My 1983 RX-7 has an access to the taillights from inside the hatch compartment.

He’d only counter my offer with a weapon of similar caliber...

Was joking.
Causing an inappropriately timed orderly exit from a theatre would be frowned upon in most civilised countries.

You have a “CONNOR?” My oldest grandson is a Connor! YAY!!! His birth surname was Duncan, but it isn’t now. His mother cheated him is SO many ways. (But don’t get me started!)

Yay, Connor!

Of course I knew you were kidding.

Actually, here in the States it’s getting to the point where telling people there’s money out in the parking lot won’t even turn heads. They get free money coming in the mail stampd “US Treasury.”

Now, telling them Taylor Swift is having a brawl with Katy Perry is a different story.

Well, I didn’t say to show it while there was time to react, did I?

But do you think Sir David will live long enough? (He IS a Sir, isn’t he...?)

Was it “Men in Black” when Edgar said, “You can have my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers!” and the bug said, “Your conditions are acceptable?

I've only ever seen the original MIB, but I would like to have them all. I'm also hoping to get the third of the Hobbit movies, soon. I need to check the price at Walmart next time I go.

And I still need #4 of Pirates of the Caribbean.

We’re up to our necks in school-y stuff, this year.

#2 son and (with any luck) #1 daughter are getting Middle Ages and Renaissance and Human Biology at the community college, this year; we’ve two wanting to take on the “One Year Adventure Novel” curriculum, I’m diving into the “Further Up and Further In” unit study with the 15y/o (yes, it’s built around The Chronicles of Narnia), and we just began our study of American History last evening with a leap back to the 14th Century and the life of John Wycliffe. The arc tracing from Tyndale to James Madison that yielded our Bill of Rights was forged in a fire he began stoking in earnest in 1378. We’ve also scheduled extended tours of architecture and electronics this year, and may dip into oceanography if diligence permits. [Must keep a carrot or two in reserve.]

When did FR go so absolutely crazy? I’m not talking about the norma stuff where you have serious dialog interspersed with drooling nincompoops. I’m talking about an entire thread that thinks Trump didn’t mean to accuse Megyn Kelly of being hormonal.

He said “wherever” for brevity and to move on instead of saying “nose?” Really? I can’t even imagine the Obama administration posing such a losing argument. (OK, actually I can, but that’s not much of a bar.)

And the idea that Democrats are supporting Trump because they support him and not to give Hillary a better shot. Are these people all from Colorado or something?

Sorry - I had to vent somewhere. I almost posted in the Trump thread but I value my sanity. Here, at least, if you disagree with me we can discuss it and I can admit if I’m proven wrong.

Not a bad idea; my wife’s something of a farm girl, and won’t flinch at slaughtering a chicken. And, too, I’ve got some boneless, skinless chicken breast I can pull out of the garage freezer...

I understand perfectly. DON’T post on a Trump thread unless you just feel like a pissing match for fun.

“The Battle of the Five Armies” was a long slog, even for a guy who normally likes car chases and exploding things. Evangeline Lilly didn’t even make up for it.

Hopefully Peter Jackson has fully funded his retirement account and can stop trying to stretch simple tales into 9 hour sagas.

Evangeline Lilly...

You’re right. I can have a little fun without taking it seriously, can’t I?

Maybe I’ll go tweak some noses.

See? Now you know why I stay here. If I had had any penchant for posting on other threads with any regularity, I would have been WAY banned a long time ago.

Welcome to the Undead Thread and it’s Haven of Sanity...that’s found in the Library on the Mezzanine...ask one of the Zombie guides for directions. Or maybe not...

*hug*

Welcome home.

Unable to find what you are looking for, but this may come in handy sometime.

Well, I figure the whole thing was about the Dwarves, and the finding of the Ring was a vehicle to move the story on to the longer saga. I see it as I think Tolkein meant it to be: A history of a People of Middle Earth, just like The Silmarillion was.

And though I’ve heard mostly not-good reviews of the first two Hobbit movies, while I found them dark, they were interesting from the standpoint of, say, an archeologist? So I want the third movie so I can finish up the entire set.
