Animals: Octopus Steals Video Camera Explained : Video : Discovery News I still think the octopus was thinking, "whee!" at the end there.

File under "Okay, that's just silly": go to any video on YouTube (the one above is pretty funny), and press the soccer ball/fussball/whatever.

I heard you like tools... Sorry, couldn't resist.

Except that .m4v is basically an Apple container format.

Me: orange juice...and beer. (Penn Brewery Brewer's Reserve St. Nikolaus Bock -- it's a doppelbock. And the orange juice is Whole Foods brewery 365 branch organic orange juice not made from concentrate.)

The big ones are supposed to be even better.

I don't know, it doesn't do it automatically for me neither. PS I lollered.

I'd be happy to meet y'all in Annapolis for a crab feast. Believe it or not, September and even into October is the best time. Just don't pick the one weekend when I'm out of town.

My mind just didn't go there. But of course, now that it did, I had to go and see if I could find something appropriate on engrish.com, and discovered -- to my delight -- that there is now an adult.engrish.com -- huzzah! And now I want this mug.

"Elections"?

Lpppt.

And for desert: Coconut M&M's.

I lollered.

It wasn't? Dagnabit.

Oh c'mon you guys, so he quoted the wrong post, big deal.

Ricky's Rice Bowl Bulgogi Chicken

Wouldn't that be a function of programming (I.E. of the sound in the game)? What's the best you've ever heard it?

My condolences, as well.

's'truth -- I'm full of those trivia things. I actually used that Back to the Future thing yesterday. I think it's more "spirit" than actual physical shape.

Declined.

Did you know...? ...that it's largely improvised?

Yeah, you said before, but all reports I've read so far don't point in that direction. I've been finding stories like this one more typical. We'll see, I guess. I should probably take that bet, you're going to regret...

Great doesn't begin to describe it. I'm going to have to rewatch season 3 (yes, season 3) -- I think I noticed something. Every time she's about to narrate her thoughts in the episode, they duck the sound. I think in one particular pass, they ducked the sound, then -- without her saying her thoughts -- cut back to dialog. Veronica (out loud): I got nothing. Not sure, could be wishful thinking, but if they did, it was pretty brilliant. Problem is, I don't remember which episode. Love the attention to detail on this show. I actually really like the Logan character, despite being full of contradictions. He has that really nasal voice, which one wouldn't normally associate with charismatic, but I can't imaging anyone else voicing his parts. It's perfect for the role. I think it makes a nice complement to Buffy -- it's got that same turn-on-a-dime dramatics (comedy to drama, vice versa, etc.), but without the fantasy element, and every once in a while, instead of being a superheroine, she totally chokes. (Like that scene in River Stix.) Now back to: Big Bang Theory, Season 2.

It's somewhere around a hundred here, too, guys -- I feel for you. Although I am indoors and air-conditioning is working just fine thank you.
