      - It was like I was chatting with Black Shadow. - Mel Profit Dec 9, 13:54
For Shakespeare fans (or newbies): I highly recommend Tiny Ninja Theater productions. Mostly in NYC, sometimes on the road. - loosilu Dec 9, 13:34 3
- Here's some Tiny Ninja Theater on YouTube. -- (link) - Mop (214 lbs) Dec 9, 13:46 [youtube]

Ke$ha's facebook status: "Check my ass out on the cover of the new issue of COMPLEX!!I am not wearing any pants. Not even a little bit." -- nm - MDH Dec 9, 13:33 4
- useless -- nm - ty97 Dec 9, 13:35
- Of all the trashy celebrities, she's my favorite. -- nm - Max Dec 9, 13:34 2
  - Same here. I love her for this reason. -- nm - MDH Dec 9, 13:38
  - at least she doesn't even *pretend* to not be trashy. she wholly embraces it. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 9, 13:37
If there was a better animated film in 2010 than How to Train Your Dragon, I didn't see it. - David Dec 9, 13:31 45
- My one complaint about Dragon was (spoils, I guess) - Jim Dec 9, 13:52 3
  - (spoiler) - Qale Dec 9, 13:55
  - Spoilers - David Dec 9, 13:54 1
    - He means the Fury, I think. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 13:57
- Whaaaaaat? - minion Dec 9, 13:38 11
  - I liked Toy Story 3, but haven't seen the others yet. -- nm - MDH Dec 9, 13:48
  - Long and largely out of ideas. -- nm - David Dec 9, 13:39 9
    - See, that is my description for HTTYD. - Spawn Dec 9, 13:41 8
      - I...don't even know how to reply to it. How to Train Your Dragon is chock full of good ideas. TS3 even has to repeat the same scene twice at the end. -- nm - David Dec 9, 13:43 5
        
        that kid was such a pussy i was hoping for the dragon to eat him -- nm - pixmas Dec 9, 13:46 2
        
        :O -- nm - Fritz the Cat Dec 9, 13:47
        
        Poor Andy. -- nm - David Dec 9, 13:47
        
        Good? maybe. Predictable? way too much. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 13:45 1
        
        It's fitting that you're agreeing with Pixie since you're his level of wrong. (Dragon spoilers) - David Dec 9, 13:46
      - *ding* -- nm - pixmas Dec 9, 13:42 1
        
        That movie had the potential to be my fav animated movie of all time. Instead, it *might* crack the top 25. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 13:43
- I...agree. - Kim Pine Dec 9, 13:35
- then you didn't see Toy Story 3 - pixmas Dec 9, 13:33 24
  - I've seen it twice now. I wish it were a more engaging film. - David Dec 9, 13:39 20
    - that's a good way to put it. i had zero issue with having to walk out of TS3 at the halfway point. - TFox Dec 9, 13:40 19
      - then you missed the entire point and best part of the film, dumbass -- nm - pixmas Dec 9, 13:41 18
        
        and while that might be true, the last half would have to be the most epic thing ever to pass the quality of Dragon. - TFox Dec 9, 13:43 17
        
        Andy's final scene in TS3 is almost as good as the opening montage in Up. -- nm - Max Dec 9, 13:45 15
        
        Honestly, I can't remember the last scene all that well. This isn't a problem at all for Up's montage. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 13:48 10
        
        That's because the ending of toy story 3 is physically darker than the beginning of Up; your retinas didn't think it was bright enough to register. - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:50
        
        It *could* be argued that we identified more with each. You, newly married. Me, sitting there with my 3 year old son at his first movie, growing up -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 13:50 5
        
        The strangest part is that Dragon has the same scheme as Iron Giant. When did you turn on Iron Giant? - David Dec 9, 13:53 2
        
        *More* originality? I have to say, and I don;t say this lightly, I think you have forgotten the movie Iron Giant. - Spawn Dec 9, 13:56 1
        
        No, I said exactly the opposite. (spoilers) - David Dec 9, 13:58
        
        i'll never be able to grade Princess and the Frog objectively, because it was Jacen's first movie. - TFox Dec 9, 13:51 1
        
        True dat. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 13:52
        
        That's because of the repeated garbage scenes. The scene he references is tender and pure. -- nm - David Dec 9, 13:50 2
        
        Nah, I know what scene...it was a good scene. it didn't kick me in the nuts feeling hollow inside like Up did. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 13:52 1
        
        Also, that was the point of Up's, but not all of it for TS3. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 13:53
        
