It was fun to think in the 80s that our attention spans were so short we all had a new favorite song every 2-3 weeks. Then SoundScan happened. -- nm - Tim Jul 29, 13:01

    - also, not the point, but those cookies look a bit... deflated. -- nm - Andie Jul 29, 12:50 2
      - agreed -- nm - Pippy, willy nilly penchant Jul 29, 12:53
      - Yeah, they don't look great, kinda.... - ty97 Jul 29, 12:51
I just realized Lewis Black is still alive. Have not seen one of his shows in maybe a decade. - Spawn Jul 29, 12:38 1

- Eh. I mean seriously - how many of everything do you need?? -- nm - John Murphy Jul 29, 12:21 3
  - I trade a lot, that's one of the biggest issues. Also, space for shinies, space for extra shinies and extra legendaries (can only trade one a day) - ty97 Jul 29, 12:24 1
    - (note that I don't keep a living dex) -- nm* - ty97 Jul 29, 12:25
  - MOAR! -- nm - Mop Jul 29, 12:21

Welp. 75! My throwback KNAC Spotify playlist has surpassed 75 followers and I celebrate by adding this anachronism from 1989. Cheers! -- (link) - con_carne Jul 29, 11:50 [youtube]
I'm not super sensitive to these things usually, but across 84 episodes of comedians in cars, there are only 15 chicks. -- nm - amanda Jul 29, 11:46 50
- Rita Rudner is pretty much in Vegas now. -- nm - Remlik Jul 29, 12:50 3
  - I'm so glad she's found lasting success. Twentysomething me used to find her really attractive because of the voice -- nm - con_carne Jul 29, 12:57 2
    - god yes. -- nm - Remlik Jul 29, 13:12 1
      - Thinking about it, it was really ASMR -- nm - con_carne Jul 29, 13:14
- And one was the horribly annoying woman that I'm pretty sure most of us had never heard of before that episode. I turned it off, I couldn't get - Krusty Jul 29, 12:34 2
  - Miranda Sings. Yeah, that episode was... different. :) -- nm - con_carne Jul 29, 12:35 1
    - That never should have made it to air. It was so bad. -- nm* - Krusty Jul 29, 12:39
- Not saying it factors into this at all but one thing to keep in mind is that a fair number of comedians have great stand-up but in interviews are not - Spawn Jul 29, 12:19
- Not trying to start something, but I've always found female comedians funnier than male ones. Some thoughts inside for perusal: - MDH Jul 29, 12:01 26
  - The Dane Cook era was a dark one for comedy, to be sure. -- nm - Reagen Jul 29, 12:33 12
    - He was terrible but there were a lot of great comics at that time plus Carlin was still alive and working. -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 12:36 11
      - Hell, I really like Foxworthy and Engvall. - Will Hunting Jul 29, 12:37 10
        
        Foxworthy is underrated but forever tied to the You Might Be A Redneck schtick. -- nm - Tim Jul 29, 12:43 1
        
        Yeah, Engvall did a show where he told us to start, there'd be no "Here's your sign" jokes till the very end. - Will Hunting Jul 29, 12:45
        
        Hell, Ron White could be hilarious depending on the subject at hand. -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 12:39 6
        
        I've seen a special of his and liked it, and then heard he's basically doing the same routine for years...that hurts -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 12:43 2
        
        yeah he's on air here in town a lot and it's same shit. -- nm - Remlik Jul 29, 12:46
        
        He’s basically got the one classic set that he’s been doing for years. -- nm - Tim Jul 29, 12:46
        
        Yup. He got rich off that potato salad joke -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 12:40 2
        
        I think we can all agree that Larry the Cable Guy is the "K" in that FMK of that comedy group. -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 12:41 1
        
