Why are most of the people in offices total jobsworths, who are to lazy to chew their food and so bring soup in for lunch?
Alternatively: B3ta Directives, ever seen a film you liked apart from one small thing? What thing from what film would you change?

and we call him the hulk because of the very point that Psychochomp made; his trousers don't rip, so that thing obviously doesn't get any bigger, rendering it very underproportioned to the rest of his giant green body. I bet it looks like Yoda's cock.

Of course.
If willies were like boobs things would be so much better. Boobs are on full view, so there no point saying "I've got great big wobbly massive ones" if you haven't, cos everyone will know you're a lying bastard. If everyone had their willies out all the time the same rule would apply and men wouldn't need to boast to boost their self confidence. Also, women wouldn't feel the need to take the piss because they'd realise how varied and different and brilliant ALL willies are.

America single-handedly liberated France whilst those cowardly Brits and Frenchies hid in their trenches drinking tea and eating cheese. And then they sent a detachment down through Eastern Europe in Honda Accords to liberate Russia, but because the Russians whinged about it, they let them march down the path that they'd cleared for them to Berlin, because Americans are really modest like that when it comes to military history. Oh, it wasn't a proper war until 1942.

We all know that the war really ended when the American scientologists blew up Hitler, et al in a film house in Paris. The rest was just fluff to make Churchill look good.
(Ok, I'll admit that the Russians with over 20 million killed in the war had just a little to do with beating Hitler, and if it wasn't for the Brits keeping two fronts open, the Germans could have had more people to fight the russians, etc. But without our cans of Spam, you all would have all been in real trouble).
(, Wed 31 Mar 2010, 11:57, Reply)
Though a lot of historians (probably British historians, admittedly) have pointed out that after he'd conquered the better part of Eastern Europe and was struggling with the Russian front, Hitler was seriously considering peace negotiations with Britain.
What's also interesting is walking around various parts of the country and seeing old disused fortifications (I don't know how far North they extend, but certainly up beyond London). It is thought that, even if the Germans made a successful landing, they'd really have struggled to conquer Britain.
Sorry, my flatmate is really into his history and likes to regale us with this sort of thing after he's had a few. And I must admit I'm grateful for the Spam. Ever tried making a curry with the stuff?

Not good. (Also, my grandfather a a lot of spam in the Pacific in the war and it wasn't allowed in our house when we were growing up.)
I would like to see the old fortifications etc in Britain. You Brits certainly did amazing things in that time period. If Hitler had invaded Britian I don't think it would have turned out very well for him.
(We did win the war in the Pacific singlehandedly though. We won't mention Fortress Singapore.)

Is even now a complete logistical pig of an operation to invade. The Battle of Britain showed him that he'd have to bomb the entire country into the ground before he could get proper air superiority and without that, the world's largest navy at the time would have caused him some real problems in supplying his land army.
Southern England was actually not all that well fortified until the threat was effectively over, but even so there's only a few routes through the South up to London that a full scale army could take (my home town actually lies on one of them).
He'd have done better to try to starve us into submission, which would have been a damn sight easier without massive amounts of American Spam :)

Most of the casting was spot-on, but Arwen was a horrible misfire. Liv Tyler's fine in the role but, and I know the film isn't slavishly faithful to the book, I'm pretty sure it's a pivotal part of Arwen's character that she's staggeringly hot. If I'd been Aragorn I'd have told her to bog off and shagged Eowyn.

I can never conclusively decide whether Liv Tyler's that attractive - particularly as she seems to be developing her father's huge mouth. Miranda Otto, on the other hand, is a definite would.
