Mantracker is an awesome show.

Cosplay is a word I don't know the meaning of.

I love blackbox for windows more than almost anything.

Seeing fat people helps me stay motivated to work-out regularly.

I once cried at the beauty of a full moon rising while driving to work.

I know people have a global greivance with the concept of diet soda. Fine. Not the point here.

The point is -- who the fuck puts 5 grams of sugar (and 6 grams of carbohydrates) into a diet soda? (See diet orange crush (http://www.calories-nutrition.buddyslim.com/diet-orange-crush/))

Interesting, since I know what cosplay is (at least the general concept) but have no clue what "blackbox for windows" is.

Heroes Season 4 was easily forgettable.

I have a secret crush on Shakira.

These goddamn fruit flies are pissing me off.

[Drake]

I would pay a monthly premium to have someone come around my house once a week and fill the gas tanks in my cars so I wouldn't have to stop at the gas station.

I'd be willing to pay extra if they'd top off the lawn mower.

[Drake]

On campus the other day, I saw a young woman with the most perfect ass I have ever seen in my life. She was talking to her dad on the phone, and it dawned on me for the first time that her dad was probably a guy my age.

It made me feel creepy in a really sexy way.

Completely unrelated, but I saw Bo bo McCalebb playing in the Euroleage final 4 the other night. Dude is quick.

[ColtCrazy]

My neighbor's wife makes a point of constantly posting things on facebook that she does on a daily basis "going to Wal-Mart, playing with the kids". Sure, I could ignore her, but instead I come up with sarcastic posts to counter what she considers important news.

I find facebook morbidly fascinating and highly irritating simultaneously.

I don't care how much science is behind it, but the "your steak should be the size of a deck of cards" has got to be the most ridiculously irritating thing anyone has ever said to me.

[Pumpy Tudors]

Let me rephrase this. I DO burst into tears sometimes when I see this clip. I just watched it and I'm crying for the first time in months.

Completely unrelated, but I saw Bo bo McCalebb playing in the Euroleage final 4 the other night. Dude is quick.
I hope he gets to play on an NBA summer league team. He's really small for a SG, but I hope somebody on this side of the ocean gives him a shot.

Do you ever post things back like "I saw you through your back window when you were doing that, you looked nice," or "You took exactly 51 minutes inside Wal-Mart, I know because I was in the parking lot timing you," and things like that in a general creepy way?

I'm going to miss Gene Hunt

I was recently made aware that there are "vast numbers" of women out there who honestly believe that their husbands never think of anyone but them during sex and consider the very notion of it the equivalent of being cheated on.

This blows my mind.

[JS19]

Long story short..

Told a friend I was gonna watch some shows on my DVR then it's lights out...
Convo leads to what the phrase "lights out" means...
He takes it literally, as in the lights will be turned out and subsequently go to sleep..
I told him he's on crack, I've never heard someone take it like that...
To me, and what I thought was the rest of the world, "lights out" indicates I'm gonna knock the eff out, as in i just took a straight right to the jaw from Brock Lesnar

[MrBug708]

I love Sam Adams Summer Ale and wish it was served year round. I hate the Sam Adams Lager though.

Meg Whitman is not attractive

And Lights Out can mean both things, depending on context, although I'm most familiar with it as your friend interprets it.

I'm confused by this story. You're saying you told your friend you'll watch some shows, and then "lights out"... you couldn't have meant you're gonna go kick the crap out of someone after watching some shows? So you're saying it's bedtime. But then you say your friend thinks it means bedtime and you think it means kick the crap out of someone?

Negative... perhaps I worded it poorly. We both had the same general idea, that I'm going to sleep. When I say lights out, I mean it as I'm absolutely exhausted and I'm gonna pass out, as in I just got knocked out. He thinks of it as you are literally gonna turn the lights out and fall asleep. Same idea, I know, just different interpretations.

[larrymcg421]

Well I think it's actually the same thing. I've never thought of the "going to sleep" version meaning literally turn the lights off. I always assumed lights out = "nothing going on upstairs". Whether it is because of being knocked out or just generally falling asleep seems irrelevant.

In one of the few cases where this would actually be related to anything, a friend of mine growing up would bring peanut butter and ketchup sandwiches for lunch. His mother was Canadian, so I chalked it up to being a Canadian thing.

Meh. Goldblum was never really on track to be an A-lister. He's a bit too quirky for that. I agree that Liotta probably had a chance and screwed it up with some really bad choices.

