FanPost for Baseball Talk, and for Not Baseball Talk!
I have been pondering doing this for several days now, and since we have BIG news today to go along with another fine post by Mr. UpBaby, I figured what they hay...let's get a fanpost going for all those times when we tend to go off topic and tangle up a main post thread. We could also talk about how MattyfromMo can torture those who are fans of the written word by failing to use commas properly. So if you really wanna get off topic, try giving this thread a try. As always, if OUR VEB OVERLORDS think that this is a worthless endeavor, please feel free to blow this SOB up. If this does work, I say we leave it up for at least a week, or until 2000 comments, whichever comes last. Why? Because nothing will keep people who don't need to go into a OT thread quite like a 2000 comment thread. Auto tag helper....Matt Morris, cuz every fanpost should have some of those red words linked.

I am having pasta.
That I made myself. Sauce and all. And grape juice.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
Yummy.
I had pasta with scallops in a red wine sauce the other day. Today it’s just tomato sauce with onions, garlic, and shallots.

Shallots are so awesome
What’s that, you want to combine onions and garlic into one super-vegetable? Mother Nature has already provided for you!

I love all of those vegetables cooked and shallots just give you more of the flavors of onions and garlic!

One of my favorite foods is the Jacques Pepin-recipe steak my dad makes
It has this shallot-y reduction that you throw on there to finish it off om nom nom nom.
Sorry. A good steak can make men behave in strange ways.

there are a few places that do good steak in the UK, and yeah I'd agree that mainland europe might be better in most countries
but for some reason despite the traditional idea of “british beef”, the knowledge about and quality of steak just pales in comparison to the USA. Obviously, there’s good steak and bad steak in both countries, but I’d be pretty confident about walking into any decent restaurant in new york, ordering, I dunno, a hanger steak, and having a very nice meal, whereas I’d probably not order steak anywhere in the UK, as I can cook it myself (and, with the butchers I know near where my folks live, probably with better quality meat) as well as most restaurants you’d find nearby.
I think part of it is that steaks aren’t hung and aged in the UK in the same way they are in better places in the states. I’m not sure if it’s just that those techniques aren’t very widespread here (I’d say we’re not steak eaters to the same extent as the typical yank) or that there’s some health and safety or food hygiene legislation that makes it more difficult (I suspect that’s at least part of the issue).
Mind you, I still think good japanese beef is pretty much the cream of the crop. Yum. Anyhow, best not let the moocow catch us talking about consuming his brethren…

Probably the biggest problem I have with food in the states (being a big cheese fan)
is the fact that, to quote stephen fry, “Americans just don’t get cheese”. Whilst you can get semi-decent cheese in most of the big metro areas in specialist stores (and maybe even a bit more now in supermarkets), most of the stuff that’s passed off as cheese in the US is pretty appalling. In all honesty, the UK is pretty poor in this regard too (compared to, say, France), but we do at least have some traditional cheeses and styles of our own that are very good. I’m not even aware (except for a few pretty naff mass-produced varieties) of any good american cheeses.
Another thing I’ve always felt that is hugely over-rated (at least for my palate) is pizza in the US. I think the chicago deep-dish style just isn’t very nice (compared to an authentic thin & crispy italian job) and, although I don’t mind the NY version, I’ve tried pizza in a lot of different towns in a few different styles, in places that’ve been recommended, and I’m yet to have a really good one in the US that’s way ahead of what you can get from chain eateries. When I was in Boston in 2008 I (and four friends) went to this place, http://www.ernestosnorthend.com/, which is a highly recommended and apparently very good traditional new england pizza place (basically using the NY style, more or less, from what I could tell). The pizzas were DISGUSTING. A big part of the problem was using a very salty cheese (not sure exactly what, it was almost like a salty riccotta) to absolutely smother everything, having a mediocre base, and far, far too many toppings that just drowned the whole thing. We all pretty much agreed that it was some of the worst pizza we’ve ever had.
Conversely, American beer is severely, severely under-rated by europeans, I think. It might be because a lot of the good stuff doesn’t get here, and I think palate differences are pretty pronounced too (british beer, in particular, is a lot more bitter, hoppy and less sweet than most american versions of brit styles), but for my money the US produces the most interesting variety of quality beers around the world now, and probably has for a few years. Most of my favourites are still european-produced but, again, that’s probably because of the lack of US beer available here (although I go to a specialist shop that imports probably 50-100 different US varieties, along with the requisite belgian, german and dutch brews). My opinion of american beer is very, very high, though.
I think palate differences probably play a large part in differences in food either side of the pond – in general, I find a lot of things in america to be too sweet for my tastes (although I don’t have a sweet tooth at all). Bread’s too sweet, beer’s too sweet, wine’s too sweet, a lot of sauces etc. are a bit heavy on the sugars. I suspect the opposite probably works with people born & raised in the US coming to europe.

