Very wise, grasshopper.

Glad she's Ok. That look wicked.

Screamin' Sugar Lee reporting in. Oh, and I'm pretty sure Gene was just being an intentional ass and having fun playing her. Where's your sense of humor? Like her, you all seme to be taking him too seriously. Her defensiveness spoiled the interview as much as did his offensiveness. In many ways, it became about her, and she's supposed to be bright enough (and is certainly experienced enough as interviewer) not to let that happen. So he's a horny, rich capitalist pig and makes no bones about it. Get over it. He's kind of like Ted Nugent except that he's acting all wacko about his loin as opposed to his guns, but it was political incorrectness just for the sake of the chain yanking effects... and she totally fell for it. He's expressing what many men would love to but simply don't have the nerve to because it has been coached out of them by society in their desire to maintain a sense of decorum to fit in and be respected. He's rich enough that he really doesn't have to care what anyone thinks of him. That he also comes across as an empty headed loveless type is likewise no big surprise. That's probably two parts schtick and one part truth. Seriously, is he just supposed to follow her lead and give her a nicey nicey interview, or is he supposed to defend his own beliefs and views on life no matter how repugnant they might sound to others?

When I said. "Exactly" what I was really trying to say was this:

Why didn't I think of that!?!? Seriously. Actually, I didn't expect it to last more than a minute or so. That same ice cream truck drives down my street to the cul-de-sac and back almost every single afternoon. Must be some ice cream junkie living on my block, or else the ice cream guy just likes burning gas. So it was really strange. I kept figuring that it would end any minute...

Exactly.

Just in case anybody wants to play tonight:

The people next door were having some kind of party for kids, apparently. An ice cream truck showed up and parked on the road right in front of my house. Then for about 30 minutes, all I heard was, "Da da - da da da, da da - da da dum, Da da, da da dada, da dada - da dum." Over and over and over again...

I thought that Monster put an end to that argument.

You should have whipped it out. They would have said, "Welcome Mr. Hiolmes... but I thought you were dead!?!?" No, wait. I'm confusing you with Steve again.

Ya, baby! You make laugh, Al. Let's fry that fucker! Perhaps what I should have said is that it was a shame that he used such poor judgment on such an important matter, thereby allowing himself to become complicit in an absolutely terrible thing, and all for the sake of upholding reputations (his, the program's, the university's); that by doing so, he effectively tarnished his own reputation as well as that of the program and the university (completely opposite of the desired effects); that even though he wasn't the perpetrator, this incident will unfortunately be a big part of what he'll be rightfully remembered for by far too many people (most especially by the young victims and their families who deserved better from him); and that, even with this lapse of good judgment and the pridefulness that allowed it to occur, he still led an admirable life and accomplished many great things that he ought to be remembered for as well. My initial post was meant to be a shorthand version of this dissertation; not a denial of his inaction, but simply an acknowledgment that seems to get lost at times, that he wasn't the guy who did these terrible things.

Ok, so don't RIP Joe Paterno. Burn in hell.

RIP Joe Paterno. It's a shame that your legacy will forever be tainted by the crimes of another human being.

This might be a repost. Will have to check with Steve to be sure.

That's what the HD700's look like to me, Peter. Like something I wouldn't want to own regardless of how good they sounded, at least not at that price point. Ok, not completely regardless. If they were SR-009 good sounding, then I'd bite at $1k, despite their cheesy looks.

Have a great one, Mike!

I'm trying to figure out how he threw all of those cups in the air at the same time and still managed to capture the image before they hit the ground. He's not bad at all...

Just saying... it can get kind of annoying in here, not to mention boring, if we want to make it about politics.

Insert your favorite Obama cartoon here: https://www.google.com/search?q=obama+cartoon&hl=en&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=WVMWT7SAFMKItweL_syHAw&ved=0CEoQsAQ&biw=1440&bih=778

Great work, Nate. Soon it will be smeared with lipstick and nail polish, but you'll forgive her.

Best drifting video I've seen in a long, long time. The guys on the bikes are just insanely good.
