Thank you, a rare moment for me.
You've probably won it before and I just was to lazy to post so. I may make the post of the day a regular occurance. May promote quality posts in the thread.

I like Avatar. It's definitely a good series though if I think you'll probaably end up disappointed even if you find a similar show.

He went on vacation around the time you showed up.
Ah. It sounded like a nice vacation. I'd like go to Ireland, or anyplace in Europe for that matter, as I've never left the US.
I have been to Canada and Mexico. Dont feel bad. President Calvin Coolidge never left his home state of Vermont until he was 19. and Vermont one of our smallest states.

Some were good, but now it is hard to take a movie seriously when a 20 year old is supposed to be portraying a 16-17 year old.
In the grand scheme of things that is not a big stretch.
Well, by the time the next one comes out, it will be a 25 year old playing a 17 year old. They somewhat pulled it off in Grease, but that was the youngest, John Travolta. All the rest were older and you could tell they were.
Well, Danny Boy can always get some Botox to look younger if need be.

They just don't make em like ole twenty dolla like they used to...
nope. I'm not sure that's a good thing or a bad thing though.

I was going back through to find the post of the day and I found that I had a target moment and didn't even realize it.

Anyways, just caught up to this page, and to answer a question (form sailor I suppose), I live in Wyoming, anime conventions just don't happen here. We get hurricane winds on an almost regular basis, during Cheyenne Frontier Days, we get some of the biggest names in country music to perform, we have one of, if not the highest fan turn-out per-population for NCAA football games in the nation, and it has snowed here, in recent memory, in every month of the year (not one year straight, but you get the idea).

I was playing on muythai's over reaction of how old Radcliffe will look when he plays his final Potter film.
Although I wouldn't be surprised if Rowling pulled a Lucas and came out with "6 more books that she had already planned out" to milk the franchise for another 2 billion dollars.
This would indeed put Radcliffe at 35 and make the Botox necessary.
