- Are you kidding me? With a billion people watching, including every star in the galaxy? - Jim Feb 27, 07:18
- I don't think anyone wants me hosting the Oscars. I can barely entertain a small Oscar party, and that's with the Oscars on -- nm - Mr. Havens Feb 27, 07:17

  - Eff you. Letterman did a great job. -- nm - Mr. Havens Feb 27, 07:13 4
    - Yeah. I think he meant can't do worse than Franco. -- nm - Dano Feb 27, 07:16 1
      - Seriously, if the worst thing one can come up to diss Letterman is "Uma/Oprah," and that's about the only thing mentioned about his hosting job - Mr. Havens Feb 27, 07:26
    - Uma? -- nm - Mop Feb 27, 07:14 1
      - Oprah -- nm - Mr. Havens Feb 27, 07:16
- Of course. -- nm - MDH Feb 27, 07:07
I'm sure groiny will love this. Encounter between gun owner and police (description claims law student and I'd believe it by the stuff he says) -- (link) - oblique Feb 27, 07:04 23
- or, he could decide to not be a dick and carry his gun around in public. - znufrii Feb 27, 07:15 21
  - lol, it is a legal carry state, he can carry this the same way you carry your purse. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 27, 07:16 20
    - In a legal carry state, do you have to have a permit to carry? Or is that just a concealed weapon? Also, what constitutes legally carrying versus - Jim Feb 27, 07:28 4
      - I am not in a legal carry state, so I am not the best one to answer, but based on the video... - groiny Feb 27, 07:31 2
        
        If you see someone walking down the street packing...does that not concern you at all, though? - Jim Feb 27, 07:33 1
        
        Further, he was WAY too quick with all the legal references. I have little doubt he was trolling for a cop - Jim Feb 27, 07:33
      - if you watch the video, you can not just stop someone for carrying. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 27, 07:29
    - I'm sure he is every bit within his rights. I'm not saying otherwise. - znufrii Feb 27, 07:19 14
      - if it is his right, how can it be viewed as dickish???? nm -- nm - groiny Feb 27, 07:20 13
        
        Only one law decides if someone is being a dick or not. The rest simply decide if someone is a criminal. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 27, 07:28
        
        See the Westboro Baptist Church. -- nm - Roger More Feb 27, 07:26 2
        
        cause that is completely the same thing -- nm - Epiphany Feb 27, 07:29 1
        
        I'm not saying it's the same thing. It's just a clearer example of where someone is within their rights, but at the same time dickish. -- nm - Roger More Feb 27, 07:32
        
        because the two aren't mutually exclusive. - znufrii Feb 27, 07:24 4
        
        again, not the same thing. He is bothering no one by carrying there. - groiny Feb 27, 07:26 3
        
        he bothered enough people that called it in to the police -- nm - znufrii Feb 27, 07:26 2
        
        so just because someone calls police, makes it ok? nm -- nm - groiny Feb 27, 07:27 1
        
        I'm not discussing the actions of the police here. - znufrii Feb 27, 07:33
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        that makes zero sense in this context. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 27, 07:24 2

- I get a notice/pop-up from Adobe when a new update is available, outside of the browser. -- nm - Mop Feb 27, 07:09
- I think Google disabled it when the Flash exploit arose. Could be they don't think Flash has fixed itself, yet. -- nm - TWuG Feb 27, 06:51 1
  - Chrome has flash built in now, iirc. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 27, 07:15

      - mainly, the use of Dream Girls and Chicago (inappropriate to give two older movies such a showcase.) and some of the intro banter was painful - Andie Feb 27, 06:50 1

      - Now that I've finally watched the whole thing, my biggest problem with Sunday's show was MacFarlane making it about himself so often - Mr. Havens Feb 27, 07:23 4
        
        The IM: That was obviously part of the act -- nm - con_carne Feb 27, 07:25 3
        
        I understand, but that doesn't necessarily make it funny or funnier to the audience - Mr. Havens Feb 27, 07:27 2

    - It would seem that if your name isn't Billy Crystal...your hosting job sucks...before you even step foot on the stage. -- nm - Jim Feb 27, 06:07 10
      - Agreed, but this year was extreme. Some people were just waiting to be offended by McFarlane. -- nm - Inigo Feb 27, 06:33 5
        
        You don't want to be offended by an Oscar host, don't go into acting. -- nm - CQ Feb 27, 06:36 4

        I think it's "people" that didn't like it, not necessarily the actors and Oscar attendees. In fact, I haven't really seen much on what the attendees - Don Homer Feb 27, 06:40 2
