    Oh, the Stigma of an Astigmatism. . .

    Sorry to break into the PR! I have always been attracted to ladies with glasses! Velma (Scooby-Do) was my girl of choice over Daphne. [huh] Glasses have always been a powerful draw for me.

    Tasers, Airplanes and Health Insurance

    Hopefully everyone is back home and safe after these holidays. Anyone have any further thoughts on this subject? I was lucky enough to stay inside city limits when travelling, and thus no TSA Grope.

    "The man in black who never smiles": how to build a great collection and not enjoy it

    I had a good chuckle at this, although I must agree with Tomasso and Feraud here. Personally, I think all sorts come to the table regarding collecting. I used to collect Punisher comic books over a decade ago. I started collecting because I truly enjoyed the character, the art, the style, the...

    Any Other Conscientious Objectors.....To New Years Eve

    In fact, this has been my gripe with nearly every holiday since I transitioned from child to adult. It seems everyone needs an excuse to drink. Regarding NYE, I've never really found it all that interesting. I typically stay up and watch a movie, pause it at 11:59, watch the ball drop (repeat of...

    Stanley Aladdin Thermos

    I'm sure many of you are familiar with the classic green Stanley Aladdin thermos that used to grace many a working man's home. In a most unfortunate turn of events, I've lost mine after some years (it's no longer in my storage, and no longer in my home - thus, who knows where it's gone off...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Night Porter (1974) I was hoping this would be a decent film considering it was listed on the Criterion collection, but I ended up being slightly disappointed. I wasn't offended per se, but I believe the film left very much to be desired. Additionally, I think the finale was not only...

    Any writers?

    Wow, that's great! How many pages is that? (I'm thinking around 200?) Once the winter subsides, I can thaw back into my writing mode. I have difficulty writing in the winter because Iowa is always so bleak and dead. I mentioned previously that I finished my novel Among the Damned, but I've...

    Any writers?

    If I'm reading this right, it sounds like you're merely going through the same thing many writers encounter when they begin their journey. Writing is an art and although nearly boundless, it does have its limitations such as language, grammar, style, etc. When piecing together a story, even a...

    Tasers, Airplanes and Health Insurance

    Very good; I think we are on the same page here. Although I may disagree on the necessity of the security altogether, I would agree that if we are to have security, we cannot take one country's policy and make it our own without first considering the difference in populations and scale. To...

    No way, John! I don't know about anyone else but I think it's nice to be able to talk about these things like adults without the pressures of the "interwebz" crushing the conversation with endless lunatic chatter or plain rudeness. Also, when I started this thread, I very much had in mind the...

    Break Out the Board Games!

    Foofoo, Like Rue said, you have a number of red cards with nouns, objects, people, places, etc. Play rotates around the table clockwise (min. 4 players) and whoever has their turn flips a green card in the middle. The green card is always an adjective like cool, vivacious, wise, silly, etc...

    Show us your Guns!

    Wow Draws, that is a wonderful firearm! Diamondback, I have to agree; I love my .357 "Hogleg" (S&W 686), although it's not very ugly. Sometimes, the ugly guns are the scary ones! I think some of the .50 BMG snipers are kinda ugly, but I bet we'd all agree they're effective when aimed right. ;)

    Break Out the Board Games!

    BS? Oh, Bovine Scatology? Of course, that's a good one! ;) Btw, is that Loaded Questions pretty fun? My lady and I go out to her sister's on the weekends and play games, and I was thinking about picking this one up. What's the game like?

    Break Out the Board Games!

    I really enjoy Trivial Pursuit, although the newer versions aren't very thrilling (DVD, Wii). We also play Apples to Apples and some of the guys enjoy Texas Hold 'Em.

    "Other movie's music in OTHER movies"

    Although I can't name a specific movie/tune combo, I can say that I usually recognize composer Hans Zimmer when I hear him. In fact, I think we can all usually tell when Danny Elfman is doing the music for a movie, too. I know that's not hearing one popular song from a movie in another...

    FAVORITE WILD ANIMAL

    I love animals. It's hard to decide on a favorite - I think they're all fascinating. I really like lemurs and tigers. I could start listing animals out but I better stop there.

    Tasers, Airplanes and Health Insurance

    Not drawing comparisons would be folly. Although there may be fewer Israeli airports, those airports are at the very least, mired in "terrorism". In any case, I disagree with your choice of words. Again, I must disagree with your choice of words. The TSA screening machines DO, in fact, have...
