    New Bond Film - Quantum Of Solace

    1. Your opinion is valued and valid. Heterodoxy is good. We hate yes-men. 2. I agree that he looks like Putin. But Putin looks pretty cool too -- a badass. Both he and Daniel Craig look like they could actually do some damage unlike Pierce B. When I saw Pierce B. without a shirt in one of his...

    hee hee, I knew I'd draw you out somehow.

    I knew I'd get a rise out of that one.

    Style Apogee?

    And our present. (See Idiocracy thread for more on this subject....)

    SteveS, let's see you in it. Hat Head, looking great. I think I'll get me a porkpie. The fedora is getting passé.

    Style Apogee?

    That is exactly what Hemingway Jones was more or less saying. An eclectic style in which things are mismatched on purpose, or sometimes almost on purpose, taking various elements from different periods is EXACTLY the hallmark of postmodernism (in architecture, at least). It can work. Or...

    Give your patriotism a boost here: Share what makes you feel patriotic

    Let's give a round of applause to Hemingway Jones for applying a light touch to any edits he may have made and thusly keeping the thread open. Let's give a hand to everyone for keeping the conversation civil. I hope our national anthem will not change to kumbaya.

    Hand washing suits.

    It's a top loader. But I don't think temperature changes will be an issue as you can set it for COLD WASH, COLD RINSE.

    Give your patriotism a boost here: Share what makes you feel patriotic

    In my experience you are very good and careful at that. One might even say that you use a scalpel, rather than a hatchet, which is of course the proper way to do any sort of thing like this. As well as various other important things.

    Hand washing suits.

    There were two breakdowns on the server over the past few months, I believe, but you might want to check with a bartender for the straight dope. You can reload your avatar-picture.

    How terribly sorry I am. I did not mean to make you feel that way. I love my country.

    Give your patriotism a boost here: Share what makes you feel patriotic

    I agree with the Churchill quote. However, the term tyrant has a slightly more complex origin. We get it from Greek tyrannos which is a non-Greek word. They got it in the seventh or 6th century BC from the Lydians who inhabited Asia Minor. All it originally meant was a person who seized...

    "Crisis, what Crisis?"

    No, but it sounds delicious and now that you mention it, I want some! Oddest sausage I've had is horse sausage, heavily cured, almost like salami, in Poland. It comes in a narrow-gauge format. I loved it. Plus, you can let it dry indefinitely and then it's even harder and more salami-like...

    Halloween Costumes

    You could also more or less make that Pomona, the Roman goddess of flowers and fruits. She carries a pruning hook-knifey thingy in the iconography.

    Hand washing suits.

    It was only $110 used and that included delivery and installation. Yes, I'm not sure what to try in the "handwash" cycle. Any advice from y'all? I will be happy to try a (not-deluxe) item if an argument can be made. A jacket sounds like a good idea. Is that the best item to start with?

    The idea that hats keep you cooler...

    I hang out in the shade. If there's no shade, I don't go there. Once in Turkey everyone was going out for the day to some salt flats. It was about 90 degrees and this was a place where the ground was composed of hard white salt. I thought about the glare and I thought about the reflected...
