Just had some peppermint tea.
La Vie En Rose, by Edith Piaf
1. When you throw bouquets at them.
2. When you please their folks too much.
3. When you laugh at their jokes too much.
4. When you sigh and gaze at them.
5. When you start collecting things like their rose and their glove.
6. When you take the trouble to bake their fav'rite pie.
I could go on.
I thought that only happened in US sitcoms.
Das Leben Der Anderen
Good Bye, Lenin!

And I'm a Bollywood fan, but that might call for a whole other thread.
Yeah, that seems also to be the case with me.
Can I ask why you want to post comments on your own wall?
I'm really hoping for some punny titles for this comp, too. Some suggestions:
Mixed Doubles (tennis-themed swingers party)
Triple Hump (get it?)
Bi-Athalon (in the bisexual category)
Extra Time (in football/soccer... gotta be something there?)
Taekwondorgasm (okay, I'm struggling now, but I'll be back)
EDIT: I've got more.
Anything to do with paddles (table tennis BDSM)
Not Out (about the closeted cricketer)
The Cum-anachd Club (shinty? anyone?) OR I Caman Her Tits
New Balls, Please
Pole Vaulting (too easy?)
I thought this thread was just a really disgusting metaphor. Nvm.
Golf is in the Olympics this year (if any of the players actually show up), but that is not a sport.
And I'm not opening that up for debate, because if you think golf is a sport, you're wrong. It's a good walked spoiled.
I don't play (wouldn't be able to in my rural village), but I am a big fan for several reasons.
Although it is not the first augmented reality game, it's the first to become hugely popular and "mainstream". This can be an impetus for this kind of technology to gain more ground and be implemented in more and varied contexts. In particular, I'm interested in the implications for education.
It has been a phenomenal social experiment of sorts, which has had some amazing, unforeseen consequences. Pretty much overnight, millions of people have engaged in it in a myriad ways, from sole traders producing clothing and merchandise (particular around the Team Valour/Instinct/Mystic thing), to marketing companies targeting "Poke-stops" and gyms, to coffee shops setting up rewards-based promotions based on the game. I've even heard of dog shelters encouraging players to 'hire' the dogs to take them for walks while they're hunting form Pokemon, which has been hugely successful.
The Pokemon franchise is already cross-generational, because it's been around for so long, but this new game has brought people back to Pokemon out of nostalgia for their childhood. Young people are encouraging their parents and grandparents to get involved, and I think it's actually bringing people together, which is definitely a good thing.
I reckon this kind of game, where internet connectivity is essential, will strengthen the call for internet equality in terms of 3G coverage, too. Maybe not Pokemon GO in particular, but as the medium expands, demand will grow.
There are, of course, drawbacks and dangers, like potential road accidents and targeted crime. These are being highlighted pretty quickly though, and both Niantic and local authorities seem to be pretty good at getting out information and advice. Hopefully we won't see too many ill consequences.
I think it is a fad, and enthusiasm will die down in the coming months. However, people still play Pokemon Red and Blue on Gameboys, so I think Pokemon GO will have some staying power.
No, never. Tattoos are HOT and you fucking know it.
