E. Writer Is this a ny good?

E. Writer He used to love the Bucks and wanted to have his entire career here. I wonder what changed? I don't blame him, though. Wisconsin fans are not loyal to the players, especially if they don't win or something goes wrong.

SJ Blues Well, WI players actually love him. Problem is, the coaching team is booty butt cheeks. Doc Rivers has destroyed this team and Giannis has looked so defeated the last few games.

E. Writer Some pancake mixes don't require any.

Roy Scarbrough I'd be interested in any comments that would help me to better appreciate the clip. Is there cultural context that I should be aware of?

Alex Morton I don't understand it, either. Guess the generational gulf is showing, Roy.

Roy Scarbrough The hero is good at martial arts, but I think he would lose if the bad guys came at him all at once, instead of one at a time.

SJ Blues What's crazy is this is the bad guy doing the fighting lol

Roy Scarbrough Oh, good, because those guys remind me of the characters in Guitar Hero gamers game. For the first two seconds, I thought they were supposed to be rock stars.

E. Writer Or channel those thoughts into an incredibly powerful story.

Eugenio Cappuccio Just dit down and begin to write, start anywhere & the Muse will answer..,,

Eugenio Cappuccio Sit down, not dit down.

Roy Scarbrough Browse some images of old paintings. Pick one that you can look at for five minutes, and nothing else. Then write down what you see and how the image works on you. The good ones are kind of machine that will do some of the work for you.

Alex Morton For what it's worth, I start my writing day with a warmup that is just letting my fingers type whatever comes out, without thinking about it. It's like a dog shaking off water after a swim. I write every day, with the goal of 1000 words. Sometimes it's absolute crap, but it always leads to something. My motto is ... let it fly ... you can always edit down. Some of my best work comes out that way.

E. Writer I hope to not see a still from that movie again. Pretty please, with sugar on top. 🙂

SJ Blues The One is a trash movie but I love it all the same.

E. Writer What about him?

Alex Morton He was a force for Pan-African unity and a true freedom fighter for the Congo. But the colonialist forces at the time, primarily Belgium, were against him, partially because a lot of his support came from the Soviet Union. He was, for a time Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but opposing forces pushed him from office, arrested and beat him and eventually placed him in a locale that was entirely unsafe for Lumumba and he was assassinated. (Belgium had granted Congo its independence, but only with a government of its own choosing.)

E. Writer Lumumba's story was sad and showed the hypocrisy of the west, but I wanted to ascertain what SJ is talking about. This is suspiciously... political.

E. Writer McDichaels definitely sounds like the guy who would be pants-ing the smart kids.
