  2. Double double quotes. Seriously? This crap won out over bash?

  4. Because the clogged drain wasn't unclogged the last time the server room flooded.
  5. Tribble vs. Bazza Ultimate Thunderdome Deathmatch!
  6. X-Files Returning For 10-Episode Season Release the Tribble!
  7. PANTSLESS PANDIGITAL PROPELLER SPECIAL MOVE whooshwhooshwhooshwhooshwhoosh
  8. It's odd how Europe tends to get hit with terrorist attacks right before elections are held. It's almost as though they're related somehow.
  9. (1 + 9^(-4^(6 × 7))^3^2^85 +0 FULL PANDIGITALITY UNLOCKED
  10. I actually don't think the premise was that flawed, any more than the original Dirty Dozen was flawed. SS could have been about a bunch of freakish antiheroes thrown together on this impossible mission, overcoming their differences along the way, and succeeding where others assumed (or wanted) them to fail. And there was a little of that in what we got. But it was poorly executed and diluted with too much extraneous crap.
  11. I feel like that kind of thing happens hundreds of times per day. Or is it news because they actually got caught?
  12. At least he died doing what he loved: killing people. (Stolen from another board.)
  13. "Congrats, you survived the Boston Marathon!"
  14. You must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. You will face your fear. You will permit it to pass over you and through you. And when it has gone past you will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only you will remain.
  15. Please don't post pictures of your fetishes, this is a family message board.
  16. It makes sense in the context of the premise, but it's still a poor way to introduce characters to the viewer. Then it's even more inexcusable that SS did such a bad job of introductions. In fact it's good that you brought up Slipknot and Katana, who I surmise are full members of the comic SS but are totally incidental to the film. In fact I'd argue that the movie would actually have been better off without them, especially Katana, whose movie presence was incredibly contrived and pointless. On the other hand SS won more Academy Awards than all the MCU films put together, so there's that.
  17. I've often fantasized about mounting a bulldozer blade on the front of a large pickup for such instances. Sadly, I can't afford a bulldozer blade. Or a pickup. In fact I can't even afford needed repairs to my current vehicle. So a fantasy it shall remain, for the foreseeable future.
  18. Exactly. As has been pointed out above, GotG introduced its characters organically, while SS literally read its characters' dossiers to us. In a way that made the characters out to be the unsympathetic villains that they were. Then again SS had twice as many members to introduce, so that didn't help.
  19. Then what do you do with the chicken?
  20. Boston Marathon motivational sign:
