The Swamp

Please shoot me down if this is as naive and horrible of an idea as I might suspect, but has anyone ever actually tried posting a missed connection on Craigslist or other similar site? Was in Boston last Friday and had a girl spontaneously strike up a conversation while walking beside me at the mal...

I can't wait to see how Draper reacts to that!

Robb Stark may be the worst King/General ever...but damn his wife has a nice ass....

A quick search didn't reveal a similar thread so I'll start one here. Any recipes for one pot rice meals? I've seen people make some pretty cool stuff with mostly rice, beans, and dried stuff. Anything would be appreciated from any type of cuisine. I'm on a shoestring budget and both rice and beans...

Ah, that answers it. Excellent explanation. Thanks for digging that up, Shirley. That's gotta be it. Funny thing, Full Metal Jacket only received one Oscar nomination and that was for Best Adapted Screenplay. Which strikes me as kind of odd given that all of the best lines in the film are R. Lee Er...

So are the other teams just not going to get the big boats in the race? I thought there were some others lined up to challenge? Team China Energy Team (French) Team Korea HS Racing The other teams were doing the AC45 series of races, but didn't have the funding for building the AC72's. There have o...

I went and saw the new Star Trek tonight. I liked it. I really like Simon Pegg as Scotty, and the guy playing Spock is pretty good. And my god....Alice Eve is absolutely incredible. Her role is fairly unnecessary, but wowza.... Actual shot from the movie: http://cdn-media.hollywood.com/images/638x42...

DaveInSeattle

Fucking sucks. What a waste. Yeah, those boats are cool, but they are just too dangerous. They'd be bad enough just as 72 foot cats, but foiling as well? Just insane. The word is that the carbon fiber of the forward beam cracked, which caused the failure. Just a disaster. I don't see how Artemis con...

Saw Frightened Rabbit last night. Those guys are just really really good. It was interesting....I listened to the song "Backward Walk" about a zillion times when I was going through the shit with The One Who Broke My Heart....Twice, and it just really spoke to me. Can't really listen to it...

Are there 4D movie theaters in 'MURICA? They are the norm over here. 18,000 WON ($16.50) to sit in a seat that moves, shakes, vibrates, pokes your back and legs, all while getting bursts of air and mist shot at you. Plus the movie is in 3D. Iron Man 3 was better because of it. There's a new theater...

Another great moment from last night....

DaveInSeattle

And we can't forget this all time great Pete Campbell moment.

I wonder if that was scripted, or if the actor just fell down during the shoot, and they decided to keep it in.

I watched Django a few weeks ago....and I don't know.....it was good, but I was mildly disappointed. It really needed to be about 20 minutes shorter. I felt the same way about Inglorious Basterds as well. And holy crap....what was the point of having QT and those other 2 guys as the Australians? Mad...

I use Google talk more than anyone should. (We have it at work and so it's my primary communication method) I've seen it before where a conversation from earlier will randomly pop up. It'll be like three or four lines from something I previously said and it's completely random. Did you both see it?...

Anyone a google talk user? Here's the issue: My LadyFriend and I were IM'ing, using google talk, and all of a sudden, something came up in the box where she would type, that neither her or I wrote. She, naturally, is completely freaked out, that someone had hacked into our IM session. I guess that's...

Adam Carolla. I know a lot of folks don't like him, but he is actually unbelievably good at what he does with this format. I also like the others on his team. If nothing else, try to find the episode where David Allen Grier came on and did a Teddy Pendergrass "impersonation." It's possibl...

Michael Shannon deserves some kind of an award for this. I sent that link to my LadyFriend in Seattle, who forwarded it to her 20 year old daughter who is in a sorority. The daughter said that her sorority had already had a long talk about that email, and are using it as a "teaching moment&quo...

If Hodor isn't a guest on the Swamp podcast, I'm going to be very disappointed....

I listen to quite a few podcasts here. I think part of it is that its just nice to hear American voices, without the accent. The ones I listen to regularly: Steve Czaben show - national sports talk out of DC Hang up and Listen BS Report Filmspotting - movie reviews and stuff. Sound Opinions - Music ...

50 Shades of Gray That would mean that you read it. I read the first 50 pages or so.....after hearing Dan Savage talk about it on his podcast. His take was "hey, it sucks, but anything that gets suburban married woman to embrace their inner kinkiness is a good thing". Its awful....the wri...

My lady-friend from Seattle was coming to visit me this week for 10 days here in Melbourne. Until she blew out her back doing yard week 2 weeks ago....she had the microdiskectomy surgery last week. So now she's looking at a 3 or 4 month recovery time, and no trip to Australia. The lesson? Always get...

DaveInSeattle

Not sure what happened there, must have been an issue with your download. In the broadcast there was no music until the cut to black, then the song (a punk version of the tune sung earlier by the soldiers) over the credits. Apparently this has caused a dust-up with some members of the fan base who ...

DaveInSeattle

One note of interest...yes, Adam Scott is the first Aussie to win the Masters. But the thing wasn't shown live here, which seemed kinda goofy to me, considering how sports mad this whole country is.

I just watched the end of this game, and saw the play where Kobe went down. Nothing dramatic, so crazy twist or collision. Just kind of had his foot slide out from under him.

In 2000, with the Mariners, A-Rod used "Who Let the Dogs Out".

It's absurd how good the iPad app is. MLB is about 80% as good as this, every other live sports app doesn't even deserve to be discussed in the same breath. The Masters app on the iPhone is the shizznit. Makes the March Madness app look like child's play. For example...the March Madness app would s...

I don't know if I could have done the pharmacy thing...I worked at a drug store my senior year of high school, and it always seemed to me like the pharmacists mostly counted pills and typed up labels for pill bottles.

Dick Vitale was back for the Final. Despite that, it was a fun game to watch. Both Siva and Burke are fun guys to watch.

Perfect....More characters! I need a scorecard to remind me who all these guys with beards are.
