Damn it. This means I have to watch Biodome.
I do not like Pauly Shore, guys.
What am I to do?

Disposable Ninja · « **Reply #1121 on:** April 21, 2010, 01:35:21 PM »

Watch it for Stephen Baldwin.

Uh... nevermind.

Good thing we got a no-talent actor to play the lead role instead.

I've seen BioDome.

Don't.

Aeropress coffee is way too strong for my tastes if drunk straight.

What's weird is seeing Stephen Baldwin in Bio-Dome after you've seen him in The Usual Suspects.

Which is interesting, considering they follow that order chronologically, too.

Replace every phrase segment between "If..you..are...thinking...of" and "....."

with "Watching Biodome"

Perhaps you could just watch the Nostalgia Critic synopsis instead.

The Brontosaurus never existed. But rather was a misidentification of an Apatosaurus, a creature which is basically what one thinks of when they say brontosaurus, but isn't. And indeed it's not even in Firefox's dictionary for spell-check purposes.

Seriously Catloaf?
I remember that little fact being everywhere as a kid. Of course, I was huge into dinos.

(But then again, who wasn't as a kid?)

Royal☭ · « **Reply #1130 on:** April 26, 2010, 03:59:15 PM »

Catloaf, obviously. The man does not have pure dino-love in his blood.

I'll be the first to admit that I was an idiot as a child. And an asshole.

I hate my past self. I can barely remember most of it, but what I do remember I can't relate to and am ashamed of. When I first realized this, my first thought was that up until a certain undetermined point, my body was inhabited by a soul other than my current one and somehow I had gotten swapped in and forced to deal with that dick's bad decisions. The next thought was whether or not I would be shoved out of my body by another soul at some point.

Then I became aware of how absurd it all sounded and stopped thinking about it.

But now I think it'd make a decent plot device for a story of some kind.

Brentai · « **Reply #1132 on:** April 26, 2010, 04:20:24 PM »

I always found that whole argument pretty stupid. The whole Bronto/Apato thing is nothing but the result of some extremely petty paleopolitics, and it doesn't exactly change the shape of the creature's skull if you call it whatever you want to. I mean, if you asked a dinosaur itself, I'm pretty sure it would tell you its name was ROOOOOOOOOOAR!.

Mongrel · « **Reply #1133 on:** April 26, 2010, 05:12:27 PM »

Er, wasn't the Brontosaurus a fraud, the combination of an Apatosaurus body and a Brachiosaurus skull?

EDIT: Yep.

When the US deposed Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega, they blasted his mansion with pop songs to coax him out. This is the playlist.

Gentlemen, your mission, should you choose to accept it.

Notice how our army pulled off the first Rick Roll?

Lottel · « **Reply #1137 on:** April 27, 2010, 05:39:26 PM »

I like most of those songs on the list.

If you just learned that today, it might not be as true as you think.

Tablet PC's rule. I just-purchased one from eBay the other week with a small portion of my tax return. I am handwriting this post, as well as my notes for my final. This is nice.
