I've never see an episode of Friends, ER, Seinfeld, Cheers, or MASH. -- nm - MDH Jul 25, 20:36 33
- Even my nieces (in HS) have at least watched Friends! -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 25, 20:44
- FWIW, even though Simpsons virtually defines pop culture for two generations, MASH is the one you should try to watch. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:43
- See, this one *should* surprise me, but it totally doesn't. -- nm - kelly Jul 25, 20:41

  - I feel like I tried to break out some fun video games and accidentally launched SkyNet. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 25, 20:40 1
    - It's growing at a geometric rate. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:41
  - Seriously. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 25, 20:39
- That is weird. Never seen The Simpsons, Supronos, Breaking Bad ,ER -- nm - Bacon Jul 25, 20:37 7
  - I'm in the not having seen Breaking Bad column as well -- nm - JD Jul 25, 20:40

    - Heh, I just posted above. -- nm - MDH Jul 25, 20:38 1

  - Oh, I'll have to check, thanks. I know our group doesn't but I can watch it on Will's acct. -- nm - kelly Jul 25, 20:34
- nope, never -- nm - ty97 Jul 25, 20:33
- We just watched this with Nick about 3-4 months ago for family movie night. It's charming. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 25, 20:33
- You're killing me, Kelly! -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 20:32 2
  - It's so funny. I say that all.the.time. and had no idea where it was from until very recently. - kelly Jul 25, 20:33 1
    - You're going to love it. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 20:34
Despite the deep personal offence to Mr Crash Davis, instead of watching Bull Durham tonight, I'll be watching a different B.D. Movie. - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:29 1
- I'm fine with that, but tell me you'll get around to it, meat. -- nm - crash davis Jul 25, 20:30

- After "A Perfect world" and "WaterWorld", well ... - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:34 4
  - Kevin does two things well. Sports and sometimes Westerns. Other than that, your mileage may vary.... -- nm - crash davis Jul 25, 20:36 3
    - this.. For Love of the Game is worth a watch as a Costner sports movie -- nm - JD Jul 25, 20:38 1
      - Clear the mechanism -- nm - crash davis Jul 25, 20:41
    - TBH, I liked him in shadow recruit. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:37
- Never seen Bull Duham -- nm - Bacon Jul 25, 20:32 1
  - rectify that at your first possible opportunity, trust me on this -- nm - crash davis Jul 25, 20:33

    - 10/10 -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 20:35
    - Miracle is the only one of those I haven't seen. (I *love* ALOTO) -- nm - kelly Jul 25, 20:34 2
      - Miracle's shockingly gripping, given that everyone knows how it turns out. -- nm - David Jul 25, 20:35 1
        
        Very much so. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 20:36
    - Holy. Fuck. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU??? - David Jul 25, 20:33 10
      - I've seen Caddyshack though. That's a sports movie, right? -- nm - Roger More Jul 25, 20:35 9
        
        Sure but you've got some great films to catch up on. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 20:37 2
        
        I know everything I need to know about baseball from watching 42 and The Naked Gun. -- nm - Roger More Jul 25, 20:38 1
        
        Probably but I say watch them anyway. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 20:42
        
        This, I've seen. But not recently. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:36
        
        never seen it -- nm - ty97 Jul 25, 20:36 4
        
        Me either. I don't know why. I love Bill Murray. -- nm - jnine Jul 25, 20:43
        
        *sigh* -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 20:37 2
        
        I didn't quite notice my aversion to the category before today - ty97 Jul 25, 20:39 1
        
        It's much more comedy than sports and it's a classic with Dangerfield and Bill Murray being awesome. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 20:41
    - I've seen Major League. And pretty sure I saw Bull Durham years ago. - ty97 Jul 25, 20:32

- Good luck! -- nm - decline Jul 25, 20:35
- Best of luck! I hope you get something you enjoy doing. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 20:21 2
  - The thing I will enjoy doing the most is not having to pay for after-school care, heh. -- nm - kelly Jul 25, 20:23 1
    - Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 20:24
- Good luck! And thanks! -- nm - JaxSean Jul 25, 20:19
- Oh, and both people I contacted from my former school employment days read my FB messages but didn't respond. So I went with - kelly Jul 25, 20:16

