This is my friend Elf (Courtney) illustration website. She recently graduated with a degree. She also does the cover art for my novels. -- (link) - Qale Jan 12, 20:48
Conan crushing NBC tonight -- nm - Jovian Jan 12, 20:42 14
- Much like he crushed NBC today -- nm - Mop Jan 12, 20:44 13
  - I wonder if NBC has the fortitude to pull him off the air more sooner than expected -- nm - eag Jan 12, 20:45 12
    - and replace him with whom? (nm) - howie Jan 12, 20:47 6
      - I would suspect reruns for the time being -- nm - eag Jan 12, 20:48 1
        
        Joan Rivers. Chevy Chase. Arsenio Hall. -- nm - Mop Jan 12, 20:50
      - Pixie -- nm - Redmond Jan 12, 20:48 3
        
        And you can be his Andy Richter -- nm - eag Jan 12, 20:50
        
        Trying to go Neilson negative ratings points I see? -- nm - Qale Jan 12, 20:49 1
        
        There are two kinds of shows people like to watch. Quality programing and train wrecks. It would be ratings gold -- nm - Redmond Jan 12, 20:50
    - Oh hell no. Letterman used to do the same thing. -- nm - Redmond Jan 12, 20:45 1
      - As I said below Jay and Conan should both leave - eag Jan 12, 20:47
    - NBC's new slogan: We can go lower! -- nm - Mop Jan 12, 20:45 2
      - NBC's new slogan: Hey, want to buy some latenight paid programming slots? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 20:47 1
        
