Superthread LXV - Honouring Alex McKinnon

No it's not long, hence mini. 2-2.5 hours

I won't ruin it by going into details, but let's just say it's not something you'd associate with what you would've heard about growing up.

?? How is that a LotR?

I've read all about it without seeing it. Seems like a Gnostic reinterpretation of the story of Noah.

Not all that sensational really. A lot of Christians are up in arms about it but I fail to see the fuss. I'm more concerned they're not seeing the Gnosticism in it than I am with the fact the story shows that.

 

[Misanthrope]

Bah, these Chinese savages aren't bringing Noah to the country.

I think they're busy with the Titanic. They can only build one boat at a time...

Drew, that White Horse coffee shop in Sutherland you told me about isn't much chop. Not a happy camper!

I mean the way in which the movie is portayed in terms of animations, actions, characters etc.

Christians are up in arms about it and so are a few atheists too. I don't know why though... this is typical of Hollywood!

... so it uses CGI? You realise almost all movies do that, right?

? :? Err, what?

 

[Twizzle]

I believe in atheism

The coffee is average, that's how so.

Lies! Lies! Why do you lie?

 

[Misanthrope]

I am drinking a bottled Starbucks Frappuccino. You guys and your coffee snobbery can suck it.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Lies! Lies! Why do you lie?

I cannot lie. It wasn't much chop, hence the $2.50 price tag.

Quite an eventful lunchtime stroll:

• Martin place is full of kids on holidays... and what's luring them there is a ice cream truck giving away free fudge!
• I saw a Monk on Pitt st. scamming a young woman out of money. I know he was scamming her because (i) Monks don't ask people for money (ii) Monks don't wear sandshoes (iii) He was on crutches, wanting people to feel sorry for him (iv) An actual Monk stated all that. Never been so pissed off at a 'Monk' before... and I seriously doubt he even is one
• Saw Jackie O in Westfield Centrepoint. For a near-40 year old shiela, she still looks hot as hell in a mini skirt and heels

For the mac?

I like it. Although I appreciate not everyone shares that opinion. Still the best coffee in Sutherland though.

Ah, so you're a Mr Whippy van driver. Now I follow.

Why is this an issue?

I have a great dislike of her.

Are you kidding me man, I can't stand the stuff. Bacteria-infested fudge is what that stuff is!

Why is this an issue?

It's a scam - I thought that was a give away.

I have a great dislike of her.

Me too, although she does make for decent eye-candy. Most of the guys were eyeing her lol.

 

[Jason Maher]

LU is a little like LotR. BF is our Gollum.

Well, we resemble who we work for...

A guy begging on the street is a scam, eh? :roll:

There's no accounting for taste.

LU is a little like LotR. BF is our Gollum.

I thought the same, but Gollum served a purpose. He seems more like Wormtongue to me.

would that makes BM Smeagol?

 

[Misanthrope]

I see BF's point. Begging is one thing; pretending to be a Monk to make people think you're something other than the drug-addled bum you are is another.

 

[muzby]

drew?

yes?

why are you posting like that? it's creepy..

my apologies, i just wanted to address each and every point

hmm.. it does break up the post a fair bit.

how so?

well it gets hard to read the full piece as it feels like

like someone's interrupting you?

yes, exactly and

i think Dutchy is cute. i'd turn for Dutchy

now come on a second, let me finish.

sorry man

that's better..
