I think that Blazer needs to run a blog of his own, which he can edit; before he thinks of going into another blog's comment threads, where he posts stuff he can't edit.

When he gets practice at that, he'll have learnt how to apply that little filter which keeps most of us from saying the shit we really shouldn't say.

Also, if alcohol is to blame for some of this mess, then he should drink less of it. I'm actually hoping that it's not, because addiction is one motherfucker of a gorilla to have on one's back.

What'd he do, for crying out loud?

PGIS,  I have never been offended by the boob talk or attributed the moniker "attention whore" to you or any of the Morons or Moronettes.  I think of this place as being like hanging out with friends at  a bar.  While having a drink,  everyone jostles to get a word into the conversation, while their opinion is topical.  If you wait too long everyone has moved on.  Also, new topics are continously thrown out.  Some peak others interests, Most don't.  It takes a while, not to get so much the rules but the flow of the haunt. 

When the mood takes a turn for the decidely dark, as when someone decides to rag on blacks or Jews,  I don't like it and duck out for a while.  I am genuinely dissappointed when someone, whose opinions have earned my respect,  spouts some hateful gibberish and gets their ass deservedly booted and banned.  It is also disturbing when Ace gets into a very dark place and stomps about eviserating all who disagree with him, even though the vast morjority of the M & M's including myself hold him in high regard. 

I like the soft side you ladies bring to the place.  Without you we men devolve into dirty, vulgar cave dwellers.

Very lucky! I'll probably have already sewn up a first round playoff bye before Week 11, so I might be resting my starters.

PEORIA, Ill. — Caterpillar Inc.., the world's largest maker of construction and other heavy machinery, said Thursday it will build a hydraulic excavator manufacturing facility in Victoria, Texas, that will employ more than 500 workers.

The facility will triple Caterpillar's hydraulic excavator production capacity in the U.S., and double the number of Caterpillar's U.S. employees making excavators. Construction on the 600,000-square-foot structure will begin next month, with production expected to start in mid-2012.

My son and I were in Seattle at a hotel the last two nights for our annual trip and my neighbors were watching the place. Apparently last night they saw a light on they hadn’t seen before and knew I wasn’t home yet and called the non emergency number and a couple of police officers came out and my neighbor let them in to make sure everything was OK. I told my son that when they saw the mess he’s made of the family room they probably went “Holy crap, call for back-up the place has been tossed”. He didn’t think it was funny. But, there was no bad guy lurking in my house turning on random lights, all was well.

So, the light that was on, here is the funny thing, it is a new solar wind chime a friend gave me last month for my birthday. I couldnÂ’t find the on/off switch so it hasnÂ’t been on, well the other day it blew down from its hook, the cover popped open and there was the on/off switch. So, I turned it on, hung it back up outside and went on my merry way. This being Seattle, it took a few days for it to be solar charged and apparently it came on last night for the first time. It changes color too. It must look really strange from my neighborÂ’s place. It is hanging right next to the window into my family room so from their place it definitely wouldÂ’ve looked like a light on inside.

That happened to me once too and I felt the same way even though I don't think they rifled through my things.  I had set my alarm, then accidentally didn't close the door all of the way.  My alarm company's policy is to call my house if the alarm goes off.  I had driven off before the alarm sounded, so they sent the police when I didn't answer their call.  The cops left a note saying they'd been in my house.

for the most part, when the hateful shit starts, it gets nipped out pretty fast by other posters, then the co-bloggers come down hard to end it

as far as ace, i think he puts up with alot of crap and is nicer than i would be, plus i think alot of people forget this but in the conservative base, i think ace is a powerhouse, i'd bet some leaders in the rnc read this blog and i know alot of radio hosts do.  therefore ace is the man

or am i just babbling?

Spreads usually show up on Tuesday, you know after the Monday night game, and then it can change each day, with the final one being Thursday usually, you know except for when the Thursday night games start in November.  So the spread shows up on Tuesday and is finalized by Thursday.

I hope that company is better than they were several years ago.  _{Fucking bastards...}

On our vacation in Seattle we went up to the observation deck at Smith Tower, which was the tallest skyscraper west of the Mississippi when it was built until, well hell forgot when the until was.

For those Seattle morons who havenÂ’t done it, itÂ’s a fairly cool view. Of course I still am having vertigo, which is just not a fun feeling on top of a skyscraper, even one that is only 35 stories! Luckily the walkway is totally caged in.

The elevator operator let my son run the elevator on the way back down, though he was a bit spooked after she pointed out to him the rather large gap between the floor and the elevator car and how you could see all the way down 35 stories to the basement.

