TM
I've been thinking about this, and I asked myself WWTD? (What would Trent do?) The answer is . . . don't call. Just wait. And wait. And wait. Eventually she'll call. Even if she's not that into you now, she'll call. Do you know why? Because you're money. You're so money and you don't even know it.

WhY (I come from a place of many idiots, but not Texass) PD
texas's overall population is probably too large to be the per capita leader in number of idiots. if looking at the number of idiots per 100,000 population, the obvious leaders in per capita number of idiots would probably be a jurisdiction with low population. the value of one idiot to the per capita rate is much higher in a low population jurisdiction like wyoming or north dakota than a high population jurisdiction like california, texas, or florida.

as far as per capita leaders, my guess would north dakota, because i think you'd practically have to be an idiot to voluntarily live in north dakota.

Comments like "I thought we Japanese had the world's most cultivated palates, but this round-eye has really shown us that Americans are not all ruined by pork rinds and cheap beer.

on line time
 
OK gang, how much time do you think we adults spend on-line?

July 24 — Teens and young adults spend more time online than watching TV or talking on the phone, according to a new study from Yahoo! and ad agency Carat Interactive. THE INTERNET HAS passed television in the amount of time spent a week, the Web portal and media firm found in a report called “Born to Be Wired” released Thursday. Young people, ages 13-24, spend an average of 16.7 hours a week online, excluding e-mail, compared to 13.6 hours watching TV. After TV viewing, they listened to radio for 12 hours, talked on the phone for 7.7 hours and spent six hours reading books and magazines for personal entertainment.

reality TV a distant memory

I'd say I log closer to 25 hours/week.

I always wanted to name a band Gutter in honor of all the fucking stupid one-word band names that have come out in the last decade. I thought of that while sitting on/in (depending on who is telling the story) the gutter one night. Of course the members of my band Gutter would have to do some serious hard drugs.

there aren't any states with fewer than 100,000 people - its just a commonly used statistical measure when discussing rates in states to get a more accurate comparision for things like crime rates, percentage of illiterate people, etc. the smallest state is wyoming which only has about 500,000 people. so if there are 5 idiots in wyoming, the rate of idiots would be 1 per 100,000. for each million people in a state, it takes 10 idiots to reach a rate of 1 idiot per 100,000. since texas has over 20,000,000 residents, it would take 200 idiots just to reach a rate of 1 idiot per 100,000 people. thus to have an equal percentage of idiots, texas requires approximately 40 times more idiots than wyoming.

i don't think there is any minimum number of idiots per state - the question would be whether there are concentrations of idiots. however, in order to show a concentration of idiots, you must account for population. thus although there are many more reports of idiots (e.g. from darwin award winners, america's dumbest criminals, newspaper reports, etc.) from populous states it could simply reflect the higher population, rather than a concentration of idiots. if there is a concentration of idiots within a state, larger states are likely to balance it out with areas that are not as full of idiots. the introduction of the number of idiots per 100,000 rate would simply be an attempt to reach a true idiot rate rather than the number of idiots reported in the media.

There is a general rule, however, that there must be at least one idiot per village, so states with smaller towns will have a higher number of idiots. For example, my understanding is that Ohio elects it's village idiot Mayor, so in any number of large Ohio cities, the ratio is one idiot to a million or more people. In Wyoming, on the other hand, there are any number of towns with seven or eight residents all competing to be the village idiot.

Then one must throw in Utah and Nevada. What does one do where entire states are examples of mass insanity (albiet of very different types)?

FILM critics have branded J-Lo and Ben Affleck’s new film a “total disaster” which is destined to bomb at the box office.

Gigli has had reviewers sniggering in the aisles at the “laughable dialogue and ludicrous plot”.

In the film J-Lo plays a lesbian assassin who is seduced by hitman Affleck.

One critic said: “It has the feel of a straight to video film. There were a lot of rumours from the set that it was a terrible movie — and it is.”

The couple fell for each in real life while filming the movie.

But on screen, their sexual chemistry is said to be seriously lacking.

Another critic said: “Affleck is just totally miscast and J-Lo is just awful.”

In one scene J-Lo, 33, tries to seduce Affleck, 30, by laying on a bed and telling him: “It’s turkey time!”

When he asks: “What?”, she replies: “Come on, gobble, gobble”.

One reviewer said: “There was J-Lo with her legs wide open trying to look sexy and then she opens her mouth and spoils it!

“It was possibly the worst line ever said in a movie.”

The film has already undergone extensive reshooting after early previews showed audiences found the ending unbelievable.

But even J-Lo diehards will be disappointed. In the only sex scene she keeps her robe on.

And gay rights groups are incensed that J-Lo’s character starts off as a lesbian but goes straight — thanks to Affleck

Furious George is also the name of Vancouver's men's Ultimate Frisbee club, which I believe has won the World Club Championships at some point in the last few years. Speaking of that, there's an unofficial rule that every casual ultimate league has to have a team that wears purple and calls itself Purple Haze. I have played on a Purple Haze, as well as a Mass Confuscia. Favorite Ultimate team name, however, is North Bay's "Nads." (Their farm team was called "Suck My Bag"). If you've ever been to North Bay, you'd understand how appropriate this was.

In the future, please provide spoiler space for Gigli reviews -- not because I want to be surprised when I see it (which I definitely will not) but because, well, I just had some chips and they are suddenly trying to get back into the bag. :help2:

I can't imagine a black neighborhood where the right move is to call the cops for a bar fight. And I suspect if someone heard you calling 911, the fight would stop, the dj would pull the needle off the record, everyone would turn and look at you like you lost your mind right before you got bum rushed.
