Milkman delivers

Chat.

The new commercials for Orkin, with the giant bugs trying to convince people to let them into their house, are kind of funny, but they're also really creepy to me.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 20, 2008 -> 12:08 PM) So the wife rented "Dan in Real Life" for some reason last night. We turned it off after 30 minutes, as it was just about the worst movie I've seen in a while. Please tell me it gets better as it goes along? It's a tough movie to categorize. It wasn't really a comedy (at least it wasn't very funny). I think it was just a story about a middle-aged father raising his kids alone and him trying to date again. I dunno, I didn't hate it or love it.

Nobody mentioned the Sopranos yet, so I will.

WTF?

I enjoyed Forgetting Sarah Marshall a lot, and I have no complaints about it. But, it wasn't as funny as people are making it out to be.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Apr 19, 2008 -> 01:16 PM) Yes, games on WGN are usually on my extra innnings package. So you aren't getting tonight's game either? I don't see it on my tv.

Yeah, but since this game is at 7 EST, it should still be shown. Does WGN usually get picked up on Extra Innings, for future reference? Is this just one of those flukes?

QUOTE (DBAH0 @ Apr 19, 2008 -> 09:07 AM) That's the 2nd time I've been asked that. GPA stands for Gross Production Average. It's a stat used from the Hardball Times. A variation of OPS, but more accurate and easier to interpret. The exact formula is (OBP*1.8+SLG)/4, adjusted for ballpark factor. The scale of GPA is similar to BA: .200 is lousy, .265 is around average and .300 is a star. A simple formula for converting GPA to runs is PA*1.356*(GPA^1.77). For comparions sake, Uribe has a GPA of .168, Cabrera a GPA of .242, and Pierzynski a GPA of .304. Bulls***.

WGN isn't on the Extra Innings package?

QUOTE (Soxy @ Apr 18, 2008 -> 01:32 PM) Meh, if you really want to--it's not hard to convince guys to drop trou. Although, I do think Jason Segel is the ultimate cutie pie. Low standards, eh?

chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

QUOTE (BearSox @ Apr 14, 2008 -> 05:14 PM) I gained some respect for Hawk to find out he is a republican However, he is still a homer by actually thinking Mayor Daily is a good mayor. Yeah, I bet you know a ton about politics.

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Apr 12, 2008 -> 10:40 PM) i love festus It's a good gimmick. I hear that Festus is exactly what they've been trying to make Snitsky for the last 3 years.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 12, 2008 -> 08:51 PM) And not old people across the board either. My wife can't stand it and she's old as dirt like me. Strangelove is absolutely brilliant, period. I understood the comedic aspect of Dr. Strangelove. Don't get me wrong. It's just not the type of movie that makes me actually laugh. When I look at the lists of the greatest comedies on AFI and the like, I feel the same way about most of the movies they have on their lists (of the ones I've seen). I'm not too familiar with the Marx Brothers, but the Stooges are hilarious to this very day. I can't imagine how good they were back in their prime. What's your take?

QUOTE (3E8 @ Apr 12, 2008 -> 05:19 PM) I just sent my list. It contains all three Austin Powers I only put the second one in mine, but all three Naked Guns made it for me.

So, old people think The Graduate is funny. That's what I've gathered so far. I also didn't find Dr. Strangelove funny. My #1 would probably be Blazing Saddles. I'll try to do a list some time today.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Apr 11, 2008 -> 11:17 AM) Did you get to see him pitch? He was a solid prospect but he took a step back when his old man died and then when things seemed to get going, a hip problem (I think) ended his career. Game 4 of the 1983 ALCS was one of the gutsiest performances I ever saw by a Sox pitcher. Too bad Jerry Dybzinski sucked eggs. Well, looking at his stats, his last year in the MLB seems to be the year I was born. I think not.

Does anyone have the Extra Innings package? And if so, is this game on a channel and I'm missing it?

Why the f*** is this game not on the Extra Innings package? I'm starting to think this package isn't even worth having if they're only gonna show half the f***ing games.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 10, 2008 -> 08:10 PM) I know it doesn't change the amount of posts, but one way to make threads like that "less intimidating" is changing your board settings. If you have a decent internet connection, go into "My Controls", then on the left hand side scroll down to "Board settings", and change the "Number of posts to show for each topic page" to 50 or 75. It takes a day or two to get used to, but it really nice. 50 works great for me. I understand what you're going for there, but that doesn't change the number of posts. EDIT: And now I see you said that in the very first sentence, ha. It's just still too much for me to want to read.

Yes, I also hate the ridiculously long threads that are a bunch of different threads combined. If I wait a full day between reading them, there's already around 15 new pages and I end up passing over it.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Apr 10, 2008 -> 12:47 PM) Bill Melton, Ritchie Zisk, Eric Soderholm, Marvis Foley, Chet Lemon, Oscar Gable, Ron LeFlor, Britt Burns, Roy Smalley, Joel Skinner, Reid Nichols. I don't know why, but that sounds so much like a pornstar name to me.

The Sopranos? It worked pretty perfectly and was not intended for the show in any way. The Wonder Years was also a good one, Sleepy.

Answer to my question? Anybody?