Typically it only fluctuates a point or two.  But sometimes they're not listed for whatever reason due to issues with the match up like certain injuries.  I mean a point spread for a patriots game is going to be very different if Tom Brady is injured for the game.

But yeah by thursday they're finalized and you can make changes up until like 5 minutes before kick off I think? As long as the moderators set them up for that.  So you know if you think you can skirt that line between Jay Glazer's "is he playing or not" report and kick off on sunday go ahead and give it a shot.

I dropped my baby off for his freshman year of college yesterday. Went off without a hitch except for my husband acting unnaturally chipper to keep me from blubbering.

I cried all night the night before. When he got up, I told him I couldn't believe he laid there sleeping while I was suffering. (It gave him a good laugh).

There were some seriously dorky kids there but the stupidest looking ones were sporting faux-hawks. Really, how fucked up do you want to look on your first day at a new school?

Hell, Barry would never pass a background check.  The only reason he has top clearance is because of being voted in.  I shudder to think what the FBI and CIA guys know about him.  What we DO know is bad enough.

I've been watching all those James Brooks "Connections" that were linked on the ONT the other night. Fantastic/addictive. (197

My choice tonight, episode 7, explained that global cooling and warming were caused by sunspots. Too funny. Not a hint of carbon dioxide paranoia.

Highly recommended.

I went into a small liberal arts college voting for Reagan and left 4 years later campaigning for Dukakis. Yeah, they probably are bastions of evil.

I think I left my "weird engineering college" more aware than not. Some kids who are sheltered when they're younger choose to rebel when they have the chance, & I witnessed some of that.

No because women I work with are wearing the same clothes they wore two years ago! New clothes are the last thing to buy in a shitty economy.

Posted by: M80sB at August 21, 2010 11:51 PM (Yq+qN)

Yes.  Let me think back to the plot....  It wasn't bad.  The parallel between the old guys and the youngsters was kind of nice.  I will admit to a teeny crush on Gus and for some reason, this week's episode screamed Gus.  The actual murder plot was so/so.  It was more fun watching the rivalry than anything.  I think that whoever said it was right - Shawn's turned more into an idiot than a smart guy pretending to be stupid.  That sucks.

I kind of like the UFO episode better.  Minor quibbles, as usual, but it was fun and geeky.  Predictable in the actual mystery (guessed it very quickly).

OH.  As far as good shows go, Warehouse 13 is pretty good.  Better than Eureka now that they've gone into dumbass territory.

Planning is key.  You have to start liquidating in advance, and moving it quietly out in the largest amounts that are not reported to the IRS.  There are still a few places left in the world that will hide your money.  Liquidate it, hide it, bug out, renounce citizenship, and then retrieve it.  It helps to know the right people.  From what I've read the US can refuse to acknowledge your renunciation, but unless they know they can get a lot of money out of you I doubt they will bother.  It also helps not to be a big fish.

The hard thing for any conservative is to take on the law-breaker mentality required, and to treat the government as what it is - THE ENEMY.

It seems they reached the pinacle of popularity & ratings at the end of last season. I honestly haven't watched as much this season because of what you noticed, & Shawn doesn't even try to pretend he's psychic anymore. He still has great observation & deduction skills (forgot the word for that), but I think it's harder for him to say that they're strictly "psychic". Though the rivalry plot sounds interesting, I must say. Think I'm going to give it a try.

Thanks.  This thread is humming along tonight.  I'd prefer to park within walking distance of the Capital/ Lincoln Memorial.  I hate worrying about time limits though.  I may want to pass out under the Washington Monument, and would prefer to not have to worry about getting back to the parking garage by 11.

Does the NuvaRing work on 'ginahands?

I don't have ovaries, so no worries there. Getting myself pregnant would produce some interesting little gators. Think Predator monster with a lot of hair.

Is that the "tolerance for other lifestyles" or the "respect for other cultures"?

It was the "I already know everything about you because you're a white male from Georgia, but don't you dare stereotype me, you misogynistic, racist, homophobic, xenophobic, jingoist rapist! If you do I'll unleash hell and try to get you kicked out of school for hate speech!"

That.

468 Miss 80's - is Good Guys that Fox show set in Dallas?  If it's the one I'm thinking of, I couldn't take the fake Texas accents (you're from Houston, right?), and didn't like that they shoot it in all of the ugly parts of town.  Only watched one or two episodes though, so maybe it got better.

IMDB says it is.

