The Daily Thread: Wednesday

Hey everyone. I have four days remaining in my Gannett-mandated furlough.

See Sunday's entry for more details.

Please feel free to discuss issues as usual in the comment section. I hate this it has come to this, but it has. I blame capitalism. It's the best thing going, no doubt, but its faults cannot be ignored.

Fight the power!

  2. Kate is not gross, but she has been in a steady decline. And she looks a lot better without all the mainland makeup.

    Sawyer is still totally hot, Luv.

  5. Now that we know a little more about Criminal Type, I feel like going back and looking at his posts the last few days. Kind of like watching the Usual Suspects again after finding out who Verbal really was.

  20. SeanZ - there's at least 2 in my house who've never watched Lost (3 if you count Molly dog)

    Luv - ah, yes; the daily autoposts which Jay wrote before leaving for Guam. Yes, clever indeed. But blaming capitalism? Next he'll be blaming the Pope for the Gannett furloughs.

    ReplyDelete
  21. SeanZ, you are not alone.

    Personally, I must condemn Jay G's anti-captialism rant. Perhaps since he's such a socialist he should complete the transformation and start wearing a beret.

    As for me, I will not work against the troops and let the terrorists win.

    ReplyDelete
  22. SeanZ,

    There are apparently two of us who have never watched it.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Michael - thanks for the ).
    Your previous post made absolutely no sense to me without it... of course, since I don't watch Lost, it made no sense with it, either. All the same, it's always good to be parenthetically complete.

  44. ehyou- congratulations!!!

    I've never watched Lost, so please forgive my profound ignorance. But in 11 words or less can someone explain how the cast changes from one season to the next. I mean, aren't they LOST on an island somewhere?

    michael,I must respectfully, disagree. I thought Shannon and her "brother" (can't remember his name) did nothing for the show. Ecko was an interesting character, though.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Dear Leader- is AU vs Vandy on your state-run TV tomorrow night? In the great free country of the USA it is NOT being televised. That's un-American.

    ReplyDelete
  63. They were just starting to develop Shannon's character and then killed her. That was dumb. Boone's time had come.

    I read somewhere that Ecko was supposed to have a big part but wanted off the show. He didn't like Hawaii or something like that.

  73. Anonymous10:03 AM

    I tried LOST, but the purposely jerky camera work was annoying. Additionally, the human interaction was irrational when viewed from the uninvested viewpoint.

    JGT has blamed the unsavory (greedy) banks, shady poilticians and capitolism. I'm guessing that "Western Civilization" is next.

    Capitolism does need a delicate balance of controls to be successful without self imploding due to unchecked greed.

  81. Lost and Damages are very similar shows in how they're set up. Details are crazy important. Not always sequential in presentation. Lots of drama...of course, the only time I watched lost was about 20 minutes of episode 2 from season 1, so this may not be an accurate comment.

    I love FX originals. The only show I don't watch is The Shield, and only because I missed the first season. Still not sure what my favorite show is. Damages is in a tie for fourth with Dirt after Nip/Tuck, the Riches, and Sons of Anarchy in no particular order. Fourth is still pretty well liked, though.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Monica - I love my 4gb sandisk cruzer with u3. Since they now make USB flash drives with 64gb, can they/should they be used in place of ext. hard drive for your computer back up? That's the 64gb question. All you brilliant Hotties out there let me know.

  102. not a fan of using usb flash drives as backup. I've had more than one become corrupted, and know people that have dropped them in parking lots with sensative data on them. They're great for file portability/transfer, but I'd be wary of backing up anything important/confidential on them. External hard drives are getting ridiculously cheap.

    I have WD hard drive that "died" for 2 months. I tried all sorts of CPR on that thing and got no response. Bought a network drive (not WD) and a few weeks later the WD drive (which was still plugged up) miraculously comes back to life. Both have intermittent communcation issues with the PCs. I've not had any such problems with flash drives (yet). My flash drive is more secure than my PC.

    They've really convinced me there's more of a connection between Sylar and the new kid other than the kid supposedly knowing Sylar's dad. Maybe he IS Sylar's dad?!?

