Just Imagine Jimmie Shirtless
ABOVE: Olympic Athlete and Baseball Expert Jimmie Bice, Jr.
Shorter (But Not Thinner) Jimmie1 Bice, Jr., The Sundries Shack
The Stories of His Athleticism Appear Grossly Exaggerated
- Obama is a bad president because he is a bad athlete. Athleticism is something that I feel very strongly is an important indicator of good character, competence and manliness. Myself, I demonstrate my devotion to manly athletic pursuits by watching Bowflex infomercials on late night teevee.
Another Shorter (But Still Not Any Thinner) Jimmie Bice, Jr., The Chocolate Sundae Shack
President Obama’s Favorite Baseball Player Is…Well, Bring A Lunch. This May Take a While
- When a sports reporter asked Obama who was his favorite Chicago White Sox player when he was a kid, it was not acceptable for Obama to say that he wasn’t a White Sox fan when he was a kid living in Hawaii.2 This just proves that Obama is a poseur and that, like everyone born in Kenya, he knows more about cricket than baseball.
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™
1 A guy that accuses Obama of pitching like a girl shouldn’t spell his name like a girl. What do you want to be that he dots the “i” in Jimmie with a smiley face?
2 It is important that Obama, as our President, be knowledgeable about baseball because he recently proposed that we throw away all of our nuclear weapons and settle international disputes by playing games of baseball trivia.
Thank you, no.
I look forward to Jimmie’s impending fatal heart attack after gorging himself to insensibility on cake and Funyuns.
Y’know, come to think of it… when is Hawaii going to get a baseball team? We’ve got a President from there, after all, I think some state could spare one.
Jimmie Shirtless was a promising outfielder from Cowlick, Iowa, but sadly his career was cut short when his ACL was torn out by a pack of fuching ferrets.
Jimmies.
Now, lemme see…Bill Clinton was the first President to actually make a pitch to the plate from the rubber (VPR).
But I bet Jimmay thinks he was a bad President.
Obama didn’t bounce the ball, he threw chin music like a good tough pitcher is supposed to do when the other side is digging in on him.
But this makes Obama somehow a weak President?
What?
For this you’re asking us to leave the beej thread?
The Stories of His Athleticism Appear Grossly Exaggerated
Cuz, you know, basketball is played by Negroes and so doesn’t count as an actual sport. But golf is played by white guys including half white Tiger Woods, so totally counts as athleticism.
Fuck you, Tintin French Fag or Both, for making me imagine such a thing. My therapist will bill you directly.
For this you’re asking us to leave the beej thread?
Yeah, I think I’d rather talk about genital warts than this dude shirtless.
In my new blog post I discuss how President George W Bush was a bad president because he didn’t clear nearly enough brush off his ranch. Had he cleared enough of it, Iraqi insurgence would have come to a screeching halt, Afghan warlords would all stop the production of opiates, build schools and fix their corrupt gov’t and all the TBTF banks would have quietly filed bankruptcy and we’d be moving towards another economic boom.
. Myself, I demonstrate my devotion to manly athletic pursuits by watching Bowflex infomercials on late night teevee.
“…while testing my might by seeing how many Ding Dongs * I can fit in my mouth/gullet without passing out.”
*wrong thread?
…like everyone born in Kenya, he knows more about cricket than baseball.
What? You’re saying that there was time enough off from terrorist school, nazi policy classes with the ghost of Hitler, fascism seminar with the ghosts of Mussolini and FDR, orientation with the khmer rouge, and ultimate evil training with Satan to learn about cricket? Doesn’t seem likely.
And of course, had Obama somehow thrown a smokin’ hot fastball right across the plate, these same nitwits would be crowing that he was spending too much time on exercise or sports and not enough time figuring out how to kill furriners and queers.
You’re saying that there was time enough […]to learn about cricket?
They’re rather small creatures.

Well then.
In my new blog post I discuss how President George W Bush was a bad president
If you work in that chimpo was a Deep Cover Liberal you’ll get the admiration of all the teabaggers.
thrown a smokin’ hot fastball right across the plate,
Veiled…well, I dunno. Just sounds kinda dirty.
Obama beat Clark Kellogg (former All-American basketball player) in a game of POTUS – that’s HORSE played by the president, apparently.
Now, it looked to me like Kellogg tanked a little to keep it close, but the president did make his shots. He has game. The game just isn’t baseball.
Just imagine me plunging sporks into my eyes.
Obama beat Clark Kellogg (former All-American basketball player) in a game of POTUS – that’s HORSE played by the president, apparently.
It also seemed that Obama can only harness his whiteness on the basketball court. Not that I’m being racist, it needed to be said.
I, one of the whitest people alive, could “school” Obama juan-on-juan. Ok, that last part was a lil racist.
He’s a thread killer today.
Obama can’t throw a curve ball, EVEN THOUGH THE CONSTUSHON SAYS HE HAS TOO!
everything that happens in this country will be bad until we get a president with more creamy caramel goodness in the center
Some people prefer the BJ thread over the fat man thread. Solution?
Combine the two.

