Poems to Mellos from Mellos

This first day of Spring Break, I'm chomping down on a sausage, cheese, mustard and pickle on rye sandwich. Yes, for breakfast. Yes, my wife knows I'm eating this way. She made it for me. No, I don't get heartburn, but thanks for asking. ...
Mello, Mello on the wall, who's the fairest of them all? No poll, no vote, just show me who it is that you think is the most beautiful woman alive. I'll go first. :smile: Christina Hendricks (and her two friends):
The Enterprise is seen fulfilling her role as a flagship as the crew hosts several hundred delegates to a conference. Tempers flare, deals are made and intrigue re the future votes to include the Coridan system into the Federation. Spock's parents...
Some songs that help put a smile back on your face or some fire in your blood:
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...
... What can I do with a can of salmon? What can I do with a can of salmon? Ear-lye in the morning? So I have a little can of salmon, the same size as a can of tuna. I could make salmon salad, but that would be boring. So would a salmon...
Which bands do you listen to that you consider to be a "guilty pleasure"? As in, something you wouldn't want to be caught listening to. Most normal people would consider 90% of what I listen to guilty pleasure music (and I am a bit hesitant about...
Here's an old Smokey the Bear commercial that seems designed to instill pantswetting terror in children. I just watched it again to link it here and even knowing what was coming, I still jumped / screamed. Here is a genuinely disturbing AIDS...
...and other really good ones that you like. My favorite right now is The Big Bang Theory, but I also watch and enjoy How I Met Your Mother, which is probably "better." Sheldon and Barney are two of the funniest characters ever. I personally like...
Of course, the title of the thread refers to the cheestastic 80s hit "Ain't Nothin' Gonna Break my Stride" by Matthew Wilder. 28KobNbbI2s But I think my favorite one hit wonder is the fabulous Turning Japanese by The Vapors: 4HmDISe8RYY ...
Here are the results of the Domovision Song Contest. Results will be posted as follows: The submitter of each song will be revealed, then their votes will be posted as in the Eurovision. At the end, these will be totted up, any penalties for...
By far my favorite type of movie is bank robbery type movies. I enjoy the planning, the execution, and the possibility of a large payoff compared to an even larger risk. Off the top of my head, I've seen: Italian Job: Mark Wahlburg was...
My niece, enterprising darling that she is, has set up her very own shop on Amazon for selling confetti eggs. I've been encouraging her to find ways to make money where she can, since finding a job for a teenager right now is next to impossible...
Ah. Kentucky's finest. Corn, wheat/rye, a little barley and some cooperative yeast and you have Nature's Finest spirit. Genteel, yet dangerous. Smooth, but with an edge. America's Own booze. I love bourbon. Can you tell? Tonight I have...
Have you seen the commercial with the couple riding a tandem bike and the girl's hair blows into the guy's face? It's her underarm hair! :shock: I love it and hate it at the same time. My stomach leaps a little when it seems to go in his...
Time to poll and we'll keep this one secret. There is a lot of hate for this movie on this board, me I love it. So rate it on a scale from 1 to 10 like the IMDB.
Vote for as many choices as you like, write-ins are encouraged. Bonus topic: Haldir is hot.
Star Trek II (Khan) or Star Trek IV (whales)?
That's it really. Given the extensive physical damage Anakin Skywalker suffered (severe lava burns, limbs cut off) as he became Darth Vader is it believed or known for certain that he is...intact...down there? (If not it would be somewhat...
So... what is everyone reading? I recently bought four new books, thanks to a forgotten gift card that I found lurking in the back of my wallet. I got Dirty Job, by Christopher Moore, Water For Elephants, by Sara Gruen, A Thousand Splendid Suns,...
Any style, any components...it's all good. The Perfect Hamburger 1/3 lb. patty comprised of 30% hot Italian sausage, 70% 80/20 ground chuck, cooked medium Kaiser roll, toasted mustard, bottom bun, Plochman's Firehouse lettuce, one leaf,...
Simple enough, really: I want you to name the first three cult movies that come to your mind, or the three you most want to think about.
No emo touchy feely bullshit. Make me laugh or get the fuck out.
My husband and I saw the "Master of my Domain" episode of Seinfeld the other day, and it really was laugh-out-loud funny. Got us to talking about which sitcoms really have stood the test of time and which haven't. Which do you think are the true...
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...
