- ha! you're funny. -- nm - kare Dec 22, 13:00
alternate jenbro poll: what's the worst concert you've ever paid to see? (i've been pretty lucky, can't remember any that out and out sucked) -- nm - pixmas Dec 22, 12:55 22
- a less than satisfactory U2concert when bono kept breaking his songs with "nursery rhyming" classic rock snips that sucked -- nm - double dose Dec 22, 13:08
- not the entire show, but Sugar Ray's set opening for 311 was *awful*. -- nm - TFox Dec 22, 13:06
- Guns n Roses, about 1992? Axl had a hissy fit about 1/2 hour in and walked off stage. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 22, 13:05 1
  - Do you even read these boards? - Spawn Dec 22, 13:07
- Matt Costa (so boring) or Cartel (3rd time I saw them) lead singer's voice was gone, and the opener got booed off the stage -- nm - MDH Dec 22, 13:05
- Ozzy with ANthrax opening...I fell asleep. Twice. It was awful. -- nm - Remlik Dec 22, 13:05 1
  - heh. Saw them open for Crue/Whitesnake outdoors in Ohio. - Spawn Dec 22, 13:06
- I wouldn't say 'worst' but we left Journey (sans Steve) early in Vegas because they wouldn't stop playing their new stuff. -- nm - Don't Stop beVermin Dec 22, 13:03 1
  - oh man that kind of stuff ticks me off -- nm - Epiphany Dec 22, 13:05
- Non-festival sets... Hmmmm. Possibly Willie Nelson. Certainly on the "Expectations vs. Experience" factor. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 22, 13:02
- Todd Rundgren NYE 1980'ish. He played 1 1/4 hours, then started to milk audience for enchores, and it was barely 11pm -- nm - peglegpete Dec 22, 13:01
- Back when he was unknown, I saw Kid Rock in an industry showcase opening for Monster Magnet - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 22, 13:01
- Actually, also a NIN show. My view of the stage was blocked by a bunch of speakers so I couldn't see anything. - JaxSean Dec 22, 13:01
- sadly, i'd have to say the last time i saw the decemberists. -- nm - kare Dec 22, 13:00
- no specific concert per se but worst opening act: POD - Epiphany Dec 22, 12:59
- Mismatches come to mind. Black Crowes/ZZ Top. - Spawn Dec 22, 12:58
- I saw The Samples at some small venue in Orlando. Could have been a high school band playing. crapola -- nm - CQ Dec 22, 12:57
- McCartney: Flowers in the dirt. It was a sucky show. Second would be Sting: 45 minutes, no encore. -- nm - TWuG Dec 22, 12:56 4
  - sting on the blue turtles tour was my second concert ever. pretty great. i even wore the sweatshirt for my school photo! -- nm - pixmas Dec 22, 12:58 3
    - ~Under the ruins of a walled city, crumbling towers and beams of yellow light...~ -- nm - Don Homer Dec 22, 13:02
    - I took an ultra punk girl with me to that show. Great time. -- nm - Spawn Dec 22, 12:59 1
      - he was only a year out of the police. right in the prime of his career -- nm - pixmas Dec 22, 13:00

- Fuck...here comes nekkid crazy Mel. -- nm - Jim Dec 22, 12:54 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - like you weren't asking for it. You're always asking for it. Don't blame me. Blame your lawyer ankles. - Mel Profit Dec 22, 13:00 2
      - His ankles resemble bannisters? who knew? -- nm - Epiphany Dec 22, 13:01 1
        
        fleshy...sexy bannisters of android love. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 22, 13:02
- F*ing Dano!! -- nm - Don Homer Dec 22, 12:54 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - F*ng Head Monster TFox -- nm - Epiphany Dec 22, 12:56 1
      - HMTf. That's funny -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 22, 12:59
Here's a good "dinner uncomfortable" for you... We got invited to dinner tonight. The invite just came Monday. Mrs. NWBR isn't.... - Name Withheld By Request Dec 22, 12:53 19
- So I guess asking if foie gras is on the menu is out of the question? -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 22, 13:03
- the issue bout veal is the deplorable life the por baby cow has, usually bound in a tiny cage so it gets no exerize for whiter tender meat -- nm - double dose Dec 22, 13:00 2
  - Yes. It makes the meat quite tasty. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 22, 13:04 1
    - Is this still done though? I thought the confined spaces etc were a thing of the past -- nm - Roger More Dec 22, 13:05
- i wouldn't think of veal as a particularly controversial dish to serve at a party, actually. i certainly wouldn't want to look at or eat it though. - kare Dec 22, 12:57
- I am going to disagree - veal is still wildly accepted as main course dish - Epiphany Dec 22, 12:56 10
  - No, it's just more of a "You're making me eat dinner I don't like with people I don't care for on two days notice three days before Christmas!" thing. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 22, 12:59 4
    - Dude, let her off the hook. Apologize when you get there, "Something came up...her family and stuff." -- nm - Jim Dec 22, 13:02 3
      - Too late for that. When I learned of the meat last night, I offered her the out once again, but she's now got it in her head she'll disappoint me. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 22, 13:07
      - Yup. This is the kind of thing that might be one of the straws on a camel's back, if ya know what I mean. (nm) - musubi Dec 22, 13:05 1
        
