I assumed you were making a joke about some pieces of wood, plastic, or metal being burned up.

No it's a tragedy. Hand-made, over a hundred years old and all designed to fit the interior by Rennie Mackintosh who also designed the entire building. It's very sad.

Hundred year old chairs?  Well I guess I appreciate the school's uncharacteristic thrift.

I'm not surprised that Ide doesn't appreciate interior design.

For a lefty he's painfully disdainful of craftsmanship

He'll appreciate it when his coffee table made entirely of DVD Boxed Editions melts.

That's nonsense.  Production design is in large part interior design.  But attaching some psychic value to an easily-reproduced object due to its vintage is the height of human irrationality.  I know we all want to feel a continuity with the past, and a connection with the human species to which we belong.  But surely we must concede that the continuity and connection forged by sitting in what looks like a $35 wooden chair that "matches the interior"--a feat almost impossible to achieve in a wood-paneled hall!--is tenuous.  At best.

DVDs are for olds with bad eyesight, poors, and possibly Gen Xers whose sense of interior design is such that it precluded them from getting a nice TV.  MAH ENTERTAINMENT CENTER (was hand-made a hundred years ago).

Guy I used to work with is a religious Jew, yarmulke and all, refuses to vote cause he has to vote in a church and has to walk past a statue of Yeshua.

What does he do when he enters a room with a crucifix on the wall?

Doesn't happen often in his world.

So when you speak of pissing away all your money in ordering all these movies for home delivery, which media are you choosing from?  Semaphore flags?

And dont be one of those techno-douchebags that says Blu-Ray discs aren't DVDs.  They're round, they're discs, and they're digital.  You already deserve enough punches in the nutsack as it is.

You know that's exactly what he meant.

[CountDeMoney]

Fucking techno-douchebags.

[derspiess]

Good on him, if so.  Seedy is turning into my parents

[Ideologue]

I meant laserdiscs, obviously.  Round, discs, digital, right?

Go out in the street and catch dysentery.
