- Do you have it categorized as a home? -- nm - mara Mar 5, 11:38 4

real estate photo tip: might want to crop out that body shaped stain on the floor -- (link) - zeitgeist Mar 5, 11:29
From an SNL point of view, this is a win though, when was the last time we discussed an episode of it this much on Monday? -- nm - Andie Mar 5, 11:25 17
- That's true, even calling the episode a bust, I'll blame this one on Lohan and not the writing (though that wasn't great either) -- nm - Max Mar 5, 11:31
- People (here and elsewhere) watched who otherwise wouldn't have because of the trainwreck potential. - TFox Mar 5, 11:29 9
  - absolutely, but they don't care why the eyeballs were there, just that they were. -- nm - Andie Mar 5, 11:30 8
    - I disagree. To the extent people tuned in that usually don't to see LiLo and saw a crappy show, they won't tune in again. It was a chance to grab - pmb Mar 5, 11:47
    - Having not seen this SNL, I will add that her casting was a refreshing change from the usual celebrity shilling for their latest movie/show/album - con_carne Mar 5, 11:42
    - oh, for sure. they can't go back to that well too many times though; the cast would revolt. - TFox Mar 5, 11:31 5
      - I think they threw her a bone given she'd hosted in the past and did a good job. - Will Hunting Mar 5, 11:38 2
        
        she totally admitted last weeked that she pretty much begged Lorne Michaels for the gig. -- nm - Andie Mar 5, 11:39 1
        
        Oof....you can't be begging and then be lame. - Will Hunting Mar 5, 11:40
      - Don't end up reenacting scenes from 'Platoon' with Charlie Sheen. -- nm - DirecTV Mar 5, 11:34
      - totally agree. -- nm - Andie Mar 5, 11:32
- this is why I don't think her career is over, honestly. People are still interested in her. -- nm - loosilu Mar 5, 11:28 5
  - but there aren't that many outlets for this sort of thing. in terms of "giving her a real part in a real movie", why would you? -- nm - Andie Mar 5, 11:30 4
    - does she need to have a career in movies? -- nm - loosilu Mar 5, 11:32 3
      - In theory, no. In reality...yes. In her mind. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 5, 11:37
      - she needs something that pays the bills. where she is now she is the perfect reality show star. but she won't go that way. - Andie Mar 5, 11:34 1
        
        yeah, that's her fatal flaw. she wants everything high end and won't do the work. -- nm - loosilu Mar 5, 11:36

- He's an idiot. I hope the next head coach is a highly respected hungry coordinator; not a dude who's coasting off memories of a generation ago. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 5, 11:30
- Dan Snyder needs to hear it from an unbiased source -- nm - Beaker Mar 5, 11:26
GCB was lame. I have no idea who this is marketed for, it insults just about everybody. -- nm - ceregon Mar 5, 11:15 8
- The marketing was going solidly for the Desperate Housewives market. No idea if the actual shows does. -- nm - ty97 Mar 5, 11:21 1
  - I love DH. This was nowhere near it in terms of sharpness or zaniness. - ceregon Mar 5, 11:37
- Gordita Crunch Burrito? -- nm - nubby Mar 5, 11:15 5
  - it's my dream. -- nm - jones Mar 5, 11:17
  - so they're looking for a black demographic? -- nm - zork Mar 5, 11:17 2
    - Oh man, could you imagine the field day the media would have if Taco Bell had a Watermelon and Collard Greens Chalupa? - YankCranker si Mar 5, 11:20 1
      - ("watermelon empanada" ... :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 11:25

- Love this -- nm - ty97 Mar 5, 11:21
- It was hysterical. And Fallon's Neil Young is uncanny. -- nm - pmb Mar 5, 11:18

  - hypercolour (I assume neon type colours) was pre-86. my friends wore socks like that for graduation in 84. also big Polo shirts with collars up. -- nm - zork Mar 5, 11:16 4
    - hypercolor were those shirts that changed colour based on temperature, not the bright neon stuff. -- nm - Andie Mar 5, 11:16 3
      - sounds like the perfect outfit for a first date. -- nm - Max Mar 5, 11:19

