  1. Will they use new or old scripts? Will they do 1 play per show or 2? Lot's of questions here. Damn good idea. I didn't think modern production companies had the skills to pull it off. I just hope they do it right.
  2. they made it environmentally conscious whereas in the original book, the military was trying to get a devastating biological weapon from space and got way more than they bargained for. The remake (re-imagining) made it lame.
  3. here is the original http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZE6ltxqEmA This was one of a number of awesome 70s Cold War movies that I heartily recommend! The Andromeda Strain - avoid the new one. It got a politically correct make over. The Omega Man - again the original was the best.

  7. Never, ever eat Thai for lunch and Mexican for supper.
  8. If you really want to know, http://awesomedude.com/jamessavik/Broken/index.htm There are a lot of parts of the country where people still act and feel like the Duck Commander.
  9. Did they return the poor man's balls?
  10. If these are the same elves from the Desolation of Smague, they can take care of themselves
  11. In the not so distant past, rural southern families kept pigs. Many of them selected one to have for a Christmas feast. Christmas week they would slaughter the pig and make smoked hams, sausage and all manner of porkly treats. For the piece de resistance, the pork loin was had for Christmas Eve dinner. For the sake of tradition, I made this classic meal for my Mom tonight. Two seasonal traditional recipes: Roasted Pork Loin Ingredients 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon dried rosemary salt & pepper (to taste) 2 pound boneless pork loin 1/4 cup olive oil 1/2 cup white wine (sweet) Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Crush garlic with rosemary, salt and pepper, making a paste. Pierce meat with a sharp knife in several places and press the garlic paste into the openings. Rub the meat with the remaining garlic mixture and olive oil. Place pork loin into oven, turning and basting with pan liquids. Cook until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove roast to a platter. Heat the wine in the pan and stir to loosen browned bits of food on the bottom. Serve with pan juices. Butter Steamed New Potatoes Ingredients 2 pounds of new or very small red potatoes 1/2 cup of butter 1/4 cup of water 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, or to taste 1/2 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper, or to taste 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley, loosely packed Instructions Add the butter, water, salt and pepper to a medium saucepan and melt butter over low heat. Meanwhile, scrub the potatoes and peel a strip away from the center of each potato. Add to the saucepan, cover, and cook over low for 25 to 30 minutes. Roll potatoes around in the pan occasionally as they cook, but do not remove cover. Sprinkle the potatoes with the parsley, toss and transfer to a serving bowl, drizzling the remaining butter from the saucepan over the top. Serve immediately. Cook's Notes: New potatoes are tiny, with very thin, delicate skins and are the best potato for this dish. If using larger red potatoes you must cut them into quarters, or they will take too long to cook. May also substitute any other baking potatoes, but peel and cut those into bite sized chunks. Adjust cooking times as needed. Cut potatoes will also absorb more of the butter. May also substitute other herbs at the end; try chives, fresh sage, rosemary, thyme or basil, or use a dried herbes de Provence
  12. Bobcats are anti-social and rude. Even bears don't go out of their way to mess with them. They have an evil tendency to go for the face.
  13. There's a reason Japan always beat on China when they didn't have anything better to do. Once that mighty mass of people are united and moving in one direction, they will run over anything.
  14. We are pleased to announce the arrival of our newest associate. Kitty Cleo is joining our firm in the position of chief ornament. We expect her to be astonishingly cute and outstandingly fuzzy.
  15. *sighs* It's not about "affluenza". It's about the harshest sentence the Juvenile Court could impose.
  16. I have no problems with eating animals. If they were bigger, they would eat us. We're just lucky the Saber-toothed tiger and velociraptor missed Noah's boat. (Or took a bad turn during the Jurassic period). WWRJD? (What Would Raptor Jesus Do?) I'm guessing he would be having the lamb.
  17. Mark me down as a carnivore.
  18. I believe we are missing a salient point. He was tried in Juvenile Court. They gave him the max that you can give a juvenile under their system. He is under long-term rehab (a year in-patient) + 10 years probation. If he screws up, he will have aged out from under his juvenile protections, he gets adult time. If statistics about alcoholics and recovery are realistic (and they are), he has an 80%+ chance to be drunk 3 months out of treatment.
  19. In this case the suspect was tried in juvenile court. They did about as much as they could to him under that system. Don't think that long term alcohol rehab and probation are going to be a picnic. If he screws up again, he will have aged out from under the juvenile protections and will get prison time.
  20. I do, I do! Good to see you Meeko!
  21. OK- DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER 23 Vintage Ads that would be banned today http://www.boredpanda.com/vintage-ads/ Imgur Offensive ads: http://imgur.com/a/bT6c9
  22. you know how many mail carriers they lose to moose and bear attack every year?