Wait a second here.
If Obama is a lousy President because he didn’t exactly do his best Bob Gibson impression, what does that make George “So Not Athletic He Was A Cheerleader” Bush?
Other than a questionably heterosexual.*
(* That’s an insult to gay people—not because being a cheerleader is gay [and that’s somehow “bad”], but because I compared Bush to a gay person. For that, my sincere apologies. I’ll never do it again.)
Jimmie is just so cute how she describes her blog:
So she’s all about the sparkle ponies of the Invisible Handjobs…
Let’s watch the POTUS run up and down the court a few times with this cheesesteak trying to keep up. I’d buy that for a dollar.

You people just canNOT stop talking about the BJs, can you?
Fat jokes, huh? You’re asking for another visit from the blogosphere’s own PC Brigade.

He’d never do that. See, he’s a singer, a Bass II as he puts it. He’d ruin his voice.

And sprinkles!
By the way, that asshole is totally on your team. Don’t associate him with us lady-parted Americans, please.
Let ‘em roll in.
Sheesh. Making fun of the way the bipedally-challenged move around. It’s gonna be clobberin’ time around here awfully dang quick.

Aw, maaan. Do we have to take him?

No issue with fatasses, until they start critiquing the athletic skills of someone who appears to be in reasonably good physical condition.
I wonder if Jimmie Shitface could get one across the plate (without the assistance of an oxygen mask).
And no, tigris, we’ll never stop talking about the BJs.
Obama can’t throw a curve ball, EVEN THOUGH THE CONSTUSHON SAYS HE HAS TOO!
The last presidential curveball led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands… do not want.
P.S. Looch, I’m going to be a co-worker. WOOT!
Aw, maaan. Do we have to take him?
Actually, I don’t care what you do with him, as long as you keep him away from us.
Hol’ up, he’s claiming Obama’s not all that athletic, and his first anecdata point relates to BOWLING?
And a picture of one of the “blocks” that actually showed the President fouling the living daylights out of Love doesn’t mean he’s not athletic, nor would losing a game of HORSE. Maybe if there were only pictures of Obama looking like a fat-ass moron who’d need a fucking crowbar and a winch to get up.
I wonder if Jimmie Shitface could get one across the plate (without the assistance of an oxygen mask).
I imagine he could get a couple of dozen across the plate… we are talking about donuts, no?
We could always bounce them.
Get some of those mechanical-advantage suits the military guys developed for a few billion, and use the fat repig bloggers (are there any other kind?) for a new type of Obama one-on-one.
However, I will have to fess up. I just read on a teabagger blog as the NEXT secret plot by the Kenyan Marxist to enslave heartlanders. (sigh) I never get ideas fast enough.
does this mean he makes sense now?
He doesn’t have naturally minty breath either.
B^4: Lucky, lucky you.
The picture confuses me. Is this the walrus thread?

Box o’ donuts, taped to the back of a very slow-moving bus headed to the other side of town should work, no?
Fat jokes, huh? You’re asking for another visit from the blogosphere’s own PC Brigade.
I’m sorry if I hurt anyone’s feelings. Except his, which I don’t give a crap about.
Because bowling is the surest method of measuring one’s athletic prowess.
I imagine he could get a couple of dozen across the plate… we are talking about donuts, no?
Plate, not palate.
I would advise you be far away if you’re observing this behavior, as there is a danger of getting an arm caught in that filthy pit under his nose.
“In my new blog post I discuss how President George W Bush was a bad president because he didn’t clear nearly enough brush off his ranch. ”

Speaking of air breathing land slugs, PENIS
I seem to remember a certain mountain bike incident that didn’t go half as well as that pitch…

Also, Jimmie could call him out on his amateurish pretzel eating skills.

I think the bus would have to be hauled by a three-legged mule in order to be slow enough.

