First hockey, now this. (spree: yahoo article entitled "Canadian Beats World at Rock, Paper, Scissors") What's next, the Duck Duck Goose title going to some bastard from Yellowknife?

I fear for my children.

Friday night? Hell, that's just before dinner.

Old Jack rolls the dice

We also kick ass at coin-flipping (that's heads or tails for any of you that may play in the NFL), eeny meeny miney moe, and "not it". Consider yourself warned.

Just as long as we can still win at dodgeball and 'red rover'.

A potential paimate on Intoleable cruelty
 

Of course the man loves the Big L, just for context. For those who wanted feedback.


If you have a chance to go see Intolerable Cruelty, don't, it is
easily
one of the worst, if not THE worst, Coen brothers movie to date. It's
hard
to fathom how they could have crafted such crap. In my opinion,
Catherine
Zeta-Jones is the previously unsolved cure to insomnia, the writing was
poor, and George Clooney tried, but missed, in being zany and
slapstick.
Kill Bill is good, but basically the biggest budget B movie of all time

umm, Dave, you're one of us.

Most Coen flicks aren't as good on the first view.

As for a good flick, go to your nearest art house and check out "Bubba Ho-Tep"

Funny as balls.

A potential paimate on Intoleable cruelty
 

I really liked it, and I've never liked Catherine Zeta-Jones. YMMV. I enjoyed IC more in the theater than, say, The Big Lebowski or Hudsucker Proxy, but am not sure that it will bear up as well to reviewing.

Sock confessionals?!? Ooooooo, that is sooooooo 2001. Pretty Little Flower mastered and disposed of that genre of post long before he retired.

BUt, thanks for playing!

Agreed, with the exception of Fargo. But did you like it or do you just have hope for it?

Are you really asking this? If someone offers you free TV time, you take it. Maybe she'll rekindle interest in her ordeal and get to sell the movie rights for a pile of dough. Why not make a stack of cash out of a bad situation?

If I'm not mistaken, there is a television movie coming out soon, hence the media blitz.

Because the amount of publicity and the general sort-of-offness of her parents makes it seem more like exploitation than like making the best of a bad lot.

This is cool. We should have a sock amnesty. Paigow, as far as I'm concerned you're pardoned for all your socks' crimes against FB-ity.

I haven't gotten around to it yet. Now that the baseball is [finally] over, I'll probably hit it at some point this week.

I have hope in that I didn't particularly like "Man who wasn't there" in the theater, and I absolutely hated "O Brother" the first time I saw it. Now I love and own both.

BTW, I still think Fargo is their worst picture to date.

There is no such thing as too much publicity for a non-celebrity such as Ms. Smart. She's got one shot here and she should appear on every show that will have her. This is not parental exploitation, its a PR agent's decision... probably the same cat who's repping that Army chick who was captured in Iraq. Out of sight out of mind...

Talk about improving upon later viewings, I watched the entire first season of "The Office" over the weekend, and this morning while brushing my teeth, I was thinking of a particular scene and very nearly choked on a mouthful of Colgate. When I saw the scene, I laughed, but not in the gut-busting way I did when I thought about it later. [Scene described below, after some other words that will substitute for actual "spoiler space".]

I just love that show. My husband doesn't think it's funny at all -- how can that be? He's more of a Beavis & Butthead kind of guy (as long as it's about farts -- it's funny...), or if you want to get really highbrow, Dumb & Dumber.

Also, when watching another of the episodes (the one with the giant inflatable cock -- as it is described on the scene/episode menu), I could not help but be reminded of the conversation here about who coined what term. [Now, the spoiler space and the "reveal" of what episodes I'm talking about.]



FUNNY SCENE THAT MADE ME CHOKE ON MY TOOTHPASTE:

The one where the staff are in a training meeting to learn about customer care, and the training guy asks David to do some role-playing with him, where the trainer is to play an unhelpful hotel clerk, and David is the customer with a complaint.