- Go kick butt! -- nm - ty97 Jul 25, 20:14

- Awesome! You'll be great. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 25, 20:11
This should be easy for ST: Pew Current Event Knowledge Quiz (only 10 questions) -- (link) - ty97 Jul 25, 20:06 9
- a couple of those answers could change any...time -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 25, 22:44
- 10/10. And I agree with Volnelk. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jul 25, 20:27
- 10 out of 10. -- nm - David Jul 25, 20:26
- 9/10 -- nm - JaxSean Jul 25, 20:22
- 10/10. Some of those don't seem very 'current' to me. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 25, 20:16
- You answered 10 of 10 questions correctly. You scored better than 90% of the public and the same as 10%. -- nm - crash davis Jul 25, 20:16
- 9/10. Spoils -- (edited) - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:11 1
  - spoilers! - ty97 Jul 25, 20:12
- and for spoilers, here's how different groups have done on the quiz (this gives away the answers) -- (link) - ty97 Jul 25, 20:09
This Hour Has 22 Minutes? -- (link) - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:03
I think we need to explore this further... -- (link) - Mop Jul 25, 20:01 [Backboard] 23
- Not a lot to explore. - David Jul 25, 20:04
- I want to explore the Romper Room story, because I've forgotten that one. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 25, 20:02 21
  - They had Romper Room in Lexingon, Kentucky. I was on it when I was ~5. - David Jul 25, 20:06 20
    - Nice! I loved that show. "I see David had a special day. I see Kim had a special day yesterday. I see Ralph Wiggum and she had a fantastic day." -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 20:21
    - Spoilers - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:08 18
      - Do you know the dude with the longest beard imaginable on the show? - David Jul 25, 20:10 17
        
        Memphis Joe or whatever his name is? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:12 16
        
        Hot Rod dunham, sorry. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:13 15
        
        That's him! -- (link) - David Jul 25, 20:14 14
        
        He was on Bones *once* and I still always think of him as "that guy from bones" - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:16 13
        
        He's actually unforgettable in Tin Cup, but he doesn't look as much like my cousin in that one. - David Jul 25, 20:17 12
        
        He was on the Incredible Hulk! -- nm - Remlik Jul 25, 20:23
        
        Tin Cup didn't appeal to me. I think I was about 3 to 7 years too young. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:20 10
        
        Try it again. It's one of the best 10 movies of the 90s imo. -- nm - David Jul 25, 20:22 9
        
        I've seen fragments. It certainly looks good. I'll get to it sometime, along with Bull Durham and Field of Dreams. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:24 8
        
        Bery, we need to talk. -- nm - David Jul 25, 20:28 3
        
        I've seen the Sandlot, A League of Their Own, and Major League. I'm not doing half bad. -- nm* - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:30 2
        
        It's like you've seen White Lion but not Def Leppard. -- nm - David Jul 25, 20:31 1
        
        I was 8. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:35
        
        WTF? -- nm - crash davis Jul 25, 20:25 3
        
        I know, right? Like, ugh, sports movies -- nm - ty97 Jul 25, 20:26
        
        Yes, crash. I've never seen it. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:26 1
        
        I mean, I know a few quotes from it, like "If you build it, they will come." - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:27
And...curling...is there really any interest in Vegas next April for the championship? -- nm - Meg Jul 25, 19:58 2
- I'm starting to really want to do Vegas again. Curling is beside the point. -- nm - Mop Jul 25, 19:59 1
  - Yep, I really need a trip up there but prefer to go with a crowd. Can't be 'til next year though. -- nm - Meg Jul 25, 20:15
I'm pretty outraged - as I usually am - by some of the judge's cuts in America's Got Talent. - Mop Jul 25, 19:56
Wow. There are a lot of things I have never done. Out of every one ST listed on B2 and the bottom of this board, the only one I've ever done was - kelly Jul 25, 19:54 11
- The only one listed so far that I've done is ridden in a Porsche. And it was not as impressive as the Tesla. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:00 8
  - I took my first Driver's License test in a Porsche back in Kentucky. - IrishStephen Jul 25, 20:43
  - A close friend has a 911 and it's awesome. I've never been in a Tesla. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 20:04 6
    - It was a 20-year-old Targa. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:05 5
      - That's a sweet ride. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 20:06 4
        
        No denying it. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:07 3
        
        But it won't compete with a Tesla. I want to feel the pickup off the line in the Tesla. It looks crazy fast. -- nm* - Krusty Jul 25, 20:10 2
        
