If I want to have a friend over, what would be a good movie to rent to watch over delicious freshly cooked dinner for someone who likes Seinfield ?
Star trek ?

Depends on the person...and the situation...I think Coen Bros movies are kinda in the same vein of humor as Seinfeld...if you want to go the comedy route...

Why do I get the feeling that this is a friend that you want to be more than a friend?
Hmm..http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0305711/
or you could just watch Seinfeld....

Apparently, this was overshadowed by some gay dude kissing some other gay dude. For some reason that still shocks people. I have absolutely no idea why. Anyway, this bitch is ****ing insane. "I'm gonna dance like Elaine Benes and smash my way into a giant glass cube with a piano inside using a microphone stand and set that **** ON FIRE!"

Does this woman take PCP mixed with LSD while planning performances or something?

I've been laughing like crazy after catching up on this thread!
On a random note: We're currently going through a pharmacology block here, and it was pretty interesting...until we reached drug metabolism.
Also, I'm currently in a pharm/tox lab (even though the primary work in the lab is done in yeast), and I may end up staying there. The irony.

Another year, another month and a half of misery. I already can't escape the Xmas songs. **** you Jingle Bells. Everytime I hear someone say anything related to anything that happens in late November or December makes me want to punch them.
I wish there was no more "Holiday Season." The same damned songs, symbols, food, movies, shows..same damned everything....every year...year after year after year...ad infinitum.
Thanksgiving. WTF is that bull****? A holiday in which we show our "thanks" for being so lucky to be born in the industrialized world by treating ourselves by sitting around and gorging on food for two straight days in the most obese country in the history of the world? Meanwhile, there are kids in Africa that haven't eaten in 5 damned days. You give "thanks" by sacrificing something in someway. That's like me telling someone "thanks" for doing something for me by going out and buying myself a big screen TV. To hell with that. I'm boycotting Thanksgiving. I'm not eating all day on Thursday.
Not to mention the fact that they bring out the same bull**** story about the "White people and The Injins" Yeah. They really loved each other. One side thought those on the other side were subhuman and the other side kinda had this crazy idea that being genocided by a bunch of foreigners wasn't a great idea. So, what, I'm giving thanks for a bunch of racist ass Englishmen paving the way for my pasty ass to be living on some Indigenous American's back yard?
To hell with Thanksgiving.
And then the day after Thanksgiving, we have the biggest holiday for the capitalists in retail. Black Friday. People have literally died from being beaten/trampled to death by worshipers coming to pay tithes to the gods of consumerism. Getting a 42" 1080p TV for $500 will do that to people, I guess.
Of course, the reason for this is because of another holiday...
Ah, yes...Christmas. The most pathetic, insidious, wasteful, vacuous, and morally insipid holiday there is.
Ok, so a bunch of people that worship some arbitrary deity out of the list of hypothesized deities needed to mix their beliefs with the pagan beliefs about the whole life/death/resurrection of nature story. There's a reason why Christmas is celebrated at the same time as Winter Solstice. It's really just a Pagan holiday. That's why you have trees. It's an ancient European deistic mystery religion symbol. But, yet, the people that believe the dominant religion of our Western culture for the last few millenniums treat it like its actually their holiday. And that's fine, I guess. I get candy canes 80% off come the first week of January.
Anyway...right there, we can show that the holiday has no intrinsic and legitimate tie to the religion its supposed to be associated with.
Of course, people will retort with that whole "holiday spirit" bull****.
That's what it is though...bull****. Really, all its associated with in the US is buying **** for family and friends. Of course, with the expectation that other family and friends will buy you ****, too. So in reality, basically everyone is buying **** for themselves via the proxy of random people you know trading each other **** they know the other person would buy for themselves if they had an excuse to.
Now, if people bought said **** for those lower on the economic or social ladder than themselves, I would think the holiday is awesome. Oh, wait, that day already exists. It's the day after Christmas.
See, most Americans think Boxing Day is some weird ass Canadian thing about two dudes punching each other.
Man...NO.
Boxing day was a day celebrated in the Commonwealth countries as the day when those with high social stature would buy gifts for those that typically serve them as a showing of gratitude and goodwill to those not as fortunate as them.
Now for those of you that enjoy that whole Yahweh up in the sky being a benevolent, omniscient, omnipotent force thing....which day really sounds more in tune with your religion? Christmas Day or Boxing Day?
So, this year, I'm boycotting Christmas and I'm celebrating Boxing Day. It's a holiday worthy of my attention.
As such, here is a list of acceptable and unacceptable federal or otherwise holidays:
+ (Ok holidays)
----------
Martin Luther King, Jr's Birthday
Why? Dude had balls. He stood up for what he believed in using respectful, yet passionate and meaningful protest. That and its ****ed up and embarrassing that an entire group of people had lesser civil rights at any point...ever...
Washington's Birthday
Why? Dude had balls. There was a 80% chance he was gonna die doing what he thought was right. Then the crazy son of a bitch pulled off an upset like whoa. Vegas gave the US like 5 touchdowns in that one against the favored British. And we beat their stupid overrated asses. Haha. **** you Queen/King.
Labor Day
Why? Because labor is what makes the world run. Capitalists get WAAAAAAY too much credit for everything. They should have Labor Month as far as I'm concerned. The only lame thing is that some laborers have to work. F' that. NOBODY except for critical employees should be expected to work. Like Xmas.
Veteran's Day
Why? Dudes got sent halfway around the world just to get shot at. That's enough for me. Hell, I'd expect a damned holiday for that ****, too. Plus my pops is a Desert Storm Vet. In the words of Ali G, "Respek."
Boxing Day
Why? (See above)
Ma's/Pa's Day
Why? No reason to think it's stupid. Take your momma out to Golden Corral, buy her some chocolates...nothing wrong with that. Plus, both holidays originated in West Virginia, thus making them intrinsically awesome.
--
(-) Stupid Holidays
-----------
New Year's Day
Why? It's an arbitrary day. Who the hell says the year starts...NOW? Plus all it means is that we've gone another year...which means we are all another year older...and another year closer to death...and just had to endure another Xmas season.
Memorial Day
Why? Why the **** do you spend only one day remembering those that passed before you? You should remember them more often than that. Lame.
Independence Day
Why? Because its not cool enough. A bunch of ballsy ass, probably borderline insane dudes got fed up and told the most powerful country in the world to go **** themselves. Washington, Paine, Franklin, Jefferson...I'm talking about some REAL intellectuals. Those sons of bitches each had IQs over 150. They were true philosopher-kings. And again, with the balls. My god the balls. It's like Hawaii trying to break away from the US and telling them to come get some if they want their land back. And then Hawaii beating the living **** out of the US with the help of maybe a few sympathetic Chinese generals. And yet what do we do for them? A bunch of stupid fireworks? No. We need to restructure this holiday to be much, much more badass than that.
Easter
Why? Just like Christmas, it's a "Christian" holiday that "just so happens" to be at the same time as ancient Pagan Earth-based religions Spring equinox celebrations that celebrate the renewal and increased fertility of nature. Hence, the Easter egg. Just like the Xmas tree, a Pagan symbol...for a Pagan holiday. There is a reason why Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon that occurs after the Vernal Equinox. You know...because all of those Abrahamic religions revolve around phases of the moon and equinoxes... Though I do appreciate it because it means that soon I will be seeing girls in miniskirts around town. So maybe its not THAT bad.
Columbus Day
Why? The dude wasn't the first human to see the Americas. A few million aboriginal folk had him beat. WTF kind of hubris is that, really? Hell, he wasn't even the first European to come to the Americas. That would be the Vikings. Basically, it's a holiday for Italians to feel like they accomplished something. Whatever, they brought us lasagna, cappuccino, and have great pizzerias. Plus their women are usually good lookin'. I'll give them a pass. But not their stupid ass holiday.
Valentine's Day
Why? It's a bull**** holiday, period. It's made for women, by women for the benefit of women. **** that. I leave the toilet seat up all day on purpose.
Xmas/Thanksgiving
Why? (See Above)
I wish there was no more "Holiday Season." The same damned songs, symbols, food, movies, shows..same damned everything....every year...year after year after year...ad infinitum.

