Speaking of spy movies. True Lies is awesome and deserved a sequel. -- nm - Bacon May 11, 14:39 6

One of the problems with the economy and education in the south (at least in NC) is the level of corruption in local government. We started the - sycor May 11, 14:32 3
- The racism doesn't help much either. If you are a minority you are given second class education status. Oh, not openly but subtly -- nm - Bacon May 11, 14:35 1
  - We see that all the time with native kids up here. You aren't expected to do much with your life so you aren't expeceted to do much with your life. - Name Withheld By Request May 11, 14:37
- Yup, we had the same issue with the lottery. -- nm - David May 11, 14:34
Hey, ST. I'm in a funk today. Do you have anything funny to share? - kelly May 11, 14:26 13
- Mother's Day Ad. -- (link) - jnine May 11, 14:53 1
  - Or this one. -- (link) - jnine May 11, 15:00 [youtube]
- I have a total cure for The Funk. Road Trip To Bacon's House!!! -- nm - Bacon May 11, 14:47 3
  - Unless you live in Rhode Island, this will not work. - kelly May 11, 14:53 2
    - Isn't that near New Jersey? -- nm - Bacon May 11, 14:56 1
      - Absolutely! -- nm - kelly May 11, 14:59

So the people we bought our house from were hardcore Catholics (had the house blessed, St. somebody medallions in the windowsills, etc) - Reagen May 11, 14:24 10
- That's not ironic. - Dr.Vermin, slacktivist May 11, 14:28 3
  - There -- nm - jnine May 11, 14:54 1
    - There's no wood in the desert! He had nothing to do. I had my mom's mail forwarded to me after she died. I still get some really weird stuff from - jnine May 11, 14:56
  - He invented the table! -- nm - Reagen May 11, 14:28
- wow, I don't even know what medals those would be. I'll have to look it up. - loosilu May 11, 14:25 3
  - Canadian Catholic News or something like that. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 14:26 2
    - "When you're both cold and guilty, all there is to do is read." -- nm - con_carne May 11, 14:31
    - don't know it. I think the medals are St Benedict, and they are supposed to hold back the weird chantings of Satanists. supposed to hold back -- (link) - loosilu May 11, 14:30

  - "GET. OUT." -- nm - Reagen May 11, 14:26
my bullying...i put a tack on this annoying girls chair, she sees it and runs to the teacher to complain, and promptly flounces and drops down hard - zeitgeist May 11, 14:22
So 'Psych' fans are now called Psych-Os? Anyway, spoiler alert. - GregW May 11, 14:19 1
- longtime now. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 14:20
If I was to watch a Bond film is there a must see one or do I need to watch the first to know what's going on in other films? - Krusty May 11, 14:18 41
- I'd suggest Goldfinger first. It's the prototype of the Bond formula. - Roger More May 11, 14:28 7 2
  - Thanks for all this. Favorited for future reference. -- nm - Krusty May 11, 14:30 6
    - The special effects are so old it's horrible. Just fyi -- nm - Bacon May 11, 14:31 5
      - well they were cutting edge the year the movie came out :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 11, 15:06
      - That's why I love Live and Let Die; it's cheesy, but the stunts are for the most part, as real as you can get. - Will Hunting May 11, 14:42 3
        
        spoilers - Bacon May 11, 14:46 2
        
        And 20yr old Jane Seymour is the hotter Bond girl ever. - Will Hunting May 11, 14:50 1
        
        She was hot. Very hot. I have to think about hottest though. That Russian in The Spy Who Loved Me, was smoking!! still thinkiing about others -- nm - Bacon May 11, 14:51
- I will say Dr. No for the Ursula Andress bikini scene. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 14:24 5
  - No way! Maybe back when the old people thought that was sexy, but now it's just sad. -- nm - Bacon May 11, 14:25 4
    - what's wrong with your penis? -- nm - loosilu May 11, 14:32 3
      - The swimsuit is ugly and she's got a pooch belly. -- (link) - Bacon May 11, 14:33 2
        
        that's what a woman's body looks like without hours at the gym and loads of plastic surgery. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 14:35 1
        
