Roundup: Video of a Shark Leaping Over Surfers, Terrell Owens Injured Allegedly Taping a VH1 Show & Michele Bachmann is a Contender
Katie Cassidy … the TSA is an utter embarrassment, and someone needs to get fired for this … great GIF, great site … he was hiding in a toilet … here’s a nice photo of Amanda Seyfried … dumbest headline I saw this weekend: “Why Black Women are ‘Obsessed’ with White Men” … gripping, but tough read about a 2009 shootout in which three cops died (features Super Mario jersey) … James Bond got married … this was written about computers and the internet in 1982 … who is the jackass that came up with ‘baby jumping?’ … finish this sentence: If Michele Bachmann wins the Republican nomination …

that’s exactly what stuck in my head when I read that. Never mind the injustice, who didnt’ pack an extra diaper? She’s already “soiled” it before you even get on the plane? That sounds like a long flight for grandma, stewing in her own filth, even before some TSA guy needing to look up in her snooch.

I just hope they didn’t let Yosemite Sam take his pistols on the plane.

June 27th, 2011 at 8:52 AM
Perhaps, but you still need to plan for the chance you may need it from the time you check in until you board the flight.
also, they were intending on letting her fly in that diaper already. The TSA didn’t soil it, she did. I don’t know if adult diapers go back on, but regular diapers do. So if you cared so little about what was in there before the TSA saw, then just put it back on, and let’s keep moving.

If Michele Bachmann/Rick Perry/Herman Cain/Newt Gingrich/Rick Santorum wins the Republican nomination …
Obama laughs his ass off and wins in 2012. He might even pull a Secretariat. Romney and Huntsman (possibly Pawlenty) are the biggest threats to win. But Huntsman sounds too nice and reasonable, so he won’t even get the nomination. Pawlenty is just white bread enough if he can survive and keep money coming in.

The jalapenos aren’t difficult. Half & gut the pepper, stuff it with a sliver of sharp cheddar, pineapple, and either sour cream or cream cheese. I make a dip (my recipe) that I substitute for the cream. Wrap with bacon and smoke at 225-250 for 3 hours.

June 27th, 2011 at 9:37 AM
I guess I showed up just in time for the KC gang-bang this morning.
June 27th, 2011 at 9:39 AM
The ironic thing was that on our earlier connection flight my wife was holding our 5 month old and the baby cried for the last hour of that flight and I felt really guilty because I was dealing with the two year old who was quietly sitting and reading a book. Kids are so unpredictable in those situations.
We are really to blame, though: we put the kids through way too much that day. We drove three hours from Nag’s Head to Raleigh, then we flew to Detroit for a two and a half hour layover (flight was delayed), then we flew to KC, arriving after midnight. That was far too much for our girls to deal with in one day (and frankly, too much for us, too).

Pisses me off knowing I could have been watching this the whole time instead of The Killing.
Dr Tom, anti The Killing backlash has led to the “backlash against the backlash (copyright Cleet),” for a few page view desiring trolls. Here’s an article that says that you’re stupid, I’m stupid, Sepinwall is stupid and so on, and that we all should go watch CSI.
It’s by a troll, but it’s worth reading, since I don’t think this writer even watched the show.

We drove three hours from Nag’s Head to Raleigh
I love the Outer Banks. Especially the fact that they’re very non-commercialized for the most part – only 1 fast food restaurant on the part of the island we stayed. It actually feels like you’re on vacation. The only major drawback, as you mentioned, is the fact that they’re about 3 hours from a major airport.

Butters, my cousin in Milwaukee brought some beer with her this weekend that was delicious. It’s called LaCrosse. It’s brewed with artisian spring water using the original Old Style recipe in the original barrels at the original brewery.
June 27th, 2011 at 9:55 AM
Badger, Rodgers was 11.
Rodgers should be ahead of Johnson and Peterson for sure. Peterson fumbles too much to be in the top 10. I also think Fitzgerald should be ahead of Johnson. They guy almost single-handedly won a Super Bowl, and he still had a good season with no QB.
June 27th, 2011 at 9:55 AM
Speaking of beer… for the cheap, canned, summer variety I discovered Pointe’s Nude Beach this weekend. $7.99 for a 12 pack. No headache. Got me drunk enough to watch a Cubs game featuring Randy Wells from start to finish.
June 27th, 2011 at 9:56 AM
I’m not sure if there is a worse beer that exists. I remember in high school getting a case of grain belt for something like $6 or some shit.
June 27th, 2011 at 9:56 AM
And I remember you not complaining about drinking copious amounts of Grain Belt

Good point. I may watch the first episode of season 2, just so I can see them clear Richmond in minutes 3-5.
Minutes 1-2 will be spent showing us that Belko accidentally loaded the gun with blanks.

