You know how people always wonder who the hell the Neilsen viewers are? They always complain that they've never met any and they must be 83 year old mostly blind women in Arkansas.

Apparently, they are.

Why Family Guy was cancelled is no longer a mystery.

My family was a Nielsen house briefly. It was SO ANNOYING. Do you know how it works? They give you this chart and you have to fill out what you've watched and when, and for how long, etc. etc. etc.

TV is all right and everything, but that was just too much goddamn work.

I think I need to take a break from the boards.

Its good sport and all, and its great for procrastinating at work, but I'm really running out of ways to say "Yes, everyone is entitled to an opinion, but as yours is wallowing in gross ignorance of the salient facts its probably not one you should let see the light of day if you...

I'm a pretty jaded bastard. I know people. I've done the industry whore thing. I've met oscar winners, grammy winners, visual artists, heads of state, the oldest man in space. I'm cool like that.

But this guy: totally starstruck

It's like finding out the Easter Bunny is real.

I want to beat Daryl Issa with a bratwurst.

Not because he gave us The Governator, bankrolling the recall with Texas money stolen from California in the first place. Not because he's a reactionary halfwit. Not even because of my well documented suspicion of guys named Daryl (admit it, theyre shifty).

I want to bludgeon him because I live across the street from an auto...

Did you ever see Daryl Issa on Real Time with Bill Maher? He wasn't nearly as retarded as I was hoping he was. It enraged me that he was somewhat coherent.

"who would you want to club with luncheonmeat"

The list is long and distinguished.

I have somehow, through some hot key typo, managed to set my start page to:

There is no such website.

doctashock:
I like your comment in the "Hilarity..." thread also.

Like I said it is a very complex issue. I just choose to live my life and not get caught up in all that bullshit. If I got upset everytime somebody said something stupid or insensitve (either maliciously or just out of plain ignorance), I'd be walking around pissed off all the fucking time. So I just let it slide most of the time.

Nice pics of the fam be the way too.

In case you were wondering, vacuuming up candles is not good for the vacuum cleaner.

Infants:

-Spastic motor control
-Horrific, incomprehensible noises
-Grostesque facial expressions
-Indifference to surroundings or subtle stimulus
-Single minded persuit of human based sutstanence
-Pallid complexion and skin discorporeality

Sound familiar? Sounds like, maybe...

Zombies

I think I'm onto something here.

Just wanted to say I enjoyed reading your points in the slave reparations thread. You've got retorts that sometimes border on painfuly sharp, but I generally walk away learning something new and different from your discussions. Thanks. smile

amusing....

you forget the banana-and-cappucino-milkshake baby poop.

seeing as their diet is mostly mother's milk, I can understand how when whites first began having diplomatic and trade relations with Japan, a culture that did NOT drink milk, that us gaijin smelled pretty bad.

somehow this has something to do with baby poop....

So it has recently come to my attention that many educated worldly people seem to have missed a few of lifes most basic lessons. Here is a refresher:

If you try to take something back to a store without a receipt, you will not get a refund. Not even if youre white and well dressed and have lots of precious metal charge cards. If you...

I don't know...being white and well dressed has got me pretty damn far in life. Not to mention the light hair and blue eyes. Not to mention the precious metal charge cards biggrin

You've been mingling with lesser mortals again haven't you?

Well...you ARE smart enough to realise what happens when you do....

Just not smart enough to learn from it...

Just pointing out that you start to spell poorly when you get mad. I imagine you frustrated, banging out quick unedited responses on your keyboard in a frenzy.
It makes me feel like I know you! smile

BTW, you are almost always right, which makes this even funnier.

i am very much curious as to where you've been and what languages you speak.

and the blade line was quite good. i was so terrified i almost forgot about the advent of gunpowder...

but i guess since we're shifting time and transporting me to feudal japan anyway it probably won't matter.

you don't think flux would avenge me huh?

s5 just closed the thread. frown

maybe be flux would be my second then... cuz only suicide can wipe away the dishonor of trolling a thread to death.

Etiquette question:

Suppose, for the sake of argument, an old friend has reappeared on the radar through the grapevine. That is, someone you know has run into someone theyre in touch with, blah blah blah.

Ordinarily you'd drop them a note, or call or what have you, right?

Unfortunately, this person is a man.

She didn't used to be.

How do you start that E...

My advice:

Say hello - phone or face-to-face, tell him you've heard about the change and you want to hear all about it, so how about coffee, right now, my treat. Because I know you're deadly curious, open-minded and you are also very fair. I think you're one of those people who can generally get their intellect and their heart to cooperate very well.


oh and...

God Jul och Gott Nytt Ar.
