no idea what a hermione is but in fairness, I've gone out of my way to avoid reading, learning, or remembering anything having to do with the Harry Potter phenomenon. When people here post about it, I figure it's because they are much younger than me or maybe because they watch it with their kids.
My ex-wife dorked out over these books. I think that drove me far far away in the other direction.
Ouch, sorry JetIf the original post in question had said "Harry Potter's Hermoine" instead of just "Hermoine" I MIGHT have been able to cobble that together, but assure you that standing alone, I had no clue. Shuke struggled with it as well. And to your anlogy, there is no way to escape the Simon Cowell name because as a viewer of football on Fox, his name was broadcast in bright lights for a decade. You'd have to know the name. Tell me where the name "Hermoine" is plastered about? Harry Potter? Yes, know the name. Hermoine? No clue. Am I mildly aware that he has a girlfriend? I guess. But were this a question on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", I would have had to 'phone a friend'...probably a female friend.I just find it hard to believe anyone living in America for the last 12+ years wouldn't have accidentally come across that name a time or two. For example, I've never watched American Idol, but I sure as hell know who Simon Cowell is. Anyway, if so, I envy your selective memory re: pop culture.
Why would I know that? I don't read those books and I don't watch those movies. On 'care about' level, it's up there with ballet, trig and Iowa.

Welcome, friend.

Also, most of my college experience.This is my favorite Pogues albumWe need to get back to tales of gastric distress and drunken marauding.
Any help on translation?
Frowny-face cigar store indian that's also winking at you.
Sad mohawk guy?
Because in your previous post you said it was a Harry Potter character but the quote limit wouldn't let me quote it?
Spongebob is more than gay enough.Maybe their kids read the books/watched the movies?
I have a response that would totally oVVn you, but I'm not going to ruin GM thread anymore than I have. B-Fred will get mad at me.
Nothing personal GB. Let me have it.
The wife in heat?
When I was a freshman in college, I shared a 3 bedroom house that this guy Dave's parents bought for him. Dave was really, really strange and had never dated or had a girlfriend. He starts delivering pizza and meets some teenage skank who works at the pizza place, and discovers the wonders of sex with a dumb crazy chick. She moves in immediately and buys him this black and white puppy that is totally out of control and ####s everywhere. The dog keeps jumping on them when they have sex, so he McGyvers a battery-powered electric fence around their bed. Now every time they're in the room together we hear barking, followed by her screaming as she's getting zapped by the electric fence. Good times.
That sounds like a pretty swell living arrangement.
Yeah, our dog is sort of the same way. I won't go into details since I think I lost what little respect GM had for me with my FB post but he has tried to bite her in the face a couple of times.
Stupid cat got married.
Some mediocre lookin' broad.I feel like I should know who that person in your avatar is. Can you remind me?Hermione isn't his girlfriend. Jesus.
Canada sucks. Everybody knows it. Even you.
You have displeased Marge Simpson.
Does it matter? I bet they have steak and booze there.
I am the farthest thing from a food snob you will find. I eat at chains all the time. In fact, I love Outback, Saltgrass, and the like. I expected the same from Longhorn and it was pretty bad.. Having said that, as Stu said.. I imagine they do have teh beer.
Oh good, this thread isn't dark enough today.Go on...
I had no clue what a Hermoine was or what Egotstic was either. Kind of figured it was a website but had no clue who she was,
Well, from everything I've put together..... Him and his roommate were both black out drunk. She made a sandwich, which he supposedly ate in front of her face (Just to be a ####, which he tended to do when that drunk). She proceeded to threaten him with the knife that she made the sandwich with. He also grabbed a knife and threatened her. More arguing went on, which led him to grab his .22 rifle. She either turned her back, or walked away, and that's when he shot her in the back (one account says once; another says 4 times; I'm not sure). He calls the police. Open and shut.ETA: There was also a witness (sorta, she was also hammered) and he had a grow op in his attic.
