    - "sounds least like I peed into a didgeridoo and anally stimulated some goats" would work too. -- nm - TFox Jun 3, 13:10
- One can be talented and still produce absolute shite. - Reagen Jun 3, 13:07 14
  - Sigur Ros is what I like to call "trailer music" songs that sounds like they belong in movie trailers - Guy Jun 3, 13:11 10
    - well, technically not "songs" since no one sings any words because no language invented was important enough for their music. - TFox Jun 3, 13:14 3
      - EFF YOU! -- nm - Classical music, film composers, Brian Eno, etc. Jun 3, 13:17

- last week. when i telecommute, my "background" watching consists of Today Show through 11 am, then quickly switch it before grinding my teeth at Ellen - kare Jun 3, 13:07 4
  - Oh, is Ellen annoying? that seemed like the only thing that might be amusing (i've never seen it.) -- nm - Andie Jun 3, 13:07 3
    - Ellen is not so bad (to me). A million times better than Dr. Phil or Oprah. -- nm - loosiflu Jun 3, 13:13
    - I don't mind ellen, but then, I don't watch a lot of daytime TV -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 13:08

LYC: My work (read: the Army base) has totally freaked out over my flu. Different people keep calling me to ask for "confirmation" of H1N1. I keep - loosiflu Jun 3, 12:45 13
- why won't the CDC test you? -- nm - kare Jun 3, 13:03 3
  - because under their current guidelines, they only test special cases (basically, people who are hospitalized). -- nm - loosiflu Jun 3, 13:04 2
    - wasn't your onset like two weeks ago? That'd be a resiliant flu bug for them to be worried about. -- nm - Reagen Jun 3, 13:07 1

  - It's not a swineflu! -- nm - Redmond Schwarzenegger Jun 3, 12:48 2
    - I've been begging them to test me for a week. This is such bullshit. They can't tell me to get treatment at my own doctor, then bitch about the tests. -- nm - loosiflu Jun 3, 12:51 1
      - ...especially when my doctor can't even insist on the test, apparently. it's up to the health department. -- nm - loosiflu Jun 3, 13:05
