i noticed that "slice of cake" is not an option anywhere.

It's a government-issued form. OBVIOUSLY it's going to suck and be inadequate, just like me. Fill in the 'Other' option if you feel like an underrepresented minority.

Good stuff. Also:

"It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you understand that you suck, because that is the necessary first step to NOT sucking. Look at the people who suck hardest – one of the things they all have in common is their erroneous belief that they DO NOT suck. Those of us who are aware that we DO suck strive to remedy it and thus continually improve. Those who are not aware that they suck only grow sucklier day by day." – Nenslo

I nominate 'sucklier' for Adjective of the Year.

[But that's basically the problem with any book - movie adaptation, right? How do you capture the author's words visually and still retain the original feel?]

The problem with Lovecraft is that most of his works are not able to be filmed like the story. Much of Lovecraft's appeal is in the words. When he speaks of a Squamish and Eldrich horror. its the squamish and eldrich part that tends to get the reader hooked... Squamish doesn't translate to the big screen.

I dunno. I liked his stories but disliked his writing style. Too try and drawn out for my taste.

Forsooth. I think it depends on how the book is written: a writer who drives the story using lots of visual language may be easier to put on film than someone like Lovecraft, whose writing tends to be highly introspective (and describes most horrible things as indescribable, dammit).

bump.

regarding the OP: it is a testament to modern social programming that although nothing makes sense, the one thing my brain keeps flagging as "a little off" is that a 90-something year-old woman is referred to as "beautiful."

Troof. I wondered if I had misread it or something.

Easy for you to say, ya UK bastards. Oh well, I guess the safest route for me would be to attend Hebrew school (the Fundies, interestingly enough, are often not Jew haters) and learn everything I need to look like I'm in on the religion thing. That should keep me more or less safe.

That's what you think.  They only like Jews because they're needed for their end of the world scenario.

Good enough. That means they won't hurt me until the end of the world, and by then I plan to be very, very dead.

And we all appreciate your efforts, Roger.

However, I think you may have to let this one go (srsly, he used an anime smiley).

Mittens for Guillermo del Toro:
This should be good.

Latin memes for the win!

The only way I can kick moar ass is for people to tell me what's wrong with my work.

Not enough tits.

"Ad Justiam Magnum" Ah hahaha, I get it.

I thought that was www.discordianism.com ?

Sides, Cainad is tight with them.  I'm sure we could flood out their bad stuff with our good (and vice versa)

Lol. The wiki there doesn't seem to exist anymore, and the last post was ages ago. The most entertaining things on there now are Idem's four or so posts that all say "What" or some variation thereof.
