God, I love blind items. - David Dec 10, 07:16 30
- Could it be someone related to Monty Python? -- nm - HdnAgnda Dec 10, 07:33 3
  - "double act" would seem to indicate otherwise. - znufrii Dec 10, 07:37
  - well, they did specific "double act", which would suggest it's not Python. -- nm - loosilu Dec 10, 07:36
  - oooh, good one! -- nm - Beaker Dec 10, 07:36
- Dudley Moore and Tanya Roberts. -- nm - pmb Dec 10, 07:30 4

      - Does the term sitcom imply TV? -- nm - Fuzzy Dec 10, 07:35 1
        
        Yes, it does. Cook worked on "The Two of Us" in the right timeframe. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 10, 07:50
- I would guess Clemment or La Frenais. -- nm - LMS Dec 10, 07:26 2
  - what have they done that we would know? -- nm - Remlik Dec 10, 07:30 1
    - Most recently they wrote The Bank Job, Across the Universe, Porridge was my favoutie sitcom of theirs from the 70's. - LMS Dec 10, 07:36
- No matter how many times I read "he didn't want to drop her in it so spent the night in the cells on him," I still can't figure out what it means. -- nm - mara Dec 10, 07:21 7
  - Yeah, I almost commented on how poorly worded it is. -- nm - David Dec 10, 07:23 4
    - I wonder if "on him" is kind of related to saying "dinner's on me." Never heard it used that way. -- nm - mara Dec 10, 07:24 3
      - maybe it's a britishism. -- nm - loosilu Dec 10, 07:26 2
        
        Not that I'm aware off - 'on his own' is the closest I could imagine. -- nm - LMS Dec 10, 07:28 1
        
        phew, I thought I had just forgotten. :) -- nm - loosilu Dec 10, 07:36

        especially if you've Payback... -- nm - Beaker Dec 10, 07:33

- heh, I have them and GB's D on my team currently, most prediction sites are ranking them both in the top 5 for the week... -- nm - Beaker Dec 10, 07:15 1
  - I have a semi conflict of interest going. I have Megatron and the Baltimore D starting for me. -- nm - Shaun Dec 10, 07:18
So I know some people going to the Avatar premiere tonight (not many in the office excited about it though). -- nm - LMS Dec 10, 06:56 2

  - I totally want to see it asap. -- nm - Shaun Dec 10, 07:02

Does life get better after college? Even if the job thing is null right now? -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 10, 06:39 42
- only gotten better for me. but I still occasionally consider going back. -- nm - mafic Dec 10, 07:33
- No. It peaks in grad school. -- nm - ceregon Dec 10, 07:15
- no -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 10, 07:08
- I agree with ST. I miss some people from college and some of the carefreeness but would never trade it for how great life is now - SyrDragon Dec 10, 07:05
- Three words: no more homework. -- nm - mara Dec 10, 07:00 6
  - except for the job reports or projects you have to do. -- nm - Remlik Dec 10, 07:26 3
    - Totally different from homework, even when I bring them home. -- nm - loosilu Dec 10, 07:38
    - By carefully managing my career and never getting promoted, I have almost never had to do any work from home. -- nm - mara Dec 10, 07:29
    - That's work work. I don't bring that home and I get paid for it -- nm - oblique Dec 10, 07:28
  - This -- nm - SyrDragon Dec 10, 07:06
  - hear hear!!! -- nm - loosilu Dec 10, 07:03
- University for me=hard hard work,no real money,no bills,lived at home. Life now=less work,money for stuff,bills,house,car,wife,dog=better imo. -- nm - Shaun Dec 10, 06:59
- It gets better for some people, worse for other people, and stays the same for the rest. -- nm - loosilu Dec 10, 06:53
- it becomes what you make of it. -- nm - znufrii Dec 10, 06:52
- Time moves one hell of a lot faster is what I found. You start getting into a routine of the workday, workweek etc and the years fly. -- nm - HdnAgnda Dec 10, 06:46
- Really? Do you really think there's one clear cut answer to this? -- nm - Jim Dec 10, 06:45 8
  - More like I wanted to hear how people look back on college -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 10, 06:48 7
    - College was marked by two things: how much fun it was, and how embarrassingly immature I was. -- nm - nubby Dec 10, 07:06 1
      - totally agree. -- nm - amanda Dec 10, 07:13
    - I wish I knew then what I know now. Woulda been a helluva lot more entertaining. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 10, 07:02
    - I loved it, but the years after were even more fun. -- nm - loosilu Dec 10, 06:51
    - Then ask that. -- nm - Jim Dec 10, 06:49 2
      - where's the drama in that question? -- nm - zork Dec 10, 06:53 1
        