Well, the part where David (after being rebuffed by the trainer in an attempt to file his complaint) blurts out -- "There's been a rape!" The total randomness of that (David's just GOT to "win") and the look of horror on the trainer's face -- OK, I'm laughing just thinking about it now -- good thing I'm not brushing my teeth.


SCENE BRINGING TO MIND THE FB's DISCUSSION OF TERM-COINAGE

David claims that he invented "Exsqueeze Me" instead of "Excuse Me" and "Wank you very much" and similar amusing comments.

The Yanks loss gave me renewed faith that the forces of good are still out there battling for us.

Dude, you are so cynical. Remember back to when life was just a bowl?

You have got to be kidding. The family already has lots of money, as was obvious from the stories about their house. So let's take a 15-year-old girl who was kidnapped and brainwashed into living as the second wife of a nutcase, and make some money by forcing her to keep reliving the experience. That's got to be good for her mental health.

I say we send the tanks north *NOW* while there's still time....
 

No kidding is he one of us. Not only is Dave the actor a Torontonian (more or less), but the character Dave was famously outed by Jimmy James and Lisa for being Canadian. Who can forget Andy Dick's brilliant snooping: "Dave, I'm doing a story on eggs benedict, and I forget all the ingredients . . . "

Battling for whom, the Phillies fans?

Truth to be told, I don't know a single Yankees fan who is all that upset with losing to the Fish. Once we beat the Sox, our season was a success.

Have you seen interviews with her dad? He's creepy. So creepy I'm not sure she didn't run away with this guy to avoid him--dad looks like he could sexually abuse his daugther. No surprise then that he'd be pulling media strings for exposure of this crime against his daughter.

Counterpoint
 

Yeah, and Ricky Gervais got that idea from me, as did Richard Lewis.

I made my friend watch a couple of episodes last weekeend, and he thought the show was really claustrophobic and was uncomforable watching it. Funny, I thought pot would enhance the viewing of the show.

What is taht scene where they have to state their fantasy? I think its part of that training episode. Gareth says something about two lesbians. sisters. he is just watching. And Tim says "I never thought Id say this but i would like to hear more from Gareth".

I heart gareth, and tim.

Good lord. You set your aspirations that low? After your quotes about 80 years and what not you would think the aim was something more. KInd of like the red sox fans want something more than not winning the world series.

No offense, but spoken like a true also-ran. I'm sure Steinbrenner doesn't feel the same way. What's the word out of New York? Is Torre in trouble?

Whatever gets you through the night.

How does someone "look" like they could sexually abuse their daughter?

This is a serious question since I don't recall ever seeing this man on tv.

Dude, you're livin in fantasyland.

No matter how rich you are, when the media gives you the stage, for good or bad reasons, you grab squeeze all the fast cash you can from the experience. Notwithstanding that your assumption that the Smarts are rich based solely on their home size is rEdiculous, unless they're insanely wealthy, why wouldn't they want more dough? Why not use a bad situation to pay for Lizzie's 4 yrs at BYU? I saw katie Couric throw some softballs at Liz this morning... the kid's seems fine. I say leave the kid in the picture.

Since Grady Little has been canned, Torre is safe. The Red Sox would sign him in an instant if Vader fired him, so Torre will stay.

I hate the Phillies. I hope they never win another game. Philly fans suck.

As to the Sox thing, bullshit. That rationalization is so fucking bad I'm going to pretend you didn't write it out of respect for you.

I was totally freaked out when I saw him talk about, and look at, his daugther shortly after she was returned. He gave me a very ooky feeling.

If you are Dainty P, please give it a fucking rest. The good news is that posts by the lamest sock ever have led me to investigate the use of this Ignore List feature. The bad news is that some posters continue to respond to this misadventure in socking.

Paigow please. Kill it.

1. Drooling and rubbing your inner thigh when discussing your missing daughter. Also, describing her as "5'5, blonde, thin build, subtle hips and pert young breasts" on television is not a good start.