        Ha! No doubt -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 12:42
        
        I don't care for their comedy but I understand the appeal. -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 12:38
  - I watch a lot of standup and for the most part women are just starting to really make more of an impact in the genre. Men have dominated for so - Krusty Jul 29, 12:32 4
    - Ever heard of Maria Bamford? Prolly my fave female comic -- nm - con_carne Jul 29, 12:34 3
      - Of course. She's great! - Krusty Jul 29, 12:37
      - She's solid. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 12:35
      - She is on my top 5 comedian list. -- nm* - Spawn Jul 29, 12:35
  - Lampanelli might be the most unfunny human being I've ever seen. Like, no insight on life; her shtick wasn't fun. - Will Hunting Jul 29, 12:07 2
    - word -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 12:12
    - Her comedy downfall was pretty historic. She now hosts "empowering women's retreats" - MDH Jul 29, 12:09
  - See, I find the opposite. I see your comedians (one of which I have seen live) and give you Jon Stewart, Aziz and back-in-the day Dennis Miller. -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 12:04 4
    - Somewhat related, when I was teen/college all CC played was Cook and Blue Collar Comedy Tour - yeah not so much my thing. -- nm - MDH Jul 29, 12:06
    - Don't think I've knew Stewart did standup (will check this out), Aziz can be GREAT (hit or miss sometimes), Miller I can't stand. -- nm - MDH Jul 29, 12:06 2
      - Miller now is awful. But as I said, back-in-the day he was a deity. One thing Jon talked about that sticks with me. - Spawn Jul 29, 12:16 1
        
        Lol -- nm - con_carne Jul 29, 12:17
- Women can be totally funny. -- nm - Eric Cartman Jul 29, 11:56
- Speaking of female comedians, if you haven't already checked out some of Katherine Ryan's stuff, you should do it. -- nm - Shaun Jul 29, 11:55 1
  - I didn't like her newest special as much. I like Eliza Shlesinger a lot though. -- nm - sycor Jul 29, 12:47
- that's a damn good point. damn good. -- nm - Remlik Jul 29, 11:51
- It's getting harder and harder to explain shit away. nm - John Murphy Jul 29, 11:48
- Kinds surprised it's that many. (This should be a poll) -- nm - Roger More Jul 29, 11:48 6
  - Sarah Silverman, Joan Rivers? (not sure when it started), Aisha Tyler, Amy Schumer, Margaret Cho, Ali Wong, Ellen, Bridget Everett -- nm - MDH Jul 29, 12:03 5
    - Silverman was the first female guest on the show. Rivers was asked to be the fifth season's first guest, but demurred because of a medical procedure - Roger More Jul 29, 12:16 3
      - Schumer is a yes, btw -- nm - con_carne Jul 29, 12:18 2
        
        I saw him pick her up for the show. She used to live across the street from a building where I have multiple clients. -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 12:59
        
        My mistake, I must have typod in the 'find' box -- nm - Roger More Jul 29, 12:20
    - FTR, at least five of these have been on the show. Everett just this season. -- nm - con_carne Jul 29, 12:09
- maybe he couldn't find any girls who like coffee -- nm - decline Jul 29, 11:48 2
  - Or cars! -- nm - Shaun Jul 29, 11:54 1
    - Or Jerry! -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 11:59
Jeebus:At least 52 inmates are dead, including 16 who were decapitated, in a prison riot that broke out Monday in the northern Brazilian state of Para -- (link) - decline Jul 29, 11:16 2
- Jeez. And it's not even the largest such occurrence this year, alas. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 29, 11:19 1
  - Really helps with the prison overcrowding. -- nm - POTUS Jul 29, 11:20
some asshat in one of my units booked a hotel through hotels.com rather than a conference website "because I could get points." - amanda Jul 29, 11:13 10
- blame the supervisor who approves his expense claims. At my work he'd get a vist from internal audit -- nm - Beaker Jul 29, 11:52 1
  - does internal audit dress all in black -- nm - decline Jul 29, 11:53
- Then he can pay the difference. -- nm* - Mop Jul 29, 11:34
- Soooo...he gets his points AND he gets to pay for the room. Problem solved. Wheeeee! -- nm - John Murphy Jul 29, 11:24 5
  - He should at least have to pay the difference. -- nm - sycor Jul 29, 11:47 4
    - Ayup -- nm - John Murphy Jul 29, 11:48
    - + inconvenience fee - Spawn Jul 29, 11:48 2
      - + buy mandy some cupcakes for having to deal with his crap -- nm - decline Jul 29, 11:50 1

