Desipio Message Board

Lenny gave me great advice one time.  He said I should never use Skoal and take up Kodiak.  It was great advice.  Of course, I was 7 when he told me.

Who knew there were so many reasonably attractive*** female politicians?

*** Note: this adjective can be used to describe almost all the ladies on this list.

Nice representation from Israel.  Reason enough to know the Islamics are on the wrong end.

(GIANT PICTURES)

Really?  A blonde Jew?

I can't quite make out their facial features, Chuck.

She's got a bit of Janet Jones-Gretzky in her, circa American Anthem.

And check the eye browns.  Something tells me the head boobs don't match the carpet.

Out 3-5 days.

The average height of the starting IF today was 5'8".

There have been too many moments in the past few weeks that have crossed the line between uncomfortably funny and just uncomfortable.

The only problem I have w/ Chuck is that the episodes are mostly the same.  Chuck goes on a mission, flashes, gets caught up in spy games he shouldn't be in, saves the day humorously, insert wacky Buy More employees 3 times, 2 scenes w/ Ellie and Awesome...   That's 80% of the episodes.

It's still fun to watch, but I can see whay people are turning it off.  It's the same reason I gave up on My Name is Earl.

It's starting to stray a tad from that formula but it works for me. My Name Is Earl got awful when he went to jail. It was tolerable until then. I'd argue if they would have stayed with the formula, I might have kept watching.

It's certainly a lot better than it was for the first 6 or 7 episodes of the series, when they didn't really have a season-long arc to follow, or at least one that went through a few episodes.  The problem is until they introduce new characters who know Chuck's secret (like his dad), the spy plots can really only include him, Sarah (needs more Yvonne), Casey, and whatever guests they have that week.  I think Morgan or Awesome or somebody else needs to know what's going on and get involved in the spy plots.  Also, they save the last 5 minutes of every episode to show Chuck once again confessing or renouncing his love for Sarah.  It all is a little formulaic, but most of the cast is entertaining to watch, so I don't really have a problem with it.

I wonder if there will ever be a good TV show you don't ruin.

Weebs could ruin a show called "Naked Chicks And Shit Blowing Up".

AKA  Bruckheimer and Bay movie.

So do you guys hate Mike Fontenot or just think he kinda sucks? I dig him. In a very gay way.

I've been ghey for Fontenot for awhile.  He's like Theriot only good.

It still strikes me as very cool that the Cubs got him for Sosa.

Which means they REALLY got him for Jorge/George Bell.

How lazy is this - I want to see it, but you didn't make it a hyperlink. So I'm not fucking going.

That's pretty lazy.

It's even lazier than responding to this post and not fixing the issue.

Is it the DTs?

Don't mistake "rum fits" for delirium tremens.

I'm familiar with the Rum Fits, but I haven't heard any delerium tremens.  Their stuff any good?

Pen, did you ever decide on a camera?  At some point, I think we're going to get one, and I love solicited advice.

I did indeed.

We ended up getting the Canon HF10.

I don't know why Amazon is listing it for $999, you can get it elsewhere for like half the price.

The good: It's very, very easy to use, compact (about the size of a can of soda/pop/Coke).

The one "bad" thing so far is that the files are really big. I took a 2 minute video of my daughter that I wanted to send to the grandparents. When I went to view the file on my computer (transferring from the camera is really easy on a PC running Vista or XP) the file was 150 MBs, shot in SP (which is the 2nd lowest of 4 quality options, though still HD).

The software that came with the camera let me convert it down to an MPEG but it was still about 16 MBs, too big to email.

So basically, if you want to share any videos more than about 30 seconds, you're going to need to upload them to youtube, which is fine, just not what I originally anticipated...though at least it spares me the hassle of having to explain to the over 60 crowd how to open Quicktime files.

Blu-Ray burner is the way to go with the HF-10.  Also takes great stills.  Love the video but the shake stabilization software is pretty poor.  I'm always looking for a place to brace my elbow so as to not give everyone motion sickness when we watch it.

And no, I don't have early onset Parkinsons.

That's what your gut is for.

Get Dropbox (http://www.getdropbox.com/pricing).  2GB of storage to share.  Essentially you just drop the file in and anyone you want can log in and watch it or download it.  It's pretty easy to use, and if they can operate extracting the file from an email, they should be able to figure this out.
