You look very like a young Sir Patrick Stewart there.

Patrick Stewart as Sejanus has hair still.
Granted in 10 years I will look more like Picard, but I'm not quite there yet.

whats a discordian?

Why haven't you figured it out by now?

Is there a specific pidgeon hole for Discordians?

Aren't words just weird sounds with fairly vague meanings attached to the syllabic combinations?

Are words not for categories, and are categories not pigeonholes?

According to the news today, George.W.Bush now has a facebook account. If I had one, I'd add him as a friend, just for the crack. But I don't. And I'm not opening one just to add him, because that would be really sad. 

Though it might be kinda fun to spam him with farmville requests.

Twid, actually did that with a Dem running for state office (application was Knighthood, not Farmville. Fun to have a politician as a subject)

Yeah, bit of a giveaway, that.

The English know when they're being referrred to as well.

QuoteTwid, raised in Irish republican household.

Ah, but I didn't specify /which/ Isle. I could have capitalized Isle for a totally stupid reason and meant Sri Lanka or something. =P

The Isle in question is understood in context: Britain

Edit: especially where you specifically mentioned England in your post.

What were you looking this kind of thing up for, Vene? "CRITICAL PARANOIAC ROCKING HORSE OF WONDERLAND"?  :lulz:

....the only "shamans" left in the world, the only ones that really existed tojavascript:void(0); begin with in the strictest sense are the folk spiritual practitioners in Mongolia and Russia, in the taiga, the steppe and around Lake Baikal. Hell they made the word "shaman" and should be the /only/ people to use it.
Wrong. Hmong and various indigenous religions have shamans. /pedantic

Zyzyx is right on this-
The Hmong have shamans as we understand the word, but the word itself is more appropriately tied to Russian Native Animism.
For example, Native Americans don't have shamans, they have medicine men. Same thing but cultural difference/different religion. Different word should be used. Shaman is used in English as a blanket term, but doesn't mean it's accurate.

Don't you think a carrot is funny enough on it's own, without comparing it to things like asparagus?

Do you think that the two combined would be the basis of good humor?
Do you think that between us, we could even tell good humour from a hole in the ground?

How big is the hole?
Big enough, don't you think?
Should we give it a fucking rest, or chuck him in the hole?

Would it be wrong to chuck him in the hole?
Would that be humo(u)rous?

@Freeky- Normally would be welcome fought off weakly but I don't think my gf would be too keen on the concept. Nevermind that you live a couple of thousand miles away (presuming that I am correct in that you live in Arizona)
@Zyzyx and BadBeast- I was born in 1981...

Never seen 'em. I rarely watch TV (why would I when I have the internet?) so I must have missed it.

It was basically like, mom leaves daughter with friends in the mall. They wave goodbye to each other all mother and daughter like, and then mother gets on the iPhone and tracks her location.

Yeah, there's an app for that too.

QuoteI see that you've seen that movie with Heath Ledger and the other actress and actor in Knight's Tale. Forget what it was called. Oh, wait, "The Order"

I have no idea what you're talking about there. Apparently you do, though. =P

You should see it. It's not a great movie, but it has a bit of a cool shtick. Sin Eating is part of the plot line.

Very nice, Nurse! Creepy and that interviewer was kind of distressingly perky.

Don't forget GPS functions in family phones.  Why trust your kid when you can track them via sattelite?
We have this on our family's phones, because the middle sister is a proven liar and prone to disappearing for hours (and they can't just apply it to her phone and leave everyone else's alone). There are legit uses for it, honestly.

You gotta admit though, the commercials for it were creepy...
