- I have to stop looking or I'll cry at work. :/ (and, from a bb, I agree with loosi re: cnn coverage.) - b. Jan 14, 11:00
- I don't know if it's better or worse that it's warm down there - decline Jan 14, 11:00
- Holy frak. I had to stop after about 15. It's just too sad. (nm) - musubi can't stop thinking about Primer Jan 14, 10:58 5
  - Word. I do not understand how someone can be standing there taking these pictures and not think to themself... - Jim Jan 14, 11:00 4
    - what they said. (there are always stories of news folks helping in situations like this, though.) -- nm - b. Jan 14, 11:02
    - People taking these pictures have inspired millions of dollars in donations. Just sayin'. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 11:01
    - To be fair, I can: If this is what you're best at, and it can spur others to contribute help. - musubi can't stop thinking about Primer Jan 14, 11:01
    - i'm sure they do. but i guess they also know that those pictures will generate millions of donation dollars... -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 11:01
- holy crap, picture 15. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 10:52 2
  - also #22 -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 10:53

~There's no life away from you~ -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 14, 10:50
Community may still be the funniest new show of the season, but it's so impressive for ABC to get three great shows back to back on one night. - Dr.Vermin Jan 14, 10:48 11
- The Middle did take a couple of episodes before we started to love it. - Dr.Vermin Jan 14, 11:02
- I enjoyed the one episode of The Middle that I watched, but it didn't hook me. I immediately loved Modern Family and Cougar Town. - Mop (225 lbs) Jan 14, 10:59
- Patricia Heaton is the reason I've never watched a minute of The Middle. - musubi can't stop thinking about Primer Jan 14, 10:51
- *RIP Hank* -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 10:50
- I love Community, but it's no Modern Family. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 10:50
- I skipped Middle and Cougar Town. They didn't look funny to me at all -- nm - oblique Jan 14, 10:50 5
  - Cougar Town isn't super smart, but it doesn't feel dumb either. (If that makes any sense.) The characters are likable, if the stories lite in scope. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 10:53 1
    - This is kinda how I feel. I gave it a chance and it was pretty good. I won't Season Pass it, but I'll watch it when I can. - musubi can't stop thinking about Primer Jan 14, 10:55
  - I've never seen Middle, but i like Cougartown (though last night's wasn't great.) -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 10:51 2
    - Really? Both of us loved last night's episode. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 10:55 1
      - oh, i love everything Christa Miller says on that show. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 10:56