June 27th, 2011 at 10:01 AM
no it’s grain belt for sure. then again, it’s been something like 15 years since I have drank it, so maybe my taste buds needed to be refined a bit.
June 27th, 2011 at 10:01 AM
i don’t think you can get pissed how they ended the season, considering breaking bad did a similar ending with cut to black before you find out what happens. is this guy dead, did that guy actually do it…etc.
breaking bad is scary, compelling, awesome, unsettling all the way through all its episodes, and tells a crazy story. Every week you’re left either rooting for a bad guy, or disgusted with yourself.
Plus, in his exit interviews for last season, Vince Gilligan assured critics that the dead guy was, in fact, dead. There was no ambiguity.
The Killing was an awful, awful show that started stalling in episode 2, and used cheap ploys to manufacture tension in stupid places, all the while leaving untold story all over the place. It was insulting the whole time, and never compelling. Most people wanted the ending to be the ending so that they could walk away from it forever, or at least try again with a rebooted (and improved) story. Not more of the same shit.
It was a bad show, start to finish. I think Dr Tom described it as a 13 hour long CSI by about episode 3. He saw what was coming. The only difference is that instead of closure, you got the finger from Veena Sud at the end, and then called an idiot if you said you were disgusted.

ha ha.
And that when Belko laid in his bed and masturbated (while all of the pictures of Rosie were taped to the ceiling), that he was actually totally myopic, and couldn’t see them? He was mostly masturbating to the sister, who he has loved since 5 years ago, and they end up in love, eating gross chinese food together, because they’re gross?
I will miss how much I hate that show.
June 27th, 2011 at 10:05 AM
Still waiting for them to cross the border and give in to selling at Binny’s. I have to ask my friend that works in Wisconsin to bring me some down every time I see him. Then I end up rationing it and not being able to enjoy it.

babies are supposed to be easier, since you can just give them a boob, and that will relieve the ear thing. And they sleep so much. It’s little tiny kids that have so much trouble, since they need such schedule and order.
But neither can you just stay home forever.

it helped me to watch last year’s season finale on fast forward first. I really thought we were done with Tara, and I got to re-think it before the show started. Sadly, we are not.
June 27th, 2011 at 10:19 AM
Better, but it’s still just an average show.
SPOILERS!!!!!!
They continue to bomb on the bad guy storyline. He just killed one of your guys, held hostage and threatened the lives of another handful of them, then stormed into your camp with guns ablazing, yet you let him out of the holding cell because he says he can cook? Fuck that. It’s not like they needed a cook. He could just cook better. What a stupid plot contrivance. Also, they spoiled any cliffhanger ending by immediately showing a 30-second promo for next week that shows exactly what happens after the “cliffhanger.”
Decent scene when they went to get the boy. The black guy (I hate to say that but I don’t knwo the character’s name) going after his son was a very human thing to do, and I appreciated the writers not doing the whole “No! He’s got to wait because it’s in the best interest of the group!” path.
June 27th, 2011 at 10:19 AM

June 27th, 2011 at 10:21 AM
I waited till my son was 3 when he first started flying.
He stays pretty quiet and watches his movies, looks out the window, etc.
I couldn’t imagine taking an infant on a flight, but that was more out of thinking “Geez, travelling with an infant just feels like a lot of work”. I sympathize for those that have had no choice but to travel with an infant. That’s a lot of work for the parents involved, to take and care for an infant and all of their stuff on travel.
June 27th, 2011 at 10:21 AM
Definitely flaws, but I think that was because it was a very short season. Darabont is the main writer now and I’ve got faith he’ll tie up some of that loose writing.
They’ve been shooting like 30 minutes from where I live and I’m trying to get on as a part-time PA. I’ll bring Frank his water if that’s what it takes to get on set.

I quit watching True Blood after season 1 because of her. Tara is annoying in the books but her appearances are minimal. They made her into a main character in the TV show which made me crazy. Why would you take arguably the worst character in the book and give them top billing on the TV show?
