  1. Do you have the DVDs? Go back and watch w/ commentary. It really was an incredible show. Writing, casting, acting, music. Nearly every moment pitch perfect.
  2. I love Pillars of the Earth and World w/o End. The thickest "light reads" I've ever tackled.
  3. Do you think people who happened to die that day thought they were experiencing the end of the whole world?
  4. Anything I can get my hand on after today. Some beer, some Templeton Rye. Fuck.
  5. QFT. Maybe the smartest thing said about politics on VC in a year.
  6. A deal will get done. Period. It's just if it's another crap deal like the one that created this fiscal cliff in the first place or something more substantial along the lines of the Simpson-Bowles proposal. Make the rich pay more in taxes and some SERIOUS, hardcore entitlement reform. Start sliding in some means testing, start slowly increasing the age of medicare and SS from 65 to at least 68 if not 70. I'm no economist, but I think a serious compromise would do more to boos the economy than anything else I can think of.
  7. Well, I do wish the nuge would shut the hell up, but he's an idiot.
  8. I couldn't find the 2016 election thread, where I was going to post this piece by Chuck Klosterman about liking an artist even if you have divergent political views. Chris Christie touched on this a bit with his Springsteen love on the Stewart show. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/09/magazine/undocumented-diner.html?ref=magazine&_r=1&
  9. Okay, this place is more family friendly than that place http://mywmb.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=rules&thread=1&page=1#1
  10. Do you post over there too? I'm capnfeatherdick42!
  11. I liked the whole Time Out LP long before I understood it or any jazz for that matter. Very different from most of the stuff I really enjoy today, but fantastic.
  12. Watch the personal insults, please!
  13. There's an old Matt Pinfield interview of Bob Mould from 120 Minutes very reminiscent of this.
  14. Either this season or last there was a really funny commercial for a product called "almost pizza". Or maybe "nearly pizza". I bet someone who cares more than me can find a link and post it.
  15. Maybe the producers are just fans of the Jumble.
  16. I haven't read the whole Bible, but you're probably right. I will say the New Testament has very little of that begat stuff and moves along rather nicely.
  17. The opening and closing of Moby Dick are great. The crap Lammy describes is the most tedious prose I've ever read.