I hope you're not basing US pizza on Boston
I’ve lived here for over 5 years and have yet to find anything that is even as good as what you could get in St. Louis, let alone what you’d get in NY.
I’m surprised to hear you say that British beer is more bitter and hoppy than American ones, because the main lamentation I hear about American beers from American beer snobs is that American craft brews just bludgeon you with hops without balancing them correctly. As far as I’m concerned, the IPA is king, so I have no issues with the hoppier trends in american brews of late.

I like the NY style
I’m just not sold on deep-dish in general, or totally overloaded pizzas with a bunch of rich flavours that don’t really work together (another general US pizza trend that seems to be fairly ubiquitous everywhere).
I’m sure I’ve not tried the best but, like I said, I’ve had recommendations in a number of towns (NYC, Bos, StL, Minneapolis, Chicago) and I can’t remember a really good pizza I’ve had in the US.

I'm right with you on the IPA's
When I walk into a bar, my first two questions are:
- Do you serve Guinness?
- What is your best IPA?
If I get a weird look, I generally walk out, or, if I’m with friends, I’ll drink cheap beer or a Manhattan.
Can Colby round out our new MV3?
Is there a better IPA than Flying Dog's IPA? I think not.

the Goose Island one is pretty damn good.
Is there a worse IPA than Boulavard’s? I KNOW there isn’t, lol. It smells like sewage and doesn’t taste much better.
Can Colby round out our new MV3?
there are a lot of really mediocre IPAs from the UK
there’s some super-good ones too (UK ones seem to be a bit less hoppy, and a bit less sweet, in general). Deuchars, which is a very common scottish IPA that you can get in practically every pub in Edinburgh, is actually an OK, sorta average pint, but it’s not really an IPA in my opinion. I think an American palate would probably find it a bit tasteless.

sounds intriguing
not sure about how the combo of the whiskey hint with the typical IPA flavour would work, but I’d be very keen to try it.
There’s a good beer (another scottish one!) called Innis & Gunn oak-aged beer that you might be able to get in the US, as it’s become quite commonly available here. It’s aged for about a month in single malt scotch whiskey casks. I’m quite a fan of it, but it’s a strange one in that I think it’s really a lot better at the right temperature – refrigerated, it’s a bit too cold, room temp it’s a bit too warm. I guess half an hour in the fridge is about ideal.

I prefer Goose Island to Flying Dog
I neglected to mention above I’ve had a lot of Flying Dog beers, and I’m generally pretty impressed by them. They’re one of the american beers that are reasonably inexpensive here. As I said above, for some reason, the Rogue beers (which I really, really like, especially the stout) are just RIDICULOUSLY expensive here, like double the price of pretty much any other Yank beer, when you can find them (I’ve only seen it in my specialist beer shop, which imports a lot of rare stuff).
We get a lot of Sierra Nevada beers here, too, especially the pale ale, although I think it’s only average, really.

