I just caught Weeds for the first time this week. I need to rent th DVDs of seasons 1 and 2 if they are out. Mary-Louise Parker is MILF Numero Uno.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 11:40 AM) Did I mention I watched Benchwarmers the other night? Wow...that was something. Something in a good way? I actually sat through the pirated stream of Superbad that was posted here a couple days ago. My wife thought she'd like to see it because George Micahel from Arrested Development is in it, but it's a little lowbrow and rough around the edges for her. Me on the other hand. . . the film did have it's moments. The bit about the kid's addiction to drawing a particular part of anatomy over and over - and then the two montages of all of the various renditions about killed me. "I had just finished drawing the triumphant vein-ey one. . . "

I don't know what you put in that letter, Northside, but it seems to have done the trick: http://www.wbbm780.com/pages/849554.php?co...ontentId=832984

:lolhitting

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 12:24 PM) just wait, it gets good:) That it does. I still get choked up over that one scene in Brokeback Gilboa Mountain when Jonathan turns to David and says, "I wish I knew how to quit Jew."

Love This Game!

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Aug 22, 2007 -> 08:29 PM) We have our own mini-hurricane going on right now. They said on the news that in the past week we've had enough rain to get our total up to November. My yard is a giant sponge, and it spells like a friggin' swamp everywhere I go. As I type this I amj staring into another massive storm rolling in. If I'm not mistaken, a good chunk of the rain you are getting is the remnants of TS Erin, so that's gotta count for something.

:drink Make it a good one!

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 21, 2007 -> 10:32 PM) Prognosis negative for this joke. And a one-way Chunnel ride to boot!

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 21, 2007 -> 09:54 PM) I heard the ending was tragic. She was doing a horrible dance. Oh wait, that was "Cry, Cry Again."" That's the one with the guy trying to buy back a loaf of his soul, eh? Good stuff, but not as good as the young girl's strange, erotic journey from Milan to Minsk.

Hey, I recognize the camera work. This was shot by the guy who shot the Death Blow bootleg, right?

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Aug 21, 2007 -> 05:08 PM) Hell Tex, you could charge the underclassmen to be the "hookup" and pay off your books in one weekend. How drunk would they have to be before they'd want to hook up with Tex?? [Not that there's anything wrong with it. . . ] I Kid, I Care, So There®

QUOTE(3E8 @ Aug 20, 2007 -> 10:52 PM) Not familiar with sake but very very familiar with soju. Cool. I've not had the Korean stuff, but I recently tried the Japanese equivalent, shochu, for the first time. I guess it is now at least as popular in Japan as sake but it's to strong to be an everyday drink for me.

Shake it off Bobby and close it out.

Tough. Hat tip to Bobby.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Aug 20, 2007 -> 09:50 PM) That's the other reason I heard. Pretty sad when Halloween is afraid of competition. Wurd. They should do a theatrical re-release of Season of the Witch this year just to remind people what the face of true terror looks like. . . Six more days 'til Halloween, Halloween, Halloween. Six more days 'til Halloween. . . SILVER SHAMROCK!

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 20, 2007 -> 10:45 AM) Yep, bottled by Takara USA printed on the back. There is just something about drinking this stuff hot. Its the only liquor I really like served above room temperature. I like meads and honey-wines heated as well, and I'll enjoy hot mulled wine around the holidays, but for the most part I agree.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 20, 2007 -> 10:40 AM) And I'll argue that our government fails in homeland security and disaster response. Defense, not as much, but there's a lot to be desired when you look at the VA system (you want to mix defense and health care, that's a disasterous program - although it sounds like there's elements that are perhaps getting better). The government doesn't belong in any business - I'm a HUGE liberitarian when it comes to government interfereing with any element of our society. Having said that, there should be protections against some of the idiocy that happens with our current health care system and get it running efficiently. If the incentives are there to straighten it out, it will happen. But what economic incentives are there that will beat out the operant one behind the HMOs? The incentive there is basically to maximize profitability while minimizing the amount of real health care that gets dispensed.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 20, 2007 -> 10:26 AM) Actually, i just went and checked a bottle me and my wife had from our 1st anniversary, and we were served Sho Chiku Bai premium Ginjo Sake. So apparently i have had a different brand of sake. unfortunately i cannot report on the taste of this brand, because that night I was overloaded on sake, rice wine, champaign, and japanese beer. If that is from Takara USA I've had it and it's really nice. Takara USA's marketing line is that their water comes from Sierra Nevada Mountain snow melt and local Sacramento Valley rice. At first I naively though Japanese sake had to be better than American versions, but the Japanese parent company keeps Takara USA's quality standards high and I have not been disappointed by anything I've tried from them.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 20, 2007 -> 10:03 AM) Is our system perfect? HELL NO! Does it need changes? HELL YES! Is the answer "socialized" medicine, where I get told what doctor I will see, etc.? NOPE. There's the answer to Alpha's earlier question about why there are so few health care discussions. They end as quickly as they begin because of entrenched ideological positions against "socialized" medicine. Let's talk about moving toward some form of universal health care in this country without using the loaded terminology. It's been said here but it bears repeating – we leave the really important things like national defense and homeland security and disaster response to the feds so why not our health care? We can be productive, contributing members of society, pay into and carry full health coverage, and still be one just major health-related issue away from bankruptcy, foreclosure, etc. I'd say 90% of working America is in that boat. That is a failed health care system in need of more than a few tweaks.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 20, 2007 -> 10:01 AM) The only kind I have had is Nigori, and that is when i go to Domo 77 in Wheaton/Warrenville or Kobe in Lake Zurich. Nigori seems to be the preferred Sake at Japanese Steakhouses. I havent had any alternatives, but i do like nigori I'm jealous. Neither our Japanese steakhouses or our sushi bars sell nigori. Most stick with traditional dry junmai sake that can be served hot or cold. Occasionally they will offer a ginjo that uses more finely polished rice and can be more complex flavor-wise.