We could chuck a donut out every 50 yards or so. Leave a trail. Good for lulz when one gets squished before he can get to it.
Imagine Jimmie shirtless? That’s certainly a lot to imagine.
Maybe it’ll help if I do it in stages. First, I’ll imaging Jimmie in a crop-top.
Nope. That didn’t help.
I grew up in Hawaii. I like baseball. My favorite team growing up was the Yankees, but if you asked me to name my “favorite” Yankee of the late 70s/early 80s, I’d draw a blank too. Shoot, I can barely remember who plays infield for my local MLB team today. Some of us just aren’t “that guy” who can remember what Frank Chance’s batting average was in 1907, you know?
What a bitch this Jimmie chick is!
I might say he bears a superficial resemblance to Joey Defrancesco, but I would never insult todays foremost jazz organist like that.
Besides, Mr. Defrancesco will be appearing at Seattle’s Jazz Alley in May, and what if he picks me out in the audience?
Besides, I bet that Jimmie Shirtless can’t play worth a damn, whereas Joey burns at both ends and all through his ample middle!
First, I’ll imaging Jimmie in a crop-top.
Uuuuuuuuuugh, that’s *worse*!
Pretty soon this will turn into a literal dick-measuring contest.
wild guess:Obama wins that over the war-bloggers
I seem to remember a certain mountain bike incident that didn’t go half as well as that pitch…
Shit, the dude couldn’t even ride a friggin’ Segway without falling off.
…he bears a superficial resemblance to Joey Defrancesco…
Ooh, saw him at the Triple Door a few years ago. Dude could play an organ (veiled BJ reference) like nobody’s business.
it is true – if you have a “Y” chromosome then your name ends in Y – not “i” , not ‘ie’ , etc.,.
Jimmy is a boy.
Bobbie is a girl.
Like that. [/snark]
Tony [M]
That’s really cruel of you to comment about Joey and supply a link.
^not
but i don’t know how to spell my dick!
Truculant–
Right on, sistah. We called them “jimmies” in Baltimore. Fuck that “sprinkles” shit.
All the mean people are criticizing the Catholic Church for spending the last few decades protecting & facilitating child rapists not because they’re so het up against child rape, but because they’re made about the homo marriage stuff:
Imagine Jimmy Shirtless
It’s easy if you try
He can’t see his penis
He’s eating cakes and pies
Imagine major man-tits
As they roll and sway
Ooo-ooo-ooooo–ooo
You may say that he’s a porker
But he’s not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join him
For Twinkies, fries, and hot dog buns.
are part of an anti-Catholic
???why do you hate
americapedophilia???“The pope defends life and the family, based on marriage between a man and a woman, in a world in which powerful lobbies would like to impose a completely different” agenda, Spanish Cardinal Julian Herranz, head of the disciplinary commission for Holy See officials,
And he also tacitly defends life and the rape of deaf boys in a world in which powerful lobbies would like to impose a rape-free childhood on kids.
First, I’ll imaging Jimmie in a crop-top.
Uuuuuuuuuugh, that’s *worse*!
Wrestling singlet! booyah.
Shorter Vatican: Your sex life is our business. Our sex lives are none of your business.
And he also tacitly defends life and the rape of deaf boys in a world in which powerful lobbies would like to impose a rape-free childhood on kids.
That’s not very fair. He also supports the rape of girls and their deathby childbirth.
And the orphanhood of children lest they be adopted by the forces of Big Gay.
The first person that says “thong” is dead, you hear me?! DEAD!
Wrestling singlet! booyah.
Tassel pasties.
I miss PeeJ.
…accusations that he helped cover up the actions of pedophile priests are part of an anti-Catholic “hate” campaign targeting the pope for his opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage.
Totally true, man. All the anti-Catholic haterz just against the Pope because he loves the little babies soooo much (a little too much, according to some). Especially the ones inside the Church, they’re the worst.
Besides, those twelve-year-old sluts were asking for it, especially the boys.
Everyone knows there’s a secret gay time machine and the gays went back in time and forced the Pope and all those cardinals to cover up an insane number of child rapes, just so’s they could later criticize the Pope’s stance on gay marriage, duh.
The first person that says “thong” is dead, you hear me?! DEAD!
Ha–we don’t need to now. You’re already there! Thanks for taking the rest of us there with you, though. Appreciate it.
Psssst. Hey PeeJ. Take a look at this.
Uh oh — what will the Talibangelicals think if you tell them Jesus was a highly educated tenured radical child of the urban elites?
Jimmie’s Thong said,
Urrrrrhhhhh – new meaning for “whale tail.”
accusations that he helped cover up the actions of pedophile priests are part of an anti-Catholic “hate” campaign targeting the pope for his opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage.
A wise man once said, “the age-old wisdom of the Judeo-Christian tradition is vindicated: sex is for marriage, period.” So if priests want to rape kids, they need to get married and have some first, just like it says in the BIBLE.
Re; Nuclear weapons:
Hello Dr. Falken. Would you like to play a game?

Board games is just like geopolitics. Master one, and you dominate the other. Now we all need lead suits.
“Just imagine Jimmie Shirtless”
I don’t want to imagine him at all.
Brain bleach!
If Jimmie really has to be on our team, I’m definitely calling “shirts!” right now. Which has the added bonus of teh ladeez team being “skins.”
Look at the size of that thing!
By the way, is that like his mafia name? Jimmy Shirtless?
And an entire deep-fried pizza. (Meat-lovers, ‘natch.)
So you want the President to be wearing more spandex and cod-pieces?
We’ll certainly pass that along,… Jimmie
Would you also like us to suggest he ‘Jazzercise’ more often?
This is why he’s Jimmy Shirtless.
Man I threw off a major league mound when I was 13 and the plate seemed like it was a thousand miles away. I’d like to see fat ass come anywhere close to what the prez did.
Besides which, who voted for Obama to become a pitcher for the Nationals? And would they do any worse with him on the team?
I seem to remember a certain mountain bike incident that didn’t go half as well as that pitch…
Shit, the dude couldn’t even ride a friggin’ Segway without falling off.
Fuck that, the dude couldn’t eat a pretzel nugget without the Secret Service doing the Heimlich!
One more excuse for one more beer
AJ Burnett just pitched a bouncer waaaay outside. His presidential chances are now toast.
If Obama is a lousy President because he didn’t exactly do his best Bob Gibson impression, what does that make George “So Not Athletic He Was A Cheerleader” Bush?
IIRC, Bush got it over the plate, but only because he stood halfway between the mound and the plate.
Now, if Jimmie’s going to judge Preznits on physical skill, let’s talk about dancing. I seem to recall George Bush making a food of himself dancing with some African musicians.
The TeaTard plutocrat mine owning right wing fuckstick owning the West Va mine that just blew up may finally be facing a bit of trouble:
Reporting on mine explosions likely due to neglected safety regulations is theft.
Ah yes, Massey Energy. Perhaps they couldn’t afford to make the repairs improvements because their paid for state SC judge got whacked by the SCOTUS.
You kids want this dude shirtless? You couldn’t handle the whole thing. So here’s a closeup. Yeah, clickity-click. Lookity-look. Report back.

