I want the 2-disc (or was it 3-disc?) red version of "Beauty and the Beast", but it's Limited Edition so it's selling for horrendous prices these days...

Anyway, that's the result I usually get. Trashed two DVD players with Chinese pirated DVDs, out of region.

It's called "Multi-Region" DVD player. Also known as "Region 0" or "Regionless" DVD player. I know it's a difficult concept to wrap your mind around, but we Europeans tend to be rebels.


Seriously, all DVD players should be regionless. The regions were invented for Cinemas so they couldn't show movies before the release date for their country, by acquiring the movie from a different country. But for some stupid reason they applied it to DVDs too, and what's more, they applied it to Game DVDs for consoles too. Luckily there's no such thing for DVDRoms, though.

As for the whatever that you heard from someone that something like that might be true... I'm up for that, so put me down for it. I'll take two gallons.

* Like this
‡ Like so.

No, no, and no. Parentheses within parentheses within parentheses etc. is a long and proud tradition in Germanic countries, and I am sure also in Scandinavian countries.

Why do you never complain when I go wild on the brackets and parentheses, by the way?

"Batty" was also a reference by the way (Rutger Hauer's character name)

Here sir.

Well, if you're not batty, then you're barmy. It all comes out the same in the end.

Also, let us herby found the Organization for Random Smileys.

Yep, I agree. It would ruin the whole point.

Read my posts, dammit!


Pretty please?

I don't think allergies go away, really...unless you rub youself in poison ivy regularly in order to get tolerance of it.

You could say that.

Yep, he seems to be quite desperate. I always grant him his wish, though I don't really know what a floating skull would do with a concubine...I'm not really sure if I *want* to know, actually. It does seem to involve polish of some kind, though.

After years and having seen the movie several times, I now finally get the reference...

No, I think the Tiefling girl with the scottish accent would not approve of that. I don't want those punch daggers into my stomach area, despite being immortal and regenerating constantly. Having my intestines removed a third time can't be any more fun (i.e. No fun) than it was the previous times, and it got old after the first time anyway. But despite that, everyone seems to be intent on cutting me open and taking out my intestines and then handing them back to me after I ask them to (sometimes charring them before they do so). Seriously, why can't people be happy with breaking my skull open to look if I hid any magical treasure there?

...come to think of it, I'd much rather they'd not do that either.


Oh, and WHISKEY-TANGO-FOXTROTT?! Why is there a character limit of 10000 characters here?! That's not nearly enough.
