      - There is an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond (yes, that's a whole different personal issue for me) where Brad Garrett has a really big interview - ralph wiggum Aug 22, 20:51 [youtube] 36
        
        it saddens me that people remember the plots of everybody loves raymond episodes. -- nm - mafic Aug 22, 21:04
        
        what, no segments you could pull from According to Jim to support your point? -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 20:56 29
        
        *sob* You mock my tv pain! nm - ralph wiggum Aug 22, 20:58 27
        
        are you also forced to watch BBT? -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:02 26
        
        When I catch tv, it tends to be Cartoon Network stuff (that is so seriously weird shit btw), but yeah, Mr Wigs watches it. - ralph wiggum Aug 22, 21:05 25
        
        I'm so sorry. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:11 24
        
        I don't get your hatey for BBT. It's refreshing to have a comedy that has jokes that require education and/or intelligence to get and enjoy. - zork Aug 22, 21:30 10
        
        Ooh! Ooh! Ask her what she thinks of Notting Hill next!! - kelly Aug 22, 21:34
        
        the one dimensional nerd stereotypes kill the whole thing for me. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:31 8
        
        I don't find them one-dimensional. - the liioulu on a nook for the heck of it Aug 22, 21:33 3
        
        I was forced to watch way too many episodes, and to me they were extremely one dimensional. - loosilu Aug 22, 21:36 2
        
        A lot of nerds love it. *shrug* -- nm - the liioulu on a bench Aug 22, 21:39 1
        
        I'm a nerd and I love it. What other show would have someone dress up for Hallowe'en as the Doppler Effect? -- nm - zork Aug 22, 21:43
        
        and if that's what passes for intelligent TV, you need to get out more. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:32 3
        
        *ding* It makes 2 1/2 Men seem intelligent. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 21:44 2
        
        seriously? 90 percent of jokes on 2.5 are about booze, sperm, or boobs. BBT has jokes involving science, comics, history, etc. -- nm - zork Aug 22, 21:47 1
        
        just because it's better than 2.5 men doesn't mean it is any good at all. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:52
        
        Better than 2 1/2 Men, which is also on Foxtel about 14 times a day. nm - ralph wiggum Aug 22, 21:12 12
        
        Colonel Mustard loved that show! he is about to be promoted to General. I suppose I should find a new name for him. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:24 10

        General Chaos? -- nm - the liioulu on a nook for the heck of it Aug 22, 21:27 8
        
        General Knowledge? General Anesthesia? - loosilu Aug 22, 21:29 5
        
        Hmmm...does the second fit his personality? -- nm - the liioulu on a nook for the heck of it Aug 22, 21:30 4
        
        no. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:31 3
        
        General Service? -- nm - the liioulu on a nook for the heck of it Aug 22, 21:35 2
        
        *shakes head* -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:37 1
        
        I'm running out. And can't remember if there are any generals in Catch 22. -- nm - the liioulu on a bench Aug 22, 21:40
        
        There is a clothing retailer here called "General Pants" nm - ralph wiggum Aug 22, 21:28 1
        
        it's not the first thing I think of, with him. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:29
        
        it's on the poverty channels just as much. there's no escaping it. -- nm - mafic Aug 22, 21:15
        
        bery's link filter/blocker is still in place. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 20:56
        
        That was a good one. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 20:54 3
        
        I give him credit--Garrett really knows how to sell that character. nm - ralph wiggum Aug 22, 20:54 2
        
        that is literally the longest segment I have ever watched from that show. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 20:55
        
        He and Boyle were the only reason I gave the show a chance. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 20:55
        
