@TM2-Megatron Yeah, it is like @TheMightyMollusk says. The catch is that usually means they can contain beef, and I confirmed it by pushing my luck. XD So... yeah, if going to the theater was about watching the film, it might be worth potentially resting on the balls of my feet while technically sitting in the chair, but put it all together... and I just wait to watch it at home. Oh, and ticket prices, always ticket prices.

woot woot! Korean barbeque for dinner!

It's meat scraps. Whatever's left over from cutting up the more choice cuts.

Well, the hot dogs Cineplex has (pretty much our only big theatre chain) around here are quite good, but I have no idea of the composition, and honestly, it's probably better that way.

@TM2-Megatron In my case, shouldn't risk the hot dogs, either. Maybe if they are guaranteed to contain NO beef (can't digest it anymore >_<).

Semper ubi sub ubi

Then classmate, I mean.

A classmate of mine once did one: Asked for the English term for [underpants], he replied "underground trousers".

Urkomisch!

@Nevermore First time I have ever heard of this, but it sounds awesome!

We did that amongst ourselves in German class in college. We just called it "Germish", though.

Nevermore, you've peaked my interest and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter

The term itself is an example: "English for Runaways" is supposed to mean "English for advanced speakers".

Think of it as the German variety of Engrish, only done completely on purpose for maximum hilarity. The target audience are bilingual German native speakers who a) understand the intended meaning and b) realize the absurdness of the end result.

It's basically the official unofficial term for deliberate mistranslations between German and English, done for the lulz.

Has anyone ever heard of the term "English for Runaways"?

Okay... Seriously.. The Mystic Knights need a DVD release already.. I keep seeing them pop up in the most random of places.

Unfortunately no Squidkids at Sea World so no splat zones. Now that would have been a good brand deal to advertise in the park, and would have made more brand sense than friggin' Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog.

i think that's where the orcas jump & land on the trainers in protest to their horrible treatment

Splat zones?

It was wet from gallons of salt water. Splash zones, man.

Only if you're classy.

do you serve orca meat with butter?

I hope it was wet from butter

I used to work at Sea World in Florida, in the stroller rental warehouse, where we would regularly have to hose wet popcorn out of strollers. Popcorn hasn't really appealed to me since.

Mine got the HP Pavilion Gaming 15" Green light laptop...and I can't find anything about it except the press release and HP's own website options.

Always bemusing to find a new laptop series at Walmart and then can't find ANYTHING online about it except for the press releases

still sounds preferable to "The Hobbit."

I once farted so rank the guy behind me walked out of the lord of rings movie. Told my brother someone needed to sew my ass shut on his way out.

If I couldn't eat popcorn, I have to admit that would remove part of the appeal for my going, as well. Although the theatre chain up here still has decent hot dogs, I guess

Yeah.. Stomach issues is one of the big medical reasons for me as well.

I rarely go to movie theaters anymore: besides being too fat to sit comfortably in the seats, I have digestive health issues. No popcorn at all. >_<

Medical reasons.

why?

I can't even go the theater anymore really.

Personally, I like the short wait. As much as I still enjoy going to the theatre, I also like getting movies at home as soon as possible

Just found out John Mahoney (Martin Crane in Frasier) died earlier this year. That's sad.

I don't think I'm ever going to get used to the turn around time on new movies making it to home formats.

Only for Steelbooks and whatnot, anyway

picked up black panther on bluray. walmart had little signs next to the price sticker saying theyre actually limiting copies of it to 2 per customer. ive never seen that on a movie before

And I get to keep the vehicle with its 43,130 miles!

Cha-CHING! My "total loss" PT Cruiser (with some hail damage from last year with a $4200 repair bill for cosmetic damage) netted me a $6000 payday with a clear title since it is over 10 years old!

Yes. The authorities have been notified of your predilections. Remain where you are.

Is it wrong that I want to refer to PotP Inferno's combiner form as Phoenix King?

more and more i'm starting to wish i'd become an alcoholic years ago.

The sad thing is that I sometimes think a little social drinking by others puts us on even footing. I'm sure you're all shocked (which emoticon do i use for sarcasm again?) that I'm not good at social situations, and either I clam up or say too much, can't read the room, etc.? XP

I don't drink for a variety of reasons. Family alcoholism, can't stand the smell, don't like what it does to people, etc.

It's not always other people caring about you not drinking that makes it awkward. You can make yourself feel awkward by not doing something everyone else is doing without anyone even trying to make you do it. Peer pressure doesn't have to be intentional, the desire to fit in can make you do it to yourself.

@Pennpenn Same here. I just don't see a need to drink hard stuff even if it's as simple as one sip. Two reasons one I'd probably be as much a lightweight as Doc. Brown and two my uncle was killed in a car wreck due to a drunk driver and I've made a promise to my mother to never drink unless it's very special. I'm even less tolerant of Smoking or chewing Tabaco since my dad had cancer twice due to chewing learned his lesson after he survived round two. And before I get the naysayers on this the doctors specified to him that it was chewing that screwed him up. His genes did have a possible trigger in them that coulc of gone off but according to the docs it only mutated after he started chewing.

I have enough problems with Diabetes messing with me.. Don't need alcohol adding to it.
