QuotePeople do run into trouble with Irish names quite often. It's amusing hearing foreigners pronounciation of certain names, like the towns Drogheda, Youghal and Dun Laoghaire.  :lol:
Irish pronunciation is messed up. So hard to know how they should be said just be reading them- I used to always say Line-ster instead of Len-ster. I know the correct way now but still in my head I hear Line, it just makes more sense, there's clearly a i in there.

Today's David Lynch moment is brought to you by CREEP.

Okay, but how is that going to get Nixon re-elected.  :unsure:
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

So the giant dwarf represents John Mitchell?  :unsure:

Damn I'm going to miss Kings when it ends.  Hopefully they'll come up with a nice solid finish.

I'm bored.  You guys should do something to entertain me.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The National Geographic channel is fucking retarded.  All day today, the only thing that's on is episodes of Dog Whisperer, Dogtown and NASCAR to America.

They might as well rename it the Pets And Faggotry channel.

The Smithsonian channel HD is generally better. It is like the Discovery Channel, before it was taken over by Mythbusters, crab fisherman and bike building.
