Are you sure the rule isn't printed out in fine print on the inside? Maybe you should let me take a look.

Yes, he'll lose, though the effort will bring publicity to it which is more the point.

And hey, I'm blown away by being treated like a second class citizen, but I wanted to serve in the military. I however refused to due to the don't ask don't tell policy. I didn't feel the need to either lie or risk my life for a country that expected me to break the oaths it wanted me to take by forcing me to lie.

Many more gay people would serve if they got rid of the policy no doubt about it. And it is amazing the number of gay people who serve now. Especially lesbians I have noticed.

That's a tempting offer. I think, however, that is not the case and that any man would be so intimidated by my underwear's blazing tribute to the great and powerful "Chick's" that he would run and hide.

On another note, does it bother anyone else when someone uses the word "noontime"? Like "I'll call you around noontime" etc. What is noon if not time? Seems redundant and stupid.

IIRC, this is discussed by Coppolla in a documentary on the Godfather movies and may even be on his Director's commentary track on the DVD set... Internet Movie Database notes this is a running theme through all three movies, signifying death or a "close call" is imminent.

Can't remember who, but I think Clemenza or Tessio (Abe Vigoda) is also peeling an orange at one of the tables in the initial wedding reception scene.

One thing I remember from the commentary is that Coppolla likes to work at least one recipe into each of his movies so that if the movie stinks, at least the audience will get something out of it, i.e. Clemenza "frying sausage" after they "go to the mattresses" in the first movie.

I think Alison's story with her ex promises to be the most entertaining. Jun looks like she's going to be all sorts of fun. The older folks are going to be in trouble if the "vote off the ex" strategy falls apart. Oh, and when Erika was choosing that boyfriend, I think she shoulda kept on looking.

I predict the "vote off the ex" strategy lasts about until, um, now.
What was Alison's story? i was doing laundry and missed part. That she thought he changed when his sport ended and he thought she was always drunkand fighting with him?

The Asians should be intersting. You have the hideious wretched banana Jun who doesnt date her own fucking race bc of a fucking generalization (is there a term when you are racist against yourself?) and seems to think that she will never turn 33, and her ex who is so down with his race that I suspect he may be a korean mobster. She seems to think she is like oh so outside the finance box "hello! look at me!". Hate her but she got points for saying "boobilage".

As for the boobilage pilates lady, that ex of hers was hideous. Do we know what he does for a living? Bc it must iinvolve cash if he thinks he is entitled to cheat on a fit, tan, fake titter.

I lament the fact that there is not a single hottie in the house. That guy from OK is clearly a closeted gay man NTTAWWT and he was the only potential cutie. Points for him for negging Jun when she asked to share his bed and he wanted to wait to see if he could do better (does this make him gay or just make him someone with taste?). I miss Roddy already. I dont have high hopes for this cast outside of the Asian couple.

That might be a glitch -- do you mean the window opens but only your existing PMs show up? That happens to me. If so, just go to the "Go ... read" link in the private message box on the left side of the screen (outside the window), and it should refresh and the new PM will show up.

The other possibility is the sender cancelled the msg before you read it.

Well put. I didn't watch more than 5 minutes of BB4 (I was continuing my CYE education via HBO On Demand) but that ex of hers was the ugliest man I have ever seen on television. The forehead, the teeth, the horror!

Hey, since you were complaining it just showed threads and not posts, seems kind of logical, no? :P

By the by, I'm looking into changing the default so it automatically chooses show as posts instead.

I like this show better and better each week, and last night was no exception. I liked the fact that they're giving props to one another, and that they seemed genuinely upset to see someone go.

I can also understand why everyone was so pissed off that Dat won the exemption. I don't think I've seen him say or do anything that was particularly funny. Everyone else is generally pretty funny in situ, but Dat was right to pray for an exemption. I can't believe he waited for nearly an hour during the hide-and-go-seek.

I was as amazed as Rich Vos about Ralphie's girlfriend.

Given that everyone pretty much likes everyone else, I think the seniority challenge is a good way to go. I liked Rob Cantrell's bit, but Ralphie was clearly funnier. Everyone was very impressed with the way he went out, and I think that once Rob polishes his act a bit, he'll do very well. You could tell that he was fairly nervous, but he did Ok. The godfather thing with Rich at the end was funny.

My guess is that Dat will be the next to go, and if he's smart, he'll go head to head with Geoff, who is also on thin ice.

So, is Ralphie rich or something? His girlfriend was shockingly attractive.

My humor meter must be calibrated differently because the part of Rob's set they showed was really funny, while Ralphie's was not so great.

These are still incredibly unlikable people. It's almost painful to watch their interactions. Once it gets down to the five, it's going to get really ugly. Cory will not know what hit her.

Although Ralphie was much more polished, I thought Rob was pretty funny. I didn't expect the vote to be so one-sided.

Dat's too serious, and I'm sure he is the least funny of the remaining comics in a sitting-around-the-house bullshitting kind of way. His stand-up is funny, though. I think the NY crew could be in for a surprise if they pick him next week (and I think they will).

I missed the first two weeks. The first half of the show, the comics are working for exemptions. Last week they had to bring their own audience (i.e. recruit random people on the street in Venice Beach) to a comedy show later that day. Apparently this is something very new comics have to do when they're starting out. Tess won that exemption. This week, they had to pitch a sit-com to a focus group, and the focus group got to decide which pitch was the best idea. Dat, the only comic who has admitted to wanting to be on a sit-com, won the exemption. In the second half of the show, the comics challenge (each comic states affirmatively that he or she knows that he or she is funnier than another comic) one another, and the person who gets the most challenges gets to go head to head with any one of the comics that challenged em. The challenger and challengee do their acts in front of a live audience, who votes to decide which one is funnier. The loser goes home.

Dat is funny on stage, and I agree with Ollie that he may prove tougher to oust than the coalition thinks, but he's an unfunny person on his off time. Last week he showed the group his journal, complete with graphics, that noted each routine that he's done over the years, how many laughs each joke got, and how long the audience laughed. He was completely serious.
