  - that's a tough call. not sure which I'd less rather have happen to me. -- nm - mafic Aug 30, 04:00

  - insomnia there or just on a hot writing streak? -- nm - JenBro Aug 30, 02:09 2
    - a little from column a, little from column b -- nm - milky Aug 30, 02:14 1
      - I just woke up ... earlier than I need to .... I should just get up but I feel a bit lazy. -- nm - JenBro Aug 30, 02:16
just go see Harry Shearer's Katrina doc in theaters tomorrow (one day only). "The Big Uneasy" -- (link) - milky Aug 29, 23:33
One thing seems very lost in the coverage of the 5 year anniversary of Katrina. It will happen again. -- nm - Qale Aug 29, 23:09 18
- that a hurricane will strike near New Orleans? sure. that wasn't the cause of the deadliest flooding though - milky Aug 29, 23:13 17
  - Someone didn't read the Popular Mechanics article posted a few days ago. - Stephen Aug 29, 23:41 5
    - Popular Mechanics should have probably waited until more than a few months after Katrina to pronounce the myth busted -- (link) - milky Aug 29, 23:50 3
      - Wikipedia to the rescue! - Stephen Aug 30, 01:12 2
        
        where the fuck did i say the Army Corps hated black people? -- nm - milky Aug 30, 01:20 1

    - Speaking of Mythbusters. I'm just days away from meeting Adam Savage my 4th Myth Met. (the Jamie's the last one nt.) -- nm - Qale Aug 29, 23:43
  - You talking bout Brownie? Hell of a job done, that Brownie. I won't tolerate any bad talking about that man. -- nm - Dubya Aug 29, 23:31
  - the levees were rebuilt to the old standard (which was still probably an improvement but) would not withstand an equal event since there is lowering.. - zeitgeist Aug 29, 23:19 5
    - the levees failed because they were negligently constructed by the corps, not because they were negligently designed originally - milky Aug 29, 23:21 4
      - yeah, agreed, but they are saying the standards they built to will not be adequate for predictable conditions coming because of the ... - zeitgeist Aug 29, 23:27 1
        
        Let's just face it: New Orleans will never be safe until Jim Cantore retires. -- nm - Qale Aug 29, 23:29
      - Of course Katrina didn't even directly hit New Orleans too. -- nm - Qale Aug 29, 23:23 1
        
        And wasn't even the Cat 5 when it hit. Unimaginably there is even room for a bigger strike. -- nm - Qale Aug 29, 23:26
  - Both will happen again. -- nm - Qale Aug 29, 23:16 3
    - not if the new levees work as they have been designed to - milky Aug 29, 23:19 2
      - The Dutch don't take hurricanes. I wouldn't put faith in new untested levees either. -- nm - Qale Aug 29, 23:22
      - dutch might get big strong storms but they ain't huricanes feed by very warm waters of the gulf (which is how tropical storms ramp up speed) -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 29, 23:21
I was really touched at the "in memoriam" part of the emmys, paticularly when they said "Captain Phil Harris". - Trish Aug 29, 23:09 1
- The nod to Capt Phil surprised me but truely he was worthy of the honor -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 29, 23:23
"Well, I did change one little thing..." - amoxy Aug 29, 23:03
I have such a weakness for Love & Basketball. -- nm - David Aug 29, 22:39 1

Whoa. WTG Peggy! -- nm - amoxy Aug 29, 22:38
Aww, Sister's Kid Rock Boyfriend is sick tonight. I love when bad things happen to bad people. -- nm - Qale Aug 29, 22:28 1

Did biz execs really drink that much? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 29, 22:24
mad men is *painful* to watch this week -- nm - milky Aug 29, 22:21 2

Pitchfork has the Top 50 Music Videos of the 1990's. -- (link) - Mop Aug 29, 21:31 9 1
- Two Bjork videos in the top 10? And no Tool video cracks the top 50? Pitchfork sucks. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 29, 21:42 6
  - I agree with JaxSean. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Aug 29, 21:45 5
    - It's a very Euro-centric list. -- nm - Qale Aug 29, 21:56 4
      - 'Tis. But coming from Pitchfork, I'm not surprised. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Aug 29, 22:03 3
        
        The Closer video is still just as insane as it was then, though, now it's being done by Visual Kei artists in Asia. Also, love the Missy Elliot video. -- nm - Qale Aug 29, 22:09 2
        
        I adore both of those. Plus Busta Rhymes. Even The Verve is kind of cool. - ReluctantCynic Aug 29, 22:12 1
        
        Most of the videos are directed by just a handful of directors so that's probably more accurate than Europhilic. It was entertaining. -- nm - Qale Aug 29, 22:16
- *waves, does a happy little milk box shuffle* -- nm - milky Aug 29, 21:42
- This should keep me entertained for a while. -- nm - Qale Aug 29, 21:40

- The candidates this season: Buffalo, Cleveland, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Washington, Detroit, Tampa Bay, St. Louis -- nm - Dano Aug 29, 21:05 4
  - in their division, St. Louis (assuming Bradford is the second coming that his draft status confers) -- nm - trumpy Aug 29, 21:13 1
    - From best chance to worse Washington, Detroit, Kansas City , Jacksonville , St Louis, Tampa Bay ,Cleveland ,Buffalo -- nm - eag Aug 29, 21:17
  - I agree with Reagen. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Aug 29, 21:08
  - Washington seems the most plausible. KC second most. -- nm - Reagen Aug 29, 21:07
