The What’s What, Volume 1o3

My sister is friends with the girl who plays Ginny Weasley in Harry Potter.  Bonnie Wright. She met her at a dinner party for an acquaintance they both knew. She’s nice, but IMO, too nice to tap.  -wariO’s

Yeah, she wouldn’t have stood a chance at those charms of yours. It’s a good thing you respect the kindness of someone you’ve never met enough to not make her want to have sex with you.  Is your sister friends with her, or did she just meet her at a dinner party for an acquaintance they both knew? Because there’s a pretty big difference.  It  sounds like your sister told you that she didn’t make an ass of herself in front of a famous person, like she would have seen the conversation as anything else but her impressing a celebrity.  Do you have even the SLIGHTEST idea of how many people attempt to be friends with a famous person on any given day?

Ian Huntley, who murdered two girls eight years ago, is sueing the prison service for £100,000 after he got slashed in the throat by another prisoner. Do you think this is right? The guy is in jail, what is he going to do with a hundred grand? -Ham-Tam

Well, his family could probably use the money. I don’t believe prisons get the right to be ThunderDome.  I’m not going to lose any sleep if he doesn’t win his case.

so this guys owes me a few grand… this morning he drops by with a “deal“.  He wants to give me two “houses” instead of paying me back. This guy owns a butt load of trailer houses and is trying to give me two of them. There are currently people living in them and paying $450 a month. He claims they have lived there for a long while and never missed a payment. on one side it would be steady income.. but do I want to get into property with this economy? Sure they are trailers but to be honest I have seen much worse…  -rawksawlid1

I don’t like the deal.  He might know things about the property that you don’t.  You might have to invest in fixing it, back taxes, or the people might be moving out.  Who knows the arrangements he has with these people?  Tell him you would feel more comfortable if he used the rental property income to pay you back. Draft up a payment schedule with prime rate interest to be nice. Get a notary. Wipe hands of this guy.

Breaking Bad VS Dexter VS Lost – MisterSerious

Dexter isn’t as good as everyone thinks it is. Lots of questionable dialogue and the drama is even a little too much. Lost is a joke.  Breaking Bad by ten lengths.

Can people on “Lets Make A Deal” actually TAKE the zonk if they get it?  Sometimes they look really cool… I wouldn’t mind taking a motorcycle with triangular wheels… -Corks

Once I saw a guy win a pineapple cart or something, and he took like 5 pineapples back to his seat.  I bet he got out of there with them.

how do you start smoking when you know it’s bad for you..? to look cool, huh? enjoy your cancer, loser -Adsimbenefits

Why eat butter when you know it’s bad for you?  Why do you spend all day in the sun when you know its bad for you?  Why do you play sports, when you know all the health risks associated?  Why do you get a puppy companion when you know you’ll have to bury him someday?  Why do non-smokers think they are avoiding death by whining about it?

Of all the religions in the world, only 1 has it right.  The Amish. You have NEVER heard of radical Amish terrorists, have you? Nope. The world would be a better place if everyone was Amish. This is indisputable.  -MGSisLife

I refuse to argue.  Wonderful peoples.  One of the greatest restaurants I have ever been in my life was an Amish restaurant.  Everything from scratch, big giant plates of three kinds of meat served family style with like 12 different sides and every fresh vegetable you could think of. And the desserts, Jesus, the desserts. Pies from scratch still hot from the oven. Fresh ice cream. Was like $9 for me to eat everything I wanted.

Did you see Inception?   -MoeMunney66

I did, and I was a little distracted by something.  Cillian Murphy wears a burlap sack on his head in all 3 of Nolans epic movies, Batman Begins – He’s Scarecrow, kind of his thing.  Dark Knight – Batman de-burlap sacks him during the robbery attempt in the beginning.  Inception – As a kidnapped energy concern mogul, he’s wearing a burlap sack in the back of the white van for a healthy percentage of the movie.  After I noticed this, I spent the rest of the movie analyzing this fact, and I think its obvious the conclusion we can come out with. Apparently, Cillian Murphy has the ability to make some sort of magical supernoise of which he needs to contort his face in awkward ways to make, but the result of this supernoise convinces you that what you are doing is awesome and you need to tell your friends and implants a yearning for it to continue. I am currently running tests to determine if burlap has some sort of amplification properties science might not be aware of.

I understand your mind is blown here. Please, try to settle down. Let’s not let the media know until I’ve concluded with my experiments and can get a concrete case here. But, since the the blog is about to get a lot more popular, I’ll need to deputize some people to handle press events. Thanks for your patience and effort, readers. We’ve finally done it.

