Pattern Ghost

I can't wait for The Aeronaut's Windlass.

I'm glad they caught the little bastard.

I'm more concerned about the first 130-odd rounds. Seems like an extreme overreaction to a car backfiring. Apparently murdering people for emissions violations is OK.

If I was the second (African American) guy, I'd never have volunteered for that experiment.

"So," The Bear said, "You come to my cave for the secret of Ursine steel , do you?"
 
"Such is my quest," The human said earnestly, hope in his voice but it was a hope he dared not hold onto too tightly. The Bears had guarded their secrets closely from humans, and with good reason. None of them had forgiven the actions of the human King Colbert the First and that mad monarch's reign had tainted human bear relations to this day.
 
The bear scratched his chin, "Not far from here, you will find a greedy and selfish ranger! A woodland warrior who has ever vexed me."
 
The human nodded slowly. He had heard of this fellow, a man by the name of Smith, "I know of him. It would be easier to defeat him with ursine steel," He said hopefully.
 
The bear laughed, "No little human, I do not wish him killed. Bring me Smith's treasure, bring me, his picnic basket."
 
The human winced. This would be no easy achievement. The Bear was setting him to a task that the bear himself hadn't achieved. He should have known. Any animal with the secret to Ursine Steel had to be smarter than the average bear.

I agree that life in prison with no parole would have been a more fitting sentence. Probably actually less expensive for the taxpayer in the long run, too.

Exactly! Chefs don't use new ingredients when coming up with a dish, just combine them in new ways.

Recent law enforcement abuses, as well as a constant trickle of reports of flawed DNA evidence processing, forced confessions, and sheer mistaken identity have all turned me pretty solidly against capital punishment.

The Onion: Tsarnaev Death Penalty A Warning To Any Other Religious Fanatics Hoping To Be Martyred

CinemaSins is like TV Tropes. I really dislike deconstructionism when it comes to my entertainment. It really robs the enjoyment out of the product. So I agree wholeheartedly with this sentiment. In fact, I would extend that "less" to "no."

I plan on watching it.
 
Having Dean Cain and Helen Slater play Kara's Earth parents is a great casting gag.

Did your vet discuss insurance with you? I haven't tried it, but my vet mentioned this insurance when I took my avatar in for surgery a while back: http://www.petinsurance.com/plans-and-coverage/bird-and-exotic-pet-insurance.aspx

This hits a lot of my buttons so it's no surprise I hope she takes them to the cleaners and other employees join in for their share. This #### needs to be stomped on so hard it leaves a crater. 

Well, despite the "I'm not sure if I'm bulletproof" comment they clearly aren't nerfing the power level given shoulder blocking a semi. That makes me happy.

HUGS!
