Pretty self-explanatory. To differentiate it from the joke of the day thread this place is more for artful, suprising and interesting pictures, as apposed to funny ones.

"This is what I love about America. According to a new report, after people started getting their government stimulus checks in the mail, internet porn sites had a 30% increase. You know what that means? People use their stimulus package to stimulate their packages." --Jay Leno Ow.

A music thread... of sorts!

Mr_Death — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 08:40:45 GMT

Mmmyessss, so I figured this could be some kind of music sharing-discussion-reviewing thread. So feel free to post any tunes here... *cough* even ABBA is allowed. So, I've been pondering what could possibly be a worthy first tune in this thread... hard pick really. It ought to be a good video, something that not everyone has obviously heard before. Choices choices. Anyway, I finally settled for 2 tunes... one that few have avoided hehe, Ma na ma na by Pieru Umilliani (or however that spells), ...

Hi guys Our move to Atrum has went smoothly and I am delighted at the activity the channel is now getting in such a short space of time. It is my endeavour to keep the channel as active as possible and I would ask you all to be polite to any newbies, give help where necessary and generally keep the flow of banter going. I know you all do this anyway so keep up the good work If there is anything concerning you over the move or you have any suggestions I would love to hear them ...

Bassnik doles out the SkitSnacks

Bassnik — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 11:28:32 GMT

On the whole US election/political situation, some personal ponderings: I've been wondering whether there is a larger societal/sociological issue at work here, mainly, can nations go through an inverted evolution of the individual kind? US started out as this benevolent, if a little myopic, giant, based by and large by the most forward and liberal of ideologies available at the time, handcrafted into a nation by some cerebral giants, who selflessly tried to inject as little of their ...

Where in the final truth is revealed for all you lucky, lucky people. Well, I promised a post, but i'm short on time. There was another post, from yesterday. it was expunged and taken into protective custody. I can show you where it is if you ask me very very nicely. So, to give your visual cortex something to interpret I've decided to do a lil post about Discordianism. The really REAL truth about discordianism is this: It is the only VALID philosophy for our fractured post-modern ...

Survive Style 5+ random review

Mr_Death — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 18:10:49 GMT

Right. I saw a movie. So now Ima review it. It starts off with seemingly random clips where you get to peek into different people's lives. A man who've killed a woman and buries her in the woods, just to return home and find her in his house alive and kicking for vengeance, so he has to kill her over and over again. A happy and perfectly normal family who goes to a hypnotist show, where the father gets irreversibly hypnotized to believe he's a bird. A group of burglars, ...

Excellent movie!! A fitting way for Heath Ledger to expire from this earth, he went out doing his best character performance on screen. He played the joker extremely well, had me scared in parts, and the three kids huddled close..hubby just grunted and chomped on popcorn.....

Please share! 1st, ma fave Chili (mind you, chili is the food, chile is the fruit) recipe: This recipe is long stock, so if you want to replace stuff with canned versions, go ahead, just remember to adjust salt, cause the canned stuff will have some in them. Just won't be as good, but it'll be easier. I do it now and then, also substituting mince if i want the thing done in an ...

As we are all trivia addicts (you know you are, don't deny it ), and we all like to answer questions can, anyone give an answer to the following ? Why is it that when someone tells you that there�s billions of stars in the universe, you believe them. But if they tell you there�s wet paint somewhere you have to touch it? hmmmmmm *ponder ponder* I look forward to some "interesting" replies Engel x
