Hakeem Olajuwon (sp?) and Manute Bol would argue that some Africans do, in fact, play basketball.

Bfred, where in East Dallas? Lakewood? My girlfriend lives there. One of my favorite things about it is that it's close to little Vietnam and the kickass restaurants. In fact, I think I might get dinner at Mai's tonight.

Space Pope got it. That was quick. Yeah, I underestimate you people sometimes.

You can'ta foola me, I know there's no Sanity Clause.

We're solipsists because we aren't up on the slang terms of the past?

The thing is, I would bet my oversized belt buckle that most of the jerkoffs with the anti-texas and/or anti-south rants don't know anything about those places that they didn't hear on tv.

I don't see any problem with being against the bailouts but taking the money. I might not have wanted pizza, but if pizza's all there is and I alredy paid for it, I'm not going to go hungry.

Jamie Oliver comes off as a real pansy, but the one cool thing about his show is that he mostly seems to be making stuff that I could actually make at home AND looks like it tastes pretty good.

Whenever I rejoin Netflix, I fill up my queue with documentaries and foreign films. Then I get the movies in the mail and think "hmm..not in the mood. I'd rather watch the Futurama reruns again/go out to a bar/ play Gradius/ go read a book by the pool/ go knock on my neighbor's door/ stab myself in the face with…

It looks great to me. I know nothing will change the mind of people who decided they hated it when they first heard of it, but normal people will probably love it.

I haven't been to Houston since I was a kid. There's a pseudo-friendly rivalry between Dallas and Houston.

3 wins for me because of Hugh Laurie's turn as the Prince. The best role that I've seen him in.

When people say Dallas is "plastic" or "nothing but yuppies", I have to respond "oh, you mean North Dallas! I don't live there." Seriously, Dallas is a huge sprawling city, and the part that's all yuppies and SUVs is a really, really small part. Now, I understand that if you are visiting Dallas for whatever reason,…

And Oklahoma. Mainly for their state mandated weak beer.

Family Guy gets cheap with the references sometimes, but they also have some pretty funny characters. Especially Brian and Stewie. I don't really see why there is such visceral hatred for that show. People seem to have some philosophical problem with it that causes them to write these mini-dissertations on the…

I've watched more fishing shows than I care to remember. They do wonders for a hangover.

What's the show about the racist old guy who stutters and owns a small shop in some crappy neighborhood? I used to watch it all the time without really getting it.

The funny thing is, of all the music mentioned in this thread, nobody even touched on the truly terrible music coming from England. We really don't hear most of it, but if you did you would be begging for Coldplay.

And yeah, it's funny cause it's true. Arlen is the spitting image of my small town, and my dad is Hank Hill's doppleganger (an example, when I tell him to watch the show and that he would relate to it, he responds with "Why in the hell would a grown man watch a damn cartoon?"

We have this argument all the time, but…Arlen isn't a suburb. It's a small town like Ennis or Wichita Falls.
