We're getting a Twin Peaks next month. - David Apr 5, 09:21 6
- congrats on the strip club! -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 5, 09:22 5
  - I just looked it up to see what it was. After scrolling through the David Lynch tv show links I found a link for a Hooters in flannel. -- nm - Bacon Apr 5, 09:24 4
    - Did you miss all the Capstern links? -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 5, 09:26 3
      - I must have. This is the first time I have heard of it other than the TV show -- nm - Bacon Apr 5, 09:31
      - I figured he was just inquiring about a job at a strip club... - Will Hunting Apr 5, 09:30 1
        
        I have one sort of. We have customers that are strip clubs and about a couple times a month I have to do customer service there. -- nm - Bacon Apr 5, 09:30
Pic on the right is a kid mistakenly dressed for Pajama Day on school picture day. On the left is someone using Photoshop to "fix" it -- (link) - con_carne Apr 5, 09:03 [Image] 3
- Awesome. Had seen the left, but not the right. -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 5, 09:08 2
  - usually how these things work -- nm - con_carne Apr 5, 09:18 1
    - (the left was more meaningful to me). - Spawn Lord Apr 5, 09:26
A Winter Soldier thought. (spoiler) - Spawn Lord Apr 5, 08:49
C'mon Ful..er no can't do it. Really?! That was a penalty earlier and then a really bad give away - JD Apr 5, 08:45 1
- no Delph, no Benteke, no heart -- nm - CQ Apr 5, 08:57
WM - you around? ika-related -- nm - Diva Apr 5, 08:28 3
- Yeah, on there. -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 5, 08:28 2
  - it looks good. -- nm - Diva Apr 5, 08:33 1
    - Thanks. Just announced. Get well, Mel! -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 5, 08:37
it's time to play Six Degrees of My Brain: for what reason related to recent discussion here do I have an image of a giant burning statue in my head? -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 08:11 8
- some mention of Burning Man....oh from last night's posts about vegas tips, the container park has a flame throwing grasshopper? -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 5, 12:26
- (the answer is The Legend Of Billie Jean) - Reagen Apr 5, 08:48 2
  - good lord. My 80s was cooler than yours. -- nm - mud Apr 5, 09:23 1
    - Invincible is a great song! -- nm - IrishStephen Apr 5, 09:24
- one of the 900 eps. of The Simpsons you have archived in yor hed -- nm - mud Apr 5, 08:22 1
  - surprisingly no. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 08:24
- End of The Colbert Report? -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 5, 08:12 1
  - nope. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 08:16
Now playing: Better Off Ted: Racial Sensitivity - prayformojo Apr 5, 07:59 4
- Yeah, that's a classic. -- nm - Inigo Apr 5, 08:08
- Yup. -- nm - David Apr 5, 08:06 2
  - Actually, it looks like Tuesday is the 5 year anniversary of the episode -- nm - prayformojo Apr 5, 08:07 1
    - you're a rotten liar. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 08:09
Comma sutra -- (link) - mara Apr 5, 07:33 1
- Oh my. *reaches for the NSFW button* -- nm - Was Bar Was Apr 5, 09:00
ST: will you be watching Silicon Valley after GOT Sunday night? -- nm - Beaker Apr 5, 07:30 3
- Nope -- nm - Flavorize Apr 5, 07:51
- It's set on the DVR. No GoT. Not sure what to watch with TWD on hiatus. -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 07:45
- Worth a shot. We'll record it. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 5, 07:43
Early numbers are showing Capt America 2 between 90-98 -- nm - MDH Apr 5, 07:03
Colbert the frontrunner to replace Letterman? -- (link) - CovingtonCat Apr 5, 05:20 31
- Do they mean in character or out of character? -- nm - mara Apr 5, 07:00 14
  - Out of character. What I read yesterday said he'd be himself. -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 07:06 13
    - Right, it sounds like the character will die at the end of next year no matter what. - David Apr 5, 07:14 12
      - BUCKWHEAT HAS BEEN SHOT! -- nm - Beaker Apr 5, 07:31
      - The show is still funny but I can see him just wanting to do something else. He's a brilliant man that has so much comedic talent. - Krusty Apr 5, 07:24 10
        
