  1. I actually liked the episode and thought it was a return to form after some rather disappointing episodes. I mean, come on, the part with Stanley talking about his swollen ankles...you can't tell me that wasn't hillarious.
  2. So wait...so you think Tweedy's not being fully truthful or that he just misremembers the amount of songs that haven't been released? I will say...that I would love to get the Wilco version of "Birds and Ships."
  3. (cough)MhWAGradyLittleMhWA(cough) Sorry....got a little tickle in my throat... (still ducks)

"That guy is full of shit," he manages again. "I don't know what he's talking about. If he has more stuff, then that's great, but I don't think there's any chance of us having anything to do with it." More laughter. "The guy's been saying that all over the place and I have no idea what he is talking about because he has never talked to us about it. There are no other songs that we have. Everything that we did was on the records. But I'm
  5. While I agree with most of your points...I can say that we're not talking just a few hundred here and there, we're talking thousands and (I'll only speak for my own experience here in Seattle...going to M's games for 30+ years) it definitely didn't peak until after 2004. The last few years have seen an enormous leap in the number of Boston fans...and I would wager that this isn't just an exception to the rule up here. That being the case there's bound to be some bad blood. All that said, if you can prove to me, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you're either A) from Boston, or B ) have a
  6. I think this is more a combination of payroll (where the Red Sox do rival the Yankees), the fan-base reaction to winning, and the relatively new proliferation of "the nation" -- I think a lot of the back-lash is a reaction to the millions of band-wagon jumpers, locals who show up in what should be their home-team stadium and root for Big Papi or Youuuuuuuuuuuuu....and they've never even been to Boston, but are not only now adopting the Red Sox as their team, but rooting against the home-team from their home city...for die-hard baseball fans, that's just unbelievable. Generally speaking, and
  7. Jim (as Dwight): WRONG! Black Bear. Bears. Beats. Battlestar Gallactica! ***** Not exactly right--> Michael: Call the Law Offices of James P. Allbini, see if he handles hate crimes.
  8. I think you should trust your gut reaction. I tried a few years back and found one of his works (The Alchemist) really, really poor. But, different strokes...
  9. Amen! Does TBS really think that people will watch that show after completely bludgeoning us over the head with those ad's? I'm curious whether the Frank-defenders have watched any of the post-season baseball games. (And can I just say that I'd like to add Harold Reynolds to the non-appreciation thread)
  10. 1. The accents are terrible, but it's called wilful suspension of disbelief...this applies to all shows. Ummm...mechanical black smoke on a deserted island anyone? 2. I don't think a series can be judged by the first few episodes which are simply an introduction...they can be at least intriguing...which I think this is. 3. I think the episodes are in the process of becoming tighter and more interesting...with the right balance of humor and seriousness. The Alan Ball. 4. I like it.
  11. Stuart. He played bass for U2 when Adam Clayton was too hungover to go onstage in Australia. I know what you're thinking, and yes, supermodels were involved.
  12. According to Pitchfork's fall release schedule: 12/09 Cat Power: Dark End of the Street EP [Matador]
  13. Two weeks and counting and still no leaky...I miss the glory days of roasted swine.
  14. Ok, I'm just going to say it, for the next week I'm the world's biggest Angels fan....way too much Red Sox love going on in here. Fear the Vlad.
  15. Please tell me you are at least from the Boston area?
  16. It is indeed Sir...nice catch. You got to love Vonnegut.
  17. I don't belittle your pain. But it could always be worse. You could be a Mariners fan. That being said, as long as the Red Sox don't win the Series, I'll be extremely happy. Although, now that I think about it, and I hate to say it, but I might actively root against the Cubbies...because if they win I won't be able to console myself with this nugget after watching my M's blow another game/chance at the playoffs, "Well, it could be worse...we could be Cubbies fans." I mean, who will fill the lovable loser role if the Cubs win it all, the Indians?
  18. About this (4.12.08) show...was there a reason it was being kept private? Just curious. Cheers.
  19. I'm just going to say, that if they do the old "on and off, will they or won't they? friction, fighting, making up and calling it off, and making up again" thing with Jim and Pam that they were hinting at in this last episode, I'm going to be uber-pissed....that plot device is SO played out and unoriginal...that would be enough to cause me to abandon ship.
  20. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A West Virginia man who police said passed gas and fanned it toward a patrolman has been charged with battery on a police officer. Jose A. Cruz, 34, of Clarksburg, was pulled over early Tuesday for driving without headlights, police said. According to the criminal complaint, Cruz smelled of alcohol, had slurred speech and failed three field sobriety tests before he was handcuffed and taken to a police station for a breathalyzer test. As Patrolman T.E. Parsons prepared the machine, Cruz scooted his chair toward Parsons, lifted his leg and "p
  21. I've definitely become more discerning regarding what I put on my iPod. I tend to get a bit obsessive regarding my current favorite songs/bands and hunt down all their recordings and overdose. About 2 months ago, my iPod and Computer crashed back to back and I lost everything. I upgraded my iPod, but have been very selective about what I put on there and what I keep on there and it's been a revelation. Makes the music listening experience all the better. There's something psychological that goes on when you just have too much crap and muddled b.s. on your iPod that you've got to wade thro
