"We don't know whether to cry. Or laugh. Or hope to God that..."

Espresso on Ice is Not Okay
Most of the people who want espresso on ice are just going to dump a bunch of milk in it at that condiment station to make an iced latte at half the price.
I totally do this at Starbucks every single day, with pleasure, and they couldn't care less.
I once went to a local coffee-snot shop (Vivace) and did the same thing....as I'm at the condiment bar dumping in some 1/2 and 1/2, I realize the barista is YELLING at me "UH,... [more]

Marge Innovera's Favorite TV Show
.... after listening to them for, I think, 20 years, the grinding formulaic nature of the show....I still love the Puzzler. But I wish they had introduced even one new segment in the last 5 years. The ex-wife jokes are very Catskills, 1960.....
Wherein someone explains PRECISELY why I ADORE them so very, very much. :)

A new jug ships clean
Why not just the little black crescent you push with your glass, like at the soda machine?
because that little black crescent opens up the valve to the co2 tank that's hidden where you can't see it and causes the syrup water and co2 to get all mixed together
Not so - my $20 coffee maker has a press-n-pour spigot of sorts, it just releases the stopper holding the coffee in the carafe. You just push your mug against it.... [more]

that's nice - i was describing how a soda machine works, not a $20 coffee maker
Right, but maybe I misunderstood your point - I thought you responded to the person asking why you can't just "push the black disk" like you do on a soda fountain to get milk, which of course, you can in my example. No need for snottiness.

Anger Management Gas Station
So, elsewhere in the world gas can cost $10/gal and people can still get to work/school/store. People in American cannot.
Sorry, but that's rubbish. Fuel is in no way a significant enough cost here to pretend that people can't afford to go to work or school because of it.
What's the "here" you're referring to?

So that's why it's called IPA
There is no beer hoppy enough to satisfy me and they can be as unbalanced as they wanna be as long as the HOPS NEARLY KILL.

Hello. Are you me?
Heh heh heh - I was hoping that this admission would get me some recommendations. For serious, if I can't smell the pint coming at me from a yard away, it ain't hoppy enough.
I live in Seattle, so this is usually not a problem. Going back east to visit... [more]

Well, in Boston, at least, you should be able to get a Harpoon IPA in most places.
My problem is that I'm SOOOO spoiled by Seattle beer that to me a Harpoon tastes like some sort of beerish liquid.

You guys are great, these suggestions will help!
I DID have Smuttynose last summer in Maine - it IS good! Only at the packie tho, didn't see it in any bars back east.
uncleozzy - thanks for the "program", heh. I've been drinking beer for lo the last 18 years or so, and started out on Bud and its ilk, the past 8 years have been devoted to stronger and stronger hops. I've grown, man, you can't keep me down. ;)

Oh, PS, my comment was about Obama, I didn't even scroll down to the others because I had to, uh, go change my underwear. Good lord I want to bone that dude.

Now that I've recovered from my Obama lust attack.....you know what I liked best about that video? He was HOLDING BACK. Motherfucker can bust a MOVE, but didn't, for propriety's sake or something, and it makes me tremble to think how he'd get his groove on were he not The Nominee. Holy fuck, he'd rip it UP, you KNOW IT.

An Affair to Remember
This article utterly broke my heart. Just broke. As though the elderly, and the demented, and particularly the elderly AND demented don't suffer enough, to see this simple, beautiful thing that made them happy ripped from them makes me just want to weep.

Before Roe vs. Wade.
There's not a woman I know who supported Clinton who will NOT support Obama. Annoyed, disappointed, yes. Pissed off about the outrageously sexist coverage from some corners, yes. But stupid? No fucking way.
CNN just reported that a poll they did indicates that 17% of Clinton supporters will vote McCain, and 22% won't vote at all now. WTF????

I suspect this view will make me unpopular. S'ight. It's art, designed to provoke reactions, and that was mine.
FWIW, I completely agree with you.

Carrie Bradshaw knows good sex*
I guess this is as good a time as any to bring up the mysterious subject of female celebrities and their old lady hands.
Is this a side effect of HGH?
I think it's related to lack of body fat, right?

“Study without reflection is a waste of time; reflection without study is dangerous”
Another low for investigative journalism. A couple of minutes with a piece of grade-school science-project-size cardboard would demonstrate where the images were coming from, but no, the idiotic newsman apparently concurs with the kids: "It's aliens!"
Uh, it seems to me like this is all, you know - tongue in cheek.
You don't think the reporter is serious, do you? No way.

I shot Saint-Exupéry down
and that he regretted this his whole life.
Actually he's only regretted it since 2004, when he found out who's plane he shot down. Before that he had no way of knowing.
I'm guessing that his regret for killing a man did not begin on the day he found out that man's name.

I am as cynical a douche as they come, yet.....I found myself grinning like an idiot by the end of this, in much the same state I found myself at the end of "Love, Actually".

PA, I am 36 years old and I remembered every word of Yuckmouth. I haven't seen it in decades. Just amazing that this stuff sticks in your brain so long. Yay marketing!
I was JUST going to say the exact same thing, but am 37. Every freaking word I remember.

"After looking at this pad, Hugh Hefner is a square"
The house is - or at least was - owned by James Brooks, the Simpsons producer. John Hodgman went to a party there once, and he told me that his favorite part of the tour of the house was when they got to the Brooks' master bedroom and James told John that when they moved in they floored over the 12 PERSON SOLID GOLD JACUZZI IN THE BEDROOM.
You read that right.
