Re: And now, for your daily dose of cute... Maggie seems fed up with it by the end, but they have another video where it appears that she is resigned to her fate and a source of amusement for Dude.

Re: "Neat" Pictures I loved that show.

Re: A Thread for Random Videos That was actually very cool.

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Ditto. Except I saw it here in Atlanta. I was really happy to see the age range of people that went to see it. As I was walking out, a young girl (14ish) walked out with her best friend and said: "I'm so glad you liked it. That's my favorite movie." It's moments like those that give me hope for humanity.

Re: "Neat" Pictures It's like playing "Where's Waldo?" The Guild are in there, various Star Wars cosplayers some of us have seen, the Robot Chicken Seths, and quite a few other people. You'll probably have to download to get a good look. And I love the Ralph McQuarrie posters. [ATTACH=CONFIG]43895[/ATTACH]

Re: Superpunk I'm assuming this a reference to Iron Man in "Civil War" and the solutions included: 1) Building a metahuman army 2) Building a metahuman prison 3) Having metahumans register with the government.

Re: The cranky thread

Re: The cranky thread THIS. It took me a long time to learn this and I am finally with a woman that lets me practice this art and also understands that I am a self-destructive monster with delusions of hero-dom. She lets me try and save the day and I shut up and listen.

Re: The cranky thread There is little in life more frustrating to people I love than when they ask me "can I help?"

Re: The cranky thread Not surprisingly, I've been there and I've tell you something that worked for me that I developed a long time ago. Warriors/Heroes/Problem Solvers have only one prayer, just one: "Today, let me be invincible." Not tomorrow, not next week, just today. Because, sometimes is all you can manage is today. When I found out that my ex-wife was cheating on me with my best friend, I couldn't just break down, I had to go to work, I had to live in a house with her, I had no friends (or, at least I didn't think I did), and I had to take care of my kids. There was no one to lean on -- and I'm not used to leaning on anyone. Now, I don't know your current situation, but I understand what it feels like. Your breathing gets shallow and you feel like there is no escape and every straw builds up on the camel's back. You only have so much that you can take and only so much you can give and, as hard as that is to recognize and admit, that's how "invincible" you can be. You know who you are and how tough you are. Set your limits, find another tough guy to talk to (there are plenty of us around) and take a deep cleansing breath, force a real smile, and dare the world to throw something else at you, because you ARE invincible.

Re: The cranky thread This. I had several exes that said the same thing. My career has been problem solving. I'm a good man, but not necessarily A nice man. The last Ex used to tell me "you can't save everyone" and I disagreed. If not me, then who? And when you're saving the world, you really don't have time to complain.

Re: The cranky thread Amen brother. Around my friends it is referred to a "Vimes' 'Tight' smile" -- because it doesn't touch my eyes.

Re: The cranky thread The retaining wall next to my driveway started crumbling due to last night's rains. Hopefully I can get it repaired for under $3k. Wouldn't be a big deal, except that I just dropped $3.6k to replace my A/C unit.

Re: "Neat" Pictures She's been known to pounce.

Re: "Neat" Pictures She "perches" all over the place

Re: "Neat" Pictures Yes she is. I come home once a week to some awesome something perched on my desk.
