I just went through our list and deleted things like "Survivor: Toucatins." Now the list looks like this: 1. Big Bang Theory 2. Castle 3. Corner Gas 4. Next Food Network Star (pending) 5. Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives 6. Whose Line Is It...
I have no recollection of how I ended up with tickets to either of these concerts -- I think they may have been part of my parents' subscription series and they didn't want to go, or couldn't, for whatever reason -- I definitely didn't buy them...
I'm putting together a radio show for American Independence Day. I've got some good, appropriate songs, but some of my selections are more, well, left-leaning. Here's what I have so far: 1. “Just a Bill” – Schoolhouse Rock 2. “This Land Is Your...
I was at a dorm event about a month ago and in the middle of "Don't Stop Believing", everybody that I could find was doing the solo in the middle (you know which one I'm talking about). I wish I had a picture, but my flash was recharging. What...
If I could only have one cocktail for the rest of my life, it would probably be a Bloody Mary. I like kicking back ice cold vodka at a Russian restaurant. But, for all that, is their anything really to say about vodka? Is there any premium that...
Are there any? I mean, you've got: - Good books adapted horribly into movies (Stephen King, with a few exceptions, is a huge victim of this phenomenon.) - Good books adapted into good movies - Good movies novelized into mediocre books ...
Let's start a thread for us foodies and cooks, especially those of us who like to take pictures of stuff when it turns out great. Milk Chocolate & Stout Bread Pudding with Bailey's Ice Cream and Whiskey-Caramel Sauce.
I know the show came out in 1999 and ran for 3 seasons, so it isn't exactly current. But in 1999 I was in no position to be aware of, much less watch, American TV (I was living in Mozambique with a newborn), so it is only recently that I've come...
Ow! My Balls! now available in the iTunes App Store.If you're a fan of dystopian humor, like in the movie "Idiocracy," this may be the game for you. Introduced Monday by Jetson Creative, Ow My Balls! is a funny game that brings some unusual...
I think enough time has passed for us to look back with objective clarity. John Candy: Genius or just passably funny. You decide.
I'm coming from a very specific, and very serious, perspective: part of my job calls for me to observe newly-hired English professors and write up an evaluation of the class(es) I observe, with the immediate goal being to re-hire (or not) the...
I was on Facebook just now, doing one of those "5 Things" dealies, when I started thinking about the worst concert experiences of my life: - I walked out of U2's "Joshua Tree" show in Atlanta when they did this halfass rendition of "New Year's...
This creates mixed emotions in me, but is no less effective because of that. What The World Needs Now!
On another board I frequent, someone was looking for book (either fiction or non-fiction) recommendations, and while I was making my case for a book by David McCullough (The Johnstown Flood), I couldn't help but think, "You know, he is such a good...
In an old life I was most like Scarlett O’Hara (bitch that no one could stand but that got shit done). Now? Bilbo Baggins. Like Bilbo, I love maps, am fastidious with my things and loathe unexpected guests. I am perfectly happy with just my...
Title says it all...post recipes for your favorite libations. The tastier & more potent, the better!
This is an idea that works well on another (music-dedicated) forum that I post on, and I'd appreciate some feedback to see how much interest there would be or whether it could work on Domebo. The idea is this: A number of people PM me a...
There's a few movies I've seen that no one else seems to have caught. A shame, because I feel like talking about them. Anyway, what have you seen that seems to have fallen through the cracks? I have two: Tales From Gimli Hospital Taxi...
I like gin. In fact, I have a hard time conceding that a vodka martini is, in fact, a martini. Yet, I don't feel that I've ever had a gin that gives me everything I want from a gin. Bombay Sapphire comes close, but not quite. Where should I go for...
It's been a long time since I had a really, really good sandwich. I know that I've had some incredible, knee-weakening doozies in the past, but I just can't remember what all went in them anymore. So tell me about your awesome sandwich...
Queen on American Idol, with Adam hitting Freddie's notes gave me a chill and brought tears to my eyes. The best group sing I've seen in the eight years on the air. I enjoyed most of the show. No spoilers. The results are coming now!
So, does anyone have any favorite lines from the film that they plan on whipping out whenever the excuse avails itself?
Last night, dh took me out to a movie and dinner. We saw the new Star Trek flick (both like it) and then went to one of our fave local "semi-upscale establishments". We shared a Crab Louis for an appetizer. He ordered a Salmon stuffed with Crab...
My personal case in point. I suppose I'm glad that someone out there apparently enjoys this painting enough to spend over $9 million for it, but I...just...don't...get it.
In the film Idiocracy (and the similar short story The Marching Morons), various factors reduce humanity to a mass of drooling idiots. Interestingly enough, the short stories Armageddon 2419 AD, its sequel, The Airlords of Han by Philip Frances...
