It is, after all, only one comment wide at it's least wide point, and only something like a couple hundred comments long at it's longest point (currently the Nicholas Sparks post). Vigeogum is somewhat of a delicate ecosystem.
I was convinced Richard Alpert was going to turn out to be an ancient Egyptian, tying together the eyeliner, the hieroglyphics, the giant hippo statue etc.. Wrong again.
Also, how in the hell do they get from the Canary Islands to the South Pacific? Is the island in the mid-Atlantic in 1867? 7 weeks can't come fast enough for me.
This time I'm not sure the flaws of the closed captioning make much difference. I didn't really get much more meaning out of H to the izzo, V to the izzay, did any of you?
Yeah, but what do her OTHER doctors say? Anyone can find ONE of their doctors to purport that sleep is essential to good health, but that could very well be misleading, no? I think we need to find out what the consensus among Ms. Paltrow's physicians is. Or at least four out of five of her doctors.
So it's cool and all if people are interested in where they're from and what their ancestry is and all that, but I don't think most people really appreciate the numbers involved. Assuming that, on average, generations are 25 years - a reasonable number when you carry this back far enough - and accounting for the fact that you double your number of ancstors every generation, going back to the time of the Salem witch trials, Sarah Jessica Parker (being over 40 years old) had about 4,000 ancestors around. Go back 100 years more and you're at 32,000. Go back 500 years and you're at a million. What I'm getting at is that people track these things back and find one individual and think "wow, that tells me so much about who I am....it changes everything". Nah, it doesn't. You're looking at one individual of very, very many who contributed to who you are. Go back more than a few generations and it doesn't matter all that much, really.
Ha ha ha - futuristic. What future are we talking about? That car was designed about 30 years ago. We're in that car's future and cars do not look like that! We have to go back....
That makes a much different story, you're right. And while my interest in getting to the bottom of this is minimal, I do maintain that a "too fat for one seat" policy is at some point sensible. As a fairly large person in my own right, airplane seats are uncomfortable enough when everyone is within the space allotted to them. When the person next to you is spilling over into yours, it's all but unbearable.
I'm not even sure what his argument is...that Southwest should not have a "too fat for one seat" policy, or that they should have such a policy and he simply was not quite fat enough for it to have applied to him? It seems only common sense that at some point, a "too fat for one seat" policy is legitimate. Some people are very, very fat, and planes are small. It's science. Also - who is the poor girl being shamed in this scenario? Is it Kevin Smith? Is it his wife's taint? Please keep in mind that when you are too fat for the armrest to go down, that the person in the seat next to you is f'ed.
Anne Hathaway is a phone sex operator? Really? What year is this movie set in? Does she wear a fat suit or some sort of facial prosthetic or something to get into the character of a phone sex operator from 1988? Maybe they CGI out one or both of her arms? I just don't see Anne Hathaway as a phone sex operator in 2010, sorry. I'm sure that would be the single largest problem I would have with this movie.
The AP report has it right - most viewed in U.S. TV History - but most other media I've seen/heard reporting this simply state that it was the most viewed in TV History. Sorry, no. Both soccer matches and olympic ceremonies have topped it. Get off your high horse USA! I am curious as to whether this count is estimated people or based on television sets - there's gotta be a pretty high ratio of people to TV's for Super Bowl viewership.
I do not care what their back story is. What they are doing is next level awesome and I support it. It is okay for performers to perform is it not? Is anyone upset that Jack and Meg White are not really brother and sister or that the Ramones were not all brothers? Just let them be great!
The Grammys...oh brother. Fair enough that the Gagas, and Pinks, and Black Eyed Peas of the world get a stage for something like this. Sure - celebrate pop music hits while you can, the shelf life on these songs is nil, but look at their nominees for best rock album:
Green Day ? 21st Century Breakdown *winner*
AC/DC ? Black Ice
Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood ? Live from Madison Square Garden
Dave Matthews Band ? Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King
U2 ? No Line on the Horizon
Seriously. AC/DC? Whoever decides on these nominees is not qualified to do so. Are they really listening to Black Ice? Who on earth is listening to Black Ice????
I don't think Mancrunch understands men at all. Who goes to a SuperBowl party wearing the jerseys of teams that are not in the SuperBowl? They nailed the random street signs all over the walls though. Totally a thing guys do.
I could have guessed that a thread on a Lindsey Lohan sex tape would turn out to be a barf-fest, but I wasn't really prepared for the specific way in which that would transpire. Surprise!
Ha ha ha - this was already funny, but then I clicked on the CNN link and saw the picture leading their story. I'm guessing the user named "Mike" is the guy eating a whole pizza straight out the box while watching the film. Eating his pizza through all the tears and shivers that is.
Anaconda is seriously one of the greatest movie's of all time. Endless re-watch value. Jon Voight was on some next level shit right there (it is terrible, he is terrible, and it is fantastic for it).
Are we close to reaching the point where people do not care what time things are on anymore? Cause I'm there. I know everyone doesn't use DVRs and a large part of Leno's audience was probably in an uproar when they realized they had to get digitial converters to keep watching Leno, but is the time the show is on really so integral that it becomes a part of the set design? Plus - time zones?!?! There are a lot of people on Central Time! Unless it's a live sporting event or a political debate, we'll watch it when we want to watch it, thanks.
Yes, it is that amazing, and yes, watching the series in sequential order is imperative.
I have a friend who tried to jump in in the middle of season two or three and he was like "yeah...I don't know I watched and episode where that heavy guy with the curly hair is binge eating on all this stuff and I was like 'yeah, they were in a plane crash and that guy's got all this food and hasn't lost any weight'....I don't know, seems lame". I didn't bother trying to explain.
MEH VS. SNOOZE! I was already pretty satisfied after we acquired our very own monkey boy to do our bidding (thanks for that) but MEH VS. SNOOZE is great.
Late to the party (as usual) but count one more for Chicago. And double upvotes for deep dish pizza, but hey, we also have thin crust pizza in this city, and it blows away anything I've had anywhere outside of NYC. And maybe Rome.
Keep posting about metal. I love it and there are not many well written or well rounded forums for discussing what's going in on that end of the musical spectrum.
And seriously all you Animal Collective > metal commenters. Do you really listen to Animal Collective? Do you understand that their entire approach is based on drawing influences from anywhere and everywhere? Ever read the liner notes to Person Pitch? Noah likes metal! I can't believe I'm even bothering to make this arguement.
Viva metal \,,/
Seriously, why is he holding an anvil? He's a janitor not a blacksmith...the completely nonsensical connection to my Lips statement is freakin' me out. Who do you work for Beauregard?! Who sent you!?!?!?
