Rise of the Silver Surfer, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Rise of the Guardians, The Dark Knight Rises, Rise of the Argonauts...

The Dark is Rising, Troy Rising...

Was there a meeting where it was determined that "Noun gets stronger" is the story audiences want most?

    Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
    Is it weird that I mentally put "IJBM:" in front of the title even though that's a different place from here?

    Then again, I have been lurking there a bit more often recently.

    You're right, we need more "fall"s and "decline"s.

    Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Decline of the West, etc.

    I have a thing for beards.  The amount of monies I give to a homeless person is completely dependent on the length and bushiness of the beard.  Also, it is from my personal experience that homeless people are very proud of their beards.

    Say for example, this homeless mans beard would probably earn him at least $2:

    I think he had to fight a goat to the death for the sake of adopting a Child in a third world country. He was forced to wear the goat carcass as sign of his victory, as well.
