No, not latin. Variation (dialect) of the past tense of, "to eat", as in, "I et them fritters, ma". linky -- and you criticized spelling, not sensibility. I was just saying that he we spelled words correctly, not that they made any sense. http://www.imeem.com/noavamix/music/eOwoWosz/yello_do_it/]http://www.mattscdsingles.com/acatalog/14327.jpg[/img

No, my cat wouldn't do that. She'd hiss and spit and bite and claw until she was let go, then run away. There's no way she'd tolerate being held in place like that. That's why I said "stereotypical" -- the one that ignores all commands. The one from the "what cats hear" Far Side cartoon. EDIT: I should add: my cat loves having her face rubbed, so I understand exactly why that cat is doing that. That part she might tolerate.

"Dew" and "et" are both proper English words.

Oh yeah: Dew. Et. See, now you're just making it sound more enticing.

I think you should take one for the team and buy this. And then report back.

Both of these statements are incorrect. Their entire catalog has been overplayed, which is why I don't listen to them. The songs I listen to -- even the Beatles-y ones -- have not, which is why I choose to listen to non-Beatles songs over Beatles songs every time. No other reason. I will not argue over the quality of their song-writing, their musicianship, their ear for pop sensibility, nothing. Only the fact that I -- that's me, no-one else -- have heard too many of their songs too many times. The correct answer is Elvis.

Hilary Hahn Helene Grimaud Stolen Babies Diablo Swing Orchestra Mike Oldfield Klaus Schulze Vangelis (that's in no particular order) Nate: good list -- I've seen: Dresden Dolls, Opeth, Epica, and Sigur Ros off that list, and they were all excellent live. I missed Metric by (holds fingers together less than a centimeter apart) that much.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. (The lottery is loaded -- just concentrate on making lots of money at a job you enjoy, and it'll be like winning the lottery. That's the way I look at it.) I've got my fingers crossed for you.

Pretzel is always an option

Anti-exercise cat (and before you watch it, think about how you think a stereotypical cat would react to a treadmill, and you'd probably come up with this): YouTube - Lazy cat on treadmill

Lollers.

That was fucking brilliant -- is that a real Radiohead song?

Has anyone decided to buy this yet? I know I will be...one of my favorite albums of his... Wow. You know, for the most part, our musical tastes differ, but every once in a while, he hits a homer. I was teased in high school that my two favorite bands were Black Sabbath and Henry Mancini and his Orchestra. I might have to get this.

Abject violence makes me giggle like a 12-year-old. I have to admit, though, that even though I knew it was going to be over-the-top brutal (I had seen the redline trailer), it still caught me off guard with just how brutal it was. In other words, other than not being entertained (which I think is a function of the audience, not the movie, in this case), I agree with your descriptions 100%.

Unless the reason you're watching it for is the brutality. Which I was. But those were relatively minor to the otherwise simplicity of the film. If you're looking for an intellectual film, this is not it.

Hey, what a coincident, I was watching that earlier today. I was watching the buildings in my work neighborhood disappear behind a wall of rain. You could actually see the visibility plummeting...200 yards...190 yards...180 yards...etc. Don't you know that you're supposed to get away from phones and the internet during an electrical storm?

Beautiful.

OMG, that is so awesome.

Uh...why didn't you just keep them, then?

It looks like he was clearing his desk at the beginning of the first video. All he's doing is confirming that they made the right decision.

They're not fugly. Jesus, have you seen the Jecklin Floats? Or the Ergos? Or even the iGrados? These are black, normal looking headphones, nothing more, nothing less. No, I'm not getting a pair.

Yeah, that's a whole 'nother thread. (Although the HE90 is obviously what the author intended.)

Yeah, that's how I did it when I was unemployed. Unfortunately, in the DC area, that means you spend 99% of your time worrying that someone is going to run your ass over.
