Welcome.  I wanted Patrick Kennedy.  You will have to do. 

You will always be Jenn Jiss to me BTW.

We're on "vacation" in Seattle and I saw a button at Golden Age Collectibles that reminded me of Ace of Spades (and Mel Gibson) it said "Sure I'll help you, but first will you blow me?"

But now, thanks to The Starship Size Comparison Chart You can put those tiresome arguments to rest and return to the bar with it in hand and scream “starship envy!” into their faces.

I've got to say that comparison chart kind of sucks.  I've seen another one that might not be up to date with sci-fi shows but I've seen one that went up to a larger scale, including the Death Stars and the big giant thing from Halo.  You could also click and move them around to better compare.  I'll see if I can find it.

I feel like a chick who was nowhere near finished...that's it?

I'm surprised, because I never realized that people actually read the ONT.

/jk

I almost slept through the ONT!

Keith Morrison's voice will do that to me. Love that guy.

Oh I would love to read that!

Oh, I almost forgot, following up on the epic banana man exposing himself from yesterday, today there was a man with no pants wielding a sword (not that one guys, a real one) in the local news. I guess he was arrested too.

Um, I hate to bring this up, but I was told today that Rush claimed that The Birth Certificate had been released.

My recollection is that what was released was a statement by the Secy of State (or whoever) of Hawaii certifying that she had seen it and he was born in Hawaii.  Also a copy of the certificate of live birth.  But not the birth certificate. 

No, he supposedly made this claim today.  Did anyone here actually listen to the show today?

From a commentor over on doubleplusundead:

The Vietnamese have a term, Xin Loi, which literally is "sorry about that".  In GI usage the phrase "Xin Loi Mother Fucker" is a precise compression of eddiebear's comments down to six syllables. Guaranteed to relieve stress while semi-befuddling the recipient.

yep, one of the best films based on that story.

I took my semi-unsmart elderly mother to see "The Expendables" today, because she falls asleep if something doesn't blow up or die every three minutes.

She stayed awake through this one. Not particularly steeped in reality, but shit dies and blows up. A lot.

Took her to see "Inception", which I thought was very well done and smart, and she went down like Britney Spears trapped in a bag of dicks.

You killed my buzz with that crap....Where my welfare check at? Shep Smith peeing himself about the dead guy on the bridge. Yep, that is going to be a circle jerk to end all circle jerks.

TO is. Ocho is just an attention whore. I can't help but like the guy though. He's one of the few players that actually keeps his nose clean (and doesn't get arrested for providing liquor to minors a la Chris Henry. Not that we have to worry about him anymore....) . He does a lot for charity (a lot behind the scenes when he's not being all famewhorey). Like this.

I think it's a word they made up for the commercial because he couldn't get away with jackass.

Jackass isn't a curse word.

He turn to her, looks her in the eyes and say “Now you owe me……GO MAKE ME A SAMMITCH!”

I donÂ’t think either one of them understood why Dad was laughing so hard.

Priceless.

I remember and episode of Nightstalker waaaay back in the seventies,  that was set in the underground of Seattle.  Damn, that was a good show.

Yes, we learned that the show filmed an episode there, with Gavin Macleod. There is a red tufted velvet bench down there left from the set of the show.

Depends on the fund chemjeff, some of them are sold as ETF's which means you can buy shares of the fund. Others let you pick funds within a fund like T Row Price and you can't do it with them.

 What's your preference for day/time?  I'm thinking either next Friday night, Saturday afternoon/evening or Sunday afternoon/evening.

Sweet...live draft. Takes away my ability to blame something, but cool nonetheless. I'm good with any of those. Just let me know, and I'll be there.

Kick ass. Moron Fantasy.

This is an interesting phenomenon in that it used to be common. In old Europe, the Monarch would spend taxes on important things - the military, roads, etc AND things like flunkies and entertainment. When money was short, rather then cutting off the flunkies and ice sculptures, the Monarch would stop paying non-connected creditors and businesses. 

Good choice.  If you take the total body count in that movie, it averages out to someone dying about every three seconds.  Often by being blown up.

That long, huh? Surprising. Gotta love the hand cannon that Terry Crews was implementing with much success. The special effects were campy, especially at the end when Stallone killed Bruce Willis with Arnold's severed head.

No........but if she had turned and said "go get your shinebox, cockholster"

I could have died a happy man, right at that point.

Yeah it's a bitch , the problem with that is that your fund won't be priced until after the market closes. Which means after the dive.

You just switched jobs you could probably roll your IRA over into something you can manage yourself more.

The special effects were campy, especially at the end when Stallone killed Bruce Willis with Arnold's severed head.

Yeah, but you have to admit that it was pretty cool when the disembodied Arnold-head said "Get ready for a surpriiiiiiiiiise!!!" and blew up in Stallone's hands.

Ah, nevermind...the answer is in the FAQ:

But what about the Death Star? ThatÂ’s too obvious to miss!
First, the Death Star is so frigginÂ’ huge that it doesnÂ’t fit on even the largest chart IÂ’ve made. And thatÂ’s even for the low-ball estimate of the size, which brings me to my second point: No one can agree just how big the Death Stars actually were, so thereÂ’s no point in doing their sizes.

Saw him at the SM Civic about a thousand years ago.  Very cool.  He sat himself down on the drum riser, put his guitar on his lap and played it like a pedal steel.  Played the crap outta that guitar.  My friend had brought some Swedish (or other random scandi) guys and they kept calling him "Sawa."  We always called him that afterwards.  That chick he had was very cool, too.

 True, but the bubonic plague hasn't been eliminated. Who knows, there might be somewhere in some little town somewhere that has it (smallpox or the plague) but everyone there is immune to it. All it takes is one person to pass it on.

It was kind of a facetious joke - but TB is a real worry.

Another pretty kick ass Kurt Russell movie is Executive Decision.

Mid 90s flic, 1995 I think.  This was before it was politically incorrect to show Muslims as blood thirsty maniacs.  True Lies came out in 1994 and portrayed the muzzies the same way.

Once they kill 3200 odd people on American soil, Hollywood makes all the foreign lunatics Eastern Euro Nazis.

Hmm... I really should know better and just turn the set off...

Nahhh...

Russell played a corrupt LAPD cop in Dark Blue.  He was great as a crooked cop who rationalizes his actions, but the film itself was just average.  A bit PC as well.

Kit was at Universal, still. But the highlight was when I really worked-up my 3-year-old sister before we got to Jaws, so she was freaked out, hid under the seat and screamed bloody murder.  It didn't help that we sat in the back of the tram where Jaws actually comes up.  Oh, it was epic.

Pretty much. Turing machines, insomniacs, aliens, that kind of thing.

The prosecutor's office in Stockholm issued a brief statement saying it "confirms media reports that a foreign citizen has been arrested in absentia" but didn't name Assange.

"The arrest refers to two separate events, one complaint of molestation and one complaint of rape," the statement said.

"The person is arrested in absentia, as there is a risk that he could obstruct the investigation," it said.

Expressen said prosecutor Maria Haljebo Kjellstrand confirmed that Assange, who is an Australian citizen, was the person sought on the warrant. Haljebo Kjellstrand could not be reached for comment Saturday. The prosecutor's office said all information related to the case would be posted on its website.

No, because what makes 666 so bad is that its a double whammy.  Not only does it use 6 but there are 3 of them and 3 is half of 6 making it bad too.  So I think the opposite of 666 would only be 7
