I would really like Darth Vader's light saber from Star Wars. :) OK, a little more seriously, I would love to have the glaive from Krull. I've also always wanted Han Solo in carbonite as a coffee table - my wife cringes in (feigned?) embarrassment at my geekness when I mention this. Oh, and while I'...

This just proves that you can't please all of the people all of the time - and Obama isn't trying to do that. I think it is a smart move - emphasizing where they agree, and agreeing to disagree on the other things. The rainbow groups have to lodge their complaints to keep their activist cred, but if...

Charn shrugs, "We cannot leave them bound - that be cruel, no matter what hardness they hold in their hearts. Their defeat be punishment enough. Let us continue to Scragnoth." "Be the rest of you hale enough to travel? I have but minor benisons left - lest we rest and I pray for resto...

Cookie Day was just yesterday - where the M-i-L and her mother get together with my wife to make a set of cookies. This is oft traumatic, as these ladies don't always get along. [Mind you, I always escape most of the ordeal - this year it was to watch Quantum of Solace] Upon my return, I saw that ev...

My dad's donated something like 125 times..I guess I should keep up the family tradition. 8O DUDE! That's almost 16 gallons of blood.... i.e, a good horror movie's worth of blood! 8O For me, I plan to continue the great 2008 start I've gotten on healthy living - continue 6days/wk running and workou...

True but from what I have seen on the web on this, Visa and MC are very reluctant to drop anyone for this violation. Those that were turned in found that they could give a 'discount' of (insert amount here) per sale for those that pay with with cash or check. Which doesnt violate the agreement at a...

Actually, stores that do that are violating the agreements they have with Visa and MC. They aren't allowed to charge a fee for use, and can be dropped for doing so.

Big retailers are having big credit problems, because once they achieved a certain critical mass - back when credit flowed like insults at a Friar's club roast - they found out they could make 2-5x the money by becoming creditors and offering branded store cards... this is really coming back to haun...

Apparently, having no credit history is just as damning as having a bad one. And no matter how many other types of payment histories one has, the credit card makes a big impression - I am assuming that it has something to do with the fact that it is one of the only credit history items not secured w...

Charn moves to block any shot that the crossbow-wielders might have against Irian, brandishing his mace at the foe. He shouts,
"Stay your hands, lest the light of day be struck from your eyes!"

Solaris Sempre! Glad to have you back, DM!

I'd like to apologise for Australia . Had the United States released a movie called 'United States' it would be slammed for being too patriotic, instead Baz 'talentless hack' Lurhman releases this turgid piece of rubbish and it's seen as helping 'my nation's' tourism. Please do not see it. :haha: L...

This one I like a lot - it is honest, funny, and nauseating all at the same time.
