and a certain physical act

Made for a very sweet time.

Well so much for trying an easy fix. . . I just took down the whole site - LOL

Looks like you got er done.

Yep found the switch for it buried in the not so easy to follow interface.

Once again thanks for your efforts.

All kidding aside thank you for your efforts in this regard, as I do believe in the long run it will not be beneficial to rate each other.

Regardless, over all the site upgrade is FIRST RATE and Huzzah fer ye says I!

You get your overall rating by going to your profile page.

(Too funny, I am now at -51! LMAO)

I am at -31 repuation and I am rated bad. (Not that I would ever rate myself! That would be cheating. LMAO)

Which of course, is very good for a pirate.

I'd turn this feature off. It will create more angst than good will. I have already seen that on far too many boards where this was truned on.

Please accept my sympathy for this horrible event.

I thought pyrates ate at Long John Silver's?

Up

(No offense intended, just the word association with "yours")

I got the impression that it wasn't a canyon so much as a quarry.

I agree with Black John it was a quarry.

Here's an article that talks about where it was shot:

Star Trek Quarry

hahaha...

So how do you feel about the "no-win" scenario?

I don't like to lose.

The AFI right up the street from me is playing some classics... Escape from New York, Buckaroo Banzai and The Wrath of Khan sound like movies that might be worth watching.

THOSE AREN'T CLASSIC MOVIES!

They are simply mature current releases.

Hubby took me to see "Public Enemies" for our Anniversary. It was pretty good, lots of action and the effects with the shooting were impressive. I really don't like Christian Bale, he annoys me so much and was particularly annoying (as an actor and character) in this movie. But that's just me.

We saw Public Enemies this weekend as well. I'd agree pretty good sums it up.

I'd also have to point out it's got a significant bit of basic history flat out wrong. But, that's the danger of any movie with a historical basis, too much depth to show, real facts getting in the way of the story, it needs to be entertaining and it can't be overly long. Besides, people want to see the myth of John Dillinger ala Johnny Depp.

My wife loved Depp in it. I thought the look was fantastic, and it was well acted. I found movie overly long (2.5 hours) and while the action was great, there wasn't enough it, especially as we are talking John Dillinger. Heck, from a history stand point, they kill LESS people in the movie than the Dillinger gang did in real life. I can't recall if that's ever happened in the movies before?

A bit long, but still a fun movie over all.

Up was a massive downer. The first 30 minutes was probably the most depressing 30 minutes of any kids' film I have ever seen.

I’d disagree. “Up” is a children’s movie that doesn’t talk down to the audience. It does have sadness, but it’s a critical part of the story. Just like “Old Yeller” had one of the saddest endings ever for a kid’s movie. This time around the sadness is upfront. The movie has conflict, surprises, tragedy, hopes, and dreams. It was a fun movie and I got a kick out of it. It’s a movie that carries a message to young people that your life is your destiny, if you want to have your dreams come true, that’s your responsibility to do.

Now, if you want a real life tear jerker, you can read this story about a dying girl's last wish and the movie "Up".

Actually, decent is in the title of the thread. The original posted wanted people to disprove the following statement-

pirate=honorless idiots who decided to say screw the government, soap, and rules, and let's go sail the seas robbing ships till we get hung

If we were to go by the title instead of proving/disproving the above quote. Yea, there would need to be a lot more context to what was meant by the word decent.

After all, isn't a fellow that is a fan of the opera, helps widows, defends his immediate family, is a vegatarian, doesn't smoke, is willing to negotiate with his worst enemy to save his beloved nephew, sends condolences to others to share the grief of their loss, and is kind to dogs a decent fellow? I don't know let's ask Adolf Hitler who I just described.

So, one could certainly have a wide range in labeling somebody decent, especially when they cherry pick what to present, like I just did. Which get's back to the point that if "decent" is to be the discussion, then please define what is meant by decent.

I was living in Spain for a summer I got complemented on many times as an American (they assumed most Americans don't have accents) as my english was much simpler to understand than most of the other english speaking tourists mainly from England and Australia.

This in a way reminds me of a story. I had an uncle who married a German. Mind you this is 1946 and he marries her in Germany. Well, she learned English back in the days before everybody in Germany was speaking English. So, the availability of English instructors was very limited.

Anway, so he marries this German. A very nice lady but she spoke with a lisp. After a couple years of marriage turns out she did not have a lisp. Her English instructor had a lisp!

After some time of speaking English full time around native speakers the lisp went away on its own.
