PrintIt's Friday. Blazers v. Hornets tonight at 5, be there or be square. These events combine to result in a near 100% likelihood that Joe will be very drunk this evening. Also this seems like another great opportunity to point out that Chris Paul IS Carlton Banks from an alternate universe where he put his dancing skills to use on the basketball court at a young age.
In other news, Quantum of Solace comes out today to mixed reviews. I don't have insanely high hopes but I expect I will be amused and entertained for at least 90 minutes. I will await Channing Frye's verdict with bated breath.
The auto industry bailout is up next for Congress, I believe they will decide on it next week (Monday, I think?). I've been away from the news a little bit lately, so my thoughts on this newest bailout are not yet refined. Maybe some BEdgers can provide some insight.
I flipped on network TV last night to learn that over 100 homes had burned in Santa Barbara as a result of a fire that started only a couple hours earlier. The blaze was whipped up by gusting winds topping 60 mph and destroyed an entire neighborhood. Good thoughts sent out to those unfortunate families.
Tom wrote a great song about poop in the last JD, I would love to hear something off his next LP.

I usually celebrate w/ water and a phone call to the babysitter saying i will b there in 30
and if we lose, i literally down the drink and begin wallowing in self pity and resentment and anger and bitterness. Then I TEXT my babysitter and say “have him ready” .

Anyone else see The Office last night?
I’ve been frustrated with this new season. There have been some really funny bits, and I find myself enjoying the episodes. Yet, the show manages to always get so sappy and dramatic around the edges that I turn the TV off with a bad taste in my mouth at the end. I want to see silly, pointless office pranks! I want to see really awkward hilarious situations! I DON’T want to see realistic romantic relationship problems.

I stopped watching the US Office after about 2 episodes
because it was so vastly inferior to the UK version. Ricky Gervais>Steve Carrell
by DrivetheLane on Nov 14, 2008 10:48 AM PST up reply actions
Likewise.
I didn’t see many episodes of the UK version, but those were much better.
Are there any US knockoff’s that have actually been better than the Brits? Are there any shows on TV that aren’t knockoffs of either the Brits or Japanese TV? Have we completely given up?
I submit that Baywatch was the last uniquely American TV program.
The cowards never started

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Great show, no question uniquely American.
The characters on this show are literally the worst people in the entire world.
"I like blocks," Fernandez said.
I think Mad Men and Lost are both uniquely American.
They’re also the best shows currently on TV. As for British knock offs—I’ve found Life on Mars to be fairly entertaining aside from the main actor (Harvey Keitel and Christopher from The Sopranos carry that show), but I don’t know how good the Brit version is.

Dexter?
Cool, unique show idea. Although it was adapted from a novel….but an American one, I believe.
"I like blocks," Fernandez said.
simpsons, king of the hill, family guy, south park...
…albeit all are starting to bore the spit out of me; all teach people overseas the unique feeling of being american.
I think South Park
is still pretty fresh. This new season has had some really good episodes, especially the one where Cartman gets the crap beat out of him. This last High School Musical episode was pretty good too.
by DrivetheLane on Nov 14, 2008 11:04 AM PST up reply actions
The Simpsons will never bore me
OK, I’m biased….my cousin is a director for the show….but still, I absolutely love that the show can still come up with hilarious social commentary after nearly 20 years of doing so.
Agreed
Matt Groening fan for sure, I liked the movie a lot, just not excited about it right now. The Halloween episodes are always great.
I tend to like Futurama better just because the characters haven’t gotten old to me yet, and they focus less on social commentary, more on sci-fi spoofing, but there is always a shred of current events running in Futurama too.