The Goldblum Rush Is On | Movies | EW.com (http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,293350,00.html)

LOL, he just found this.
By Chris Nashawaty | Jul 19, 1996
You want to talk real power? The kind of raw, hand-over-fist moneymaking marquee ballistics that make studio sharpies swoon like teenyboppers watching Elvis? Think Goldblum, Jeff Goldblum. Since he received rave reviews in 1986 for The Fly, the geeky actor has pretty much been stuck in the bush leagues, starring in films like 1988's Vibes — opposite Cyndi Lauper, no less! But look at the evidence: Independence Day just became the fastest movie to reach the $100 million mark, beating out Jurassic Park, which featured... Getting the picture?

''This moves him into a category he's never been in before,'' says Goldblum's ecstatic manager, Keith Addis. ''The phone calls I get have changed overnight.'' Of course, crediting Goldblum for the success of Jurassic Park and ID is like saying Mark Hamill packed 'em in for the Star Wars trilogy. But in Hollywood's bottom-line culture, Goldblum has morphed into a latter-day King Midas. In fact, his last six films have averaged $126 million, which, according to ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY's star-salary formula, should put his price tag at $14.6 million per flick. That makes his fee for ID — a mere $1 million or so — the deal of the century. And with Steven Spielberg's Jurassic sequel, The Lost World, on tap for next summer, producers not already genuflecting for His Goldblumness will no doubt be scurrying to sign him while he's still relatively cheap.


EW's archives are amazing btw.

So I'm in Atlanta right now with my wife and it's oddly more of a cultural center than I ever thought before planning this trip.

You have:
-historical (MLK Center, Carter Museum)
-cultural (History Center and High Museum of Art that we probably won't make it to)
-scientific (really large aquarium, zoo)
-pop cultural (CNN Center, World of Coke)
-sporting (all 4 sports and Olympic Centennial park)

I have been so pleasantly surprised and definitely recommend it as a tourist destination. The attractions cut across the spectrum so there is probably something for everyone.

(Our days- Sat:Carter/Braves, Sun:MLK/CNN, Mon:Aquarium/Coke, Tues:Other- wife wants to see Margaret Mitchell House while I thought I'd go to the Federal Reserve Museum across the street and then we have to fly home)

Yeah, there's tons to do here. I also recommend Six Flags, if that's your thing.

High Museum has a really cool exhibit now called Allure of the Automobile.

One of the coolest attractions in Atlanta right now is Dialogue in the Dark, where you get to experience what it's like for a blind person. You geta tour guide who is blind and you move through different rooms, having to find your way around and figure out where you are. It's a fascinating experience.

The chatting, the cell phones, the constantly moving and getting up, the plopping down between two kids sitting next to each other and sitting on the seat's edge....If doctors has Saturday hours I would have stopped for a vasectomy on the way home.

did Farrah de-friend me too??? did she de-friend all of us FOFCers??

[DaddyTorgo]

Word. I need to acquire some now.

Not sure if you can get them (prolly not I'd guess) but we have just started seeing delicious ones in our supermarkets out here in MA from Westminster Cracker Company (I think it's called...don't have it in front of me). They're just like the ones that upscale seafood places use alongside their chowder.

Problem is I have a feeling they're very local, since I think they're a Cape Cod company and you wouldn't be able to find them. But they're much much tastier than just your run-of-the-mill Nabisco ones or whoever makes the bland ones.

[Farrah Whitworth-Rahn]

I don't think I de-friended you. Not intentionally anyway.

Edit to add: Nope, we're still friends. :)

Farrah hasn't de-friended me, probably because she's waiting on some pictures. Unfortunately for her (I guess...), I haven't cleaned house in over 5 years.

Booked my tickets to England today. I end up getting into London at 7:30 in the morning, but that's a small price to pay to completely avoid going through the Atlanta airport on either trip. The place is the hellhole and of the three times I've been delayed coming back from England, it's been going through Atlanta.

As strange as it may sound, I'm so glad to be going over via Detroit.

Once had a hell day where I took the red-eye from SFO to LHR, getting to London around that same time, 7:30am. Had a meeting in central London from 9:30 to 12:30, then had to head back to the airport to fly to Munich for a 4pm to 6pm meeting. Afterward we headed to a biergarten for the evening festivities. I was a zombie by the end of the night.

To be fair, I hated most of my peers in high school and looking back I was no picnic either. It's just that they have more tools to annoy now than any time previous.

Cell phones on in theaters once the trailers end should result in being kicked out.

So, I've got a ton of praise earlier in the thread for Atlanta so I don't want to take a huge crap on that, but, well the airport still sucks.

They need at least one more damn runway and 2 more terminals to make it even close to having enough space. I always make the comparison to O'Hare, which is slightly less busy than it is but when there's no weather (which can be a huge problem), it runs like clockwork. Atlanta has 2 less runways than O'Hare and feels like it has 2/3rds the terminal space but still has more traffic. So you're always waiting in line for a gate when you land, which backs planes up coming into Atlanta and you're always in a line 5~15 deep trying to take off. It's stupid beyond belief.
