The grammar is wrong, VE.
这对我来说是完全错的,
误 is superfluous.
地 is the wrong character and should be replaced with 的.
我会不顾一切的反对你.
Chinese corrected, me be Chinese.
Nice attempt though =)
mort. freehold needs you. AND your chinese skill!

I don't know what the rest of the country is doing wrong but my kids are pretty cool. Tiny T-Rex said "Thank you! Happy Halloween!" at every house without getting prompted and gave all his nerds to Crookshanks when he got home.
I don't have a tattoo.

Yours if literally translated goes to – One cannot too many good friends.
Also the Romanization intonation is wrong, like tái should be tài and duo has intonation of duō and you has intonation of yǒu.
I would do:
人不能有太多好友
Romanized form: rén bù néng yǒu tài duō háo yǒu
which translates to:
“One cannot have too many good friends”
Which is closer to what you’re looking for, no?
Also, you're nekkid. Cover up for goodness sake!
*Throws Freehold a towel*

It took me a looooooooooooooong time to get into The Office. The first half to three-quarters of S1 was just me going I FRACKING HATE MICHAEL WHY IS HE LIKE THAT HOW IS HE A MANAGER DWIGHT IS A FASCIST I HATE HIM TOO WHY IS HE LIKE THAT GO BACK TO YOUR BEAT FARM!!! By the end of S1 I had started occasionally chuckling at a joke.
Several of the characters are just outright awful people; the only thing that makes them comedic is their complete incompetence (Michael, Dwight, Nellie) or relative powerlessness (Angela). Mrs. Sunrise finds them somewhat relatable as they grow, but I still hate them after all these seasons because their emotional growth is the equivalent of a thoughtless 20-something from one year to the next if that. The humor is extremely tepid early on. If it weren't one of Mrs Sunrise's most favorite shows ever, and her promise to watch something of my choosing afterward, I wouldn't have made the long journey to actively enjoying the show. And if somebody asked me to recommend an office dramedy, I'd recommend either 20 Rock of Parks and Rec, as I think they're much easier to get into and much more consistently funny.
That said, I've grown to love The Office, especially since Andy is manager (and then gone and now back again). In fact I've started brain-farting around with a medieval-europe take on The Office. My pitch is: A sleepy old English towne sees misadventure when the new emotionally desperate Baron arrives to make a name for himself. Rampant laziness, incompetence, inbred lords, nepotism, rivalries, and romance ensues. Terrifying Catholic governess hates yet more severe Puritan minister. Hard-drinking sheriff holds his meade less well than he thinks he does. Widowed Friar scribbles treason on the Baron's door and blasphemy on the Church's, in a gallows-humor effort to join his wife in the afterlife. Etc.

We got roped into helping out with our church's Halloween carnival. Because there had been thunderstorms all day, and the church hadn't done it last year, and we had to do it inside the building rather than in the parking lot rather than next to the pumpkin patch the youth group is running, we figured we'd get a slow trickle of a few folks, but nothing much. We lost count of how many people we had. I know that they ran out of the free hot dogs and chips, and I ran out of candy twice, and I'm hoarse this morning because I was using my "Scottish pirate" voice all night long to run the game (flip doubloons and try to get them into abalone shells). Entirely with stuff from my house and pirate parties past, I built a desert island with a palm tree on it, and had the candy in an old wooden treasure chest. And I dressed up and had my sabre stuck in my belt. (one of these days, I need to get a proper frog for it.) So the children's program director told me point blank I was going to be on her steering committee for next year. Methodists love them some committees.
But not just the kids, a lot of parents as well were saying thank you. We had free food, games, and candy, and our neighborhood is not exactly swank. (Duh. We live there.) So, yeah, it was fun.
And Teensy Valeros killed it as the Easter Bunny, hopping around giving out his skull Easter eggs.

You know, five at a time just didn't sound very bold or captainy ,so I went with fifteen at a time.

We had no trick-or-treaters at Zelda's last night either. We would hear the occasional kids going to a house, but they wouldn't come to us. And we were outside. With candles lighting the way to us. And we were sitting next to a fire pit. With a big bowl of candy. We saw one set of kids across the street, but they wouldn't cross over to us. Sadness.
He said there's no funny scene in The Office:
the only thing i found remotely interesting in the office was the time where they were all singing. Other than that the show is awful. I want to punch every character save mindy kaling.