If it makes you feel better..
Rogue is a top tier price point for beer over here as well. One of the priciest on my grocers shelves…..but I haven’t bought a six pack in over a year so I’m not sure where it’s at right now.
I cuurently have the afore mentioned Single Malt IPA on tap, an IPA from Bitter Root Brewery, which is quite good, but not as hoppy or flavourful as the Black Foot (this keg was free, who am I to argue), and Sam Adams Winter Lager.

I think it's the disconnect between mass-produced beer and the surging craft beer industry
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
exactly (in answer to both of you)
i like some of the Rogue beers I’ve tried (though they’re INSANELY expensive here, no idea why), and I’m a big fan of Goose Island IPA (from Chicago), which might actually be my favourite sessional IPA, and one of my favourite regulars, despite being a bit sweeter than my normal preference for that sort of brew.
TBH, even here, I tend to buy Belgians and Brit ones more often than not (I think, as with any food/drink, the time and place kinda matters – somehow it seems a bit wrong to me to be drinking a californian summer ale when it’s -2 outside, in the north of england, in january) so I’ve probably not expanded my horizons of Yank beers as much as I should.
Sam Adams summer ale is a nice one too, although again I suspect that might be the time/place thing, as I remember sinking a few in Boston last year, when it was sunny and beautiful. I like a few of the American Imperial Stouts I’ve tried, although I think they’re sometimes a bit bludgeoning, flavour-wise, and (again) overly sweet (too much chocolate and not enough coffee, that sorta thing).
I had a fantastic micro-brew in newport, ct when I was there, a local one, which I’ve been trying to track down since. I’m afraid I can’t recall the name.
American macro lager is total shit, however. I’m afraid even though the European macros (Grolsch and San Miguel and Becks and the like), which are no great shakes, are far better than the Buds and Millers of this world. Rice, as far as I can tell, has no place in beer (take note, anheuser-busch-in-bev or whatever the hell you’re called now!). Still, some of the more “specialist” AB offerings aren’t actually that bad – I remember trying a couple last time I was in StL, and they were, y’know, fine.

I had a Long Strange Trippel earlier
having some pino with my tuna for dinner and am having a 6th Glass for desert. ’Tis a drinking day!
That Goose Island IPA
is a party staple at my house. I nearly always have at least a 6 pack of that around. Fantastic stuff.
Have you ever had the 60 Minute IPA by DogFishHead in New Jersey? Overwhelming flavor, but it doesn’t taste horrible like some of these superhopped brews do.
Can Colby round out our new MV3?
I've not tried that one
I think I may have seen some in my last visit to the states, as the name rings a bell. I’ll keep an eye out for it in the beer import shop here. Like I said, I like a lot of hops, so it sounds right up my street.
It’s weird I like that Goose Island IPA so much – it’s not really my sort of thing usually, but I just think they’ve got the balance of flavours perfect, and it’s a great beer in that you can drink 4 or 5 and the last still tastes as refreshing as the first. I usually find beers with bigger flavours can be a bit much after one or two but the Goose Island is a great one for a session.

Yeah, I've had that once
and I really liked it. I find the american take on the style sometimes a bit over-rich and too sweet (like I said, I like the coffee & booze to the max and a bit less chocolate) but I recall that one being really good. The only times I’ve seen it here it’s been prohibitively expensive (like, 20 bucks a bottle expensive).
The Samuel Smith’s imperial stout (brewed about half an hour from my flat) is really good – it’s not as boozy as some but it’s very subtle and delicious I think, “well-balanced”, I suppose.

They do a nice christmas ale too. The Imperial Stout probably wouldn’t please all the IS drinkers who like the huge alcohol-content, bracingly strong American versions, but I think it works really, really well in its own style. It’s one of my favourites, for sure.

