I clicked through to the lego god of the sea for some reason expecting to see one of those little generic lego guys but with a trident and a removable beard!

Oh, ha! I bet they have such a lego guy, somewhere, in the Under The Sea set, or something.

Ditto. I was like "naked? you mean, like, just plain yellow?"

A squibboleth is a bit of insider information in the wizarding world used to verify that a member of the community in fact has magical powers.

Yay for stories!

I'm glad you got there first. My version wasn't going to be as good.

"When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
You understand now why you came this way.
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small.
But it's as big as the promise - The promise of a comin' day."

The movie theater I went to in London also had reserved seats. And a bar. The bar may be why I don't recall the status of British popcorn engineering.

You didn't happen to go to the Empire in Leicester Square, did you? That bar will live forever in my memory.

That was over 25 years ago, and I don't recall the theater, but if not in Leicester Square, it was nearby.

Thinking a bit more, I seem to recall a large movie theater right on the square, but that was not the one I attended. As I recall, the theater I went to was below street level. The bar was on the first level below the entrance, and the doorway led to the top of the seating area. The front rows must have been three stories below the street level. The film was "Mishima".

Yeah, I've had that in my head a lot, lately. :)

Assigned seating in theaters is common in Australia, New Zealand and Britain. The popcorn thing you experienced, however, is not. I know in the UK they give you a choice of salted or sweet popcorn and in my memory they also do so in NZ, but I could be mistaken.

It is entirely possible that that userpic is the cutest picture ever.