        It's awesome -- nm - JaxSean Jul 25, 20:41
        
        We were in downtown mountain view, so I didn't get to feel much of that. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:14
- (oh, and smoking.) -- nm - kelly Jul 25, 19:59
- We just wrote your bucket list! -- nm - David Jul 25, 19:55
I never have had a threesome -- nm - Amoxy Jul 25, 19:44 50
- I have never smoked pot -- nm - Bacon Jul 25, 20:29 3
  - Ditto. -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 25, 20:45
  - awww. -- nm - kelly Jul 25, 20:32
  - That's Krusty's entrance music, but he's too baked to get off the couch to do anything about it. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 25, 20:30
- I've never worn cowboy boots. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 20:02 15
  - are you willing to believe I've owned a few pair over the years? -- nm - crash davis Jul 25, 20:21 1
    - Yes. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 20:23
  - I have a pair within arms reach of me -- nm - Bacon Jul 25, 20:20
  - me neither, and I'm not too broken up over that one. -- nm - kelly Jul 25, 20:18 1
    - 👍 -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 20:29
  - Ha! I have. This reminded me of when I came home on leave from Ft. Campbell wearing a pair, and the confused look my parents gave me. -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 25, 20:15 3
    - Ha! -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 20:24
    - Dude, you live in the valley, gotta have boots -- nm - Bacon Jul 25, 20:22 1
      - If I ever win the lottery and buy a ranch, then I'll get another pair. -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 25, 20:39
  - It's a wildly overrated experience. Although Kim really pulls them off. -- nm - David Jul 25, 20:08 5
    - They look rather sexy on women but it's not something I'd wear or be able to walk in. - Krusty Jul 25, 20:13 4
      - They definitely blister my feet. I've worn them maybe twice in my life. -- nm - David Jul 25, 20:15 3
        
        Got to break them in. Wear them a couple hours every other day, after a week you can wear em all day - Bacon Jul 25, 20:32 2
        
        They get broken in well by the trash compactor too. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 20:34 1
        
        *laughing* yee haw! -- nm - kelly Jul 25, 20:35
- I have never been hang gliding -- nm - Amoxy Jul 25, 19:53 1
  - Me either. It seems extremely dangerous. -- nm - David Jul 25, 19:55
- Neither have I. - Mop Jul 25, 19:51
- I've never done a keg stand or a beer bong - Pippy Jul 25, 19:49 22
  - in my younger days, I think I regretted 50% of all beer bongs I'd done -- nm - crash davis Jul 25, 20:20
  - Me either. -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 25, 20:15
  - Same. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 20:03
  - I've played beer pong with my teenage cousins - ty97 Jul 25, 19:59 11
    - Side note: I only semi-recently discovered that to most people Beer Pong = throwing the ball at cups - ralph wiggum Jul 25, 20:01 10
      - Turning this around, I've never heard of someone using an actual ping pong table. It sounds like something that would offend Beta House. -- nm - David Jul 25, 20:11 3
        
        I know I'm in the minority. I just never even realized there was a different way. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 25, 20:13 2
        
        (You're posting extremely funny tonight.) -- nm - David Jul 25, 20:15 1
        
        <3 nm - ralph wiggum Jul 25, 20:16
      - There's no rules! *drinks all the beer and flips the table* - Krusty Jul 25, 20:09 1
        
        oh we play relay flip cup as well -- nm - ty97 Jul 25, 20:13
      - If you're not playing with paddles, you bounce it toward the cups. But I've never played. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 20:04
      - We've never played with paddles - ty97 Jul 25, 20:03 2
        
        Well, you know us Harvard snobs. We just had our butlers hit the ball for us. :P nm - ralph wiggum Jul 25, 20:04 1
        
        ha! -- nm - ty97 Jul 25, 20:04
  - If I did either one, I don't remember it. -- nm - David Jul 25, 19:54
  - Me neither -- nm - Amoxy Jul 25, 19:52
  - I never did a keg stand and I've never smoked a cigarette. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 25, 19:50 4
    - Smoked 4 one night in Junior High. That was enough -- nm - Amoxy Jul 25, 19:59
    - I've never smoked either kind of cigarette. -- nm - David Jul 25, 19:54 2
      - A *jazz* cigarette? -- nm - Reagen Jul 25, 19:56 1
        
        Never trust a beatnik! -- nm - David Jul 25, 19:57
- I haven't either, although I did have a couple of dudes try to talk me into it. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 25, 19:48 2
  - Came very close to a foursome, but somebody got scared - Amoxy Jul 25, 19:51 1
    - It does... change things. -- nm - Spawn Jul 25, 19:54
- It's never too late ! - Pippy Jul 25, 19:48