        Comcast finally found a company more screwed up than they are. -- nm - Mop Jan 12, 20:50
It seems that Netflix streaming to a std def tv forces widescreen movies to 4:3, so everyone looks thin. - TFox Jan 12, 20:40 1
- Yes, but I don't see what that has to do with the problem you're having. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 12, 20:41
Craig Kilborn hosted the Daily Show? - ty97 Jan 12, 20:30 7
- I still miss the 5 question segment...(nm) - amoxy Jan 12, 20:39
- and SportsCenter! -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 12, 20:38 1
  - I remember him on SportsCenter. -- nm - ty97 Jan 12, 20:38
- It was a very different show back then. -- nm - Qale Jan 12, 20:32
- did an awesome job too. -- nm - TFox Jan 12, 20:31 2
  - yep. I bet he wishes he didn't make that move. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 20:36 1
    - I don't think the move from TDS is the one he wishes he hadn't made. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 12, 20:57
Yeah, so students have blocked the building and attempted to prevent Kiffin from leaving without speaking to them. - David Jan 12, 20:30 6
- Really? Were they dick filled? -- nm - Dano Jan 12, 20:39
- that's not good -- nm - ty97 Jan 12, 20:37
- That'll make him to want to stay. (nm) - musubi Jan 12, 20:34 3
  - Well you know USC students would never do that - eag Jan 12, 20:42 1
    - Hahaha. Recreational drug use by college students? Oh my god, that's so brutal a barb. (nm) - musubi Jan 12, 20:51
  - Oh, the Rubicon has been crossed. This is another pound of flesh scenario. -- nm - David Jan 12, 20:40
O'Brien should just remember Craig Kilborn (who?) -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 12, 20:26 1
- Again, I disagree. I rather liked him on both Daily Show and the Late Late show. If his ego-filled show had a better hook he'd be Colbert. -- nm - Qale Jan 12, 20:28
If you need to fill out your Bottom 10 list, Post Grad is out on DVD. -- nm - Dano Jan 12, 20:22 1
- Aww, poor Rory! -- nm - Mop Jan 12, 20:27
SXSW has annouced ~400 more acts, list inside - ty97 Jan 12, 20:19 3
- That's a crazy list. -- nm - Mop Jan 12, 20:30 1
  - in what way? -- nm - ty97 Jan 12, 20:32
- J. Period is an awesome mixtape dj, did great projects with k'naan and Q-Tip. The xx got great reviews this year. -- nm - TFox Jan 12, 20:27
Would it be fair to say that O'Brien is an ingrateful bastard cause NBC plucked him out of near total obscurity and placed him on Letterman's pedestal - zeitgeist Jan 12, 20:19 14
- No -- nm - amoxy Jan 12, 20:42
- Jay and Cona should both leave then NBC would be stuck with Jimmy Fallon -- nm - eag Jan 12, 20:32
- No, it would not be fair. -- nm - kelly Jan 12, 20:25
- Giving him the Letterman spot was a gamble that paid off. Conan earned respect (and the Tonight Show). He's totally entitled. -- nm - Mop Jan 12, 20:25 1
  - but not in the same sense that Leno *feels* entitled. heh. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 20:29
- it would not be fair -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 12, 20:23
- No -- nm - Redmond Jan 12, 20:23
- That sounds like a coherent statement. - TFox Jan 12, 20:22 2
  - from an incoherent rant infested semi drunken airhead? -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 12, 20:27 1
    - hey, you know him best. i'll trsut your characterization. -- nm - TFox Jan 12, 20:30
- No. He worked hard, earned his chops, played by their rules. It would not be fair to say that at all. -- nm - Qale Jan 12, 20:21 1
  - I agree with Qale. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 12, 20:24
- No. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 20:21
- Uh, no, I'd say that NBC is the ungrateful bastard in this whole thing. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 20:21
This is what happens when you leave a woman and an old man in charge of the dvr... - Stephen Jan 12, 20:18 2
- *DVRs Antique Roadshow Marathon* -- nm - Old People Jan 12, 20:23 1
  - For my dad it would more likely be "DVRs entire FOX News lineup" -- nm - Stephen Jan 12, 20:26
For those who are interested, here are the dates for the Post Secret college tour. - ReluctantCynic Jan 12, 20:17
How many more seasons after Simon leaves before Idol is done? I say they might make 2 -- nm - Redmond Jan 12, 20:07 3
- if fox is smart they just end it after this one and put everything behind x factor -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 12, 20:09 2
  - Simon IS the show. I 100% agree -- nm - Redmond Jan 12, 20:10
  - I agree. It's already long in the tooth. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 20:10
Oh! Speaking of coming out, I forgot to mention that kare converted me this weekend. - ReluctantCynic Jan 12, 20:06 32
- whoa! cuz... i mean... i post meat recipes on there! - kare Jan 12, 20:35 1
  - I really want to try those apple waffles - /reminds self to put whole wheat flour on the shopping list. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 12, 20:39
- Well... - Qale Jan 12, 20:24
- This just means I will have to eat twice as much meat for the next 45 days. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 20:23
- I'm eating a lot less meat these days. I still have it at almost every meal, but much smaller servings... - MojaveMeg Jan 12, 20:21
- A distant cousin/niece (I don't know) had a facebook status saying she joined, that was kind of a surprising Kevin Bacon moment -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 12, 20:21
- Impressive. I wish you luck. - ty97 Jan 12, 20:18 2
  - one of the benefits to going veggie, for me, was that i suddenly only had 2 - 3 things to choose from at a restaurant - kare Jan 12, 20:37 1
    - unless it sushi. zzzzzzzzzz -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 12, 20:50
- Traitor!!! -- nm - Stephen Jan 12, 20:17 3
  - I'm not doing it because I like animals or anything! I'm doing it because I hate plants! - ReluctantCynic Jan 12, 20:23 1
    - Plants are homes for spiders -- nm - Redmond Jan 12, 20:25
  - We can't save him, but we can keep all the others away from kare. -- nm - Redmond Jan 12, 20:19
- I personally like meat far too much to give it up. -- nm - znufrii Jan 12, 20:13 2
  - We know. -- nm - JackDawson si Jan 12, 20:17
  - I could probably stop eating meat. I figure if I don't eat them they will eat me. Like some kind of Planet of the Cows futuristic Tim Burton movie -- nm - Redmond Jan 12, 20:14
- Oh, new item for the boards. I have gone 12 days without BOOZE! - Redmond Jan 12, 20:12
- are you going lacto-ovo or full monty? - loosilu Jan 12, 20:12
- Eat me! Eat me! You know you want to -- nm - yummy animals Jan 12, 20:08 2
  - Get thee behind me, Satan! - ReluctantCynic Jan 12, 20:10 1
    - Ringside, yummy yummy!! Juicy yummy rib eye goodness. -- nm - Redmond Jan 12, 20:11
- i'm kare soymilk and i'm here to recruit you! -- nm - kare si Jan 12, 20:08
- I wish you well on the trial run. Remember Star Fleet of the 24th Century didn't eat meat. -- nm - crash davis Jan 12, 20:08 9
  - yes they did sir! -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 20:18 1
    - I could say I smell a bet, and then take advantage of you. But instead I give you season one, episode six "Lonely Among Us" memorable quotes section -- (link) - crash davis Jan 12, 20:24
  - This is a very good point. - ReluctantCynic Jan 12, 20:11
  - picard did. picard ate steak, bloody -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 12, 20:09 5
    - I just saw a first season episode last week where the dialogue sounded like it was written by PETA. The replicators didn't use actual flesh - crash davis Jan 12, 20:12 1
      - If it tasted JUST like steak I would switch. -- nm - Redmond Jan 12, 20:15
    - Spock didn't eat meat. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 12, 20:11 2
      - T'Pol certainly didn't, and I find the shape of her arguments...persuasive and pleasing. - crash davis Jan 12, 20:19
      - He chose not to. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 20:19
Enough about decade-defining bands. How about bands from the '00s that should have made it? -- (link) - ty97 Jan 12, 20:05
It's probably not good that I almost blurted "I'll cut you, bitch" to the Japanese lady that cut in front of me at the subway exit turnstyle, right? -- nm - ty97 Jan 12, 19:54 8
- Jet lag style got you all wound up? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 12, 20:12
- you may be mistaken for a ninja -- nm - Roger More Jan 12, 20:01
- I agree with cutcumber. -- nm - nubby seacrest Jan 12, 20:01
- It's not good that you almost did, correct. - znufrii Jan 12, 20:00
- Considering that knife attacks are prevelant in a city where guns are strictly controlled, um, no that'd be bad. -- nm - Qale Jan 12, 20:00
- would this statement have come with a snarl and a little bit of spittle left hanging on your chin? -- nm - Max Jan 12, 19:56 1
  - I'm imagining a Jamie-Kennedy-type squeal -- nm - Roger More Jan 12, 20:00
- only if she speaks English. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 19:54
Victoria's film festival is next month, and I have no clue if any of the movies are what I'd consider "good". Can you guys give me some recs? - Beryllium Jan 12, 19:47 7
- I Killed My Mother, Defendor, Last Train Home, Lebanon, Collapse, Three Blind Mice, Rain, Terribly Happy, ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction -- nm - Dano Jan 12, 20:09 1
  - thanks :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 20:21
- Darfur, directed by...Uwe Boll? I'd see Like Dandelion Dust, Pippa Lee, Untitled, and Most Dangrous Man in America -- nm - Max Jan 12, 20:07
- *sends up the Dano signal* -- nm - ty97 Jan 12, 19:54 1
  - No one ever seems to notice that the Batsignal is basically a pictograph for "Moonbat" ... -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jan 12, 19:57
- i've heard of Collapse, Most Dangerous Man in the World, Secret Life of Pippa Lee, and Yes Men Save the World - fatsquatch Jan 12, 19:53 1
  - I'm not averse to docus ... there was one last year about an 80 year old bank robber, that was entertaining too -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 19:54
Apparently a pair of the Real D Avatar Coke Reward glasses is on ebay for 40 bucks. -- (link) - Qale Jan 12, 19:45
Most read story on GoVols.com tonight: "Kiffin not on USC's wish list " - David Jan 12, 19:44 2
- Ouch. To be fair, as of yesterday, there was barely even a whisper of Kiffin's name being associated in the job hunt. (nm) - musubi Jan 12, 19:47 1
  - Monte Kiffin is the big loss for us and the huge get for you for the next 2 seasons. -- nm - David Jan 12, 19:58
lost in all the Conan/Leno brouhaha seems to be the fact that George Lopez has brought comedy back to late night -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 12, 19:43 1
- Against whom? Carson Daly? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 19:43
I've never played an MMORPG, but Star Trek seems tempting. -- nm - crash davis Jan 12, 19:42 11
- It might have Orion slave girls -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 19:43 10
  - Hey both of you - eag Jan 12, 19:45 5
    - bring it beyotch! -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 19:49
    - nice :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 19:48
    - coolness! -- nm - crash davis Jan 12, 19:47 2
      - The xbox was finally sent out today - eag Jan 12, 19:50 1
        
