Almost as bad as when my mother vocalizes "How do I hang up?" every time I call her cell phone...

@peteer02: hates geofencing: I agree. They could implement it the same way rugby does - where the ref has a earpiece and only in situations where a goal has been overturned do they turn to the upstairs reviewers who give them a quick decision. For the most part, I think the problem is the ego of some referees - after…

Her?

So... it shows a mirror image of me? No, that's just a mistake in photoshop...

Star Trek. Maybe it's because I'm more of a fan of Star Wars and have cringed as Lucas, in my view, brought disaster on the franchise with the new films. Let's not do more disservice. I prefer instead if someone ruined an already mocked and outdated television series.

@jodark: That really only makes our sanitation superior. Where does culture come into play here?

@SynicVance2.0: I suspect you are agreeing with me here. The Nation was pointing out that people like Kevin Sheehan and Thom Loverro should not be dismissive of the victory. Nor should they use it as an indicator of cultural supremacy. Because, after all, it is just a game. And a beautiful game at that.

@prez687: I agree. However, considering remarks made by Kevin Sheehan and Thom Loverro, not all of us Americans perceive it that way. The Nation was objecting to being dismissive about our victory. And to using it as proof of cultural superiority.

The Nation wasn't trying to say that we shouldn't celebrate, but that we shouldn't see it as an indicator of cultural supremacy, like the Nazis did.

@bluehinter: I'm more interested since you compared it to a Jonathan Lethem novel. Which one were you thinking of?

@Pittsburghmuggle: I still know folks who are convinced that the sky is blue because it reflects the ocean and the ocean is blue because it reflects the sky. Clear logic.

More accurate.

@Black Rebel Telecomic Club: I have not. But now that I have a "wow" review, I'll be sure to check it out soon. Thanks!

@wizzade: Oh, I liked it too. I just didn't like having to explain to all my friends who were expecting answers all season that the show would likely not answer everything. I think that annoyed me more. As did the day after when everyone was griping about the finale.

@Black Rebel Telecomic Club: Yes we do. I prefer Charlie Palmer. That was the last place I went. Love their "family size" sides. MmmMmm. Then Ray's.

Pardon me, but last time I had a steak in DC (only a few weeks ago) it was the second finest steak cooked in Existence (for the finest steak, please head the the Restaurant at the End of the Universe). While the last time I happened to stop by a London Pub, they only served steak in a microwaveable pie crust. Poor…

Mike (aka RoryPiper) was promptly iced by a bro. He refused to drink the Ice and was instantly excommunicated and shunned. At least he still has his SNES-iPad-iPhone...

Hm. What about ABC's promotion of "LOST: The Final Season" where they promised answers and then gave none?

That you know about!

@TalkyMeat: Ok, I agree. Publishers need to restructure their business model. However, the current business model uses the initial release in hardcover to help the publisher re-coup costs (which it often fails to do). I would think that ebooks for hardcover books should be higher as an "initial release charge". Then,…