Is there really any food in London/England...
that competes with food in the USA? If so, please tell me because pub food is getting old and the Nando’s and Byron Proper Burgers combination isn’t working anymore.
yes
partly depends if you want to cook, however. The access to fresh and wide-ranging produce in the UK is way, way better than it is in the US in my limited experience, especially in the supermarkets and stores like Walmart, which I seem to remember going into on one visit (in new england, no less, not the deep south or anything) visiting and getting a look that seemed to combine confusion and annoyance when I asked a shop assistant in the food section where the fruit and vegetables were (turned out, in an ENORMOUS store, there weren’t any, except some boxes of watermelon by the cashier).
I live in the north so restaurant recommendations in london aren’t really my thing, but I would recommend you find a few good, authentic (or even not-so-authentic “British style”) Indian/Pakistani/Bangaladeshi/other Indian sub-continent restaurants in the capital. Brick Lane is the most well-known asian area but you’d be well advised to ask for recommendations or check out tripadvisor if you’re not a local (has fantastic food listings).
There’s a ton of michelin-starred restaurants in london if you’re prepared to pay that sort of price.
In general, you’ll find everything is about 25% more expensive in London than it is in much of the UK, and food will be more expensive than the US due to the exchange rate. Like I said, I’m probably not the guy for London restaurant reviews, but if you actually do some research rather than just walking into a random pub (some do very good food, most is mediocre) or a chain restaurant (although if you like burgers, I can recommend the gourmet burger kitchen chain – australian, I think, but pretty darn good IMO) you’ll find a range of dishes that’s pretty much unrivalled anywhere outside of NY, due to the cultural and national diversity and sheer size of the city.
Like anywhere else, some level of familiarity is the key. If you walk into an unknown place in London, NY or St Louis, chances are, it won’t be the best place nearby. You need to check out some reviews or get somebody local to show you the best places.

Well I cooked it.
I boiled water and put in the hard noodles. That’s what I meant. I guess I really meant the sauce. I wrote one thing and then realized that I should tell people that I didn’t just cook pasta out of a box and then pour sauce from a can on top of it. Because I didn’t think people would actually think that a college student made her own pasta from scratch. I guess I should have been more clear.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
When you say "sauce and all" I assume you made the sauce from scratch, or at least threw ingredients together
instead of using a canned or jarred sauce? I tend to think that tastes better, even if you start with a canned tomato sauce base and add fresh stuff to that.
Did you make the noodles yourself?I would be very impressed with that.
And since my new mode is to contribute to topics late enough that nobody will notice (doing the stay-at-home dad thing full time now, I actually do less VEB than I did at work) here’s what I had last night:

It's not so much a qualitative issue
as it is an issue of what type of pasta you’re looking for. Fresh pasta is a very, very different product from dried, and the two are not really interchangeable in the way you use them.
In the case of stuffed pasta especially, the making of fresh is worth it. Most unstuffed shapes, though, are really more trouble than it is ultimately worth.
Just my two cents, of course.

I'm not really a filled pasta fan
I am yet to really see the point.
I do think there’s definitely a difference between going to a really good family-run trattoria in Rome and what you can do at home, though, and I’ve always partly suspected the freshness of the pasta (and probably to some extent the quality of the other ingredients available) is a big part of that. I also wonder if most home-cooked pasta recipes aren’t a little over-complicated, flavour-wise; the best pasta dishes I’ve made (rissottos too, actually) tend to only have a couple of ingredients. Unfortunately I’m a very “busy” chef so if I’m making up my own sauces I suspect I put one or two too many flavours in there…

THIS.
I am not really an action/superhero movie type but these movies are awesome.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
yeah
it’s a shame there possibly won’t be a third one (I think?). I suspect the problem they’d soon start to have (without recycling the joker, which I think would still have some legs for another movie, but probably not for two), is that it’s difficult to do a “hard-edged” batman with most of the other villains. They’ve purposely chosen ones who are just-about plausible and don’t run too far into the campy side of batman lore. It’d be kinda hard to keep that aesthetic and sort of writing going if they decided to use the Penguin or Riddler or something as the main villain. Also, they’ve deliberately steered away from having any “super powers” or totally unrealistic science in the new batman franchise, which I think would sort of rule out a fair few of the rogues’ gallery (Killer Croc, Clayface, Mr Freeze, etc etc).
Catwoman (who’s been kinda played to death and could run the risk of being a bit campy and frivolous if not executed well), Bane (who I think would work well in the new films) and maybe Harley Quinn are about the only ones I think they could use. I think it’s becoming a thinner and thinner tightrope to walk, and I’m not convinced #3 would be any good, especially without Ledger. I actually thought the second one was a little over-long and had a lot of pretty shoddy elements (horrible fight-scene camerawork, which I absolutely HATE in films), although overall it was really good and enjoyable.

