My gf's dad thought she was awesome, so she probably like crushed unions and told people to get a job and stuff. I don't know a thing about her either, other than she was BFFs with Reagan and they rode horses once. This, and I like Shrew's post as well. She was Reagan in a skirt and a dour attitude...

I'd call Shrute Farms about that.

Perfect. If he wins, give the prize money to the runner up. You gotta pay to play.

I'm confused, the Korean's minds are blown as to how vulgar American pop culture is because K-Pop is so cutesy and watered down? Or are the non-Korean civilians shocked that the cutesy K-Pop lyrics, while seemingly cutesy and childish, are actually explicit when translated? Maybe I'm mixing a coupl...

You can't make me choose one Don Cherry video over another. I'd lean techno, but Kwi-bek and the Euro insult made it impossible to choose. Damn I miss Hockey Night in Canada. Probably what I miss most about college is Canadian TV.

I highly recommend watching his TED talk on YouTube from a couple of years ago. It is extremely poignant. Mainly focuses on the loss of his ability to speak. Some of the stuff he wrote after his cancer was was mind blowing. Incredibly heartfelt, touching and intelligent. Plus he dated Oprah and ess...

There was interest in Lee Hi in the previous K-Pop thread. Here's her new song. I can't believe she broke up with a giant male Hello Kitty character dressed as a late 1980's Compton thug. That song sounded so similar to something I can't quite place, Janis Joplin, maybe. I find that with a lot of K...

I actually had a real discussion about K-Pop with non-Korean civilians and it's weird how the pipeline for this stuff works. Not to mention they are all teachers at universities or otherwise. So not only are they teaching Koreans English -- at times using American pop culture for help with our idio...

I'd tell them to move to Iran or North Korea if they prefer the domestic policies there.

I don't watch any of that shit. But if you're Fallon? Fuck, yeah, take the cash; it's NBA star money. And resign yourself that it's as far as your career is going to ever go, become immune to terrible generic sterilized network monologue "writing", learn to tune out the trained-seal laugh...

3-Eddie Pepitone. I don't know....he didn't do it for me. Kind of an old school comic. Rough edges. Had some funny bits, but didn't seem to be on the same wavelength as the audience. Lots of shouting. He has done a couple of live WTFs, and I agree with you. I find him irritating. He actually seems ...

This song is like a year and a half old but Minchin likes to block some of his music from youtube so that people that see him in concert will have some new material to listen to. Anyway, there's some stand-up at the beginning but if you want to go right to the song it's at 5:25. The story he tells ...

I'm calling bullshit. The tape is clearly edited. Breitbart's people are beyond this! It's a vast right wing conspiracy! Where was that little cunt James O'Keefe while this was going down?

I'm happy to see Chelsea advance, even though I hate them more than I hate ManUre. Anything to keep them distracted from the league and finishing in the top 4. I think an FA Cup title run is the perfect distraction for Chelski, especially while they struggle with their league form with some tough ga...

Yeah, you guys in the northeast are useless to this conversation. I'm in the process of buying a house that is a considerable upgrade for my family and what syb put down plus my downpayment would pay for my entire new home. The other reason is that single living is done in cities in apartments, so ...

I got two Westinghouse 40" LED (1080P/120HZ) refurbished for $186 apiece. Yes, I know, Westinghouse refurbs should throw up a red flag, but why the hell not at that price and it's a business expense. Westinghouse anythings should throw up a red flag. Those are the garbagiest TVs/monitors I've ...

Pulled the trigger today. Best Buy ran a great sale, thanks to Johnnie or the tip on slickdeals.com. Insignia 55" LED, 120HZ for $649. Can't beat that. Insignia is the store brand, which is supposedly identical to the LG model. The guy showed me the two models, and they looked identical to me....

Not only that it's the same day as the beer festival, but it's also Mother's Day weekend, and he is getting married in out of town, no kids invited. 37 years old, all of our friends...

He's 32. He's had six years to rewrite his defining moment. But yeah, Romo could definitely be worse, and their GM sucks, so they probably had to pay him. Right. The issue is who do you replace him with. If you assume that Romo is at worst league average (and I'd argue he's closer to about 8th-12th...

I went back to Hoptron Brewtique tonight to pick up some growlers. Place was hopping again. I grabbed another 32 oz jug of Canard Noir , a dark Saison from Greenport Harbor Brewing Co. . It's really good. Different tasting. Not hoppy, but almost spicy. I like it. I also grabbed a 64 oz growler of J...

He was awarded best defender in MLS last year, so I'd say not surprised. I know the circumstances aren't the same, though, so it was pretty awesome to see him play so well. And 80 minute with a yellow card as well against those diving cheats. He and Omar were fantastic. Looked possibly like a cente...

This is great. Maybe one day I'll work up the nerve to try it. This is a much better technique. Some of these girls seem like they kind of like the idea. I don't know.
