Um, EEVIL, you're not allowed to edit posts ...
On the topic of Arbitor, how do we figure he's the big guy again?

Nobody likes you when you have your period.
Just realised you already made the joke and I even thanked it. I think there should be a thread before the meet(can't believe how soon that is) for expectations of people, and then after how much it was true. I like questioning stuff like that.
Create one, then.
Could be interesting. -
That's probably somewhat why.
Man, your cynicism really knows no boundaries, does it?
Seriously, though, cheer up a bit, dude.

I wasn't comparing her to Tolkien because he's the "Grandfather of Modern Fantasy"; it's because he was a better, or more specifically, a less bland writer. It was also because, bar Orwell, I've read very little other fiction other than Fantasy.
The Potter series is bland (and generic) compared to all other books I've read since becoming an adult (and possibly since being a teenager).
If I'd only read the 1st Potter I'd say she were a worse writer than C.S. Lewis, but I'd have to compare the two more to come to a firmer opinion.
(Lion, W&W is better written than Potter 1 in my opinion.)
People bigging up Rowling always compare her to Roald Dahl; I find that silly, and certainly unfair.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By the way, I don't hate the Potterverse, I just think it's insanely overrated (I don't like Rowling however, but that doesn't mean I judge her writing on how she is as a person - though there are obviously going to be some reflections of her within the books).
I honestly don't get how you can call her a bland writer, but you're entitled to your opinion. What really puzzles me, though, is what you could possibly have against Rowling as a person. I don't get it - she's, like, one of the most sympathetic people I know.

...which means I've gone horribly wrong somewhere.
=p.
Yeah, it's terrifying, isn't it? :p

Happy birthday, Dazzman!
I rate you 10/10!

Really, stfu with this realism nonse. There is no realism, apart from the fact that you make your own reality. The wider rules that govern our existence can't be grasped by even the most remarkable human minds, and the sciences are only a detached, piecemeal aggregation of collective wisdom. Make your own fucking reality; just believe that you can do whatever you want, and really, what you want isn't that fucking much and doesn't come at such a great price. You're not on a fucking quest for some mythical fleece woven from the fanny strap of venus and tie dyed with the blood of Jeff Goldblum. All you're asking is for some attention from a woman; quit fortifying your own core beliefs with the continual disappointment of not actually trying. Women are as, if not more needy, insecure and neurotic as you, so going out of your way to look and act as if you're interested is often all you need to seal the deal.
Sorry, I needed to go off on one. Now I just need to take my own advice. BRB, ON A MINGE BINGE.
This is one of those very few occasions where I'm in complete and utter agreement with Bard.

Better than a sequel to Ratatouille or Up. I hated those films
What.
But ... you can't ... and Ratatouille ... Up ...
You're dead to me!

I love how some people hate the idea of the Harry Potter universe simply because its so popular. They're great children's books that adults can enjoy too, and the entire world within the books is brilliantly conceived; that's why they're so entertaining. I freaking love Pratchett (see my Uni dissertation for proof) but they're totally different books - the reason Potter is so much more popular than any other similar title is that is set in a world that we all live in.
Thank you. I fully respect people who don't like Potter, but it often strikes me that a bunch of those who dislike it don't have very good reasons for doing so. Like, comparing her to Tolkien is just silly - they both deal in magic and fantasy, that's about as far as the comparison works.

Not really. We lynched Boris, who wasn't confirmed mafia and then Sprout who was.
And ReZ killed himself on night 1. (lol)
But yeah, Eenuh has to go today. Trevelyan simply can't be good news.
Vote: Eenuh

Well, aren't you just a fucking bundle of joy! :p

That is true. But even so, I don't think anyone expected Cars 2 to be a masterpiece. Its a fun little film that doesn't try to be anything more. Plus its a merchandising powerhouse so...Looks purdy though. Wonderful environments.
Oh, definitely. It was just my impression that people found this to be Pixar's first actual "bad" movie.
-
No clearer on what it is and at the moment I have very little interest in it. I loved the books with a passion but I felt that the conclusion gave me enough closure on the world. I don't need anything more from it.
Yeah, though I wouldn't mind that lexicon she's had thoughts about that would also go into what happened later.
It's so hilarious that nobody can figure out or agree on exactly what Pottermore is. :p
-
89% want to see it. It's not a rating.
-
Early reviews of Cars 2 says its much better than the original.
And its a spy spoof. I'm already sold.
Really? I've heard it was completely panned.
-
Maybe the torturer?
It could even be the killer, seeing as there was no mafia kill.
-
Yvonne, someone tried to kill you last night. It was not me.
Actually it may not be kill, it may be something else bad, but someone attempted it!
How do you know?
-
I don't think anybody has really figured out yet exactly what it is.
-
Yay, no kill! So now two mafiosos are down; this is looking up.
Jack Wade, Yvonne's character, is a CIA agent, if that helps clear things up.
-
Or that 'trampolining' was a word.
We had some fun with that last time Gizmo posted a trampolining picture. :p

We've possibly found something capable of rivalling the old Batman series in cheesiness.

Maybe she had no money, or the guy or his family threatened her. Maybe her family/friends didn't believe her and she got no support and gave up, etc. None of us know what really happened. Along with slight sensationalism in the article, screwed up justice system, corruption and other affecting factors, maybe it's pointless to discuss it... The ones who condemn the guy: maybe he was innocent and manipulated by the girl, so you are condemning an innocent person. The ones who dismiss it as "maybe it didn't actually happen": if it really did happen, you are demeaning her and her rights. idk...
This basically sums everything up.

I'm going to resign my team from the league. I'm sorry to disappoint, but the game's just not for me. Thanks for having me while it lasted; you've been very friendly.

What up, bro? You all right?

It really is a load of bullshit when they'd already given you the holiday. Wasn't it actually part of the deal when you were hired?