My better half is trying to get into the biz of soundtrack composition. She's about to be listed on a site that networks filmmakers with composers and would like to practice catering to the specific wishes of a client. I'm looking for any...
I haven't made up my mind what I think of these three videos. Subversive comes to mind, and so does satire but neither quite fit or fully describe the videos. They scare me at times too. But they are brilliant and worth watching. What do you...
Last Wednesday, I set my DVR to record the season finale of Lost. Next day, I found that it had lost the ability to read a disc. Apparently this has happened to a lot of people who bought Panasonic DVD/VHS combos. So I was left with a disc that I...
MUNK with Asia Argento "Live Fast Die Old" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BubXYCoL_E0 I don't know what to say -- just f-ing -- WOW!
Shall we just do the rest of the season as one thread? Finally got caught up this weekend. Observations: -- Maybe I'm just in a cranky mood, but I don't give a damn if any of these dipshits wins a million dollars. -- Tyson is just a big a...
Apocalypse Now! OK, that's about all I've got, but the thread's started. Will we learn any more about the true plans of the dick angels? What the hell is Ruby up to? Will we be left going "WTF? I've got to wait all summer to find out...
I have unfortunately committed myself to producing two pairs of Hidden Passion Socks. As you can see from the linked pics, some parts of the sock are striped - two rows in Yarn A, two in Yarn B. What's the best way to carry the yarn for such...
When Bravo saw the writing on the wall for losing Project Runway, they launched their own competition. "The Fashion Show" starts on Thursday, May 7 at 10:00 pm. Be there or be outre!
I had a ball watching this week's episode. Poor Sweets (he's a great actor, I felt his pain) after Bones told him about Whatsername at the bridal shop. Composite murderer - good twist. Nice ending - Bones admitting her jealousy.
Now, obviously, the loaves aren't shaped like the neat little bread pans I have. They come out like, well, hand-shaped loaves. However, they're probably the most perfect homemade bread I've ever had. Chewy and soft on the inside, crispy on the...
Given that Star Wars is set a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away I was wondering if one of my long time assumptions was correct, that the human-looking characters in that universe (Luke, Leia, Han Solo et al) are the same species as us, with...
I figured since there aren't any threads for any of them I'd just make one for all of them. Parks & Reacreation is really starting to grow on me. It's been renewed for a second season, so I'm hoping they find their stride. For the moment I...
Anybody seen this? Not a great movie, but worth watching, particularly if you're an Austen fan or a book lover in general. It not only has Jane Austen goodness, it gets major points for mentioning some great science fiction authors and for promoting...
So what did everyone think of last night's season finale? I thought it was a very good one. The opening, Jeopardy, The Update and the final Skit with all the surprise guests worked very well among others.
The yearly contest of the best music that Europe has to offer is back open us. It's Eurovision Song Contest Time, the countries have been selected on it's all eyes on Moscow on Saturday for the final. The competitors have been chosen and are all...
Last night of bachelorhood before the wife returns from her business trip, so I'm having German potato salad with sausage and onions. And bourbon.
Anybody remember this made-for-TV (or at least I saw it on TV)? It involved a middle-aged women finding out her best friend from college died. When she go's to the friend's hometown for the funeral she's accosted by residents asking her questions...
After reading this recent thread I have a question: How well known are Franco-Belgian comics outside continental Europe? Here series like Asterix, Tintin or Lucky Luke are among the best-selling comic books and everybody would know at least the...
I'll be seeing Angels and Demons today. Why would I do such a thing? Because it'll make my girlfriend happy. Problem: Just reading a synopsis of the movie caused my eyes to roll so far back in my head that I saw my own brain. (I think it was...
That is to say: is cutting through a block of super-dense metal just as easy as cutting off that one guy's hand, or that one other guy's hand? What about a guy wearing a wrist-guard of super-dense metal? Does the wielder sense any sort of...
I've read American Gods, and think it's pretty decent. I've read the into to Anansi Boys, and it looks ok. I read Smoke and Mirrors, and that was decent, too, but the rest of his stuff looks sort of fluffy. Is it any good?
I don't get to the movie theater often, but if this ever actually gets released dammit I'm going! This has awesome written ALL over it. And I'm taking my wife, even if I have to bonk her over the head and carry her (she hasn't trusted me since I...
It has come to my attention that there might be some members of the board who are unfamiliar with the wonderful and varied music of Mr. Tom Waits. This seemed like such a horrible wrong that I thought it was time that DoMeBo had it's own Tom Waits...
I've always wanted to read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; that thing is bound to have some weird wild stuff in it. Same with Mr. Burn's autobiography Will There Ever Be A Rainbow, the demonic conjurations it probably has are worth the...
I'm starting this thread for one reason alone. The Dark Knight Returns was on of the greatest Batman stories ever told, hands down. DK2 got so much less respect and I'm here to defend it. The first Dark Knight got so many applauses because...
