it's like an episode of "Read or Die" staring Nigel, co written by Giger, Gaiman, and Dali.

oh wow.
(with that smilie i'm going for more like "awestruck" than "shocked" btw)

Some of the comments are interesting.

ROGER DID WTC.  TWICE.

First the one tower, then the other.  (Unless you meant both the thing that happened in the earily 1990s and the thing that happened in the early 2000s.)

Roger and Nigel are responsible for the endangerment of the prairie squid and the tree octopus.

Found a ten-year-old pic of myself

lovely!

but what i want to know is, what was in the bottles?

heh, i wonder if this flying shark eats tree octopi. 

haha, i *thought* this would have something to do with William S Burroughs

Finally finished The Hobbit, now reading American Gods.

i'm part-German, part-Cornish (and other English), part-Irish, part-French, part-Dutch, part-Danish (by adoption), and 25% unknown.
i used to think i was part-Welsh.  now i'm not sure.  (was proud of being part-Welsh too...had a mini identity crisis when i found out i migh not be, lol)
to the person who is/may be related to Abe Lincoln: so is my friend's daughter, evidently.

The Hobbit.

Nigel, sadly i know some people who think like that.
including at least one good friend of mine
ugghghghgh drives me nuts

thinking to myself that Mr. Temple is not doing a very good job of supporting his argument -- most of which depends upon multilingual puns in dead languages.

sounds a little like Graves' The White Goddess

today finished A Wizard of Earthsea
tomorrow will (re)start The Princess and the Goblin

If that doesn't work, just start asking him to "move over there, please" until he finally asks you why yo keep asking him to move. then tell him you need liebensraum.

Here's the thing:  If pot is YOUR religion, great.  Go home and become one with the couch.  For ME, though, I don't NEED pot, because I'm high on HATE¹.  Just don't tell me about your 180-whatever-smoke-every-day evangelistic BULLSHIT, or I'll do to YOU what I just did to some MORMONS last week.  Because it's THE SAME FUCKING THING.

what *did* you do to the Mormons last week?

The UK has a very similar thing when it comes to Poles.  Most employers I have spoken to, especially in the services or manufacturing industry, prefer to hire Poles when possible, even if they are only going to be temporary staff, because they're generally see as having a superior work ethic and positive attitude when compared with English workers.

I can't say I'd disagree with that general outlook, either.

We had a lot of that here too, but what I saw in retail was "won't complain about illegal conditions" and "will leave with out a fuss when not wanted" as opposed to positive attitudes.

Both happen here, though i must admit that working with people who speak neither dutch or english is fucking frustrating no matter how hard they work.
Also, constantly being called 'kurva' by one specific smug looking pole is getting on my nerves. I know what it means, i just don't want to get blood on my fists today.
Hmmm, ok better idea: next time he starts cursing at me again i will fucking overpower him with creative cursewords. I will insult relatives/organs/friends/principles he didnt even know he had.

I think i will start off with calling him a cutesy little brony, just because he looks like manliness is important to him.

what does "kurva" mean?  Google Translate won't tell me....