- Heh. Sounds like the IT there is quite the adventure -- nm - budice Jul 29, 11:18
UV ends in 2 days. -- nm - Mop Jul 29, 11:05 5
- Is there anything we should be "double checking?" - JaxSean Jul 29, 11:19 3
  - If you're already connected to Vudu, you're good and you should touch nothing. -- nm - Mop Jul 29, 11:26 2
    - Well... you should touch SOME things... You're going to have problems if you hover in a vacuum for the next two days. -- nm - Ender Jul 29, 11:59 1
      - OK, this made me chuckle. -- nm - Mop Jul 29, 12:20
- And I feel fine. -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 11:07
poll: have you seen waterworld? I have not. sub poll: what is kevin costner's signature role? - amanda Jul 29, 11:01 21
- Yes, I'd say Crash Davis is his signature role -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 12:09
- Tin Cup. -- nm - Remlik Jul 29, 11:40 1
  - If Tin Cup had been *first* then yes, Roy would be it. Still nearly said it. -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 12:59
- Bits. For me it's No Way Out, honourable mention to A Perfect World being his least signature role. -- nm - LMS Jul 29, 11:39
- Yes. Dances w/Wolves -- nm - Mop Jul 29, 11:35
- my favorite role of his by far is Mr. Brooks -- nm - decline Jul 29, 11:35
- Yes. I've also seen The Postman. Costner's signature role is Costner being Costner. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 29, 11:32
- Never seen it or FoD either -- nm - con_carne Jul 29, 11:20 1
  - Signature? -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 11:21
- Yes. Crash Davis -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 11:08 4
  - yes -- nm - mud Jul 29, 11:55
  - Ditto -- nm - budice Jul 29, 11:16 2
    - Oddly enough, crash davis says Water World is his answer. -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 11:17 1
      - Prolly Taking one for the team with SO. -- nm* - budice Jul 29, 11:18
- Yes. Kind of liked it. Yes, Field of Dreams. -- nm - zunk xometimes Jul 29, 11:06

“Old Town Road” is now the longest running No. 1 hit in Billboard history, at 17 weeks -- (link) - decline Jul 29, 11:01 12
- Relevant -- (link) - Roger More Jul 29, 11:47
- Billboard charts are worthless. -- nm - Qale Jul 29, 11:42
- The 7th seal has been broken. -- nm - Mop Jul 29, 11:28
- i just now put my earbuds in to see if i had heard it before. Nope. -- nm - Andie Jul 29, 11:05 7
  - also - SERIOUSLY? this is the longest #1 ever? -- nm - Andie Jul 29, 11:06 6
    - With streaming factored in, the list of longest-running number 1s has some recency biased, but novelty songs have always been there. - ty97 Jul 29, 11:23 5
      - it's just not a good song. -- nm - Andie Jul 29, 11:58
      - Of 38 songs with 10 weeks or longer at #1, 25 are post-2000. 13 are post-2010. So 1/3 are from this decade. -- nm - ty97 Jul 29, 11:24 3
        
        bonus stat: only 2 of the 38 songs are pre-1990 -- nm* - ty97 Jul 29, 11:26 2
        
        I could have sworn the record pre-End of the Road (1992) was only 9 weeks since that broke Elvis' record. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 12:10
        
        bonus bonus stat: Drake is on their 3 times. Boyz II Men 3 times (once with Mariah). Mariah twice (once with B2M), Santana twice. -- nm - ty97 Jul 29, 11:32
- word to your IM. -- nm - amanda Jul 29, 11:02

- [deleted] 3
  - She is really good at this, isn’t she? -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Jul 29, 11:15 2
    - she is....but she needs work on the presentation. She's lacking there just a bit. But man it's been fun to watch her bounce back.. - Remlik Jul 29, 11:32
    - she is good at this. sadly, what she needs to be good at is politicking in the post Trump era. - John Murphy Jul 29, 11:25
Slip n' slide, push it in. - David Jul 29, 10:50 2