        James Bond is about fantasy. Fake woman, fake situations, fake always winning. If I want to see real women I will rent Steel Magnolias. -- nm - Bacon May 11, 14:36
- I cannot watch Sean Connery as James Bond so my biased answer is For Your Eyes Only. - Bacon May 11, 14:23 17
  - Sexy? Roger Moore doesn't generate sexual tension with anyone. I chose my handle because of what a joke that is. - Roger More May 11, 14:30 14
    - Roger More was my first Bond, so I have a soft spot for him. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 14:32 12
      - I have a theory that most people will like the first Bond actor they saw. My first movie was Moonraker and so I am a Moore guy. - Bacon May 11, 14:34 11
        
        Quite possible. I'm of the elite crowd who liked Timothy Dalton the best. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 11, 14:38 3
        
        Way way too serious of a Bond for me. -- nm - Bacon May 11, 14:39 2
        
        I think that's what I liked about him. Almost needed to cleanse the Moore stink from the franchise. - Name Withheld By Request May 11, 14:40 1
        
        I watched Licence to Kill again the other night - it's like a Daniel Craig Bond 20 years too early. -- nm - Roger More May 11, 14:41
        
        Connery is more believable in the role and as an action hero. Moore is better at comedy - Roger More May 11, 14:37 4
        
        True to the IM and fist fight. Moore fighting with Jaws is funny. Though he never really wins unless it's a groin kick or something -- nm - Bacon May 11, 14:38 3
        
        No - he tried that and there was a metallic clang. Classic Moore. - Roger More May 11, 14:40 2
        
        Sean Connery wasn't going to beat Jaws in a fistfight without a magnet either. -- nm - Bacon May 11, 14:41 1
        
        I was going to say Jaws wouldn't have fot in a Connery movie, but then I remembered Connery once fought tag-team female gymnasts -- nm - Roger More May 11, 14:42
        
        they've been hearing for years that Connery is supposed to be the best. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 14:35 1
        
        My first exposure to Connery was Never Say Never Again. That didn't help my impression much. -- nm - Bacon May 11, 14:36
    - He's very charming. I think he had a good sense of humor as well. -- nm - Bacon May 11, 14:31
  - Increased sexy sounds very good. - Krusty May 11, 14:28 1
    - Funny thing is the woman I find the most hot, is in the movie that is kind of cornball now. Dr. Goodhead was smoking hot!! Yummy! - Bacon May 11, 14:30
- (You don't have to do this.) Goldeneye is a solid introduction. Some of the original Bond films are...dated. - David May 11, 14:22 7
  - Ooh, I want to see those! -- nm - con_carne May 11, 14:35
  - Early films? He bitch slapped a random baddie girlfriend in Living Daylights (1986). - Name Withheld By Request May 11, 14:34
  - ST seems to really have love for the Bond films so I feel like I should give them a try. - Krusty May 11, 14:27 2
    - *whose* not who's. Jeebus that's an awful mistake. -- nm - Krusty May 11, 14:48 1
      - Hos -- nm - Bacon May 11, 14:49
  - It wasn't even in the script, Connery just forgot where he was. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 14:24 1
    - "Man talk!" -- (link) - Roger More May 11, 14:28 [youtube]
- I tend to think they can all exist in their own bubble. Goldfinger is the first one I ever saw, I think. -- nm - Kim Pine May 11, 14:21
I would have thought the japanese had already done "cute goth" already, all Perry need do is go to the garage sale and hope to find stuff her size -- nm - zeitgeist May 11, 14:14 2
- I think of Perry as a living anime character. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 14:20 1
  - Nicki Minaj -- nm - con_carne May 11, 14:52
LIR: oblik, tRU I responded and thanks for your help. -- (link) - spamlet May 11, 14:14 [Backboard] 16
- i responded as well. -- nm - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 14:17 15
  - keep me posted on the Raspberry Pi build - exciting. -- nm - colin May 11, 14:18 14
    - when the effing thing gets here i will - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 14:20 13
      - would it make sense to use something like the Hauppauge HVR-1950 with it.. add a little power and offboard processing. -- nm - colin May 11, 14:21 12
        
        whats the difference between that and a hdhomerun - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 14:26 11
        
