@ChristianRau Ah, so it comes under "tempting fate". Well, arguably you could say the same about congratulating someone in advance for anything, or wishing them good luck for some future endeavour.
@Randal'Thor Well, just wishing good luck is a different thing. But you're already congratulating them to something they didn't yet achieve. You don't congratulate the Steelers for superbowl 2017 just yet. (Ok, bad example, they will obviously win anyway.)
@ChristianRau It depends on how bad this storm is. I'm going over there in the morning. I will hang around there until the storm clears. I do that whenever there's a storm like this.
@steelerfan Awww, I'm sorry, I'm totally sure nothing bad will happen. Afterall Mr. al'Thor didn't know it would be bad luck, so it sure won't work anyway.
At the start of 11th grade they told us "now the lazy days are over and you actually have to work". I kept my habit of looking through the stuff the night before tests and got through fine (and much better than the years before). At the start of university they told us "now the lazy days are over and you actually have to work". I kept my habit of looking through the stuff the night before tests and got through fine.
@MannlyMann Oh, shit!! I totally screwed up what I was saying. I meant that you're his future stepson...not stepfather. Hahaha! No wonder you were confused ;)
@steelerfan I think the actual confusion stems from you mixing up virtual joke relations with real ones and assume everyone immediately gets the whole picture. ;-)
@Randal'Thor Well, I was studying something that interested me and I understood what people told me during the lectures. But thanks, I don't think the university was that crappy. But I admittedly didn't go to effin' Oxford or Cambridge or whatever's hip right now with the rich Brits.
@MannlyMann To clear up any confusion...I have a lot of online silly relatives for fun. In reality, I have actually met and spent time with Chris (the former Napoleon Wilson) that's why I made the stepfather crack. I hope that you're not too confused.
Not that I disapprove of perfectionism - quite the opposite! But I usually make sure everything's spelled right and typo-free before posting it, rather than having to edit it afterwards :-)
@steelerfan Hey, what's the problem? You've met and spent time with plenty of people! Meeting and spending time with people doesn't necessarily mean anything more than just that ;-)
@Randal'Thor No problem at all. I meet new people all of the time IRL. It's just a lot different than meeting someone on line and actually physically meeting them. It's all good :)
@steelerfan Yes, that one. Also another guy whom I met a couple of times IRL and then, totally by coincidence, he answered one of my SE questions. Of course, since I don't use my real name here, he would have had no idea it was me :-)
@ChristianRau HAHAHA! When I asked you to slap me to keep me awake when I was driving and you wouldn't do it and then when you did you barely tapped me ;)
Wait. I thought that it was Mannlymann that I said goodnight to earlier...God. I'm really confused. I'm so sorry that I didn't wish you my normal good night earlier @ChristianRau. God. I'm a f**king idiot sometimes!
@steelerfan At least you got it the right way round - it might have been more awkward if you'd said goodnight to me or Mannly thinking it was Napoleon Christian ;-)
Actually I didn't find it that confusing. The writing style is the same, after all. And I'm already used to thinking of him both as Cahir Mawr Some Long-Arsed Name I Can't Even Remember and Napoleon Wilson, so another name added to the mix isn't much trouble :-)
Richard Milhous Nixon (January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) was the 37th President of the United States who served from 1969 to 1974, when he became the only U.S. president to resign the office. Nixon had previously served as a U.S. Representative and Senator from California and as the 36th Vice President of the United States from 1953 to 1961.
Nixon was born in Yorba Linda, California. After completing his undergraduate studies at Whittier College, he graduated from Duke University School of Law in 1937 and returned to California to practice law. He and his wife, Pat Nixon, moved to Washington in...
@steelerfan Well, yes, but she kind of skips the whole pregnancy thing because she's actually in captivity during that period and living vicariously through her Flesh avatar (spoilers). Nor does she have to bother much about motherhood, because her daughter is kidnapped at birth and goes back in time to become her best friend when she was growing up (even more spoilers).
My mother also had Benjamin in mind, which in the past I would really have liked, but nowadays I wouldn't so much. But my father had bad experiences with Benjamins. And then there was also Alexander, which I would also have liked quite a bit, but my father thought that was too Russian. ;-)
@steelerfan So I don't have to type it again. ;-)
@Randal'Thor No.
@Randal'Thor I don't know anyone who's actually Christian and bears that name.
@Randal'Thor Because it's a nice name? I don't know, maybe it's because noone really gives a crap about religion here. But I never put much significance on that meaning.
@steelerfan It's exactly the same word that's used to describe a follower of that religion - or used as an adjective to describe anything to do with that religion.
> These were the elite. Trouble was their middle name. In the case of Captain Kelp, Trouble was actually his first name. He’d insisted on it at his manhood ceremony, having just been accepted into the Academy.
So is Jonesy's memory storage just a metaphor for his normal mind processes (well, it definitely is to quite some degree), a more substantial method of managing his mind that he just learned somehow (similar to Sherlock's mind palace), or actually part of his abilities he got from Duddits (like the ability to house Mr. Gray while still staying concious)? Or a combination of all that?
I sometimes use quote markup too, but I use quotes when I want to be really clear, e.g. when quoting something that might cause offence if people don't realise it's a quote.
Trying to remember a movie I saw when I was a kid. Prob 70's or 80's. There isn't a lot of info on it that I can remember. One scene is where a 'glass house' blows up with the main bad guy in it , at the end. I think the good guy was an assassin of sorts who had brother's (not biological) like h...

The episode I remember is a man who whenever he looks into someone's eyes he sees their past and usually saw the bad parts. His therapist wants him to look into his eyes and tell him what he sees, he then has a vision of him having a female patient who he tries to have relations with her but ends...
In movies and TV to save on royalties they would play a song that almost sounds like another popular song with just a few notes changed. They are meant to fool the audience or at least try to give off the same effect.
Example:

That is pretty much the general text that always gets added to off-topic close-reasons. If you provide a custom close-reason, please try to say why it's off-topic and what about it doesn't fit here.
@ChristianRau How about this one?
I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because this is not about movies or TV shows. Perhaps Music is a perfect SE site for this. — A J1 min ago
