I made the mistake of going into Burtons in Falkirk today. It was the Burtons that Burtons forgot. It looks like it hasn't been touched since flat-tops were in.I was looking for a new to me waistcoat and the only waistcoats in town seemed to be in there. They were made to match the worst looking blazer suit ever devised. I wanted to take the designer out to a swanky restaurant and poison the fucker for the sake of the species.
It looked like it was made from a bar of 1970's shield soap, that had dropped down the back of a sink overflow with pubes and toothbrush scum all over it.

If you read that post ^ in Alan Bennett's voice it's even better.

Anybody else getting junk mail in their ot.com inbox? Somebody apparently has made a profile, and is hitting on me.

Pretty sure it's a bot account.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

Yes. I just got that too. I wonder who's trying to elicit money...

I’m just here because I’m driving tonight.

Hmmm, how to ban a bot if they haven't posted any messages, and haven't hit on me yet? ;)

Could one of you cut and paste what they're saying in a pm so I can see?

Where were you in '77?

I'm tempted to email them and act naive.

After posting in a couple other forums today, I realized how much better quoting is on this site than on those forums. Here, all one has to do to separate text in a block quote is press enter and click the block quote button and one can type between them. On other forums, one has to either type out the "[/quote]" and then "[quote]" at the beginning of the next section, or, for each section of text, highlight the text, click the quote button, and delete extra quote tags. I'm sure there are some forums with better quote options than that, and it isn't as easy to multi-quote here as it is on some other forums, but I like what we've got here better than what they've got on other sites.

If only someone could add a search history and the option to search through individual pages to the forum ...

You have to press the quote button after you press enter.

I haven't slept in like twenty hours or something.

But it'll be the last time for awhile that I have to pull a crazy all-nighter like this. I don't even know what to think about that.

Keep Circulating the Tapes.

Would Dr Lecter be as notorious if his name was Reggie Marian?

I like blondes, but only if they're naturally blond. Bleach-blitzed hair turns me off faster than nude photos of Whoopi Goldberg.

You like people based on their looks? I can only determine how attractive a person is based on looks, but I have to get to know them a bit before I decide if I like them or not. ;)

I like women based on looks and personality (and not necessarily in that order), but coloured hair -- especially blonde -- is ugly to me regardless.

I don't understand why so many people refuse to eat pizza crusts. As far as I'm concerned, the crust is one of the best parts of a pizza.

If it's good crust, I agree.  Poor-to-average crust just fills you up and keeps you from eating more of the good stuff.
