Priceless, thanks for making my Friday morning!
You should've put this up on Scoop or something, I swear it would've been picked up by somone...

I heard 'Rec' was supposed to be the 'scariest movie ever made'...but then when I watched it, it took me straight to Letdown City. Yaaaawn...
Scariest story I've ever read was a Stephen King short story about a guy talking to his therapist about how the Boogie Man had stolen his family...and then his therapist turns out to be the Boogie Man. BOOM! Never even saw it coming...

Dang, just pipped by RB...

The Daily Show had a funny piece on Daschle the other night...but framed a good question; if the tax on the driver/car was $140K, how much was actually spent...was he being driven around in a Space Shuttle/KITT hybrid or something?

Absolutely classic, thanks David...more please!

In the same vein as 'The Grenade', I think the '10 Pin Bowling' celebration would be good on the cricket field...

Did anyone see The Dropkick Murphys? I've looked for a mention of them in every BDO I've come across...nothing, nada.

I read the first paragraph of Ralston's column in the paper, and it was quickly passed over with the usual 'Whaaa? Pfffft...' that seems to greet most of his op-eds...
It's a shame, really, because sometimes he does have genuinely insightful/thoughtful pieces, but most of the time (especially lately) his various media outpourings strike me as being rushed 5th form-level essays scribbled down at the end of an exam.

I don't really care what someone two seats down/standing behind me/propping up the bar is doing...when I go to a gig, I'm there with my mates, to see a band play music that I like. If you wanna pay to stand there texting your mates who were too lame to come to the show...shaaaame!
It takes a little more than "irritating electronic noises and a damn bright light source at the edge of you peripheral vision" to distract me on most occasions...in fact it usually involves the next drink being handed to me and/or boobs...preferably both.

I don't normally take my cellphone to shows, but can't say it bothers me at all either...it's not all that intrusive, so it's interesting you even noticed it...maybe the show wasn't that captivating?
