Think all securities lawyers look like that?

Michael Powell, your unintended consequences are calling.
 
Who would have thought we would someday see Ira Glass and Terry Gross on Howard Stern's tip?

Count me among those who find Stern puerile and repetitive. If I have to say something nice, I'll say he does have an amazing ability to get celebrities to pretend to discuss their sex lives. If it weren't for this amazing ability, I never would have learned that Anya from "Buffy" likes anal. For that, I salute you, Mr. Stern.

Fuck, I thought that one was obscure enough.

The Church of the Painted Breast runs a reverse-419 scam.

Both, but sometimes my affinity for the ACC is greater.

And SEC/ACC Chick was unwieldy.

(British man sentenced to 5 years in jail for possessing an illegal firearm after he accidentally shot off his testicles. Talk about adding insult to injury. Ouch!)

That's my favorite Pink Floyd album. Fuck all that, we've got to get on with the filmshow. If it makes you feel any better, Atticus and I were likely the only ones who got it.

I just wanted to point out that Sebby got the Dr. Dre quote wrong. It's not "That's the difference between you and me," but rather "What's the difference between me and you?," one answer to which is "5 bank accounts, 3 ounces, and 2 vehicles."

I was going to say you can add "lyrics" and google any line from a song, but it didn't work for that one. What song ncs?

Well, I'm partial to Obscured By Clouds also, and I like More, but on the whole, I have to agree - Final Cut is my favorite.

I wonder why we haven't seen a Waters' solo record ripping on the Iraq debacle. "The Bravery of Being out of Range" about the first Gulf War was one of the nastiest songs ever. And logically, it had a point.

Because deep down I know you really care
 
The US Men are 7th on the recent FIFA rankings. Germany 2006 here we come! Then again we barely eked out a 1-1 tie with Poland (who didn't even qualify for Euro 2004) so who knows what will happen.

No deep irony, no clever self-congratulatory forced satire/sarcasm, no intllectual pretension... just a dumb little joke between folks with similar mindsets. You either are on the bus or off the bus on this one.

Worse than "hellllo ladies" is "hellllo, ladies - Can I interest any of you in a beverage?"

Saying "beverage" is like saying "myself" because you think it sounds fancy (hi paigow!). I might go so far to say it's the worst worst.
I myself am a big fan of "beverage." I think I like second only to "cocktail." But then, I'm an old-fashioned guy. And I'm way over trying to sound fancy (hi Paigow!)

This is ironic, right? Or some cousin to ironic? Because we all know what the single-syllable non-fancy word for beverage is.
