynicism]). Went to my first ever Halloween party on the weekend, and took the son Trick or Treating, it was quite fun.

Dude, f$+$.
F+@$ that commercialism s$*$.
Halloween is awesome.
It's cheap as you want it to be.
I wish you was on facebook; I could show you my cheap ass executioner outfit I made out of an old black tee shirt with holes poked in it for eyes. People I didn't know were taking my picture cos "I was actually scary."
Ten dollar bag o candy, a pumpkin, and you're rolling.

Was that "GAAAAAAAHHHHHH. NOOOOOOO!" scary, or "Whoa, that dude's scary, let's go stand on the other side of the street."?

I didn't pay any money for that either. At the time, money was for essentials i.e. beer.
Yah that's pretty damn good for a few bucks. (edit: for free)

In theory I am on Facebook ... maybe I should bite the bullet and actually log on for the first time in a year and a half and respond to some of those friend requests, get over this odd irrational hatred I have for that site.
I’d like to see your costume dude, guess I will need to get on Facebook.
I coulda had a real axe, but then I'd get hassled by th' man.

The reason for my cynicism is that the reason Halloween seems to be catching on here is not for the joy of kids and adults alike being able to dress up, and go to parties and carve pumpkins and eat candy and stuff ... but so that stores have another ‘holiday’ to cash in on. I mean, for the gods’ sake, we had a big retailer of whitegoods and electrical goods over here doing a ‘Halloween Sale’ ... I mean, why? Nobody thinks ‘Halloween, I know, I’ll buy a fridge!’
At Isaac’s childcare they did a Halloween day which was cool, all the kids got dressed up ... and as far as I could see, he was the only kid who had a homemade costume thrown together from bits and pieces around the house, rather than wearing an expensive looking store-bought costume (and/or advertising the latest kids cartoon franchises).
The native / local pumpkins we have here are stumpy, ‘squashed’ looking, have green not orange skin, and are as hard as rock – you would need a jackhammer to carve them. But rather than doing as (I hear) the Irish do, and carve turnips, potatoes and other locally available vegetables, people go and buy big, round, orange American style pumpkins bought at exorbitant prices to carve Jack-o-lanterns.
Anyway, despite that, like I said, I did have fun, as did the kid!

All we have here in China are the crappy little pumpkins. You just need a seriously sharp knife.

Yeah, saw it. Very cool.
You just happen to have an executioner hood about the house? ;-)
The people who hosted the Halloween party we went to were telling us that last year, one of their friends turned up in a hockey mask and carrying a REAL chainsaw. Freaked the kids out bigtime, they cried and wouldn't come out of their room.

That sucks; I don't know how they could skank out my favorite holiday.
It bums me out; it's one of the few things about our culture that doesn't actually suck. Well, I guess it's more Irish, but I think the U.S.A. goes all balls for it more than any place else...I could be wrong.

I think he was talking about actual countries.... Well, I guess it's more Irish, but I think the U.S.A. goes all balls for it more than any place else...I could be wrong.Canadians the same.
All I meant in mentioning the Irish was that I heard from an Irish friend that they (in Ireland) traditionally carve turnips and potatoes rather than pumpkins as the local pumpkins are not really suitable.

You can cast cure after that blistering attack, right? :PI think he was talking about actual countries.... Well, I guess it's more Irish, but I think the U.S.A. goes all balls for it more than any place else...I could be wrong.Canadians the same.
I thought making lighthearted jabs at Canada was in the US Constitution...
I like turnips.
I'm gonna feature the turnip in my Kingmaker coat of arms.
It just seemed like a weird ass thing for him to tweak on, so I went with it....
Oh wait it was radishes.
Then I found this "night of the radishes" in Oaxaca in Mexico; they carve up all these little folk art scenes with radishes.....I think Aleph's gonna get that going in Kingmaker......
I've heard good things. I hope they show it here.The Walking Dead was good teevee, even though I knew a lot of what was coming from reading the comic series.
I've got to imagine they will.

Cool pumpkins....adorable kid! What a great pic. :D
Weird. I found her post just after I made my post.
I was hidin'. ;P
Great pictures, Kruelaid!
Especially that one of your oldest child in the executioner's costume. :)
LOL
