But anyway, I can rest easy because it look's like Gaffer has surpassed me in the brown-nose stakes with this little ditty...
(but not the post count stakes, eh Gaff?

Wow, you actually weren't lying...

Having said that, some of my good girlfriends are pretty geeky but still attractive, so I guess it's not unheard of.

You know, a long time ago I suggested we should post pictures (or at least links) so we could all know who we were talking to. Some people did, but a surprising amount were irrationally paranoid about the whole idea.

I just had some professional photos done for the cover of my demo so when they are scanned I'll post them. In the meantime, there's some pretty old out of date photos Here (in case anyone goves a sh*t).

What Ric and Gaffer said are my thoughts exactly, and sadly the PT has tarnished all of these characters, except Luke. Therefore, I am going to follow RedBaron's lead and use only the OT to guide me in my decision.

And that decision is...

Yoda and Luke.

But the way things are going it looks like the final is going to be Yoda Vs Luke, and that is going to be super-tough.

NOTHING justifies violence. Nothing.


There's the ticket, we agree on that one Ric. Good quote btw, who is it again?


It's also one of the most naive philosophies on the planet...I can imagine one of the Iraqi Khurds going up to Saddam and saying "You know, an eye for an eye only makes the whole world......ARRRRRGHGGHGHH!" immediately before being shot, followed by nerve gas being released in their village. Please, oh please.
Sage is right - it's a very naive and unrealistic attitude. But how sad that that is the case. Like I said - human nature sucks.

But Batman is smart. Would he even allow Superman to get close enough to lay that one punch on him? I'm pretty sure that before any face-off, Batman would be well prepared. The example of him planting a bomb on himself and then telling Superman that he has planted a bomb on a citizen of Gothem and if Superman lays a finger on him the bomb will explode shows how smart batman is. I'm also pretty sure Bats would arm himself with some kryptinite if he knew a fight with Superman was imminetn, and I'm sure with Bruce Wayne's contacts, intelligence and finances he would have no trouble getting hold of kryptonite. But yeah Warbs, no doubt about it that in a straight man on man fight, Supes would kill bats in half a second.

Man, I love these 'who would beat who in a fight' discussions

I am a liberal, pacifist, anti-violence kinda guy, and I tend to agree with Ric and Gandhi, but, as I have said numerous times before, humans suck, as does human nature, and there will always be violence and negativity. Do Ghandi's words actually help us find an anser in the real world, or are they just idealistic wishful thinking? Perhaps it is the fact that everybody thinks it is stupid idealism that stops it from ever being anything more than that. So should I stand by and be non-violent, or do I need to partake in the violence to protect myself and my family/friends? And by doing so am I simply being a hippocrite and adding to the poor human nature that I loathe so much? Is there ever a time when violence is necessary? some good examples have been given. So who is right? Jesus said turn the other cheek - if we take this literally, let's say some guy punches me on the face, so I turn the other cheek. He puts a bullet in it and I die. Did I do the right thing? Did my pacifism prevent violence or make the world a better place? Either way, I'm dead. On the other hand what if, after being punched in the cheek, I headbutted the guy, pulled my own gun, and shot him? But why even let him punch me the first time? What if I saw his fist coming for my face, blocked it, then pulled my gun and shot him. But why even let him get the swing in? How about if, as soon as I see his eyes move towards me and his hand move, I shoot him. Or how about if I just shoot anyone who looks like they might want to hit me? Then again, perhaps if I walk around with my gun permanently drawn, nobody will want to hit me at all and I will be safe. Or will this make other people who see me brandishing my gun go for their weapon in the fear that I am going to shoot them? What if they decide it's better to shoot me before I shoot them? Where does any of this get us? To put the question on a global scale, is War ever justified? Hitler needed to be stopped, and appeasement in the early stages of his advance across Eurpoe only made it harder to stop him in the long run. Yet I am anti-war so how can I say WW2 was justified? No matter how hard I or we try to plant the seeds of peace, there will always be those who will, for whatever reason of their own (be it greed, revenge, anger or just plain craziness) want to quash that peace. Sometimes it is even done in the name of peace!! (can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs, etc). This is quickly becoming my catchphrase, but I'll say it again: it all comes down to human nature, and human nature sucks.

I don't have the answers to these questions, but I do know that the day we blow ourselves up will be a fitting end to our pathetic race.


P.S. Excluding the pea-brained hillbillies who refer to Iraqis as 'turkeys who need to be put down' and take pleasure in killing and violence, or beating tehir captives then photographing them, etc, I have absolutely nothing against the individuals involved in the current Iraq war, or any other war. I have a problem with the governments who sent them into that war, and even then I don't have anything against some of those government individuals because I understand the very hard decisions involved. However, when ulterior motives and back-alley dealings are bought into the equation, then I have a problem. But fundamentally, the front line men and women fighting on either side are ok in my book. They are just doing a job, and in many cases (such as WW2) they were enlisted and didn't even choose to do that job. Although having said that, does 'I was just following orders' really cut it? Isn't that what they said at Nurenburg...

My thoughts EXACTLY - A bunch of heads photoshopped together. Posters of the 70s and 80s were so much better.

Why is Flash so muscly in that photo? Does the power of super-speed have some effect on his physique? I'm not criticising, just asking - I never read flash, but I am familiar with the origin story and I thought he was just a normal guy who got splashed by some chemicals and became super-fast.

Hehe, I did 49 in my first day being on these forums...

And I admit not knowing what the 'ranking' referred to. So now that I know, #1 would definitely be bad.

EDIT: Correction 53, maybe 54 now I don't understand how it works I guess.....
Just be sure to remember the Mantra 'quality not quantity', my newbie friend.

From IMDB:

Tom Cruise has hit out at reports he has bought an adult pacifier to keep fiancee Katie Holmes quiet during childbirth. The heavily pregnant actress plans to adhere to strict Scientology rules and give birth without screaming, crying or making loud noises, and Star magazine insisted Cruise would help by providing a specially designed device to bite. A source tell the magazine, "He commissioned an adult-sized 'binky' for her to clench between her teeth, hoping that it'll squelch her screams. In keeping with a Scientology silent birth, Tom is prepared to do whatever it takes to muffle Katie's moans and groans during the delivery." Cruise's publicist Arnold Robinson has dismissed the reports as nonsense. On Tuesday fellow Scientologist John Travolta lent his support to the controversial birth plans.

C3PO: That R2 unit has always been a problem. These astro-droids are getting quite out of hand. Even I can't understand their logic at
times.

Luke: How could I be so stupid? He's nowhere in sight. Blast it!

C3PO: Pardon me, sir, but couldn't we go after him?

Luke: It's too dangerous with all the Sandpeople around. We'll have to wait until morning.

Uncle Owen: Luke, I'm shutting the power down for the night.

Luke: All right, I'll be there in a few minutes. Boy, am I gonna get it. You know that little droid is going to cause me a lot of trouble.

C3PO: Oh, he excels at that, sir.
