I still have that as one of my rotating desktop images at home.  Much <3.

Product placement doesn't brand as effectively as actual commercials do.  I'd always understood it as working well for established brands who wanted to associate their (already recognizable) product with a certain image, but it's hard to see how it would help establish a newcomer.

Please note that I didn't actually read the wiki entry, so if this is covered or contradicted by anything there: it wasn't me, someone else used my account and posted this.

And those of us who do still use our televisions (as well as our computers) tend to zip right through the commercials (all hail TiVo, Lord and Master of this Earth).  I honestly think that advertisers are going to have to come up with something drastic fairly soon.

This is the same public that decided that Everybody Loves Raymond, Friends, and Home Improvement were comedic genius.  Clearly, the public and I have a few things to hash out.  These differences that can best be addressed by my becoming Supreme Overlord of Taste for the United States (and possibly, later, the world).  I'm going to lobby Congress about this.

Also, I forgot 24 (I have no idea how!).  I am watching far too much television at the moment.

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT.  IF MORE OF YOU WOULD WATCH IT, IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN CANCELED GODDAMMIT.

The drunk Marc IRC log takes the cake for me.  DSE 4L

LMAO

Oh shit that's awesome.

Obviously someone needs to do the same thing with the infamous stormtrooper pic.

That's why there *has* to be a Central Valley.  Bakersfield?  Fresno?  They're the innocent civilians caught in the crossfire between LA and the Bay Area.  They're nonpartisan.

Is this because of that hooker whose kid you tortured before you dismembered her and donated her trick money to the GOP?  Because I told you before, man, they'll never be able to prove anything.

One of my jobs in college was in the main stacks of the Berkeley library, organizing, reshelving, reordering, etc.  We had similar shelving units--huge blocks of them, and you'd open them up to the section you wanted once you figured out where the desired book was located.  This was to save space, and even though they tunneled out a huge four-story cavern underneath the (very large) glade that surrounds the library, there were still literally many millions of books that had to be stored off-campus.  So I literally worked with millions of books in shelving units like that.

So I have two reactions: 1) I used to have to pick up and reorganize stuff like that, so I can't help but feel some sort of weird combination of OCD and PTSD in looking at that mess.  I think it might give me nightmares.  2) AWESOME.  I always wanted to knock one of those motherfuckers over.

I used to look forward to your posts on TnT!  It was great to have gone with you to Wbury last year, too.  I don't play anymore either, but I still hang around in the Community sections.  You should, too.

This is back in Meandeck Europe?  THAT's what I call strategic superiority.  We innovate so good.

Ooooooh, Salad Fingers.  That's my vote.

No, that's the thing, when I lived in Berkeley that was precisely the reason there *wasn't* a student discount.  It would be functionally equivalent to simply lowering prices across the board.  I mean, what are you gonna do, not go to the movies?  Unthinkable.

Also, guys, dibs on the Soda Girls idea.  Patent pending.

Yeah, I don't think I've paid less than about $9 for a movie in a good five years.  Where the hell do you people live?  $7.50?  Student discounts?  Do they have a unicorn tear your ticket?  Do chocolate-covered elves show you to your seat?  Do they stand next to you during the movie so that you can snack on them?  Are there scantily-clad soda-girls who bring you any beverage you desire, nestled snugly in their cleavage?

It's like I just summoned Bram!  That was awesome!

Uhm, dude... Calvin and Hobbes.  This is even more obvious than Leo and the Two Score Dwarves.

Also, LOL @ Jacob.

This was so hard.  I ended up going for Family Circus because I remember one comic from years ago that was so not funny that my roommate and I spent a good fifteen minutes trying to figure out if there was actually a joke in the strip that was totally brilliant and going way over our heads.

There wasn't.  The comic just sucked that bad.

Yeah, but dude, EA.  You know there will be unpatched problems with the game for the first two months at least.  It'll be at LEAST April before your worries are REALLY over.

I'm a big DMC fan.  Just remember to get either the first DMC or the third, but NOT Devil May Cry 2.  That game sucked ass, and was ridiculously easy.  On the other hand, DMC3 on the hardest levels is basically impossible (at least for me, since I only end up playing it about once every couple of weeks).

Dude, seriously, an Accord with 140k miles is the equivalent of a Ford with 30k miles on it.  No joke, Hondas last absolutely forever.  Get a Honda with a stick, don't ride your clutch, and that thing's got who knows how much life left in it.

My $0.02.

And I believe I  have a new someone on the ignore list!

I'm waiting for kl0wn to go ballistic here.

Haha, I think that's mine, too.  Though I do have some really good memories of casual play back when I first started.

OMG you are all so dense.  Paul the Apostle coined the term "Rez" in his long-lost third letter to the Corinthians.

While I'm sure we've all met good ol' Whiskey Dick on at least one occasion, I've never dated a woman who would be willing to actually keep at it for that long.

After all, it stops being a negative (and you really DO become Superman) if it goes beyond oral.  Treasure those moments, gentleman, when you are That Guy who really can screw like a porn star for as long as desired.

I just assumed that the 45 minutes was due to making out first, since I'm pretty sure that our Elizabeth's jaw would have fallen off otherwise.  Unless she's a pro....

I can't imagine it's real, but I'm really hoping it is.

OMG yes, it makes me feel ancient.  Parfait was the first Vintage deck I ever built, and actually playing it in a tournament spurred my determination to find a few Moxen as soon as possible.

Are we sure this isn't some sort of genius publicity stunt?  I mean, if I lived in Dutchie-land I'd probably watch it, too, just to see if someone screwed it up on camera.
