GeneralQOTD ? US 26 year-old woman in NYC waiting to view screening of last 'Twilight' series moviememberBillWoodruff18 Nov '12 - 2:23 
Quote:
For Kim Head, 26, who works at Jacques Torres Chocolate in TriBeCa, the series had the opposite appeal. “I like the innocence of it,” she said. “I like that I feel like I’m 16 again. I feel like I’m re-virginized.”
New York Times, Nov. 16, 2012: "A Farewell to Fangs, Fur and Fandom" [^]
 
The average "Twilight" movie-fan is, I read, much younger than Ms. Head. I've never read any of the books, or seen any of the movies, but I certainly wish I could undergo re-virginization, as long as it was not permanent.
 
No more Hostess Twinkies, and now: this. What has happened to my "homeland," the U$A, where I was bored ?

No more Twinkies? What do they use for population control now?

Ho Hos, or given the approaching season, "Ho-ho-hos". Oh wait, those went away with the Twinkies...

If you don't believe it, take a look to the maternity section of a hospital in a city where 9 months before there was a blackout. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Ha! When searching Google, they showed me an Amazon ad right at the top of the list. It claims that Amazon has a huge selection of Twinkies at low prices.

You wouldn't recognize it, Bill, but you'd still be bored.
Will Rogers never met me.

I wouldn't have been filming that close to the edge of the water, I've seen documentaries where they take seals from the waters edge. OMG | :OMG:

This looks harmless compared to a video I saw in which Orcas attacked seals at a beach. Possibly it was just curious and did not seriously want to attack.

or maybe all the urine in the water put it off? Wink | ;)
 
(Orcas are pretty common in NZ waters esp. Wellington Harbour)
