What webcomics do you read? Sluggy Freelance: Two guys and a lot of interdimensional trouble. I've been reading this one since 2002-ish. By now I just want to see how it ends. Sluggy passed its peak a long time ago, but it still has its moments....
Hey so I don't know about how this whole starting threads on TV shows thing works, and I know they do (or at least did) a thread on this back at that other place, but what the hey. So uh who watched it and what did y'all think? I'm definitely...
Back when it was new and I was 11, I hated the Dungeons & Dragons Saturday morning cartoon. I was a D&D player at the time and felt that the show sucked because of the "inaccuracies" and thought it was too childish. Well, I have kids of my own,...
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?
Zipping around in some pseudo-jet humming Beethoven's 9th does NOT equal Art Appreciation. Heathens. Why is it so impossible to teach anything about art? I swear 3/4 of the adults in this country think the point of a painting is to...
Some of you may have seen this over-the-top letter from Giles Coren to sub-editors (I guess thats Brit-speak for "copyeditor?) at the Times, in which he throws a tantrum because his words were changed from "for a nosh" to "for nosh." The man can...
I have gotten into a serious rut with the after work meals I have been cooking lately, so I was thinking maybe you all could help add a few new items to my quick and easy meals menu plan. The peramiters. 1) Must be relatively cheep to make (no...
One of my interests is anime: are there any other anime lovers here? I've just started on the series Sumomo mo Momo mo, which I'm finding very promising in spite of (or perhaps because of) the total cultural clash between the martial-art fanatic...
I was about to fix some sliced steak with bell pepper, onion, and thinly sliced potatoes. I'm kind of tired of the old fajita spice I use. I got to thinking, this would be good with a little of the red Tex-Mex sauce I've heard called carne sauce. ...
The thread that intially brought me to the SDMB was the debate on the Mutant Registration Act in GD - I thought it might be a nice thing to have at the beginning of this board, as well. Especially considering the (relatively) recent events wherein a...
So, I didn't love it, and I didn't hate it. It's not the worst thing we watch, and it's not the best. I'm getting a lot of "meh" out of it, mostly because I'm a straight girl and all the slinky femmes in skimpy outfits aren't doing much for me. I...
I'm considering cancelling my Comcast account based purely on that vile, wretched "Dream Big" commercial that makes me want to attack my own beloved television with a flamethrower. What commercials are you loving or hating lately?
Inspired by Esquire magazine's occasional feature, "The indefensible position" Whenever people on the internet discuss pizza, you can rest assured that no one likes Hawaiian style pizza. It's a subject of ridicule. Who is so forsaken by God as...
In the interests of revealing mortifying details about ourselves, here's the game: go to your movie collection, and list the ones that start with the letter B. We can use this information to form unwarrented opinions about one another, which is...
Go on...it's okay. You can admit it. Masterpiece Theater isn't on twenty-four hours a day, you know. I just got the biggest kick out of last night's show. I'm loving the irony that a woman who insists on being called "Countess," even to the...
Michael Jackson Auction Catalog Believe it or not, some of it is actually nice. But a good percentage of it is crap. And yes, there are a HELL of a lot of kiddy statues.
From the show's description: One of the race's frontrunners winds up at the back of the bunch after an unexpected plane landing. Who will be eliminated tonight?
I have precious little art on my walls and I'm thinking of having a couple Gaugin prints matted and framed: http://www.fulcrumgallery.com/a28609/Pa ... DAodOT_zkg Is it cheesy to do this? What prints of famous works do you have displayed?
A few years back I was introduced to a snazzy little poetic form called the hay(na)ku. I've heard some things described as taking seconds to learn and a lifetime to master. Well, hay(na)ku takes seconds to learn and, as often as not, seconds...
Another poster talked about the song, Sexual Healing which lead me to think about the great number of songs about sex - that don't use the word "sex" in the lyric or title. Here are the first few I thought of: I Wanna Rock With You Gimme Your...
I noticed that Michelle Obama's official portrait made the news today. I don't know much about photography, but I like the composition of this photo. The dress, necklace, hairstyle, pose -all flows so smoothly. I don't care for Barack's. It...
You just knew it was going to end that way. Howard finally gets him some. I wonder how long it will last?
Cuz I think Cervaise is prolly a cylon. And the BSG threads were one of my favorite parts of the Dope. I wouldn't necessarily be adverse to the notion of doing the weekly BSG thread here as a DOMEBO exclusive... :ugeek:
Was anybody else watching? Did you buy the video, and is it worth it? I thought their performance was mind-boggling - they really broke the fourth wall. Neatest thing I've seen in a long time.
I just don't have the heart to throw books in the rubbish. I thought burning them might be cool, in a twisted sort of way (just a bunch of Grisham and the like). I suppose I could sell them to the used book store for 5¢ apiece or something, but...
I'm trying to work up the gumption to do some cooking. I have a fridge full of beer, but I'm not a beer drinker. I was talking to an old friend who said he loves to put beer in pot roast, which made me think it might be pretty good in some...
It's so annoying when a movie receives undeserved praise. Mickey Rourke's and Marisa Tomei's faces were both fascinating, watching how they've aged, but other than a couple of mildly interesting scenes this movie was a snoozer. BTDT, ate the...
Fir the last hour, I've been out in the stadium watching the Marine Drum and Bugle Corps, Honor Guard and Silent Drill platoon perform. Stunning, as is to be expected from Marines. If you ever get a chance to see them perform, do not miss it! The...
This is probably the cue for a giant PALATN (Point And Laugh At The N00b)-fest, but I stumbled across this the other day while at home looking after my sick son, and because said son wasn't demanding a lot of attention I wound up scarfing down *all*...
I think this was literally the funniest episode of anything that I had ever seen. When Jemaine opened the door and Art Garfunkle was standing there, I almost died laughing. Not to mention Patton Oswalt, the Obama impersonator, the Japanese karaoke...
However, I have found that I make really good vegetable soup. Tasty. Which leads me to the conclusion that I grew up with a mother that can't cook. My mom's veggie soup: Dump a bunch of canned whatever into a pot. Add a can of tomato juice. ...
As is complained about constantly, the rules of elimination on Top Chef leave a lot to be desired. Currently, one mistake in an otherwise strong contestant can get one thrown to the curb. Aiming to win a given week doesn't help you at all past that...
I was actually going to start this thread to find out if anyone knew what the hell had happened to him, but it seems he has turned up. I'm sure this has been on the news in the UK, but I've missed it here in the States. I'm quite relieved - I was...
http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/story?id=6982226&page=1 It's been years since I heard one of his broadcasts, but his distinctive style was both informative and entertaining. Good night, Sir.