Yeah, most people in Houston don't have Texas accents; they either have neutral or foreign ones. Though Houston doesn't have as much Southern influence as it once did, so I think that's of it.

Show I watched one episode of this season was Covert Affairs, mainly because I was interested in her guy friend & b/c I'm a fan of Anne Dudek. It was actually better than I thought, but not worthwhile.

I am so glad that I am not alone in this.  Her singing is atrocious as well.  Very forced.  Gomez is far more appealing.

Disney's really getting to me with this Camp Rock thing.  All the good and talented people are shoved into the background to make way for Demi and Jonas.  The first one sucked (obligatory minority girl wins the contest, just like Bring it On!), so why would #2 be any more worthy of attention?

White Collar would be better if they'd just get the Kate shit over with.  It was annoying when she was alive... now it's almost worse while she's "dead."

Posted by: M80sB at August 22, 2010 12:10 AM (Yq+qN)

I like Covert Affairs, but they need to get rid of that godawful title sequence, stat!  It needs something slicker and tailored to it.  They should hire whoever did White Collar's.  Or make an 80s inspired one like io9's Firefly masterpieces.

And yes, I watch Covert Affairs strictly for Christopher Gorham.  I'll watch anything with him, ever since Jake 2.0.  Pet peeve: His line about "kitten heels," was wrong, though.  Skyscraper heels that cost an arm and a leg are nowhere near kitten heels.  Whoever wrote that line needs some more research.

529 504 It's hanging on.  He is toning down the psychic parts, which actually works a tiny bit. I actually think that this season is a little better than last season.  I'm still giving it a chance.  It hasn't been as horrible as Burn Notice, which I've just taken to deleting off the DVR.

That actually sounds rather intriguing. I rather liked parts of last season, but it seemed they either had really high points or incredibly low ones. (They tailed-off @ the end until the big Hitchcock finale, IMO.) I've also heard they're trying to dig into the characters' parts more, which I think might explain some things. But few shows have been better in their 5th season than in the 1st, you know?

It’s weird being in elementary school again (figuratively speaking). There are the same “types” of kids as when we were little. Sometimes I just want to laugh and tell the little diva girls that after high school they won’t be “all that” anymore so enjoy it while they can. And then I want to hug the victim girls that the divas sharpen their vicious claws on.

And yes, I watch Covert Affairs strictly for Christopher Gorham.

Like him too, and I really loved the hot Mossad agent they paired the main character up with a couple episodes ago (just watched it, a little behind on my DVR).

562 People in Dallas have no discernable accent either these days, unless they come from smaller towns in Tx.  But Hollywood thinks they do and rarely gets it right.  Maybe nobody else really notices but I grew up here and it bugs me.

Really? I heard some accents where we lived (for 7.5yrs) on the outskirts of Plano, but it was "more country". That particular area was actually more of a farming community until the population explosion. But I agree, H-wood tends to stereotype, esp. when it comes to Texas. I can only imagine the fun they'd have with East TX & the accents & customs here.

I like Covert Affairs. They haven’t made her into some sort of “super spy” or anything, she makes so many mistakes, but in the end everything turns out OK. Also, I like the story arc of her lost love, and how he hooks in to the CIA. I think the speed they are developing it is good too, better than Rubicon which is taking forever to let the story unwind.

Very true.  I always say that a show shouldn't last past three seasons.  That seems to be the magic number.  Most shows I liked never made it past one season (or a season and a half).  If they make it to three, they'll start going down the crapper in #4.

We (in my household) noticed that they seem to have moved Shawn's dad into the police station to save on sets.  No more visits to the inside of his house.  Kind of sad.

As to the last season, I will agree with the hig/low dichotomy.  I especially hated the serial killer addition with yin/yang and how there's a second one.  Overarching plot points with big bads are just terrible.  (Don't get me started on Monk's big finale...)

There was "a kid" in my elementary school that would freak out and run home if he saw cheese.

How old were you when you finally got over that phobia?

We watch Good Luck Charlie. I donÂ’t really like it; I mean it is typical cheese, nothing really wrong with it I guess, just not my cup of tea.

The baby is cute. IÂ’m kind of confused that there is only one child playing the baby; I always thought they had to get twins to play babies because of child labor laws and stuff.

The baby gets shown so rarely, I think they don't need twins.  As to the show itself: eh.  It doesn't really hit.  I don't like it enough to tape it.  The only episode that I've liked so far was the first kiss episode - because of the ending where she couldn't stop smiling.  Identifiable.

Everyone?

What the bloody hell is that?!?!?!?!

Okay I think I'll amend my previous assertion.

