    I ain't no lady. Sometimes I'm a gentleman against my better judgement, but that's another story.

    This is to all my fellow Portlanders: How many of you are over 21 and can play Guitar Hero decently?

    Cause there might be another Ultimate Guitar Hero at Dante's next week, and there needs to be a big turnout if there is going to be a third.

    You've never been to the Cinerama? It fucking rocks. I'm not certain I'll be there because I won't be able to buy a ticket until Mon and it's possible they'll be sold out by then. We'll see.

    Notice how there are never any Canadian troops in WWII movies?

    Probably because the 1st SS was killing them faster than they could land in country.

    OH YOu fucker. You know they pretty much owned ass all over Europe, right?

    Also, a bunch of them were sent into a suicide mission (meaning their commanding officers knew they would all die but it would benefit the rest of the war effort in other areas) and the fucking came out on top.

    YOU fucker

    The best World War story I can think of is the one where (I think this was in WWI) the Brits and the Krauts had a soccer match or something during a cease-fire on Christmas or New Year. Right in the middle of no-man's land.

    Anyone more familiar with the story? I hear the French were pretty offended at their allies horsing around with the Jerrys. I think they were just jealous that they weren't invited.

    Hey, is it just me or is the IMAX thing a fucking lie?

    Where I live I went to see LOTR in the IMAX theatre. I went in and it started and it wasn't using the whole 40ft tall or whatever screen--it was only using about a quarter of it, somewhere in the middle. AND THEN a caption came on that said:

    "This is not meant to represent the IMAX sound experience...which is much better." (I ad lib but something like that.)

    So I was like, what the fuck how the fuck is this IMAX anything then? AND I payed like 15 dollars for the fucking ticket. OH boy I watched that whole movie and I watched it MAD and then said nothing.

    The version I heard was that on CHristmas they made each other make shift gifts and got up and horsed around with each other and got drunk a bit before going back to fighting the next day. War is so AWESOME and makes so much sense.

    Thank you Wren.




    I remembered a good war story. Apparently it happened when the Brits were colonized all over the place. They were in some African country and the locals wanted them out but all they had were shields and spears and the British had guns. Hundreds of these dudes lined up, marched forward, shields in front, toward the long line of British riflemen. The British ran out of bullets and the Africans got close enough to just charge in and slaughter every one of them. Does anyone know this story? I think I'm getting part of it wrong.

    Yeah okay, this is the same story I heard.
    Isn't mankind just SILLY? I mean, some dudes probably shared some schnapps or gin with a fellow they shot through the stomach or head the next day.
    That's what makes this tale both uplifting and utterly-depressing at the same time. Let's hope we get invaded by aliens sometime soon so we won't keep being so retarded.

I'm sorry but if there are already guilds beating the most badass of Warcraft villians I am glad I quit playing that fucking game. That's fucking bullshit.

    probably one of many.

    hell, scots armed with primitive cannons, no armor and just melee weaponry nearly overthrew the british government.

    I'm sure theres some fancy quote about british pride being their biggest weapon and weakness, but fuckit

    This movie is so ridiculously over the top it's going to be great fun. I love all the idiots that are all, "rrraaawrrr Spartans were teh best evar lern ur history!"
    Certainly they performed admirably but they didn't do anything superhuman and it's idiotic to try and make comparisons across different technological eras.

    No, I just killed all of Illidans top troopers/generals in Shadowmoon, right in front of him (well, right in front of his viewing crystal). Illidan gets all pissy and I get a new tabard.
