Major Thxgiving snow storm on the east coast.
I wonder if a Snow Cone can be made with Cranberry and Gravy flavors ...

Japan specialises in WTF flavours.

Now if I can just find a J-Pop video with snow cones in it ... and as G-rated as possible.



Happy Thanksgiving everybody.
I'm thankful for the continued perseverance of this lil' internet community.

I just got into a long argument about chaotic evil female characters in the media. I argued that there werent all that many (ignoring the succubus/seductor types which I always thought as more Neutral or Lawful evil).

The two examples I could come up with were Harley Quinn (Batman) and Jinx (League of Legends). This is where the argument started.

Apparantly Jinx isnt Chaotic evil because she blows stuff up and kills people for her own entertainment rather than to specifically cause suffering... the game's designers said so....

"Rules are made to be broken. Like buildings. Or people" -Jinx

Yes well the game designers are pretty shit when it comes to lore and explaining characters proper. If we're talking about Jinx

They specifically said before they released her that she would be chaotic neutral...

She murders people and terrorises a whole city for giggles...

[ketaro]

Which is why I said they're bad at this lol. Jinx is CE through and through, Riot just doesn't want such blatantly reckless and needless evil on their record. They tried really hard in her intro video, clearly, to not have her killing any actual people; just robots and shit but robots are people too!

For all the good this will do.

Richard Sherman is the douchiest player in the NFL.  He's a poor sport, whiny baby, who has to cheat to do well, and gets away with it, so he whines when he doesn't.

Roberto Gómez Bolaños died yesterday. I don't expect most board members here to know who he was, but to anyone born in Latin America, the man was a real fucking hero.

He'll be missed.

Wow. 
Seinfeld pulled in 76 million for the finale, no where near that in reruns.

I'm leaving my job this Friday, I don't have a new one lined up yet, and I'm stressing to the point that it's starting to cause actual problems.

I'm not the praying type, Nans, but I'll keep you in my thoughts.

Don't forget Cersei Lannister. She's cruel, vicious and doesn't give a shit about what her role in her family or society is supposed to be. She'll take what she can letting anyone tell fer different, all she cares about are her children and if she can get away with what she wants.

"in the media"?  I'm just going to say this:
Only women actually understand other women; and they all seem to f*&king hate each other .... that should tell you something.

Don't know which women you've been around, mate.
