*sigh* I spoke too soon. The Shire political meltdown has recuscitated. Fur is flying, and the whole thing has taken off into the realm of macho martial muscle-flexing. (khoi-boi, I love you dearly but I really don't think you're helping). My headache is back

I should have pinned you down to find out about the imploding shire!

Not really. Volunteer organisation politics is (a) ugly, and (b) largely incomprehensible to outsiders. You're probably better off not knowing the gory details ;>. (I rather wish I didn't).

I had a polite debate with bumpy about Superman Returns this evening. I too am looking forward to this lauded reclamation of the iconic hero. Bumpy went "Pffff!" in that dimissive way of his. :)

Btw, The Onion also had an amusing list of Supe's old foes we probably won't be seeing in the new film. Tire Racketeers - hehe.

dimissive = dismissive

I was wondering if that was a set of two letters bundled in a single envelope, di-missive.

Portmanteau! *channels Humpty Dumpty*

Or a single letter propounding two diametrically opposed points of view.

Interesting articles that Jenkins fellow has.
Must say I was rather impressed by

By what? There's an Evil Cyberspace Sentence Eater out there! Or are you simply trying to make me twitch, given my known grammatical proclivities?

[herne_kzn]

There is in fact an Evil Cyberspace Sentence Eater out there. That should read
"by khoi_boi's patience and lack of rant"

I'm more impressed, actually, by the rest of the Shire, who are basically refusing to be drawn into what for want of a better word I suppose we could call a debate. Same principle as "don't feed the animals, it just encourages them." The problem is that the two sides of the debate are on different planets, and any continued discussion tends to simply reinforce that fact.
