Crocefisso

Given that Jesus founded the world's largest religion, and Santa is just a mutation of one of many of this religion's saints, I'm pretty sure Jesus would win.

Selected Haiku - Please note: all these three line verses are standalone. Winter’s morning Sun shines On dew covered grass Darkening skies Swans glide Over the water ripples Splash – Stone falls in well Quiet echoes Kite soars above - The floating world below A wry smile Old friend... Forever lost In this floating world On forest's floor Pool of moonlight... Silver shimmers The floating world Of Saikaku's dreams Has long since floated away An Old Waka Willow over the river - A single leaf descends

The View The moon is dead - absent. On the streets below, streetlights glow. In the windows all around, lights flicker. Even the stars have fallen behind the orange glow of the sky.

Looking at this thread, I wonder why we don't just make a new one for 'Sam's Real Life Pictures'? :P

I've never looked at this thread so forgive me if this has been mentioned already, but English phoenetics are nonsense. Yacht is just one example.

On a slightly more normal note, as a subject of the Crown I am worried for the health of our beloved racist consort.

I also don't know what a fundie is.

My, my, would you look at that - your Editorial Panel application seems to have somehow fallen the wrong side of acceptable... :twisted:* [spoiler=*]*(Disclaimer: the EP doesn't actually work like this, for all those who take things literally)

*Tennessee Also, how can you love this state? It's almost a day before Christmas and it's raining. It's so depressing. It isn't really raining here. That and I don't care about Christmas. You don't care about Christmas but your avatar has a christmas hat on? Eh eh?

Today was a very boring day consisting of some rather dry work I couldn't crack down to, owing to its dryness.

Still, we're not going to reject a good editor just because they don't play RS anymore. This is only likely to be a consideration if we can't decide.

I might buy this just for the sake of Cave Story+.

Yep.

Today I did my Christmas shopping, and have spent the rest of the day writing a short story and my Times article.

The problem I have when buying clothes is that, as a man, most dresses don't suit me. I had the same issue, which is why I have such a small warddrbe and prefer to wear running track pants (which was one of my best investments even though I rarely go running) and a t-shirt. Worse is finding clothes that suit me in size because I have size 13 feet and most shoes I find in stock are 11-11 1/2 at best. :-D You do know I was joking, right?

I've always hated those tie-in books for film or TV series' - they're never any good.

My view exactly.

Oh, so widespread famines and an awful economy don't make for a delicate domestic situation? Though the economy is indeed in a dire state, the famine ended in 1998 and the economy has been improving for years; when it was at its worst in the 1990s, there were no signs of unrest at all. Why should there be in better times. Meanwhile, the regime has continued the most thorough indoctrination of a nation and has some 9 million troops at its disposal - as much as we may wish it, we cannot lie to ourselves that the regime is anything other than strong when compared to Gaddafi, Mubarak, Ben Ali, or any other of this year's fallen dictators. You were right in saying that the fall of the North Korean regime is an eventuality as per the USSR, but in terms of that analogy, then Kim Jong-il's death is comparable to Stalin's, or perhaps Brezhnev's at best - there is still a long way to go. 9 million? Try 1.2 million. source I agree that it's stronger than the arab dictatorships, I just don't see it as an impossibility that it could fail. But time will tell. Of course the US State Department is going to downplay the size of NK's armed forces. According to the International Institute for Strategic Studies in Britain, the Korean People's Army in 2010 had 1.1 million active personnel and 8.2 million reserve. But let's not get bogged down in fact throwing. I just wish I could share your optimism over the short term future of North Korea.

Ignore them. Get Skyrim.

All this thread proves is that training alone cannot be fun - shame, seeing as it makes up the majority of the game.

If Jagex knew that Blizzard was being discussed on these forums, they'd probably remove Tip.It's gold status. :-D
