Family members on FB are the worst. Especially when they didn't realize what an alcoholic, chain-smoking harridan I had become in college until they saw that one picture i forgot to de-tag. I do a pretty good job of staying out of pictures in general not only because I'm not too photogenic, but the cameras usually…

"As entertaining as the U.S. Kitchen Nightmares can be…"
Which is to say, not at ALL entertaining. It is possible, that if I hadn't seen the UK version before watching any US episodes that I may have thought it was ok. As it is, I can't see why anyone would change the formula of the original. I mean, does he even take…

or "the closest thing I came to vomiting tonight was when i saw ann coulter's shoulder blades"

I was a late Obama supporter, and have never had a raging hard-on for him mostly in reaction to other peoples' blind admiration. The whole "messiah" thing was pretty stupid since they were almost assuredly setting themselves up for disappointment. The most one can say is that he will be better than Bush (and how hard…

"Just remember, it is supposed to be quality over quantity. "

the premiere a capella group at my school is composed almost entirely of gay men. They would probably be getting tons of nerdy ass too (whenever they go on tour, the little girls throw themselves at them) if they weren't too busy fucking each other.

ignore the apostrophe. I have no idea why i added it.

Here Come's Treble?

like a horse
Does Julia Robert's walk remind you of a horse's gait? It's like her legs are too long for her body, or something. Whenever she's trying to walk sexily in the trailer, all i can think is "neigh."

And the concentrated sexiness would cause the charred ashes of the celluloid to evaporate into the theater, making all the ladies explode in a different way. Make it happen CronenBurger. I need to see this movie!

i'm not 100% positive, but i think she dies of complications from diabetes, not cancer, in Steel Magnolias. If i'm right, i kinda hate myself but that movie came on several times a week when i was a youngin.

i get what youre saying roneesh. Ive been following Nathan (sounds creepy, no?) for a while now and while it is cool to hear his little random thoughts, it seems weird that i have no way to respond or interact. Not that I'm clamouring to be besties with Nabin (tho, that would be awesome) but I like the back and forth…

"We got beaches!" "Well who the fuck wants to see 'em?"

@dollar bill
i had the exact same experience. My mom and I watched both of Bob's shows religiously on nick at nite (along with most of the line up at the time). It was nice to know that I could so readily appreciate Newhart's droll sense of humor at such a tender age. He shows up in some goofy movies that I would not…

i love the speeches too. One of my favorite throwaway moments was when Cartman called Greys Anatomy, "douchebag garbage." I couldn't think of a better way to describe it.

repeat watcher
i love the Watch Instantly feature. Unfortunately, i don't take nearly enough advantage of it because I consistently go to old favs (there's some great Herzog selections, the Office UK, the first two seasons of 30 Rock etc) and the occasional documentary. I don't know why, but it's hard for me to try…

@ ellie
you and I have the same "talking-to-parents" schedule.

the first meaning, i understood and have used myself. Your explanation of the second meaning is welcome, but still irksome in the sense that popular culture continues to categorize beauty by color and race. It's as if the most beautiful african woman could never been on the same plane as the most beautiful…

when i was little, there was shitty little convenience store around the corner that always sold pork rinds. My family didn't eat pork and I would beg my mom to have them, but I never made the connection that the fluffy/salty looking things in the bag were derived from a pig.