        No, no, no. I shouldn't make it sound so dire. She's not looking forward to evening, but it's not like it's a major rift either. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 22, 13:08
  - I would think it to be a better option for those against meat. I mean, they're gonna butcher it sooner or later. might as well be sooner -- nm - CQ Dec 22, 12:59 1
    - I think the thinking is "the cows deserve to live for as long as possible". - Beryllium Dec 22, 13:04
  - I'm with Pippy on this one. -- nm - Jim Dec 22, 12:56 2
    - At the same time, I would most definitely give my wife an out on this, regardless of the RSVP. -- nm - Jim Dec 22, 12:57 1
      - for sure - and I might even tell them why - Epiphany Dec 22, 13:00
- veal is the one from tenderized baby cows, right? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 12:56
- Damn veal chops!! -- nm - Diva si Dec 22, 12:55
- Yeah, veal is where I draw the line. - Stephen Dec 22, 12:55
My family usually doesn't squabble, aside from that period where we were trying to figure out how to help/deal with my dad, and realizing that my - Stephen Dec 22, 12:53 2
- that has got to be tough -- nm - Epiphany Dec 22, 13:03 1
  - My favorite (from the grandma department) was when she told us she knew better because she'd raised 3 generations... - Stephen Dec 22, 13:12
I bet Crash's sister likes Scott Pilgrim. I'm taking her side in all future family disputes. -- nm - David Dec 22, 12:51 5
- You know who put Scott Pilgrim as #1 on his Top 10 Movies of the year list? - Dano Dec 22, 13:00 1
  - Broken Clock Scenario! -- nm - David Dec 22, 13:04
- Oh. My. God. Are you suggesting that crash did *not* like Scott Pilgrim? - musubi Dec 22, 12:52 2
  - It's a mystery for the ages. -- nm - David Dec 22, 12:56
  - On days like this, I almost have trouble calling him friend. -- nm - Spawn Dec 22, 12:53
i am informed that i am lucky to be missing xmas back home this year. one stepsister is pissed that my parents still stay in contact with her husband - pixmas Dec 22, 12:49 8
- Hmm. The closest I have ever come to this was that Amy's family was being pal's with Amy's highschool sweetheart for a while. That bugged me a bit. -- nm - Spawn Dec 22, 12:51 6
  - you mean the guy who runs the comic shop 6 blocks from your house? -- nm - Remlik Dec 22, 12:56 1
    - Yup. Don't mind him being 6 blocks away. - Spawn Dec 22, 13:04
  - what happened to waffle house dude? -- nm - pixmas Dec 22, 12:52 3
    - Do I need to google? I don't even remember WHD. -- nm - Spawn Dec 22, 12:53 2
      - didn't amy get her divorce at the waffle house? -- nm - pixmas Dec 22, 12:55 1
        
