Don't you mean to add "But thanks for playing"?

Acute cocaine highness
 

Still, a month or more to get a toxicology report? That wouldn't fly on CSI would it?

Which is really wierd, because any reference to dead musicians usually prompts the cliched "what I'm listening to right now" poll.

We've just set a new record in board killing, at more than an hour without a new post on the FB.

For a change in subject:

To what new music are you listening?

I think this photo is more Pushy-like:

That is so creepy.

Currently, I'm listening to GAs and GPs make unreasonable demands on my time and resources. It's not one of my favorites, but unfortunately it usually stays in the Top 5 of things I listened to today at work.

Speaking of which, anyone know how XM radio works in interior offices?

Murderer!
 

Joss Stone, The Soul Sessions
(She's the 16 yo Brit who was supposed to be the next Britney Spears before hooking up with Betty Wright and ?uestlove.)

The Bad Plus, These Are the Vistas

The Postal Service, Give Up

Blur, Think Tank

You are so right. I stand corrected. Pushy also has a new game.

Is my vision going? I cannot see the note that I am sure must be there. The note that says "As long as you do not breed."

I think that looks more like Fez from "That Seventies Show."

Those eyes are just creepy. I wonder how easy they are to detach from the head? Maybe there could be a new craze, collecting pushy puppy eyeballs.

Murderer!
 

Travis, 12 Memories

Tim Locke's new (soon to be released)* CD

Who is Tim Locke, you ask? Here's a story about him -- http://www.fwweekly.com/issues/2003-09-03/music.html


*How's that for scoop?
Maybe I AM the PLF of 2004.

What is this "interior office" of which you speak?

Probably not well. My Sirius dies inside my parking garage (well, at the north end of it.)

E/O True to Form
 

Did I call it or what?

The current cage I am working in.

NFH breaks the Board
 

Wow. Not the re line I was hoping to see. I would really like to have seen "NFH wins the lotto, tells off boss and snotty co-workers - retires to Hawaii."

But hey, this is what happens when you people take your 2 hour lunches all at the same time. I'm going to have to institute a policy now that all lunches be staggered.

NFH breaks the Board
 

You should ask to be moved to a Secret Garden. You get much more work done when the only bars you see are the ones you go to after work.

Murderer!
 

With the key difference being that Joss Stone has a really good voice. Good stuff.

NFH breaks the Board
 

Cool. I haven't staggered back from a lunch in a long time. We kinda have policies discouraging that sort of thing these days.

Murderer!
 

At the moment, Marvin Gaye's greatest hits. To be followed by Thelonius Monk and Sonny Rollins, The Way You Look Tonight.

Our Very Own Pushy Wins the Lotto
 

Can someone explain to me how this show has remained on the air since 1998?

In related news, "Arrested Development" has surpassed "The Simpsons" as the funniest series on broadcast TV.

Speaking of Joss, the producers of "Angel" have mebbe a week before I tell them to go fuck themselves.

NFH breaks the Board
 

Really? In writing? Or unofficial?
And is it the staggering or the stuff that causes the staggering? Because that could include spinning really fast in your chair.



ETA picture of a whiteout.

That CD is good for background music.

Otherwise, it is a utter bore - it literally lulled me to sleep in my friend's car.

Our Very Own Pushy Wins the Lotto
 

What is the difference between broadcast TV and any other kind of TV? Is it different from cable TV or satellite TV - aren't they all broadcast in some form or another?

(this is a serious question. I assume if Atticus considered the show to be the funniest on TV he would say so instead of qualifying it.)

NFH breaks the Board
 

Are we back to spinning hippy chicks? I was afraid that I'd missed something being away from the board for a while.

Murderer!
 

While waiting for that Japenese crap discussed yesterday to arrive, I'm stuck with
Ryan Adams - Rock N Roll
Jet - Get Born
Jay Z - Black Album
The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
and not super new, but awesome all the same:
The Flaming Lips - Fight Test Japenese EP with covers of Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out of My Head" and Radiohead's "Knives Out"

NFH breaks the Board
 

Cool pic.

And yes, the no staggering policy is written. It's in the same chapter as the no fun at parties and the no frilly knickers rules.

NFH breaks the Board
 

Damn. Someday I should read that manual. And the no fun at parties is just a given.

Orlando Bloom is DOOGIE HOWSER:

Seriously, is there a site where I can post pics of celebs that doesn't prevent me from copying and pasting here?

Fav. Line of last episode: I'm looking for something that says "Daddy likes Leather"

One of my Christmakah wishes is for a back-story episode on the courtship and wedding of Tobias and Lindsay Fulke.

The writing on Arrested Development could not possibly be funnier, and everyone's comic instincts are so dead on.

And, as my wife notes, the makeup job they're doing on Liza Minelli is incredible because she hasn't looked this good in years.

"Broadcast" to me means stuff transmitted over-the-air, so everything on VHF or UHF is broadcast. I guess I could have used "network television" instead, but by your reasoning a satellite broadcast would be a network, too. Contrast with "cable channels," which still means something to the people at the ACE awards. At least, it's a source of self-deprecating jokes by Jon Stewart on one of the cable news shows.

Our Very Own Pushy Wins the Lotto
 

Agreed, but it's Funke. I think the names (George, Michael, George Michael, GOB, Maebe Funke) are one of the best parts about the show. The TV writer for our local paper said the "GOB" joke would get funnier over time, and he was right --- it does.

I think the fake teasers at the end of the show are also really funny, but they were used on "Reno 911" first.

The lawyer characters were both hi-lar-i-ous. "I've used exactly one adjective to describe myself. What was it?" "Professional." "Exactly."

I would definitely do a three-way with MTM and the woman who plays Lucille Bluth.

It ain't a whiteout so long as you can still see the blue in the Bills uniforms.

Blizzard of '77 whiteouts were cool too (of course, I was only 6 going on 7 when we were blessed with that one)

Satellite is also not "broadcast" for some strange FCC reason. Dunno why, but it's not.

Why are you pissed at Whedon? Angel's been on break so it can't have been misbehaving. Or is it the long break that is pissing you off? I have some vague idea that the next new episode is the 14th.

Our Very Own Pushy Wins the Lotto
 

I was worried that I'd missed something. Is it just the hiatus? I much prefer a long winter hiatus to a long spring hiatus. The weeks from February sweeps until mid-April without new shows suck majorly.

This has got to be up towards the top of the list.

(yahoo news article on Christian nudist colony)

From what I've seen on HBO's Real Sex series, the only people who visit nudist colonies are people you'd never ever want to see naked in the first place. I can't imagine the religious element raises the bar any. Is this one of those faith-based initiatives that we keep hearing about?

Arrested Development
 

Three things about the show that astonish me:
Jason Bateman is hilarious and hot.
Liza Minelli is intentionally hilarious.
Portia de Rossi is competent.

Angel scheduling - skip if bored
 

Yeah, hiatus, it's been a fairly long one. However, it coincided nicely with my schedule going all to hell, so it meant I haven't missed anything and therefore I've not been annoyed by it.

Britney is Officially Free
 

JANUARY 5--Two hours after Britney Spears petitioned a Nevada court this morning for an annulment of her quickie nuptials, a Las Vegas judge granted the singer's request, effectively erasing a marriage that was shorter than one of Spears's pub crawls. The annulment order was signed by Clark County District Court Judge Lisa Brown.
