I don't have time for coffee. My busy, active and caffeinated lifestyle demands Red Bull.

28% of people polled got the approximate number of US military personnel killed in Iraq, yet 84% of people polled know that Oprah campaigned for Obama? Jeebus.

Also, if you don't know who Ben Bernake is (and apparently 65% of people polled don't), Lemon Demon will help you.

I think DNF should be turned over to Flagship Studios for further development.

Bo, when you turn 18, call me. I will make you wise in the ways of the world. And then at least your homophobia will be very well informed.

My great-grandmother survived this storm only because she had typhoid fever and was located (and then stranded for some time) at a medical facility some distance from the coast and on higher ground. When telling me the story, she'd visibly start shaking. However, had this storm not happened she never would have gotten out of Galveston and met my great-grandfather, and my family would not exist.

A guy would say seven buckets. A gal would say five.

I've seen a couple of eps of Black Books and it's also hugely funny. Wish I could find more of them. Perhaps if there were some sort of network where files were easily traded between users ... I'd definitely get in bed with Robert Redford for something like that!

Back to AD though, the humor builds with repeat viewings. Jason Bateman is--somewhat surprisingly to me since the only other thing I'd seen him in previously was Teen Wolf, Too! and always... [more]

It's not like NBC and other networks/wire services/other slowtards haven't ever mocked up (easily discovered) webpages to cover imminent/unlikely/outlandish events.

Wow, I didn't realize there was so much on YouTube. Certainly more the last time I went searching for things related to the Carol Burnett Show. This is one of those times when YouTube=good. I'm crying from both mirth and sadness right now.

bicyclefish, you obviously never saw Londo and Vir singing snippets of Centauri opera to each other.

About the only thing that kept me interested in BSG's third season after the exodus from New Caprica was the music. So cheers to McCreary for that, at least.

Oooo, you simply must watch Babylon 5. The effects haven't withstood the test of time, and really the characters exist only to service the plot, and you're going to spend most of the first season (and probably the first third of the fifth season) wondering what the hell you're doing but butbutbut the characters of and the actors behind Londo and G'Kar eclipse all that and anchors a truly epic, if at times flawed, story.

They nailed it! Congratulations to all involved.

And DAMN those thrusters must have been powerful. The first couple thousand meters of landing just zoomed by, as soon as the thrusters kicked in, it's slowed WAYYYYYY down. Awesome.

Dude, do you really need your gaydar to determine that Amy's male maid of honor--who also sings Broadway tunes and has the organizational skills to get an entire cast singing and dancing without, apparently, the bride's knowledge--is gay?!?

That's not gaydar. That's just deduction.

I loved the books, but the miniseries really grabbed me back in the day. I've been a fan of Laura Linney, Olympia Dukakis, and Donald Moffatt ever since.
