nowhere in this post do you meantion Lucas Posessing Mel. Any Dark Jedi Master would be able to overshadow him and irreversably alter his thought process without being a ghost.

hence my confusion at your posts .

I thought that's what overshadowing meant.


I hate being the only Danny Phantom fan on these boards. But I don't hate cake.

Only the best new animated show in years. The only downside is that it's on Nickelodeon, so it's social suicide to admit you're a fan of it anywhere but the internet.

It's worth a look if you're interested in animation.

If you decide it's too childish, I won't hold it agaisnt you.

I don't hate this. I found this on a personal blog, so I can't give the link. She'd kill me.


Died 24/7/365 in America's Heart, USA

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend by the name of Common Sense who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such value lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm and that life isn't always fair.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not kids, are in charge). His health began to rapidly deteriorate when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a student; however they could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Finally, Common sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense finally gave up the ghost after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot, she spilled a bit in her lap, and was awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust, his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by two stepbrothers; My Rights and Ima Whiner.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still know him pass this on; if not, join the majority and do nothing.

Fixed. Actually it was in the right thread, but you hijacked it with talk of Danny Phantom. Whatever.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

I agree with almost everything in this.

MMmm.. Hhmm... She's a smart girl.

This is nowhere near as humorous as what I posted in the Things we Hate thread though.

Chaltab, that was very cool. Any chance you can PM me the URL for her site? I like reading well written blogs. And those are very few and far between.

When the discussion flies far off topic, you can usually refer to something said a while ago with quotes.
Besides; I don't hate Danny Phantom, so it is fair game for this thread.

I still don't know what you're talking about; one of the perils of being in Canada with basic cable.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

I gave a link. It's just a show that's better than anyone expected it to be and has developed a follwing outside its target age group, just like SouthPark, Invader Zim, Fairly OddParents and Spongebob before it.

I don't hate when judges throw out frivolous lawsuits. My hat's off to you, sir!

Judge Nixes Viewer's 'Fear Factor' Lawsuit
CLEVELAND - A judge threw out a lawsuit in which a viewer sued NBC for $2.5 million, contending that he threw up because of a "Fear Factor" episode in which contestants ate rats mixed in a blender.

U.S. District Judge Lesley Wells called Austin Aitken's lawsuit frivolous and warned him against appealing.

"Evidently, fear was a factor for him," Matt Kunitz, the show's executive producer, said on Wednesday. "We knew that justice would prevail and we're pleased with the outcome."

A message left seeking comment from Aitken was not immediately returned.

Aitken, a 49-year-old part-time paralegal from Cleveland, previously told The Associated Press that he watched "Fear Factor" often and had no problem with past installments where the reality show's participants ate worms and insects in pursuit of a $50,000 prize — but eating rats went "too far."

He said he sued to send a message to NBC and other networks about their programming.

Aitken's handwritten lawsuit contended the rat-eating made his blood pressure rise, resulting in being dizzy and lightheaded — and vomiting. Because he was disoriented he ran into a doorway, "causing suffering, injury and great pain."

Oh Good God!

What a stupid, trumped up reason for a lawsuit.

That said, Fear Factor should be taken off the air. Some day, one of their stupid stunts is going to get someone killed. Eating rats mixed up in a blender? What if the rats had some disease? Rats are known to spread diseases. Truly disgusting. I would not do that for all the money in the world.

Yeah, but I wonder how much of their stuff is real and how much of it is purely psychological. Blended rats? Could be anything. The stuff like the termites and cockroaches and whatnot I can see being real, but I get the feeling that they are bred in a controlled environment where stuff like diseases can be eliminated to the point where eating it won't be harmful to participants, but is still disgusting all the same.

Just commenting, no feelings. I guess it is a bit pathetic.
