That started back up? They should've left it without the last two minutes of the last episode.

In fact, it was incredible TV until the twist was revealed. Then...

Tell you h'wut, Clinton may be in a bit of trouble.

I trudged as far as s2 Ep.3 it's just awful, life's too short when the ceiling seems more interesting.

This fascinating story gives the opportunity to post these gratuitous pictures of these 3 very attractive Estonian identical triplets who will all be running the marathon. All 3 have run in the low 2hrs 40 minutes or high 2 30's and the qualifying standard is 2hrs 45. Just remember the 3 L's or the 3 double L's form Estonia.

Leila, Liina and Lily Luik from Estonia will make Olympic history when they cross the start line for the women’s marathon in Rio. Twins competing in the same event is not uncommon at the Olympic level. But the Luiks are believed to be the first identical triplets to compete against each other. The 30-year-old sisters, from the southern university town of Tartu, only took up serious distance running when they were 24.

“We have been active since childhood, we love dancing, we love to be active and this pushed us to professional sports,” Lily said. Liina, who got the sisters to start running, said long distances appealed to them more than the technical nature of sprinting. After a couple of years, they realised they were good enough to compete internationally and decided to try for the Games, under the slogan “Trio to Rio”.

Have you seen that Swedish series - was on SBS last year - I think it was called Hubot about robots who were very human like and a few rogue ones wanted to take over from humans?. They look a bit like one of the females on the show.

"I had a hard time watching "Wolf Creek." It is a film with one clear purpose: To establish the commercial credentials of its director by showing his skill at depicting the brutal tracking, torture and mutilation of screaming young women. When the killer severs the spine of one of his victims and calls her "a head on a stick," I wanted to walk out of the theater and keep on walking"

They'll take you over alright, before you know there'll be a ball and chain around your leg!

Hahaha, idle chatter.

It's almost like he'd never seen a horror film, seemed to shake a few up the first Wolf Creek.. the first shed torture scene did have an authenticity to it but it never "crossed any lines" for me.

 

[philthy05]

I'm just not into these torture pr0n movies. Hostel. The hills have eyes. Yuck. They Just use shock factor instead of a good story or plot. Gimme a tense thriller like the original terminator or alien instead.

What would cross a line?

While the warning “no one wants to hire someone with a tattoo” is the kind of thing your grandmother might have offered up, it turns out she may have a point.

There is no national law stopping employers from banning tattoos in the workplace, or from dismissing a job applicant because of their tattoo.

I guess "misogynistic torture pr0n horror" does for Ebo but cripes that's been going on in horror for donkeys.. omg the guy with a mask that kills female campers by the windmill hates women omfg!!

Then he was telling me the story of how a patient who was brought in by the police - calm, completely lucid and very normal kept saying how he knew he stuffed up and that he was sorry but he really didn't belong in there. Next thing that happened, a nurse gives him an injection and suddenly he can't even talk and drool is coming out of his mouth.

Picture that for a moment - being trapped inside a mental ward and inside your own head...knowing that you didn't belong there but not having the capability to express yourself to anyone who could do anything about it.

It's when you truly consider that that you understand how someone could hang themselves by their IV cord...which is another thing that he witnessed.

The world is stuffed. There is bad shit going on that you wouldn't even have the capacity to fully comprehend, which is why we desensitise ourselves to it.

God left this place a long time ago.

Has your friend read much Ken Kesey?

TELEVISION veteran Kerri-Anne Kennerley has come out in support of embattled TV presenter Sonia Kruger, publicly offering her words of advice.

“Stay brave” was Kennerley’s message to Kruger, who has weathered an intense public backlash after calling for a ban on Muslim migration to Australia during an episode of Today Extra last week.

The "Middle-aged, once-attractive white woman attributes decline in relevance to hairy people." thread