- jeff zucker needs the human equivalent of a cone-of-shame. -- nm - b. Jan 14, 10:50
- Hmm... this should be fascinating to watch play out. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 10:47 4
  - (I love the "Orgasmic Case Scenario".) -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 10:48 3
    - that should involve the Masturbating Bear in some form. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 10:57 1
      - Basically the only way Zucker can redeem himself is to reveal that he's been the masturbating bear the whole time. - Beryllium Jan 14, 10:59
    - Imagine if they actually did that, though. - Beryllium Jan 14, 10:53
- that was ... fast. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 10:47
- I wouldn't be shocked if tomorrow night's isn't the final one and NBC pulls him off this weekend. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 10:45 4
  - I would think that would put them in dangerous territory regarding breach of contract. - Ender Jan 14, 10:48 3
    - i wouldn't be surprised if their contract doesn't allow them to pull out at any time. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 10:50
    - Maybe they're okay if they keep paying him. -- nm - mara Jan 14, 10:48 1
      - That's my thinking. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 10:51
- er... i meant to say movieline. -- nm - Buzz Jan 14, 10:43
Speaking of Tiger Woods, did ST hear the rumor that he's in a sex addiction rehab facility in South Africa? -- nm - mara Jan 14, 10:42 15
- morning newsradio sports guy told me it's either there or arizona. -- nm - b. Jan 14, 10:48 1
  - "I don't know. Maybe it was Utah." -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 10:51
- has anyone heard the Tiger Woods version of Toto by Africa? God, funny stuff -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:44
- I heard he became a Scientologist and was spotted in Hawaii sacrificing live babies and virgins. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 14, 10:44
- [deleted]
- I didn't hear that...but I'm pretty sure I heard his sigh of relief when McGwire admitted to using steroids. -- nm - Jim Jan 14, 10:43 1
  - *grabs pitch fork* -- nm - Don Homer Jan 14, 10:45
- wtf? The sex addiction rehab facilities in this country aren't good enough for him?!!! - Diva Jan 14, 10:43 2
  - Dr. Drew even said " the boy is whacked" -- nm - Pippy Bells Jan 14, 10:46
  - Him and Dave Chapelle. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 10:46
- last i heard it was Arizona (i think it's incredible someone of his profile has been able to go well over a month in this situation without a single - fatsquatch Jan 14, 10:42 2
  - This is why the offshore rumor makes a little sense to me. But South Effin Africa?? -- nm - mara Jan 14, 10:43 1
    - Chappelle must have sent him hiding out tips. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 10:45
- I heard that he was in Dignan's basement. -- nm - Dano Jan 14, 10:42
- we have now! :) -- nm - znufrii Jan 14, 10:42
The thing I loved about the first part of Primer was that I found it to be an accurate depiction of the process of science. -- nm - Dano Jan 14, 10:32 3
- Absolutely. It felt so genuine. (minor spoils) - musubi Jan 14, 10:36 2
  - I'm only partway through, but the first scene that really hooked me a little (spoils) - TFox Jan 14, 10:37 1
    - That's when it starts getting *good*. - musubi Jan 14, 10:38
So ... some thoughts on Jay/Conan/Jeff - Beryllium Jan 14, 10:32 17
- some broken down decrepit giants of a bygone era squabble over scraps....nm - x Jan 14, 10:50 1
  - no, you're thinking of the sale of Canwest Publishing -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 10:55
- 2) Conan has been hilarious the last two nights. Really awesome stuff. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 10:38 9
  - the "really slow news day" moment happened just before the quake in haiti, didn't it? - Beryllium Jan 14, 10:39 5
    - Probably. If you stayed up that late, you watched Fallon? - TFox Jan 14, 10:40 4
      - naw, I skipped Fallon. Recorded Ferguson, though, but haven't watch it yet. - Beryllium Jan 14, 10:41 3
        
        oh. boo to you then. here's video, to be filed under "Fallon can actually be sort of funny on late night tv". -- (link) - TFox Jan 14, 10:44 2
        
        Sort of funny is very accurate. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 10:51
        
        wow, that's awesome :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 10:49
  - the ironic part is it would be less of an issue for Conan if everyone who is supporting him on facebook/twitter actually had watched his show the last - fatsquatch Jan 14, 10:39 2
    - *finger to nose* -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 10:43
    - I don't watch late night TV, but I will defend to the death Conan's right to helm it. -- nm - Team CoCo si Jan 14, 10:40
- I haven't watched a late night show other than TDS/Colbert in maybe a decade. - Reagen Jan 14, 10:37 4
  - Yeah, that's the comment I made to my buddies this morning: What's the "product" of a late night show? Comedy is better elsewhere...... - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 10:42 2
    - It's the celebrity interviews. I think the minor spikes in ratings can often be traced to what guests are on the show. -- nm - Dano Jan 14, 10:43 1
      - My instincts tell me even more so then: It's a dying model. What demographic under 40 cares about celebrity interviews on talk shows. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 10:58
  - I even cut both of those out over a year ago -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 10:37
I'm 78% sure that despite ESPN is saying it's Cutcliffe, Troy Calhoun is the next coach at UT. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:31 9
- i'm 93.25% sure you made up that statistic....nm - x Jan 14, 10:34 1
  - The other 22% of me is highly offended by your accusation. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:35
- I still blame you for getting my hopes up about Norm. - musubi Jan 14, 10:32 6
  - I posted about this on b2 if you didn't see it. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:34 5
    - I respond on B2, but I'm still mad at you. I was *giddy*. (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 10:36 4
      - No, you didn't respond to it. At least not yet. See, it's Primer again! - David Jan 14, 10:37 3
        
        I should probably see that movie at some point. (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 10:39 2
        
        Ooh, well played. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:41 1
        
        I'm acutally upset with myself, because that joke doesn't really make sense in time continuity. - musubi can't stop thinking about Primer Jan 14, 10:48

- i think i need to see this again. i saw it at the theatre and i just didn't like it, which seems odd. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 10:26 5
  - It seemed odd I didn't like it either. Tried giving it a second chance on DVD and turned it off, decided I was right all along. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 14, 10:37
  - it takes a while to get going -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 14, 10:28 1
