Forgotten comments from other Episodes:
Episode 92
Stennie – I love Cadbury eggs!! Cool thing about my mom – she made us homemade Cadbury eggs this Easter!
We bought the Simpsons Movie – I really like it. Now I have always watched the Simpsons since way back in the day – and I thought it was pretty much what I expected.
Episode 93
Bet – Good luck with the little old lady – hopefully she will be the right mix of quiet and friendly wave!
Cat hair balls – my cat has started doing this every other day top of the stairs! Thank God my cat doesn’t eat its puke. I’m still grossed out just by typing this!
I loved your “this just in” move from fuck off to you rule – talk about live action!!!
Episode 94
I like the correlation of power and the size of your hat. I am actually teaching a Data Mining class that discuss on Monday about correlation and causality. How fun! Here’s a link one of my students sent me about Britany Spears & correlation: http://opinion.latimes.com/opinionla/2008/03/trendrr-fun-wit.html
Michelle hope you are feeling OK 🙁 I don’t remember much about the first day after I got mine out!
Stennie – I liked Waitress, too – I’d like to hear Bet’s take also. I thought Andy Griffith was really great!! At bit unexpected to hear some of those things come out of his little ole Andy Taylor mouth!!
Happy Two Years!!! I can’t believe it’s been so long. I have to say, it just makes me so happy to feel like I get to hang and chat with you guys. Sniff**Sniff – I love you guys!!
I feel all weird as I think I’ve seen almost all the movies reviewed this week. When was the last time that happened?
Stennie—I’m with you on Waitress. Cheap-ass ending. However, Jeremy Sisto does great at playing creeps and cretins. I just looked him up—he’s on Law and Order now? I guess everyone must do a stint on L&O;. I expect it will be my turn soon. Question—does anyone watch L&O;who isn’t either unemployed, home sick, incarcerated, a stay-at-home mom, or an insomniac? I’ve been catching a lot of these lately, but they only seem to appeal when all of my brain cells have been shut down or are extremely fatigued.
Thank you Kellie! I’m a pain weenie, but I’m doing ok.
Happy anniversary, happy anniversary, happy anniversary, HAPpy Anniver-sar-y!
I started the procedure with the HB playing to me, but right around the time Bet started making doggie retching sounds, I started to have doubts whether the HB would be appropriate listening for having a tooth sawed out of my jaw. When the saw actually came on, it drowned out you both, and thus ended the debate.
Life of Brian is the PERFECT movie to see on Easter, and I don’t know why I never thought of it.
I saw Sunshine State, and didn’t like it. One bit.
You guys totally need more comments on this week’s podcast. Totally
The Tony Awards Fact or Crap completely got me – surprise, surprise. It didn’t surprise me though. Since you already know everything about everything that’s ever been on TeeVee ever, I figured you needed a challenge.
Here’s a topic for you: Earth Day Lights Out – worthwhile or stupid advertising gimmick for Leo Burnett and their clients? Did either of you participate?
I sat in the dark, laptop powered on, watching a movie. I wonder if that counts? The laptop was on battery power…
I used to use TurboTax until a few years ago when the spyware started showing up in their installations. Since then I’ve been using H&R;Block’s TaxCut and haven’t looked back. Hell, you can probably go to taxact.com and do it all for free. I doubt it would have all the cool help, though.
