No, I guess not fortunately we have very few species of poisonous spiders here (God save Australia, donbot ) and they are all very apparent by their colour - one is called Black Widow

you see, it´s pretty evident. Deadly beauty, isn´t it

They look awfully similar to our Redback spiders, which are just as deadly

Deadliest of all though are the coke junkie spiders. They'll bite you and steal your money

What are coke junkie spiders? Btw that pic is hella scary

I'm glad you don't have many there and yeah, they really are lovely despite being so deadly. I keep forgetting that you have a lot of socialites (like that botox monstrosity you showed me that time) because they thankfully haven't corssed over to being seen over here . Its a shame you all have to have yours and ours both though . It is something that you have just over 5 million people and so many models though.

Considering how small my country is, yes, it´s quite something - but unfortunately so many beautiful Slovak models just cease into oblivion and don´t work that much... it seems like they are not as tough as they should be to "make it" in the fashion industry. Take Lucia Dvorska who appeared in SI - and then dissapeared

For now I can think only about Michaela Kocianova or Zuzana Gregorova, Kinga Rajzak or Michaela Hlavackova that are still active (but still not really famous here) - and it´s so hard to find new stuff on Slovak models

and Joe, the "so-called-celebrity" boom is getting worse and worse here with the raise of reality series (shit) there is a huge rise of absolutely useless people who think they are famous because of having sex in front of the camera or acting like idiots. I can´t watch the commercial stations anymore because I feel literary sick when watching it. It´s either 70% of commercials and 30% of reality crazyness or a movie with 10min long commercial every 20 minutes - insane.

you just h

^h..? You can't leave it like this, Joe - YOU JUST CAN'T!

LOL ! Not sure what happened there :| .

Where´s the rest of it?? :persuazn:

I guess I got reported .

Maybe the model thing has to do with the times too. For instance, I assume that Adriana Karembue would be recognized there on the otherhand. I know most models here wouldn't be recognized. Of course, the issue is bigger on your side since they're a higher percentage of the general population obviously. I also never watch commercial stations on my own time now . Most of its either pure stupidity that isn't even funny stupidity and like you said mostly commercials and long ones on top of that.

I'm not sure what happened to my post. Either its another black hole or I got reported, those are my only two ideas on that one. Unfortunately, I don't care for redoing posts as not doing any thinking beforehand is the best way to simulate how I really talk. Seeing as how a lot of my posts actually take me to Freeze.com, I had made a habit of copying and pasting them to my clip board as a back up, so I'll see if its there. That said, speaking of off the top of my head.

I've never been much of a porn fan. I've had friends to try to get me into it but other men's balls and hairy butt cracks just don't do anything for me . To be honest, I need an epic story for the kiss at the end of a regular movie to have any relevance so storyless scenes of people coming together and getting right to it isn't my idea of a good time. That said, porn has become a big part of the internet and as a result, porn terminology has made its way across the web.

Ebony Hottie - in reference to a black female porn star.

Snow Bunny Hottie - in reference to a white female in ghetto interracial porn.

BBC - big black

cock

Whooty - originating in interracial porn, whooty is a phrase that refers to a white woman with a big booty. It seems to have made its way into general use.

Interracial Porn - Dr. King had big dreams but I doubt they went this far. Interracial porn refers to just that, people of different races having sex. What makes it a creepy phrase is that it makes it sound like just another fetish. You know, a little bondage, a little orgy, a little interracial, the usual.

Different variations using the term Cum in place of Come - what makes this particularly creepy is that the ones writing it seem to think that its clever. Cum inside (see what I did there, I said Cum, hehehe) and see the Cumforts the Cummittee has bestowed upon you. I got an email one time saying 'I know you don't like this stuff, but you gotta Cum and see this.' It got deleted.

*Edit* There it is. I found the backup on the clip board. Of course, it was a backup in case I got taken to Freeze.com as I didn't expect to get reported. Hopefully I don't get reported again . Picking up from where it was cutt off...

