"Besides, if HP Cornfield REALLY hate you, then you must be doing something right"
Thanks to sheep who first found a lot of these posts. It's the semi-regular Lysette/Lissy report! As an aside, she's discovered HP_Cornfield. But don't worry about hurt feelings. She's boasting about it to the "Can't Stand Teh Holy Defenderzz' thread. "Besides, if HP Cornfield REALLY hate you, then you must be doing something right".

Probably the most outrageous comparison this time around. R/Hr shippers bashing H/Hr shippers are like Fred Phelps at a soldier's funeral.

Repeatedly coming in to defend Teh Holy Defenderzz on a Can't Stand Teh Holy Defenderzz Thread is OFF TOPIC, but I guess they figure they can't "Save" the Unwashed Heathen Disgruntled Fans if they don't force their way on Disgruntled Threads because it is not like the Unwashed Heathen will come on their threads. Can't convert them if they can't force them to see the error of their ways. They are rather like those idiots from Kansas that go around protesting Gays at the funerals of Service Men who were killed in Iraq. What one has to do with the other I do not know, aside from they get on the News for it. They and their message are UNWANTED and totally inappropriate. One Father sued them because they disrupted his son's funeral and won, although last I heard, the Church involved is refusing to pay the damages. Figures.

Dumbledore is like Churchill, because Churchill set up the Lusitania sinking.

Actually, in the Second Task, Dumbledore was testing his little would be "Chosen One" to see if Harry would put the lives of others before his own. Of the four, one was Harry's BFF Ron, then there was Harry's other best friend -- Hermione, and then there was the girl Harry was crushing on -- Cho. The last was Fleur's little sister, and that was to see if Harry would even put a stranger's life before his own. Harry passed with flying colors. Now would Dumbledore have let one of them drown to hammer home his point with Harry, absolutely. But I see Dumbledore as being Rowling's Churchill, even if Rowling didn't mean to do that -- she did.

Churchill was feared by the German High Command in WW II because back in WW I Churchill proved he would sacrifice ANYTHING, if it meant winning, when he sacrificed the RMS Lusitania in a bid to force the U.S. into the war. Churchill ordered that NO ONE was to inform the Captain of the Lusitania that there was a U-Boot sitting just outside the Harbor, and had been there for about a week. All it took was one torpedo, and Lucy went down in 21 minutes just like expected. The British Navy had just lost two cruisers with the very same bulkhead design recently, and they had gone down in 21 minutes -- each. That Lucy did the same was no surprise to anyone in the know, and Churchill was. It takes a special kind of cold blooded "person" to accept that kind of Collateral Damage, and Churchill was one and Dumbledore was even doing it from beyond the grave.

Voldemort might have been the monster Dumbledore helped to create, but he was an honest monster, while Dumbledore would hand you a Lemon Drop while coolly planning to have you murdered -- for The Greater Good, of course, at the same time. First Dumbledore "allowed" Voldemort, and then created a Harry to fight him. The ones who died along the way were the Collateral Damage, and well does the term "Grape Koolaid" mean anything to you? Dumbledore wanted to play God. So what on how many bodies it took to get there.

"When are you going to Get IT! They are just NUMBERS! Numbers!"

R/Hr is like 'Tap This' in Ugly Betty

What is your opinion on 'How to charm witches?' in relation to R/Hr?

It is like "Tap This" in Ugly Betty, namely you keep "insulting" women until you find one stupid enough to fall for it al la Amanda on Ugly Betty. It goes under the theory that Men are naturally He-Men superior to women, and all you have to do is demonstrate that superiority, and women will fall all over themselves to get to the "Superior" He-Man. Actually it is, as Hilda explained to Betty, to give the dorky guys (THE RONALD) the courage to actually go up to a girl and try to talk to her. It just proves what I always supected, that The Ronald is a DORK, and Hermione is convinced that The Ronald is her last shot at getting any guy. They have known each other for how long and still have to resort to a "Tap This?"

To paraphase Bridget Jones, "If I can't make it with you, Jones (See Ronald or Hermione), I can't make it with anyone." Sad, but there you go. Talk about BOTTOM of the food chain.

Lily is a Hawt Girl, Snape is a Chunky Girl.

