It depends whom you ask. Some see the gun-slinging wild west as the nation's apex, some see the boozing of the prohibition era as the greatest era, while others see the slave-owning, tobacco-chewing days as the height of Americanity.Eternal Witcher wrote:So are the 1920's seen as merica's glory days? In my mind it will always be the wild wild west.

Here comes SBSP with his overly sensitive-to-the-text metaphorical interpretation of a romance novel.

"With The Cuckoo's Calling--written under the pseudonym "Robert Galbraith"--J.K. Rowling has turned her unparalleled imagination to detective fiction."
Rowling is such a joke.

Bet she made sure it wasn't going to be a secret. Then blamed some other party for the leak.

The author labelled that decade as the 'jazz age', I'm going to assume he meant that in a good way.SBSP wrote:The Great Gatsby is mocking the 1920s.Eternal Witcher wrote:So are the 1920's seen as merica's glory days? In my mind it will always be the wild wild west.

I'm not sure, but I heard that the book wasn't doing too well under her "pseudonym," at which point she "innocently" revealed the truth.

Indeed:
"Within days of Rowling being revealed as the true author, sales of the book rose by 4000 percent"
"Soon after the revelation, Brooks pondered whether Jude Calligari could have been Rowling herself as part of wider speculation that the entire affair had been a publicity stunt. Some also noted that many of the writers who had initially praised the book, such as Alex Bray or Val McDermid, were within Rowling's circle of acquaintances; however, both vociferously denied any knowledge of Rowling's authorship."

It empowered black people, SB, for one thing. It's probably of a more metaphorical nature anyway.SBSP wrote:I'm not sure how anything related to jazz could be interpreted as good.Eternal Witcher wrote:The author labelled that decade as the 'jazz age', I'm going to assume he meant that in a good way.

Anyway I'm off now. Missing the first game of the season. 
May all your season openers be a disappointing crash down to reality.

At some point in the next week, I'll give it one last shot to see how I do. I head off to university next Friday, at which point I'll have a new IP, but I'm not sure I'll want to risk an IP ban before the new forums. I doubt I'll have free time for the first few weeks anyway.

Yes. You should all be proud of me-it will be my first interaction with a human being since 2007.Ra's al Ghul wrote:Are we supposed to be impressed?Moriarty wrote:I doubt I'll have free time for the first few weeks anyway.
It's actually because I have orientation and I have to take a bunch of placement tests to prove that I was not lying about my exceptionalness.

True.
Mind you, we have to remember this is Twitter, so take it with a pinch of salt. I'm waiting for the Guardian, Telegraph, or BBC to report it before I get excited.

BBC will grab a sniff of a story and headline it without any quotes. Learned to trust Guardian almost exclusively on this.

Glen Damon @jamie_thiago 10s My understanding is that reports of an effort to breathe life into the Playmaker are wide of the mark-negotiations are still ongoing.
This guy is normally pretty reliable, sources in the Playmaker community. Shame.
