I think that a fair proportion of people who teach originally wanted to be the Robin Williams character in Dead Poets Society.

If that were true, I'm not sure if I'd have hated the education system less or more. And it'd be fair to say if Robin had taught in my secondary school he'd have left a broken man. Unless he left a broken man at the end of that film too? (It's perhaps only secondary to Carmen Jones and Dante's Peak in tedium and visceral annoyance, for me, neither of which I've ever managed to sit through either.)

(Imagine if it was called Dead Pets Society. That would be a horrible movie.)

That band already have a large, dedicated, misguided fanbase.

Whatever happened to that great movie plot, where a morally ambiguous male lead (classic example = Bogey) refuses to get involved, only to end up redeeming himself by risking/losing everything to save the day?

Synchronity is formed by the overlapping of two or more systems in a meaningful way (the system of a person's thoughts producing the idea of a friend they haven't thought about in a long time right before an airline's seating system places them next to each other on an 18 hour flight). These kind of events require that the systems allow this overlap, but much of their impact comes from the apparent unlikelihood of it actually happening. More chaotic systems offer a greater range of total outcomes while having each appear less likely. Chaotic systems are therefore more indicative of general trends within the universe, drawing a tarot card is a more reliable from of divinitation than rolling a dice or flipping a coin, and a system of symbolic representation using a computer's capability to produce vast strings of random numbers could be scarily precise.

Does Alex Rodriguez consult his PR guru before everything he does?

That's Raven! Right?
He was in WWE for a bit. I remember him hitting Kane in the head with a chair. More than once.

Jack Denfeld

08:53 / 26.05.06

They wasted him in the wwf/wwe. They made him hardcore champ like56 times, when he shoulda been given intercontinental and world title pushes.

Jake, Knight Of Kennett Square

09:02 / 26.05.06

Everyone was Hardcore Champ 56 times in that era!

I agree that he was snubbed, but that was when they still had Stone Cold and the Rock, right? They clearly didn't need him to headline, as they had those two, plus Triple H, Undertaker, Angle, Benoit, etc...

They definitely need him now, though, because it's clear that Triple H and 'Taker can't cut it as the main attractions. Randy Orton? Batista? John Cena? I've been a wrasslin' fan since I was small, and I can't bring myself to watch the shit they put on TV every week.

If WWE could snag guys like Raven back, along with AJ Styles (he's fucking great) and a couple other good NWA wrestlers, I might have reason to watch.

Am I in Bizarro World where TNA has become more watchable than WWE? Seems that way.

This is horribly off-topic. Do we need a professional wrestling thread?

There have been a pair of pigeons hanging out in my garden together for almost a year now. I had assumed that they were together, in a monogamous sort of a way, but today there are three, so perhaps I am going to have to adjust my ideas about these pigeons a little.

*thinks* Someone really should do a Thierry/Robert slash comic..... a properly swoony-romantic Thierry/Robert slash comic would probably sell about a million bazillion copies every month....

20:08 / 30.05.06

why does a hangover call for greasy indulgent food? Is it to carry the sense of over indulgence? Is it because only grease and carbs can fight the post booze evil?

I know why a lager is the natural enemy of a vindaloo, but why greasy eggs for booze?

Oh. That's Why!

Razor manufacturers: simply cut out the next ten years of amazing developments in the field of shaving by attaching EIGHT(!!) blades to your next product.

Ultimately I want a one-stroke jobby, that does it all in two seconds; I imagine this will require 26 or so blades. This is the zenith to which you all aspire.

Wait...that Raven guy was wearing a Death shirt! I have that shirt...

I don't know how I feel about that.

Why does my straight razor not close all the way? It's a deadly piece of razor sharp steel, isn't it supposed to close? Sort of defeats the point of a folding razor.

"No one should be made to work on a 4 gigabyte Photoshop file.

YES! YES! OH GOOD GOD YES!

omi, um could you post a pic/link to the snackchickens? Please?

Ah yes. I'm all confused.

Okay, so it's not a snackchicken, but I was hungry when I posted that. Two more behind the treebits.

What if you could move voluntarily in time the way you do in space, instead of always going forward at a steady pace? Slow down. Hurry up. Go backwards. Stop...

00:34 / 12.06.06

what if when you die, you go a to a massive boardroom, and God comes in, and he looks just like Sir Alan Sugar, and he sits down and stares at you and says "What. The hell. Were you doin' down there?!"

"You're a LIGHTWEIGHT!"

"You had flashes of genius, but you're too much of a liability for me. waggling naughty finger- you're fired!'

I don't really think God would be like that. I actually think s/he's magnificent. the thought amused me though...

(note for US/other readers- Sir Alan Sugar is the head of the Amstrad corporation, and the belligerent boss on the UK version of The Apprentice)