I must protest.
George W. Bush played rugby at Yale.
His special role on the team was apparently to flout what few rules there are in rugby by deliberately fouling players on the opposing team.
Remarkable foreshadowing of his approach to governance, IMHO.
“I just read on a teabagger blog as the NEXT secret plot by the Kenyan Marxist to enslave heartlanders.”
Because cow tipping, bingo halls and trailer parks are the ticket to paradise, guaranteed.

Nah, just imagine Jimmy facing up to ‘The Rawalpindi Express’, Shoaib Akhtar. He can bowl at over 100mph – and all the deliveries in this example are legal, BTW.
Baseball’s a ‘namby pamby’ non-contact sport in comparison.
😉
“Jimmie”? Jimmie Mae.
“…while testing my might by seeing how many Ding Dongs * I can fit in my mouth/gullet without passing out.””
Pleh. Talk about tasteless calories-that-aren’t-worth-it. But then, most of the snacks preferred by the wingnut brigade are tasteless or straight-up ghastly. I’m looking forward to the future Harvard Med study that will show these guys’ taste buds are as stunted as their brain stems.
Wait a minute.
So Trudy was a guy all this time?
Don’t fucking Jimmie me, okay?
By the way, is that like his mafia name? Jimmy Shirtless?
Nah, dat’s anudder guy. Dis guy? Dis guy has two names. One is “Jimmie Two-chins.” Da udder is “Jimmie Piddles”
By the way, is that like his mafia name? Jimmy Shirtless?

Yeah, Jimmie’s an udder gut.
Looks like Jimmie is in the top physical condition required to wolf down half-a-dozen Whoppers.
Theme song for this topic. And a little late for the BJ thread, but I can’t beleive nobody pointed out that there is a new “Queen of the Blow Job”.
OK. He grew up in Hawaii in the ’70s and tried to follow the A’s. Without benefit of ESPN and sports talk radio, ’cause they didn’t exist. Boxscores? Go get the paper. (I grew up in Chicago, same time frame. If the Cubs or White Sox played on the West Coast, you’d see “SOX at Oakland (n)” because the paper went to press before the game was over.) Black-and-white pictures. Even in Sports Illustrated.
What else wasn’t there? Major League Properties. Kids didn’t get a ball cap, t-shirt or pennant unless they went to the game. Nobody spring trained in Hawaii.
So why the White Sox? Besides Comiskey Park being on the South Side, a short hop from the job at U of Chicago?
Because the Sox integrated first. Black baseball fans tend to be Sox fans. Compared to Wrigley, Comiskey is affordable. Also, Comiskey is on the border between Bridgeport and Bronzeville, where most politicians of late have come from.
Jimmie Shirtless
Sounds like some low-level mob bookie who couldn’t make the vig one night when the boss laid off some action on him, throwing him a bone since his wife was being treated for the clap that one of his muscle guys gave her in a bar when she didn’t come home after Jimmie threw a shot glass at her.
Now, if Jimmie’s going to judge Preznits on physical skill, let’s talk about dancing. I seem to recall George Bush making a food of himself dancing with some African musicians.
Please don’t go with the “Obama got rivvim” thing.
Because cow tipping, bingo halls and trailer parks are the ticket to paradise, guaranteed.
How did you know precisely what the militias are offering their suicide bombers?????
‘Ya remember da time when Jimmy Shirtless found the back door to the corner Italian restaurant left open? ‘Next mornin’ the owner Nicky came in and saw this clown and called the boss, ’cause, you know, he knew him back when, and so’s when the boss sent us to go pick the SOB up, it looked like your typical drive-by hit, except if they had been shooting cold lasagna and cannolis.’
Jimmie’s a wee git who would weep big fat tears if he even had to step on a rugby field. Mind, we’d have been crying too, because normally it takes a good hour of competitive play before we start to smell as bad as he does upon rising in the morning.
Now. Can someone here please direct me to Penny?

That website is almost as hideous as the man himself.
I’m embarrassed to admit that they’re characters on Lost.
What’s “Lost”?
I mean, I know it’s a show on ABC about an island in the Pacific where weird crap happens, but here’s the thing: it was created by JJ Abrams who is responsible for destroying the Mission Impossible franchise and releasing the first movie of the 21st century bad enough that it ought to resurrect MST3K, “Cloverfield”.
So what could possibly be so good about “Lost” that it’s this weird couch-potato lure, that sex would be put off for?
So what could possibly be so good about “Lost” that it’s this weird couch-potato lure, that sex would be put off for?
Honestly, it’s one of the best network shows I’ve seen in years. It’s not awesome, but it’s pretty entertaining. It feels like a TV version of a game like Myst.
And with Netflix on demand, I don’t have to put off sex to watch it! (That should be a commercial).
This is coming from someone who hates about 98% of TV, by the way…
The show’s a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. Oh and there’s time travel, hot island sex and more daddy issues than the Steven Spielberg Collection.
Somebody didn’t see Michael Bay’s attempt to destroy the childhood of every 30-something Hasbro-loving male, did he? Besides, Abrams did the reboot/prequel/sequel for Star Trek, so that outta give him some sympathy points back (unless you’re going to get into an argument about how red matter can’t possibly initiate time travel, and in that case, fine).
It’s not awesome, but it’s pretty entertaining.
It’s got to be awesome for me to sit every week for an hour, and to put the massive power of my manly brain to work on the “mysteries”.
Which, given Abrams track record, I’d probably figure out in the pilot.