        Oh yeah. That is the dude that runs a library in Kentucky now (or did a few years ago when she posted it). - Spawn Dec 22, 13:00
- " Son, I can't do nuthin for ya" -- nm - Epiphany Dec 22, 12:50
"It's all on...bits *rifles through scraps*...of paper. It'll take me a week to go through it all." - Mel Profit Dec 22, 12:48
Kilbo reminded me of this: "Vegetarians from the other point of view" -- (link) - MDH Dec 22, 12:45 [youtube]
so basically kilbo, this feels like the most recent passive aggressive jab (in a long history of passive aggressive jabs) to your wife? - kare Dec 22, 12:45 6
- It does to her. I think my family is just clueless but in recent years I've come to appreciate that clueless != OK -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 22, 12:57 2
  - ugh. - kare Dec 22, 13:02 1
    - I have, in the past, been too clueless myself and overlooked most of what has bothered her. It isn't worth blowing up about but - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 22, 13:04
- FWIW, I was convinced by TFox's Ohana arguement. I say kilbo is right to be miffed. - musubi Dec 22, 12:46 2
  - i love that all you needed was a little Lilo & Stitch. hee. :) - kare Dec 22, 12:48 1
    - What can I say? When a Experimental Destructive Alien Creature is right, and Experimental Destructive Alien Creature is right. (nm) - musubi Dec 22, 12:50
See the joke is - of all the things that could have been construed offensive, Jello is probably the least offensive of all. - Diva Dec 22, 12:43 18
- Jello is made from ground animal collagen. Hardly unoffensive. -- nm - TWuG Dec 22, 12:46 15
  - And chitlin's are made of hog guts, Andrew Zimmerman. Need we continue? -- nm - Diva Dec 22, 12:48
  - ding. actually an animal product. gross. (though i will still eat the occasional marshmallow) -- nm - kare Dec 22, 12:47 13
    - it's in yogurt, too, IIRC. -- nm - santa loosia Dec 22, 12:47 12
      - for serious? gelatin?? -- nm - kare Dec 22, 12:48 11
        
        uh, you didn't know? all the nonfat yogurt has it for texture. -- nm - santa loosia Dec 22, 12:49 10
        
        not all, some. fage, some store brands, and others are regular-gelatin free. -- nm - b. Dec 22, 12:55
        
        kare is a *dumbass*. -- nm - TFox Dec 22, 12:50 8
        
        right? see also: i can't remember the last time i ate nonfat yogurt. gross. - kare Dec 22, 12:51 7
        
        that greek stuff is da bomb - Epiphany Dec 22, 12:52 4
        
        uh, you didn't know greek yogurt has goat in it? -- nm - kare Dec 22, 12:54 2
        
        goat milk or like, actual goat? - Diva Dec 22, 12:57 1
        
        "Bits of real panther." (nm) - musubi Dec 22, 13:00
        
        it's awesome. -- nm - santa loosia Dec 22, 12:53
        
        I don't like the flavor of it. -- nm - santa loosia Dec 22, 12:52 1
        
        uh, you don't? -- nm - TFox Dec 22, 12:54
- You are truly a joke-smith of the highest caliber. (nm) - musubi Dec 22, 12:45 1
  - when they started in with the recipes I became concerned. -- nm - Diva Dec 22, 12:46
Four Pearl Jam answers. That's impressive. -- nm - TFox Dec 22, 12:41 20
- that was a great show. -- nm - CQ Dec 22, 12:52
- They put on a great show (not to mention their awesome library of potential songs). -- nm - Don Homer Dec 22, 12:51
- the early shows were distilled Rock Awesomeness. - Mel Profit Dec 22, 12:44 17
  - I saw them during Ten, with a then-unknown band called Rage Against The Machine opening for them. - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 22, 12:48 6
    - I didn't know Rage toured with them. That is definitely several gallons of Rock Awesome. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 22, 12:49 5
      - They might not have. For all I know, it may have been a case of PJ giving the spot to a local band. (RATM are from LA) -- nm - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 22, 12:52 4
        
        it definitely sounds likely. - Mel Profit Dec 22, 12:53 3
        
        Imagine the first time you hear RATM being at a concert for a more traditional band like PJ. - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 22, 12:57 2
        
        I still remember listening to their first album on a dubbed cassette and just being blown away. nm - Dignan Dec 22, 13:04
        
        I don't know if they get enough credit from the kids now a days for being as different as they were. - Mel Profit Dec 22, 13:02
  - My show was only five years ago and it rocked out with its c*** out. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 22, 12:46 3
    - I love the shows now but for different reasons. - Mel Profit Dec 22, 12:52 2
      - That was the best part... The entire arena of 18K belting out entire verses in perfect time. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 22, 12:55 1
        
        I love that part of the show now. - Mel Profit Dec 22, 13:07
  - you know who i saw in 1995 with my high school friends instead? - TFox Dec 22, 12:45 5
    - you were just 10 years too late. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 22, 12:48
    - Vanilla Ice? (nm) - musubi Dec 22, 12:47 3
      - you mean Bel Biv De Voe - Epiphany Dec 22, 12:50 2
        
