Wing it!

Who gives a shit?

Leave me alone!

If the social group blew up into small high-speed fragments (it won't), where should each character move?

Marten- California.

Dora- also California (not knowing Marten also moved there).

Faye- Texas.

Hanners- space station

Angus- Washington DC.

Penelope- somewhere less than five miles from her current residence.

Pint size- New Jersey.

I can't think of appropriate places to send anyone else.

Faye won't move to Texas.  She'd avoid anywhere "deep South".  Maybe move to New Mexico or Arizona, to get away from the cold.

Next week is definitely gonna be interesting as far as the Comic goes.

Nothing like a bit of drama to spice the Christmas season up.

I'm up for HP 7.1, too.  We always go watch a movie Turkey day while the bird's cooking, and that's one's the plan this year.  Me, the wife, the kids (17 and 20 now).  We've been through the whole shmeer, books and movies together.  When the first book came out, I read it to the girls, a chapter or two before bed each night.  Became a tradition, we did it with every book.  I used to do radio and theatre, so I do everyone's voices (Hagrid's a tough one, I'm a tenor).  A point of pride was how much Alan Rickman sounded like my version of Snape! 

Yes, we went that route also, made more interesting by the fact my daughter was roughly Harry's age as each book came out.  She actually read #7 out loud to the grownups on the drive to Texas while moving from New Jersey.  When my wife brought the first book home and insisted I read out loud, I was not pleased because I had read a great deal of fantasy in my younger days, and didn't expect a children's book to be interesting.  But Rowling had me at the end of chapter 1.

And also, I see we are getting some off-topic posts about QC in this thread.

I have the Nine Iron of Doom right here... need some reinforcement?

(And seriously - it's right here next to me, leaning next to my desk. Little on the old side, but it gets the job done.)

I'd invite you to come to my house and read the books to my  kids, voices and all, but I can't think of a way to do it that doesn't make me sound like a creepy internet freak.  Therefore...

Hey, look!  A distraction!  *points and flees*

We could talk about idiots getting the WCDT locked so it won't hit the golden 50 pages?

[Carl-E]

That's getting awfully close to the thin ice...

And Ocelott, it depends - where do you live? 

[ocelott]

I'm in the frozen wastelands of Canada.  Doesn't that just make you want to zip on over?

Which parts aren't frozen wastelands?  Vancouver?

Speaking of which, we in the Northwest would like our darn snow now please.

What is the best thing to talk about?

Katy Perry.

Yeah.
That's right.




Her I Kissed a Girl music video is feminism in a can.


Edit: Anti-thread Slain.

[Carl-E]

We did this, two weeks ago. 

Keep up. 

Oh, never mind - you're one of the recent arrivals...

 

[muffin_of_chaos]

Technically on-again, off-again longtime lurker with yearly analyses that people seem to consider boring or ignorant.  Someone in the locked thread seemed to not be done with Katy Perry...?

Anyway, how about Lady Gaga?  Is the "innovation and awesome and oh-no-she-di'n't" vs. "faux-European Madonna 1.5 dipped in utter commercialized superficiality" debate a relic of the stone age of a month ago?
Probably two hundred threads in the Music Talk....
Edit: Oh good looks like not.

[akronnick]

We covered her too, and it was week before last, not the locked thread.

[muffin_of_chaos]

Shame.

I'd just like to say I'm having a ridiculous amount of fun making incredibly poorly designed staged in SSB: Brawl.
My pride and joy so far is an attempt to make a cage from which leaving is incredibly difficult.
