In that picture up there, he looks like the guy who played John Connor's father in The Terminator.

Probably the fact that there's not a character named Grace who needs saving.

I don't know what this refers to, but a quick search of the Googlewebs shows me that Bob Seger could convincingly play Phillip Seymor Hoffman in a film.

When you meet him, have some courtesy, some sympathy, and some taste.

I guess I'm old-fashioned, because I really like the dismissive, derisive, and disgusted "son of a bitch." Just listen to the expert way Holly Hunter deploys it in the robbery scene in Raising Arizona.

You went to junior high with Flavor Flav?

Turn out, it was! Boy, is there egg on my face!

How 'bout Francisyo san?

If he gets sent to prison, he'll say, "I ain't spending my life here.
I ain't living alone.
Ain't breaking no rocks on a chain gang.
I'm breakin' out and headin' home.
Gonna make a jaaaaaaaaiiiiilbreak…"
And it will be awesome.

They gave Strong Sad his own movie?!

Thanks! It's going alright so far. I'm about a month in. The biggest difference I notice from my previous job is that at the new one, I don't feel an emptiness in the pit of my stomach and a formless sense of dread every morning when I go in. I'm also not hronically bored (and, thus, not spending hours each day on…

Wow, I haven't been around for a while! I started a new job a month ago, so I haven't had time during the day to hang around with you guys. Plus, each weekend since I started that job, I've been busier than a one-legged man at an ass-kicking contest. So not much time at all to spend around here. Plus, I have to be…

I, however, love the tripe-option. In fact, I am opposite @ssoldner:disqus , in that I find NFL football intensely boring because of the realtive lack of an exciting running game, compaered to college. Maybe what I really want is rugby.

This is all true — in the United States. Isn't Chris Lilley Australian? I know they have a much different attitude toward blackface down under (i.e., white people don't have a problem with it). There was some kind of talent show on TV there, and Harry Connick Jr. was one of the guest judges. One of the acts came out…

All the more reason to be extra-careful. It's a serious subject, and deserves care and attention, not hastily thumbed-off dismissals of centuries of injustice.

Christ, I think you're right. It seems to work fine on IE. Is this some part of net neutrality we should be worrying about?

Maybe I should have noted that I'm using Firefox. Ugh.

Not to hijack a thread, but if I'm to see any responses to my question, they neeed to be on the front page. Is anyone else fining the Disqus red-circle notifications icon not working when they click on it? I have been trying to see my notifications since Friday, and every time I click the red circle, it just turns…

On the other hand, you are not La Pipe, you are merely a picture of La Pipe.