OK, here’s the thing about Camp Rock, Disney has had non-stop commercials for it all summer, I mean all fucking summer. There’ve been little mini sneak peeks and music videos and stupid bleg like the “green set” bullshit. Just show the fucking movie already Disney, I am so sick of hearing about it I could scream.

That new hockey boy/girl scout movie too. Though that one at least looks semi cute. Or it did before they did non-stop ads for it.

Personally, I liked Yin/Yang, but more b/c of the execution of the plot than the actual plot itself. Also liked episodes such as "Shawn Take A Shot", "High Noon-ish", & "A Very Juliet". I'd consider them all better than the Monk finale, because that had potential but they really blew the execution.

Miss 80's, I live on the Dallas/Plano border.  There's no rural Plano anymore, but I remember the time you 're talking about.  I guess there are still some people with country-type accents around here on the outskirts.  But the accents I hear most are Vietnamese (nail salons), Spanish (yard services), Indian (computer geeks at work) and my hairdresser is Russian.  Not exactly the accents people usually think of for Texas!

Suite Life jumped overboard with the cruise ship switch.  Wizards is still cute, but I wish they'd get rid of the idiotic sibling rule.  Hannah Montana is ok, but Ollie's gone off to another show and Miley rarely ever actually learns a lesson and matures.  Not very good.  Kind of like Harry Potter, without all the death.

The lost love piece is the only one I don't like in CA.  Maybe because it was done with White Collar.  The only saving grace is that she doesn't really know he's involved - and that the CIA is using her.  Adds some interest to an otherwise boring plotline.  I do like the developing respect between her character and the former director's son.  And the fact that she's a little bumbling.

I don't know the episode names... I'll have to look them up. 

The execution so far has been much better than Monk's.  They gave up pretty much after Sharona left - maybe.  After a couple of seasons with the new girl it got better, but then it got worse again.  That finale was like a big "fuck you!"  They didn't even have the decency to try to make it look planned.

I seriously want a Disher/Sharona spin-off, by the by.

What is Rubicon?

It is on AMC before Mad Men on Sundays. The tag line is “sometimes a conspiracy isn’t just a theory” which of course hooked me, being paranoid and all. But it is really slow and I’m having trouble warming up to the characters. Someone else on the ONT really likes it though so definitely other people’s mileage is varying on the show.

Me, I want the new season of Bones. I want to know if they can finally jump the shark and get together this season. I assume no. Of course IÂ’m also making the assumption that theyÂ’ll be starting it 1 year later, and not somehow jumped into the middle because of other circumstances. And hush you haterz, I donÂ’t care what you say David Boreanz is eye candy pure and simple for me.

We lived in the Parker/Murphy area back in the early '90s-'01, so we didn't go inside the city much except for school & other things. Dallas is definitely becoming more diverse, though I wouldn't say it's an international city like Houston. In Houston, you have an influx of people from all around the world, expecially with the oil companies. E.g., with my church, a majority of people work in the Enery Corridor, & you have people from Australia, the Netherlands, Puerto Rico, Latvia, you- name-it. It's actually raher interesting, & I like the variety.

Can't argue with any of that. They completely dropped the ball in S7, IMO, & I think it wasn't fair to Tony Shalhoub (though he may have played a part as producer). But yeah, the finale just seemed so staged. Even if they'd been able to get the actor who plays Monk's brother, it wouldn't have elevated the plot to a whole other level.

Kind of cute, but stupid in the long run of the show.  They could have made up a different rule.  For instance, to marry a non-wizard, he had to give up his powers.  Or he gave up his powers to save her from something... Anything but only one sibling can be a wizard.  It creates unnecessary tension, especially down the line.  Especially when you have two talented wizards in the family (and maybe a third one if Max evolves).

Yes whoever it was signed on as notblazer and left a fairly long apology. It's still there I think. I went for a run when the blowup started so I don't know what happened.

Thanks.  That's it.  Good ole Susan Ostrich.  Haven't seen her around lately.  Not bad for a Dim.  Seem friendly enough.  Friendly goes a long way when dealing with true believing "progressives."

I think it applies really well to the Simpsons too.  Honestly I haven't watched it in any real capacity since 2000, except the movie, and don't feel like I've missed anything major from them.

--It really applied to 24.  Damn, Seasons 6 and 7 sucked.

“I hope by next year we’ll have abolished Fannie and Freddie,” he said. Remarkable. And he went on to say that “it was a great mistake to push lower-income people into housing they couldn’t afford and couldn’t really handle once they had it.” He then added, “I had been too sanguine about Fannie and Freddie.”

