  1. My mom (who is, in fact, diabetic) says "diabeetus" the Brimley way. But then one wonders if she just learned it from his ads...
  2. Pfft, there's a million bands that do that. It's almost become more original not to do it.
  3. You know what's worse than that? The reason it's company policy is that it often works. Think about that. And what drive thru has churros anyway? I love those things.
  4. "Fade to Black" easily.
  5. Try going on a diet of apple cores and shredded newspaper. They provide much needed roughage and essential inks.
  6. It looked terrible, I would have been surprised if it did any better.
  7. I was exercising too, though.
  8. Hm, that was a while ago... probably around 6 months. I'm getting ready to drop some more weight myself. Not going to do any equations, just going to dive in and do it like I did before. Rule number one: put down the damn bottle!
  9. I love "Dr. Feelgood"!
  10. Meh, it all depends. I went on a 1400 calorie a day diet and lost 60 pounds. Kept it off too, until I lost my job and started drinking a quart of vodka a day. Gained back 30. Then I lost 15 of that. Solve for X.
  11. Just imagining the shit I thought was cool at around 10-11 years old is mind numbing. At I think 9, I wanted to legally change my name to Ryu. But, in truth, I would still be happy with that to this day.
  12. That's what I thought at first, but then you responded to it as if it was real. That's like someone who just lies and then says "I was being sarcastic!" There's a difference.
  13. Laurie was her name.
  14. One of my backpacks has a patch on it with Tinkerbell that says "What are you looking at?" But when I do it, it's cute.
  15. Clearly a joke, Bob. Happy ending which really aren't. ^Good article. Seems like I praise cracked.com a lot on here, but those really are some pretty good points.
  16. I almost always like the book better too. It's just that while The Shining, Stephen King's third novel, written back when he had a drinking problem and was a new father (what the story is an allegory for) is indeed a great book, the movie is basically perfect, one of those seminal achievements in film. I guess you don't agree. While I would easily rank The Shining very near the top of a list of my favorite movies, the book is just one great book among many. JAWS is another example of a movie just being more than a movie, it's a work of art. And that was a pretty good book too (albeit gross and exploitative), but it's just not the same. Re: The Shining miniseries, it's pretty crappy. I mean, we're going to compare Jack Nicholson to fucking Steven Weber? From Wings? C'mon. And even Melvin Van Peebles, who I love, is no Scatman Carothers. And the kid was annoying. That's just the cast, saying nothing of the constraints of television, effects, cinematography... I mean, what about all that steadicam stuff? Anyway... I do own The Shining miniseries dvd. It's worth it for the Stephen King commentary (yeah, it's a full length commentary). As a fan of the guy, it's pretty fascinating.
  17. That was more directed towards preferring the mini series. It is a great book, but if you find the movie dull, I don't know what to tell you. Art being subjective and all. I can point out that you are very much in the minority in not liking the movie. Hell, the burden of proof is on you.
  18. God don't make no trash!
  19. He was trying to import some James Bond novels from England because he liked the covers better, I remember that. Meh... I did that for Harry Potter. But at least in that case, the content was different.
  20. Taken under consideration. Wellesley wellesley wellesley, if the darling city fathers haven't deigned to cluck their tongues, and stroke their beards, and talk about "What's to be done with this posting in the gulag?" Jag offs.
  21. Lon Chaney Sr. was born Leonidas Frank Chaney. I collect awesome names, it's something of a hobby. That's one of my favorites. Jr. was Creighton Tull Chaney.
  22. Can't do it. I can't view my friends in a sexual context no matter how hot they are. I mean, sure, I can jerk off thinking about them (and trust me, if you are female, and I know you, I have), but it's just not the same as actually lusting after them.