I've read that 50-52 degrees...
is ideal for running in terms of performance. Obviously, personal preference varies. 90+ is insane.

This.
I used to run outside in the winter fairly regularly, but living in springfield, the sidewalks are usually too dangerous. Been treadmilling it up this winter- I’ve heard bad things about running too much on a treadmill, so I’ll be able to test them out this spring.

I suspect it's better than running on concrete/sidewalks, though?
you’re basically condemning yourself to arthiritis in old age by doing a lot of road-running. I’d have to imagine that treadmills are slightly lower-impact.
I wonder if you could end up with knee issues, though, as the running style on a treadmill (well, at least mine!) feels slightly different.

I have noticed that my joints feel MUCH better.
Ten miles on a treadmill gives me no trouble, while road running I have had problems with stress reactions and a lot more general joint pain. Also, the treadmill makes it a lot more convenient to run and lift in the same session.
I’m just a bit scared about my stride and coordination.
"Of course Kolby Rasmus was going deep! That’s what Kolby Rasmus does! You don’t give Kolby Rasmus second chances!" -Kolby Rasmus
I have a much harder time keeping my form on a treadmill
Part of it is I get distracted more easily but I also don’t care for the feel of it. I don’t feel like I’m propelling myself forward so much as just elevating myself. It’s a personal preference thing though.
Think; It's not illegal yet.
I don't know how to run on a treadmil
I just put my feet up and down like an idiot and get really tired.
I like running when it is hot, hot, hot
I just can’t do the severely cold outside running. I prefer to run when it is 40+ outside, but I think this winter has gotten me so down, as soon as it hits 25-30 I am gonna give it a go.

I started cycling last year too
it’s fun but I didn’t build up the stamina I was hoping. I think my long ride was just 35mi last year. Hoping to break 50mi this summer.

cycling doesn't do much for you compared to running

That's very true.
I used to cycle a lot and when I started running more it was obvious where the untrained groups were.
"Of course Kolby Rasmus was going deep! That’s what Kolby Rasmus does! You don’t give Kolby Rasmus second chances!" -Kolby Rasmus
I really don't think you could ride 50 miles if you can't run a mile
cycling (mile for mile) is a lot easier – I’d say (at the pace I go) about 1 mile of running = 5/6 miles of cycling, something like that. But 50 miles is a LONG way, and very hard. It’s amazing how much doing a distance (running or cycling) above what you’re used to really puts your body through stresses it’s totally not used to.
I can run 10k easy but I think I’d really struggle to do a half-marathon at any sort of respectable time without significant training.

You should raise one yourself...
it’s really easy. Get one that isn’t over-bred and you can feed it anything – table scraps, compost, anything. I lived in a jungle once and my neighbor had a pig. He didn’t feed it anything except bananas because that’s all there was. The pig would get them by the stalk and he’d eat them up skin and all. The creature grew very slowly, but after about 18 months he was ready for butchering. One morning I woke up at about 5am to the most horrendous squealing, screaming noise you’ve ever heard. I thought someone was being murdered. I ran outside and the guy had the pig strung up by it’s heels from the rafters of his porch. He had sliced the artery in its neck and was letting its beating heart pump all the blood out of its body. Needless to say at this point I went back to bed. About an hour later I woke up to a hissing sound and the most horrific smell I ever smelt. I went back outside and this time the guy had an acetylene torch and was torching the pig’s skin til it bubbled. This did double duty: it made the beast easier to skin, and it cooked the subcutaneous fat, which was then carved off in chunks and sold to passing motorists. After the skinning and gutting, they got out a huge pot. The pot was put on a big pile of charcoal and set ablaze. The carcass was lowered into the pot, but it didn’t fit too well, so my neighbor got a stepstool and an axe and proceded to smash the pig into bits. I mean, every bit of that pig was reduced to pieces no bigger than a baseball. He then boiled it – head, tail, bones, hooves, everything – in it’s own lard for the rest of the day. By nightfall, it was ready to be eaten. His extended family came over and the kids got to help themselves first. There was no waiting in line. I have never seen such a display of carnivory in all my days. They were like a pack of dingos on a kangaroo carcass. They pretty much polished of the pig that night, but it produced an unholy amount of fat. They stored it in old coffee cans and let it congeal like butter. In the morning they’d spread on their toast whenever they had bread to eat.
Animal husbandry can be a very rewarding activity.