...you just have to know how to play the game a little. I never said it would be easy, but someone's got to do it and here are some ways.

15. Take a risk on a taboo subject and have somone act it well. The acadmy is filled with old stiffs who are always looking for something to make them convince themselves that they are openminded so tacklying a risky subject with someone acting it well is always a good way to be noticed. Even if its an independant film with no stars that they ignore altogether or even if they fill that token spot with something else that year, keep at it and you might get lucky.

14. Have a renown music writer to work on the soundtrack. The academy is a sucker for a dramatic movie with some epic instrumentals. Not all of the soundtracks nominated will even be good, so if you add a good one to a decent movie, you give yourself a good chance of being nominated.

13. Base you're screenplay on a long book, preferably a historical novel. Old America is ideal. The show is American and the academy as well as a lot of people are fascinated by stories about old America. As a matter of fact, its hard to get through a year without at least one being nominated. If you do it well, you're usually good for at least a best music score or costume design nomination. Old England, Victorian era ect. isn't a bad choice either. Shakespearean is a good way to go for best costume although strangely enough on the acting side, a made up story may get more love than better acting based on one of his actual plays. Maybe they see acting well in his plays as cheeting, I can't say.

12. If you choose old America, have a sure plan as to how you go about the race thing. if you're going to go at the race issue as is, make sure you do it well because people who weren't there like to believe their great grandparents weren't it wasn't that bad and people who were there would like to forget it so if you're going to jump out there, make sure you do it well. If you have even the slightest of doubts, go with one of the following...

A) the duo of the lovable black person and the good/non-racist white person. This works well because it warms people's hearts as well as makes people feel better about themselves and hummanity.

B) Just cut out the race dynamic altogether by not addressing it at all. A story about high society or pre-integrated boxing is a good way to go in that case.

11. If you choose one of the previous two, really go all out with the costumes. Doing this will give you a good chance of winning for best costume design as it gives the audience a nostalgic kindof feel plus you let the academy know you put some research and work into it.

10. Get a tech guy who's already been nominated to do something. These are kindof the drive through oscars, but oscars nonetheless. You must note though that the average meat head action movie likely won't get nominated not matter how good the special effects are so if you're doing an action movie, try to add some drama or some other dynamic in there.

9. Don't use a director the academy hates. There are people the academy loves and people they hate. Some of the people they hate with good reason. Avoid using the ones they're justified in hating if you want to get nominated. For example, even if its a three star movie, the fact that Michael Bay directed it would still knock it out of contention.

8. Make you're leading character is someone who goes through great adversity and hardship in their life. Having a handicap of some kind be it mental or physical would be ideal (My Left Food, What's Eating Gilbert Grape?, Forrest Gump ect.). Showing them struggle for a twenty or more year span would be even better as the audience can feel as though they've experienced their life with them.

7. Make sure there's some really sad stuff in there. If you do that, your actors will have more to draw from emotionally and thus have a greater chance of getting nominated.

6. Even if you aren't good enough to win, be just good enough to get nominated and continuously put in work. Doing this can at least give you a case for a lifetime achievement nod.

5. If it doesn't all work out in the end, make something really awesome happen at least towrad the middle. - If it has a sad ending, people will likely remember it more. On the other hand, if its all sad, it might just kindof all run together. Try to make at least a couple awesome things happen towards the middle even aside from the purpose of setting up something really bad happening. Having a range of experiences will give it some depth and thus be respected a little more.

4. If you're pretty, get ugly. - This is particularly and almost exclussivley effective if you're either a young woman or a not so young woman who's still hot. Getting ugly isn't as useful of a strategy for men because ugly men have an easier job getting roles, so if you're a man trying to get ugly, you're competing against men who are already ugly and whose talent is all they have going for them. Good looks are a great way to get roles, but won't automatically make the academy respect you. If you get ugly, cry and yell a little, you can help them to get by their reservations about your looks as well as make them think you have range (even if they didn't acknowledge the same level of acting without the costume).

