Rhonda Huntress Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 And for something completely different ... Bespoke. I always found this to be a funny word. It does not look to me like it should mean what it means. It never fit right in my mind. Other similarly made words like belittle, behave or become don't have this strange disassociation like bespoke does. It's like bespoke is not a native word to me. I hear it and have to translate it in my mind first before it makes sense. Am I alone in this? Does anyone have other words like this that don't fit to them? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I behalve, it’s like halfway behaving. Bespoke seems to be re-entering common usage, i.e., “I bought a pair of bespoke jeahs.” Speshul! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that one is an odd word, though I don't even remember the last time I heard it. I'm sure I have similar words, but currently drawing a blank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We rented Kingsman 2 a couple of days ago and I saw it on the shop window. It has been like a earworm since. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) Today's new reason for adding a store to my "never shop there" list: Enforcing their stupid 'No Fly' setting with a 'TP Home' when they aren't even located on any sort of RP sim. Hell, I wasn't even flying around, I just didn't land after TPing in -- my browser is set to 'alway fly after TP' because it lets me quickly get away from the landing point. I totally understand in a RP sim - and I follow the rules in RP sims. UGH - stupid stores. Edited March 30, 2018 by LittleMe Jewell 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clover Jinx Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 The history behind the making of this film (there's even a documentary about it which is amazing all on it's own) is stranger than the movie Brazil, but I am sooooo excited it is finally being released. Just wish my dad could have seen it. Jonathan Pryce and Terry Gilliam together again, heck yeah! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhonda Huntress Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 My "angry" comment comes from a saying in "American Gods." It is not PC in the least bit and the language is colorful, but ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTz80Ur2XeQ Angry gets [stuff] done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madelaine McMasters Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 7 minutes ago, Rhonda Huntress said: Angry gets [stuff] done. I can't sustain my anger for long and often get burned by it. It's tactical and should be deployed carefully. I'm more strategic (lazy?) and prefer to turn other people's anger against them. It's doubly rewarding to get stuff other people don't want done, done... using their effort. I do understand your concerns about apathy and indecision, but I don't need to get angry to break through that. I just do something stupid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
