My favorite color of anything is black, the blackest you can get. And don't let any tell you that black is not a color. Ask any artist. But blue is nice also BTW, getting the blackest you can get is a bit of a trick and diffictult to boot. They are still finding new ones. And, yes a black hole would almost be the ultimate black, but still there's radiation … and I should really just quit this now, shouldn't I?

I imagine I'll have to see the new Star Wars at some point, but right now I'm more excited about Hateful 8, roadshow version probably.

The opening to 'The Twelves Dreams of Dr Sardonicus' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPzvHV1yTbk. Spirit. I absolutely loathed the song 'Nature's Way' until I heard it in the context of the album. Now it is an integral part of what I recognize now as possibly the best psychedelic album ever. And I was there, sorta. On the cusp of the 60's-70's. I saw Jimi Hendrix (I also saw Benny Goodman and the Sex Pistols; probably makes me the only human to be able to claim that). At any rate, I claim 12 Dreams to be the best psychedelic album ever made. Best heard with really good speakers.

I started masturbating before I can remember. Literally. When I was 3 or 4 I can remember wondering just when did I start doing this and even then it was too far in the past. It was something I'd do to go to sleep more than anything else. Of course things got really out of, er, hand at puberty  ;D

As to Hillary, she beats out every Republican in the field. Which is saying something horrible about Republicans. Bernie is my pick and I actually do think he has a chance (I once thought some unknown black politician from Chicago had a chance too. Well.). So I'm going with Bernie and it really is because Elizabeth Warren refused to run. She was my first pick.

Since I had never heard of him before, I wan't a fan. Until now :cheers:

Sure, but would I be any good at it? I mean, this takes some doing way above and beyond simply having sex. I'd probably be better at Hamlet than as a porn actor, and that's saying…something.

Hum, unless something has changed, DBB has been (or was) rather good about sharing. I was in a group where they simply asked that the new stuff not be shared (perfectly reasonable). Then again, this was when groups were a viable thing… So who nose

Good God, someone else has seen Compulsion I'm going to give you Clownhouse because even tho the director, Victor Salva (did Powder also) went to jail for diddling the boys, he still made an awesome film.

Course, if you want scary (read: horrible, nasty shit) go for House of 1000 Corpses along with the even more depraved Devil's Rejects. But of course, this is subjective.

Responding to earlier replies: Lolita. Wow. That is an odd (and rather awesome) pick. If you haven't read the book, know that Humbert really has to work at shooting Quilty at the end. I mean, well, it is much more messy than the film. To the person that picked Solaris, I have to ask, which one? I've only seen the (intentionally) tediously long one by Tarkovsky.

My pick is Once Upon A Time In America. I adore this film. Ask me why :cheesy2:

Can't really hate him. For one thing, even with all that silly ink on his body, he's still cute. I never actually have to listen to him unless I want to (see previous sentence). He's a survivor in a biz that can devour kids and in fact has topped charts again just recently. No mean feat. I mean, where is Jonathan Taylor Thomas (JTT) now, huh? I mean, er, other going to Columbia, Harvard and St Andrews University and graduating and all …. My point -- and I do have one is that there's also guys like Johnathan Brandis [hung himself]. Getting thru puberty is hard enough. Add fame and sudden money; it's got to be a bit insane. I'll just have to wait for a while to see how Bieber does before I can hate him.

:){yes, yes, referencing Ellen}

Welcome from another Austinite. Our city's new motto should be Land o' Cranes (Austin being the fastest growing city in the US; am not completely happy with that, but…

Eh, I'm going to say, "hold off". At least for a week if not a month or more (remember this 'upgrade is supposed to be free for at least a year). Mind, I'm kinda excited about 10, but some things are very off-putting. Updates whether you like it or not. Uh, MS hasn't had a good track record recently and it looks as if the home version will take the brunt of whatever hit might happen (sorta, "Thanx unknown beta-testers!!). So there's that…

He's been cute for years, even back when he had braces!!  :cheesy2:

Probably hardbacks, but I'll take anything, even some of the free stuff (say like at http://www.gutenberg.org/) that's in .txt form. I've even taken the trouble of turning some of those .txt files into actual document form (.doc and .ods) which required line by line editing. This takes a while when it's Dickens   I'm a voracious reader. Apparently,  when I came home from my first day at kindergarten I was totally pissed off and didn't want to go back because they were simply _not going to teach me to read that year.

Check out http://www.nifty.org/nifty/ if you haven't seen it. Essentially a huge collection of erotic stories by amateurs. Some really suck badly, but some are pretty good.

Also, audio books can be interesting. There's audio versions that you can find (used to at any rate) that are not simply read, but are done pretty much like a radio play with various actors and sound effects. You really have no idea what you've missed until you hear a good radio play. It is no wonder that earlier families would gather 'round and stare at the radio. "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" was originally a radio program before it became a book. This type of radio is awesome!!_

I kinda could care less about the format of what I read. Nonetheless, give me a book in hand. Ok. Dammit. I do care. Gimme a book anyday.

Kind of a pointless once I thought about it.  But I will go for the muscles that make you smile. :afr:{just 'cause}

I've tried one, but it plus my oldish equipment made it too annoying to use. But on that score, have you looked at Tribler as a torrent handler?

@tuckstee:

In a folder called "Donny & Marie Osmond's Greatest Hits". I think no one will check there.

Uh, I used to watch the Donny and Marie Show (or whatever it was called). First, because I still thought Donny was kinda cute, but then mostly because the show was such a train wreck, so horribly awful, that I kinda prided myself on being able to sit thru an entire hour of it. A bit like  bragging about, "Yep. Not only have I sat thru Salo (er, actually more than once), Cannibal Holocaust and Nekromantic, but I've also sat through a full hour of Donny and Marie. Multiple times (altho, granted, it took some working up to do the full hour)."
