Here is a question for you. It was inspired by a thread I just noticed, entitled <I>How Much do We Love Edward Cullen?</I> although it has nothing specifically to do with Edward (nice hair, Ed). Here's the question. When somebody posts a general discussion topic, in a general discussion...

So, I'm going to be turning 29 years old this July. I currently work in a fast food restaurant in northeastern Ohio, where I'm one of the three or four oldest employees out of 22 (I'm also older than all of the managers, albeit only by a week or two in one case). One manager, the one who's...

OLYMPIA, Wash. – Linda Fleming was diagnosed with terminal cancer and feared her last days would be filled with pain and ever-stronger doses of medication that would erode her mind. The 66-year-old woman with late-stage pancreatic cancer wanted to be clear-headed at death, so she became the...

Imagine that you could adopt the powers of any existing, published, widely-known superhero or super-villain in the comic book genre; the only catch is, their personality comes with their abilities. Basically, you would have to become them, not just reap the benefits of their... well, whatever...

What would you consider to be the ideal setup for a small gathering? For the sake of having an example, let's say "something attended by 10 - 15 people, over the course of a 2- or 3-day weekend." There may or may not be something in the works for the northeast Ohio region; those of us who are...

I'm sitting at the computer, working on a writing assignment and anxiously awaiting KarateGirl's return home; not long after that, we both go to bed, only to wake up between 3 and 4am and begin the 7+ hour drive to Hershey, PA. We'll spend Thursday and Thursday night with my parents and a...

...just, don't tell the televangelists that global warming is real; we've got a backup of rains-of-frogs as it is ;) http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090428/wl_nm/us_antarctica_ice I'm gonna go stock my freezer!

...now we get to add "switch off!" to "shut up!" and "stop shredding the furniture!" http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090429/ap_on_re_as/as_skorea_cloned_dogs I'm not saying that the possibility is ridiculous; someone who could do this successfully must know something about genetics, after all...

I'm halfway-tempted to put this under "Silly Stuff," but I shall continue to feign decency for a little while longer. BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – Police said a 23-year-old man is in stable condition after he pretended that he was falling off a bridge over the Minnesota River, then actually fell off...

I've finally scored a potential gold-mine as a freelance RPG writer. If it works out as the opportunity has thus far been described to me, I should be able to bring in an extra $2-300 per month to begin with, but within a year I should be contributing to large-scale works (full core rulebooks...

I'm curious about something. There is a lot of tickling-related fiction and artwork posted on the TMF, yes? When last I checked, there was enough to keep me occupied for years. There are video production companies which shoot brief, tickling-centered porn for the pleasure of such individuals...

Also, he has trouble "keeping his house clean," admitting it's "like a larger version of his old room." Apparently this is hot-list news. Even for IMDB.com, I find that a little depressing. Efron Floods Garden Fixing Water Sprinkler 16 April 2009 3:00 PM, PDT Zac Efron has been forced to...

I am currently involved in what started as a group project, then became a solo effort, to produce a "new" RPG in the spirit of the original fantasy role-playing games of the 70's. The project began in the summer of '08 following Gary's death; I was on board as the publication director. We were...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090413/tv_nm/us_hasbro;_ylt=ApK8e6cLqbd05iUWFmvgLaJxFb8C I think I just had a geek-gasm.

The purpose of this thread is to ask largely rhetorical questions regarding people we've seen doing seemingly impossible things on the "everyday" level. The provision of answers is also cool, but not the main reason for the thread; most of it is simply to vent incredulity at what we're seeing...

Written by a woman who teaches English literature, this article explains why and how the Twilight series is, not only very poorly written, but self-inconsistent, sexist, and frighteningly dangerously r/e the message it is sending to the pre-teen girls who constitute 99.73861% of its fanbase...

Venray's red-hot thread regarding who you consider to be unapproachable online has got me wondering about how people view themselves. Do you consider yourself to be approachable or unapproachable online, and why? What about in person, if you'd care to elaborate on that aspect as well? It'd be...
