@whata: Talk to the wife while working? It's bad enough I have to talk to her at home! I'm still not sold…

I know someone who thinks that stuff like The Klumps is hilarious, stuff like Drumline is deep and stuff like Boogie Nights is boring and stupid. So, yeah, White may be completely serious.

@Chuckee Jesus: It will a miracle if Daniel Tosh survives the week, given that I'll probably hunt him down and kill him if I have to look at those fucking pictures of him in that cat makeup for even one more second.

@whataworkout: If you're working, then your company should pay for your laptop connection to the internet. If there's no wifi, then you can just tell the boss, "sorry, no wifi." If you're not working and you're still tethering, you're a douche.

Someone told me just today that you're not allowed to look at Steve Jobs when he walks into the cafeteria at Apple HQ. I'm not sure I buy that story, but Jobs does seem like enough of a dick for it to be true.

My first job out of high school was working for a company that made 8" floppy disk drives. This was right before the PC (with its 5 1/4" floppy) became huge. The company didn't last long.

Apparently, Mad Men is consistently trounced in the ratings for its time slot by Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

@Pig - Your comment made me think about it for a bit, and I realized that Foo Fighters are not a shitty band, just a mediocre and banal one. I stick by my no-contract-without-the-Nirvana-connection statement, though.

Am I the only one that thinks Apatow should have stuck with TV? Everything that makes his movies R rated is terrible (in an Adam Sandler gross-out-bodily-fluids-jokes kind of way), while the PG-level stuff in them rivals the awesomeness of Undeclared and Freaks and Geeks.

Pillars of the Earth?
That show was horrible. You know there's no redeeming qualities if Ian Fucking McShane isn't enough for you to finish watching it.

@Chauncey - you put it way better than I did (both times).

If not for the fact that it features one of the "other" Nirvana guys, a band as shitty as Foo Fighters wouldn't have a record contract.

Adult contemporary is music for old people that think they are still cool. So, boring 70s stuff like Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles, and boring new stuff like Dave Matthews and Santana. (But not old stuff by Santana, that's classic rock.)

@grapabo - The Foo Fighters are unfortunate in general.

I would also point out (cuz I'm an asshole), that AA's effectiveness is exactly the same as other treatment program, despite all their claims otherwise. In other words, not very effective.

I got the first two seasons of Breaking Bad. Watched up to S2 Ep7 already.

There really is quite a bit of crap on The White Album. I know that I'll probably never listen to Revolution 9, Long Long Long, Rocky Raccoon or Mother Nature's Son again. It definitely should have been a single album.

How did they manage
to set TWO tour buses on fire? Must have been a hell of a party.

Saw a guy that looked exactly like Chris Farley today. Except he was in a wheelchair. And alive.

I'll say! I'm going to start a paper route right now!
