re: michael phelps - for a few weeks, we've had radio ads here for a leadership seminar. the ads have rudy giuliani listing some of who's participa- - b! Feb 9, 23:09 7
- Someone I follow Twittered (what sounds like) the same seminar today in Honolulu. -- (link) - psilotum Feb 9, 23:21 1
  - yup. it's a tour thing, with some changes here and there. -- nm - b! Feb 9, 23:24
- I can think of a few ways Mr. Phelps could do something naughty ... . -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 9, 23:15 4
  - he likely already has... - b! Feb 9, 23:19
  - The backstroke? -- nm - Redmond Feb 9, 23:18
  - Like playing a plastic instrument in his undies isn't naughty enough? -- nm - Trish Feb 9, 23:16 1
    - I'm sure if I put my mind to it, I could come up with a few more things even naughtier. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 9, 23:18

ooh, on the 101 now. *waves* -- nm - pigby Feb 9, 22:58
I've only seen about 10 minutes of Grey's Anatomy and only 1 episode of DH. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 9, 22:57 16
- I like Grey's a lot, I watched maybe 2 eps of DH and said no way. That bastard Remlik got me into NCIS. - Trish Feb 9, 22:59 9
  - Nothing wrong with NCIS. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 9, 23:02 8
    - I was successfully ignoring it until he sent us season 1. It's kinda like Darcy digging out her Mortal Kombat dvd. - Trish Feb 9, 23:04 7
      - I really liked the first one. The sequel not so much. -- nm - Redmond Feb 9, 23:08 2
        
        I just want to know what kind of styling product Liu Kang used--his mega mullet was perfect during and after every fight, yet it stayed all fluffy. -- nm - Trish Feb 9, 23:11 1
        
        That's his special ability. -- nm - Redmond Feb 9, 23:17
      - Get over here! -- nm - scorpion davis Feb 9, 23:06 3
        
        *shoots a freeze ray at you and acts all superior* - Trish Feb 9, 23:07 2
        
        I beat that punk with every DC character available, including the Joker -- nm - crash davis Feb 9, 23:10 1
        
        He's just misunderstood. - Trish Feb 9, 23:12
- I finally watched my first BSG a couple days ago. -- nm - the darcy Feb 9, 22:59 1
  - it's not like we haven't been trying to get you to watch it for the last 3 years! -- nm - your parents Feb 9, 23:15
- I've watched too much of both those shows, and I want them to collide together and die in a fire. -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 22:58 2
  - No one ever warns you that "for better or for worse" includes suffering through really crap tv. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 9, 23:00 1
    - thankfully we've drawn up a truce pact for these shows. -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 23:03
- 0 Grey's Anatomy. I think I have seen under 5 episodes of ER. Only 1 of NCIS -- nm - Redmond Feb 9, 22:57
One of the best shows currently running on television. Official trailer for Torchwood: Children of the Earth. -- (link) - H-Mogul Feb 9, 22:50
Whatta ya mean "my dick" is not an acceptable answer? -- (link) - zork Feb 9, 22:48
Q. from the back of my pepperidge farm goldfish bag: what's a pretzel's favorite dance? - b! Feb 9, 22:48 4
- I like your answer better -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 9, 23:13
- that was my guess -- nm - zork Feb 9, 22:51
- seriously. they're trying too hard -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 22:48
- modern interpretive -- nm - pigby Feb 9, 22:48
Hey Pixie, guess what. - Trish Feb 9, 22:43 15
- In BED - H-Mogul Feb 9, 22:48 14
  - *blink*blink* -- nm - b! Feb 9, 22:50
  - I'll be getting in bed about the time Crash is getting up. - Trish Feb 9, 22:49 12
    - Not going to say a word. Not one word. - H-Mogul Feb 9, 22:52
    - ~ by the time i watch The Closer, he'll be rising ~ -- nm - pigby Feb 9, 22:51 1
      - this board needs more Jimmy Webb references, next do either Wichita Lineman or Macarthur Park -- nm - crash davis Feb 9, 22:58
    - no Electric blankie? -- nm - Stacy Feb 9, 22:51 8
      - We have one, but I'm a little weirded out by spreading an electrical field over my body and sleeping. I'll stick with the down comforter :) -- nm - Trish Feb 9, 22:57 1
        