I’ve been to the Bohemian Grove once in my life, thanks.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH NO SPOILERS. I am only on the first two seasons. Ugh, why did I even start watching this show? Goddammit.
But, yes, it would be a lie if I said that Evangeline Lilly and Matthew Fox’s hotness(es) don’t factor into my enjoyment of the show.
Which, given Abrams track record, I’d probably figure out in the pilot.
Hey, sometimes Obvious Show is Obvious, but most of the time, you’re just like, “What the holy fuck is going on here?” Plus, Abrams doesn’t do all the writing.
most of the time, you’re just like, “What the holy fuck is going on here?”
Ah. “Heroes”, but after they saved the cheerleader!
Ah. “Heroes”, but after they saved the cheerleader!
Yes, but much, much better.
Now you’re grasping. It’s still the same century, right? And Bay did it twice! TWICE!
Well, you must’ve fallen asleep during all of Sawyer’s scenes, because that cat gets around.
That (and the ensemble cast) is what makes the show pretty good. You can change things up from ep to ep, and if any of your actors goes all “drunk-drive-y” in the real world their character can have a “run-in” with an Other or Smoke Monster.
Well, you must’ve fallen asleep during all of Sawyer’s scenes, because that cat gets around.
I guess I saw all the flashbacks, plus Michelle Rodriguez.
That (and the ensemble cast) is what makes the show pretty good
That, and the fact that they like to cocktease like no other show I’ve seen. You’ll be left with a cliffhanger on one episode and won’t get back to it until two episodes later. It’s addictive.
I honestly believe the creators of that show had no idea it would last past the first season. The story involving a secret agent dad becoming obsessed with protecting his already indestructible cheerleader daughter did not stretch well after Season One.
You’ll be left with a cliffhanger on one episode and won’t get back to it until two episodes later. It’s addictive.
See, that’s the problem I had with Heroes. I would leave the show for a month, and pick up the story with little changed in any aspect.
Frankly, that bores the hell out of me. Plus they did this whole “extended story” line that you went online for, and another that you could only get on Sprint cell phones, and BAH!
Enough. I was tired of being marketed to. I suspect Lost would have the same effect on me.
but most of the time, you’re just like, “What the holy fuck is going on here?”
I strongly beleive that the writers themselves say exactly that almost every week. I suspect that if they ever wrap the whole thing up there will be a plethora of loose ends left as well as several …?…profit! solutions.
I honestly believe the creators of that show had no idea it would last past the first season.
I can’t argue with that. The plot holes left in between season one and season two (plus the writers strike that curtailed season three) frustrated the hell out of me.
I really wanted to like Heroes. I thought the Sylar character was one of the most intriguing on TV ever.
See, that’s the problem I had with Heroes. I would leave the show for a month, and pick up the story with little changed in any aspect.
I don’t think it’s as bad as Heroes, though. Plus, it usually has little clues all the way along that aren’t huge gamechangers, but are fun to watch, you know?
I strongly beleive that the writers themselves say exactly that almost every week. I suspect that if they ever wrap the whole thing up there will be a plethora of loose ends left as well as several …?…profit! solutions.
I wonder about that, too. I’m worried it will end like the last bits of BSG, which would make me sad.
If you’re at that point, you also know Sayid gets his too. For the life of me, I don’t know how the show didn’t turn into some kind of island orgy.
Ah, the early years. Then the producers made a joke about the series lasting a decade, some fans freaked out and that’s pretty much how we got the six-season promise.
But back then, the writers felt like they had enough time to put some plots out there and let ’em simmer. things will definitely pick up between Seasons 3 and 4, and you’ll be thinking, remember when they actually had a freakin’ golf tournament on this show?
Oh they did too, but more in a “Holy crap! People like the show!” kinda way. With all the literary references, scientific theories, and nods to philosophers it’s actually more geek than commercial. But I’m sure ABC figured, “Hey; if some yahoo wants a Hurley mug…”
But back then, the writers felt like they had enough time to put some plots out there and let ‘em simmer. things will definitely pick up between Seasons 3 and 4, and you’ll be thinking, remember when they actually had a freakin’ golf tournament on this show?

