I haven't seen any, but the most highly regarded among people I know who watch a lot of movies is Princess Mononoke.

I've only seen Spirited Away, but when I watched it my friends offered me a choice between that and Princess Mononoke...so I would say that one.

Does anyone here enjoy staying at Bed and Breakfast places?

I know it isn't Miyazaki's work, but it's still a Studio Ghibli film: Grave of the Fireflies. Not very happy at all. Not very happy at all.
Otherwise, I recommend either Nausicaa or Porco Rosso, the other two I've enjoyed (though the latter one more so because... well, I dunno, it kind of confused me a bit, but I've heard that it is a bit of a figuratively biographical piece for Miyazaki, so I feel it's more personal). Princess Mononoke's also good, but I prefer the previous two.

I do, but you have to get used to the fact that you are trading higher service(and maybe better price) for a lower degree of privacy than you would have at a hotel. You are staying in somebody's house after all.

Why is John Bull so fat? Too many fryups? Seriously, look at this corpulent bloke.
Is that one Mr.CG?
Pardon?

The character was originally invented at a time when being a bit on the stout side indicated that you were a person of means, which was appropriate to the class of gentleman farmers whom Bull was meant to embody. The exaggerations tend to be in foreign and/or critical depictions, particularly those, as in your example, which were intended to depict him as an exploiter. In "patriotic" depictions (e.g.), he tends to remain square-built and barrel-chested rather than simply fat.Why is John Bull so fat? Too many fryups? Seriously, look at this corpulent bloke.

What does it mean to "ninja" a thread?

It means editing a post before another poster has finished replying to it, so your post doesn't show any edits and their post appears to be misquoting you.

I thought Ninja was a synonom for derailing a thread. Like when D3K/GW inevitably changes any discussion into one about the civil war and religion ;D

When you reply to someone's post, only to find that someone else give the same reply only quicker while you were typing it, they have "ninja'd" you.
Also "ninja edit" where you reply to someone's post, and while you are typing it they have edited their post to make your reply irrelevant.

I'm going to consider this authoritative unless someone disagrees. Cheers.

Good point. But the John Bull in your example is still packing quite the belly.

Was that a Bed and Breakfast place I meant?

Thanks guys! I think Princess Mononoke will have to be first, then the others.
Alright, a question for you all out there.
As you may have read in the rants thread, since like Saturday I've been getting headaches daily, and they're really getting on my nerves. Up until today, they only appeared at night, but now it decided to pop up in the middle of the day (of course a day full of classes) and it's absolutely killing me. The headaches aren't severe, but enough to annoy me and hamper with my ability to focus and do normal stuff. I've been trying to pinpoint what exactly may be causing this, so I don't have to take time away from my classes to see a doctor (though if they don't go away by Friday I'm seeing a doctor).
So here's my question: Since getting to Iowa, I've walked everywhere. I've never taken the bus, and any place I have to go to I walk there. The furthest I have to walk time-wise is usually 15 to 20 minutes. Now, before Iowa, I was a sloth and minimally exercised. Could this sudden up-tick in daily exercise be causing this onset of daily headaches? Google says that you can get headaches from workouts, but it's not like I'm doing intense running for 30 minutes, just walking for 15 minute stints around twice a day. If this is the cause, is there anything I can do to stop it? Or do I just have to let my body adjust to all the walking I'm now doing?
