I shake my head every time I hear someone in Hollywood gushing about how "real" Jennifer Lawrence is. Nothing like openly admitting your entire industry is genuinely surprised the world isn't populated by shallow self involved prick douchebags.
It's a retard echo chamber. I didn't know the Oscars were on last night until this afternoon. At least Daniel Day Lewis and Christoph Waltz won. Easily the two best actors working today. And dear god is this chick on the Bachelor annoying. No wonder her parents gave her up for adoption.
Dayton Cl what the fuck: What the fuck is even a male review group? This is great too: Pope Application
Seth McFarlane has done exactly one thing that has made me laugh, ever: Ted. Great movie. Last night? Predictable. As his humor inevitably always is. I know, I know, 'he's edgy.' No, he's not. Jesus, even Lincoln saw that joke coming from a mile away, and he's been dead for 150 years. What these hosts seem to fail to realize is no matter how 'fake' and 'plastic' the people at the Oscars may be, it is a FUCKING AWARDS SHOW FOR PEOPLE PLAYING FAKE FUCKING PARTS! Pointing this out, and making fun of it isn't edgy. (Same criticism to Chevy Chase (whom I love) for saying 'Hello Hollywood Phonies.' Daniel Day Lewis: great actor, just strikes me as a bit super intense, as in having dinner with him would make me very nervous. And I'm not buying the "Jennifer Lawrence, Super Sweet, Down to Earth and Innocent" schtick (I'd put 'TM' here, but I think Taylor Swift currently owns it). Just a gut feeling.
I think the Oscars is the least ridiculous and usually best judged awards ceremonies. The Grammys are a wretched parody of its former self, and the American Music Awards are a wonderful homage to the flavour-of-the-moments from this year.
Don't worry everyone, world peace is within our grasp. Dennis Rodman is on a diplomatic basketball mission to North Korea. Anybody else see a Space Jam sequel on the horizon?
Well, it sounds like at least he won't be reproducing. Spoiler Don't worry, you'll get it eventually.
Anyone here do business development or travel a lot for work? I just got a tentative job offer and I wouldn't mind bashing around some of the pros and cons with someone impartial.
Holy hell, this board has been dead for the last like 8-9 days. What the hell is everyone doing? Do we just need some new threads or something? These last few threads haven't broken 5 pages in 8-9 days. Do we need another mod? I'm not trashing our current ones, people have lives, but I haven't seen anyone besides Nom and DCC, they can't do it all themselves.
Bam! I just got home from dominating my practical exam. Nada for the rest of the day. Part of me wants to start drinking now...I think I just barely have the self control to wait 'til I work out. Barrrrreeeeely, yo.
Not trying to be a dick, these are just facts. The entire first page has zero spam. All the suggestions on the first page are from regulars. 1/3 down to the 2nd the spam starts, then it stops completely about 1/2 down the 4th page, and going back to the 15th page, there isn't one more piece of spam. (Took me 30 second to see this.) I just think the current active mods need some help, that's all. Crown, why aren't you a mod? You're pretty active and a vet "from the old board!" Also you're Canadian, which also seems to get points around these parts.
downanddirty and audreymonroe are filthy spambots. Don't get me started on the Crown Royal username. Always trying to advertise his cheap Gucci and low price sneakers.
Re: Re: Is It Friday? Drink Posting Meeting Place. That and I'll log on and see a lot of new members but very few of them post. It would help to get some posts from the noobs.
Re: Re: Is It Friday? Drink Posting Meeting Place. Yep, that's what I think also. Some fresh blood would be great as long as they fell in line. I think some of the vets should get promotions. A whole lot of assholes on this board (especially me) for only two mods to have to keep in line. Think we should lessen the burden. I mean, Nom already has enough weight on his shoulders with his big head and heavy dreads. Well, let's be honest, I really just want this thread posted. <a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.theidiotboard.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=18573" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">viewtopic.php?f=6&t=18573</a> Downndirty, can I get some backup here it's your suggestion. Tell me who doesn't want this thread posted?
Re: Re: Is It Friday? Drink Posting Meeting Place. I could be wrong, but I think the board is set up so that we can't see the spam, only the Mods can. I've heard them say that they see thousands of pages of spam with suggestions from regular members sprinkled in. Maybe it would be helpful for us to PM links to suggested threads we think would be good, so they can click the link in their PM and get there without sifting through spam (then again, they may not want to sift through 60 PMs with the subject "post this thread already, dicks!"). The fact that a lot of the (previously) more active Mods have sort of vanished, including Chater and Nett, makes it tough for the few remaining mods to really do anything about the lack of activity or the spambots. They've got better things to do, they're busy, and real life will always take precedence over a message board.. New mods might not be a bad idea. Either way, this happens to virtually every message board. A group of regulars that posts all the time and makes it hard and/or intimidating for new people to enter into the fray, so a lot of newbies wouldn't post. Not much you can do about that, really, either.
My washer and dryer in Mississippi have returned! Sort of. Apparently I was mistaken when I reported them stolen, they were "Borrowed." To prevent misunderstandings like this from happening again, I present to you a scenerio that Mississippi law enforcement fully endorces as a case of borrowing...ie...they won't file charges: Go to someone's house, that you know is not at home, without informing them. Kick in the front door. Rummage through all the person's personal property and leave it strewn about, dumping out the contents of every box and drawer. Remove what you want to "Borrow." When you are done with the item, have your adult childern deliver it (In your ex husband's pick up) to a neighboring house when no one is home there (Just leave it in the yard, that's fine). Don't bother to tell the occupents of that house why there is a washer and dryer in their yard. Let them figure that out for themselves. Silly me. I thought that was breaking and entering, vandalism, grand theft, transporting and recieving stolen goods, and illegal dumping. Still no word on any of my other shit that she "Borrowed."
It's true, we don't see most of the spam. I guess there are thousands of them so it's hard to find the far and few actual posts we throw into the mix. We really need some tech-savvy people to sort out that dreck, it HAS dragged this place through the mud lately and the mods are stuck dealing with the bot shit instead of the board. If it's any other reason, I'm in the dark about it. We don't get new people because new people can't join until they sort out the bot problem, in order to stop new ones from spamming. I've got a couple of lurkers to pipe up on the drunk thread, here is the best place to yell at them LURKERS, START TALKING YOU ASSHOLES. YOU HAVE MINDS, AND YOU HAVE TASTE OR YOU WOULD BE READING REDDIT INSTEAD OF US. WE'RE DYING HERE!!!! ...I am out of ideas. At least the members who still post here keep it funny and entertaining.
