I wish TV would stop calling what is a game show a "reality" show.
Who's reality?

Agreed.

When Big Brother started here a few years ago, one of the contestants decided that he wanted out of the house so he tried to yank the hinges off of the main door

My landlords could use that bridge as they're doing some renovations and landscaping

I asked Youtube to play the soundtrack to Conan the Barbarian and it put November Rain by Guns N Roses on instead.

Jogging isn't fun. Jogging in jeans is even worse.

I have a possible explanation for this - Slash was on Conan O'Brien's podcast last week which has clips on YouTube.  I think the YouTube technology got confused and came up with the most recent logic of conan+music=Slash, so Guns N Roses.

Basil Poledouris did it

Izzy Straddlin & the JuJu Hounds is now on Spotify
But it's not on the same page as Izzy Straddlin
And his page on spotify talks more about the rise & fall of Guns & Roses than it does about him.........

From the Wikipedia article on KUNG FU HUSTLE: "In reality, the Buddhist Palm fighting style does not leave palm-shaped craters and holes on impact." You learn something every day!

Bushido tells us that to fear nothing, to want nothing, is freedom.

I get it but I don't agree. In fact that concept sounds more like brain death.

I think there's more affirmation of life in Tolstoy's quip that boredom is a desire for desires. (I wonder if that sounds as snappy in Russian as it does in English?)

It isn't quite as bad as German, but almost everything sounds angry in Russian.

Boy isn't that true?

Do you speak German? To my father's lifelong regret I never learned, and he always wanted me to and always told me it's such an expressive language that once I learned it my mind would open in ways it wouldn't in English. He learned to speak German with an accent more common in eastern Germany than western but try as I might I rarely heard any difference.

Though I may be rusty now there was a time my French wasn't bad but I was always better at speaking it than reading it. (And I was told by a French boy I knew in high school that I sounded more Quebecoise than continental French.)

Mercifully I've forgotten the Latin they forced on us in school.

All in all I'm in a monogamous relationship with my native language.

There you go, everything you never wanted to know about my languages, and never would've asked.

^Makes me wonder what "I'm Bored" by Iggy Pop would sound like if he quoted this Tolstoy character....^


It would probably have sounded too much like Allen Sherman.....