i also like and elect heroes, sponge bob, diners, drive-ins and dives, a bunch more
comic nerddom + greek tragedy = a show more addictive than crack for some reason.
luckily the writers strike stopped the 2nd season, which left something to be desired in it’s inception anyway
sponge bob is an excellent show, speakng of baywatch, hasslehoff had a big role in the sponge bob movie.
guy ferrari is pretty dang american too.
the problem isn’t that there are not enough american shows, the problem is there are too many.
I found Heroes
to be incredibly disappointing. Watching people go back and forth through time and never accomplish anything gets pretty boring.
by DrivetheLane on Nov 14, 2008 11:26 AM PST up reply actions
did you find it underwhelming perhaps?
that is a fun word to use; i see your point but with how nice a day it is i think that i’m going back and forth through time (different posts) and also accomplishing very little, not even any nifty CGI!
well, I'd say I was
whelmed by most of the first season and then it just went downhill fast. I kept watching episodes thinking, “That’d be a great episode…..in season 4.”
by DrivetheLane on Nov 14, 2008 11:35 AM PST up reply actions
The first season sucked
The USA Office became good in it’s 2nd season.
I think the UK version of the Office is one of the greatest things ever to be a thing ever in the history of time.

British vs. American Office
I’m a fan of the British version, and hated the first few episodes of the American version..they did a bad job re-hashing the plots of the UK show.
Once they got their feet under them, the American version got REALLY good..and is now superior in my opinion to the British one.
The thing that bothered me about the British one was that it seemed unnecessarily cruel in its humor (humour for you Brits)..but that’s the British sense of humour for you.

Not enough Dwight in this last episode
but I still like the show.
And I think that the US version is better, Gervais made a more realistic boss but Carrell is pretty good and the rest of the american cast is better in my opinion.
Michael and Holly
Holly is HILARIOUS. She was the new HR lady, and Michael’s girlfriend. I wish they’d bring her back. I likey her!

It's still on the DVR
waiting for the wife to get home from India and the time to watch it so please don’t everybody spoil it. But… on the US v. UK versions:
I’ve watched the UK version at least twice in it’s entirety. It’s IS the funniest TV ever. I resisted watching the US version for years because I KNEW it couldn’t compare. But finally I relented and discovered as many have that after they got their bearings and started using their own creativity it’s tought to argue that it’s any worse than the UK one. It’s always good for several laugh out loud moments. It’s one of two shows I record. It’s hard to imagine they can keep it up much longer though.
Give it a try.
Besides, I think I read somewhere that it’s LMA’s favorite show, so there you go.

It IS the funniest TV ever
.
It is really good, but Arrested will always be the funniest, most intelligent, most clever, best-written, and most underappreciated TV show of all time.
"I like blocks," Fernandez said.
I would agree with that,
except I find it very difficult to differentiate between AD and UK Office as to which I like better. But both are better than any comedy on TV right now.

I caught the newest Sarah Silverman Program. I laugh my butt off. I never miss an episode. It’s the best show on TV.

I'm taking the GREs in 2 hours.
Yay. I’m trying to figure out how to stay calm and keep a cool head until then so I’m fresh for the 3 hour burner.
Yikes, that was brutal.
Don’t know if whiskey would have helped much. Who else has taken the GRE? Good times, I tell ya. Even though I scored pretty well it felt like I was getting every other question wrong.
Drunk
These events combine to result in a near 100% likelihood that Joe will be very drunk this evening.
Not this Joe..sadly. I might be a little sloppy though.

A warning for some of the younger B-Edger's
If the parents say, “Hey, hop in the car. Let’s take a drive over to Nebraska. Bring extra socks and stuff.”
http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/11/14/nebraska.safe.haven/index.html
Yep, abandon your child in Nebraska. Up to 19 years old. Doesn’t say if any hospitals have added 24 hour drive-thru abandonment express lines for convenience.

yowzers that is messed up….but then again…..i wonder what the kids would be suffering through with parents who didn’t want them but were forced to keep them
I've got a plan......we lob up a bad shot that Dwight can block, but we do it in such a way that it hits either Rashard or Hedo in the head knocking them out for the game.

Ugh, I'm back. The last few hours my house/neighborhood had an Internet and cable outage
I was fearing the worst — missing all games of the weekend + not getting any actual work done ;-)
At least my old analog phone was still working so I could make pressure with my cable company. I’m so relieved and happy right now.

Nate needs to effectively communicate with his players
By learning french for raef and nic, and spanish for rudy and sergio. I’m convinced that Ha Seung Jin and Khyrappa would have been solid players had our coach learned to speak in their native tongue. Anyone remember the old Nellie commercial when he was the Mavs coach and he spoke like everyones language?
