That's an argument for design, not intelligent design. I can't remember the philosopher, but there was a really good essay applying the pocketwatch argument to a huge three mast ship. It bears all the "marks of design," but if you go to see where it was built, you'll find a bunch of illiterate drunks.
So I was watching a season 1 episode of Frasier, and I realised a sad fact. I am going to end up looking just like Kelsey Grammer in 13 years. Another random thought: Why the hell did it take until about 2002 for the wheeled suitcase as we know it to be invented? Up until then the highlight of wheeled luggage technology was the standard briefcase like suitcase with 4 mini casters on it, the ones that if you walked above 1.5 mph with it,it would tip over.
Have you ever felt so hungover it feels like your brain is much too large to fit in your skull and all you want to do is alternate between puking and bitching about how bad you feel? I do! I'm not, actually, puking but I can't help but think it would make me feel better than I do right now. But Lookey what I got! That is a drum skin signed by the whole band (original lineup) The Reverend Horton Heat! Fuck yeah! The hangover seems almost worth it.... almost. Edit: I know nothing about drums. Does anybody know what the numbers around the edge mean? If I had to guess, I would say that they line up with the tuning keys, but I really have no idea.

If I were to venture a guess, that would be the order in which they use to tune the drum. 1 then 2, 3 then 4, ect. Or it could be a trigger set up, but I think it's for tuning. I don't know why they'd write it on the head because that's one of the first things you learn as a drummer. The only reason I can see it being written down is that their drummer is super anal or their roadies are semi retarded.
Tuning is the only thing that I could think of that it would be for but, like I said, I know fuck all about drums.
I watched all 4 episodes of 'Girls' yesterday. While I thoroughly enjoy the show, I was thrown for a loop when I saw that the goofiest-looking member of The Lonely Island was cast as the only formidable male character on the show. According to Google, Jorma Taccone is only 5'8". And he definitely looks nothing like the Ryan Reynolds and Michael Fassbenders that you ladies are always giggling about on here. Don't get me wrong, I think he's a great guy, but that scene with him and Marnie outside of the art gallery took a lot of suspension of disbelief on my part. Can one of you girls offer your perspective on that? I'm pretty sure there's some unwritten rule that a guy isn't allowed to talk like that to a woman who's taller than him.
I didn't find his character sexy; I found the situation and dialogue sexy. It was exactly the kind of thing (the character) Marnie needed to hear, and his timing was impeccable. I guess it's sort of like when you see the Chihuahua own a Mastiff at the dog park. Attitude, not altitude.
NSFW Spoiler NSFW to be on the safe side. She is 41 years old and Charlie Sheen is dumber than we even thought. In other news, this is my last week of work. Hoo-ray for being truly incapable of fuck-giving for the next five days.
I watched the pilot. My thoughts were "Wow, this is just like 'Sex and the City' except I don't find any of the women attractive in any way, shape or form, and I'm hoping Dexter comes along and puts them all out of our misery before episode two." Since you say there are four episodes, I'm assuming my desire went unfulfilled. My other thought was 'whomever wrote this doesn't appear to like women at all.' Yes, I know, the main character is the writer, but this show is awful. A. W. F. U. L. It will run for 8 seasons.
