    Random Thoughts
Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the splitting of larger threads to alleviate server load, specifically continuing the Random Thoughts thread. Participants express their thoughts on various topics, including the emotional impact of the game Bioshock: Infinite, which one user describes as "haunting." They discuss the game's cover art, noting the absence of the female co-lead, Elizabeth, from the front cover, and reference an interview with Ken Levine that suggests this was a marketing compromise. The conversation shifts to personal anecdotes, including family dynamics and humorous observations about everyday life, such as experiences at McDonald's and the challenges of parenting toddlers. The thread features a blend of light-hearted banter, reflections on gaming, and casual storytelling, highlighting the community's camaraderie.

I don't know why many people are afraid to show others their baldness, they put on wigs wherever they go. I find most bald men and curly haired men look more handsome than others.

The only ones afraid to show their baldness are actually bald people. The others are now shaving their heads. Whataworld.

Ok well I did it once.

I am not sure I will though...the hairline's receding ...er... no its literally racing. Might need to ask Borek to lend his blue wig in the worst case scenario.

Thence my answer hark
In the wretched dark
At midnight in the park
Beneath the sleeping lark
doth the wig lurk.

(can't fit in shark...)

Thanks. It was a decision based on 2 things

1) I had been laid of, so $30 either paid for groceries or a haircut
2) I was about to spend a month in a zen monastery anyway, so it's not I'd be out of place or my friends would see me.

Since he went away to PhD school, he's been quiet. He comes around now and then but doesn't post much.

I'm hoping we'll see the birdy in a few years, when his schedule let's up a bit.

Yeah, I spoke to him a couple of weeks ago, he was on vacation.

I loved the Bourne novels. Although, after Ludlum's passing, his protégé took over, and I must say that the quality of the books decreased a bit at that point.

Books? Reading? Don't know what that means, but the words sound familiar. Youtube is my teacher, and facebook is my friend. And if any text is longer than a SMS or a tweet I get bored. Some say I am "spoiled" - what does that mean? I've never seen that word on facebook :confused:.

Anything with the name of Ludlum and another name shoved in fine-print is pure crap written by a wannabe and allowed to do so because his estate likes the money.
For example: The Ares decision -I just couldn't figure out why was the style so sloppy and the plot unbelievably bad until I discovered another name in the cover page...
My favourite would have to be Prometheus Deception it was one of his last true novels* before he passed away.
(*edit)

A friend recommended it to me- (one of the most peaceful guys in the class), he challenged me that I would never get what the last twist would be, not this one...I got it after a hundred or so pages...when I told him...He punched me on the shoulder shoving me of the chair with a despairing cry "COME ON MAN!"- Best compliment ever.

I receive a message sent to my phone saying that I am so lucky to have been given 1000 points to join the game, if win, I will get $300K, :biggrin: They ask me to send a reply message to #9000 (50 cents/message). Do you think I can win the game ?

Short scientific debate at the Grand Canyon. It does not go well for the non-scientist.

My new pants are here! My new pants are here! :!) :thumbs:

For 10 years I have been wearing pants with no pockets. NO POCKETS! Why do manufacturers think women don't want pockets?

My oh so comfy new micro fleece pants have two side pockets. They fit like a glove. Evo is happy.
