Humbug! What smash hit? I don't see it on Billboard Hot 100.... ooooohhh.....

Strictly speaking, it should be a Hit Smash song, LOL!

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Bah humbug? No but really, Merry Christmas Ant.

Societal schedules... humbug. I do what I want!

The coriolis effect is stronger the closer you get to the poles - "demonstrations" on the equator showing different swirl directions on two different buckets 50m north and 50m south of the equatorial line is just humbug.

Bah-Humbug. I suppose he had to find something, at this time of good cheer, to stimulate his vainglorious existence.
Still, could've been worse. He might of shattered the faith of our little ones by saying that Santa doesn't exist, and far from rewarding well behaved children, Santa is simply another marketing tool invented by the EVIL corporations.....
Merry Xmas Russell, you sad individual.

This makes so much sense. Why would you thank someone who spared you but murdered all the people around you? He should be chastised for killing all the others instead of thanked for saving you.

Bah humbug.

quality...promote....Humbug!

My assumption is that people don't do these things because they are intrinsically better (even though I can accept that they could easily be), they do it to make themselves seem important and special.

Eating sushi in "the correct way" is also not popular, the wrong way is popular - who's the one trying to avoid conforming to the peasantry now?

People make fun of this video, because it's not about teaching you how it should be done, it's about him showing off all the fancy things he knows about sushi and talking japanese; Look I'm so cool, I do it the right way. It reminds me of that hilarious application video that was spoofed by Michael Cera: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_Is_Nothing_(video_r%C3%A9sum%C3%A9)

If the main point is to teach people to do something right, then teach it nicely - it's even more compounded by the level of self-importance in this thread.

Some times there's a correct way and there's another perfectly fine way - I know, shocking. People don't all like the things you like, oh gosh, say it isn't so.

You, @NinjaInHeat and @arekin (and I suppose the guy in the video) are the three amigos who want to cram the "correct sushi" down everyones' throats - I am not trying to force you to eat the regular rice-cake sushi that normal people do, you can do what you want.

In essence what you would call "correct sushi" is an entirely different dish than what is normally known as sushi, so it's sort of a silly argument in the end.

I guess my main point of contrition has nothing to do with sushi, but to do with the way in which it is presented. It stinks of aristocracy - people who know the right way and therefore snub their nose at all the others who clearly "just don't get it" - well fuck, there's not really much to get, you like to eat it in a certain way - whoopdefrickingdoo.

"You know, real hambruger is hand picked from the kobecow and processed right in front of you. And be careful to only use a light touch of ketchup as a pallate cleanser, and to convey the intended feelings of camaraderie that the chef wanted you to feel with him and his cultural heritage.. and be sure to drink plenty of Sprite - this is the way to properly enjoy hamburger, otherwise you might as well just eat some raw fish or something like a fucking retard who don't even know that you only lightly dip the corner of the bun in grey poupon mustard".

Bah humbug.

Humbug! I'm going to work and avoid humanity!

thanks mate! happy humbug!

Humbug.

Seriously? Mystery Spot blew your mind?
A coworker told me to go to Mystery Spot. So I did. I was completely unimpressed. Not a single illusion was actually impressive.
I will forever be labeled a humbug, I suppose. Fine! Humbug it is. But I will cast judgement down from my humbug tower. You can't stop me.

I'm with you on this. Tilted rooms and such simply look and feel tilted. I don't perceive any sort of cool illusion from them.

If they could make the room not feel tilted while being tilted, that would be something, but being in room that really is tilted simply doesn't do that for me.

When I was a kid, my elementary school had a field trip to the Mystery Spot and I remember it blowing my mind too.

Looking back on it, I really think my teacher should have told us it was just a trick.

You gonna play this expansion?

I'm on the fence, still. If they finally update the player models, that will put me over the edge and I'll play again. Otherwise, I dunno... hard sell.

I must be a humbug. But I thought this trailer sucked.
I don't get why I should care about anything happening in it.

I liked it because it wasn't about a single big baddie that we have to all gear up to meet at the end of the expansion like ALL the other expansions.
