  1. HOMES for the Great Lakes: Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior. Not in order, but easy to remember.

     

    4 out of 5 Great Lakes prefer Michigan, it does make them much easier to remember for us in the Magical Mitten.

     

    Although there are T-shirts here that refer to Erie as only "pretty good". And Ontario is "that one that doesn't touch Michigan"

  2. We have to accept the depressingly inevitable phenomenon of advertisers' resurrecting a generation's pop culture artifacts in order to sell shit as that generation passes through each of life's stages

     

    Well, now you kids know how we Boomers felt about Zeppelin songs in Cadillac commercials, Rolling Stones shilling Windows 95, etc etc etc

  3. Did today's case with the DuPont family make anybody else's head steam?

     

    Oh yes...I wish JJ had taken the opportunity to get crazy on them for parking in a handicapped zone. Not that the plaintiff should have done what he did because you just never know, but still. 

     

    So manly, kicking a guy when he's held down. Be proud, mom and dad! 

     

    I suspected she wasn't a real teacher, and am glad to have that confirmed. What a family of obnoxious entitled douchebags.

  4. I guess you have to be of a certain age to remember the sensation that was Thorn Birds, both book and miniseries. The casting made very little sense if you had read the books, and of course Richard Chamberlain wasn't "out", and yet...

     

    I remember loving the miniseries, and rewatching it about a year ago wondering why it was so much more amateurish than I remembered :)

     

    Also profoundly sad about the Strangelove clue being a TS.

  5. And I'm sure the Brits are forming a swell opinion of Americans based on watching JJ!

     

    Although I do have a pretty good idea what they think of us, considering I work for a British company with HQ in the northern  London burbs. Sadly, not in Slough :(

  6. Does it make me a really evil person that I am annoyed and creeped out by this commercial?http://www.ispot.tv/...lot-buddy-hollyMaybe they are trying to do the heartwarming sentimental stuff that Subaru does so well, not even close.

     

    I hate that commercial, too. What a lame family. Plus, why are they all singing some song I've never heard before (is it even a real song?). Hell, singing Row, row, row your boat would be more appealing.

     

    without looking, does anyone remember what vehicle this is advertising?

    bonus points, what does this ad have to do with that particular vehicle? You can't sing Weezer songs in a Fusion or a Sienna?

     

    I can't believe they spend ad dollars on such foolishness

  7. Umeboshi also came up on an episode of Robert Irvine's Dinner: Impossible

     

    there's also an episode of Chopped titled Oh my goshy Umeboshi.

     

    I can't believe the contestants didn't compulsively watch FN before they got on this show, you'd think you'd want to know what does well. And they would have known WTH umeboshi is.

  8. Although many of the litigants we see spend their lives striving to get something for nothing I guess it's just something I never wanted to do. Call me crazy, but I actually enjoyed being self-supporting.

     

    well, and if you listen to what kind of money these folks are actually living on--maybe 1-2 K a month--I say I enjoy having a higher standard of living than that.

     

    I feel sorry for those that must live on that kind of income, and maybe even MORE sorry for those who plot and scheme to get that gubmint pittance and think they are accomplishing something. They spend more energy figuring out how not to work than they would have on an honest job.
