Similarly, a heck of a lot more people don't believe that Jesus' did any miracles than believe he didn't exist. And more people believe in exorcists than exorcism.

I thought you advocated gun control and didn't own a gun?
Or Obi-Wan or Anakin (actually, that isn't true--I've met someone with that name, but he's probably named after the Star Wars character).
For me it isn't the vulgarity and crassness that really bugs me, but the disrespect of other people (more than just the way HotRod refers to his wife, but also the fact that he isn't respecting the creator of the good news threads, or their purpose).
Or a piece of wood!
You ever been to an elementary school and hung out with the boys in grade 5 & 6?
I can't tell the difference between a Canadian and an American accent either because there isn't really such a thing. Southern and eastern accents in the U.S. are fairly different from the northern U.S. and Canadian accent, but Canada is fairly uniform aside from Newfoundlanders, who have a distinct accent.
And the Québécois have such a thick accent that very few other people in Canada can understand them at all. ;)

For the first time, Official Pix is offering officially licensed photos for Clive Revill in The Empire Strikes Back.
I doubt these are GOUT sourced:
I thought Revill only did the voice and some woman did the face, with a mask?
Racist!
Great, thanks! I think the spreadsheet will be easier to use, once I figure out how the pieces move, etc. My day is pretty filled up, so hopefully I'll have time to get it all sorted out. No promises though...
A note on French punctuation:
In French, it is mandatory to put a space before a question mark, exclamation mark, colon, semicolon, parenthesis, etc. For example:
1. C'est vrai !
2. Pourquoi ?
3. Utilise l'infinitif après le mot « veux », comme ça :
« Je veux utiliser ton crayon. »
I point out this particular rule because it isn't readily apparent when you're reading and learning French, and if you want to do it right, which I'm sure you do, it's good to know (I imagine many native French speakers neglect that rule, but as all published work seems to follow the spacing rules, it's obviously more correct).
EDIT: An oddly specific grammar note by me...
I still have some misgivings about the animation style, but I must say I really like the new Obi-Wan (definitely more than the Clone Wars version of him).

Aww, thanks. :)
Très bien! J'ai besoin le pratique aussi maintenant, mais je pourrai aider tu dans le futur, après j'apprend davantage de français. As-tu essayé utiliser Duolingo.com pour apprendre le français et autres langues?
Duolingo is a good site because it gets you to review lessons every once in a while (it isn't mandatory, however, so you aren't stuck reviewing when you don't have to. It's just helpful that it keeps track, based on what you get wrong and how long it's been since you've used certain vocabulary). It has a different approach than many sites in that, aside from sometimes having a grammar lesson for a unit, it doesn't specifically teach you before testing you. You're able to hover over the words during each lesson (unless you choose to take a test to challenge a unit) and see possible definitions for the word. New words are highlighted for you, and there is audio along with writing, etc. If you aren't already using it, I recommend you check it out. :)
I thought it was OK.
I watched the council video again, and I think the reason I wasn't sure if I understood Ric was because the spacing between the words "too" and "quick" is unnaturally long. It also sounds like there's another sound after "too" which tricked my brain into thinking it was a different line.

I like it, but I can't understand just what Ric's ghost is saying.
"You catch on too quick." The idea being that Yoda spoke nonsense and Ani just pretended to understand so he wouldn't look dumb.
Did anyone else have trouble with it?
That's what I guessed at first, but because of the way it's edited, I thought he either said something else as well or it was a different word. I'll have to listen to it again and report back. It might just be that I was second guessing myself and tricked myself into thinking it was something else...or something. :P
I got the software running (in Windows XP--I'm not sure where I got the idea that I needed to use Windows 95), now I just need to figure out how to use it (like getting pieces on the board and stuff :P). The silly drop-down menus at the top are refusing to show themselves as of the second time I opened it up, so hopefully the program won't be too much of a pain to use.
I'll let you know when I'm ready to play (it won't be today).
I don't have a problem with him making his own threads about that kind of stuff as long as he keeps it out of threads that aren't marked NSFW.
Hmmm...
With some help, I got the files into Windows '95, but the execution file is missing. Consequently, I can't open the software. Do you think you could upload that file and PM it to me?
That's probably true. I think the best tactic is just to ignore him--for real. The problem is that not everyone will ignore him.
Everyone who doesn't appreciate his behaviour, however, should just begin pretending he doesn't exist until HotRod goes off on his merry little way and leaves us alone. I think the three of us all have HotRod on ignore and only know what he did/said because of Frink's response, but let's try a little harder. :P
EDIT: And the thread title is now in need of an update....
Oh, I see. I thought maybe you actually had at least ten different personalities which happened to largely agree with each other, excepting the tenth, which shared stuff of similar nature earlier. ;)
It's OK. However:

Since in the other thread a few people9Myself included)have gotten tired of dealing with all the dirty talk about sex and what not I decided to start a new Good News thread.
You're only allowed 1 myself, just like the rest of us.
Use VirtualBox...
Why didn't you just bump the good news thread that you had made before?
