I would love to see that. Little budding psychopath!

I would've disassembled enough bullet cartridges to make an IED which I would then have detonated in my mouth, just to make us libtards feel guilty for talking about RW headsplosions all the time.

It's Cockney rhyming slang.

I think you mean "throat-wobbler mangrove".

His Lordship is engaged in discussions of a delicate nature with a lady with whom I believe you have some acquaintance.

Pfft, I'm disappointed that Michelle is so bush league. In 2008 Laura Bush ordered a new china service, despite the fact that the White House still has the Reagan service, the Clinton service, and about 14 other china services. The official George W. Bush State China Service (total price tag: $492,798*) consists of 320 14-piece place settings. It arrived in January 2009, shortly before the Obamas moved in. I guess Laura was concerned that a couple a black folks from the south side of Chicago might get all panicky if they had to pick out their own dishes.

*Paid for through private funds from people seeking to ingratiate themselves with the First Family, as per usual.

Unless you're a fan of tickytacky sixties TV scifi, skip Old Who and start with the 9th Doctor, Christopher Eccleston (just one season, but brilliant). I like Eccleston best, but the following three are all really good, in different ways. The whole thing has an arc, as each Doctor becomes more awsumly powerful, employing the arcane secret powers of the Time Lords to master space and time. So you should watch straight through from there: 10th Doctor (Tennant), then 11th Doctor (Matt Smith), then 12th Doctor (B. H. Obama).

Somewhere in there, if you're curious about the earlier Doctors, I recommend watching a couple of episodes of Four (Tom Baker, the famous one with the long scarf),, perhaps the 4-part Pyramids of Mars, and maybe a couple of Five (Peter Davison).

Never.

Peter Davison was my favorite! Jon Pertwee was my first, and your first is always special, too, also.

I do believe that the last NPR pledge drive in oct was giving all 3 seasons- they made a biiig fuss about season 3 being a part of the boxed set- for a $240 pledge.

They used to be, but analogue switch off is complete, and ITV has an HD channel which broadcasts in 1080i (over DVB-T2 for terrestrial).

ETA: it's presumably 1080i50, though, which can pose issues if your set really wants to run at 60Hz.

If you're playing on a PC, you could always get a second drive and leave them set to different regions.

I was getting <i>so fucking tired</i> of all the wingnutz' "Benghazi blather blather Obama blather blather Benghazi" shit. Thank goodness they've found something else to be outraged about!

You should be able to switch your region code up to 5 times on a DVD drive. At least, that always used to be the case. It also used to be the case that many, perhaps even most, drives had cracked firmwares available that made them either multiregion or infinitely region-switchable.

I'm slightly surprised that AnyDVD is still available for sale - it works by cracking CSS (like DeCSS, binary distribution of which has been relentlessly and successfully targeted by copyright lawyers armed with DMCA).