Oh they did too, but more in a “Holy crap! People like the show!” kinda way.
Yeah, by the middle of the second season, I was like, “Really? I can’t believe this show is this popular. It’s so fucking weird!” The whole button thing creeped me the hell out for some reason.
I’ll just say there’s a resolution to that story and leave it at that.
But ponder this: notice how everyone who went down there changed somehow (Jack, Locke, Sayid, etc.)?
With all the literary references, scientific theories, and nods to philosophers it’s actually more geek than commercial.
Perhaps.
I’m oddball enough that I got that Pulp Fiction was a slapstick comedy. I seemed to be the only person in the Angelika who couldn’t stop laughing at it all…I mean, come on, a long haired hitman talking about Le Grande Royale to a afro’d hitman who quotes a non-existent Bible passage? It was way to Sartrean to be anything BUT the Three Stooges in suits.
(Killing Marvin just cemented the deal for me. I nearly peed my pants.)
Lost? I suspect it would just piss me off more than anything. I tried watching a re-run when SciFi first picked up the syndication, but was totally turned off by it.
Hey! S, N! found a topic that makes me long for OS wars.
But ponder this: notice how everyone who went down there changed somehow (Jack, Locke, Sayid, etc.)?
I didn’t really, aside from thinking that certain people went a little nuts. I have been wondering about the whole infection thing and how Rousseau said her people went “bad” and thought maybe that had something to do with it, and the whole thing with the Others and how some people are “good” and “bad.”
I’m oddball enough that I got that Pulp Fiction was a slapstick comedy.
Really? People didn’t get that?
I got it, but it felt so self-conscious to me that I wasn’t particularly amused. Then again, that’s how I feel about most of Tarantino’s stuff.
Hey! S, N! found a topic that makes me long for OS wars.
Well, I could talk about Dr. Who and the semantic web and gluten-free pastries instead…
Dr. Who exists so that Americans don’t have to feel self-conscious about the stupidity of Star Trek when talking to Brits.
Semantic web and gluten-free pasties, OTOH, have some promise as topics.
My 70-year-old father really took a liking to Dr. Who, although I think Billie Piper had a lot to do with it.
Billie Piper can do no wrong, with the exception of agreeing to act on Dr. Who.

This will make up for that, thank you

I thought Primeval existed so that Americans don’t have to feel self-conscious talking about the stupidity of Lost when talking to Brits?
Or was that Torchwood?
Oh, what the hell are you crazy-ass moonbats going on about now?
I suppose nobody’s mentioned Obama’s allowing the “targeted assassination” (*snerk*) of an American Muslim cleric (12th level, yet, with points in Rogue as well) in Yemen, which obviously means he’s going to go after Glennbeck next blah blah Waco flibberty flooples yadda yadda Ruby Ridge ack sploo.
*sigh* It’s Clinton all over again. At least he’s back off on nukes.
Not mutually exclusive.

Welp, that’s all I really talk about, unless you’re interested in shoes and/or the assholery of radfems’ obsessive deconstruction of sexuality.

Speaking of obsessive deconstructions of sexuality…..
unless you’re interested in shoes and/or the assholery of radfems’ obsessive deconstruction of sexuality.
Can’t we talk about lacy thongs? And then we can move onto women’s underwear.
What really drove it home for me (pun alert) was Death Proof. Tarantino went out of his way to make us think Russell’s character was the ultimate baddass (he even commented on how movies like Sky High basically castrated him) yet as soon as he gets shot in the arm? Niagara Falls, Frankie Angel.
I thought Primeval existed so that Americans don’t have to feel self-conscious talking about the stupidity of Lost when talking to Brits?
Okay, I’ll watch pretty much anything involving time travel/weird time anomalies, and even I think that show fucking sucks.
American Muslim cleric (12th level, yet, with points in Rogue as well)
Would that beat a 12th level monk who chanced upon a warhammer? Cuz then I’d better keep an eye out for Secret Service men.
Welp
I’m something like 15 years older and Actor’s about 40 years older than you. Who’s the welp here?

First, see responses two and three above.
Second, the only deconstruction of sexuality I approve of concerns robots.

Honestly? Never saw it. I did love Inglorious Basterds, though.
I think that show fucking sucks
Wait…there was more than Hannah Spearitt, Juliet Aubrey’s cleavage and Lucy Brown’s slutty body?????
I musta missed that.

Of course it is. That’s all we can ever hope for.

I do have to wonder if those things smell bad after a while. I mean, your feet can’t breathe in them. Then again, you can probably just stick them in the dishwasher.

This is very off topic but it is ridiculous and worth discussing:

