ranks right up there with the Duck Dynasty dude's comments about how happy them blacks used to be when he was a kid...

well to be fair, Herb Tarlek was SUPPOSED to be dressing like a moron. Didn't excuse the rest of them though (seriously, Andy, WTF)

not ignoring you btw, just long bad hours. Give me till later this week.

heh, working on it :-) I work nights so I have no time till my next weekend but holy crap there is some stuff to tell...

I'm a temp contractor and working at Amazon right now (and won't be for much longer). If you want to know any specifics on how it's working out, let me know and I'll send you an email.

working in a fulfillment center right now, I can honestly say I can see this being posted on the bulletin board, right next to the "urine color chart" that indicates whether you're dehydrated or not. (and no, I am not making that up. There is a chart and it's posted in every bathroom stall in the facility. It's up to…

no bookie will take those odds. That'd be just like throwing money out the pay window.

re #1, when I was making restaurant reservations in Vegas we had to tell people when making a res for a party of 8 or more that an automatic 18% gratuity would be added to the bill... and I cannot count how many times that announcement was followed by a uncomfortably lengthy pause and then a "make it a reservation for…

If you saw "Overdrawn at the Memory Bank" and / or the MST3K riff of it, you would be treated to 10 minutes of Raul Julia pretending to be mind melded into a baboon named Daisy who was so drunk on marula fruits she and her group were cartwheeling down hills...

nah, Cirque du Soleil already DID Avatar: The Last Airbender years ago. It's called KA and it's in Vegas and the whole premise of the thing is "until the Fire Nation attacked."

saw the preview for this in front of Days of Future Past. First thing I saw was the road sign for Mt. Tamalpais, the big mountain in the middle of southern Marin County... excellent choice for a base, being one of the two obvious high ground locations (the other being Mt. Diablo in the east bay).

I saw maybe 2 or 3 eps of this in reruns, trying to give it a chance. First one, Vulcans are dickwads. Second one, time travel something. Third one, all I remember is that there was a race of 3 genders needed to reproduce but the third (carrier, I guess) was a servile class, kept ignorant and basically passed around…

Viggo, dude, you dodged a you know what there, didn't you? Good job.

I actually had this convo yesterday, when someone said "well I've never seen it (an instance of women getting casually harrassed)

I don't see it so much as a smile as I do a smirk. The smirk that goes with "yeah lol what are you going to do, go to a mall? What is this, 1995? We own you lock stock and credit card."

it's been pointed out elsewhere: Joss Wheedon tweeted his own Cornetto pic and Wright retweeted it. (ETA: here )

when I was six my mom made my teenage brother and sister take me to a movie to get us all out of the house or some thing. They chose the Poseidon Adventure. I was so fucking traumatized I left the theater screaming, and they had to buy me the Mad magazine with the parody in it and point out "see, it's making fun of…

lol, I read the headline and thought, "wow, Mayweather beat up a casino? Why, did the pirate show run too long?"
