If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

See, I was trying to start a discussion of naming actresses who are now how but were once child stars.
Jodie Foster?

Jodie Foster yeah, but old school, mos def.
I SUPPOSE I was slightly exaggerating in my characterization of you and your cadre, Legion. Apologies. :P

It's Legion you should apologise to, he's the one you completely misread.
Back on topic - I saw on this TV special one time, that Fergie from Black Eyed Peas used to be on this yey old show called Kids Incorporated. I think that counts.
Of course you'd have to count Britney and Christina as well... and Hilary and Lindsay... okay, Lindsay was hot till she started losing weight like crazy.

Uh, I thought Legion WAS the one I apologized to.

Have you seen Scarletts teeth? They are all crooked

My wife has crooked teeth. They're hot.
For that matter, she looks a bit liek Scarlett, but Scarlett also resembles my sister, which means that either way I feel weird.

Jennifer Love Hewitt was on that show, too. I used to watch it on the Disney Channel. It came on right before the New Mickey Mouse club that had Keri Russell (Felicity), Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and JC Chavez (one of the other N'Syncers) on it.
Disney owns everyone.

feeling a bit low today, not sure why, just feeling a bit down - trying to find things to cheer me up isnt going well.
i did download an x360 demo called 'crackdown' - which is bloody good, things GTA meets better graphics etc with super powers, more guns and stuff, decent physics and CO-OP!! - which is very cool - u can upgrade your player with lots of super powers i hear.
In the demo I can get my guy to jump 20feet, climb up building faces and lift roughly 1 ton objects - whilst using a machine gun!
check it out.

On a semi-related note: Equilibrium is coming to TV here in Singapore. I distinctly do not remember this one ploughing through local theaters - in fact I first heard of it here. Damn, we're behind.

Good good. Truth be told, I was probably going to buy that game solely for the chance to play the Halo 3 Beta, but hearing that the game doesn't suck as well is a bonus.