        The comforter is much more comfortable, IMO. -- nm - psilotum Feb 9, 23:05
      - oo! million dollar idea for mick.! electric snuggie/slanket! -- nm - b! Feb 9, 22:53 5
        
        i'd be tempted to suffer that indignity tonight - pigby Feb 9, 22:56 4
        
        Oh, go get a cat, Cathy. -- nm - Trish Feb 9, 23:17
        
        ::burrito wraps you in quilt then in down comforter:: -- nm - b! Feb 9, 22:58 2
        
        *smothers to death* -- nm - pigby Feb 9, 22:59 1
        
        aww, i left a nose hole! -- nm - b! Feb 9, 23:03
LA peeps, are they saying at all on TV who the "high profile" driver might be? - pigby Feb 9, 22:36 11
- Has anybody seen CY tonight? -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 9, 23:07
- Heh, spike strips may not be effective, 'cause lots of expensive cars have those new tires that are self-sealing. -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 9, 22:59
- OJ is locked up so maybe Phil Spector -- nm - zork Feb 9, 22:47 2
  - Phelps, I hope. - Beryllium Feb 9, 22:49 1
    - First the pot, now this. So sad. -- nm - the darcy Feb 9, 22:51
- They said that there is a female assault victim who is not telling the police anything -- nm - BAD Feb 9, 22:43
- Car has Illinois plates. KTLA has no information on the driver. -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 9, 22:41 2
  - It's ex-Governor Blagoivich! -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 9, 22:52 1
    - I can't even look at him now without seeing the Lego Blagoivich from The Daily Show. -- nm - Trish Feb 9, 22:54
- Where's Chris Brown tonight? -- nm - Mop Feb 9, 22:38
- They aren't saying who the driver is. It doesn't seem like he is a famous person. Just some rich guy. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 9, 22:38
"...aaaaand... T.Pain." -- nm - Mop Feb 9, 22:28 1
- A MOTHERFUCKIN BOAT, YEAH! -- nm - Beryllium Feb 9, 22:28
and Trish, because I love you, I tivo'd Simon Baker on the Tonight show for you. -- nm - crash davis Feb 9, 22:26 14
- triskadecaphobia thread count post -- nm - crash davis Feb 9, 22:43
- I LOVE you! Did he talk all sexy Tasmanian? -- nm - Trish Feb 9, 22:33 6
  - Wait, he has a kid named "Harry Friday"? Are you freakin kidding me? nm - ralph wiggum Feb 9, 22:36 1
    - At least it's not "Pilot Inspecktor". -- nm - Trish Feb 9, 22:36
  - well, he's not a very good Tasmanian, I found out he has never seen a live Tasmanian devil. -- nm - crash davis Feb 9, 22:34 3
    - has anyone other than Bugs Bunny? - pigby Feb 9, 22:35 2
      - I think people from National Parks are immune to them, at least I know folks from Yosemite are -- nm - crash davis Feb 9, 22:36
      - People from Tasmania, you ignorant git. - Trish Feb 9, 22:36
- *dips Simon Baker in Ranch* -- nm - Qale Feb 9, 22:28 5
  - Screw you and your nasty ass Ranch! - Trish Feb 9, 22:34 3
    - Ranch is great with almost anything IMO -- nm - Stacy Feb 9, 22:38
    - Back in HS I hated Ranch. I hated Sour Cream. Now I like them. So strange. -- nm - Qale Feb 9, 22:37 1