So this is basically “Androids of Gor”?
This is about protection from the real TYRANNY of Obama and the left who are bound and determined to turn this country, the very country who have dispatched soldiers around the globe to stamp out communism, into a communist nation, where hard work is met with theft of wages and taxation without representation, in order to support the dope smoking, crack smoking lifestyles of baby factory ghettos and the Haight!
It not only pegs the Irony Meter but rips the needle off and uses it to shoot up pure China White to have a comment like that with an avatar of Mother Jones herself.
I mean, it’s the default avatar, but still HOLY SWEET SCREAMING JESUS.
BTW – Has Anon there forgotten he’s still allowed to vote for Congress, as well as the President? ’cause I don’t know where the fuck he’s getting “without representation” from. (Oh, I KNOW where he got it from, just that he has no fucking idea what it meant.)
Stross generally is, IMO.
OMG, just looked at his other stuff. No kidding! How have I not heard of this guy?
Did you not see the film?
@Mallet Palin — Yeah and our soldiers are no longer fighting communism, are they? I thought they were, you know, battling Terrusts or whatever else scares people in cities that will never be attacked.
MOT
I’m really not worried about the Oath Keepers. Here’s the thing: weekend warriors and poseurs don’t scare me because I know that they self-destruct easily. They THINK they have discipline, but when push comes to shove…well, just look at how much support McVeigh et al got once they bombed the Murragh building.
Furnaces all over the heartland blew out from the vacuum created from all the backpedalling militias and militiatites did.
Yea, it’s possible they’ll shoot up an abortion clinic or a welfare office. I doubt they’ve learned the lessons history teaches folks who stay awake in class. But I also think, long before it comes to violence, they’ll shoot themselves in the foot.
These guys are pathetic enough that they can’t be made fun of.
OMG, just looked at his other stuff. No kidding! How have I not heard of this guy?
Even if he does “Androids of Gor”, it’d still be cool.
I also recommend his “Laundry” series, starting with The Atrocity Archives. Neat cyber-Cthuloid stuff.
So this is basically “Androids of Gor”?
1. You say that like it’s a bad thing.
2. Stross is an infinitely better writer than Norman.
MG, just looked at his other stuff. No kidding! How have I not heard of this guy?
I only found out about him last year. The Laundry stuff is a 50/50 mix of James Bond and Lovecraft and is the funniest fiction I’ve read since my winter of Terry Southern.
These guys are pathetic enough that they can’t be made fun of.
Agreed actor, I mean, the moran in that article actually thinks his middle-name and keeping communication dedicated through Facebook with keep him safe. Oh, and having his picture taken, that’s genius. The NWO never reads MoJo.

Oh, and I loved Cloverfield. I’m not sure there is a better Giant Monster Destroys a City movie (which, granted, is a genre full of crap).
An MST3K of it would rock, though.
I am pretty sure Sylar was mostely lifted from the Johny Dread character of Otherlands (who was an awesome bad guy), at least in the beginning. Then they made him less and less interesting. Nikki and her son were the only really intriguing characters of the show to me by the end of season 1.
The whole concept of Heroes just died for me over time… no one was actually heroic, except the comic relief character. None of them tried to do anything interesting, much less helpful, with their powers. 4400 was a lot better, but I still never got into it much.
I was done with Lost once they started obsessing over the button. That whole sequence was so wrong for how those characters had been developed, I knew that it would just be random changes to keep us “guessing” from then on. I saw a few series of episodes afterwards because my ex followed it, and nothing about them changed my mind.
I think the most compelling TV I see anymore is Dirty Jobs.
Did you not see the film?
Wev. I like to live dangerously.
It not only pegs the Irony Meter but rips the needle off and uses it to shoot up pure China White to have a comment like that with an avatar of Mother Jones herself.

QFT on both counts.
I just thought it was cool to see a kaiju-type movie from the perspective of the people in the city instead of the monster. We really haven’t seen that since the original 195X Godzilla, that I can think of.
Nikki and her son were the only really intriguing characters of the show to me by the end of season 1.
I was sort of hoping (as they later toyed with) that Peter Petrelli would end up a villian and team up with Sylar.
You know, without making them brothers but not brothers, but then brothers because Nathan died and was absorbed by Sylar only Sylar didn’t know it so he thought he was Nathan Petrelli so long as Parkman could trap Sylar’s true nature and…
Well, now you know why it pissed me off so much.
You don’t watch CSI: [Major U.S. City]??
“Dr G: Medical Examiner” is better and true.
“House” has its moments for me, but then I got hooked on it only after my ex told me in a fit of anger that I was a bigger bastard than he was.
I had to tune it in then. It’s true! Except for being a doctor, they must be shadowing me and taking notes.

If Cloverfield had had two Japanese Tinkerbelles, it would have been better.

The fuck? I’m glad I stopped watching that show about three episodes into the second season.
I just thought it was cool to see a kaiju-type movie from the perspective of the people in the city instead of the monster.
If only they had made it well.
Here’s my complaint with Cloverfield: nothing happens for twenty minutes to establish anything apart from the fact that there’s some party going on.
I get that this is to mock the whole mien of videotaping your entire life as if you were the only person on the planet and everyone is so endlessly fascinated with you that you feel compelled to Tweet your breakfast menu. I’m actually OK with that, but there was nothing to impel the plot of the movie.
I felt the four characters (or however many were roaming the city) had little connection to each other, just four random strangers and that’s OK too. That happens in disasters, except these weren’t strangers and the tension that was supposed to be set up in the first twenty minutes, the conflicts, just never really materialized except in some superficial “Oh yea, well you’re…” way.
That’s high school fanzine writing. A movie director is supposed to show, not tell.
So without the whole “Will he protect her (or she him)?” dynamic, it was about the monster and the destruction. OK, fine. But then you have to show the damned monster as being the scariest fucking monster in history and not Godzilla with gills.
In fact, I’d argue that the Matthew Broderick “Godzilla”, as egregious an effort as that was, was better than Cloverfield, which gave me a headache.
Stross = awesome. Ken MacLeod (“The Cassini Division”) also, too.
It not only pegs the Irony Meter but rips the needle off and uses it to shoot up pure China White to have a comment like that with an avatar of Mother Jones herself.

Oh? Then you missed Dad Petrelli coming out of a coma…
OT, but…K-Lo is descending further into incoherence:
Normally I don’t much care for Dowd, but if she’s issuing papal encyclicals…well, interest, newsletter, etc.