        You're right. It's a shame they dragged the movie out so much in getting to that. -- nm - David Dec 9, 13:48
        
        and (spoil) - Spawn Dec 9, 13:46 1
        
        yup. -- nm - znufrii Dec 9, 13:47
        
        *ding* -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 13:45
        
        mara? -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 13:44
  - Quality movie....but not the best of the trio. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 13:38 1
    - In fact, clearly the worst. -- nm - David Dec 9, 13:39
  - TS3.. Tangled and HTTYD........................................ ............... Despicable Me - TWuG Dec 9, 13:34
- Which is great, but not Dragon-great. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 13:32 1
  - this -- nm - JaxSean Dec 9, 13:42
- Despicable Me is neck and neck with HtTYD for me. - Will Hunting Dec 9, 13:32
I cant believe I missed a Disney animation poll!!! My top five are Fantasia, Fantasia 2000, Beauty and the Beast, Fox and the Hound and Lion King. -- nm - Walt_Disney Dec 9, 13:30 2
- Yeah, Fantasia is my second. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 13:30 1
  - Fantasia, urg. Sorcerer's Apprentice is part of that. I meant Fantasia. -- nm - the liioulu with empty IKEA bag Dec 9, 13:31
Why Bonnie Hammer of USA Networks is a programming guru & why she's in business with Vince McMahon - Remlik Dec 9, 13:29
Breaking news: DADT repeal falls short in Senate. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 13:27 7
- the senate don't like to repeal anything thats named "...don't tell" -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 9, 13:33
- well when you only have 59 out of 100 seats, what can you expect? -- nm - Reagen Dec 9, 13:30 1
  - The leadership ability to get one freaking Repub that has a brain.....yes thats slam at both sides. -- nm - Walt_Disney Dec 9, 13:39
- Wait, they actually voted on it? It didn't get shut down? -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 13:29 1
  - It was another cloture vote. -- nm - Reagen Dec 9, 13:30
- What a surprise...(nm) - amoxy Dec 9, 13:29
- useless -- nm - ty97 Dec 9, 13:28
LIR: In game purchase are a big part of "free" games these days. It's all over Facebook and quite common. The only issue is that iTunes/Apple - oblique Dec 9, 13:24 31
- it's the default that seems so wrong to me. If you want to make instant purchases, change the setting yourself. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 13:25 30
  - bah! Like I said, if i'm making multiple purchases, say 5 songs of an album, I damn sure don't want to have to enter my password 5 damn times. -- nm - Stephen Dec 9, 13:26 6
    - oh my goodness, someone buying less than a full album! heathen! -- nm - heheheheheheh Dec 9, 13:28 2
      - The last time I bought full albums was when I was replacing some of my 80s Hair Metal that I'd lost. - Stephen Dec 9, 13:40 1
        
        Yeah, I know :) I was just poking fun at the people who were harping on me for not listening to albums. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:46
    - She's saying that allowing that shouldn't be the "default" not that you shouldn't be able to change - TWuG Dec 9, 13:27
    - right, so you change the setting. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 13:27 1
      - You change the setting! - Stephen Dec 9, 13:34
  - Perhaps, but this probably goes back a long time in iTunes (for people buying multiple single songs, etc). it isn't something new, per se -- nm - oblique Dec 9, 13:26 1
    - IIRC, I had to set it that way. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 13:27
  - and many, many people don't realize there is real money tied to some video games. not everyone plays FB games. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 13:25 20
    - Personal responsibility, people! - Stephen Dec 9, 13:36 19
      - They didn't know until they got the bill. -- nm - the liioulu with empty IKEA bag Dec 9, 13:41 1
        
        And in one case the guy knew about the 15 minute window made sure the kid didn't get it until after and still got charged. - the liioulu with empty IKEA bag Dec 9, 13:42
      - yes, it is everyone's responsibility to know everything about everything. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 13:38 2
        
        Not everything about everything, but certainly everything about something you're purchasing/downloading to play. -- nm - Stephen Dec 9, 13:44 1
        
        and if they don't alert you, you'd know how? -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 13:45
      - It's not my fault my daughter drank bleach. My kitchen cabinets didn't come with child-locks preinstalled on them. - Dr.Vermin Dec 9, 13:38 13
        
        that's not even close to an analogy. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 13:39 12
        
        A better one would be, "Oh look Facebook has a new feature that tells everyone what I just bought with my CC on another site." -- nm - the liioulu with empty IKEA bag Dec 9, 13:43 11
        
        I was thinking "No one told you about the side effects of that medicine, but it's your fault your daughter grew hair on her eyeballs" -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 13:44 10
        
        You're going to give your child a drug without knowing the side effects? - Stephen Dec 9, 13:45 8
        
        All I know is Facebook is mentioned in this thread, which means the kid got what was coming to it. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 13:47 1
        
        Facebook is only in here as an analogy. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with empty IKEA bag Dec 9, 13:49
        
        They aren't always plainly stated. And often not always known until widely used. - the liioulu with empty IKEA bag Dec 9, 13:46
        
        ohfer. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 13:46 4
        
        ohfer what? "Hey, doc, you're prescribing this medication/drug for my child, what are the side effects?" - Stephen Dec 9, 13:48 3
        
        This analogy has gone way out of hand. Personally I research to death any drug I touch, - loosilu Dec 9, 13:50 1
        
        And that brings it back to the original point. - the liioulu with empty IKEA bag Dec 9, 13:52
        
