In most cases, my solution is to block the "don't use adblock" div. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

What I speak of here has no connection with sites that detect you are using an ad-blocker and put up whatever.

Adele is the most boring singer in the history of music.
Or were you thinking Lionel Richie?

I was just feeling all alone here. No posts (apart from mine) for an hour and a half. What the heck is going on? Some game on that I'm missing???

I don't talk just to hear myself speak.
And I was watching "The Fellowship of the Ring" again.

Standard or Extended Edition?
Me and my missus will rewatch the entire exalogy when the special extended of The Battle of the Five Armies will come out in stores.

I'll have to do it without the missus, however. She doesn't like what they did to The Hobbit.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

We definetely love it, we also watched all the 9 hours of extras of the first and half of the second (4 hours more or less).
Also we'll rewatch all the Star Wars - at least the original trilogy - before the Force Awakens will be in theatres. Usually at least once a year we see all LOTR and all SW... it's good to be two nerds

I avoid The Hobbit as well. I got out of watching the first two, but I got the short straw and had to take the kid to the third.

Stipulated - the 'The Hobbit' film trilogy follows the book very loosely, so it fails as an adaption of the book. If you view them as works in their own right, they hold up much better.
(Assuming you like this type of adventure tale)

I have the "Special Extended DVD Edition" of each LOTR -- cardboard boxes that look vaguely like books, four discs per book. We watch at least once a year.
The kid has "Special Editions" of the three Hobbits. I've seen bits as I've walked by when he's been watching it.

True, but "Breakdown of sanity" is the the least boring metalcore band ever ...

Gonna try, thanks. There's never enough metal in life.

While I'm waiting for a job to finish, I might as well share THIS[^] with you! I find it hilarious, and I'll start planning the inscription on my tombstone straight away. No kidding! 
Actually, the last one is not too bad, I might go with that... (or I would have if it wasn't for the fact that I HATE Javascript)

I guess you didn't see that this was already posted todayabout 15 hours ago, and the post has the same title: [^].

You are most certainly quite right! Oh my God, a repost here in Lounge. Whatever shall we do? 
No, I am of course very, very sorry! I bow my head in shame 
I'd better go get myself another vodka shot (I'm out of stout)

... and I'm working. So sad.
And instead of preparing to turn into a pumpkin, I'm desperately seeking the Balmer Peak[^] with equal amounts of my favourite stout and vodka shots (haven't told my employer about that - They'd just encourage driking on the job). I'll try to be carefull and not overshoot it... Ah what the hell, who gives an elephant?
Boy, I miss Dave in situations like these...

Still 22 minutes to midnight here, and I'm just home from the pub.

Yes, you see I had to drop a T-shirt from Brazil off at her mum's house.
I forgot to take the T-shirt.
I did, however, remember to bring the bread back.
And some strawberries.
In unrelated news strawberry sandwiches are disappointing.

I'm intrigued! Thanks for brightening the time I have to spend in work limbo in the wee hours of the morning... I hope that you're not in trouble with the right arm of the law (MIL) now...
