Damn, who knew that all of human history hangs in the hands of Mark Wahlberg. Maybe we wouldn't be at war, maybe we'd still have the towers... just imagine.

I like how all these sites that are protesting SOPA/PIPA have these popups that block the page unless you fill out this form, yet do not tell you what to fill in where.
Now I have to think about cool stuff to say before hand so I can time them correctly when I have conversations with new people.
I do not approve of this practice. Coming up with conversation material ahead of time deceives people. They'll know if it's not organic unless you're a great actor, so it's bound to turn some people off.

Sucks to be them; my in head conversation material is phenomenal.

Hm, I do something rather similar, but passing it off as authentic isn't a job for an actor, rather a job for a psychologist - since it is about timing your conversations and matching the other persons interests with the correct subject matter. In any case, it's far superior to the following:
Hello [person/title], how [are you/have you been]? - (other persons response) - Really? [I know the feeling/that sucks/ that's nice (and so forth)]. How has your [family/college courses/job/other mundane topic] been? - (other persons response)...and so on.
Then again with the value of interpersonal relationships becoming cheap, mundane, and predictable - you can get away with most any cookie cutter (is that the term?) conversations if you have the charm, experience, or timing and remain polite...Ugh, I hate humanity...
Well, if that package happens to be anthrax, I'm fucking golden. I've had like 37 shots of anthrax. I've also been exposed to depleted uranium and highly toxic pollutants.I'm pretty much a walking biohazard myself. If it's a bomb though, I may be jolly well fucked.
