I can't stand 2 minutes of Larry King or Sean Hannity. Grrrr I dislike Sean Hannity. It's like he considers intelligent reasoning to be a completely unnecessary aspect of human behavior.

I hate Larry King too. I have never understood how he got to be so successful. And it is so unfortunate that I hate him so much because he always gets interviews with the most interesting people.
 
He is successful because he knows a lot of people, and he invites them on his show and gives them softball questions. It's not journalism, it's People magazine meets CNN. Why would any famous person go on an interview with someone who asks real questions when they could go on larry king or oprah or a political host of their own persuasion and get their butt polished?

Nana, I have a dog at my feet. With the impeccable timing that must be the trademark of my family, we collected him from the SPCA yesterday. (My mum and I - primary pet-caregivers - will be leaving for the US next Friday.)
Your mum is coming with you?

My dog just finished swatting me with his paw and moved onto chasing me with his tail.

flea-like attention spans, maybe?

She is coming to buy me a condo. (HAH! I wish!)

Yes, just for a little while. I was surprised. It wasn't my suggestion. Too bad she won't be around long enough to come for the new residents' summer BBQ 🙁

My dog is a doormat. He is almost more a cat than a dog. His favourite position is my avatar.
 
When I was 15 years old I never thought I would be saying I don't care one bit about the NBA finals. People who hate sports care more about it than me, it seems. Weird.

Last night's game was total domination by the Pistons. It was beautiful. Spurs looked like a bunch of little bitches.
 
Yes, and 5 days prior the roles were reversed. I fail to understand how home court advantage can make this much difference. All home courts are relatively equal. Akin to Norman Dale in Hoosiers, one can take a tape measure and discover that all have equal dimensions. The only conclusion that one can reach is that emotion plays way too much of a role in these games, and that on the road the players simply do not play as hard.

Well, home court is definitely big. And I hope that home court isn't everything cuz then Detroit would lose in 7 games. Andy no like. Bad stuff. Make Andy sad.

I like to think that Detroit lost the first two games because they were exhausted from the Miami series and hence they lacked focus. Oh, and they played like a bunch of sissies.

Plus, in Games 3 and 4 they played harder. They played dirtier. They made it hard for Ginobili and Duncan. Hard fouls. It was beautiful! Ginobili has a bum thigh now? Man, if Detroit keeps playing hard like this, Ginobili's vagina is gonna be hurtin' too by the end of the series.
 
yaah said:
Yeah, but it will probably be like every other series and when they go back to San Antonio the Pistons will crap out again. Maybe not. I like to see the road team win sometimes.
Maybe it'll be like the Pistons-Heat series...game 7...Detroit wins the finals away from home.

I'm still happy the Heat aren't in the championship. Denying Shaq the championship he so desperately wants to win (again) was just too sweet.

Have you see his lame Icy-Hot sleeve commercial? I badly want to win a championship that it hurts! But I work through it...with the Icy-Hot sleeve. :laugh: Keep workin' Shaq. Keep workin'.

Have you noticed that Wade's first name is spelled Dwyane? What the heck is that? How do you pronounce Duane from Dwyane? Some commentators pronounce it Duh-Wayne. OK fine. It's Duh-Wayne. But how the hell do you get Duh-Wayne from Dwyane?

Does there exist a woman who's name really is LaFawnDuh?
 
Yeah - I remember seeing the whole Dwyane spelling when he was at Marquette. Very weird. I am not sure if it's his mother's way of trying to make him unique, or somebody ****ed up and they kept it anyway, or everyone just has no clue. :laugh:

The other thing that's funny about the NBA is there are about 1000 different ways to spell Antoine. :laugh:

Yeah but phonetically Antoine and the spelling variations thereof make sense.

I am befuddled by Dwyane. It's like saying, OK I'm gonna name my son Antwyane but I want you to pronounce it Antwaan.
 
:laugh: Speaking of, that reminds me of the character "General Grievous" a bad guy so sinister, his very name stands for PAIN AND SUFFERING. Nice job a**holes. Tired of thinking up awesome names like "Lord Dooku" and "Nute Gunray" for your bad guys? Why not just call all your characters "Evil" and "Bad" next time? All Grievous needed was a monocle, and a large black moustache that he could twirl as he cackled "I'll get you, if it's the last thing I do!" Ditch this bull****.

Hola. How's it going? Me, I'm relaxing this fine Sunday afternoon with SDN and a little biochem. 🙂
Good. I am about to leave for a father's day dinner. Otherwise, I am reading therepeutics (for next year) and working through my list of stuff to do. 👍

Work makes my feet hurt. Then in the fall my ass will hurt from sitting so much. It'll take me about a week and a half to adjust to each one. :laugh:

It can be. I have seen worse though...:scared:
You're a ****ing liar :laugh:

Baltimore to Boston should've taken 6 hours. It took me a little over 10 to make that drive yesterday.

I think I'm allergic to the Bronx. Sitting on the Cr Bronx Expy with my thumb up my ass for 2 ****ing hours...I was starting to break out in hives!

Most people are allergic to things they would otherwise like. For example, let's take Timmy who is allergic to mangoes...gets a butt rash whenever he eats it...he cries every night because he is allergic to something that is so yummy. Then let's take Wilford who has peanut allergies. He is so jealous of the kids at school who eat PB&J sandwiches...if God could grant him a miracle, he would wish that the peanut allergy was no more. He cries everyday at school since his sandwich only has jelly (or jam, whatever the **** you wanna call it).

Now let's take Andy. Andy is allergic to the Bronx. But Andy hates the Bronx.
 
WTF gas prices always go up when I need gas. They went up 20 cents between sunday night and monday morning. 😡 Idiot gas stations - oil prices go up and they raise gas prices within 5 minutes. Oil prices go down, and they moderately decrease their prices at a slow rate. Damn capitalists. 😡

You get the premium **** or the regular ****?
 
Ha! That's nothing!

I went to a friend's house and passes a gas station thinking I would stop there on the way home. In the fours it took for me to get back on the road, it went up 12 cents. In just a few hours! All in the same day!!! It wasn't like, Oh! it's midnight... better jack up the prices for the Monday morning car jockeys! No! This was all in the same afternoon.

Ba$****$!

I have to get premium. My car would reject anything less and the engine would be less efficient.

What generally happens is that I fill up the tank, and then the next day it is back down and I curse. So this time I only filled it halfway, and will fill it the rest when it goes down. Most likely, it won't go down though and I will have to pay the same price. But at least I will have tried.
 
I have to get the premium stuff too...cuz I gotta live first class to be first class! 😉 Of course, if I was really first class, I'd be driving at LEAST a beamer.
 
Speaking of getting gas, I hate doing so on the NJ turnpike. Damn full service gas pumps with a line of cars just sitting there to get gas. Having somebody pump the gas for you totally makes things inefficient. What if you have to use your credit card? At the self-service pumps, you slide you card through, you pump your gas, get your receipt and you f*cking leave! At these ******ed full service pumps, you have to give you credit card, they walk over to their ******ed little booths, they swipe the cards on their little ******ed cardswiper thingies, then they bring you a slip of paper, you have to sign it, then finally you can leave. What a crock of uncircumcised elk smegma!
 
Yep. I always avoided getting gas in NJ because of that. It's some law they have to prevent job loss. I guess there are gas station attendants who have friends in high places or something.
 
I was told it's a state law. There's no such thing as self-service gas stations in NJ.

Hey - I just saved 30% on my bill at Kroger! That's close to a new record for me, I think. Everything I was getting was on sale.
