I am not allowed to say why, even if I knew why, but I was directed to post these:

Hey, don't ask me, I have no clue.

I was supposed to add this one, for whatever reason, so I was chastised for not making it work. In my defense, I did include it, but the link didn't work, so hopefully this one does or I'll likely be sleeping on the couch...

I'd like to respond to this, but she said this is her thread and I do what she says if I want... later.

Yeah, I censored it because what happens in our bedroom stays there, even if the sounds bleed through to the neighbors.

And, by the way, Moon, the crucifiction wouldn't be forced. I accepted your challenge after all, so I readily volunteered to be put up on a cross for your syntax.

I'm not worried about that now. I'm concerned that Phil is losing his touch. Taking a dig at my mother ain't cool.

I feel like it's Christmas during the Civil War and you and I have put down our guns to join the festivities, only to take up arms again tomorrow in an attempt to kill each other. What I'm saying is: What the fuck are we doing?! We should be writing!

Well, I just finished dinner, that I got to cook all on my own as punishment for not letting those have it who deserve it, so I am going off to write right now. Can't let you get too big a lead on me. Like it matters.

Good night, Wesley, I'll likely kill you in the morning.

You should watch it, even if you hate it and think it is junk (like I do Citizen Kane) it will give you a better idea about how others who are influenced by it.

@Sound:  Honestly, I didn't remember that part until my daughter made me watch it with her a month ago.

@Moon:  Is that actually in your Personal Life Rule Book?  You took the time to make the note?  "I will never watch any of the four movies that Andre the Giant is in."

The one with Arnold and that freaky bitch with the red hair? Or was that Conan the Barbarian? I don't know. I always felt the same about Conan as I did Masters of the Universe. Totally gay.

I can honestly say that I've never watched Masters of the Universe. Well, i did watch the cartoon when I was a little boy, but hey, I was young and dumb. The live-action movie, though, was of no interest to me.

Let me get this straight... Moon... You've NEVER seen the Primcess Bride????

Inconceivable!!!

R.Moon & SP: Be very happy with your bonsai prompt. What Avery just posted was very nearly your prompt. No joke. In the end, though, I just couldn't do it to you guys.

I'm happy with it now. I've got a kick ass story developing.

Strange Photon from Fort Wayne, IN is reading Laurie Anderson lyrics March 29, 2013 - 11:32am

Is there some sort of repository out there that holds a shit load of random vids, from which you guys all select these nonsequitor gems?

I'm sure the vid was meant to be much less entertaining than it really was, but I've connected my laptop to my home theatre system, and am now blasting it through all 7 speakers/subwoofer for the benefit and enjoyment of my neighbors who have been unjustifiably loud all morning. Avery, you've served me well. Now, if I can just have the keys to the repository you and Sound choose from, I'm gonna have the best arsenal for neighborly noise equalizing.

Not to mention, this song kicks so much hairy ass that I can't help but dance incessantly.

Oh wait, Hannibal is on AMC, so I gotta turn off Avery's lovely gift. Nothing can take precedence over Hannibal Lecter, in any of his permutations. Except maybe Superman.

No more dancing, now just stoic hero-worship.

I think it's the odd moaning/groaning thing she does that gives my woman the willies.

I, for one, find her lustful perspective on life a welcome personality trait.

Yep, that's the groaning she hates so much. I find it kind of endearing, if not hilarious.

If i had to pick an absolute favorite character, I think it would either be Louise's bunny ears or Koochy Kopy(sp) - I love that glow-worming mother fucker.

Aw, c'mon, Moon Pie, we can't all be undying fans of Masters of the Universe and Four Non-Blondes. I mean that right there is just too much coolness for one human being to have.

So, Moonie... what would you hail as the best way to spend a half-hour of time in front of a tv, if you won't be watching Bob's Burgers?

Bekanator's picture

Rain: Bob's Burgers is amazing. My husband and I recently got into it. Just watch from the beginning and you'll learn to appreciate a true gem of Sunday night. It's perfect. And not to mention, it's just nice being able to watch an animated Fox show that doesn't have anything to do with Seth MacFarlane.

Also, FYI, Photon, that episode where Gene finds the $14,000 toilet in the woods...the toilet was played by Jon Hamm.
