No one even going to try to translate those Trinidad expressions?

Most of the current popular TV shows. Everything from Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, Fringe, and especially Lost. I just don't see the attraction of the shows. I was a toy/collectable hoarder, but sold off most of it on eBay when I moved to a smaller apt after getting divorced. The $ was most...

So I retired at 18?

Gosh, you make me sound like a couple of the lab geek "Squints" from Bones.

Retiring would require actually being employed. (grumble) That's what the wonderful world of managing rental properties is good for.

I guess I just don't get it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1b26sCHc9I

How is it civic pride when most of the players aren't locals, but imported from other cities, or even states? How do the players, or how does the obscenely wealthy owner of the team, really reflect the community?

But what is the attraction in the first place?

Please elucidate.

Painting your face in team colors: (mostly) harmless fun buying (and wearing) team shirts: (mostly) harmless (except to your bank account) reckless public endangerment: not harmless

"Oh, that has got to hurt: someone from England complaining that your food is 'bland'." --John Oliver (Actually, Ramsey is from Scotland, but it was John Oliver's joke, and I don't think many other Americans would have got the difference.) Speaking of John Oliver, can someone please translate...

Judging from the irresponsible displays of fireworks and loud detonations, I'm guessing that the CA Bay Area team won some sports thing again. Irresponsible unleashing of fireworks by children and prats old enough to know better but somehow still acting as children is something that has troubled...

Uwe has managed to make a couple of "not completely terrible" movies by accident. Don't ask me what they are--I don't remember off the top of my head. But yes, he gets all these video game tie-in movies because they fail. Take the plot of The Producers, and you have the model for Uwe Boll's career.

I can think of two adaptations that were superior to the source material. Warlock. Male witch from the time of the Salem trials gets teleported to modern (1980s) LA by a magic spell, along with the man who hunted him down. The book is full of puerile and juvenile vulgarity, such as a sage...

I've been looking for tutorials, but haven't found anything recent (I guess that's no surprise). Most annoying thing is when the instructions assume knowledge. "Do _____" OK. How? Hypothetically, if someone wanted to add classes to the builder, or other custom work, how, hypothetically might...

You say that like it's a bad thing?

Best reboot is still the "ReBoot" cartoon by Mainframe.CA

(cough)Kurtzman & Orci (cough cough)

Oh, that's a long, long, long list. People tend to inflate things as being way better than they actually are. Others just ramble on and on about something good, but to the extent that I was no longer able to tolerate the subject. Star Wars was ruined for me for about 5 years by a couple of Jr...

I consider what has been dubbed as "social media" as utterly irrelevant and pointless. I've asked others for explanations, and no one has given me one that leads me to consider them worth my time or effort.
