    Jury Duty Ethics

    Now a days they let you take notes, and they give you all the evidence to help refresh your memory. You also have things like white boards so you can see the issues visually.
  2. Ping has an amazing topic that is getting ignored: http://www.canterlot.com/topic/13587-oclicious-songs/

      Woah, I'd better go check this out right away! :3

  4. I don't have an OC.... But I'm the double-U to the double-E to the S-H-Y And I'm the only guy I know who doesn't like pie I'm weesh-a-licious. er...knowing that I'm loved kinda make me feel high er...If you want to get down, I can dance like Psy er...if we're going to be truthful, that last one is a lie er...if you need a list'ning ear, I've got them in supply er...I live in cold Alaska so my skin is dry ugh. I'm going to stick to the pie one now... HELP! I was totally ninja'd by Fluttershy on this one.
  5. Or two teams make a series, and then put it up a poll on and ask the other canterlot people to vote on which one they like the best? Maybe we could get Artax/Autumn to give the winning team a prize icon? A triple collaboration between CV, TP and the admin! Or maybe a race! Two teams see who can get through ALL of their members the fastest!
  6. Actually, why don't you give me the tenth? I have an audacious idea that is worthy of the double digits.
  7. Ooooooh! Pick me! Pick me! Edit: ninja'd! Edit2: if you are planning on starting the next one before Feb 3rd, ping is the better choice. I am about to leave on vacation.
  8. Driving to work today, a large truck didn't realize that his lane was ending while I was beside him. I honked to let him know I was there as he approached the end of his lane at a high speed...unfortunately, it is very cold, -15F, and my horn stuck. It was an awkwardly long honk.

      lol

      I'd imagine it was long enough to send the message of "GET OFF MAH LANE" to the guy. xP

  9. I like questions that seem simple but are difficult to answer. I got to cheat on this one and think about it all day while I was drafting this, but coming up with more is still challenging. What about a culturally significant movie that has anti-redemption as the strike against it? The Godfather. Incredible quality, interesting themes, and an ending that just kills me.
  10. I understand the history and appreciate the source material, but Avatar was a collection of cliches. I recall rolling my eyes on multiple occasions. You'd see a character, and know what they were going to be like for the rest of the film. There was maybe one surprise in the entire plot. Then a girl that I liked invited me... In the second viewing, I probably had my eyes closed for about a 1/3 of it (an attempt to absorb less) and spent the lamer parts rehearsing nice things to say about the scenery. The beauty of Pandora could sustain me through one viewing, but not two. True that. I can think of a few films that were terribly sad that I was still glad to see once, notably, the documentary "born into brothels".
  11. Ah, is the "[colour=#282828]BBS: "And no, I have no idea what's up with that carrot....[/colour][colour=#282828]"[/colour]" line your words rather than Diego's? Are carrots intrinsically funny? Maybe not, but they have a long history in cartoons and the substitution for something actually dangerous brought a smile to my face.
  12. It stayed a step ahead of me from start to finish. The escalation was scary. I certainly didn't except the ending either.
  13. As far as mysteries go, I could rewatch those that have other things going for them, like the Sherlock Holmes movies, but otherwise? Yeah.As far as "seven" goes, I can understand not watching it again, but you are recommending it as a must-see-once movie? If I think about it longer, I might be able to decide whether or not it goes on my list.
  14. Ah yes, if I liked suspense, I could see how those would only work once. As it is, I want to see suspense movies zero times each. I was trying to think of other types of movies that could be ruined by the first viewing, and though of movies with a big mystery like "the sixth sense" but the second viewing of that was actually pretty amazing because you see everything in a different light.
  15. Another note: I decided that "carrot" could be a pony, but then intentionally designed a new male carrot rather than using Golden Harvest. Amusing because, firstly, it almost meant the return of Golden Harvest after a picture without her and, secondly, we somehow got a lesbian theme going on by the end of contest anyways. After typing that, I realize that it was likely not a coincidence that the first picture had Golden Harvest AND a carrot. It really was excellent execution.
  16. I haven't seen that. What about it makes it a one-and-done movie?
  17. Imagine a venn diagram as such: One circle is "Movies that you must see" and the second circle is "Movies that you really don't want to see a second time". There isn't much overlap, but there is a little, and of course your mileage may vary. What movies hit both of those criteria for you? Is there an entire genre that fits? Some of mine: *Stupid comedy: "Spaceballs" and "Zoolander" *Powerful but graphic: "The Passion of the Christ" *Shallow but Beautiful movies: "Avatar" I could probably think of some fridge logic movies that make the cut too, but for now, I turn it over you you guys.
  18. Well done guys! Definitely worth the wait! OIlwells' line is stellar. It reads well, shows a unique interpretation, and forces the next person to make a creative judgement. Can someone explain how to scan a coloured pencil sketch without it getting washed out?

    Jury Duty Ethics

    Heh. I was actually of sound mind during the case and deliberations. I didn't even get frustrated until halfway though the deliberations, and even then I was thinking quite clearly. I have the ability to render a fair verdict. The question is if I can, in good conscience, ask to be excused because of the effect it had on my life AFTER the previous case.
  20. The map is a complete mystery to me. Does this jive at all with the poster map? I can't even get my bearings with it.
  21. 12 entries completed thus far / 11 days and counting = 1.09 entries per day Well done guys. So why does it feel soooooooo slow?
