  1. It has a different meaning, yes. In this case, it's the study of Mormon scriptures by Mormon high schoolers, often early in the morning before school. Each year focuses on a specific scriptural text, and it takes four years to complete.
  2. Last time, on Game of Thrones:
  3. People usually don't know what to do in such situations, making you part of the majority!Usually, you can get through such events by saying variations on "How awful!" If bad and "wow, that's neat!"if good. Excuse yourself with an explanation about aggressive toe fungus, and you're interacting suitably with society! My gripe for today has to do with my local library: the only events it does for adults are nights when people fill in coloring books or teach the remaining Neanderthals about this new fangled technology known as a computer.
  4. An issue I have with Rowling is that she likes to take credit for being progressive without doing the actual work. There's absolutely nothing wrong with Hermione being black or Dumbledore being gay...In fact, if not specified a reader can project whatever default they want. But that's the reader, not Rowling. She had plenty of times to clarify Hermione's race (particularly when she was being consulted for the movies!) but only gave credence to the idea after someone else came up with it. It just seems that sometimes Rowling is only progressive when it is good for her image or her brand.
  5. I've known people who are proud about not checking for traffic or not stopping because it would break their rhythm.As an anxious driver, I disapproves of such behavior.
  6. Delightful makes a good point. These slimy pieces of rust are not entitled to your time or energy. They literally do not matter and you are perfectly justified in banishing them to an ignominious existence.
  7. You can't make me! I won't have you poisoning my mind with your bourgeois values! ¡Viva la Revolución!
  8. If you have communication from him requesting the charity money, have that ready. I would approach an advocacy group before the media. The media might be able to bring about public ire, but an advocacy group can bring about the force of law. In fact, talk with the Make a Wish Foundation first. They will invariably become involved and are entitled to a say in what action should be done.
  9. Fleas and heartworm are commonly tested for, no reason necessary.
  10. Independence is a fantastic thing. It's why we left the British
  11. When people say they wish they were a kid, at high school, or at college again. I mean, did you really just peak out during those times? Or are you (in the case of wanting to be a kid again) a perpetual snot-nosed brat that wants to live an existent where being a snot-nosed brat is acceptable?
  12. You just gave me an idea for a post in the Pet Peeves thread!
  13. The Noid ruins pizza. Avoid him!
  14. The Sandman by Neil Gaiman and Books Do Furnish a Room by Anthony Powell.
  15. About all the writing done before the internet? :?
  16. You have no idea. But you will... in time... Mwahaha!
