Random Thoughts: George R. R. Martin, Hipsters, and Legalese
The only explanation for the color scheme on George R. R. Martin’s website is he intensely hates his readers. “I want a lavender background with purple text because @#$% you, that’s why!”
I would love to read the sample chapter, but I like my eyes too much.
To me, the height of engineering is when I have no idea what I’m doing and do it anyway.
I’m staring to dislike the Republicans who call everyone RINO and Republicans who complain about labeling anyone RINO in equal measure.
So I guess it’s well established now that there is no tragedy so horrible that people will support completely useless gun control measures.

Why does only software come with boilerplate legalese no one reads? Why can’t all products have that?
Christians are always trying to force their values on society like how big your soda cup can be and what type of grocery bag you can use.

Better than those darn atheists. They don’t want you to have cups OR bags.

When IMAO is criticizing your color scheme you know you have hit rock bottom.

@11 – Hey, I *like* IMAO’s colors.
They’re the same as my high school’s football team:

@12 Harvey, you played for the Blackhawks? that’s racist or something. i played for the Indians, we were just embarrassing .

@13 – Well, the chess team, but still…
Black Hawk was a hell of a warrior in the early 19th century, and his choice as our mascot was intended to honor the man and his fighting spirit:

Hell of a thing, since he was always on the losing side. We should’ve been called the Cavalry.
Anyway, it shouldn’t be confused with demeaning cartoon stereotypes like that idiot-grinning Cleveland Indians logo.
Note that his image is a portrait, not a caricature.

So book 6 will be out this year. I guess I can read book 5 now. Did you see the knives and swords they’re selling? WOW! If anyone has a burning desire to buy a gift for a complete stranger, I would like an obsidian dagger. Well, I wouldn’t say no to any of the weapons. I collect reproductions like Braveheart’s sword, Gimli’s axe, etc.

Quality snark.
Maybe now we can take the “Dancing in the bloody of horrifically murdered children” chip off the table.
I really hate the souless gun-grabbers.