Lily is like the Hawt Girl who goes to a Bar with a chunkie friend because well, you know that the Hawt Girl is going to go home that night with a Hawt Guy, while the chunky girl is going to go home alone. I mean, it is not like you would go to a bar with a girl/guy who was better looking than you, would you? Then they become competition. You want to go with someone who makes you look better standing next to them because you look better than them. That was how Lily was with Sev, he was a stepping stone to better things. As soon as he had served his purpose, he got dumped like that chunky girl at the bar. Lily landed the Rich, Cute Boy she wanted, and dumped Sev for being a TOTAL Embarrassment. I'm amazed she bothered to stay friends with a "loser" like Sev as long as she did.

Sev may have imagined that he and Lily were friends -- but they weren't. Sev was a means to an end, nothing more. Would you say that Lily is a User? I would.

Gin-bot the jealous mistress

Given the FACT that Harry treats Gin-Bot like his mistress and nothing more, you can see why Gin-Bot would be worried about every prettier girl that comes along. Obviously Gin-Bot views Hermione as UGLY because otherwise she would not like Harry and Hermione spending time in that tent alone together for so long. What if they weren't just sleeping? I mean an eleven year old girl is a threat, so Hermione still has the right plumbing and Harry still cannot be trusted with even an eleven year old girl...

Rowling's career has been ruined by not getting hit by a car.

But Margaret Mitchell was hit by a car and killed while crossing the street on her way to a movie theater, so it is not like she had to worry that ten years later she was going to be this sad woman who looks like someone who used to be famous for awhile. She died right after GWTW the movie came out. There was never a down side. Rowling is at the end of Harry Potter, and given HBP and DH, there is a real possibility that nothing she does from now on is ever going to be nearly as popular. Can you say Cabbage Patch Kids? I knew you could. So Rowling needs to milk her Celebrity for everything she can get for as long as she can, you know, like one those sort of celebrities that NEED to be on the cover of all the Tabloids every week. I mean, it is either that or slide back into being just a civilian again. Rowling does complain that when she takes the test for House Placement, she gets stuck in Hufflepuff. The end of the series was just not that great, so it is not like she can be the guy in Bridget Jones who wrote ONE hit song in the Nineties, and it was enough to keep him going for the rest of the Decade. I expect more strange and weird statements from Rowling as the date DH came out becomes farther and farther in the past.

Now, as it happens, Margarett Mitchell died in 1949, ten years after the movie of 'Gone With the Wind' came out. Thanks to puipui for looking this up.

The Weasleys: Straight Out of a Lifetime Movie.

There was a movie on Lifetime last night called Junebug which PEGS the Weasley Clan/Collective almost perfectly, given that there were only four in the actual family. The Mother is just like Molly down to being a mean nag who looks down on everyone starting with her own husband, and it is not like she is "all that and a bag of chips" to start. She even has red hair and is Large. The Dad is like Arthur down to a workshop in the basement rather than a shed out back that he spends his time hiding/working in. The oldest son, George, is like Bill, and he comes home after three years with a new wife who owns her own Art Gallery, her Dad was a diplomat so she has lived all over the world and the nicest thing Mom can think of to say about her is that "she has beautiful hands." She's the Fleur. This is after the wife had even tried to help the younger son with a school paper. (He is supposed to be working on a GED, since he dropped out of High School after getting a girl, Ashley, pregnant, and getting stuck marrying her.) The younger son, Johnny, spends his time being all Emo and Misunderstood because he thinks he is STILL a Teen, even if he is out of school and MARRIED. He and his wife, Ashley, live with Mom. Johnny is the worst of The Ronald and Emo!Harry, both. Ashley is the slightly older Gin-Bot, even being "as large as a house" because she is not just pregnant, but about to deliver because that is what Wombs do -- make babies.

Anyhow, at the end of the movie, George has packed up the wife, and they're heading back to Civilization. He can't wait to get out of there. If the Weasley's lived in the Bible Belt, they would be George's family, only George's family are always quizzing people about if Jesus is their "personal saviour" and what not, rather than "Dumbledore is always right!" Right or wrong.

I was watching Junebug, and it was like watching "Teh Weasley Show." I hated their Mom as much as I do Molly, felt sorry for the Dad, who usually didn't talk much around Mom because she would just yell at him that nobody wanted to hear what he had to say, anyway, if he did give an opinion. Just like Molly and Arthur. When Ashley is in the Delivery Room, Johnny starts lighting up a ciggie, so the doctors kick him out. When George tries to tell Johnny that Ashley lost her baby, Johnny is under his car working on it. Johnny gets up and throws a wrench at his brother, and hits him in the head like it is George's fault. If I was George, I would have gotten the H@ll out of there, and never come back again, too. George's family is just like the Weasleys, but on a smaller scale.

Quick picks:

Deathly Hallows is just like Team America too. They're both evil.
