    I think this person is trying to convey to you that your reaction might be a bit heavy-handed.

    Ranking the Star Treks

    Actually, I do vaguely remember the TOS animated series. I liked it, possibly because I was 7. Maybe it was good despite that?

    Ranking the Star Treks

    I'm not a huge Star Trek guy (although I did watch the entirety of TOS in reruns as a kid, several times over... strong memories there, let's call it an emotional blueprint), but here goes... TOS Strange New Worlds (recently saw some of this... very impressed!) TNG Picard Discovery (saw the...

    Celebrating 50 Years of Chaosium!

    I was also a broke kid... I did spend some of the hoard I'd amassed from paper routes and other odd jobs on this (and the Lankhmar set!). I got hooked on the novels in the mid-80s so jumped on this when I found it.

    Are Ghosts Real? (a poll)

    Now this is a response I can get behind. Well-played.

    Are Ghosts Real? (a poll)

    Err... what? How is that a counterargument? But points for using the word 'coxswain' in a sentence. Let me take this from the top. You started by doing that thing that polite folks should never do: be a grammar policeman. You then compounded your offence by committing the cardinal sin of...

    Are Ghosts Real? (a poll)

    'The English language disagrees with you.' is what one might call a metaphor for 'English speakers accepted use of the English language disagrees with you'. Which is a bit different from me disagreeing with you right?

    Are Ghosts Real? (a poll)

    The English language disagrees with you. It's perfectly acceptable to use 'implies' metaphorically. Consider the following sentences: "Her frown implied her disapproval." "Your utterance of that 'nugget of knowledge' implies that its source is flawed".

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Question for any Canadians on the thread: I'm noticing that a lot of US posters seem to have their fingers on the pulse of/visit at a high frequency fast food joints. I almost never go into them... the few times I did over the last 15 years or so was a couple of times a year because the kids...

    Which Chips (or Fries) Are the Best?

    I'm not disagreeing with you! I'm just saying given the constraints of the choices in the OP list, homestyle is the round hole that this particular square peg best fits...

    Which Chips (or Fries) Are the Best?

    Wiarton Willie! The Canadian equivalent to Punxsutawney Phil.

    Which Chips (or Fries) Are the Best?

    Parboiling (5 or 6 minutes, tops... pat dry afterwards!) French fries or home fries before either frying or baking is a must in my book. Crispier exterior, softer/fluffier middle.

    Which Chips (or Fries) Are the Best?

    In these parts, fresh cut fries are usually prepared this way.
