Quote:Are they about 45 years old and from Ohio? Might be the same two.My mom's cousin's kids (I don't know what that makes them to me, other than "not an option") are named Faith and Hope. I always felt bad for them.
I can't tell if those are your second cousins or not. I tend to think not, which makes them legal. -
Here's the Social Security Administration's baby name database.
You can look up names or years. Very cool. -
Seven of George Foreman's 10 kids are named George. The boys are all George, while the daughters are Georgetta and Freeda-George.
Some guy back in the 90s named all his kids -- even the daughters -- John.
While I admire African-Americans' ability to just put random syllables together to create a name, sometimes it gets a little odd. I was in a store about a decade ago with a black woman who had three daughters. She called them by name and I was surprised to hear the first one was named Mercedes, which is the definition of a classic old-school name. The second was Lexis, which I assumed was just a shortening of Alexis, going with the classic theme. But then she called the third one Infinity... and suddenly I realized she'd named them after luxury cars: Mercedes, Lexus and Infiniti. Poor girls.
And then there's this woman, who's real name is Marijuana Pepsi Jackson.
On the other hand, I knew a white girl named Crystal Chandra Lears, and sisters named Faith and Hope. (I asked them if they had a brother named Optimism. They didn't get it.)
When I was a kid, it seemed like one out of every four girls was named either Lisa or Lisa Marie. Turns out Lisa was the most popular name for girls for about a decade back in the 60s and early 70s. And Lisa Marie Presley is 43 years old. Interestingly, for the first time in 55 years, Elvis has dropped off the Top 1,000 Baby Names list. -
It gets even worse than that: the universe is infinite but information isn't. Which means that somewhere in the universe there is another Earth that looks exactly like this one with exact duplicates of everything and everyone playing out the exact same way. No need for parallel universes any more!

Never have to leave the house. I think you know what I'm trying to say.

It would have to try really, really hard to be as bad as CofT.

Kind of a boringly typical trailer, but I think Momoa looks pretty good. His sword work looks awesome. Compare it to Arnold's much clumsier stuff in his trailer. We're not allowed to link to it, but it's easy to find.

Oh yeah -- I got Transformers from the library in order to count the explosions. In the first 9 minutes I counted 29 definite kabooms and 4 maybes. After that the incredible awfulness of the movie kept making me lose track. I guess I can renew it and try again.

Quote:What are they? Maybe I have them.Typical me, I watched the trailer and thought,
"I must have that music. Oh there's a film that goes with this? Screw that, I wanna see what *I* can make with this music!"
Found both pieces, but the second isn't the choral remix from the actual ad. Boo hiss. Must find, must find, must must must.
Hubby will probably go see the movie - I might go with him. Otherwise I'll be seeing HP7b.

My neighbors had twins about that same time. Named them Luke... and Laura. Some folks may need their moms to explain that one to them.

Really good actor, really bad casting.

Quote:Probably why I've deleted mine.Actually I would hope they never saddle us with a branching system like the VEATS again. I love my Crab. I adore my Bane. My Fortunata positively makes me giggle.
I did NOT love my Crab and Bane being AR blasters for the first 24 levels. The claws scrapper period my Fortunata had to endure positively gave me hives.
If you re-roll a PEAT is it a rePEAT? -
I agree. I hate this kind of design, not the least reason because it's usually not understandable without expending ridiculous amounts of time planning ahead. I have to plan ahead all day every day at work, I don't want to do it for entertainment.

Since we've given specific reasons why it's bad and you just keep saying, "Nuh-uh, you guys are doodyheads," I'm going to consider this a win on the anti-CO-character-editor side. Thanks for playing.

You guys just think she's climbing the tree to gut you, when she's really coming after me. My entrails will be spilled! Mine!