      - ~ how bizzare, how bizzare ~ -- nm - pigby Feb 9, 22:40
  - mmm Ranch -- nm - Stacy Feb 9, 22:33
Much in the same way you people start talking baseball the instant the season is over, Fivethirtyeight.com is already talking 2010. - Mop Feb 9, 22:24 2
- It still cracks me up that Idaho has a senator named Crapo. -- nm - Tim Feb 9, 22:29 1
  - He's a wolf killer, too. -- nm - Trish Feb 9, 22:55
RC, I never meant to start watching Medium but I started last year and I enjoy it. Tonight's ending was good fun. -- nm - crash davis Feb 9, 22:24 2
- I had the same experience. It's kind of a spooky show, but it's also a cool little family drama, too. - ReluctantCynic Feb 9, 22:50 1
  - Oh, and David is as crazy as ever. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 9, 23:16
I've seen precisely one full episode of CSI ever. -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 22:22 52
- I'm a big fan of Liev Schreiber (I even liked Kate & Leopold) and thus will probably see his episodes of CSI. -- nm - Mop Feb 9, 22:31 6
  - I wish they had gone a different direction with his character, but it was a good story -- nm - Beryllium Feb 9, 22:32 2
    - Also, if he doesn't reprise John Clark in at least one more Tom Clancy movie (either Without Remorse or Rainbow Six), I might boycott. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 9, 22:33 1
      - I wanted him or Clive Owen to play the new James Bond rather than old lumpy head. - Trish Feb 9, 22:48
  - Aside: Those of you hoping that Kate & Leopold will somehow prime you for the Wolverine movie will be sorely disappointed. -- nm - Mop Feb 9, 22:31 2
    - "I don't get it. Does Meg Ryan have mutant fish powers or something?" -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 22:33 1
      - She was so horrible and all you could focus on were those lips. I wish the movie had been just "Leopold". -- nm - Trish Feb 9, 22:47
- 0 minutes of The Simpsons -- nm - Redmond Feb 9, 22:28 21
  - I'm starting to wonder if you're really American. Maybe you're a Bulgarian spy or something. -- nm - Trish Feb 9, 22:35
  - is this another of those "didn't think it would live up to the hype" things? 'cause that would seem to have taken actual avoidance tactics. -- nm - b! Feb 9, 22:34 2
    - "seem to have taken actual avoidance tactics" is that the technical term for turning the channel? :) -- nm - Redmond Feb 9, 22:48 1
      - hee. i meant related to the pop-culture inclusions. - b! Feb 9, 22:49
  - There's help out there for you. You just need to ask. -- nm - Mop Feb 9, 22:30
  - Ha-HA! -- nm - Nelson Muntz Feb 9, 22:30
  - I'm so sorry. I had no idea. -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 22:29
  - That right there is David-Level Crazy. In fact, it might supplant DLC as the new gold standard. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 9, 22:28 13
    - I don't even see how it's possible. -- nm - TFox Feb 9, 22:29 12
      - We aren't counting the commercials. Because from those I pretty much get that Homer is a dork, Bart is a wise ass, and Lisa is a brain. - Redmond Feb 9, 22:33 10
        
