The best monologue in the Godfather Trilogy (from the beginning to 1:00):

Boil them!!!

Oh I agree 100% that tests are flawed. Unfortunately I'm just a teacher and not a curriculum designer. Teachers have some freedom in terms of grading but we're still heavily limited by department curriculums. I guess you could say that it rustles my jimmies. Anyway, even speaking can be gamed...

Actually, no, she didn't "learn the language". Yes, she was able to ace every grammar test, but she couldn't hold a simple conversation worth a damn. Learning a language involves a lot more than simply memorizing grammar rules and vocabulary. Had she actually come to class and participated in...

That's a fair point. It's a language class, so attendance (i.e being present and using the language on a regular basis) is pretty important. Scoring routine 0s on the in-class speaking assignments is the primary reason her grade dropped under 70 in the first place. The overall grading system is...

I just submitted my final grades as well (college level students). 70 is the minimum for a "pass", and I had one student with a 69.70. What did I do? FAIL, mother fucker. The administration office asked me to round her grade up and pass her but I said hell no, she got what she earned. She blew...

My main problem with living in Balitmore is that the nicer areas tend to be right across the street from shitty areas. It's not like D.C, where you've got huge areas of similar income living together; in Baltimore you can have a nice, upscale apartment on one block, and the next block will have...

Is there a cohesive timeline/story linking all of the Final Fantasy games together? I've only played a handful of them here or there and I was always curious if they were somehow connected if you played them from 1 to XXIIVL or whatever the latest one is.

co(conut oil)aine is a hell of a drug!

David the Gnome was awesome. Years later I remember watching Happy Days and thinking "HOLY SHIT IT'S DAVID!"

Everything you said is wrong and doesn't work when dealing with the crazy. Like you said, you've never dealt with it. Wombat is on point with his assertion that emotion is, ironically, the best way to deal with it. And then the awesome crazy make up sex happens, which is the one shining...

I did my first shave with the stuff I ordered a few posts up. I wish I had switched to wet shaving sooner; this was by far the closest and most comfortable shave I've ever had and for the first time in my life I didn't immediately feel irritation after. It was an enjoyable experience from start...

Yeah, vanish -> doom for bosses and vanish -> x-zone for trash. There was that one area where magic wasn't useable...was that the Phoenix Cave? Or the Cult of Kefka Tower? One allowed only magic, and one allowed no magic if I remember correctly. Whichever it was, it always fucked me up...

Really good job. And the fact that you've done it over the course of 2 years and managed to maintain it is even better. By the way, your gym looks amazing. I'd kill for a rock wall in mine.

FFIII was ruined for me the day I discovered vanish -> doom. I'm too weak-willed not to use it. Although wasn't this fixed in later editions of the game? I've only ever played the original SNES version.

I'm going to buy a new gaming laptop in the next 1 - 2 months and I'm curious if anyone has recommendations. I'm buying it to replace my current Asus G-something-or-other that I bought 4 years ago. Despite being 4 years old it still runs like a beast and has survived trips to several countries...

This. I was half-hoping he'd somehow survive because he was so awesome. Looks aside, I think the portrayal of Daario is on the right track; the guy playing him certainly has Daario's confidence and swagger.

Having dated women in the USA and abroad, I can say that all women are crazy, it's just a matter ofhowcrazy they get. Your post reminds me of my crazy, Russian ex-girlfriend who was so crazy I ended up fleeing a country to escape her. Sadly those posts were on FoH and are gone now. Anyway...

The coolest thing about this episode was that I felt like I was on drugs when watching it. I was just as confused as Don by the jumps in time and overall weirdness of everything. I'm still confused about why Dawn was missing all of last episode. I was expecting that to play a role in this...

I cried when Cyan's family died from the poison. I can't believe such a cartoony game was so dark.

I can tolerate hating on boiled chicken. But hating on dumplings? What. The. Fuck. Dumplings are amazing. Seriously though, I never realized boiling chicken was so rare. I started doing it years ago when I was living abroad among savages in Kazakhstan. They cook all their meat by boiling for...

I'm glad they didn't go with the colored beard for Daario. I don't think that would have translated very well to TV. I like the casting choice for Daario, although I'm not looking forward to the teenage love story between him and Dany. Hopefully they keep that to a minimum; there is already...

I boil everything, Samwise Gamgee style.

Yeah, it's become one of my staples when I don't feel like cooking anything complicated. I often put 2 - 3 pounds of chicken in a big pot on Sunday afternoons and boil enough for the entire week. Sometimes I season it with salt/pepper/other spices, but sometimes I'll just leave it plain. Like I...

"Advice about starting to cook food for myself" is a pretty general statement. Are you looking for specific recipes? Do you have any cooking experience? What kinds of things do you like? I linked this website back towards the beginning of the thread and I think it deserves to be linked here...

I loled.

I've got a package on the way from Russia filled with Kinder Surprise. Stick it to the Man!

The entire network should have been nuked from orbit the second they changed the name to "Syfy".

The world of government contracting has been slowly crushing my soul for the past year for a measly 35k/year, which is basically unlivable around Washington, D.C. I don't know how the hell people can stand being in this business longterm. I'm seriously considering saying fuck it all and going...

Seeing a show like Dracula on NBC pains me. A show dealing with Dracula would be much better suited to AT LEAST basic cable, and ideally a pay channel like HBO, Showtime, or Starz. Let the standard networks stick to forumlaic cop, medical, legal dramas and situation comedies rather than waste...

I'm going to hop in here before all the Negative Nancys show up and talk about how awful everything was. Great final episode. Things I really liked: - All the people at the panel saying the things the entire internet has been saying about Pam - Pam herself realizing what an idiot she's...

The combination of Mad Men and this thread makes me feel like a complete idiot. I don't see any of this stuff you guys are discussing when I watch. I was like "wtf is going on" during the weird/awkward domination scenes.

At least Atlantic Rim has some clear, daytime battles. Why the fuck does the epic stuff always happen at night during thunder storms.

Americans are the only ones who make decent sour candy. All the "sour" candy I've tried overseas was some pansy shit. American sour candy will turn your face inside out. These are technically Canadian but they're AMAZING so I'll give them a pass. This is by far the best of the Sour Patch Kids...

I've eaten at a few "famous" places in Washington D.C over the last several years and I've always been disappointed. I guess it's like wine, where you have to really be into the food to notice a difference? Each time I've eaten at these supposedly amazing places opened by world class chefs I...

Well put. I think you explain the super casual player's feelings towards the event well, whereas LadyVex is explaining the Progression Guild Players' feelings. Both are valid, of course; it just depends on which group you fall into. As a super casual player at the time I really enjoyed the AQ...

I think S03 E11 of Board Walk Empire is better than E12, if only for this scene (possible minor spoilers): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUQnQzzE6pM

A delicious, but unfortunately named, candy:

The Michael J. Fox Show looks good, but I hope they don't overplay the Parkinsons angle. A few jokes relating to it here and there would be fine, but if they rely on it for all the laughs it'll get old really quickly.

That's why I don't click on TV/Movie threads between the time of release(airing, for TV shows) and the time I see it. I avoided the Iron Man thread for the entire week between the international release and the US midnight showing I went to. It's the only way to be safe!
