Thanks for the replies, everyone! Fortunately no one at my company expects me to become a Drupal guru (although doing so would certainly give me leverage for a raise, heh). The problem we've been running into lately is that our VP of marketing wants to do this, this, and this on our website...

It's either a trannie or a cute kitten in a person costume. Fedor's got me all confused

If your only real work experience is teaching ESL in China, whether it's at a Chinese university or a private language school, then you might as well have no experience. Overseas ESL teaching experience means exactly jack and shit to anyone outside of chain ESL schools in the USA (i.e Kaplan...

I've never seen a pure black chick who I thought was attractive. I guess it's just what you're used to? Being near Baltimore/D.C, I get black chicks recommended to me on eHarmony all the time. At this point if their name is along the lines of Olutoyin, Latoya, or a white girl's name with a...

My company has decided that I should learn Drupal, with the goal of taking over our (currently very basic) website and allowing for a lot more customization and features. Within reason they're willing to pay for any courses or books that I might need. So does anyone have any recommendations on...

Just curious, but has anyone who said they were trying to lose weight in this thread actually made any progress?

If you didn't have an SNES I'm pretty sure they actually hated you. Proof my parents loved me. I've still got it in the attic somewhere:

I was hoping this was the Pokemon edition of Keg's classic "What video game character are you?" thread on FOH.

I said it on FOH and I'll say it again here: the biggest mistake they made was killing off Batiatus. Spartacus was always the most boring character on the show (even when Andy was portraying him). The best parts were the intrigue and scheming of Batiatus. Last season had a lot less of that with...

I'm really,reallyhoping that the battle of the five armies takes up a significant portion of the 3rd movie. That has the potential to be insanely epic, even moreso than any of the battles in LOTR, so I'd hate to see it not given proper treatment. Anyway, it's been a long time since I read The...

Cannot wait. No show brings the badass as much as Spartacus.

Thread needs more Game Gear! A portable game system AND a mini color TV? OMG!

Wow I had forgotten about Funcoland. That place was amazing for finding reasonably priced games during the days of 60 - 80 dollar cartridges. Years later, during the time they were going out of business, I drove almost an hour to one to pick up an NES lightgun so I could play Duck Hunt on the...

It's ok. They're both awesome rides. Your kids are lucky they got to experience them. I've always pitied those kids who never had a chance to go to Disney World at a young age. It's just not the same when you're older.

That's not the Haunted Mansion, that's the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Not only are they completely different rides, but they're not even in the same parks (MGM vs. Magic Kingdom). Learn2DisneyWorld!

Answer:

Given that it's based on the book and the visual style was already pretty much set in stone by the LOTR films, I doubt it would have been much different in either story or visuals.

All you fat fucks need to realize you're going to quit the gym in a few weeks and stop crowding it for people who don't wait till some arbitrary date to get in shape.

In my experience, any chick who is hard to read isn't interested in you as more than a friend. If a girl has a strong desire to be more than a friend they generally make it really clear. Hasn't it been a while with her? Sounds like friend zone to me. Move on.

I've never had a big aquarium, but I think a lot of the fun for me would be buying all the little decorative shit like castles and whatnot to make it look nice. I could see spending a lot of time and money on that as I gradually build up my aquarium's "theme", so to speak.

True, I don't expect any of the "big" characters like Nucky, Capone, Luciano, Masseria, Rothstein, etc. to die randomly, but there are plenty of other characters who are either fictional or not as well known and they could easily be killed off at any time. Take Harrow, for example. I was afraid...

I was at the Nordstrom Rack last weekend (only place I can find a good selection of reasonably priced size 14 shoes) and I'm pretty sure I tried on a pair of Ecco dress shoes. They were really comfortable, but they cost like 150 dollars I believe. I had to settle for a cheaper pair of Calvin...

I have a hard time seeing it as a low scoring game on both sides. The Redskins defense is mediocre at best, especially the secondary, so if it IS a close game, it will be because both offenses are going berserk and racking up points. Unfortunately, as much as I love the Skins' offense, I have a...

When you're a hairy guy it's always good to wear a shirt because no one likes looking at that shit.

Like you said, it depends on the industry, job, and region. Salaries will vary wildly as those three variables change. I actually have a similar background: B.A Linguistics Fluent Russian ESL in Kazakhstan for 2 years In Washington, D.C I was making about 22k a year working at a...

The fact that they did something as shocking as killing off Jimmy really made season 3 exciting for me. I never knew who was safe in any given episode.

Positioning is probably one of the hardest parts of the game. It's almost like a chess match, where you need to think several moves ahead and try to predict where your opponent is going to place his pieces in relation to yours. I'm still pretty bad at it as well, but it gets easier with practice.

Seahawks are going to destroy Washington, sadly. There are probably hits out for him in DC and Baltimore, no surprise he had to flee across the country.

Early EQ on my low 30s wizard in South Karana and I ran across Quillmane. Started trying to kite it but kept getting resists and was on the verge of death when a 40ish ranger shows up and saves my ass rather than letting me die to take it for himself. Cloak drops, I "accidentally" loot it and...

Has anyone ordered a shirt from Shirt.Woot recently? My favorite graphic tees were from there, but the last time I ordered was years ago when American Apparel made the shirts. The thing I liked about their shirts (other than the graphics) was that they were long and slim, with narrower sleeves...

I'd take a bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos and a big glass of milk over everything in this thread.

How is this thread so slow compared to the FOH one? I blame Eomer being in a relationship. Anyway, I went ahead and signed up for eHarmony 2 weeks ago. I already like it more than PoF simply because the price (fucking expensive) seems to keep most of the bums and weirdos away. Their...

I haven't played the sequel, but the original Orcs Must Die is worth 8.74 by itself. It's an absolutely amazing game, assuming you're a fan of tower defense.

I see. I love the game, but the interface and user-friendliness of it leaves a lot to be desired. Anyway, thanks for organizing all this.

Good idea doing a short test season. I'd volunteer to help but I'm pretty damn busy this week so I'm not sure I'd be much use. Regarding scheduling conflicts, is there an option to play games via e-mail (i.e one player takes a turn, sends it to their opponent who can take a turn at his/her...

I don't think it's a matter of nitpicking, but just questions that a lot of people have after reading the 4 big books (The Hobbit and LOTR trilogy). I'm sure a lot of stuff might be explained in other sources and the Silmarillion, but most people don't go that far into the lore of Middle Earth...

I understand why she couldn'ttakethe ring anywhere. The same reason Gandalf refuses to touch it. However, with all that power at her disposal, why couldn't she stroll down to the gates of Mordor as a distraction rather than let Aragon lead a suicide mission? It always struck me that she (and...

My biggest fashion problem is finding jeans that fit well. While I'm not fat, my widest point is my hips/thighs so while a size 34 or 36 pair of jeans might fit no problem around my waist, they're super tight in the hips and thighs. This results in having to go up a size, which makes the waist...

You might be right about Gandalf, but there are some pretty powerful characters and their immense power is explicitly stated or shown. Galadriel and Glorfindel, for example. I think someone in this thread mentioned before how Galadriel basically single-handedly destroys Dol Guldur towards the...