        C&C Music Factory and Timmy T? nm - Jim Dec 22, 12:51 1
        
        LOL!! oh wait - I saw Sugar Ray at Six Flags - I got no room - Epiphany Dec 22, 12:52
[deleted]
A family is a team. -- nm - Spawn Dec 22, 12:40 38
- [deleted]
- Our team is a drunk coach, a brain-addled GM, and Albert Haynesworth. - Will Hunting Dec 22, 12:48 7
  - Our team is Newt Gingrich, Pope Benedict's biggest fan, and everyone else. I'm getting a headache just thinking about it. -- nm - santa loosia Dec 22, 12:49 6
    - That doesn't make sense. Newt and the Pope's biggest fan aren't even on a team. - Will Hunting Dec 22, 12:54 2
      - I stink at everything, apparently. -- nm - santa loosia Dec 22, 12:59 1
        
        That's not true. - Will Hunting Dec 22, 13:00
    - yikes!! -- nm - Don Homer Dec 22, 12:50 2
      - [deleted]
      - you have no idea. -- nm - santa loosia Dec 22, 12:51
- Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind. Or Forgotten. -- nm - Jim Dec 22, 12:46 17
  - Still good. - TWuG Dec 22, 12:48 16
    - Did it hurt when they took the nails out of your head? - Will Hunting Dec 22, 12:49 15
      - It was hammered home, but the movie was still 15 different kinds of awesome. - musubi Dec 22, 12:52 1
        
        This. -- nm - TWuG Dec 22, 12:53
      - dude. dude. there will be no quarter for Stitch haters in these parts. -- nm - TFox Dec 22, 12:49 11
        
        good movie, but let's be honest, it was a subtle as a jackhammer. - Will Hunting Dec 22, 12:51 10
        
        It was a kid's movie, you don't go in looking for subtle. They played it over the top, but it didn't hurt the movie. (nm) - musubi Dec 22, 12:55 4
        
        Maybe I'm conditioned by 15 years of Pixar movies where subtle is not only possible, but expected. - Will Hunting Dec 22, 12:56 3
        
        Lilo & Stitch can hold it's own against any of the Pixar films, and I *love* the Pixar films. - musubi Dec 22, 12:59 2
        
        I'd put L&S above Cars, WALL-E and Monsters, Inc. -- nm - TWuG Dec 22, 13:00 1
        
        That's just crazy talk. Monsters Inc makes L&S's story look even worse becuase of how solidly Monsters did it. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 22, 13:02
        
        if heart was dangerous, that movie would be a WMD. -- nm - TFox Dec 22, 12:52
        
        It makes me sad that you just didn't get it, then. -- nm - Spawn Dec 22, 12:52 3
        
        Oh, i got it. I'd love a normal family. i don't have one. - Will Hunting Dec 22, 12:53 2
        
        you can show them Tarzan! -- nm - TFox Dec 22, 12:54 1
        
        "yes, that's your uncle. Which one? ... the ape." -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 22, 12:54
      - Maybe you should make your family watch it!I - Spawn Dec 22, 12:49
- I hope you appreciate how lucky you are. Some people have families that are not like that. -- nm - santa loosia Dec 22, 12:45 2
  - My twin is marrying into a pretty fighty family. It's been... interesting. -- nm - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 22, 12:49 1
    - Ever so often be him, show up, blast the stupidity and then return to your normal world. - Will Hunting Dec 22, 12:50
- My wife, my daughter and I are a team. Beyond that, family is either on the cheerleading squad or in the stands rooting for the other side. - TWuG Dec 22, 12:45 5
  - Our families are countries in Europe - mostly they are civil to other countries but a countries won't even speak to other citizens for years on end - Epiphany Dec 22, 12:48
  - Wow. Like loosi said, I appreciate my situation more and more. - Spawn Dec 22, 12:48 2
    - Kelly thanks god she met my family so she could realize her family wasn't half bad. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 22, 12:52
    - you should. And those of us with crazy families dont' always appreciate advice that assumes everyone in our family is normal. - santa loosia Dec 22, 12:52
  - When you aren't aiming for the same goal, you ain't on the same team. -- nm - santa loosia Dec 22, 12:45
- Losing is a disease... ...as contagious as syphilis. -- nm - Max Dec 22, 12:43
- so is the Justice League, that doesn't stop Batman from receiving passive agressive comments -- nm - crash davis Dec 22, 12:42
