  1. They (and by 'they', I don't just mean Amazon) really need to quit being dicks to current customers. Repeat business should be treated the same as new business. I managed to convince at least one magazine of that back in the 90s.
  2. 'Ghost Adventures' couple found dead Medieval skeleton found dangling from roots of fallen tree
  3. Kermit: "I'd like to talk about last night's show -- let's start with the band: when Piggy starts interviewing the guests, that's your cue to stop playing." Dr. Teeth: "Ah. Did not know that. Perhaps we should dismystify any further misconfusion with a daily confabulation type meeting." Kermit: "We have meetings every morning, you're in one right now." Zoot: "Huh, this is a meeting? (straightens throat) I'm Zoot. And I'm..." (someone else): "Different meeting." Zoot: "Oh." Yeah, I know, I have a twisted sense of humour. I went to the top of Diamondhead once, when I was in Hawaii on work. The previous person took me. It was beautiful. So when the next person came along, I took them. Unfortunately, there were much more people that time. And they were all kind of quiet and kept to themselves. Like library quiet. It was like that scene in The Birds when the birds aren't doing anything, but there's still a lot of tension, because there's still a lot of them. Then someone called the meeting to order. We excused ourselves quickly. My coworker had a similar sense of humour to mine -- he said, "I realize it's early but all of sudden I'm thirsty, do you want to go get a drink?" Watched the pilot for Minority Report (free on Amazon, not sure if prime or everyone, would presume everyone) -- meh, they made it into a procedural by separating the 3 and giving one so strong a conscience that he feels obliged to act, but he is the weakest of the 3, so is somewhat stymied. Setup seems fragile for an entire show. That said, I like procedurals and I like sci-fi, so will watch. Also, season 2 of Blacklist just hit Netflix.
  4. Click on the symbol to the left of the title. (star, circle, etc.)
  5. Calexico, Edge of the Sun (deluxe edition, 24/96)
  6. (whimper) Want meat ball samich nao. Aye keed, aye keed, I may need to take this to local foodie chef restaurant place this weekend, see what she can do.
  7. This article about a cock museum contains the words "...cock collection grew impressively in size..."
  8. That's a pretty sweet looking BLT
  9. I really like Adams' version. I almost bought it on HDTracks, but they didn't have anything less than 192, and I almost always downgrade to 96 just to save a few bucks. I should listen to the Chvrches again, but I really feel like trying to squeeze in Black Holes & Revelations before Knucks' show (for which I'm actually home, for a change).
  10. I still don't get this. You mean, "go advanced"? 'cause I still see pictures before I post them. I right-click->copy picture; then put focus down in the post reply area, (click it once to get the headers, ) then right click->paste. Instant preview. How do you do it that's so different? Do you create the text in an external editor first, so that you don't have to enter head-case? 'cause that would make sense, I used to do that, because I hated getting the timestamp all messed up, but with the new system, I lose nothing. If I only go to one post, all the others still show the previous last read post. Just curious, not trying to "correct" you or anything, but if there's anything I can do to help prevent ass chapping, I'll most likely try 'n do it. Well, unless Steve is involved, his ass-chapping is his own problem.
  11. And I just paid for my renewal a couple months ago.
  12. Unless of course you can't even get through the entirety of the first show.
  13. Someone on Facebook recently accused me of having consumed way too many drugs at some point in my life. I corrected him (I didn't take drugs, even though I grew up in the 70s), but allowed that maybe I was allowed to watch too many horrible horror movies during the 70s (I blame my babysitters). So...yeah, maybe.
  14. It's certainly no Jim Henson show, the self-doubt and self-hate on the part of Fozzie and Kermit were a bit much. I hope they tone that down, but there were enough easter egg adult jokes for me to come back next week. Is my memory deceiving me, or was Fozzie's girlfriend different in the commercial (brunette) than on the show? I vaguely remember a brunette.
  15. Gotham, Muppets
  16. They've implanted an earworm without actually recording it, that's what they've done.
  17. No, I understand the album is not ironic, I meant me listening to someone covering Taylor Swift (an outspoken Spotify critic) on Spotify. I guess you answered my question: confusing. :\
  18. Would gravity help (I would keep it low to the ground so it doesn't have far to fall and have a flat surface with a soft towel over which to lean the speakers.)?
