I am really not a fan of Wal-Mart. My city was protesting putting in a new 24 hour one in our city. We just don't want another one.We have one right now, and it is the worst part of the city. We were on a great streak of being down under 3 murders a year, but now, we are suddenly up to like 7...and I believe that all of them happened within 2 miles of the Wal-Mart. They are dirty and smelly and attract lowlifes to an otherwise great area because of their cheap prices on microwaves...

Ten cents an hour? Source? Link?

This causes many many american buisnesses to go out of buisness such as rubbermaid, Huffee bicycles, and Thomson Electronics - a TV manufacturing company. It is also ruining the chinese tradition -- many ethnic family owned buisnesses in china like traditional chinese pottery is being replaced with wal-mart's tupperware isle.
Tons of american companies are going out of buisness because of wal mart, making thousands of people jobless. Wal mart is ruining the world!!!

RIGHT ON!
Also, Walmart attracts CRIME

That was, after all, the point of this thread.

Okay then. I guess we'll just be waiting a while...

Bah, still not there. Eventually it will because I don't think the picture was that bad. ...Though I honestly don't remember what picture it was. ...It's gonna turn out to be a picture of Michael Bolton or something, I know it.

Anyway, I like this idea of a fan club. Hmmm. We shall discuss it when the Actor/Actress board finally comes about.

Still not up.. I have decided to get into bed at this point... (I'll stop posting.) Anyways, I was thinking, we should come up with some sort of fan club, you know? Specifically, the "Angelina's Awesome Alliance" (triple-A, get it?) or something like that... You'll be president, of course. Not only because you've got the avatar and sig, but I don't really feel as obsessed as you seem. No offense of course. Plus, it'll be by default. I'll be like, founder or something. Maybe vice or something dorky like that. STOP IT, must go to bed... must go to bed...

Okay then.

I made an Actor/Actress thread that should show up if/when the reviewers approve it because I have an Angelina pic in it.

So, when that shows up in "Pop Culture and the Media" we can resume.

Euterpe, think we should make another thread, like "Wordship Angelina" or something? I am actually starting to worry about how this might look to those that have not frequented the thread...

I really liked the picture of her looking right into the camera, extending the snake toward it. That's awesome on so many levels.

That's my favorite, too. Those snakes are heavy as hell, too. I dunno how she does it.

And I guess YN wasn't thrilled with the psuedo-topless photo, but that's a great one.

Oh no, I guess not. It's not showing anything, but I guess they still won't accept it. Oh well. *Apologizes for an "inappropriate" pic-post attempt the reviewers loved just as much but wouldn't approve for legality issues*

A secret agent? That'd be wicked.

I'm sorry I didn't think to keep the link. The guy said the reason she did so well in the movies was because it was really more of her everyday job with cameras all around her. I didn't really think anything of it at the time, but I agree whole-heartedly. That would be awesome to be her partner...

And she used to smoke, I think, in the mid-nineties and probably in her teens. I haven't seen any pictures of her smoking within the past 3 years or so. My guess is if she did smoke, she stopped when she adopted Maddox.

Lol, poor newbs. And I guess YN wasn't thrilled with the psuedo-topless photo, but that's a great one.

A secret agent? That'd be wicked. But for what, I'd ask? I mean, she spends more time in the landmine-ridden fields of Camobodia rather than a government official's office. Not much you're gonna get in the middle of a ravine. ;D

As for her Alexander pic, I liked it because she looks both evil and exhausted. The snake helps.

I found the exact pic but I can't put it up here because the website is being a ho. So, this angelina jolie e.w. photo shoot is the clink. Click the "Angelina Jolie Triplex" to see the pics of just Angelina. That was from the Alexander-cover issue of Rolling Stone back in January.

They're pics of her with what I'm assuming is a boa constrictor.

This is the best thread on the board. It'll be funny when a newb gets here and gets all confused because we totally killed it.

I know. I'll start laughing when one starts making their incompetent or incoherent remarks about Wal Mart then asks what's going on at the end. There's a pattern to every newbie's thinking.

I love the one of her with the snake... The bags under her eyes are a little obvious, but it kind of plays into her character anyway.

This one's a little scandolous, but look at the eyes, brilliant. The tattoo just adds to how taboo this pic is... Hope it's approved...

FHM calls her the sexiest woman alive:



I also found one site where the author says he knows all her secrets, that she is some sort of European Secret Agent.

Does Angelina smoke?

I know. ...This is the best thread on the board. It'll be funny when a newb gets here and gets all confused because we totally killed it.

I LOVE her pictures from Alexander. They're spectacular. Fantabulous. Stunning, etc, etc.


And my favorite...well, top 3.

Ohhhh I love her eyes in the first one... holy crap. Yeah, she was wicked awesome in Alexander, I want more posters... Sweet, sweet Angelina...

Oooh. I'll just...sit here and drool a bit.

Her more recent pics, like the past two years, are my favorites. The ones from around Shark Tale/Alexander/Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Who am I kidding? As long as she's in the picture, I don't care what it's from, what she's wearing or where she is.

I have that picture somewhere around here. Lemme find the links...

and...

These are both poor quality, but the best I could find. Awesome, right?

I hear you, Euterpe. I can go in there at 2 in the morning, and it's still the same atmosphere. Busy little shoppers screeching by you and pandemonium through the lanes...

By the way, do you have the picture of Jolie in a "machine gun" tank top with her arms crossed. It's an awesome picture of her, if you don't have it already.
