Open Discussion – July 1, 2009

So in a way, we beat you! :-D

A lot better, thank you. :)

I think that the Swine flu has been downgraded to 'ordinary flu' in Australia. Last time I looked we had over 5000 cases, and the USA had 30'000!

Hope you and your daughter are improving, by the way. We're starting to get the first serious cases of Swine Flu over here and it's no fun, I know.

LOL, Gottarhyme! I quite like the way the Aussies have kinda done it in reverse and taken over Newquay in Cornwall - Pommieland's one and only "surftown" - and declared it an Independent State of Australia!

Thanks 'guys'.

July 4th is Independence Day from 'Mother England', right?

Damn, I wish we would ndo that too!

Vic, when you said that, I thought of a quote from a Michael Bay movie I DID like: "I'll take pleasure in guttin' you, boy" lol

@ gottarhyme. I believe Guy Fawkes night is November 5th and in the UK.

I take no pleasure in using it.

Vic

@ Vic

Man that's a neat tool to have at your disposal..

I unpublished the post because I thought the tone was over the top.

Vic

What happened to the Brandon Routh/Superman thread that was posted today??!

Gottarhyme

Its not Guy Fawkes night yet,,, but stay tuned......

"These vampires are as romantic as Rectal Cancer."
Thats a quote from Guillermo Del Toro last night on Charlie Rose talking about the vampires in his new book that he co wrote with Chuck Hogan The Strain
his vampires are purely bloodsuckers.
No romance or seduction involved .
Great interview .
Has anybody read The Strain?

790 I'd much rather have a movie with Will Smith to bring in the 4th than Transformers : (

Gottarhyme, Guy Fawkes night is when the English put an effigy of Edward Woodward in a wicker barrel and roll him down a hill on fire. It's the only way to ensure a bountiful harvest, y'know...

@790: Or a Tom Cruise one! LOL!

Hey, thats right, Happy 4th of July, Americans!

Is that Guy Fawkes night? What is the meaning behind that holiday?

Finally a 4th of July weekend without a fricken Will Smith film...

El Ron must be spinning in his grave.

Anyone interested in Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs? Bueller? I've 'reviewed' it with my son: www.youtube.com/gabndad

It was Canada Day yesterday, but happy 4th to you all!

I was reading that Staples Center here in LA is going to charge fans of Micheal Jackson $25 bucks to attend the memorial next monday. Interesting as Staples center is owned by AEG, the same group of lowlife scum that was behind the "This is It" tour.

The greed and evil that surrounded this guy is amazing...

@790
there are sooooooooo many writers in the world or people who claim to be... i'm pretty sure someone could write up something for them to have a reason to fight. If they have been able to make batman vs superman why not that... and those were both good guys.

Hey Daniel, thanks. I was really looking forward to having them. I love visitors. A New York Cab Driver came and stayed with me last year, he was great! I have no idea what was wrong with these people.

I think most 'normal' people would at least buy their host dinner, or at least pay for their own food while they're here! *shrugs* Well, I decorated the guest room, it looks great now. :)

My family hope I've learned my lesson. LOL! Laugh? I nearly did! ;)

Sorry to hear about the terrible guests Gottarhyme. I make it a policy to spend my money when I'm staying at someones place. I even buy them food while I'm there so I'm putting them out as little as possible. Hell I buy my friends food and other things just when we are hanging out let alone when I'm staying there.

LOL! This reminds me of the episode of 'Angel' when the question was:

In a fight, who would win? Cavemen or astronauts?

I reckon cavemen... :)

Who would win in a fight between Batman and Ironman? Or Wolverine and Optimus Prime? Superman and Wonderwoman? Buffy and Hellboy? OK, now I'm getting silly.

Must be the pills...

Good to hear you're feeling better, your daughter might like it that you have no voice to yell at her, lol. Just kidding.

Its just that they're both good guys,,,, Jago,,,,

@790

why not...? thats the real question... i mean to me it would be real interesting just because they seem like if they switched placed from marvel to dc they would be that... batman would be iron man and vice versa... but maybe that's just me. We all have things we want... you wanted a better T4 right? and i would like to see this...

@ 790 and Ken J Awwww, thanks guys. The Doctor told me that I am lucky I got the Swine flu now, in point of fact...apparently the Spanish flu was initially 'mild' in the first wave, but then it mutated, and killed people. 8-O

'Twelve Monkeys' indeed...

My daughter is fine. A week off school! :)
Although the coughing, vomiting, Diarroreah, muscle aches and fever weren't much fun! Feeling better now. Just have no voice!

@zibe

You wish, lol, they helped me with everything from moving the big furniture, all the little stuff, even help keep my cat calm while i drove her to the new house, lol, she hates car rides, she freaks out...

@gottarhyme

Sorry to hear about the swine flu though, but don't worry, it seems to have a mortality rate equal to or lower than the regular flu, so you and your daughter should be fine.

No offensive Jago but why would you want to see Batman and Ironman fight each other,,,, I don't get that ???