3. Somewhat along the lines of the last one, play a character that's completely different from what you're known for. Doing this in a drama would be ideal of course. Being respected and suddenly doing something stupid would be the opposite of course. If you're known for being a loveable good guy and play a really convincing villain or you're thought to be type cast and you play an opposite role really well, you give yourself a good chance of getting a nod.

2. Make an animated movie. I'm in no way suggesting that making animated movies is easy, but then again I'm not suggesting any of these things are. That said, there's a best animated movie category now despite the fact that there really aren't enough made every year to even justify the category. If you make one that's even halfway decent, you stand a good chance of getting nominated. If you're already rich and just want an oscar any way you can get it, assemble a crew with some creditials in this field and finance the project.

1. Give your animated movie a soundtrack. Not only is there a best animated movie category, but there's a separate best animated movie soundtrack category. Most animated movies don't have ambitious soundtracks anymore, so even doing one gives you a strong chance of getting nominated.

The task ahead may not be an easy one, but take what I have given you and go for it. Best of luck to you .

Creepy Porn Phrases (aside from specific acts)

Nobody does puns quite like porn

Is this smile big enough for your big smile thread?

*Edit* There it is. I found the backup on the clip board. Of course, it was a backup in case I got taken to Freeze.com as I didn't expect to get reported. Hopefully I don't get reported again . Picking up from where it was cutt off...

You're talk of 'handicap' reminded me of this gem though:

Maybe you need the clause: "Never go full retard" as stipulated by Robert Downey Junior's character in Tropic Thunder? Remember, it cost Sean Penn the OSCAR!

Interracial Porn - Dr. King had big dreams but I doubt they went this far. Interracial porn refers to just that, people of different races having sex. What makes it a creepy phrase is that it makes it sound like just another fetish. You know, a little bondage, a little orgy, a little interracial, the usual.

Yeah, I guess so . I'm going to have to get back on that video as this thing's moving pretty slow right now.

Is this smile big enough for your big smile thread?

http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp221/f...erika_smile.jpg

Yes it is and I can't say I mind the eyes and the hair either . *edit* Oh, I saw the name in the link. I've always liked her and can add body to the list . I don't think I had ever seen her smile before.

^Whew!

^Unfortunately, I believe "interracial" remains the big taboo... I remember reading an article not long ago about how it still ranks highest (this is within the US) when porn-viewers listed their dislikes or no-no's. That people are still bothered by that above bestiality and coprophilia (to name two examples of things I certainly don't want to see :yuckky: ) is amazing.

I didn't know those other two were even part of the deal so that's another deduction from the genre in my book . The fact that its more frowned upon than bestiality does really say a lot though. I wonder if the internet and celebrity sex tapes will eventually be the downfall of the business though. I'd imagine it would cut down on ticket and video sales at least.

I'm going to have to get back to you on the video due to tecnical issues, but lol . That's definitely a good clause. At least it seems to be an unspoken, yet very clear rule that Denzel and Daniel Day Lewis could have given the performance of a lifetime in Dumb and Dumber a not gotten a nod . It seems there were a lot of mixed reactions to the Downey thing whereas I not only liked it, but found it actually much better than his awful Sherlock accent on the other hand .

I'm amazed though, when I read comments after innocuous YouTube vids and elsewhere how prevalent that kind of attitude is. That, say, a black man and a white woman (as it always seems to be this combination that offends) kiss on some primetime network TV show, and some guy has a fit of apoplexy at such an abomination and feels the need to tell the world about it.