Exactly, she is the head of state and her husband is not.
She is married a “consort” or something like that, correct? Can kings have a female consort to whom they are married that isn’t actually a queen?
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
I dunno
I’m a republican myself (in the monarchic, not conservative, sense), so I don’t pay a great deal of attention. I’m pretty sure anyone who marries the king is officially a queen, but has no succession to the throne and loses the “queen” status when the king dies.
Incidentally, the last king we had, who is the father of the current one, had a wife (queen) who became known as the “queen mother” when he snuffed it and the current queen (her daughter) took over. Not sure if that’s a historical precedent or they’ve always been referred to in that way. I also suspect that lots of previous “wives of the king” have been nobility from other countries and so will have kept their original titles (e.g. Catherine of Aragon).
In any case, IMO they’re all parasitic wasterels and the french had the right idea…

refuses to move to 12:05 to accommodate Leno. His statement is one of the classiest middle fingers I’ve ever seen. True, the Tonight show is nowhere near as good as Late Night was, and it’s a fact that the best late night comedy can be found in the 1-2 punch of Stewart and Colbert (esp. Colbert), but Conan is still 1,000x better than Jay. In fact, I could probably divide the world into people I like and those I don’t like just based on their late night preference. Whaddya wanna bet most of these sanctimonious, self-serving hacks crucifying McGwire are Leno fans?

That would be kind of cool.
But as soon as he has Joss Whedon on as a guest the show will get canceled out of pure spite. Fox does cruel things like that.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
They have no local news lead-in with most of their markets
They don’t have a 10 PM EST time slot for programming, which means their late show would start an hour earlier, while people are still watching the other networks, or it would have a shitty lead-in show from a local affiliate — like Seinfeld or King of Queens re-runs.
Fox would essentially be doing to Conan what NBC did to Leno — put him up against prime time programming, and give him shitty lead-ins 4 nights a week.

He's great, I love him,
but he’d bomb on The Tonight Show, because his humor is going to be off-putting to a lot of older viewers, and the Tonight Show is built on those viewers. That’s part of the reason why Conan is failing — people have to think to much about his comedy bits because he’s not leading you to the punchline every time, sometimes you have to get there yourself. Ferguson is a lot like that.
Case in point, my dad loves Leno (he’s 57), my brothers and I all would rather watch Letterman, Conan, or Ferguson. You can’t win in the ratings without my dad’s age group in the late night bracket. Letterman is getting those viewers now because Conan can’t get those viewers.

Yeah....
I thought the same thing when I first learned Conan was moving to The Tonight Show. I wanted it to be good because I like Conan and all, but I just didn’t see it working long term.

In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"

In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"

That’s a hell of a place to play, and Florida does have a ton of talent and a half decent coach.

In his defense,
he didn’t know he was going to have to recruit against the biggest cheater of all time, who would be in charge of the best basketball program in the SEC.
I think if he had known that Calipari would be at Kentucky starting in 2009, he probably bolts to the league. That said, there isn’t a college coach that I would hire right now to coach a pro team, basketball or football. The games are too different.