You know, Paul tells us we should take fellow brothers & sisters aside and confront them with their sins.  I'm assuming you did just that.  Thank you.

Hoots mon! The 1st thing that popped into my head is what would you tell all the Scotch Presbyterians, like Old Sandy up in the Highlands.

I love textsfromlastnight--

you spent the night getting lap dances from a stripper with a c-section scar then ended up at a one room casino by the airport and you say you're too good to blaze and see pirahna 3d? bullshit

I don't think he'd be very welcome there by calling them a bunch of elites that do nothing all day but insult and complain about commenters here.

Yeah, I've been worrying about him too.

A relative of his signed on and apologized for whatever he did so he's got company.

Fair enough. 

I know all my friends stand over my shoulder when I am commenting on various websites, make note of what I'm saying, and then go out of there way to apologize.

 If it's legit, great.  Again, whatever.  Ace handled it.  Not my concern.

Katya, I'd be suprised if they're wearing them correctly. lol.

Rum, there was a song years ago called The Scotsman. I forget who sang it. It was about a guy who laid down beside the road to sleep off a night of pubbing and two maidens who happened by. Hilarity ensues.

How many of them are still like that? I know that one area of Murphy (near Southfork) starting building those row houses.

He probably brought attention to himself when he had his pants around his ankles and the screen pressed up against his ass screaming, "How you like me now?"

That has absolutely nothing to do with your commenting habits.

I hear you, I like both ace and blazer so I didn't stick around for the interwebs battle.

They said he was over at their place and using their computer.  I can see if you're at someone's house spending over an hour on a particular website, them going back and checking out what was so interesting that they needed to spend that time looking at it.

The entire thing was handled poorly. Went on for far too long and probably should have been addressed offline. Just my take and I'm just a houseguest here. I do hang my towel up after I shower though!

Aight, that was teh funny.

742  really, lets test it

hey all, since i'll be most likely running for the hawaii house in 2012 as a democrat, when should i hit you all up for a money bomb to help fund my run

726 Well, I'd start out with, "Presbyterian?  Really?"

LOL. I've been trying to find that clip on The Muppet Movie where Dr. Teeth makes that reference.

Anyway, there are some tough people out there. Don't know how they manage sometimes, those farmers far away from the major cities. Though they could be living in the Shetlands, so there's that.  

How many of them are still like that? I know that one area of Murphy (near Southfork) starting building those row houses.

I'm not familiar with Murphy, but the area near my sister isn't too built up yet, but that probably won't last.  The DFW metroplex spreads further and further out in all directions.   My church has its Thanksgiving dinner at Southfork every year, so I'll try to pay attention when I'm out there this year.

ooooh, my slogan

VOTE FOR JOE

not so corrupt that you can afford it!

I'm not a computer wiz, seriously, I'm not, but wouldn't they have to know his nickname on AOS, scroll thru a bunch of comments, before Ace deleted them by the way, and see what kind of crap he was spewing, then apologize?

I don't know, maybe he's havng some problems and someone is giving him a hand

And, like a turd in the pool,  it just lay there.

Not if he told them what his nickname was on here.  And then figured out what was said based on comments from others.  And I think plenty of people in my real life, would be able to figure out my comments on here if they knew I posted.

Ok.  Well I think its all BS.  Ace was deleting, with good reason, fast and furious.  I know if I melted down on here, my family and friends 1st concern wouldn't be apologizing to Ace. 

Somebody above said it was the same hash (well, they said hatch, but I extrapolated).  Wouldn't the comment have had to come from his house for that to be the case?

The NotBlazer said that Blazer was at their house, so its all understandable.

I like bagpipes. Seriously. And the Irish version, the Uillean pipes are beautiful. I got to see the Scottish Military Tattoo when I was in Edinburgh a few years ago. It was amazing to see hundreds of pipers marching and playing. I was floored.

I wish I could see something like that.  Once had a CD of bagpipe songs.  The best was Amazing Grace.

I hope everyone can play nice tomorrow. Ace has been on fire lately ( I was going to say en fuego--but I didn't want to step on 'en fuego guy's toes!). Anyway, immensely enjoyable blog these days.

Ciao, pups.

It was like reliving all those yrs of private school (11yrs)& theological debates, like when we had heresies class.

Seriously, though, while I don't think it changed any minds, it's always interesting to hear other perspectives.

Ya know, your computer has a history. All you have to do is look it up, see when the last sites were visited,  and then check them out. Plus all these posts are time stamped.

Pretty simple.
