It's Better To Burn Out Than It Is To Fade
Robert....that's disappointing to hear (and to think, they thought we were the same). Refried gave me an idea. There are artists that paint recreations of famous paintings. One company is in Encinitas or Carlsbad, I forget where. I'd love to have them doing the dogs playing poker, but in that Picasso/cubism style. That would be awesome. I'd have them throw in a boob, too...in some weird location near the dogs head. Cuddle...the guys (refried especially) actually make the threads interesting. You and the rest of the gals, just post the same goofy comments over and over (example: hey darling, loved your post. Response: Hey you...did you find your files yet?...who cares? Write something interesting already -- just a thought)— November 19, 2009 10:05 a.m.
It's Better To Burn Out Than It Is To Fade
Regarding the above post...what makes you think those two people are the same person? Can't there be multiple people on these boards that do similar things? You and Geek need to stop obsessing over who is who. Either post and enjoy it, and ignore the people you don't care for. And, if someone contacted "your department" or "your work" and had some insane rant, I seriously doubt that would jeopardize your job. They would easily realize it's some nut job, no? Pike: you do some good blogs, but attacking Kinkade (I'm not a fan of his...once dated a cop who was so proud of a painting she paid thousands for by him; she was upset when I laughed for 5 minutes straight). But, this topic (attacking Kinkade) has been so played over the years. I remember 60 Minutes doing a story, as well as other folks. Although, you do a great job of bringing funny and hip to it, so it was a great read. It just reminded me of the great documentary Super Size Me, but the fact that Spurlock could've used that same logic for ANY fast food place, yet he went with the easy target -- McDonald's (they sell Happy Meals, that try to make kids enjoy the place...isn't that horrible? Well, uh...not really). If people are happy buying a Kinkade painting, and paying a few thousand more than it's worth, oh well. As Geek pointed out...people also collect those Precious Moments things religiously. Some people buy a stamp of an upside down airplane for a million dollars. Or a Honus Wagner baseball card, for around that same price. If the average person, thinks DiVinci Code or Stephen King is the best literature has to offer...well, what's the point in making fun of that? You can still read the hip, better authors. And let them enjoy their silly paintings. Adam makes a great point at the start of this, regarding "what is art?"— November 19, 2009 1:57 a.m.
Them Other Humans!
It's okay, Rickey. I think it gives Geek and SD great joy to think they've discovered this person or that person, using different names. Geek had a great line in some thread where she was saying I always harass her or some such BS. Yet, here she is bringing up my name (with a clever little rhyme). I also love how she says she doesn't read my blogs, yet she's always getting upset by the things in the blogs, that "someone" alerts her to. Yeah, right. And why would I create a pen name? If I wanted to do a topic on cloning, it would've just been a blog topic for me on my DAILY CRASHER blog. You really need to get a life, if your existance is just running around these boards, getting angry at this Board (or this Scorpio). Geek, either join in the topic at hand here or butt out (don't let the door hit that big behind on the way out). Now, back to the cloning topic. Arin, again, I hate to say it, but you bring up another decent point. All us guys are acting all stupid, at the various women we'd clone, for purely sexual reasons. Why not clone Aretha, not for sex, but to have her belt out some great tunes? Great idea. In that case, clone me Etta James (I know she isn't dead yet, but...the current version of her doesn't put on much of a show). Pete, if you need help moving, drop me an IM via this website.— November 19, 2009 1:41 a.m.
The Breakfast Club
Talls...I liked your comments, right up until you recommended Dazed and Confused. The Led Zeppelin song - yes. The movie, not so much. Visually, it looked good. And it may have had one or two okay moments. But talk about unrealistic. Yeah, those rituals with freshman and all that. C'mon! And at the end of the day, the flick just wasn't very funny. I agree 100% with your take on Breakfast Club. What's odd is in the synopsis above (I'm assuming by Duncan Shephard), the one flaw in his description is about the unsupervised kids. He can't state that as a flaw, as that's the point. This teacher/principal character that is supervising them, really doesn't give a crap about them. He just wants them locked up, so he can go to his office and do his thing and not have to be in the same room as them.— November 19, 2009 1:30 a.m.
Tipsy and Talkative
McHale isn't nearly as funny as the more sarcastic, former late night (and ESPN) host Craig Kilborn. Also a tall bloke, who played some college basketball.— November 19, 2009 1:13 a.m.
None
You know what's so strange? I saw that response of yours rickey...and I clicked this link. I started to scroll down, because I didn't remember the faces of the people answering the question. And, the guy right above the person you're referring to...well, he looks a bit like a young Kirt Douglas. So, I had it on his face and was reading his answer, and wondering what the heck you meant by selling a Cadillac.— November 19, 2009 1:11 a.m.
300 Times
Well, LT has gotten a little different over the years (maybe as it becomes increasingly difficult for him to get into the end zone). I see him yell and stick his arms out. Not that that's a crazy celebration, but it's a lot different than the old LT of just handing the ball to the ref or whatever.— November 19, 2009 1:07 a.m.
Halloween Police
I've always had mixed feelings on women dressing in skimpy outfits. One one hand, it's nice eye candy. But on the other hand, it's kind of idiotic. Halloween is supposed to be about scary things, or wearing a disguise. It's not supposed to be an excuse to act like a [insert offensive word here]. If you're an attractive woman, trust me ladies, we can tell. Even if you're wearing a regular Halloween costume and not a French maid, Playboy bunny, or whatever else (note to self: find out if French maids really dress like that, and why they don't look like the maids that work here!)— November 19, 2009 1:04 a.m.
Them Other Humans!
Okay...now you guys really can't get mad at arinoman on this one. You're the ones that brought his name up first. So, if he hijacks your blog/thread, you have nobody to blame but yourself. If I could clone a woman, the way Michael Anthony Hall (who just got arrested for trying to break into his ex-girlfriends house)...the way Hall did in Weird Science, well, I wouldn't go Kelly LeBrock. I might go Sophia Loren, circa 1962. Or Halle Berry, circa 1992. Or...oh...so many women, so many years. So few clones!— November 18, 2009 6:22 p.m.
Bisexual Scifi
Somewhere in TIme doesn't hold up. I used to love it. Saw it again a few years ago, and didn't like it as much. Perhaps the only thing I may ever agree with arin about: Al Green CDs. I love putting in the "Call Me" disc, and watching the Rev Al work his magic! As for sci fi...I'm not a big fan. Even a movie like ALIEN, which is awesome. Perhaps one of the best action/sci fi films ever, wouldn't appeal to women. Even if it has Sigourney shooting aliens and taking names (and in her underwear in a pod, that's always a plus)— November 18, 2009 6:18 p.m.
