Hey, anyone like wrestling? Like WWE. Also, Tables, why is your name Tables? From where was that inspired?

So long story short, on a holiday to Germany while 11, my and my siblings thought it was hilarious to say nonsensical german phrases to the natives. A particular favourite was "Ich esse Tisch," german for "I eat tables". A few months later, I was creating an account for a new website (Runescape IIRC) and didn't want to use my old username (because it was even more terrible), so decided I Eat Tables was amusing enough to start using. Fast forward to when I was about 18, and I shortened it to just Tables because it's generally nicer, it was what people who knew me from online were calling me anyway, and it was a bit less of an embarrassing 11 year olds screenname.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

Weirdly enough I watch loads of WWE even though I really shouldnt and don't like it much! I basically download it to watch as I fall asleep, it's good non complicated brain fodder.

You have to give bad date details.  Bad dates make the best stories.

Unfortunately, bad date in this case also reads as 'dullest' date

I'm sorry.  The point is to freak them out.  Not draw them in and actually make it a productive date. 

I shall give you dating lessons.  Do not worry.

I feel like I should clarify here, the date was dull because the woman was extremely dull unfortunately, the actual mechanics of the date were good!

I think my favorite Indiana Jones quote has to be, "Sallah, I said no camels. That's five camels. Can't you count?"

Such a throwaway line, but I find it to be so hilarious.

I just watched The Runaway Bride for the first time and really, really hated it.

Luckily I was able to mock it throughout, which made for a much more enjoyable experience.

I watched The Runaway Bride a couple months ago, but it was the Doctor Who episode, and was pretty darn good.

I get annoyed by the TV show, "Bones." Mainly because the main character is just as annoying as Sheldon from "The Big Bang Theory," except that she's not written as a caricature. Well, I would think that she wasn't, but then I hear this exchange:

"Burning the midnight oil?"
"Oil hasn't been used as a light source for hundreds of years."

I mean, who talks like that? I'll accept that someone new to the English language and all its idioms could make that mistake.

I see Bones as sort of a mix between Big Bang and CSI.

Like Data when he makes a pronouncement about how igniting a petroleum product on a starship is not wise in "All Good Things...". And when it's pointed out that this is an expression, he asks a question that is so favourite to me - "What is the etymology of that idiom?"