  155. Hey Monica, what's Luper saying about our RBs on rivals? The article title intrigues me.

  157. Dr Habotn, I am curious as to who would be on your AU Mt Rushmore. Care to share?

  158. As long as you don't artificially/purposely have 16 children for which you are neither emotionally or financially capable of caring, you're safe.

  162. depressed- tough call, very tough.

    I'd probably have a steel cage match with the final 4 getting the nod.
    Dr. George Petrie
    Mike Donahue
    Ralph Jordan
    Pat Dye
    Tommy Tuberville
    and representing the players:
    Pat Sullivan
    Terry Beasley
    Bo Jackson
    Tracy Rocker

  164. Thanks Monica!!

    Great quote from Luper:

    "Running back is still one of the easiest positions to play, so they won't have any excuses"

  165. I know he left us and went to U of A but we can't forget Harvey Glance as well for Mt Rushmore... If not for the 1980 boycott he would have more gold around his neck...

    I think Tracy and Bo would rule a cage match.. btw

    ReplyDelete
  166. Harvey sat behind me in freshman history. Great guy, at least until '97.

    He can go on UA-T's Rushmore. We don't put traitors on ours.

  167. Looks like jhag now has the featured quote. Congratulations!

  168. Good thing Jay G Tate pre-loaded jhag's quote to pop up today.

  169. Stupid questions here is the B-ball game on TV tonight in the Auburn area?

    Me and the 19 other people who would watch it are interested.

  170. I don't think this one is on TV.

  171. Once again, Will shows up and everyone stops typing. What is it with you, man?!

  173. Will The Blog Killer?

    (I don't think it's his fault. No content = no love.)

    ReplyDelete
  174. Dr Habotn, nice call on Jay pre-loading the quote. He must be doing psychic work during his time off. Also enjoyed your choices for Mt Rushmore. Would not count Dye out of the steel cage match, he was/is one mean, tough SOB. In a good way, of course.

  175. Michael, I think my refusal to shower or change my socks could be to blame.

    Or it might be my crappy, uninspiring comments.

    ReplyDelete
  176. It's probably your lack of an avatar. People don't know what to make of it.

  178. here is a fun game to play: Go to google and write in the search box "(your name) is " and see what it recommends.

    Some examples:

    "Monica is pregnant"

    "Jet is a band"

    "Will is daniel dicriscio"

    "michael is knowledgeable about the changeable nature of the universe"

    "Jay is working" (quite ironic this week)

    Bunches of fun!

    "Cheryl is stunning"...

    but then a couple of results down it said, "Cheryl is diagnosed with small cell lung cancer."

    ReplyDelete
  182. One of mine is "michael is Jesus." But then another is "michael is not Jesus." So... apparently... hmmm..

    And yet another is, "michael is a 13-year-old from palm city florida"

  185. Hey...I just realized something. We're missing a golden opportunity to talk bad about Jay G. while he's not here. Who wants to go first?


    OOH OOH, I DO!

    I've heard that Jay has every Five for Fighting CD ever produced.

  186. So, will puppet hour start on a new page?

    ReplyDelete
  187. I'm very impressed with the divers and sundry topics being discussed while our dear leader is furloughed (no offense, Dear Leader).

    My Mt. Rushmore 4:
    - Vincent Edward Jackson (obvious)
    - Dr. George Petrie (obvious)
    - Patrick Fain Dye (for making Auburn football relevant again in the State of Alabama)
    - tie between John Heisman (total contribution) and Ralph Jordan, Jr. (putting AU football back on the map)

    j-z, I like it... hey Jay G., nice hat.

  189. Mikhail

    Could you be a little more 2001 with your games?

  190. Sen. Jet ... stuck in the ATL airport ...

    Here's my argument ... Ultimately, athletic accomplishments are about players ... that's why I chose the four I chose.

    I love Coach Dye and Coach Jordan, and I have respect for Coach Tubs, but I believe our Mt. Rushmore should be for those who bled on the field of play. Coach Jordan, of that group, qualifies, but he's not in our top 4.

    I reject Harvey "Willis" Glance because of his departure to the dark side.