I tried to watch The Office when it first came out. I taped the first episode (yes, on VHS), twice fell asleep while trying to watch it, and then finally managed to stay awake but turned it off after 15 minutes because I couldn't stand it. Never gave it another shot. I think part of it is Steve Carell. I can't stand him. Same with Will Ferrell (as a lead, I like him in some of his supporting roles).
I like steve Carell in just about everything BUT the office. Loved 40 year old virgin.
I guess we had about ten, but considering up until two years ago we had two convicted child molesters on our cul de sac that's way more than I thought we'd get.

Aroundabouts my way, all the Superstorm Sandy babies are now old enough to go trick or treating, so I got rid of a bunch of candy.

I will get around to seeing that one some day...
I don't like the slap stickflicks that Ferrell usually gets cast in; I finally saw Elf years after the fact and have nothing good to say about it. I really like Stranger Than Fiction tho, it's a good story, my kind of humor, and shows off his acting chops.
My hatred for Will Ferrell is considerable.
I always wanted a lot of tattoos, but my ex wasn't a huge fan, and I never had a lot of money for it. When I got divorced, I was working at the Post Office and had a lot of expendable cash - until I started acting like a baller and blew most of it, then got myself in horrible debt because my ex used to handle money and I was an idiot with it and had to learn moderation the hard way.
I only had two tats before I got divorced: a really intricate celtic cross on my right inner forearm (I am teh x-tan and my family is from Ireland and Scotland), and a wedding ring tattoo with my ex's initials and mine. When I got divorced I decided to cover up the wedding ring with what would eventually become a full sleeve extending all the way to my hand. I started at the back of my left hand, and let me tell you something: getting your knuckles and the joints between them tattooed is so f!&#ing painful.
So my left hand is a knight's helmet. There's a western dragon on my left arm burning down a castle, and the plans are to connect it all with a book of the code of chivalry, some jousting knights, and a few other tropes for that scene. BTW if you're wondering, when you ink the back of your hand, your whole hand swells up and looks like a Mickey Mouse glove. You can't make a fist for almost a week, and you have to lotion it like crazy. When it's done it looks epic, but until then everyone thinks you're crazy.
My right hand is now a samurai's helmet, done by a better artist I met when I moved back to Fort Pierce. It's gorgeous. Seriously. The knight is sweet, but I will be paying my new guy to upgrade the knight to his style. He's also drawn the scene of an eastern dragon guarding a pagoda with a water theme, but I have yet to have it colored. Unfortunately, when I lost my job and left Florida, I didn't have the opportunity to finish it all. The plan is to throw the code of bushido on a scroll, the archetypical dueling samurai with the moonlight out like you'd see in Ruroni Kenshin or Ninja Gaiden or whatever, some mounted samurai archers, perhaps a kitsune and other eastern fantasy tropes. The problem is the celtic cross there is out of place, so I'm going to surround it with a border, separate it from the main, and mirror it on the left with something representing my mom's side of the family - unfortunately a lot of German symbols are linked with Nazis and I don't want that confusion when people look at me. Still need to think of that.
I also have my ancestor's name from whom my last name comes in anglo-saxon runes on my left pectoral. It's a cool story. I'm Scottish nobility, apparently, because my ancestor saved a king. He was given a title, a castle on the border of England, and a lot of land. My brother did some more research and found out one of his descendants, who is probably also our ancestor but this guy we're not sure of, used to challenge English generals to single combat, and he won somewhere between 8-12 duels before dying in one of them.
If that's not a great story, I don't know what is.
I'm doing a PbP of OPM because my friends I play with on Fantasy Grounds only ever are interested in Pathfinder, are incapable of gaming with theater of the mind, and frankly I think it's a great idea. I put this here to say preference is of course given to my FaWtL friends if any are interested.

You can't take the movie too seriously.
Alcohol helps. As does audience participation. Watching it alone is like watching battlefield earth alone.
I saw it at the midnight showing downtown with the General and her friends in high school, I was pretty lit up, definitely an experience everyone should have.
It's not a good movie, but it's a great experience.

See, that phrase just does not compute for me. For a good experience, I need a good movie. And being a musical doesn't help, too many musicals just feel like a bunch of precious yet random songs strung together by a lame plot.
