The voice effect on Bane was an awful choice, as it made some of his dialogue much harder to catch. I've heard several people basically couldn't make it out at all, depending on the theater's sound setup. I haven't seen the film, obviously, but I'm sure I will sometime, and that's definitely someth...

Re: The Compleat Lovecraftian Bar Guide
Ingredients in some of these other "exotic" cocktails include absinthe, opium, laudanum, and cantharides (the latter two in a recipe attributed to Aleister Crowley, "Kubla Khan #2"). We've been drinking a good amount of absinthe around here lately, and, though there may be a bit...

Start slow, and communicate well. More specifically, it really depends on what you're looking for. If she just wants to be tied to the bed and fucked, then that scenario kind of writes itself: get some rope and go to town. I'm sure you can at least tie a knot . If you don't have a sturdy headboard, ...

It's really kind of shocking how much of an idiot Rick Santorum is. The fact that some people are somehow not embarrassed to be represented by him is pretty sad. My state's ears are burning. It's not even that I disagree with his various retarded ideas, it's just that he's one of the stupidest peop...

I don't have children, so I feel not entirely qualified to comment on these issues, but I don't imagine myself playing the Santa card. I was a bit of a precocious non-believer, like I suspect most of us here were, but my family definitely did the Santa thing, though I honestly don't feel like it enr...

Ever edited the 'pedia?
I was just adding a few details to a Wikipedia article that I am particularly well-qualified to edit, and I decided to go back and check on some of the other random things I recall contributing over the years. I was surprised to see that most of what I added to the plot synopsis of The Tempest is st...

I was disappointed at their choice to continue exploring Batman as a father. I get why some people could find appeal in it-but frankly it's a little too butch ghey for me.

I thought this deserved it's own thread.
