        Only vaguely knowing Tom Baker is the crime here. -- nm - TWuG Apr 24, 09:46 4
        
        In my defense, I'm American and wasn't a virgin into my 20s. -- nm - David Apr 24, 09:48 3

  - heh (they have a ton of young talent though, nice to see them put together a decent year) -- nm - Beaker Apr 24, 09:03
- Sadly, I'm getting emails about Blues playoff tickets and nothing about the Wings. - spamlet Apr 24, 09:02 5
  - I know, right? It's like bizarro NHL when the hated Red Wings may fall on the outside looking in. - Jim Apr 24, 09:11 2
    - Yes, you do know how to feel about that! -- nm - spamlet Apr 24, 09:15 1
      - Well, I'm thrilled they're not in. But I also get much joy of watching them get knocked out of the playoffs. - Jim Apr 24, 09:29

Sadness at the Starr Ranch Sanctuary - seems the single Red Shouldered Hawk chick was taken by another bird this morning :( - Meg Apr 24, 08:54 3

Look, not to be a dick about it, but like my page on Facebook, and I'll like your page, OK? -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Apr 24, 08:52 12
- I made the mistake of inviting only certain people, then when I went back to invite everyone else I had no clue who I had already invited. -- nm - Ender Apr 24, 09:03 2
  - Fear not. It won't let you send more than one invitation. Those who are grayed out already have an invitation pending and won't receive a 2nd message. - Mop (190 lbs) Apr 24, 09:36 1
    - Ok, good. I saw the grayed out people, but I thought those were just the ones who had accepted. -- nm - Ender Apr 24, 09:42
- I like almost nothing on facebook. it just creates more inline ads. -- nm - amanda Apr 24, 08:54 7
  - i have been 'unliking' pages on FB, and unsubscribing to all the corporate emails that seemingly come out of nowhere. - Andie Apr 24, 09:03
  - AdBlockPlus kills those ads -- nm - TWuG Apr 24, 08:55 5
    - I don't have that. I know I should, but... plus doesn't blocking them leave huge blank spaces in your feed? that's not great either. -- nm - amanda Apr 24, 08:56 4
      - it erases the ads from the DOM - typically this means that anything below it would just slide up to replace what was removed -- nm - Beryllium Apr 24, 09:01
      - Nope. I never see ads and it leaves no evidence they were ever there. -- nm - TWuG Apr 24, 08:58 2
        
        Yup. I couldn't use the internet without Adblock Plus. It's an ugly world out there. -- nm - Krusty Apr 24, 09:00 1
        
        I use AdBlockPlus and Better Pop Up Blocker. Kills most ads and I never see pop-ups. - TWuG Apr 24, 09:02
- no -- nm - Spawn Apr 24, 08:52

Thinking out loud, Dragon's Lair with Russ Meyer influence is pretty much my wheelhouse. - David Apr 24, 08:47
as part of my union negotiations, this is what our union leader played for both groups before one meeting (amusing) -- (link) - Beaker Apr 24, 08:44 [youtube] 2
- (Bery: would there be a way when posting a link that you know to be nsfw to have a button so we could do it ourselves during post - Beaker Apr 24, 08:45 1 1
  - It's an often-requested feature. I'm lazy and lethargic. One day, Beaker... one day. - Beryllium Apr 24, 08:52
Why don't they ever bring back or remake good shows, like 'BJ and the Bear.' Now there's a concept I can't get enough of, a man and his monkey. -- nm - Spawn Apr 24, 08:44 16
- Starring Ryan Lochte. They could do an episode where he's a man at night and a monkey in the morning. -- nm - Diva Apr 24, 08:58 1
  - L4 -- nm - mara Apr 24, 09:24
- I used to love that show. BJ and Dukes of Hazard were 2 of my favorites. -- nm - Jim Apr 24, 08:47
- Because "BJ and the Bear" sounds like gay pron. -- nm - MDH Apr 24, 08:45 12
  - How about Different Strokes? -- nm - LMS Apr 24, 09:02 2
    - Race and class issues laughably go unaddressed in American TV. People don't seem to like being reminded of it... -- nm - con_carne Apr 24, 09:09 1
      - ITV here is broadcasting it's first gay sitcom next week with Sir Ian McKellan & Sir Derek Jacobi. - LMS Apr 24, 09:13
  - And a footnote, the only place I have ever heard the whole Bear thing is on ST. -- nm - Spawn Apr 24, 08:46 7
    - Once you are up to speed on bears, we can explain otters, wolves, and cubs. -- nm - MDH Apr 24, 08:48 3
      - and optimistic red walruses! -- nm - Reagen Apr 24, 08:50 2
        
        I feel like you just jumped through The Phantom Tollbooth. -- nm - David Apr 24, 08:52
        
        Haha, that was fantastic -- nm - MDH Apr 24, 08:51
    - Do you just not know a lot of gay people? I'm teasing you. I'm genuinely curious. -- nm - David Apr 24, 08:48 2
      - True. Not as many as I used to, but then again I really don't go out much any more. - Spawn Apr 24, 08:50
      - *not* teasing you -- nm - David Apr 24, 08:48
  - You say that like it is a bad thing. -- nm - Spawn Apr 24, 08:46
