Seems like a likely crying baby situation waiting to happen. I have no idea if it will have a negative effect on the kid, but it seems like a pretty rude thing to do to the rest of the movie-goers.

I have to admit that I find Sheffield to be a whole lot less annoying now that he's playing for my team (and playing well) than I did when he was a Yankee.

If I was, I probably wouldn't have been able to come up with that many, as my mind would have wandered to other things. Looking back over the list though, it sure makes me look forward to getting home from work later on.

A lot of these artists have several that are good for this particularly activity, but I'm just gonna limit it to one per, for the sake of not making this list any longer than it already it is: Amon Tobin - Foley Room The Arcade Fire - Funeral The Avalanches - Since I Left You Glenn Branca - The Ascension Neko Case - Blacklisted The Clash - Sandinista! Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come John Coltrane - A Love Supreme Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me John Frusciante - Shadows Collide With People Fugazi - The Argument Godspeed You Black Emperor! - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like An

I thought I saw you there, Lou.

I really just meant Hendrix in general, although certainly some songs have been overplayed more than others. The whole idea of Hendrix has been diminished for me. To each his own, though.

Culture is too saturated with Hendrix for him to be very enjoyable while stoned anymore. It's not that the music isn't fine for it, it's just that, when you hear that music everywhere, then it just isn't that cool to hear when you're stoned anymore.

Great pics, Sir Stew. I thought I heard that the only Ty Cobb memorabilia they had was the knife he used to stab that guy.

Some guitarists that I love when stoned: Roger Miller John Frusciante Jack White Thurston Moore/Lee Ranaldo Tom Verlaine/Richard Lloyd J. Mascis Ron Asheton D. Boon Joey Santiago Jonny Greenwood Ira Kaplan To name a handful.

David Gilmour does nothing for me on guitar.

Pink Floyd is boring enough when not stoned. When I am (not that I'm admitting to anything), that shit puts me right to sleep.

The thing is, routine car maintenance generally isn't all that expensive compared to health care. Most people can afford an oil change, but even a routine checkup can be beyond a lot of people's means, even though it's way more important.

I've never played Guitar Hero, but I've heard from friends who play guitar that it is much more difficult for people who actually play than for people who don't. Because it's like playing guitar, only not really.

I've only played it in the arcade. I didn't even know that they put it out for console systems. I could see why that might not be as good.

That Aerosmith game is actually really good.

Lou Reed's Magic & Loss

I think it's rather late to still be holding out hope for him to turn out "normal".

Sorry. I guess I could have made something up. Let me try again. I was committing sodomy on a llama in the middle of central campus. Most of the heathens I went to school with (keep in mind, this is Ann Arbor, so this stuff is normal) paid no mind. However, a family of upstanding Christian citizens happened to be walking through campus. I heard a child ask, "Daddy, what is that man doing to that goat?" (I guess didn't know what a llama was). "Son," he said, "That man is trying to procreate with that goat" (the father wasn't very worldly either). "It is a sin against nature." I he

Not really as exciting as a story as you might hope. A group of insane people were picketing campus for a few days, carrying signs that said "You're all going to hell" and other similar things, and basically just yelling at people. They also had their children with them, handing out their ridiculous literature. I was walking to class. The kid approached me and offered me a pamphlet. I said "No thank you". He said "You're a dirty sinner and you're going to hell." I said "Fuck off." That's the whole not-so-exciting story. It's true. I am a man of mystery.

I understand. I still get distracted by it myself.

No one even reads my posts anymore. I don't blame you.

Of those things you listed, only #6 is actually a health tip.

Does he actually give any health tips in the movie? Right, but legalized abortions (at least theoretically) reduce infant mortality rates because, in places where abortion is illegal, more children are born with severe life-threatening illnesses. Abortions due to unwanted pregnancies have no affect on infant mortality rates, but abortions due to in utero diagnoses of severe disabilities or illnesses sure do.

I've noticed that when someone says "I don't want to offend anybody", they're usually just about to say something really offensive.

I don't think that Michael Moore's own weight issues are a sign of hypocrisy at all. Arguing that people should have access to health care, should they need/want it, is not the same as saying that everyone has an obligation to use that healthcare to it's fullest. It's a personal choice (and sometimes not -- it's not as though everyone who is overweight could easily just drop those extra pounds so easily). There are some legit reasons to dislike Michael Moore, but I really don't see how his weight is relevent even to this film.