He left them with like 2 weeks until national signing day, so their recruiting class is probably going to shambles. He didn’t inherit a great team, and now that bad-to-mediocre team will be on its third offensive and defensive scheme in three years. They’ll also have a hard time finding a really good coach this late in the game. He pretty much extended a giant middle finger to my birth state.

one of the people who's been somewhat distorted by popular history, I think
in terms of 20s and 30s chicago bad-boys, Capone was the press darling but he was a pussycat and fairly non-violent compared to a lot of other mobsters (and also not particularly the “muscle man” in his crew at any point). He was outright terrified of Bugs Moran, I think.

Also Victoria Beckham was pretty much one of the most boring guest judges ever but she did deliver this gem about one annoying not very good contestant: “Hideously arrogant. More arrogant than Simon.” It was hilarious to hear that come out of her mouth.

He has said he doesn’t like a specific style but that they can sing before. Styles are subjective, being on key and basic singing talent are not that subjective.

I realize AI is meant to be trivial, popular crap
but it’s popularity has meant that true singer songwriters have an even harder of a time making of a living now (not that it was easier before).
If Sam Beard from Iron & Wine sang “The Trapeze Swinger” on AI, he’d never have a chance, yet it’s the most beautiful, haunting song I’ve heard in thirty years.
American Idol and record producers of it’s ilk highlights gloss, and shadows talent.
I hate that I pay for its success by paying to have access to the show in (almost) the same way that I pay for Pat Robertson to spread his stupidity by having to pay for his channel to have cable.

I think a lot of people view it as the true talent tester, some kind of competition based weigh of seeing who is “the Best” when it’s totally subjective, and nowadays you have the ability to use the internet and self promote to get yourself out there, if you are good and interesting people will likely pick up on it unless you are too obscure and weird

I wanted to use an Iron & Wine song for our first dance
and “Beneath The Balcony” nearly made it before the wife realized it dropped an f-bomb, so I asked her for “Trapeze Singer” and she said “save it my funeral.”
We ended up with Ryan Adam’s “la cienega smiled” in case you were wondering.
my favorite iron and wine song is upward over the mountain.

The irony of American Idol is that it's pure entertainment for its own sake
not for the sake of actually finding a star. That has happened a couple times, sometimes by accident such as that one girl who became an actress. The winners of the competition have a pretty crappy track record so far.
The show is watched as a show, that’s all. Most viewers couldn’t care less about the musical industry stuff or the record sales. It’s just a competition and a spectacle like Survivor. It culminates when they pick a winner, and then next year is a clean slate. Kind of like baseball, actually.

I've never been there but...
When I go to a park that I haven’t been to before I like to pick seats about mid-level, maybe higher, behind home plate(ish). Often times, particularly in the newer ball-parks, those seats have a nice external view (Pac Bell [or whatever it’s called now], PNC [If there is such a thing as a good view in Pittsburgh], our Busch III, even Wrigley has a nice view of the lake from up there, and Chavez Ravine at half bad its own personal self).
Might want to check that out, if you’re into that sort of thing.
I’m guessing Coors Field has one of those nice external views since Shanny has that view from the press box and normally raves about the place.

Aren't they among the most expensive seats at the park, though?
I usually go behind home plate and near the top somewhere. Top deck always seems pretty cheap and you can get a pretty good feel for the game up there. I only went in the bleachers once (in Japan), with a non-baseball fan, and it sucked (couldn’t really make out much of what was happening).
My one bad-ish experience of the top deck, behind home plate idea was in Yankee stadium last year, when I ended up in literally the top row of seats in the stadium. I don’t think I have ever been so high whilst viewing a sports event…

Yes, but toned down a bit.
The bizarre thing is that NBC knew what they were getting with Conan. It’s not like he’s an unknown. I just don’t know what the f*ck NBC was thinking. Why force Jay out when you’re winning the time slot? Why promise Conan a show 6 years in advance? If you don’t like him as much as Jay, then why worry about losing his talent? It’s stupid.
I just hope Conan lands somewhere. Conan has been entertaining me over half my life, which is scary when I stop and think about it.
Now with extra feisty!
i agree
nbc should have just stuck with the original set up. they were worried about losing conan to another tv station before jay wanted to retire, so they forced jay to retire before he was ready to keep conan on the network.

