Which is the better album: Synchronicity or Dream of the Blue Turtles? - prayformojo Dec 5, 12:07 12
- I don't like new music -- nm - Beaker Dec 5, 12:16 3
  - Luckily, neither of them are new. -- nm - Spawndroid Dec 5, 12:22 2
    - I don't like the rap music either -- nm - Beaker Dec 5, 12:25 1
      - Last night Amy and I started singing Wrap It Up (Fab TBirds) and Logan turned it into a rap. - Spawndroid Dec 5, 12:27
- the only strike against Synchronicty is the songs "Mother" and "O My god" -- nm - Remlik Dec 5, 12:11 6
  - But even with that, I can name every song on Synchronicity. I can only think of 8 from Dream. -- nm - Spawn Dec 5, 12:16 5
    - I think Dream is the stronger album top to bottom but Synchronicity has some of my favorite songs on it -- nm - Remlik Dec 5, 12:17 4
      - Flip that and reverse it. - Spawn Dec 5, 12:19 3
        
        I'm with Spawnwich. Album wise, Synchronicity is almost perfect. But "Russians" might be my favorite song off the two. -- nm - crash davis Dec 5, 12:37 2
        
        I don't subscribe to your point of view. -- nm - Reagen Dec 5, 12:39 1
        
        We will bury you. -- (edited) - crash davis Dec 5, 12:45

  - And my point is that wedding cakes are crap and everyone should be buying wedding pies instead. -- nm - Ender Dec 5, 12:13 14
    - So rarely do I get to say this. Ender is right :) - crash davis Dec 5, 12:40 1
      - eh. there are some really good wedding cakes out there, the key, I think, is fondant avoidance. -- nm - b. Dec 5, 13:09
    - Carvel ice cream cake! -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 12:27
    - ... for me to poop on. - Spawndroid Dec 5, 12:24 3
      - And pie is MORE like pizza. They don't call it a "pizza cake", do they? -- nm - Ender Dec 5, 12:28 2
        
        it depends. nm but: -- (link) - b. Dec 5, 13:10 [Image]

      - The Rock likes pie. -- nm - Shaun Dec 5, 12:15
- On this I can agree with him. -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 12:00
Just saw the Woken Matt Hardy thing -- yeah...I think is below 0% chance Vince understands the gimmick. - Will Hunting, Deposed King of Astronauts Dec 5, 11:58 1
- When it started, it rapidly went from “oh god Matt and Jeff are feuding again, TNA is a joke” to arguably the best thing in wrestling last year. -- nm - Tim Dec 5, 12:07
fuck this guy: Pastor Goes On Anti-Santa Rant In Front Of Room Full Of Children–Becomes Internet Villain -- (link) - Remlik Dec 5, 11:54 2

  - no, because then someone might see it! -- nm - colin Dec 5, 12:01 1
    - Good point. Put it in cement and drop it in the ocean. -- nm* - Krusty Dec 5, 12:04

- There are also 0 episodes available to watch on USA's website or on any streaming service. You cannot watch a single episode of this show without buying it. -- nm - Ender Dec 5, 11:56 6
  - Check to see if you get the Ion Network, it plays all the time on there. -- nm - IrishStephen Dec 5, 12:27 1
    - Yup. 1am here. -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 12:28
  - the article says it is on Netflix I thought... -- nm - Beaker Dec 5, 12:08 2
    - Nope. They lost it a few months ago. -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 12:09 1
      - ahh, I was just going to post that it might have been an older article. Happily I own all the seasons anyway :) -- nm - Beaker Dec 5, 12:10
  - Yup and it's taking up a lot of room on my DVR. That they're not doing a marathon leading up to the movie is a failure. -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 12:02
- I have yet to be convinced that Chrisley Knows Best isn't an elaborate hoax. - Will Hunting, Deposed King of Astronauts Dec 5, 11:55 3
  - It is the Morton Downey Jr of reality shows. - Spawn Dec 5, 11:58
