I spent almost 3 hours at the brewery and I swear it felt like 45 minutes :huh: That Belgian Quad is good.

I have long thought that France and (unified) Germany on the same side would be trouble for anyone in Europe not named France or Germany.
Mainly Italy :lol:

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Ebert suffers from several flaws.  For one thing, he takes himself way too seriously.  He also is old, and is thus culturally irrelevant.  Games aren't art my ass.
They aren't art.
See, I don't expect any better from you.  You don't exactly have a reputation as a deep thinker, you know?
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

"Ask an adult to help you with assembly."
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

They still aren't art.  There is no need to justify a hobby like computer games by claiming they are art.  They can be just, you know, games.
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

Is architecture art, Raz?  They can be just, you know, buildings.
