Out of Focus and off topic...

Calina · 2009-01-12 20:00:10

DeV has gifted us this off topic thread idea from Poker for general chat/offtopic/banter type thread. So here it is. I'd stick a virtual bar in the corner but I think a few of our users are underage, so the bar is that way and the juice bar and cafe are this other way.

Indian. Gorgeously fattening...

Best costume I saw in a long time was someone dressed as his facebook page. Of course I can't find the bloody link now..

Oh and I think polaroids are best for the bedroom :rolleyes:

Ok I'm either having another whoosh-that-went-entirely-over-my-head moment (very plausible) or that's the most bizarre use of lotto winnings I've heard. Ever. Period. Even including the fizzy cola bottles one. Explain please, in 200 words or less...

It was a great, great movie. The book was part of a trilogy. I'd like them to make a sequel. Starring Daniel Day Lewis again, because he was great in the frist one, and the character of Nathaniel is a complex one.