        Simpsons did it! Simpsons did it! -- nm - Qale Feb 9, 22:38
        
        oh, well then. imagine Peter Griffin as an imbecile and an oaf, and that's Homer Simpson. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 9, 22:37 8
        
        Wait, what???? nm - ralph wiggum Feb 9, 22:49 7
        
        I was too shocked to do anything. I just kept reloading hoping it would disappear. -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 22:49 6
        
        As I've mentioned before, when I finally do go on that tri-state killing spree, it's going to be because of Peter Griffin's voice and laugh. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 9, 22:54 4
        
        Since I am new to the show. Is there a reason that his chin resembles a nut sack? - Redmond Feb 9, 22:56 2
        
        I don't know if there is a reason behind it, but they have made that specific joke. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 9, 22:58 1
        
        I am hooked on that that show for one reason. Stewie. -- nm - Redmond Feb 9, 22:59
        
        and that's saying something considering the states in Australia. -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 22:55
        
        wait, he wasn't joking? -- nm - b! Feb 9, 22:52
      - I know! It's like never having seen M*A*S*H*. I mean, I guess I can assume that maybe JB/Igor or Hotkiss haven't seen MASH, but anyone older than them - Beryllium Feb 9, 22:30
- me, too. the furry episode, but i thought it was ok. and i think a couple of taahm when it first started. -- nm - b! Feb 9, 22:28
- This is about as crazy as me having watched 0 minutes of HIMYM. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 9, 22:27 1
  - I've never seen any HIMYM either -- nm - crash davis Feb 9, 22:28
- Same here. I watched the furry episode and actively disliked it. -- nm - David Feb 9, 22:25 1
  - I found that episode to be hilarious, but different from most other CSI episodes. And certainly different from Miami and NY variants. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 9, 22:27
- also, maybe 10 minutes total of Two and a Half Men. -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 22:25 17
  - Zero of that. Zero of According to Jim and Zero of that one with Kevin James whose name escapes me. -- nm - Trish Feb 9, 22:39 1
    - "Fat Guy With Hot Wife" -- nm - Tim Feb 9, 22:46
  - Ironically, the CSI episode written by the Two and a Half Men writers is pretty good. - Tim Feb 9, 22:33 2
    - heh, yeah, that was a good one - but you just reminded me that the head writer from that one guested on CSI's most recent ep, too, I think -- nm - Beryllium Feb 9, 22:33 1
      - nope, I think I made a mistake. I thought Frank Whaley was in both, but I guess not. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 9, 22:36
  - a ha. I think i've found my winner. I remain an According to Jim virgin. -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 22:27 10
    - God, I wish I could say that. Stupid Mr. Wigs and his indiscriminate love of all things sitcom-esque. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 9, 22:31 9
      - I also avoided King of Queens enitirely and all but I think 2 episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond. - Reagen Feb 9, 22:36 8
        
        I know from way too much experience that King of Queens is, relatively speaking, the best of the Fat Guy with Hot Wife sitcoms. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 9, 22:40 7
        
        Still Standing! -- nm - Tim Feb 9, 22:48 3
        
        Yes. (I was pretending not to know, but I was only fooling myself.) nm - ralph wiggum Feb 9, 22:51
        
        I'm so disappointed in you right now. -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 22:50 1
        
        I can't help that I have an encyclopedic knowledge of the last 20 years of pop culture. -- nm - Tim Feb 9, 22:53
        
        I am admittedly confused by the Patton Oswalt thing, but I'm staying strong. -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 22:42 2
        
        The best line of that entire series was delivered by Oswalt: My Tivo thinks I'm gay! -- nm - Mop Feb 9, 22:47
        
        Oh, I'm not advocating for it. I'm just saying it's a tolerable blip in my bland sitcom hell. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 9, 22:45
  - 0 for me. -- nm - David Feb 9, 22:25
So much for a rivalry between Pixar and Dreamworks, now they are both part of Disney. -- nm - Stacy Feb 9, 22:22 7
- Dreamworks Animation is not part of the distribution deal I don't think. -- nm - Qale Feb 9, 22:23 6
  - That's right. Dreamworks Animation and Dreamworks Studios are entirely separate entiries since Dreamworks SKG broke up. -- nm - Mop Feb 9, 22:33 2
    - Wait wait! Does this mean the end of the boy fishing from the moon? That sucks! -- nm - Qale Feb 9, 22:39 1
      - Dreamworks Animation continues to use that logo. I don't know if Speilberg's new Dreamworks Studio has put out a movie yet, so I can't say. -- nm - Mop Feb 9, 22:46
  - yeah, I don't see any ownership changes in the deal. -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 22:24 2
    - whew! Thanks guys! -- nm - Stacy Feb 9, 22:27 1
      - Skadoosh! -- nm - Qale Feb 9, 22:29
But I'm good without you. Yeah, I'm good without you. - David Feb 9, 22:21
hahah ... this goes hand-in-hand with the "i've got a pot" voicemail guy -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 9, 22:21 [youtube]
