QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 26, 2012 -> 10:23 PM) First semi-surprise, Clooney loses to the French dude from THE ARTIST. Wonder if we'll still remember: the Actor in a Leading Role, Jean Dujardin Director, Michel Hazanavicius five years from now? He'll be presenting the best actress award next year, will we remember who the hell he is then?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 26, 2012 -> 04:43 PM) Birmingham is 51.6% female. 1.5 to 1 would be 60% female. That's only accounting for Birmingham proper. There's another 1.5 million or so people who live in the suburbs in a 20 mile radius of Birmingham, like me. Going due south, Birmingham becomes Homewood, then Vestavia Hills, then Hoover (where the Barons play), then Pelham (where I live), then Alabaster. Alabaster is about 20 miles south of the B'ham city limits. There's no drop off, you'd think it was all one city. Almost all of Jefferson County and most of Shelby County are city, there's not much rural area.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 26, 2012 -> 12:42 PM) haha it was a joke. sorry to offend Sorry to overreact. "Stupid southerner" jokes tend to hit a nerve.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 26, 2012 -> 10:16 AM) Women are something like 52% of the population. On a whole or nationally, yes. But apparently in bigger cities, the ratio is much more dramatic.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 26, 2012 -> 12:01 PM) nah you dont, it's just the public school system at work down there. Aah, an a$$hole New Yorker with an inflated sense of superiority. Yeah, I didn't go to a public school. I did private and magnate schools, so don't go assuming I'm an idiot.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 26, 2012 -> 10:12 AM) 8-1? It's somewhere in that ballpark.

A thought that always comforted me when I was single was this... Women outnumber us like 8-1. Subtract the dudes who like dudes and the chicks who like chicks, and the ratio should be about the same. The odds are in our favor. It's her loss if she dumps you. You can recover and trade up.

No vinyl release planned for the new Mars Volta album as of right now. Fail.

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 25, 2012 -> 06:15 AM) Will they go the way of dry wash stands and baker's cabinets? My mother is convinced that when my son enters high school in a little over a decade, all of his books will be on an e-reader.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Feb 25, 2012 -> 02:03 AM) Has anyone seen the cast for Tarantino's Django film? WOW. Elaborate for us lazy folks.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Feb 24, 2012 -> 02:29 PM) I'm trying to psyche myself up to start "Infinite Jest." Its length and all the footnotes make it a little intimidating. Has anybody here tackled it? I'll give it a shot...eventually.

I passed on seeing QOTSA play a small venue in Birmingham where they were going to strictly play songs from their first album. Fail.

Cheers, Mark!

Cheers, Steve!

For the married guys with kids, I've discovered a secret... Doing more or as many chores around the house is beneficial if you catch my drift.

All of his cooking spots are being pulled at my work for this... Link

After crushing the Pizza Hut buffet, I went to an Apple store for the first time. It was terrifying.

Baseball games come out on my birthday, how apropos.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Feb 21, 2012 -> 11:34 PM) We agree? Weird. I'm convinced the toaster oven was put on this planet for the purpose of reheating pizza quickly. Hmmm, never tried the toaster oven. How long would you recommend?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 22, 2012 -> 08:20 AM) Like s***. Yeah, but still a fun game.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Feb 22, 2012 -> 04:35 PM) I read it, didn't like it much at all. Nothing much happened and the whole story was very predictable. And I really liked Momento, but haven't tried meth. Sure.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 21, 2012 -> 11:12 PM) Anyone with a pulse. That was a redundant question, my bad.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 21, 2012 -> 08:10 AM) The times reset every time a person puts in another bid, so that the bidders can't predict when it's going to end. Every bid then costs $1 or so. If there are 2000 bids before an ipad goes, the person who made the final bid might only have spent $5 or $10 to get it, but the company gets a $1500 profit on an ipad. There's really no trick to it, the winning bidder is just the person who happens to bid and then have the clock run the full way down without someone else bidding and restarting it. It's probably pretty darn close to random. Don't you wish you'd thought of it? Sounds like the owners of these sites are raking in the cash.

Bump...
