Pariah Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 When they announced that Donny Osmond would be performing live on "Dancing With The Stars" last night, I was able to predict not only the song he would sing ("I'll Make a Man Out of You"; it was Disney night), but also the style of dance the couple would do to it (Paso Doble).

Pariah Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 I've seen Frozen at least 50 times and listened to the soundtrack at least 50 more. I still enjoy both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't destroy your geek cred. It confirms that you're an uber-geek. I think you got lost on the way to the weird, random facts thread.

Pariah Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Actually, it just confirms that I'm Dad to two young children. And yes, I've seen the LEGO Frozen Northern Lights special. I've never seen so much lampshade hanging and fourth-wall shattering crammed into 22 minutes before. It was amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrito Boy Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Actually, it just confirms that I'm Dad to two young children. Hmmm. Having kids confirms that you've been with a woman. I guess you did destroy your geek cred. Rails and Pariah 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 But a true geek would claim to have known a woman on the internet, so it's inconclusive. Burrito Boy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 I've never seen a full episode of "The Big Bang Theory" or "Breaking Bad", but I'll happily watch a college football game involving teams I don't particularly know or like.

Lucius Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 I think everything in Canada comes from Tim Horton's now. Comes from Tim Horton's what? and if I find this Horton guy, how would I get a nerdy Canadian girlfriend from him? Lucius Alexander Would I say "Mr. Horton, I'll trade this palindromedary for a nerdy Canadian girlfriend?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never watched much Breaking Bad, couldn't get into it. Cant watch college football that much though. Baseball is really the only sport I have more than a passing interest in (football and basketball I can watch, but it isn't the same) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnia Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 I only did "The Hobbit" -- and that's because it was assigned reading in my 5th grade class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrito Boy Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 I only did "The Hobbit" -- and that's because it was assigned reading in my 5th grade class. The funny thing is that I actually like The Hobbit. Aside from the part where Tolkien wimps out and knocks Bilbo unconscious so we don't actually get to see The Battle of Five Armies. That's one of my major complaints about The Lord of the Rings. There are so many epic scenes--like The Battle of Isengard--that we don't get to witness firsthand. We only see the aftermath. And as Led Zeppelin taught us, "The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath." (I think that was their way of saying they would like to have read descriptions of the actual battles and not just their results.) If Tolkien had actually written out those scenes in detail I might believe that The Lord of the Rings is the epic masterpiece so many people claim it to be. But then it would still be written in Tolkien's stodgy style so I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkdguy Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Didn't the Athenians have an airship that let them drop atomic bombs on Atlantis and sink the whole island?

Old Man Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Not only have I never seen an episode of Doctor Who, I can't bring myself to care. I understand that there is a new Doctor who has recently become female, which I approve of, but I am still not motivated to seek the show out.
