  4. Michael Smith has that Gene Ween bug-eye sometimes. It's amusing, but creepy.

    so ...

    y'all think brian's going to jail? i caught the repeat of the 5th Estate show last night. doesn't look good for ben's dad.
  8. i'm waiting for the inevitable assault test case when someone blows smoke in someone else's face.
  9. when i was at U Waterloo, the local JW's used to go canvasing with retarded children. they'd send them up to the door, wait for you to answer, then jump out of the bushes. now, those sharp dressed mormons, that's a different story ...
  10. that's weird. i dont even know how that's possible.
  11. i dunno, i cant disagree with a lot of what people have posted here but i think its a bit unfair to say flat-out that a performer sucks live. whether you enjoy the show will largely depend on where you are sitting/standing; what sort of mood/condition you are in; your own knowledge and preference for the artist beforehand, etc., all regardless of the performance itself. i would say the white stripes suck if you are seeing them from the back of the amphitheater, but they are one of the best live bands out there if you see them up close. i'd put ron sexsmith and feist into that category too, albeit very different genres. also, ive seen some phish shows that I just didnt enjoy live, but was blown away afterwards, and I attribute that to me not having been in a good mood while at the show. and how you interpret the performance itself is also a large factor: ryan adams is sometimes a cry baby on stage. some people cant get past that. but he's a brilliant cry baby, and others focus on that. and then there's the simple matter of preference. I just dont like some of the artists mentioned here so im not likely to say they gave a great show.
  12. do they sell that boojolay in them tetrapak box thingies?
  13. of course, noone would ever make fun of a canadian accent ...
  14. yes, RnB, thats true. common occurance of words like molecular, ocular, perpendicular, etc. in science and mathematics led to the initial mispronunciation of nuclear as nucular as a matter of convenience based on the phonetic issue that the "cle-ar" is quite easily pronounced as "clar", which when preceded by the hard K in "nuke" obliges an extra syllable, "yoo" in this case because of the common "ular" already in use. eventually, it simply became an acceptable way to say it. language is dynamic. it changes all the time. i hear people in scientific circles say nucular all the time, but they dont emphasize the "yoo", they emphasize the "Nuke". Im not saying it should ever have come to be pronounced this way, Im just saying that it has become an acceptable way of saying it. Besides, Jack Bauer uses it. presumambly, one would not question the pronunciation of "leiutenant" as "lef-tenant" today. it's the same basic phenomenon where the use and pronunciation of a word evolves.
  15. really now, ollie, has that ever been a concern for any of us here?
