I dunno, that sounds like suppression to me...

My favorite change in the French version is what they call the Sorting Hat.
They take the French words "choix" (choice,) and "chapeau" (hat,) and call it the Choixpeau. (pronounced Shwah-po)

Here's my confession. I could never see the attraction to Dr. Who.

I just commented on it as well, in a different thread. Although my choice of adjective was not excellent

I had to add a new Guilty Pleasure to my list, due to current events -- Olympic Events, that is.

The confession:

I enjoy watching Competition Figure Stating.
And I'm a Man. And I'm straight.
Are those mutually exclusive?

:D

Confidently straight? :lol: :lol:

Actually I like figure skating too. The fluidity of motion is a delight to the eyes.

I'm glad this thread reappeared. My new confession:

I think Larry the Cable Guy is absolutely hilarious.

I like watching figure skating, too, but I draw the line at ice dancing.

I just for the first time last night watched snowboard cross. Man, what a gas! Four people on snowboards going down a pretty narrow course at once.

I feel no guilt about enjoying South Park. The funniest show going. I've forced my mom into watching them with me and even she really likes a handful of episodes. Whenever we're in a crappy mood, I'll put the psychic detective episode on(Cartman comes out of a coma and fakes having psychic powers). Not offensive or political, just really funny.

Right now, I'm reliving my childhood and downloading Jem songs. Who knew they had a French Jem theme? Wow! I loved the show and the dolls as a 13 year old . . . but they're still cool. I have no shame!