Not really.
Fox has never really been successful with late-night TV. NBC had been winning that game for years and was already Conan’s employer. Plus, the Tonight Show is an institution. I think most people would’ve done the exact same thing.

he'd also be going up against the 10&11pm news
and he thought no one would watch him instead of their local news.
i don’t know, if i was him i would have stayed at 12:35, that’s what made him. i never thought he’d do well at 11:35 because it’s an older audience & they do like blander humor. his best humor isn’t bland.

Every morning I wake up & smoke a dart. Then I eat five strips of bacon, & for lunch I eat a bacon sandwich. And for a midday snack? Bacon! A whole damn plate! And I usually drink my dinner. And I'm still here! Sometimes I wonder if God forgot about me.
good freaking choice

Taxi Driver is probably the "best" IMO
and probably my favourite too.
Goodfellas was great too. Mean Streets is a really under-rated one of his, me likey.
RELEASE THE CENTIQUID!!!!
by Felonius_Monk on Jan 16, 2010 7:31 AM EST up reply actions
I just watched Mean Streets, which is what prompted me to ask you guys.
I liked it, but I wasn’t in love with it. The acting is great, but I felt the story was thin. Of course, it was the 70s and one of Scorcese’s earlier films. The barebones for Goodfellas was definitely there.
Now with extra feisty!
It hasn't been released, therefore, nor have I seen it
But I’m taking preemptive action to avoid band-wagoneering
SHUTTER ISLAND IS THE BEST SCORSESE MOVIE EVER!!!!
I reserve the right to go back on that after viewing.

ok, favorite Dylan song.
almost impossible for me to choose, but I’ll go with Visions of Johanna, Royal Albert Hall version
Ditto on Tangled Up in Blue
with Shelter from the Storm, Hurricane and that song about Woody Guthrie, the name of which I’ve forgotten, following close behind.

Whoa, double response
I mean, there are plenty of other Dylan songs I love. But I have weird favorite songs by certain artists. Just Like A Woman is another favorite. Can I consider all of Nashville Skyline basically one song?

If the Colts lose
Bill Polian will officially drop from the most popular GM to probably one of the most unpopular (well not that far, but he will drop a few points)
In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"

Just saw Avatar last night.
What a waste of 11.50. It reminded me of the phantom menace in its obsessive attempt to fit more special effects into each successive frame. They story was completely recycled, the characters were mind-numbingly stereotypical (dumb marines, magical natives [even the native dancing was stereotypical, and they were ostensibly supposed to be aliens for christ’s sakes], nerdy scientists, greedy corporate goons). The “subtexts” of environmentalism and anti-imperialism were so blatantly, melodramatically, and unyieldingly force-fed to the audience that it’s really quite inaccurate to call them subtexts- they should be referred to as neon-obsessive-message-brain-fucks (and I’m definitely an anti-imperialism environmentalist). The only two scenes that made me think for one second that they might have been something I hadn’t seen a million times was the american marines getting killed by the protagonist and the two seconds of affection between the blue girl and the human guy. It was a dances with wolves with worse acting and a bigger budget that necessitated a happy ending to help it turn a profit. Also, it was not science fiction- it was fantasy. There was no science contained in the movie.

the Jet's are just riding a wave of uncanny luck
3 missed field goals by the opposition today, 2 last week — in both cases by solid kickers. They play their last two make or break games of the regular against teams that had been playoff bound for some time, and were completely indifferent to losing, essentially allowing the Jets to slide into the playoffs with a minimum of effort/execution while the other teams they were fighting with for a playoff spot had to battle it out in real competition. Screw the Jets. I hope Indy destroys them.
This is hilarious
