Re: Stormtrooper turned good guy?.

They could play it for laughs... bit like the "Drink problem" gag in Airplane. It could run and run

Ex-stormtrooper dude shoots 6 shots around the bad guy like when the fourth man missed Jules & Vincent in Pulp Fiction.

Solo: (Shoots Bad guy) Dammit Chewie, this guy couldn't hit a star destroyer if he was standing on it

Chewie: (Shakes shaggy head) raaaaarruurgghh!!

Ex-stormtrooper dude: (shrugs)

Wrong Target, Wrong Method

You're right of course, but they're probably thinking they can persuade the sponsors to put pressure on FIFA to up it's game. Their mistake is that the corporates will do this anyway, or at least eliminate any threat to their investment/bottom line. I just wish Anonymous might put their collective pressure, skillz and energy in non-harmful activism rather than irritating hacktivism.

As an aside I don't think your F4J example is valid. When you get two desperate guys dressing up and hanging off Buck Palace they are doing something about the situation, they are raising awareness of issues which are otherwise ignored in society, law and govt policy. Fatherlessness is a serious business and should receive much much much more attention.

You're quite right, should be 0.75

I think you may be confusing this with the Argyle Street Parabola, in which case you must be the poke holder, not the codpiece, but only when using Trumpington's variation, obviously

Re: Ouch

Touché, a great riposte; you were being insulting then, not ignorant. A provocateur if you will.

In order to ensure an esprit de corps entre nous, a rapprochement; if you will, I shan't continue the mêlée

Still, since I'm having lunch, I'd better order my aperitif, my hors d'oeuvres, my Escalope Cordon Blue and crème brûlée from the Maitre D'Hotel.

This afternoon, I might do a few hours work to ensure my elevation from the bourgeoisie to the nouveau riche.

Swiftly followed by a little liaison dangereuse at my en suite pied-à-terre with my belle coquette. I simply can't resist her joie de vivre, jeu d'esprit and when she's au natural, mon dieu, the "je ne sais quoi"! Soon to be my fiancée, I think.

Of course, this is all a façade.

No need to RSVP ;-)
