My nephew's dad died yesterday. I don't know what to say. I don't know what to feel. He was a prick, he rarely saw his son, when he and my sister were together he cheated on her constantly and did so much else to make me hate him, but now he's gone. He was one of my closest friends in primary school...

It brought that to mind for me too. Sadly it also reminded me of a terrible comedy skit I once saw called 'Donna of the Dead.'

For the record in the english version they actually say du. For some reason the french translation got the french right...

So I'm sick. Not just runny nose, bit of a headache sick but cough up a lung, throat so raw I can barely talk and when I do it usually starts another coughing fit sick. A friend gave me a lift home and had to pull over so I could throw up... I never throw up. But you know what? I could live with all...

My stepmother makes the best toblerone cheesecake ever. EVER. Even I can't resist it, and I rarely eat sweet foods. Actually she really just kicks ass at making desserts in general. She's awesome.

I loves me some failbook. The most briliant and the most moronic things people will ever say, saved for posterity. http://cheezfailbooking.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/funny-facebook-fails-man-spider.jpg http://cheezfailbooking.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/funny-facebook-fails-whos-doomed-to-be-single...

What I want is something that can take several thousand songs, play through them in a relatively random order without getting unresponsive, and I can control with the media buttons on my keyboard. Trixy uses winamp, has all her songs on one playlist on random and controls it via keyboard shortcuts,...

Inorite? Glow in the dark dinosaur money. I haven't been this excited about currency since they started putting tits on the twenties.

A challenger appears!

If an opponent casts a spell and I attempt to counter it by tapping a Disruptive Pitmage , am I able to wait until that has resolved to do something else, for example if my opponent decides to pay the one mana to still cast the spell can I then attempt another counterspell to stop it or have I left ...

I think Geoff hit the nail on the head there - proximity makes it more... affecting, I guess. Definitely more memorable. Nothing that big has really happened anywhere near me, so my opinion is probably a bit skewed. There's an element of hope there too I guess. Anders' psych eval came up with him as...

I was three months old during the Hungerford massacre and only 9 years for the Dunblane massacre, so I'll have to chalk them up as before my time. I knew about the Soham murders, and have long considered the Jamie Bulger case to be one of the biggest faith in humanity destroyers I can think of, but ...

Being buried alive while hugging your own corpse though? That's commitment.

In EDH format does the commander itself count as one of the non-repeatable cards in the deck? I'm assuming it does, because I can think of several problems that could arise if it doesn't, but I can also think of some exploits if it doesn't. Also I think Brothers Yamazaki is a cool card.

If your drawing is crap, then you're using the wrong material. Actually you're thinking of my brief foray into sculpting. Come to think of it, that was only slightly before my girlfriend at the time left me... huh. Fayili, I honestly can't remember a time when your av was not a mug. Not a bad pictu...

I did read the article, and had actually read one of the articles it linked to beforehand. As a gamer, I... don't feel repressed at all. I don't believe that 'the man' is trying to use this case to 'get me down.' The idea of someone honing their marksmanship through Call of Duty (as one of the artic...

"We need to do an article on that murdery guy. What's new with him?" "Ah, nothing really sir. We already did an article on him when last we got something new. It was a whole hour ago though, I'll take a look... Yeah, nothing." "Well find something dammit!" "Uhh... ...

He'd probably just start putting notes up in the institute hallways about how someone (who shall remain nameless) left fragments of burning obsidian lying around, which is a flagrant violation of school rules as well as being a health hazard to the students, and looking meaningfully at Chad during X...

Brotherhood costume?

Honestly? In 21 years, noone but the victims' closest will remember his name. Once he is sentenced that families and the media will keep it in the public eye for another year or so, expressing their anger at the leniency of his punishment and so on, the media might remind people with a "and aft...

The prohibition against killing is rooted in survival instinct, and rules against thievery are a logical progression of the concept of ownership. Though the specifics change, 'thou shalt not kill' predates a pair of tablets from the mountain top.

Oop, ninja'd by someone who words goodlier.
