1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions. Or if you must, use the Back Room[^] - but enter at your own risk.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen. For those discussions where you wish to be a little more frank, use the Soapbox[^]
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

Da man is on an island drinking rum, smoking weed, and generally eradicating the island's virginity, presumably the female kind, but after rum and a smoke, he might not care which he "swings". He supposedly took his missus but he would say that, wouldn't he?
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Thats a bit hot!
Thankfully the office is airconned, so I dont notice till I head off for a drink after work, but it was uncomfortably hot in the bar. Looks like it is gong to end today though, only 22 predicted for tomorrow.
(Worst I ever had was 44C in France many years ago, but the humidity is low so isnt too bad.)

Well, Middle of Germany warming might be.
Although there were a couple of previous attempts to make it so, Middle of Germany does not equal Global.

Since the use of the word Elephant has come to replace another commonly used and controversial word maybe the GW words can be replaced by another word like Penguin?

I have almost that impression. This morning, at 6:50am I parked my car, went out and I was wet from sweatting after 50 meters. Yesterday was a tropical night, tonight as well and it will be a tropical day (Yesterdays record in Switzerland: 36.5 °C in Sion, the highest since 1965). Now it's 10:00am and we have already 22 °C and the air is very heavy, humidity 80-90%.
|
|
|
|
|
It's here, right 2 degrees up (that amounts to nearly 222 km) from here and it's boiling 41 degrees Celsius with relative humidity 95%... we even had rains in the morinng... more are likely to happen now
|
|
|
|
|
It was a bit like that yesterday here (England) – as soon as you go outside and move, sweat everywhere. It's a lot dryer today though, so you've only got one day to look forward to.

It's a bit unpleasant here in the south-east UK but not unbearable. I was first in our office and it was like a stuffy sauna. Windows opened...phew.

Nope, But I want to dance today... not with the devil but with someone else... But the person concerned is not here, but far away 
Anyways, your answer...
It was said by the antagonist of the movie named after a character, who can be called as a cross between a human and a flying mammal, dark in color and hates light... He's also the movie's protagonist.
Clinkety![^]
EDIT HISTORY:
- Version 1: Original answer, which was accepted, but had a small error in the name of the speaker.
- Version 2:Corrrected the name of the speaker.

Um...are you sure?
I think you'll find it was not the titular hero, but one of his opponents...right film though.

Film is correct.

You're not entirely (in)correct. In fact, a funny figure with bright colors told it to the human x flying mammal in dark colors who in return cites to the funny colored figure his own words later on in the movie.

nope... actually I don't. I know the new funny guy has been deceased, but I have no clue what happened on any premiere show.

Some random lunatic came up with an auto rifle, began hailing himself as the fellow with bright colors and a bloody grin. He was even dressed like that.
See this:

The lunatic also made sure to die as the same way the new funny man died!