        And they at least better send me at least a one month xbox live card like last time -- nm - eag Jan 12, 19:52
  - That actually was my first question about the game. Because if I was to be a Star Fleet captain, I'd want to captain the right way. -- nm - crash davis Jan 12, 19:44 3
    - I don't see you as a Kirk....mayhap a Janeway though. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 19:51 2
      - I'm sorry, did you say something Wesley Phaserbait? -- nm - crash davis Jan 12, 20:01
      - I'm sure Janeway had a few trips around Orion's Moons as well -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 19:53
I don't want to work tomorrow ... but one bright spot for the day is the return of Leverage. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 19:41
Haiti's earthquake was felt in Gitmo (200 miles away) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 19:39 3
- "Feel those tremors? Yeah? well, that's the least of the things you'll need to worry about from me... NOW CONFESS !" -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jan 12, 20:05
- Oh I'm sure it was. That's not shocking. -- nm - Redmond Jan 12, 19:45 1
  - If it caused damage in Gitmo, that would be kind of shocking. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 19:48
Downright giddy. (nm) - musubi Jan 12, 19:36 16
- You should be. He's young and makes some silly mistakes, but he feels like the next great college coach. - David Jan 12, 19:37 15
  - If it were just Lane alone, I'd just be happy. The staff he's bringing in is *stellar*. - musubi Jan 12, 19:40 14
    - Yup. Our OC had been an OC in the NFL, but it's basically our staff with Norm Chow instead of him. - David Jan 12, 19:45
    - So, anything less than a national championship is a disappointment? -- nm - nubby seacrest Jan 12, 19:41 12
      - Sorry, according to SI there is a new dynasty. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 20:23
      - Within 3 seasons, I think it'd be reasonable to expect a BCS bowl bid. - musubi Jan 12, 19:44 9
        
