  1. I got hit in the throat by a golf ball. Some idiot underestimated his driver by about 50 yards and didn't even yell FORE. One thing I've always wondered...what's the closest I ever came do dying and I wasn't even aware of it?
  2. It's not just here. Everybody whines about how Skyler is a cheater, but seem to forgive Walt for putting his family's life in jeopardy (including his infant daughter) every single day. I personally like/dislike characters based on how well they're played. Skyler is meant to be grating, I believe, but some people can't seem to separate her from Anna Gunn. Like this.
  3. Michael Scott's farewell episode should have been the series finale - part of making a great thing is knowing when to quit.
  4. I'd say that the definition of loyalty is sticking by a friend who wasn't loyal to you. Now, there's such a thing as a toxic friendship, but people are not perfect.
  5. Ah, come on. Marie is great. She really didn't have your guys' sympathy when dealing with Hank last season? I think Betsy Brandt does an awesome job with a character that honestly doesn't get enough attention from the writers.
  6. I would sodomize 22 sweaty cole miners for her phone number.
  7. Well, hey, people in LA might be twice as likely to kill you but they'll say "hello".
  8. Call me a cynic, but I've basically observed three types of married couples. 1. They truly love (and more importantly, don't annoy the hell out of) each other and they stay together happily. 2. They grow apart and want to end it, but respect their promise and stick it out unhappily. 3. They grow apart and decide to end things. #1 is reserved for the lucky few. #2 used to be more prevalent, especially in the Catholic tradition, but has given way to #3 in modern times. People also get married for the wrong damn reasons. I'm 23, so a lot of my friends are getting engaged. "Oh my God, we've only been dating for 3 months but we're TOTALLY into the same movies and we both loooooove The Arcade Fire!"
  9. Every burgeoning celebrity should take a page out of the Derek Jeter playbook. Unless having a family is your #1 priority in life, just don't get married. Sew those wild oats. Jeet's plowed a murderer's row of the most beautiful women in the world and nobody thinks he's a cretin or a loser because he doesn't have 5 divorces or a track record of infidelity.
  10. That's cool. I'm a nerd about fans. Ceiling fans, rotary fans, traditional Japanese paper fans, cross flow fans, laptop fans, industrial fans.
  11. You can take care of the problem or you can stay comfortable and have a head. Your call.
  12. Craniectomy will probably take care of it.
  13. If you read the title of this thread and skipped ahead to the final page, you'd probably assume that Josh Reed insulted Buffalo's pizza joints.
  14. Whoops. You're right. Consider my comment withdrawn.
  15. Denouement - The pivotal conclusion to a story's conflict, usually involving some sort of reveal. Penultimate - Next to last Extrapolation - The use of existing information or data to derive predictions. Sanitized View - A matter of extreme ugliness being presented in such a way that it seems harmless or matter-of-fact. Interesting thought, but my hesitation is in that the media has never played a significant role on Breaking Bad. The final scene would be a strange time to assert a new motif.
  16. I think Jay's point was that such a simplistic analysis could be provided by literally anybody who follows the NFL, not an Insider.
  17. The Nelson thing puzzles me too. When it started a couple years back, I thought people were just confusing him with Shawn Nelson. Now that that's clearly not the case, is it just because he's a tall receiver who doesn't lineup out wide? I also don't agree with his characterization of Marcell Dareus as an X-factor, because... 1) He was consistently solid for a rookie D-lineman. 2) In the unlikely case that Dareus flames out, there are still 2 pro bowlers on the line. If anybody is an X-Factor, it's Gilmore.
  18. rooster is a considerably more plentiful commodity than kitty, but most of us simply aren't consumers.
  19. Howl wasn't significant when it was published?? Now, I personally think Ginsberg was a pretentious hack, but that thing was a whirlwind.
  20. 37 for me. It's obviously a matter of subjectivity, but I have one complaint. If only a small handful of playwrights make that list, nothing by Tennessee Williams should be present. Where's Arthur Miller?
  21. http://www.businessinsider.com/rush-limbaugh-bain-capital-batman-bane-obama-romney2012-7 Does every goddamn thing have to be a conspiracy theory?
  22. Remember Leftwich at Marshall being carried down the field by his teammates?
  23. Look man, we all make mistakes. It's cool. I just don't want any trouble. Nobody needs to get...biopsied.
