Of course Jolene is the hottest one! :drool:

You mean friends.... Sisters can't hit up the MENAGE without freaking people out :lol:

Um, the whole point was that they looked so much alike that they could play sisters... :?

Emberchyld, could you tuck your feet under your cat's belly to keep warm? But maybe your cat won't let you do that. My rabbit who weighs twelve pounds and lives in the house, is not a lap pet either. She likes to have her head scratched but dislikes anyone touching her behind or belly. Must be a prey animal thing. But she loves the cold and tries to find the window with the most chill draft to sit under in the winter.

I bet she doesn't have much competition for that spot.

I'm actually a little pissed that they took a bunch of AF concepts and made them into Naval stuff for the movie. Those planes, their propulsion, and even that refueling airship are all currently on the Air Force drawing board, and there's reason to believe that at least the propulsion is being tested already if you believe Project Aurora is actually real.

That's not much to get "pissed" over, especially since those same elements are on Navy drawing boards.

Then you haven't watched very many movies. Yes, it is fundamentally flawed and totally Hollywoodized, but I've seen far, far worse "military" movies.

LOL, Rigil, can you list a few so we can stay away from them? Or have you done this already and can give us a link to your list?

Or I just have a different opinion of what's a bad military movie? Take it easy, chief. :?

WTF? You're acting like I freaked out or or flamed you or something when all I did was contest your statement about the admittedly subpar Stealth being the "worst" military movie.

Worse military movies off the top of my head? Try Basic with Travolta and Sam Jackson (I still don't know what the frak was going on with Jackson and his poncho-cape thing.)

Funny, I remember you saying at one point that the dark side was good and one of your supporting points was that you have capes. ;)

I don't think Star Wars counts as a military movie.

Does it?

Not a valid comparison, though. This was (ostensibly) a movie set in modern times with Sam Jackson playing a Ranger instructor (I think - they were a little sketchy about that). And he was running around with a poncho like it was a half-cape or something. It made zero sense...

Oh, I try not to disturb her when she's cuddly... she usually then gives me a dirty look and walks away to hide. Besides, she's small (9lbs) and I have big feet, so she'd only warm one foot!

Our cats all don't like their bellies touched by a stranger (or my cat whenever she's grumpy)-- since their tummies are their most vulnerable body part, they'll tend to protect it.

Your rabbit sounds like she'd be perfect in my apartment-- she could block all of the drafts! My cat hates the cold, but if the window is open, you have to pry her away with a crowbar, regardless of the weather.

Watching: Beauty and the Geek. Gosh, do they give us Engineers a bad name. But I think I've found the "ringer" (there's always one geek who becomes incredibly hot once they bathe him and dress him and teach him social graces). And they give pretty girls a bad name, too. But it's sooooo addictive. (I wanna be on a reverse version of this show. I can geek myself down enough, I'm sure of it! Heck, last season, one of the geeks was a Trek fan. :? More stereotyping...)
