I suspect that people with whom "Anchovies" resonated would also like this video, made by a friend of mine for a contest sponsored by the US Chamber of Commerce, on the topic of free enterprise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OehpD3E_Bcg They're counting the "winners" by view cou...

So I was heating frozen pierogis on ye olde George Foreman grill just now, and my brain was all "I'm pretty sure you're supposed to boil them" and I was all "shut up shut up I'm too hungry to boil water."

I was amused for a different reason, to wit: but for the "Kathleen and Graham pose with a giant robot" shot, these vacation photos were indistinguishable from my in-laws' vacation photos. Only the in-laws have more of them. Many, many more. Like that one monkey photo? More like "Here'...

This just in, google searches have reached an all time high for the word "portmanteau". We have reason to believe it is caused by a recent Loading ready run video, also know as "loarnun". I find this genuinely amusing: http://www.google.com/trends?q=portmanteau I especially like...

I read the title as "Buttstallion" many, many times.

Please, in the name of all that's holy, never make a video called "Buttstallion."

Thank you.

I have just become aware of Clarke and Dawe. Might be a little dry and low-key for this crowd, but just in case...

At first I was all, this is going to be just like Grandma's pork-kraut pinwheel! And then I was all...no. No, it sure isn't. Because Grandma wasn't a man.

This reminds me of Canadian Ice Slideball Wrestling.

Do I win a nickel for the most obscure yet accurate and relevant reference in the forum?

This couldn't possibly start at a better date or time for my household, as that's when the Christmas Baking Marathon of Doom formally begins. Last year, the Desert Bus feed was the official soundtrack of the CBMD, to the extent that we, lrr n00bs that we were, ended up playing old lrrcasts while bak...

I had a lrr dream. You all lived together in a ginormous house, and while traveling for work I thought it would be fun-ish to drop by and hang out. James was feverishly working to recreate an internally illuminated cube of whiskey with which someone had tricked him, so that he could trick others. Ev...

I'm not normally a nitpicker, and I'm not normally inclined to add to the jokes at Matt's expense, but at least down here in the US Army, the tie he's wearing is for women. Now I have to go watch the video again, since I spent the entire first viewing trying to decide if he and Morgan were supposed ...

Yeah, I considered demoting him when I cut-n-pasted it, but I couldn't be bothered. So he remains all shouty.

Alex--

I love my job in theory. Like when I'm not there, and I think about it in the abstract, it's pretty flippin' sweet. But when I'm actually AT work, I am an angry ball of hate and loathing. Alex, you got to let me know, should I stay or should I go?

Given that geocaching is N cooler than using a metal detector, what is the value of N? Hint: I assert it is positive, but quite small. Also, given that there are 98 geocaches in downtown Victoria, what is the likelihood that the creepy guy staring at you is just waiting for you to move away from the...

What if you name yourself after a golfer? Or just name yourself A. Golpher?

For multiple reasons, in fact.

I sometimes wonder if I should spell it for them phonetically, but then I realize the IPA for Nanaimo is Nanaimo.

I am from South Canada, AKA the US. I have been making Nanaimo Bars periodically since spending a summer at St. Michael's University School in scenic Victoria many years ago, and I was wondering, can anyone suggest a way to convince my friends and relations that Nanaimo has a correct pronunciation, ...

I'm totally hooked on wiki.answers.com, where normal idiots ask normal idiotic questions (or obviously copy their homework into the search field), to be answered by slightly less idiotic people. Seconds ago, someone asked this... http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_some_Historical_landmarks_in_Britis...

I totally want that transparent toaster, and froogle is failing me.

I should be going back to work after coming home for lunch. And somewhere in there I should be doing/have done homework for tonight's class.

I know: go back to work, and do homework instead of workwork. Problem solved.

Ironically I arrived at this forum moments after filling out a mandated course evaluation for courses I haven't finished yet. All of my complaints are about the other students. In my online class (entirely through WebCT, thankyouverymuch), about a third of them have decided always to submit longer e...

Yeah, I totally went PA->DBFH->LRR, and I'm staying. I made the husband watch many, many videos this past weekend, and he hasn't laughed that hard since the Pigeon Fez Cam was unplugged. Uh...it's kind of hard to tell, but that's a compliment. No, seriously. He really laughed at Pigeon Fez Cam. Appa...