Well yeah, being from the southern U.S. the sentiment isn't surprising to me, but what I do find interresting is how the internet really shows the changing of the times in terms of the standard of intelligence of those who frequent computers . There was a time when frequenting computers was associated with being a nerd or smart person whereas if you read Youtube comments and forums, you can see some of the dumbest people who ever lived speaking on every possible subject. Speaking of racists, its funny there was a Swedish guy a banned awhile ago, when a girl in Love and Sex said she prefers biracial men and was looking for half black, half Russian, he totally flipped out and said, 'whatever miss I only cater to black men.' He had such a one track mind that he just edited the Russian part out of there . As a whole, every generation is more open minded than the previous of course. Now, they even bleep out gay slurs on television.

^The internet just allows the idiot a wider audience... And every prejudice that idiot may have can find a sympathetic ear.

On a similar theme, I saw this poll 'out there' and (as you know) the phrase "everyone's favourite" will always get my goat - particularly when it's regarding la Lima! If you want an example of people only seeing what they want to see then this is a fine example:

Whilst I fully commend "quagmire" for bringing Mozart and Sallieri(sic) into the equation, his poll reading skills are suspect at best. Hello - 'the most votes'? How about Doutzen (not to mention Candice)? Ah, Limanati...

^The Lima score and fiery red bar can't be a coincidence :evil:

Lol that's a real case of seeing what you want to see alright . Even if you couldn't see the numbers, the size of the bar coinsides with the number of votes .

Not all cliches are bad. A new idea can be bad depending on who does it and a cliche can work for good if someone puts a good story and performance and such behind it. That said, cliches are a big part of television, here are some random ones .

The Sensitive, Understanding Gay Guy Best Friend - they usually walk up and down the street holding hands, snuggle in the bed with their clothes on ect. With gay characters becoming more and more common in television, this one will eventually move higher.

Suburban Kid That Hates His Parents Who Work All the Time and They Can't Figure Out Why - they usually find different ways to say they hate them before running up the stairs to hide their tears. Sometimes something will bring them together.

The New Girl Who's Treated Like Crap by the 'Popular Girls' - she's usually either artistic, shy or something and the 'popular girls' treat her like crap. One of the popular guys or mysterious cool guys may take an interrest in her. Sometimes even the popular girls may come to the realization that she's actually secretly hot when she either takes her glasses off or wears a tight red dress to the dance instead of her generally teacher sweater and baggy clothes or whatever it is she wears.

The Creepy, Too Comfortable Coroner - generally on cop shows you either have the inappropriately sexy forensic woman or the creepy forensic guy who's not only too comfortable with his job, but has to show it off by doing everything from making inappropriate, awkward jokes to eating in there.

10. The Cop That Doesn't Always Play by the Rules, but is Usually Right in the End - though the cop genre is changing considerably (in an attempt to make the police characters younger and sexier), this is one thing that remains constant.

9. The Loveable Dumb Guy - this was a particular staple of the sitcom era, which of course lasted several decades. The loveable dumb guy is usually not only dumb, but remarkably idiotic, but may either have a secret talent or occassionally come through in some way.

8. Evil, Back Stabbing English Crime Lord - at some point, someone decided the British accent is just ideal for a villain so these guys seem to make their way into every country and time period one can imagine. You can find them everywhere froum outer space, ancient civilizations and even the caveman days.

7. The Sob Story Reality TV Compeitor - the producers of reality television want to do whatever it takes to get you to remember to watch their show. One of their greatest tactics is conducting an open ended interview whereby they ask someone about their life's greatest hardships. As its an open ended interview, they then only play the answer to the question without the question and thus the sob story competitor is born and they become known as the person that lost their dog when they were a kid or whatever the case may be. Now its gotten to the point that people come with their stories ready, thinking they will give them a competitive advantage if the people can remember and sympathize with them in a voting situation. If they don't have a sob story to call on, they usually pull the "I'm doing this so my kids can dream" card. They've of course been doing it since twenty years before their first child was born, but they're doing it all so their kids can dream.

6. Big, Sassy Black Woman - With American television gravitating more and more towards young, thin actors and actresses, this one can still find work. They're most commonly either working at the front desk at a hospital or a judge looking down their nose at you but they cover a wide range of professions. They're almost always chubby and middle aged, but with slight variation.

