yep - Storm of Swords was the best book in the series thus far.

I wish to God he'd finish his writing soon though - (and not die before he does). I started them in the 90's and have re-read them all a few times over because I keep forgetting what's happening and who is who.

I just looked but couldn't find it.

There's a youtube vid of him talking to Lyoto Machida saying "I'm a Mongol. We're samurai..."

I don't know which one of them was more confused - the Brazilian dude with poor English or the Jewish 'mongol'.

Not sure why I'm having problems putting the Youtube clip up, but here's Kevin Smith's take in the Tim Burton Superman film.

Not sure if Nicolas Cage was involved at this stage or not.

Uncle Joe - you dirty dirty bird......

Yep - Bat's should be smaller than Clark. Most of them should. Maybe not Captain Marvel.

I like Alex Ross' idea that Superman should be a big strong guy but not necessarily a bodybuilder type. It's Batman who needs to work his ass off in the gym - Supes is just stronger because of the yellow sun.

Another one for this question. And another 'congratulations' from an ex Melbourne boy.

Yep - good looking woman. Would be a knockout if she was about 5'9.

Damn. When's the last time he had anything to drink I wonder?

It's not just super hero movies - most actors in general are not playing with a 100% straight bat.

How many normal straight dudes do you know who took drama/acting class in school or college?

It looks like Famke Janssen is in it. If so, I will buy a ticket.

Having a mutant healing factor in the comics is a very cool thing. For a film, it seems to mean you spend most of the time getting the shit kicked out of you, just so people can see you healing.

I never saw the other Wolverine film, but old mate Logan gets pretty well fucked up in every X Men film.

I have faith in Aronofsky though - I've enjoyed his other stuff.

Me too - but living in Germany.

Wife spoke with the potential new boss last night. Both seemed to hit it off straight away.

I've heard that too. All my South American friends tell me that no-one particularly likes Argentina because the locals all think they're better than the rest of the continent.

Still have no idea what I want to do. 

Wife got a job offer (not 100% firm but very strong) this morning.

We bought a house 2 days ago!

Any info about Buenos Aires would be much appreciated. Sounds like a cool place, I just don't know how much I want to start all over from the beginning again at 43.

Thanks in advance.

Certainly looks much better than Branch Warren's guestposing condition.

Put me down for Singlish and German. 

apropos my statement about Aussie English.

I did not write "Ya girl".

The Aussies will know what I wrote before I was censored and made family friendly.

She was phenomenal in her prime.

Now - not so much.

I speak and understand fluent Singlish - which is Singapore English which is far enough removed and unintelligible for speakers of standard English I'll include it as another language.

Standard Aussie English. Ya girl.

My German is far from perfect but it's ok. I can teach a senior high school class (with a few giggles from the audience) in German.

My Japanese is very rusty. I also can't write in the language.

My Cantonese even moreso. I also can't write Chinese. I can't claim to speak Cantonese anymore, but if you dropped me in Hong Kong for a month I might be surviving.

My grandmother was half French and spoke to me in French all the time when i was young. I got very good grades in French at school and the first time I went to France I didn't have too much trouble understanding and being understood. I can't remember shit now though. All the German seems to have stolen my previous French speaking ability.

German was far and away the most difficult to pick up.

I can say "I found a carrot" in Danish.

Oh fuck Adonis - that's a shitty start to my day.

I've had friends who've given their dogs up because they had partners who didn't like them, or because they had to move. I don't understand it. I can't understand it.

Fuck anyone who doesn't like my dog - I wouldn't want to be with them.

Fuck my friends too for giving up their dogs.

I live in an apartment but the Sunday's I'm home I spend at the local animal shelter walking and playing with the orphans.

I was still able to gain at 36-37 without drugs, but the gains were pretty minor.

From 40-41 onwards is when I started noticing a real difference. Especially when I see myself in photos, I find myself thinking I'm a bit smaller.

I haven't had the same kind of drive to be in the gym regularly though - I'm sure that's got a lot to do with it.

That sucks mate - I'm sorry your friend has passed away. They bring so much to our lives.

My samoyed died in 1993 and my shepherd in 2008. I still miss them both like crazy. Part of the family.

3 very vivid memories I have of Bergen.

Arriving in town and seeing a female road construction worker. Yeah yeah - equal rights and all that, but it was the first time I'd ever seen a woman (hot) manually digging up a street.

Spending 4 hours in Pepe's Pizza eating all I could eat because no normal backpacker can afford to both eat AND have accommodation in such an expensive place. (waitresses - all hot).

Staring open mouthed at a high school excursion walking past me. Must have been seniors (I hope to God they were seniors) - each girl more stunning than the one that came before. I honestly thought I was looking at aliens for a minute. Then came the teacher and student teacher. Holy Jesus. I started talking to them by asking for directions. It took me a little while, but eventually the student teacher told me she had a collection of trolls (seriously) and asked if I'd like to see them. My only costs for the rest of that week were for condoms. 

Seriously brothers - I will share this with you because every man deserves to experience Viking babe sport fucking at least once in his life. I was there 21 years ago and the memories still get me hard. Remember this question. "Is it true that the women in Sweden are even friendlier/hotter than you Norwegian girls?".

Every time I spoke it, I got laid.

Nailed 3 Oslo girls. All fucking off the scale almost too perfect hot.

I thought the chicks in Bergen were all hot.

Fuck it. Pretty much every woman I ever saw in Norway was hot. Hotter on average than the Swedish chicks, but not nearly as 'friendly'.
