TAR cracked me up. Drive across the water! Put the camel in the truck! I liked that the frats were just like "Man, we suck" when they kept getting lost. And I still like the hippies -- in a way they remind me of Cha Cha Cha -- sure, they have schtick, but it actually helps them in the race, and they're still having fun.
Natter .44 Magnum: Do You Feel Chatty, Punk?
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Bwah -- this week's Onion, Baby, You Mean The World Of Warcraft To Me:
When we met, I was looking for a group fit to take the Zul'Gurub instance. But as I stocked up on provisions at the convenience store before my quest, and our eyes locked, I realized that I was not looking for a group, I was looking for love, and I found it in you. You are the sun, the moon, the Cinderhide Armsplints of the Monkey. There is so much we have to offer one another. Unfailing loyalty, a Strength of 250, someone who can go out for snacks in the heat of battle. Can't you see we're made for each other?
Huh. I click on that Onion link and I see a banner ad: "Serenity in theaters 09.30.05"
Huh?
That's bizarre -- try this one: [link]
[eta: Oh, or did you just mean that the banner ad is woefully out of date? I might have misread.]
OK, I see an up-to-date banner ad....
or did you just mean that the banner ad is woefully out of date?
Yeah.
I'm sure they have software that rotates their banner ads. The old Serenity one must have just gotten in there with the new ones....
eta: I hit reload and got Serenity back again....
The Roomba people have a floor-washing robot:
Clean kitchen floors mystify humans!
It's called the iRobot Scooba, but with a name like that I'd think it would clean swimming pools....
The Rolling Stone article on Bush: The Worst President in History?
Also - dammit, someone else post something!
I am not feeling chatty, Tom. Sorry!
Although thanks for the procrastination tools. If you also deliver oreos, I'd be much obliged.
Alias: Why is it that Vaughn is so extra hawt when dressed as a priest or a monk ? Also, in the promo was that really, Evil Francie? Because I KNOW I saw Gina Torres.
TAR: Totally Camelicious -- I hope you saw it Aimee! I had to take notes so that I could recap it for my SIL who has Tennis until halfway through it. We're both suffering from the TAR/Alias cross-scheduling. I was predicting that it would be a NON-ELIM this week and I am so relieved to be right! It was very sad to see BJ so down -- and Yolanda did display more courtesy than most of the racers. Which, I suppose, balances out her part in the weird, "Let's not tell the Hippies Anything" episode at the airport that morning. First, Fran and Barry walking past the Frats like they were Lake and Michelle. Then the whole gang playing the idiotic pretend we don't know when our flight arrives game. So, do we get another non-elim leg this season ?
