I'm at 8 months....just doesn't seem to be much of a thing here...

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...

That looks like the Olympic Torch!

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....

DaveInSeattle

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...

They both look like Civil War generals...

Wow....Bill O'Reilly and Geraldo giving their expert opinions on FoxNews. The stupid is strong....

This is insane.

Jake Tapper has been amazingly solid all evening on CNN. But they seem really behind the local Boston stations that are posting things on Twitter....

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 all makes sense now...

Fred Couples having a good round at Augusta is like a triple dose of Viagra for Jim Nantz.

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. I always joke when I go to my kid's orthodontic appointments that I wish I had stu...

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.

DaveInSeattle

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

DaveInSeattle

WTF Betty? (and Ginsberg's 'stache is awesome.) Stan's beard is better. That's some Grizzly Adams stuff working there.... And Betty is all kinds of twisted. That stuff about holding that girl's arms down while Henry rapes her? Who the fuck thinks like that? And were we supposed to know who the Viol...

DaveInSeattle

At least they only let Vitale only do the first game. Jay Bilas on the second.

DaveInSeattle

That held ball call was particularly atrocious. It should have been a reach in or a no-call.

DaveInSeattle

Doing the color commentary on the overseas TV coverage of the Final Four? DICK FUCKING VITALE! Gah....this is beyond awful.

There was nothing quite so delightful as an Ebert review of a really bad movie. I think he got a perverse kick out of dreaming up new ways to say "this movie sucks". For example, from his review of the movie "North": "I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this mo...

There's a big comedy festival going on this week here in town. Lots of performers. I got taken last weekend to see an Aussie guy by some mates. It was ok...not sidesplitting funny, but decent. I think I missed about 1/4 of the jokes, due to them being rather Aussie-centric. Last night I went to a &q...

I just watched the first half of "Survive and Advance" with my kids. Man, it's great. I had forgotten just how many games that team fell behind and won in the final seconds. It's staggering. And the characters - Valvano especially - are so compelling that it makes for great storytelling. ...

There must be a few other GoT watchers out there. What was the reaction to the first episode last night? Mine: 1-The scene with Tyrion and Tywan was brutal. 2-Joffrey is still the sniveling simp. Lady Margery is the "Princess Diana" type. 3-I would watch a spin-off starring the Pirate dude...

Hamm was on the "You Made It Weird" podcast last week. Every time I hear him interviewed I think "What a normal guy".

DaveInSeattle

Got home, googled it. Looked, covered my eyes. It's like his calf had a joint and could bend. WTF? I saw a .gif that was just the reaction of the Louisville bench (with Ware cropped out), and even that was too much for me. I can't believe those players were able to regroup and play like that for th...

According to reporters there (posting on twitter), guys on the Louisville bench vomited at the sight of the injury.

DaveInSeattle

For the love of god, please NEVER show that replay again.

Is it just me.....or does anyone else thing that UCLA could have done better? I mean....I think that Alford is a decent enough coach, but was anyone else thinking "wow....we really need to hire Alford away from UNM"? And yeah, it totally sucks that he does this a week after signing a big e...