        off to watch this! my friend M has also had parents make the phone call when employees are sick. - loosilu Aug 22, 20:53
Woot-Off: Bacon Coffin for $1499 -- (link) - budice Aug 22, 20:32 5
- I am not going to be buried. I am going to be fried. -- nm - Bacon Aug 22, 20:59 1
  - I woulld have guess cured. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:30
- Hmm, cause of death as the shape of the coffin. Not a bad idea. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 20:43
- That is half of what they normally go for. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 20:33 1
  - Grrrr... sold out. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 20:33
The combination of medications I've been on for the past week put me at increased risk of "achilles tendon rupture", which is - Reagen Aug 22, 20:32
My point was more that it's not Sciere's business to "correct" this person's parenting. (To be clear, I don't think he thinks that either.) nm - ralph wiggum Aug 22, 20:22 17
- I just removed the post from my feed... - Stephen Aug 22, 20:39 1
  - ::refrains from a Facebook is evil post:: - Spawn Aug 22, 20:41
- *nodding* -- nm - kelly Aug 22, 20:33
- as a nonparent, I take a play dumb approach (which I take to naturally). "Wow, that's a lot to put your child through!" -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 20:28 12
  - My father would have said that letting kids eat what they wanted was silly liberal thinking. - the liioulu on a nook for the heck of it Aug 22, 20:35 11
    - There's a difference between "not letting kids eat whatever they like" and "I'm going to continue making her eat this until she loves it as much as - Stephen Aug 22, 20:41 9
      - agreed. that's messed up. and I honestly still to this day do not understand the need for wars and standoffs. - loosilu Aug 22, 20:43 2
        
        Me too. - the liioulu on a nook for the heck of it Aug 22, 20:48 1
        
        this! my dad is a far more picky eater than me. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 20:49
      - Facebook didn't exist back then. -- nm - the liioulu on a nook for the heck of it Aug 22, 20:43 2
        
        But cameras did. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 21:04 1
        
        He wouldn't have been able to immediately shame me. - the liioulu on a nook for the heck of it Aug 22, 21:21
      - Yeah, it sounds like she's weird. nm - ralph wiggum Aug 22, 20:42 2
        
        Yeah...her very next post was about how hard her husband works to give them their fabulous life and if people don't like it they can go to hell! - Stephen Aug 22, 20:45 1
        
        her kids are gonna go to therapy. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 20:47
    - all I know is, I got into WAY too many fights and standoffs over food. there is no need for that bullshit. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 20:40
- I would go for more of a, "Please don't post pictures like that. That is pretty awful." -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 20:24
from b2: the stuff I was "forced" to eat when I was little? I ended up liking maybe 10%. - loosilu Aug 22, 20:19 17
- Once they forced brussel sprouts on me and 3 min after choking them down I projectile vomited them across the table onto my brother & his french fries - JenBro Aug 22, 20:49 1
  - For some odd reason that's the only thing they never made me eat, probably because everyone else loved them and that meant they got more. - the liioulu on a nook for the heck of it Aug 22, 20:53
- I hated 'pot pies' as a kid as it was served when money was tight and parents fought, wasn't till recently I could eat one, of course there's a world - zeitgeist Aug 22, 20:26
- thinking it over, maybe more like 1%. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 20:20 13
  - Exactly. 0%, actually. Even if I had changed, no way I would ever accept it after that abuse. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 20:23 12
    - agreed, I do consider that abuse. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 20:50
    - Nods -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 22, 20:28 10
      - For me, they never made me eat it. There were a few times of, "You are not leaving the table until you eat it." - Spawn Aug 22, 20:31 9
        
        I had many standoffs. it never resulted in anything good. after that I have deep respect for people with food aversions. - loosilu Aug 22, 20:51
        
        we don't do that, but it's a clear "OK, but no dessert and no park, then." -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 20:33 7
        
        that's reasonable. the hours long standoffs are another level. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 20:56
        
        Exactly what we do. And the majority of the time, he says, "Okay, no desert." and that is that. - Spawn Aug 22, 20:44 4
        
        with this you are lucky. kids are all over the map with pickiness, in the same families. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 20:57 3
        
        My sister was very picky. - the liioulu on a nook for the heck of it Aug 22, 21:00 1
        
        She still is. -- nm - the liioulu on a bench Aug 22, 21:36
        
        Takes after his mom, on this. - Spawn Aug 22, 20:58
        
        This. -- nm - Stephen Aug 22, 20:42
Side by Side was generally interesting though it did drag a bit. A very good overview from the very best in the field. -- nm - Dano Aug 22, 20:06
*GAG* -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 20:06 3
- It's okay Spawn. Takes practice getting it all in. -- nm - Qale Aug 22, 20:20 2
  - I am sorry, but I will *never* eat a mushroom. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 20:22 1
    - if you try uncircumcised ones, you won't see the mushroom -- nm - zork Aug 22, 20:30
