The Gunga Diner- Unofficial WatchMen Lounge

[TinkTonks]

I never watched that much. It was about the time I gave up on TV.

Haha, can't blame you for giving up on TV! I just liked DS9 because it was a lot more dark and somewhat pessimistic, which is basically the opposite of what the original Trek ideals were about. It's somewhat the black sheep of the Star Trek series, which is probably why I like it so much!

how do you live?

 

[squeekness]

how do you live?

I watch my shows online or on disc or on NetFlix. It's the commercials that kill me.

I see, yeah if someone who hadn't watched TV with commercials in a while, it'd get annoying QUICK

 

[squeekness]

I even have SIRIUS radio. No commercials there either.

haha, that's funny....

I kinda like radio commercials because you gotta use your imagination to envision it

haha

It gets abusive tho when you radio surf and every station is on commercial. I guess I'm just getting burnt out. the last time I saw a movie, I saw three commericals before the previews even came on. They're everywhere.

The worst radio commercials *ever* are those for things like the "price police" (used for a car dealership around here) or any other ad that uses sirens as a sound effect. That always gets me when I first hear those...I think, oh crap, am I getting pulled over?? But then I realize it was just on the radio. I swear, if I crash because of obligatory use of sirens in radio ads, I'm'a gonna suuuuue!!

 

[squeekness]

Never had any trouble with sirens, I just get annoyed with people trying to sell me stuff. I already have a bad attitude about Christmas and it isn't even Thanksgiving. It's all so commerical.

You're tellin' me!! I work at the crappy mall! It's not to horrible since I switched jobs....I work at a shoe store now, but I used to work at Hallmark. They would start putting their Christmas stuff out in July! I had the joy *cough*sarcasm*cough* of putting the tree out and decorating it with all of their Christmas ornaments last summer. People were walking by and looking at me like I had kicked their dog or something. It was ridiculus!!

The day after Halloween the Christmas crap started going up. I remember when they started after Thanksgiving. Guess those days are gone.

yeah, I usually don't bother, just keep it on one stations, grin and bear it

I KNOW! I hate that, christmas songs are annoying enough as it is

 

[Hurm...]

Anyone here know where I can buy those Watchmen pins? I've been searching online but no luck.

 

[the_tortel]

I know one thing it's dang near impossible to locate the movie version one with the realistic blood... haven't had any luck there

 

[squeekness]

I haven't seen any around, sorry. Maybe at Spencers or some place online? Google is our friend.

For Christmas this year I'm asking for two TDK posters. I know I definately want to go with the burning bat logo one. But I want a Joker one. Should I get the why so serious one or the one where Joker is standing with the machine gun?

I might go with the machine gun one. It's kind of like a mirror reflection to the characters. Batman is standing amid choas unsure and having to handle it and the Joker is loving it.

Plus, does anyone know where I can find both at with the measure of 27x40?

They are laying off people at my factory. About 28 people or so. But not me. I have 20+ years so... but I feel bad for those who have to go.

I'm going to be ten pounds heavier when I get up tomorrow. I ate too much.

Pretty random question, but it seems like there's alot of americans here. Is thanks-giving on the same day every year, or is it like easter? I only ask because nobody here notices, and we would with most set-date holidays.
