I rewatched Glee last night. At least half that show is a blatant ripoff/homage to 'Election'. - Dr.McVermin May 21, 10:22 14
- *listens to Don't Stop Believin' another 137 times* nm - Dano si #7 May 21, 10:33
- This intrigues me, actually -- nm - con_carne May 21, 10:25 6
  - It's really more similar to High School Musical than anything else. -- nm - Inigo May 21, 10:25 5
    - In plot, yes on the very basic level. In tone, not even close. -- nm - Dano May 21, 10:37 2
      - The Election comparison is much closer in tone. So High School Musical meets Election would be a good description. -- nm - Dano May 21, 10:38 1
        
        I would agree with this. It's only HSM on the very surface. -- nm - Callisto May 21, 10:43

- from B2, Casey Carlson is ineligble to return. She made the top 36. She's done. nm - Jovian May 21, 10:07
STRWR was 10 years ago? Yikes. -- nm - nubby May 21, 10:05
My favorite routine from last year's SYTYCD. -- (link) - Dano May 21, 10:04 [youtube] 4
- bollywood? -- nm - zork May 21, 10:51 1
  - That was good too, so was the one Subby linked below, and the pas de deux, and many others. -- nm - Dano May 21, 10:53
- Mine. -- (link) - Subversive May 21, 10:31 [youtube]
- Though I hope they hired a different director. I know not to expect a static shot for the dances, but I've been annoyed at how they've been presented. -- nm - Dano May 21, 10:07
Just a small-town girl. Livin' in a lonely world. -- nm - nubby May 21, 10:03 3
- It's a good song, but I can't stand Journey. I take it the Glee version is way different? -- nm - con_carne May 21, 10:14 1
  - Not really. Group sings some of the "music". Guy and girl share lead. - Jim May 21, 10:41
- *giggle* we made SM sing this last night in our celebratory Rock Band Session - he murdered it - Epiphany May 21, 10:13
Three hours into Punch Out and it's a lot harder than I was lead to believe. - Inigo May 21, 10:03 7
- I was wondering why I hadn't heard anything on Punch-Out yet. -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 10:24
- It seems like this is really just a rental. -- nm - Reagen May 21, 10:10 1
  - I think it all depends on how challenging the title defense mode is. -- nm - Inigo May 21, 10:13
- That's why I love Contra 4 on DS. So similar to Contra, but different enough to relearn, and so much harder. -- nm - TFox May 21, 10:09
- I always loved to beat on Soda Popinski. He never gave me a problem. -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 10:04 2
  - The timing is different this time around. Luckily, there's a practice mode. -- nm - Inigo May 21, 10:08
  - It's a little different when you have to wiimote it. -- nm - David May 21, 10:06
is iTunes store ever going to let you listen to all the samples on an album without clicking on every damn track - Guy May 21, 10:02 1
- Hi, I'm a Mac. You'll deal with every little stupid cock block we throw at you because you want to look cool. -- nm - Dano May 21, 10:03
I went to shut down my gunpowder research and then saw the "buy" button. OMG. - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 10:01 14

  - you need a BLOWER :) - Danedukenuuk May 21, 10:40
  - Why, from his past comments, he doesn't farm commodities - Will Hunting May 21, 10:05 11
    - Negative 5000 gold/hour cashflow on dot-org, and I've got 1 million in the bank. I want people to fear me. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 10:07 9
      - but you can't even do anything with that military, because you'll bleed out before they even get there. -- nm - Reagen May 21, 10:11 8
        
        Are you kidding? I've had troops camping out in 3 of Crash's cities for a week. - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 10:23 2
        
        Why, for Jeebus's sake? -- nm - Reagen May 21, 10:24 1
        
        He's under threat of attack. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 10:47
        
        This is why I am amused by people with huge military scores... - Mel Profit May 21, 10:14 4
        
        Although I had this problem early on... - Mel Profit May 21, 10:27
        
        Speaking of which, I just posted something on the ImpL board tangentially related to that. (nm) - musubi May 21, 10:23 2
        
        answered. - Mel Profit May 21, 10:41 1
        
        Make him wait/sweat - Will Hunting May 21, 10:50
    - Mop Jong-Il. -- nm - Reagen May 21, 10:05
[deleted] 5
- I'd respect him a lot more if he just said, I signed a deal becuase I wanted to stay here and that's what I intend on doing. - Will Hunting May 21, 10:15
- Refusing a trade to stay in the "easier" league (ERA-wise) is the antithesis of the Awesomeness Principle. -- nm - TFox May 21, 10:10
- He's a stupid, arrogant kid. -- nm - David May 21, 09:59 1
  - Little bit crazy too, from what I hear. (nm) - musubi May 21, 10:00
- maybe he likes the beach -- nm - Guy May 21, 09:57
For Dano. -- (link) - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:57 [youtube] 2
- The 53 listens doesn't include the times I watched the episode, or watched that part of the episode. - Dano May 21, 10:00 1
  - I may be 2nd only to you in loving this show, but the chasm between us dwarfs the Grand Canyon. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 10:08
Braves beat writer encapsulates the Jeff Francoeur adventure. - David May 21, 09:54 9
- Thank God the Braves aren't trying to contend this year so they can try to let him figure his way out of this. - Will Hunting May 21, 10:11 5
  - Shut your mouth. They have to be patient and let him go out there everyday and work it out. (nm) - musubi May 21, 10:12 4
    - I almost wrote, "Does Bobby Cox even care any more?" -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 10:13 3
      - The worst part is that we looked at Raul Ibanez and decided to sign Kawakami instead. -- nm - David May 21, 10:32 2
        
        I *loved* the Ibanez deal, but not close to this degree. - Will Hunting May 21, 10:42 1
        
        He's like a poor man's Edgar Martinez. -- nm - David May 21, 10:56
- He's just 25. C'mon Braves, just give him 3 or 4 more years to work the kinks out. (nm) - musubi May 21, 09:59
- (David's added fact: he's already left 87 runners on base in 39 games this year.) -- nm - David May 21, 09:54 1
  - Ahhhh, that was a good week man. A good week. -- nm - David Ortiz May 21, 10:43
MDH, Chicago hostel I mentioned the other day -- (link) - ty97 May 21, 09:53
Without spoiling, re: American Idol (imagine it's Tuesday): Adam can be successful without a win. Chris needs a win. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:53 7
- I think it's been proven that the post-Idol success of a contestant has little to do with whether they win. -- nm - con_carne May 21, 09:55 6
  - The two most successful were winners. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 09:56 5
    - i really don't know if i'd say that's true. i think Hudson and Aiken were as successful as Clarkson and Underwood. -- nm - Andie May 21, 10:00 2
      - Not even close. -- nm - Ender May 21, 10:34
      - Hudson potentially with the Oscar (but only that)...Aiken is a ways back. - Will Hunting May 21, 10:18
    - The flipside of the coin reminds us of Taylor and Ruben. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:57 1
      - I think it also helps that the two winners were Top 40 crossovers. Taylor is blues(y) and Ruben R&B. - JaxSean May 21, 10:00
And sometimes, I think she's truly crazy...and I love it. -- nm - David May 21, 09:52