        silly me... -- nm - Jim Dec 10, 06:55
- The job thing being null makes it better. Once you got that, it sucks. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 10, 06:43 3
  - as a many-times-laid-off person, I disagree vehemently. Plus, I really liked most of my jobs. -- nm - loosilu Dec 10, 06:51
  - The reality of "bills" alone is a kick in the agates that can take years and years to recover from. -- nm - TFox Dec 10, 06:44 1
    - Learning to live within your means: priceless. -- nm - mara Dec 10, 07:01
- Depends on the person, some people peak in college, or even high school -- nm - Ender Dec 10, 06:42
- No. College is the perfect balance of freedom and lack of responsibility. -- nm - Dano Dec 10, 06:41 9
  - Absolutely. And those are exactly the words I use when I describe it too. -- nm - pmb Dec 10, 07:31
  - I agree with this. -- nm - Beaker Dec 10, 07:16
  - That's kind of the image I got... -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 10, 06:45
  - That being said, my life is infinitely better than it was in college -- nm - oblique Dec 10, 06:41 5
    - Mine too. I would never go back to college, even though I loved it. -- nm - loosilu Dec 10, 06:50
    - [deleted] 3
      - College wouldn't even be as easy as it was if you knew what you learn once you get out. - TFox Dec 10, 06:43 2
        
        My college experience was so different from this. It truly prepared me for hard grueling hours and work. And sometimes with only minimal payoff. - Diva Dec 10, 06:52 1
        
        same here. -- nm - loosilu Dec 10, 06:53
- It doesn't get better or worse. It evolves. Be ready for that. -- nm - Diva Dec 10, 06:40 1
  - and *fast*. be ready for that too. -- nm - TFox Dec 10, 06:41

Glee - I know they are all fairly new actors but the actor who played Finn really dropped the ball last night - Epiphany Dec 10, 06:35 10
- I also think he's the most unbelievable singer. His studio singing doesn't sound anything like how someone on stage would sing. -- nm - Ender Dec 10, 06:40 7
  - they put a lot of studio seasoning on his vocals. -- nm - Diva Dec 10, 06:41 6
    - Carrie and I were talking about this the other day. He's not a good singer...but for some reason, he sounds good with Rachel. - Jim Dec 10, 06:44 3
      - I'll disagree with that on (at least) one song. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 10, 06:56
      - Probably. I get the feeling she could sing with anyone and they'd both end up sounding good. - Diva Dec 10, 06:49 1
        
        Possibly, but if you've ever seen a show where the leads couldn't sing together, it's horrible. - Jim Dec 10, 06:54
    - like Mrs. Dash? -- nm - oblique Dec 10, 06:42 1
      - More like Lawrys. -- nm - Diva Dec 10, 06:47
- I hate the fact that they ended without (spoilers) - oblique Dec 10, 06:38
- Spoiler question - Jim Dec 10, 06:37
Top 10 Christmas songs, full list, with link that includes embedded mp3s to listen to. (spoils) - Jim Dec 10, 06:34 9
- Not on the list, but just because it suddenly occurred to me: I love the guitar intro to "Jingle Bell Rock." -- nm - mara Dec 10, 07:23
- that list sucks. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 06:38 3
  - word. no Snoopy's Christmas equals instant fail. -- nm - Beaker Dec 10, 07:18
  - Only if you hate the Baby Jesus. -- nm - Jim Dec 10, 06:44 1
    - maybe if you are like 80, that list would rock. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 07:19
- No Rudolph? -- nm - amoxy Dec 10, 06:37 1
  - ugh -- nm - zork Dec 10, 06:52
- Solid list. -- nm - Shaun Dec 10, 06:36 1
  - I thought so too. -- nm - Jim Dec 10, 06:37

Free album of holiday songs on iTunes -- (link) - oblique Dec 10, 06:32
"We do not have to think that human nature is perfect for us to still believe that the human condition can be perfected." -- nm - znufrii Dec 10, 06:31 19
- trying to blend 'perfect' and 'human' in the same sentence always leads to trouble. -- nm - TFox Dec 10, 06:39 7
  - indeed - znufrii Dec 10, 06:40 6
    - he didn't say 'striving'. he said 'believe it can be perfected'. which is dumb. -- nm - TFox Dec 10, 06:41 5
      - to me, it's saying pretty much the same thing. - znufrii Dec 10, 06:47 4
        
        Possibly, but for a man who is the master of choosing just the right words...he screwed the pooch a little on this one. -- nm - Jim Dec 10, 06:56 1
        
        It wasn't a perfect speech by any means. - znufrii Dec 10, 07:01
        
        He's a humanist! Burn him! Burn the humanist! -- nm - mara Dec 10, 06:56
        
        *tilts head, peers curiously* -- nm - TFox Dec 10, 06:48
- [deleted] 1
  - yeah, that part seemed more excuse-making. I was much more impressed by the second half of his speech. -- nm - znufrii Dec 10, 06:38
- [deleted] 8
  - Then what's the purpose of anything, if we are not able to strive for anything greater than ourselves? -- nm - znufrii Dec 10, 06:39 6
    - [deleted] 3
      - I wholly disagree. - znufrii Dec 10, 06:44 2