5. Captain of the Football Team Who is Also (You Guessed it) the Most Popular Boy in School - he's usually either a tool or kindof dumb but loveable. They're more than likely going to homecoming or prom together and may be upset from winning king and queen by the underdog kid who has that as their moment to shine and finally get some respect. The sport may sometimes vary, but he's basically the same guy.

4. Head Cheerleader Who is Also the Most Popular Girl in School and Dates (You Guessed It) The Captain of the Football Team - she only ranks ahead of him because though they may sometimes switch the sport up (Zack Efron as captain of the basketball team) the cheerleaders stay the same regarless of sport. Also, whereas the captain of the football team may alternate between the douchebag and loveable dumb jock, the head cheerleader is usually more inclined to gravitate toward the I'm popular and too good for everyone but my two hang on friends mold.

3. The Overcompensating Douchebag Boyfriend of the Girl the Good Guy Likes - while I mayself usually just write the girl off for her bad taste and see loving such a guy as confirmation that she's not for me, the good guy generally falls for the girl before he knows about her overcompensating douchebag boyfriend. This one of course goes well beyond television and is prevalent in movies and books as well. Obviously the idea is for you to want him and the girl he likes to hook up, so making her boyfriend hard to like makes this easier. Despite the fact that he may be either richer, buffer, better looking or more popular than the good guy, he's at heart insecure and naturally feels the need to mark his territory. He's most frequently either a neanderthal or a snobby rich guy who just can't wait to be alone with the good guy so he can either ask what he does for a living or expound on how rich he is. "You're a fire fighter you say? Well, I do a little volunteering myself. Oh, that's your real job? Excuse me, aharharhar."

2. The Smart Asian - this is of course a stereotype in real life, but usually the one Asian character in a non Asian production will be the technology expert or the lab guy or something of that nature. Obviously shows made in Asian countries have a wider range of characters, but this is the primary role they tend to portray when there is only one.

1. The Dumb Blonde - At some point, someone must have decided that the populatiry of blondes makes it okay to pick on them I guess. Not only is there no correlation between hair color and inteligence, but most of them aren't even natural blondes anyway. None of that stops dumb blondes from being one of the top cliches in all of television. I didn't put dumb blonde with big boobs as marketing strategies now see 'commercial' looks with small boobs have their own merit as they can appeal to men while offending women less. Despite that, the character still lives on. The characters however ranges from spoiled California rich girl to German bar wench and everything in between.

Not all cliches are bad. A new idea can be bad depending on who does it and a cliche can work for good if someone puts a good story and performance and such behind it. That said, cliches are a big part of television, here are some random ones .

6. Big, Sassy Black Woman - With American television gravitating more and more towards young, thin actors and actresses, this one can still find work.

Well, since its just me and you here, I might as well post one that you're on.

I've interracted with a lot of members in some capacity. There have been some I couldn't stand and some I was or am indifferent to. There's some that seem decent enough, but that I only interract with as a result of being a staff member. There's some who I maybe would have liked more if I had crossed some of the same threads more often and others I basically like but aren't at the top for me. Either way, there's some I like more than the rest. This is my top ten members, those that have been the best to me, exhibit the qualities I like the most as w

^Not AGAIN Joe?! most as w-what??? Or is this kind of "teasing" a subliminal plea for other members to post?

Actually, the other ones were genuine mishaps that I still don't know the answer to, but I was just screwing with you that time . I was hoping that the big buildup would make it look natural, but I guess you know by now a paragraph is like snapping my fingers . I wouldn't post such a list because with my luck, someone I forgot would show up randomly and get offended or someone I added would later turn on me and make me regret it . Either way, if I was into soliciting responses, I'd have done top VS models or SI covers or something by now .

I must agree with Baron, Joe: Making a 'top 10 posters' list is going to implant a little 'political' feeling, and it may be of the unnecessary type!

Maybe doing another neutral top 10 list is better!
