    I also got in on a Jurassik hunt but that was a random invite afaik. Lots of fun to be had on Protector today.
    There are shout-outs for teams on Jello Shooters too, but I wouldn't join unless you can handle bawdy talk

    To me, mud pots would only work if your name was PigPen and you hung around with Schroeder, Lucy, Linus and Charlie Brown.

    on a side note, if you have fond memories of certain movies from your childhood, it might not be wise to watch them again. i did this recently with the Neverending Story, and damn, is that movie bad...
    I was thinking of contacting one of the movie theaters here and seeing if they wanted to do an old-school 80s-early 90s movie fest over the course of a month or two - like a Sunday matinee, or something

    The movies would be ones like Princess Bride, Better Off Dead, One Crazy Summer, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Lost Boys, The Last Starfighter, etc...

    I think people my age would pay to go see those movies in the theatre again! It'd be a blast!

    These are not great movies, with great dialogue. But they filled my young imagination with awe and wonder.

    Duuuudddeeee, they are remakingClash of the Titans. 2010 cannot come fast enough, for this looks awesome!

    Also, I forgot Excaliber.

    We just have the 1 beagle - he's almost 8. We keep looking to see if there are any around, but there are not a lot of beagles around here. I would enjoy a second dog a lot, but I don't think that our youngest cat would enjoy it too much - we got her from the SPCA and she's a little skittery still to expose her to a new dog. She's scared enough of Sully as it is!

    When I saw the pic, I thought you had taken a pic of my dog

    Why not simplify things, and stick to having a mentor/student sg available for those that want to go that route, along with a global channel? Keep the mentor/student relationship informal. Drop any mention of 'contracts'. This way, students can feel free to access any of the mentors as a resource at any time, when they have questions or need help.

    Sadly, The Dark Crystal doesn't translate well into watching it today. It's nowhere near as good as I remember.

    I forgot about these ones...

    I don't know if you remember any of those but they were great!

  14. I think my fave from Princess Bride are these:

  15. This'll probably date a lot of us, but Sooner's thread for favourite movie quote has got me thinking about all my favourite movies from when I was younger.

    I may rent all these one weekend and just veg on the couch with a truly heroic amount of popcorn and watch them all...

    Ferris Bueller's Day Off
    Lost Boys (real vampires. They don't sparkle, and they're not 'vegetarians')
    Stand By Me
    Better off Dead
    One Crazy Summer
    Real Genius
    Young Sherlock Holmes
    Yellowbeard (Monty Python meets Cheech & Chong... oh yes)

    Tis the Season

    In jr and high school up here, every Christmas we adopted a family in need, and got a list of things like how many people in the family, sizes, what they needed, and a larger (though not huge) toy for the little ones. You should have seen the stuff we got for them, holy smokes.

    Don't forget, you can help out any way you can - if you want to help out but money's tight, you can always volunteer your time (even though it'd take you away from here!!!).

    It's a holiday here, Arion. Rememberance Day in Canada.

    Thanksgiving (American) is in 15 days from today. I understand it's a huge holiday in America, and people take it very seriously. As well, with Child's Play, you often get gamers giving entire gaming SYSTEMS, like a PS3, or a PSP. Those may require budgeting to do so, if that's what you want to do - hence, the 'early' notice.

    It doesn't take much for a food bank - I always like to give a few non-perishables that the food banks don't often get to see, like pudding cake mixes, or something else that can be considered a treat for the little ones.

    I almost forgot, if you don't want to give to food banks (which btw may be easier than you thought if your local grocery store has a donation bin for it!), or Child's Play, animal shelters sometimes get overlooked during Christmas. (This is where Sooner gives me a huge hug and a kiss!) Last year, I donated money to our local no kill shelter instead of buying a present for my grandmother. It's a good way to give a gift for people that don't need anything.

    Goodness I'm coming off as preachy here, but it's for a great cause(s)!

    Tis the Season

    The Thanksgiving (American) and Christmas season is upon us.

    If you can, don't forget to drop off a couple of cans of non-perishables at your local food bank, or a gift at a shelter for a child who may otherwise not get one.

    As well, don't forget about CHILD'S PLAY CHARITY, by the boys from Penny-Arcade. For those of you not familiar with it, here's a little blurb from their website:

    Quote:
    Since 2003, over 100,000 gamers worldwide have banded together through Child’s Play, a community based charity grown and nurtured from the game culture and industry. Over 5 million dollars in donations of toys, games, books and cash for sick kids in children’s hospitals across North America and the world have been collected since our inception.
    Gamers helping kids in sick hospitals. Awesome!