Dowd’s so lapsed, she probably thinks Papal Encyclicals is a mode of green commuting in Rome.

I think I did, but I’m not 100% sure. The last storyline I really remember was Peter leaving his Irish girlfriend in the future.

Especially when you pass the blame to teh homos, like Mr Donohue. It also helps to just put your fingers in your ear and yell “LA LA LA LA”.

If I had, she probably would have called me “as big a bastard” as House…

Ah, robot sex, great topic! Frank Zappa had an amusing song on Joe’s Garage Acts I, II, and III about it (apologies in advanced for the scrolling):
Scene in a confession booth where a 12 year old boy sits:
“Father, forgive me for I have sinned. I lured a priest at another church into raping me.”
“Say 6 Hail Marys, 3 I’m So Sorrys, see me instead of him the next time, and you’ll be right with God. Amen”
I thought the intro segment for Cloverfield was good; it established the links for the main characters and gave them enough personality to care about what happened to them (I really don’t know why you felt they were strangers to each other, I never felt that way about them at all). It gave the protagonist a believable reason to travel back across the city to rescue his love interest without making it an over-the-top love story in a distaster movie (which is way too common). It gave his two best friends a reason to stick with him while he did it. And it set a background of normalcy for the chaos that followed.
I think that’s the default avatar over there.
And holy crap, you said that it the next sentence. Goddamn TV talk done kilt my last goddamn braincell.
“in” *sigh* I miss Percy, he was a good little braincell. None too bright, I admit, but he was all I had.

“I thought the intro segment for Cloverfield was good;”
Sorry to continue the Cloverfield sub-thread into near-infinity, but I thought that intro segment nearly killed the film. Introducing the lead characters in an apartment overlooking Central Park was bad enough (I’m really supposed to care if these trust fund douchebags live or die?).
Douchebag #1 goes to his best friend’s going away party and can’t even be bothered to work the video camera, so he hands it off to Douchebag #2 who is similarly unconcerned about documenting their dear friend’s goodbye. And we’re supposed to like these people?
The other thing that nearly killed it was that the writer(s) apparently realized that it’s really hard to make a giant monster film genuinely scary, so an enormous amount of the running time was spent battling smaller, spider-like creatures, in the kind of setpieces we’ve seen a million times before (as in, for example, the Alien series).
But the effects were good, and Lizzy Caplan is always appealing. Quarantine did the pre-horror verite intro much better, and The Host is an infinitely better giant monster film, the best of its kind IMHOP (in my house of pancakes).
“I honestly believe the creators of that show had no idea it would last past the first season.”
Ah. AKA–“X-FILES Syndrome.” A disease usually compounded by the creators swearing up and down they honestly-truly-really have an end-game in mind as they continue to pile twists upon twists to the point there’s no way the show can make sense. I don’t get why American TV doesn’t take more cues from the Brits and do more limited-run series. A good number of tanked long-form shows (soon to be joined by V and FLASHFOWARD, apparently) would work fine if they went a few weeks-and-out.
This fatso got his feelings hurt. Nobody except “Mega-ditto’s” conformists can post.
Here is what i wrote him:
I am not trying to be mean. Nobody can excoriate someone for being a sissy and a fake athlete successfully. That is a stupid argument that demeans the arguer.
When the hater is in terrible physical shape and when it seems the hater is obsessed with proving the one he hates is “not much of a man”, it is so defensive it makes the hater, you, seem impotent.
I am sorry there is a black man as president for all you white people who are frightened. I won’t say Get a Life, but you are so small in actions like these that you seem dangerous. You characterize your enemies as sub-human like the Japanese did and we are all one country.
What a bunch of sore losers. You argue that when you win elections, your President can do anything he wants, and when the people you spew hatred on win elections, you are still the only ones whose opinion matters.
very very pathetic. And when people call you out on this you hide behind censorship, as if it makes sense to argue, “We are talking about why Obama is sub-human physically and in his interests, and my body and interests are off limits.
No wonder GOP and conservatives never learn to argue or engage. You live in a conformist bubble of hate where “Mega-ditto’s” and memorization replace thinking and living.

It took an entire movie to straighten the X Files out.
I have had to say this two times today:
I had a lot of aspirations in my life, but one that escaped me was the aspiration to be as blockheadedly stupid, superficial, and completely steeped in absolutely useless knowledge as a sportswriter. I can think of few professions that are of less use to society, or peopled with more forgettable lunkheads, as the sports reporting profession.
Heroes Season 3 was am uncomfortable mess*, but what got me to finally leave Heroes (like an abusive lover) was the end of Season 3 when the writers clearly didn’t care any more. They killed not-Peter Petrelli *for-realsies*, without even bothering to invent a reason why Resurrection Blood couldn’t work this time. Give me a reason, any reason. Even a half-assed excuse, even the lamest turd dumped on my lap would keep me watching like a moron. But to not even care enough about the show to even bullshit a reason was the final straw. Cremate him, tear him in pieces, say ‘his brain is too scrambled’ or something. But do something. Seriously, the Cheerleader of Resurrection +3 is standing right there. She’s done it half a dozen times in the past month. Pop open a vein and cast Raise Dead already.
