I haven’t read the OP or any of the other posts, and I haven’t seen “Hijack this thread”. (We don’t get HBO. Just MTV.) I like movies if they’re good. I don’t like music if it’s bad. I don’t eat bugs. I’ve never been to Spain. I used to be a hippie. Emo sucks. Atlanta. ---

[QUOTE=Liberal] Atlanta. [/QUOTE] And just what do you mean by that? Now, you didn’t say it specifically in your post, but I’m going to assume what you really meant was that you hate Atlantic City. Now allow me to go on for five pages about how you’re wrong. ---

The Atlantic Ocean beaches are ok but I much prefer the white sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. ---

[QUOTE=swampbear] The Atlantic Ocean beaches are ok but I much prefer the white sand beaches of the **Golf** of Mexico. [/QUOTE] (Bolding mine) **Swampbear** , for the last time, there is no good golf in Mexico. I should know, I read the Wikipedia article on it and it said that there are no good golf courses. Mostly because of the white sand. If you do go to Mexico, though, check out the beaches and the casinos. Sgt “Don’t drink the water” Schwartz ---

[QUOTE=anyrose] Most Stationery stores are, in fact, stationary [/QUOTE] This isn’t taking into account all of the stationary stores that are actually mobile or, perhaps, have only a virtual location. This is just like when people declare grass to be green or the sky to be blue–surely, you could say so in many cases, but not all. It really isn’t fair to make such generalities without listing every other option. For instance, I don’t have grass. I grow a variety of clover and it’s black. ---

Not exactly LOTR (which always reminds me of raccoons) but I think the guy who’s playing the guy who’s the friend of the guy in\* Eragon \* is dreamy! Definitely spongeworthy!
