Rum Jungle, Northern Territory Superthread

[Axver]

It's a post-modern superhero film based off of the graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. It's as much of a satire of superhero comics as it is on Cold War politics... if you were to ever read a comic book, I'd suggest it be this one.

It won the Hugo Award, is on Time Magazine's 100 Most Influencial Books of the 20th Century, and is regarded as the best graphic novel of all-time.

I greatly enjoyed it, but what do I know?

Ahh, now that you mention it, I've heard of that before and it sounds like it'd be a fairly interesting read.

I'm in Rum Jungle right now

 

[Axver]

Yes, yes we will.

Well, I dunno about Axver, but I will!

She'll become very familiar with my cane, put it that way.

i have everyone beat for summer weather.

tomorrow: high of 100, humidity is ~85%

this will tie the record high for tomorrow; our average high is 91. gg global warming!

I'm surprised I understood almost all of it!

I, uh, think I'll pass.

We're finally getting some vaguely wintery weather here.

She'll become familiar with my pimp cane, then.
(Yes, I have this plastic pimp cane.)

I'm willing to bet that if a native Czech speaker read that thread, they'd understand some of your posts.

Four day weekends are a beautiful thing.

Ah, but my cane is deadly. It's made of carbon fibre; splinters of that are fatal if they enter your bloodstream.

 

[RavenBlue]

You may keep the humidity, Khan. It doesn't seem to want to leave here.

I'm sure folks will be pining for it once winter arrives next week, but that's how Canucks are. We love to complain about our weather.

 

[*browneyedgirl*]

my air conditioning bills are astronomical, i know that's awful.

You should see Australians. We have a hot spell, 35+ for days on end, some days past 40C, and everybody's just about pleading with the sky for some relief. Then a cool change moves through, it drops to 20, and a couple of days later, everybody's bitching about how cold it is!

 

[Reggo]

Most definitely.

I bought The Killing Joke today. That's a good one.

At least if anybody tries to fuck with me, I can more than adequately defend myself now!

This is a good thing.
I don't need to book flights to kick people's arse.

Or do I?

There is nothing more annoying than having a splinter under your skin

Pinch, pinch, pinch

Hope it comes out

pinch, pinch, pinch

Oh the horror!

I can think of a couple of people whose arses need to be kicked but I'm too lazy.

Don't piss off the Albino railfan.

Alan Moore's one-off comic, nice. I've heard a lot about it and have been meaning to read it for quite some time.
