who else is fucking exhausted from everything in the world?
I am, I am :undecided:
Me
I'm taking the Blue Pill and going back to sleep. :Party:
Definitely. But I fear the worst is yet to come. It all seems to be escalating to an uncontrollable situation, maybe WW3.
Goodbye all!
Present.
I'm in, most definitively.

not at his age.
Physical warfare exhausts our spirits, too, even when we're not physically involved -- and moreso then, of course.
And there's plenty of spiritual warfare going on already, with some acceleration.
Sometimes all we can do to hold on, is grab a nail. So to speak.
But when we can't hold on any longer, God suffers that with us, too.
The history and story of Israel, is the story of us all, above and below, for better and for worse.
And however bad it gets, it's eventually for the better.
But it's okay to be exhausted meanwhile.
Peace to us all, someday, Grogs. War until then meanwhile.
What does it mean to 'grab a nail?'
Understanding history is a bit of comfort for me.
The world has seen much worse, and come through OK and sometimes even better in the end.
^I like your thinking.
Just for the record, the, 'Blue Pill' I was referencing was from, "The Matrix". If I in fact do have a prescription for the, 'Other' Blue Pill, it is strictly for preventing onset of Alzheimer's.... I probably didn't make myself look better there did I? :doh: There are actually a number of OTC supplements that can help increase blood flow throughout the body, many VERY much cheaper than Viagra or it's generic forms. If you have a Pharmacist you trust, talk with them about this. They should be able to recommend some things. Viagra costs more than the Hooker does you need it for. :shocked:

Quote from: Gusington on October 11, 2023, 08:48:15 AMWhat does it mean to 'grab a nail?'
Sometimes the only way to hold on still hurts. A lot.
More religiously, it's a reference to Jesus on the cross -- both in the sense of the Messiah voluntarily staying on there no matter how much it hurt, in order to get something important done for Israel and the rest of us; and in a classical sense of Christians holding onto the nailed feet to keep ourselves from going down. Naturally that wouldn't apply outside (except in an evangelical sense), but the secular sense can apply to anyone.
(I had about a 1/3 longer post, but it was more overtly religious and I decided not to go that far, for ecumenical purposes so to speak.)
Ah. I understood that it had to have a Jesus-connection...never heard that phrase before, though.
Well, I can't be sure I'm the first to invent it, but I hadn't heard it before writing that post, either. :Nerd: Seemed to apply for everyone whether generally or more specifically.
If I ever get a merch store, I should remember to use it! :grin:

Only on this board could a thread start out addressing all the depressing geopolitical crap going on in the world, and within the first page, sensibly and relevantly translate to a discussion of ED cures for the aging and their relative cost compared to sex workers in the UK...

I'd be careful. That girl comes with, 'Strings attached' I bet. :lipsrsealed:

It was like winning the lottery! We had six matching balls.
I went into a bar a couple of months back and asked the bartender if I could have a beer and some nuts to go with it. He gave me a Bud Lite. :doh:

Because this video was offered afterward. {g}
(Also, a real man would have said, "Yes, I'm a little upset that you're not only dating an officer of lower rank but one who's still evidently much more on duty than you are.")
Phhhttt. Typical female tactic to make the man jealous. Ryker should've seen that one coming a light-year away. Then looked Troy right in her eyes and thought about that last green Orion Slave Girl he porked. :adultcontent:

The goggles -- they do nothing.
Hm, will I be playing through the Arkham games again this winter?
you're looking at goggles?
:Loser:
Cosplay evaluation. It's a pretty good attempt. I'll give credit for the goggles in the second photo, reflecting building lights apparently. Not sure how they did that -- CG afterward, or was a light bank shaped like that overhead? (And was that accidental or on purpose?) Several surfaces of her suit are reflecting the actual studio lights, by contrast. The suit she's referencing should have been matte-black, not reflective, but eh -- sort of combines a recent comic-canon version with Pfeiffer's. Design and execution is otherwise good. The only thing really off (aside from the goggles that do nothing, but do look cool) is the weird owl-beak nose between the goggles.
Probably the mask was repurposed from something else for the costume. It's a small nitpick. Most people will never notice.
For reasons.
The internet being the internet, btw...

You see the goggles are on a strap, right? :grin:
It's not like they're attached to her forehead as part of the costume, they are just pulled up to showcase her amazing eyes. I, for one, applaud that decision.
hes literally the antidote for viagra.

That's a great video. :notworthy: :peace:
The goggles are opaque and can't be seen through (also meaning the strap is useless even if used); thus inviting a Simpson's joke reference; to set up a subversion of expectation about what I'd more naturally be paying attention to.
Although I thought that line came from a different scene while shooting a "McBain" film, so there may be a callback (or this was).
She'd have to lose the whip before I would stretch that leather. The goggles can stay.
wtf is wrong with you two? :uglystupid2:

Dude, it's cosplay, she's not looking for a practical outfit to actually fight crime. :ROFL: The object is to be true to the character in the medium represented. Comics follow different rules.
Based on the official Sideshow Toys figure, I'd say the goggles are pretty accurate... :ThumbsUp:

Most importantly, as Star has hinted at several times... who cares if she can see through the goggles? :Party:
Nerd fight!
Jeebus! Do I have to personally bitch slap all of you excessively worrying guys? Yup the shit is going down, but we all still have jobs to do, family to care for, holes that need filling :whistle: and household shit that needs done.
Just having a doable plan of action helps your peace of mind... well that and some supplies/equipment.
so..... got any more of those great pictures Star? (no, not those Gus ones
(https://dfjc3etzov2zz.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Mad-Magazine-Alfred-Neuman-what-me-worry.gif)
Mine are the best ones.
Again, it was a setup for a Simpson's joke reference. I actually complimented the goggles otherwise. (Aside from the odd beak between the lenses, but still.)
I should have posted the video reference first to explain the joke. Alas.
Alas? Isn't that a picture book of geographical information?
Alas was pictured in each of Star's photos so far, for cheering up us guys.
Alas also seems to have replaced our snare-drum smilely for ba-dump-tishing?
:privatedancer:
Still counts as ba-dump-tish I guess.
a new butcher shop opened up a few blocks away.
went in there today and picked up a few burgers for tonight.
lets see how NY strip, brisket and bacon work together in a grilled patty of goodness!
^I would expect that would work out...swell :tophat:
Kosher beef bacon? (I'd accept pork, of course, but I'm not against the other, heard it's quite good.)
it was absolutely amazing!
a real fatty patty so you get that low yield grease fire for the char.
:RockOn:
And the aroma brings them in from miles away.
'Low yield' haha
I've read you can get the same effect from dropping the patties into the charcoal.
:grin:
I dont have time for charcoal. :cool:
it was a big news day so for those that liked Conan.