        So, if I do the homerun, I really need that and the earlier PC running linux/mythtv and I'm done? - spamlet May 11, 14:32 8
        
        mythtv can become a dlna/upnp server - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 14:35 7
        
        Would it be easier to use Windows? I have a copy of Vista lying around somewhere. -- nm - spamlet May 11, 14:43 6
        
        dont know, never tried it. - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 14:47 5
        
        hmm... Thanks again for the help. I'm taking notes, I swear! -- nm - spamlet May 11, 14:49 4
        
        you can always email, i remember most of this stuff - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 14:52 3
        
        also, at one time - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 14:53 2
        
        ok, it is -- (link) - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 14:57 1
        
        Thanks. I got Mint up and running at one point, so I'm not that scared of Linux. Just a little. -- nm - spamlet May 11, 15:00
        
        it's a tuner, but uses its onboard processing to do the encoding when you record and then transfers the file data over to the controlling computer -- nm - colin May 11, 14:31 1
        
        hmm, so for a pi, it would remove that portion of the load. k - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 14:36
LIR: Awake - I always assumed both worlds were imaginary. He is probably in a coma. -- nm - GregW May 11, 14:12 4
- during the first episode, I said I hoped that wouldn't be the case. it'd be such lazy writing. -- nm - b. May 11, 14:17
- I was being a little facetious when I posted that. I've guessed for a while that we might never end up knowing, because of the ratings. - con_carne May 11, 14:17 1
  - I think it was well worth watching. A very entertaining series, even if it is over. -- nm - GregW May 11, 14:19
- my guess was that they were both dead and he was in an asylum -- nm - Jovian May 11, 14:14
Speaking of parenting styles. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin May 11, 14:11 3
- heh. the inclusion of symbols is my favorite part. -- nm - b. May 11, 14:19
- kids these days. in my day, we ate soggy tuna fish sandwiches and liked it. -- nm - znufrii May 11, 14:16
- Hahaha. -- nm - kelly May 11, 14:16
LIR: David, but I think that those attitudes exist EVERYWHERE.. - colin May 11, 14:10 29
- Unfortunately, measurables indicate the south is economically depressed and less intelligent as a rule. - David May 11, 14:13 28
  - A gay exchange program! -- nm - Reagen May 11, 14:25 2
    - related: a church i was contracting for as their sound person always treated Allie pretty poorly.. - colin May 11, 14:28 1
      - I think that's a fantastic slogan - znufrii May 11, 14:30
  - My impression of the South is that there are two cultures that don't talk to each other. I'm not sure that education, or even smartphones or the - Roger More May 11, 14:21 9
    - This is a valid point, and only slightly ironic when posted on this board. - Dr.Vermin, slacktivist May 11, 14:25 6
      - I was thinking of this board in part when I wrote it. This community is overwhelmingly white and male. Women, Hispanics and African-Americans are - Roger More May 11, 14:35 5
        
        But we linked to an afro-american newspaper today! - Dr.Vermin, slacktivist May 11, 14:43 4
        
        so we could crush what we assume their poll results would be! -- nm - loosilu May 11, 14:58 2

        I thought today's meme was "ST doesn't accept diversity of opinion"? - Roger More May 11, 14:47
    - Thankfully, this isn't really the case. The neighborly atmosphere forces conversation. - David May 11, 14:24 1
      - By cultures talking to one another, I'm not really talking about casual conversation - Roger More May 11, 15:03
  - this is what i poorly attempted to say about businesses boycotting NC - if you cut funding, jobs, etc to a state that needs education... you're - colin May 11, 14:15 13
    - Yup, I love that colleges are doing free online classes. When that becomes an established educational system for children... - David May 11, 14:20 1
      - the Apple University app is pretty cool, as is MetEd.. it's nice learning for the sake of it. - colin May 11, 14:24
    - Ooh, nice. This was my reasoning for my vacation advice to Qale. - Dr.Vermin, slacktivist May 11, 14:18 10
      - Let's all vacation in Cuba! -- nm - Roger More May 11, 14:21 1
        
        I would love this. A recent episode of No Reservations in Cuba was spectacular. -- nm - David May 11, 14:25