        I dunno. That sounds like a lot of work, man. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 9, 13:50
        
        That'll do too. -- nm - the liioulu with empty IKEA bag Dec 9, 13:45
Avoid Goo.gl links on Twitter. It's a virus -- (link) - TWuG Dec 9, 13:23
Romeo & Juliet is really Antony & Cleopatra! -- nm - Max Dec 9, 13:23 19
- Now that it's mentioned it makes obvious sense (I've read Hamlet) I've just never thought about it. - MDH Dec 9, 13:24 18
  - yes, thinking about it does reveal the similarities, even based on my limited knowledge (derived from the Simpsons, obviously. :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:25 17
    - You truly need to read some Hamlet - Will Hunting Dec 9, 13:28 16
      - Thank you, no. I hate iambic pentameter. - TWuG Dec 9, 13:30 1
        
        He copied too. -- nm - the liioulu with empty IKEA bag Dec 9, 13:32
      - blah, I'll stick with Clancy and Sandford. - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:29 13
        
        Barring Will's suggestion, check out something like Patrick Stewart's Hamlet or Macbeth with the closed captioning on -- nm - con_carne Dec 9, 13:31 11
        
        I definitely can recommend his Macbeth. -- nm - znufrii Dec 9, 13:35
        
        That's what I was thinking when you suggested Brannaugh. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:32 9
        
        Between these, you will find the origin of a shit ton of now-common sayings. You'll be like, "Whoa. So that's where that saying comes from." -- nm - con_carne Dec 9, 13:35 3
        
        Not just sayings - he originated certain basic every-day words. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:49 2
        
        like "ballsack" (in 'The Merchant of Venice') -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 13:50 1
        
        I was thinking more like "road". -- (link) - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:52
        
        No, no, not Brannagh. - the liioulu with empty IKEA bag Dec 9, 13:35 4
        
        what do you have against Branagh? -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 13:38 3
        
        He's not as good as his rep. And lacks a certain spark that the others have. -- nm - the liioulu with empty IKEA bag Dec 9, 13:44 2
        
        I just remember the Henry V film being particularly accessible, and rec'd it to Bery for that reason. -- nm - con_carne Dec 9, 13:49 1
        
        Didn't like that one. -- nm - the liioulu with empty IKEA bag Dec 9, 13:54

- You use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar whore. -- nm - TWuG Dec 9, 13:25
- > You have been eaten by a grue. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:22
- Redmond - TFox Dec 9, 13:22 1
  - You want to French Kiss Redmond? -- nm - amoxy Dec 9, 13:26
Sorry for the repost: MHers, anyone looking to trade planks? -- nm - Guigue Dec 9, 13:21 5
- I will. -- nm - the liioulu with empty IKEA bag Dec 9, 13:22 4
  - 10-12? -- nm - Guigue Dec 9, 13:26 3
    - I'll do half that. 6? -- nm - the liioulu with empty IKEA bag Dec 9, 13:28 2
      - Okidoo! -- nm - Guigue Dec 9, 13:41 1
        
        Sent. Had to change browsers to do it. - the liioulu with empty IKEA bag Dec 9, 13:48
I bet TFox is fearsome at chess. - loosilu Dec 9, 13:21 18
- I really need to brush up on my Go skills -- nm - znufrii Dec 9, 13:33 1
  - So leave then. -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 13:33
- I'm a backgammon champion. No lie. Haven't layed for years but I won tournaments. -- nm - Remlik Dec 9, 13:32 10 2
  - Not sure that's a tourney-winning secret I see people embracing. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 13:39 1
    - that was the secret to my winning! -- nm - Remlik Dec 9, 13:42
  - I'm laughing too hard to type. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 13:37
  - *laughing* -- nm - A Mason Dec 9, 13:34
  - brilliant typo. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:33 1
    - *clicks Mark As Favorite* -- nm - oblique Dec 9, 13:38
  - I love backgammon. I haven't played "real" players before though. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 13:33 1
    - those dudes are nuts. -- nm - Remlik Dec 9, 13:33
  - haven't played for years either. -- nm - Remlik Dec 9, 13:32 1
    - Dude, I am playing *right* now. You should play -- (link) - Spawn Dec 9, 13:35
- I know how most of the pieces move. - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:22 2
  - there's a game out now called No Stress Chess which is a really good teaching tool. - TFox Dec 9, 13:23 1
    - good to know -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:24
- i am sure a few STers could wipe the board with me. i'm egregiously out of practice. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 13:21 1
  - Chess is one of the few things my dad and I... came together on. - Spawn Dec 9, 13:23
"An error occurred while processing this OMG" -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:20 4
- ~If you leave, don't leave... oh, shiny! -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 13:21
- (I'm torn on whether I should devote any effort to fixing these roll bugs. They're a fun throwback to days of yore.) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:20 2
  - Just change the wording. -- nm - mara Dec 9, 13:40
  - my vote: no. they aren't an actual problem. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 13:21
