  1. When I had my wisdom teeth about around 15 years ago. The doctor came in and turned on the nitrous oxide, the left to finish with another patient. He was delayed as that patient asked lots of questions. I've never used nitrous recreationally, but that extra dose I got while waiting was pretty cool.
  2. Love Jackson Cannery. Maybe it'll lead to more performances down the road.
  3. He opened a lot for Bob Mould in the early and mid 90s. I never understood his acclaim.
  4. Thanks for posting. I love Pleased to Meet Me. It was the 1st Replacements album that was released AFTER I had become a fan.
  5. I thought about posting this in the election thread or starting a new thread. But I think it fits best here. It's a very angry letter written to an American soldier who does commentary on NPR and his reply. Link
  6. I hope fans aren't offended by this. I haven't read the article yet, but the headline was way too funny to not post: NASCAR Cancels Remainder of Season After David Foster Wallace's Death
  7. At my school, we say it once a week. It's voluntary for the students. I'm certain there's peer pressure and internal pressure not to stand out, but I like that our principal announces it's voluntary. The only cases I've known of kids sitting it out are Jehovah's Witnesses.
  8. I don't know who's to blame for any of this. My sense is it's all of us. Our greed. Our shortsightedness. And the financial industry's lack of self-regulation. Giving us a loan they knew we couldn't pay back better than we ourselve's realized. Could more regulation have prevented this? It sounds like the experts think so, but did we really want the lawmakers to regulate us out of that nice, big 4-bedroom house in the nice school district? Anyway... When I just checked the markets now, I thought, panic is really here. The dow down almost $1000 over 2 days. Oil going down, more than
  9. Yeah, to keep those godforsaken criminals on the streets! My brother is attorney, not criminal defense, but I do really understand the role you play. I once had a discussion with a friend of his. A real Texas-style defense attorney. He was (drunkenly) explaining his role in our system. I will paraphrase: "Everyone deserves an advocate in our system. That's what I do. I advocate for 'em. I not only keep 'em outta jail, I get their guns back for 'em!"
  10. He made a horrible, indefensible call and should be reprimanded. I don't know his history, but I've always respected his on-field demeanor and listened to a lot of commentators (before Sunday) call him one of the league's best. I was impressed by this article from a San Diego paper: http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/sulli...17sullivan.html
  11. All schools are required to teach about the Constitution "on or around September 17". My lesson is always pretty much the same. An explanation on how a federal law requiring a local school to teach a specific topic on a specific day violates the spirit of the Constitution itself.
  12. Please for give my ignorance: What is the exact connection between UT and the Bottle Rockets?
  13. Anyone else thinks we're getting a little too sensitive around here when Jules posts this.
  14. Lucky! Just watched the Swell Season episode.
  15. Here's a link to the Atlantic Monthly article. For some reason I assumed they wouldn't publish full articles online.
  16. Not this again, we all know there's only one right answer AM BT ST YHF AGIB SBS Geez... Oops, wrong thread.
  17. There was an interesting article Atlantic Monthly a few months back about the Volt and how it's GM's last attempt to salvage itself. It sounds like it 's a long way from working the way they want it to. But if it does, they could really give Toyota and everyone else a run for the money.
  18. The showed that play HS play on SportsCenter last night. Unbelievable. That was one of the best games I've seen in a while. It was like watching Arena Football.
  19. Hmm... I agreed w/ pretty much everything but this. I usually hate hate Kenan Thompson, but I thought that sketch was hilarious. Esp. when Michael Phelps said something like, "You know how hard it is to train to win a gold medal" and Barkley said, "Yeah, ummm... no. Michael Jordan basically asked me to come play poker in Barcelona for 2 weeks. There's only one catch. You have to leave the casino every once in a while to go play basketball against Angola."
