Why do I have to say 'Blackmericans?' There's no such thing; can't I just say 'Black Americans?'

That DJ's probably drinking a beer on stage! They let you do that these days!

I get/like the Gallagher schtick, but I wish it wasn't in all caps. It seems like he should only be yelling sometimes - as our good Valedictorian points out. God, he was such a turd in that interview.

Yeah and I'm still saying that a chord like: C E G# B D could be considered an augmented 9th. You're building around an augmented triad (the C E G#) and you've got that 9th in there (the 7th, I have in there because I like the diminished triad on top created by the G# B D, but I suppose it's unnecesarry.)

Jason, Zack, you guys can't just like call eachother or walk down the hall to have this conversation?

Perhaps she is referring to a chord based on an augmented triad with ninth on it.

The crowd kept looking at me like I was using too many augmented 9ths.

Remember when they had the Wii codenamed "Nintendo Revolution?" God forbid it have a cool name.

Yeah, but look at that avatar. How can you stay mad at Mega Man?

Shame on me for knowing this, but Gossip Girl's unsuccessful adult clone, Dirty Sexy Money named their patriach "Tripp" with so many Ps. That's the secret to success - limit your Ps.

Gossip Dexter
Bart was a little too Harry Morgan for me in this episode. Chuck's just gotta learn to stop living by Bart's code.

Yes yes and yes. I was actually confused trying to pull this episode up on the DVR thinking we had actually recorded that Simpsons.

Yeah, shit. Nice work Johnny.

Olympics
So it's going to stream roll right through the Winter Olympics right? I don't want to take time off for that garbage.

I only know Kim Dickens from LOST, she's Cassidy, Sawyer's baby-mama. And I don't just think it's actors that I like, it seems like they're being drawn from a pool that they know my geek sensibilities can't say no to. Like when I hear the cast of Firefly and Tricia Helfer in the Halo games - feels like pandering.

The whole Somalia 1991 thing has me terrified that we're going to encounter the fabled "mystic negro." Or, in the idiotic words of Hiro Nakamura "Mr. African Isaac."

Badger!
Love seeing Badger a) delivering coffee b) playing hacky-sack c) getting arrested by DJ Qualls for selling meth.

This was easily the funniest chunk of the NBC comedy block last night. Poor Jerry didn't know he was adopted.

I'm actually starting to feel a little insulted by the parade of nerd celebrities. I started watching because I wanted to see more Sonya Walger and Dominic Monaghan, and I liked seeing Kim Dickens and Gina Torres last night, but I can't help but feel like these actors are being trotted around to tickle my nerd bone.

Jill? Wesker? What happened to Jill and Wesker?
