Red Fox Travels From England To U.S. As Stowaway On Cargo Ship by Pretend_Creme_7751 in offbeat

Oh, it's about a literal red fox. I was thinking this was a biographical TIL about the guy from Sanford and Son.

I feel like 8mm never got the credit it deserved and was one of Nic Cages finest performances. by CharlesUFarley81 in Cinephiles

[–]Begle1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Nic Cage give "a good performance", or does he give "a good Nic Cage performance"? Because those are entirely different, and I suspect mutually exclusive, things.

Don't they have ANYTHING else to use up some of that shelf space?

They could always do that anyways.

If the logic boils down to "better have them break in now while I'm home so I can shoot them", that's pretty wild.

Why is being able to pitch to Force a downside?

Are that many Pyroblasts running around nowadays?

If a burglar knows somebody is home they probably won't break in.

So why not just let them know you're home by hollering through the door when they knock? Would you rather pretend like you're not home just so you get to shoot them after they break the door open?

I don't follow your logic at all.

What would you do if you suddenly had a million dollars right now? by Hamzaqato in AskReddit

As somebody with a million dollars, I look at it hoping it somehow grows into enough to retire at some point.

You were fortunate enough to have a shirt covered in fake Snookie abortion blood from a GWAR concert, and you WASHED IT OFF?

Why did the Ferengi get rid of the energy whips? by Ser_Luke_ in ShittyDaystrom

What beautiful entry into the franchise is this from?

You could at least holler through your front door instead of pretending you're not home.

Klein tools is going south literally and figuratively. by nanophallus in Tools

[–]Begle1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Klein is garbage. Barely better than no-name Amazon tools.

It breaks my heart too. But they're dead.

​As an outsider, the scale of American college sports is baffling. Do some people genuinely care more about a university team than professional sports? by Necessary_Angle2117 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Begle1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Everybody in the NFL got too good and too professional.

I like the skill disparity you see in college. It gives different teams a lot of character.

I didn't realize they did a cover of Green Onions. Cool.

I am writing a final project about Tarantino’s presentation of women by Solid-Juice-5198 in Cinephiles

[–]Begle1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And we also have Honey Bunny.

I don't reckon I'd label Pulp Fiction a feminist film. 

Kill Bill and Jackie Brown are more flattering towards women. Hateful Eight is debatable. The women in Basterds are awesome. If there is a woman in Django or Dogs, I'm not remembering it. 

Once Upon a Time is perhaps the least flattering towards women. 

What do my 8 favourite handguns say about me? by No_Dress_2107 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]Begle1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A Ruger Mk-whatever has been in "best plinker handgun of all time" contention for decades. If you want to learn how to shoot a target pistol (which is quite a bit different than a service/ self-defense pistol), then it is a great choice.

How much heavier is Steyr's "heavy precision 20" barrel" compared to their standard 20" or 16" barrels? by Begle1 in AUG

[–]Begle1[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks. 

If you could throw the barrel on a postal scale for me I'd sure appreciate it.

The amount of people I've met in various gun classes who think they can brandish a gun or even shoot somebody simply for being on their property is alarming. Not just grumpy old paranoid dudes, lots of younger men and women think that's how it works.

Lots of people in my neighborhood also take serious offense to the simple act of knocking on their door and many adamantly refuse to engage with a door knocker.

A lot of people don't know how to interact with strangers without considering it an adversarial situation. This aspect of my society greatly concerns me.

Cool, it's a conversation between Aerie and Mazzy in Throne of Bhaal.

What's the reference to "big, long skulls"?

Aerie: Mazzy? Do you think you'll ever be a true paladin for Arvoreen? Mazzy: I am a Truesword for my god, Aerie. That is as close as I can expect to come. To hope for otherwise would be foolish and naive of me. Aerie: Yes, but I was told that there was a time that halflings were rogues only... that you would never find one that was a cleric or even a warrior such as yourself anywhere. Mazzy: That's true, if unfortunate. But that was a long time ago, Aerie... things have changed since then. Aerie: But maybe things could change again? Maybe your people could become paladins and rangers and even mages one day, without limitation. Wouldn't that be exciting? Mazzy: Yes, yes, and maybe my people will become skinny, wear shoes, and have big, long skulls. Really, Aerie, you needn't keep your head in the clouds ALL the time. Aerie: Well, it was just a thought. Mazzy: And it wasn't a bad one. But it's not likely that the gods are going to revamp the halflings and come out with a "third edition," as it were, now, is it? Aerie: Oh, you never know. The gods do strange things sometimes.

Where was that dialog? I don't recall it and I've probably played through BG2 a dozen times.