        I'd miss his political commentary, but he can always write books. -- nm - mara Apr 5, 07:32 9
        
        Agreed. It'll hurt more when Jon Stewart stops doing TDS. Both shows are well written and performed. - Krusty Apr 5, 07:39 4
        
        At $30 million a year, Stewart isn't going anywhere and even if he does, one of the team will replace him. -- nm - David Apr 5, 08:48 3
        
        Would be interesting to see who his band would be. In fact, that may be the most interesting part of whoever takes over. -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 5, 08:51 2
        
        I'd watch TDS with Aasif Mandvi. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 08:56 1
        
        The maion problem with JS doing it is too many people would be let down if he was not doing TDS style stuff on CBS. - Spawn Lord Apr 5, 08:57
        
        I would imagine one of CBS' conditions will be that he avoid political commentary in all forms. -- nm - David Apr 5, 07:35 3
        
        well I don't think make that a condition, but I bet they ask on the side that he dials it down a bit -- nm - Remlik Apr 5, 09:17
        
        IMO, if they did take him on, such a condition would be like killing the goose that laid the golden egg - con_carne Apr 5, 08:53
        
        Makes sense. -- nm - mara Apr 5, 07:41
- It would be a hysterical turn of events after #CancelColbert. -- nm - David Apr 5, 06:58 14
  - His show gets canceled after all. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Apr 5, 09:14
  - did you read the Salon interview? - Reagen Apr 5, 07:10 12
    - No. Link? -- nm - David Apr 5, 07:14 11
      - here. -- (link) - Reagen Apr 5, 07:18 10
        
        That was like a whole lot of verbal diarrhea. -- nm - IrishStephen Apr 5, 09:22
        
        she keeps talking around in circles and doesn't sound like she any sort of endgame at all. -- nm - Remlik Apr 5, 08:07 2
        
        She is thrilled by the attention. It's classic trolling. -- nm - David Apr 5, 08:49 1
        
        oh it is and she is. -- nm - Remlik Apr 5, 09:14
        
        "It would be reductive to dismiss Park as a troll who baited a show for her own personal profile as an activist" - David Apr 5, 07:26 5
        
        I've never seen "sorry I was distracted by a bird' in an interview before. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 07:37 2
        
        Had to text her friends that Salon was interviewing her. -- nm - David Apr 5, 08:07 1
        
        that's an irrelevant point -- nm - Remlik Apr 5, 08:31
        
        She's most definitely a troll trying to gain popularity and it's working. - Krusty Apr 5, 07:36 1
        
        Yup. -- nm - David Apr 5, 08:06
- But Colbert was the reason I stopped watching the Late Show! - Cuzzin Todd Apr 5, 06:36

  - We had 3D T, Spider-Man, Godzilla, GotG. -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 5, 00:59
- I think that sums up The WInter Soldier. Thanks. -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 5, 00:46

Google App Store. 3D Earthquake App is bad ass. Seems like something out of StarTrek -- nm - Bacon via Google Nexus 10 Apr 4, 23:26
The martial arts studio where Gus pretends to be a lawyer ... that scene is golden -- nm - Beryllium Apr 4, 23:08 2

  - It was a wonderful show. -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 06:19
Captain America Winter Solider: A. probably the strongest story out all the Marvel movie, Avengers had better action due to variety of teammates. - Remlik Apr 4, 22:40 3

      - But Houston would have to win. -- nm - Dano Apr 5, 05:30
      - The Reds do it, too. Also when there's a home run. My move put me a little further away but I still hear them. - CovingtonCat Apr 5, 03:35
      - Yep, I sometimes hear them from Anaheim Stadium. Later and further away than Disneyland. -- nm - Meg Apr 4, 21:36 1

  - Oh, I think they all get skewered pretty good. The incessant plane coverage on CNN would be perfect in this movie. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 5, 08:44
