New British TV can be good, tho

I've been watching the First Doctor this week. I tried to watch something modern & everything was so fucking fast I had to stop it to figure out what was happening. :dunce

Happy Ice Day Everyone!

Fuck that, I love old british TV.

Well, I love some of it.

It's usually really bad and doesn't date well. But then what does? Eh.

When my explanation of why I like something involves the phrases "If you look at it in context..." or "For it's time..."; then I'm just going to back down and say it is bad. :(

I rate the Marx Brothers as having produced some of the best films ever. They are still b-movies and difficult for a lot of people to watch.

I had to take classes to understand what the hell was going on in Shakespeare's plays. I imagine it is much the same deal.

Did the Chaplin Time Traveller story hit the folks in this corner of the web? I liked that.

:lol

That's probably more the fault of the language evolving than the work itself, Pub

Or you're stupid. I mean, it's ostensibly still english, and you can kinda guess what all the archaic words mean via context.

Macbeth is the most awesome thing he wrote.

I was the swotty kid that knew what it all meant and was smarmy when anyone else didn't know. :x

I like to say things that endear me to the dullards around me. :)

Whoops! Broke character! :eek

I'LL GIVE YOU FOUR INCHES OF STUPID IN YOUR ASS, BOYO! >: :yum :orgasm

There we go. Small dick/homosexual comments to the rescue. The gay is saved. :eek

Someone explain Dungeons and Dragons to me, briefly.

I think I understand the basic idea, a more free-form version of a board game that massive nerds utilize as a vehicle for storytelling, but I've not really grasped why it's a big deal. Then again, the furthest I've gotten in tabletop gaming is collectible card games. YuGiOh, specifically, which I played because my attention span didn't allow for productive games of Magic. Also, every single Magic game I ever played was completely one-sided, in which I'd manage to get three land cards and one monster out on the field before being utterly and embarrassingly annihilated.

Since I'm a massive fag and something of an emo I'd consider trying my hand at a game of Vampire: The Masquerade if the Old World of Darkness stuff wasn't out of print, if only to troll people by being a fishmalk or inciting fisticuffs inside fatally-enforced neutral zones.

Never played. I've tried card games and tabletop miniatures. I always get beaten by those lucky chaps that have the time and inclination to learn a billion game rules from a thick tome they always carry but never open. I think it is about hanging with your friends and never quite getting to the circle jerk over the beautiful lady that is totally into you that your party just saved from a dragon.


I envy them so much. :(

I liked this story just from the first page: http://emcarroll.com/comics/faceallred/01.html

that's a nice story

Speaking of British TV, a friend let me borrow her Jeeves and Wooster DVDs. While I can observe the fact that it is pretty funny, I can't get past the stuffiness and color-scheme of the show. Everything is fucking brown, man. Gross

from what I learned in the Saturday morning cartoon, there were these kids who went to the amusement park one day and they got on this rollercoaster. But then the rollercoaster track went all kerfuckety and they ended up in a magic land where this little guy looked Asian but wasn't and there was this unicorn that acted like a dog. Also, the black chick wore a fur bikini and was able to pole vault over shit with a glowing stick.

hope that helps

It is No-Shave November, coming off of Octobeard, which I couldn't participate in.

Everyone must participate. >:

Sorry, not in.