  - *Teenage* -- nm - Krusty Mar 5, 11:14
Forbes: "Advertisers' Boycott Won't Dent Rush Limbaugh's Earnings" -- (link) - ty97 Mar 5, 11:00 2
- His personal income isn't really the point. The endgame revolves around how many stations continue to air his show. -- nm - Max Mar 5, 11:09
- "more than likely" -- nm - David Mar 5, 11:06
What I take from the Erin Andrews/Mike & Mike Mountain Dew commercial is that ESPN personalities don't know where the vending machines are. -- nm - David Mar 5, 10:57 2
- But it was the LAST one. -- nm - volnelk Mar 5, 11:01 1
  - In the world? Was it zombies? -- nm - David Mar 5, 11:04
znu - jones Mar 5, 10:54 4

  - whenare you going to Greece? -- nm - Beaker Mar 5, 11:04 2

  - Lainey thinks part of the reason she kept flubbing her lines is she can't talk through her mega-inflated lips: -- (link) - Andie Mar 5, 10:56 19
    - jonathan is *refusing* to watch. he's like, I've seen the photos. he has to watch, right? -- nm - jones Mar 5, 11:14 6
      - One of the sketches was so bad I ffwd'd to the next one. -- nm - Max Mar 5, 11:15 5
        
        there were a few of those. - TFox Mar 5, 11:16 4
        
        I wish I had ff'd those -- nm - zork Mar 5, 11:20
        
        I was literally too embarrassed to watch. what one sketch should we try to make JZ watch? I might be able to get him to do it if I go there. - jones Mar 5, 11:19
        
        Those were close, I was reaching for the remote when they ended the phone one. But the Save the Date song rocked. -- nm - Max Mar 5, 11:18 1
        
        That was amusing. And short. And Lilo-free. -- nm - TFox Mar 5, 11:22
    - I would agree. The scared straight sketch was her place to shine and she couldn't even say the lines. You would have thought she never saw them - pmb Mar 5, 11:08 9
      - was there some silent jab at her that hot them cracked up at the end? also, had it recorded but didn't finish the show. -- nm - zork Mar 5, 11:13 5
        
        No, (spoils) - JaxSean Mar 5, 11:14 4
        
        and releasing the tension that Lilo built up by doing such a crap job, right? -- nm - zork Mar 5, 11:17 3
        
        I didn't think she was crappy. I've seen way worse. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 5, 11:20 2
        
        She was crappy, but I've seen worse too. It's just that she had a lot riding on this where others didn't. And she's done it before pretty well, so - pmb Mar 5, 11:22
        
        she was so flat and boring and stumbled over her lines. she was like if a random non-professional won a chance to host SNL. -- nm - Andie Mar 5, 11:22
      - Her best performance was when she was playing someone illiterate. -- nm - Max Mar 5, 11:10 2
        
        "method" acting -- nm - zork Mar 5, 11:11 1
        
        just "meth" -- nm - Andie Mar 5, 11:11
    - Also, is that the way her voice sounds when she's rested? Gross. That's like 50 years two packs a day in there. -- nm - Max Mar 5, 10:59
    - oh my god. -- nm - jones Mar 5, 10:58
- i feel lame, but, do i even KNOW an ICP song? -- nm - Andie Mar 5, 10:48 6
  - ~ I'd rather cut that neck in half, I'd rather choke off that bitch-ass, I'd rather chop and never stop, because you f***ed my homie... ~ - TFox Mar 5, 10:55 2
    - yeah, not in my circles anyway. :) -- nm - Andie Mar 5, 10:57 1
      - Another career highlight is the seminal track "Bitches", featuring the late Ol' Dirty Bastard. -- nm - TFox Mar 5, 11:02
  - And yet, I suspect you know more about them than I do -- nm - con_carne Mar 5, 10:52
  - [deleted] 1
    - Yeah, I think that's the one I've seen -- nm - ty97 Mar 5, 10:51
- "Interactive digital media! How does that work?" -- nm - ICP si Mar 5, 10:46
- That seems incredibly stupid. Let them have their own festival and bring their crowds, but I wouldn't want their crowds coming to mine. -- nm - pmb Mar 5, 10:45 1
  - Agree. They haven't announced a performance yet, but the acts that are interviewed at the conference always have shows announced at some point. - ty97 Mar 5, 10:47
you're hired! -- nm - pixitude Mar 5, 10:37
