  1. Lindsey Buckingham backed up Tom Petty on "Walls". No video's anywhere on the intarwebs, tho.
  2. It's what happens when the graphics designer wants "Boy-Girl-Boy-Girl", but the studio says "Bill the Oscar nominee last". Demming wrote about how errors occur more frequently when the number of people responsible for quality exceeds 1. Made a stunning $300k at the box office. That's the last time Chris Isaak agrees to work for scale and take points. Original poster Brad Renfro's last movie. He was good in Bully and 10th & Wolf.
  3. Hey, I love to quote movies. It doesn't mean that I've actually caddied for the Dalai Lama. Maybe this little girl was channeling ? (NSFW) Who's to say?
  4. Hey.... wait a minute! Ok, ok.... can't judge, can't judge.
  5. Friend of mine that works in the city sent me this yesterday: Saw a guy at the corner of Broadway & Lafayette with a sign that said 'Need money to get drunk so women can take me home & molest me.'
  6. Are you staying at the Princeville resort on Kauai? I stayed there back in '95. If you keep going north out past the wet caves to the end of the road, there's a hiking trail with some spectacular views. You can hike about 9 miles out to a beach on the other side of the island. I didn't do it, but I've heard from others that it can be cool. Trivia: On Kauai on the road between Kapaa and Princeville, you'll go by a valley on the western side of the road with a plantation at the bottom. It's a big drop-off. Douglas Kenney, one of the co-writers of Caddyshack (among other things), either fell or jumped to his death there. So, y'know, be careful. Congrats!
  7. Cures for diseases.
  8. Ahem... some important parts left out. Dorothy Kildall did what she was supposed to do when IBM presented her with their non-disclosure document: She let her lawyers look over it first. They promptly "puked all over the document" (quoted directly from the PBS documentary "Triumph of the Nerds"). So in reality, she couldn't even begin to talk to IBM about what they were proposing. Good bonus trivia: Tim Paterson sold The QDOS system to Bill & Paul for $50k (Greatest bargain since Manhattan going for $24). All of this happened with no lawsuits because Paterson bought a book containing CP/M source code at a local computer store. Publishing that book was probably more of a blunder than "leaving a woman in charge". And now you know, (some of) the rest of the story.
  9. Q: Who now has the QB situation least wanted by its fanbase 1) Syracuse Orange or 2) Minnesota Vikings? I say it's a push.
  10. I'm shocked (SHOCKED I say!) that no one responded if only to criticize your phonetic spelling of 'psyched'. Anyway, enjoy the outing.
  11. Slash on Twitter: @SlashHudson My friend & mentor Les Paul died today @ 94, he was one of the most stellar human beings I've ever known, rest in peace Les.
  12. Panera Bread & a couple of flasks? Should be quiet in the evening.
  13. You have a paying job? I'm proud of you Sage.
  14. Later, Pitt killed Bana, tied his body to his Bentley and drove off while muttering something about Patrick Cleese.
  15. Here's the "Death Panel" panel. I thought it was pretty funny.
  16. There's a void that needs filling. TV has been a wasteland since "Jesse" was cancelled. Here's something to chew on: When "Jesse" was on the air (Fall 1998- Spring 2000), the Bills were a playoff team. After it was cancelled? Not so much. Not causation, but certainly correlation. Just sayin'.
  17. "Lettuce prey."
  18. Tavern on the Tracks is just about the same distance away on the other side (Map). TotT is usually packed for Bills games. While parking won't be great when the Panthers are playing at the same time, it's no big deal for me: I take the train.
  19. Thanks. It will be difficult for them to overtake the Tavern on the Tracks, but I'll give it a look-see. Edit: Just checked and I'm playing in a golf tournament with that guy in a couple of weeks. Nice!
  20. DDoS Probably the North Koreans, those scamps.
  21. Chuck was played by two different actors. From Wiki:
  22. Owen Wilson and Reese Witherspoon are filming a Rom-Com in the building where I did my ROTC drills ~ 20 years ago. WTF?
  23. It gets the job done. I mostly use it for paninis more than anything. I'd broil a steak before I'd use this thing. The removable grill pieces are the biggest benefit. Today, I'd probably go with a Foreman to save on cost.
  24. Amen. I paid up for that feature with the Cuisinart Griddler a couple of years ago. Looks like the Salton folks wised up.
  25. The Asian guy is Ken Jeong. Adam Carolla had him on his podcast a few weeks ago. He's a real doctor!
