Dang. Now I want to go to the snack bar...
Which, as I recall, was about $1.50 for a single slice of very, very bad pizza.

The Pizza still sucks...but now days, that limp and soggy slice will set you back at least five dollars.

Actually, Haunted Mansion was someone else, if I recall correctly. Can't think of his name, but the same guy who sang the songs on "The Grinch That Stole Christmas".
Had an odd name.

Sorry. Thurl Ravenscroft. The singer in 'Grinch', and the voice of Haunted Mansion.
No wonder I couldn't remember his name, but I just looked it up.

Mad Men gets all the hype, but Hell on Wheels is a great show on AMC. Watched the first season (a brisk five episodes) yesterday for free thanks to Redbox. Great show if you're a fan of Westerns. Not as enjoyable as Deadwood, but it'll do as a placeholder in the genre.

"or maybe I'm insane."
Possibly, but yes indeed, Boris did narrate it. He just didn't do any of the singing.
Hope this helps...

Wiki says:
In the mid-1960s, Karloff gained a late-career surge of American popularity when he narrated the made-for-television animated film of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and also provided the voice of the Grinch, although the song, "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" was sung by American voice actor Thurl Ravenscroft.

Check out his bio on IMDB. He can be heard in several places at the park, like the monorail. Stood 6'5" and was a courier pilot during WWII. Another amazing resume.

Joe, NASCAR is in trouble. I used to have tickets to the June Dover race. In the mid-90s I could have scalped the for twice their value. I gave them up circa 2007. I was shocked this year to see the stands half-empty. NASCAR blames the economy, and partly true, but their main problem ts that there are no larger-than-life characters anymore - no Junior Johnsons, Richard Pettys, Allisons, and of course, Dale Sr. It's just a bunch of white-bread Stepford racers. No compelling reason to watch.

A found footage horror movie based around those crappy Ghost Hunter shows on the History channel or A&E.
Surprisingly creepy and effective. Delivers some great shocks and scares.
Posted by: naturalfake at June 30, 2012 09:12 PM (G9qZk)
Please explain the appeal of this genre. I don't get it. Being scared, to me, is not pleasurable.

Number of problems with all those kind of shows. But to me, is if you and I are together in a situation, and something odd or weird happens, me yelling at you "What The F%%K WAS THAT?" doesn't really add any cool, calm logic to what may have just happened.
It's all just exploitive, and with no really looking into explanations.

NASCAR needs to adopt Spy Hunter rules.
Posted by: garrett at June 30, 2012 09:25 PM (HdBP0)
A buddy bought a sit-down Spy Hunter console for $6,000 way back in the day. It was fucking cool, he set it up in his living room.
If I remember right, the reset switch was on top and back right.
Now I have the Peter Gunn theme stuck in my head.

I think you can get a brand new sit down MsPacman/Galaga for $2500 or so...I've never seen the Spy Hunter, though.
That'd be a cool piece of furniture.

Always liked the 1/4 mile racing. I participated in it frequently, sometimes even on a dragstrip. Racing the family ride was kinda dicey, though. If you broke, you were in deep shit.

Was about to say that. Agree. Part of the mystique of a racer is that you might die. Not that I want anyone to die, but with all the safety measures, racing is safer than driving to work.

You're thinking of Impossible Mission on the C64. It was ported to other systems but that was the version most people played. (The first version shipped on the Atari 7800 had a fatal bug that made it impossible to finish and the title all too accurate.)

The IRS cannot impose a penalty for nonpayment of the ACA TAX.
From FactCheck.org:
The law prohibits the IRS from seeking to put anybody in jail or seizing their property for simple refusal to pay the tax. The law says specifically that taxpayers “shall not be subject to any criminal prosecution or penalty” for failure to pay, and also that the IRS cannot file a tax lien (a legal claim against such things as homes, cars, wages and bank accounts) or a “levy” (seizure of property or bank accounts).
What happens if you refuse to pay only that TAX amount?
Will the IRS sue for the relatively small amount of the TAX if they can't collect a penalty? Or threaten criminal sanctions?
Here is the language from the law according to Congress' Joint Committee on Taxation's most recent update, March 16, 2012:
C. Excise Tax on Individuals Without Essential Health Benefits Coverage (sec. 1501 of the Senate amendment and new sec. 5000A of the Code)
On page 33, the first full paragraph should be deleted and replaced with the following description of the limitations on administration and procedure of section 5000A as enacted:
1 The penalty applies to any period the individual does not maintain minimum essential coverage and is determined monthly. The penalty is an excise tax that is assessed in the same manner as an assessable penalty under the enforcement provisions of subtitle F of the Code.
2 As a result, it is assessable without regard to the restrictions of section 6213(b). Although assessable and collectible under the Code, the IRS authority to use certain collection methods is limited.
Specifically, the filing of notices of liens and levies otherwise authorized for collection of taxes does not apply to the collection of this penalty. In addition, the statute waives criminal penalties for non-compliance with the requirement to maintain minimum essential coverage. However, the authority to offset refunds or credits is not limited by this provision.
If you don't want to pay the penalty tax or the tax penalty – It looks like you could limit your withholding!
