Teenage Dirtbag-Wheatus Naked Eye-Luscious Jackson Fade Into You-Mazzy Star The local station had a one-hit-wonder hour. All good songs.

I also think people might not have been rooting for the underdog on that one. I'm surprised Dead/Alive didn't do better. Maybe not so many people have seen it. I personally think it's a lot funnier than Shaun (and I love Shaun) The general horror movie tournament would be great. The Evil Deads would definitely get in there and tear shit up.

She's been nominated three times for a best actress Golden Globe. I think she a pretty damn fine actress, at least in Ghost World, LiT, Girl w/ a Pearl Earring, and the Man Who Wasn't There.

Yeah, Dawn.

The Sandman looks a lot like Rutger Hauer. Well, Rutger Hauer when he was younger.

I honestly thought Dead/Alive had a shot. it's funny, and actually a really sweet romantic comedy, on top of the vilest, goriest movie ever.

I will submit that Ween is the funniest band ever. God Ween Satan and the Pod are basically parodies of most genres rolled into two albums. The Pod is almost unlistenable unless you have an ear for parody, and songs like Let Me Lick Your Pussy and The Stallion parts 1& 2are just downright hilarious. Not to mention the whole chocolate and cheese album which is basically the funniest qhite funk album ever. It takes a ceratin taouch to be funny consistently. Ciccone Youth and Del's "If you Must" do it for me consistently. Also "A Boy named Sue." What songs/albums/artists crack you the fuck up? Let's try to steer clear of parody shit like Weird Al, though he sometimes comes up with a gem.

I hate Papa John's sugary-ass sauce.

At the Safeway near my house they've started to sell loaves of english muffin bread. I need to try that out.

You, know, I don't know a thing about this Roberts guy yet, and I'm pro-choice, but I think Roe V Wade is complete bullshit. If you look at the case, you'll see the same thing.

Maybe they're playing it close to the chest since Nintendo's been so quiet about the Revolution.

I don't hate the show, but it's gone downhill. A while ago in a Family Guy thread I expressed displeasure in a tendency for FG to occasionally just make a reference, play it straight, and expect it to be funny. I was especially annoyed by the interminable 'Stewie does Shatner doing Rocket Man' bit. Also the 'Sound of Music' song. I got both references, but they didn't make any jokes, no matter how small about it, and it wasn't funny to me. They're doing that more and more often, prime examples being the GI Joe and He-Man bits, and to a lesser extent the Herculoids bit. I get all the references, they're just not even really trying to do anything but say, "Hey! Remember this?!" I don't mind cutaway humor at all as long as they make JOKES.

BaseWars was awesome. (NES game) You had 4 types of robots (normal, tank, spider, hover) and you could upgrade tons and tons of their parts. Win games and you got money. In tagout situations, the robots fought. It was a bit easy, as if you were pretty good at the game, you could have a completely unstoppable team by season's end.

The human voice is essentially an instrument, so why hold it separate from everything else? Is Bjork's new album trash because it's all a capella? Guess it doesn't matter since you won't even listen to the music you deride. I think the only point to be made here is that it's marginally easier to make really bad rap than it is most other types of music, but who cares about really bad rap anyway?

Careful there. You don't want tourism in W.V. to plummet.

Doonesbury used to be a lot better, and yes, it's still a million times funnier than MF. I don't know how long MF has been running, but I doubt it's been going for 35 years. Also, Doonesbury's had a narrative, something that most political cartoons neglect. (most cartoons period, actually)

And that's why you always do your kegels.

Cemetary Man. Oh, it hurts to vote down NOTLD, but Cemetary man's really a very good movie.

Beat 'em and Eat 'em. I think a new Shadowrun could be the shit. Especially with someone like Black Isle at the helm.

Starbucks burns the fuck out of their eSpresso. It's just terribly overroasted. Hence their nickname Charbucks.

I've heard it on the local indie radio. It's pretty decent. I've never heard a Clash song covered that sounded as good as the original to me, though.

Well, the terrorists who have been threatening the civilized world ARE muslim extremists. Obviously that doesn't make all Muslims terrorists, but there IS a link, and to completely dismiss it is ignorant.

Man, they nominated Tambor for and Emmy, but not Arnett, Cross or Cera? Tambor didn't even DO anything this season (though I think he's a funny guy)

Also that destroying his enemies filed him with religious zeal. And all Muslims incidentally love ski-masks and camo, right? Fucking please.

Oh, and I hope Rescue Me gets a couple nominations. That show rules.
