It's Hawaii-chilly and I have to work. Lame. LAME. I could be using this as the closest thing to winter we have and making delicious treats and mulling wine!

the song is sort of a rejection of the gangster culture springing up in their poor area of ireland, where they are often mocked because they're "so poor they just ride around on horses"
and they're like "fuck yeah i ride on a horse, better than being some low life thug so i can get a subaru"
So we get stiff once in a while. So we have a little fun. What’s wrong with that? This is a free country, isn’t it? I can take my panda any place I want to. And if I wanna buy it a drink, that’s my business.

Dammit, I just ended up paying 7 quid for some French raspberry jam. It was one of those situations where I had misread the price (I thought it was about 2.5 pounds, which turns out to refer to 250 grams), then felt too silly to put it back on the shelf once I got to the till. It looks dammed good though and should go well with the bread I purchased.
So you're going to need quite a few loaves a bread now is what you're saying.
Or just a spoon, if he's feeling decadent.
I do feel kind of decadent, yes. The bakery where I got the bread and jam had pretty neat stuff there, like a large collection of edible baked spoons, forks and the like. I could have got a decadent spoon to eat the decadent jam, then eaten the decadent spoon!
This is the bakery by the way. The interactive photo is not from the London branch, so I think it must be one of the two French branches. It looks about 90% similar to the London one though
My boss knew Lionel Poilane, before Poilane died in a helicopter crash. He's worked at Poilane in France as a "guest baker" while he was practicing for the world cup. I've talked to Appollonia (Poilane's daughter) on the phone a few times. Yeah, you won't be disappointed.

It's warmer in our house than outside. It's weird.

I think I've spoken to her as well, in that the reason I know this place exists is that they are clients of ours and I have spoken to a French sounding woman who seemed to run the place (I cannot remember what her name was though, as this was about 12 months back). Small world eh?
As you say, the bread is amazing. I've been there before a couple of times before and it never disappoints. They also supply bread to places like Harrods as well, which is just up the road from their London bakery.

Commando is awesome.
They are not Scottish.
They're from Limerick - and the accent in question is the inner-city limerick one. Fun fact: it's the most common accent heard by people in Ireland who are just about to get stabbed.

exactly
though my own pick would be Robocop, budget $13 million
Man, I love that movie. The themes about the bad side of corporate america and the commercials are fantatstic.
Interesting Commando trivia - the sequel, which Arnold refused to do, eventually became Die Hard.
Commando is awesome.
Damnit, paper. This means war!
I should watch Commando again. It has been a few years!

That man understands how to make a fucking great B-movie. They Live is one of my all-time favorite movies.
That is the suck.
I mean seriously.

Ha.
I bet that ends up being one of the expansions. You fight for Sauron, trying to capture the Ring.
I cannot argue with any of this
Also, I give Starz mad cred for getting him to do some more moviemaking before he dies; Pro-Life, with Ron Perlman; pretty fucking awesome.

make some hot chocolate and put it in the mug i gave you
I do love that mug. It was nearly busted out for champagne on NYE but it was so dark outside no one could appreciate it proper.
gonna die of a heart attack in, like, tomorrow
haha awesome
On the grand list of things from which you might die, isn't "home made ice cream" about as close to the good end of the list as you can get?
despite not getting to be an orc
this is mostly because I miss the LOTR server I used to play on with neverwinter nights

It's right below sex and cocaine overdose, yes.

you are an inspiration

do i... fuck the mouth
really i just answered so i could quote this again and this image could once more appear on the page
no, no
it'll be like D&D
the entire orc race will be made up of chaotic good orcs, trying to overcome the reputations of their brethren
