  1. That's cool. I'm a nerd about fans. Ceiling fans, rotary fans, traditional Japanese paper fans, cross flow fans, laptop fans, industrial fans.
  2. You can take care of the problem or you can stay comfortable and have a head. Your call.
  3. If you read the title of this thread and skipped ahead to the final page, you'd probably assume that Josh Reed insulted Buffalo's pizza joints.
  4. Denouement - The pivotal conclusion to a story's conflict, usually involving some sort of reveal. Penultimate - Next to last Extrapolation - The use of existing information or data to derive predictions. Sanitized View - A matter of extreme ugliness being presented in such a way that it seems harmless or matter-of-fact. Interesting thought, but my hesitation is in that the media has never played a significant role on Breaking Bad. The final scene would be a strange time to assert a new motif.
  5. I think Jay's point was that such a simplistic analysis could be provided by literally anybody who follows the NFL, not an Insider.
  6. The Nelson thing puzzles me too. When it started a couple years back, I thought people were just confusing him with Shawn Nelson. Now that that's clearly not the case, is it just because he's a tall receiver who doesn't lineup out wide? I also don't agree with his characterization of Marcell Dareus as an X-factor, because... 1) He was consistently solid for a rookie D-lineman. 2) In the unlikely case that Dareus flames out, there are still 2 pro bowlers on the line. If anybody is an X-Factor, it's Gilmore.
  7. rooster is a considerably more plentiful commodity than kitty, but most of us simply aren't consumers.
  8. Howl wasn't significant when it was published?? Now, I personally think Ginsberg was a pretentious hack, but that thing was a whirlwind.
  9. 37 for me. It's obviously a matter of subjectivity, but I have one complaint. If only a small handful of playwrights make that list, nothing by Tennessee Williams should be present. Where's Arthur Miller?
  10. http://www.businessinsider.com/rush-limbaugh-bain-capital-batman-bane-obama-romney2012-7 Does every goddamn thing have to be a conspiracy theory?
  11. Remember Leftwich at Marshall being carried down the field by his teammates?
  12. Look man, we all make mistakes. It's cool. I just don't want any trouble. Nobody needs to get...biopsied.
  13. Look, the Bills have a tradition of giving up more points than they score. Maybe it's not a proud tradition, but it's a tradition, and one of these days it's going to turn out in their favor. You don't change your horse midstream.
  14. I've always disliked this terminology from the media. Makes it sound like these guys accidentally stumble into bad situations.
  15. Certain athletes just seem to be of a different breed when it comes to pain tolerance. I'm just in awe when I see a hockey player get hit in the mouth with the puck, lose a couple teeth and pop back on the ice a few minutes later.
  16. The two IR stints were for an inflamed hernia and torn pectoral muscle. Painful stuff , but not known as nagging injuries. If we were talking about ligament damage, I'd be more concerned.
  17. MDP, I'm thinking you probably should have explained things for people who didn't see the origin of this in the Shoutbox.
  18. Thank you. Seinfeld, to me, was a show with hilarious concepts and dreadful delivery. The best example is Festivus...the whole idea is funny, but that episode doesn't even scrape the surface of its potential humor. (In my opinion) Plus, Jerry is just annoying and Kramer is semi-funny, but why does there need to be uproarious laughter and applause just because he enters a room? I get a kick out of George Costanza sometimes, though.
  19. I did a write up on that episode. http://www.entertainment-bureau.com/louie-review-episode-3-03-miami/2399 I thought it was pretty funny stuff. The typical TV comedy is farcical in nature (sight gags, one liners, misunderstandings), which I think is why watching something more absurdist and pensive is a shock to the system.
  20. No love for The Simpsons? My top 5...bear in mind, I'm too young for anything before the mid-90's. 1. Arrested Development 2. Louie 3. Simpsons 4. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia 5. Community
