Oh very well, I'll bite the bullet. These stupid Titles VII INCOMING!!!
News:
A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

In my estimation, not long at all. 
And it seems I just got my promotion.

Nevertheless I'm thinking a "These Stupid Titles VII" is in our future here shortly.

Ok, so I was curious and decided to look back to the other "These Stupid Title" threads to see what their limit was.
Ahem.
I: 21 pages
II:36 pages
III: 26 pages
IV: 26 pages
V: 30 pages
On the last post of the V, Spriggan mentions that 30 pages is the limit. It seems we have overstepped our bounds by a small fraction of 58 pages.

It seems like a lot has happened since I last checked.
Animals getting eaten, duels being fought and churches on fire, oh my.

Rambling is fun though. I remember one time.... 
But I am going to restrain myself this time!

Seriously, it's fun. And I was a skeptic.
Well, at first I was confused. Then I was a skeptic. Now I like it.
Which doesn't preclude me being confused.
BUT!
You should duel.
That was quite a mouthful.

For what it's worth, I actually liked Xena.
Don't think I'd like this show though, from all I'm hearing.

Hmmm perhaps I may have to check it out. I'm sure someone I know has a copy.

Holy Grail is indeed a very funny movie.
And I'm not sure if at this point I want to be on any dueling list.

It's the way my weird mind works.
I was watching the Les Mis musical today at work and I thought back to one of the annotations (I think) where Brandon mentioned a little Marius influence in Elend, which led me to remember the live action Les Mis movie they did awhile back with that guy.

I remember the only tournament I ever did, and it wasn't even in the US lol. I played in some Japanese tournament when I was stationed over there. Yeah, needless to say, my language skills weren't up to par enough to get me past the first round.

I see honor as more flexible. To me its more like being true to who you are. Not hypocritical and not taking advantage of people. So I have no problem imagining a scared little mouse of a man, who wouldn't harm a fly being called honorable
Military Intelligence is indeed an oxymoron. I can attest, having also worked for the government.