        And it's smart for Kiffin to be a big fish in the PAC-10 than swim with sharks in the SEC. -- nm - David Jan 12, 19:46
        
        I don't see why not. USC is a fine mid-major school, and Kiffin came from a good mid-major program as well. -- nm - crash davis Jan 12, 19:45 7
        
        Can't you just be happy your Seahawks got Pete and not sully my giddyness with your silly talk? (nm) - musubi Jan 12, 19:49 5
        
        I was just glad I was at the last game Pete lost to us. It was fun! -- nm - Redmond Jan 12, 19:50 4
        
        You know Pete was really good at? Winning Rose Bowls. How'd that go for you guys? - musubi Jan 12, 19:52 3
        
        He was good at losing to Oregon schools too. -- nm - Redmond Jan 12, 20:02 2
        
        Well, I'm just glad those wins got you all those consecutive Rose Bowl appearanc...what? Oh, nevermind. (nm) - musubi Jan 12, 20:08
        
        And I curse you to hell for forcing me to uplift the Beavers program. Damn you! -- nm - Redmond Jan 12, 20:03
        
        But enough about Fresno State... -- nm - David Jan 12, 19:47
      - If you ain't first, you're last ... -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 19:42
as the only guesser, RC wins! 5 socks (2.5 pair) and 5 infinity scarves. - loosilu Jan 12, 19:36 2
- Hooray! What do I win? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 12, 20:01 1
  - um, one sock? -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 20:13