Summer movie season is just a few months away and I was wondering what popcorn flicks folks are looking forward to. Personally, I can't wait for Terminator. Star Trek would be my second but I love the Terminator movies and the Trek trailer with...
Suppose for some reason you are only allowed to have 10 items to eat/cook with for the rest of your life. You may have unlimited water and access to the finest in cooking tools, including freezer/oven/food processor/whatever you think you need. The...
Michael picked the wrong country song.
Let me be clear about something up front. I've never read a single Sherlock Holmes book. I've never seen a single Sherlock Holmes movie. The closest I've ever come to that is watching an episode of House once. I don't have any great fondness for...
Last night on The Golden Globes, they honored Scorsese and played a montage of his biggest films. You know, Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, The Last Waltz, The Departed, The Aviator, etc. You know, the films that have had a major impact on pop...
It's a new reality show about a FLDS polygamist family. There's one husband (of course), 3 wives, and 12 kids. They live in a huge house which is divided up so each wife basically has an apartment in it with her own kitchen, bedrooms, etc., but...
I have just dived into a new Paul McCartney bio. It's called Fab and it's by a guy named Howard Sounes. So far it seems pretty good...I'm only up to Paul & John meeting for the first time, and already he's told a couple stories about Paul & his...
I wrote a first draft of this right after filming, and recently revised it, now that the movie has been released in the U.S. and we're released from the studio's nondisclosure agreement. Hope you like it. I'll remember that night for a long, long...
As has been pointed out time and time again, the Federation seems to have forgotten what seatbelts are, as well as anti-virus programs, firewalls, and surge protectors. I'm wondering what else people can think of that the Federation seems to have...
I just re-rented Sin City and after having watched it a second time, I think that, besides the novel film-making technique (filming a movie to make it look like a comic book), the story is actuall not all that great. Especially the whole section...
The music to torture an enemy with thread prompted me to ask this question. What generally respected artist, art piece, or art movement do you find dubious? For example, my mother collects the mass-marketed crap produced by Thomas...
We were talking about Breakfast at Tiffany's the other day and Fenris mentioned Mickey Rooney's role as the Japanese janitor. No matter what you think of the rest of the film, the scenes with this character bring it to a screeching jaw-dropping...
You know them. The songs that misty-eyed drunks belch along to. The songs that, for some reason, when combined with beer, seem to sum up the purpose of peoples' entire lives. Think shirtless tailgaters, guys who still wear their HS...
Today, one of my coworkers asked me a terribly random and silly question. Coworker: If you could be anything from any movie ever, what would you be? Me: Uh...I don't really know. Coworker: I'd be a Transformer, or Jack Nicholson from The...
A new season, a new start. The Enterprise and her topnotch crew are still on their 5 year mission and have settled into functioning as a well-oiled machine. Kirk, Our Hero and Illustrious Captain, knows he can totally rely on the cool-headed logic...
If we were going to make the ULTIMATE list of horror movies, what should be included? I'll compile all the nominations so we can vote on the top ten! Off the top of my head, my picks are Drag Me to Hell, Evil Dead II, Nightmare on Elm Street,...
Welcome to the 2nd whenever-we-feel-like-it DoMeBoVision Song Contest! It will be much like the last one, except with a few rule changes from TheFlame's authentic Eurovision version. First of all, you can vote for your own song, and votes can be...
Oh man, yummy. Like being in Mexico. Cleaner, crisper, more refreshing. Screw the throwback part, just make Pepsi this way.
Maybe I've been living under a rock and everyone else has heard of these, but they were new to me and I want to spread the word. The other day a friend showed me The Visitor, a brilliant little film about an economics professor in Connecticut who...
Mine is Inconsolata. It used to be Courier New, for quite a long time, and generally I find monospaced fonts most satisfying. How bout y'all?
**There will be spoilers throughout this discussion**. Ah, Gigi. The charming, Oscar-winning musical about the sexual exploitation of a child. ;) From a technical standpoint it is a very good film. The songs are catchy and the lyrics...
(I'll go first) ...read any of Ernest Hemingway's novels. I consider myself a fairly well-read individual, English was one of my top subjects in school, yet I've never read a full-length book by the man that some consider the greatest...
aka Captain Decker and the Giant Liver Fluke in Space. Seriously, this alien entity is just a bit too much and a whole lot of nothing from the special effects department. Upon occasion I feel they were just phoning it in.... Decker does a good...