They still have Xmas. The only place you can hide is Atlantic City, NJ. It's just you and ten thousand Asians on vacation. They have no concept of Thanksgiving or Xmas. It's absolutely wonderful.
Thankfully, I have a Jewish wife, so my hatred of all things Christmas isn't wasted on a Kringle.

Don't you get paid extra for working these holidays which you hate so much? I'm not big on celebrating holidays either (with the exception of Memorial Day and Veteran's Day), but that would be enough reason for me to like them.

I always work the holidays - no kids, no family close, and get paid more to do less.
I haven't even played the campaign yet - this is the first video game I've played in 4 years. I gotta be the WORST level 36 player - my K/D is like 0.3, longest kill streak is 5, haha. I pretty much suck, but I can't seem to stop playing it....

Speaking of Modern Warfare 2...I just got 1000/1000 gamerscore. The Spec Ops missions "High Explosive" and "Snatch and Grab" on veteran are ungodly difficult. The celebratory scream I let out when I finally took out Snatch and Grab on veteran going solo scared the **** out of my wife.

Yeah, Caesars is probably my favorite place in AC in terms of what you get for your money, all the other casinos (with the exception of the borgata) just aren't as nice. Plus Caesars has a mall attached to it, even though most of the stores are for rich people
Total rewards is a must have though, you can save a lot of money by getting free/discounted hotel rooms, even if you venture out to vegas
i decided to splurge on borgata this time b/c i luckily found a job in houston (my so just moved there for a job in the education field), so I can at least enjoy some of money that I had saved up

I wholeheartedly agree.
Except you forgot my birthday. I don't have balls, but I definitely have ovaries. I think they're pretty average-sized...
I spent most of my birthday (the 29th) recovering from celebrating it the night before. Recovering and eating Thanksgiving leftovers.

This "Meet the natives USA" show on the Travel Channel is wonderful. Basically, they got 5 people from an isolated Pacific island and they are taking a tour of the US. It winds up being a scathing and humorous look at just how futile and bizarre American culture is. Their take on Thanksgiving and Xmas is making me happy.

If you want a cheapie that tastes mind-blowingly good and very smooth, Trader Joes has this red wine -it's only $5.99 that is just pure liquid awesomness. I don't remember the exact name but the bottle has this big picture of the compass on the front, so it's hard to miss.

My local Sam's Club is ******ed.
This reminds me....When I worked stocking the frozen food aisles of my local Wal-Mart back in the day I came across a bag of "Assorted Pop-Sicles" that were all banana.....awkward.

I wish I had some snow. It used to snow in Little Rock around December, and then many years ago, it stopped. Now we're getting snow around February and March.