What do you think about that Fox News guy buying  gay bar next to the “Ground Zero Mosque”? –DUN-FIP

A conservative owning a gay bar out spite hardly sounds like the greatest business model.  But, it sure is confusing the hell out of both conservatives and liberals, so that’s kind of funny.

Chocolate Milk in Cereal, Yay or Nay -IllyMays

I did it once with regular rice crispies because I didn’t have any sugar.  It was great. Ill vote Yay, but only for some cereals.

You’re a gamer/nerd.  Interested in Scott Pilgrim? -pepsiizawsum

I’m also 33.   So, no.  I’ll wait the 16 months and turn the channel to something else 12 minutes into it when its free on HBO.

The What’s What, Volume 85

You got a new phone?  What kind, whos your provider?  Any good? -Navybound88

Sprint’s HTC Hero.  Totally boss.  It does tend to lag occasionally, but nothing a reboot doesnt fix. It takes forever to boot up, thats really my main issue.  Which likely won’t matter if a firmware update fixes the lagging issues.    I was really worried about the touch keyboard, I have always have a physical one.  But, after a calibration and a few minutes it totally picks up what I’m going for.  The Android Applications are awesome.  I do have some disappointment in the Google Calendar function, but that’s on Google, and likely will be fixed with a couple applications over time.  I am remarkably happy with it, overall.

Mark McGwire admitted using steroids when he broke baseball’s single-season home run record in 1998. Your thoughts? -Bronzemonkey

He’s going to follow-up with a press conference that the sun is hot, tomorrow.  Seriously, though, his admittance is still full of lies.  How he didn’t take them for performance is just one.  Because everyone injects themselves with something every day because it does nothing, right?  He’s an ass thats still lying.  The worst part is, none of this was illegal, so I continue to blame the MLB Administration for the whole fiasco.

Do you flash your lights to warn oncoming traffic of cops? And how many people do you think are aware of this signal? -zappattammann

Yeah, I do it.  Not sure how many people think I’m trying to tell them to turn their lights on.  One time it happened to us in Ireland, and we slowed down to avoid foreign law and it turns out a biker got hit by car and was lying in the middle of the road around a sharp corner. We would have ran the bastard over again if no one had been coming our way. Apparently, thats the way they do it over there. Flashing lights means shit got real up ahead.

Sarah Palin is joining Fox News.  She’ll fit right in. -HarvardBroad

So, she quit her job as Governor to pimp her book and get a TV show?  Apparently, the only thing she’s going rogue on is responsibility.

I just really wasn’t in the mood for being in the office but then my boss requested a doctor’s note but I wasn’t sick so getting one wouldn’t have been possible.   So I just printed some stuff on a piece of paper like “patient number 0444” and “symptoms” on a piece of a paper, cut it so it looked like a small note and not a full sheet of paper and then I told my friend to fill in the blanks with his handwriting and then he signed it at the bottom. My boss totally bought it.  Owned. -MrGoodmanBar

You could have saved yourself the anxiety and just gone to a doctor.  Every time I have asked a doctor for a legitimate or illegitimate doctors note, they have asked me what I wanted it to say.   Seems like a waste of time for everyone involved to request one.

Seriously, every other day on the news I hear about group X being disapointed because Obama did not legalize gay marriage (gays), did not end racism (minorities), did not legalize marijuana (pot advocates), did not end both wars right away (bleeding hearts – just kidding, I’m against both wars), did not do more against global warming (tree huggers – again, kidding), etc. No wonder so many are disapointed, its like they expected him to be a messiah on all of these issues after 1 year in office. It`s not Obama that is the problem, its the political system that he is part of that makes passing any kind of significant legislation take years. Anyway, I`ll fully judge his presidency when its over, not after less than a year. -the_wire44

While true, he did kind of sell himself on hope and change, so you can’t really blame voters  for choosing to support him.  Not that you are totally the victim when your chosen political candidate turns out to be just another corporate puppet, if you can’t see that coming a mile away to begin with,  than politics is not your thing.

What’s the worst book you have ever read?  -kbrace8240

Either Lord of the Flies, or Bridge to Terabithia.  Both pretty much turned me off of reading for a few years, when the point was to get kids interested in reading.  You mean a bunch of adults agreed on books that kids would be interested in, put a fancy gold sticker on them, and completely failed in every aspect of the decisions?  Shocking.

Ron Jeremy says violent video games ‘worse’ than porn.-drama11

I agree. I find the glorification of violence far more offensive than the glorification of sex, though I have a high tolerance for both.  I think violence is wrong in all cases, while sex is wrong in very few.  It’s retarded that parents who would be offended at buying their kids porn at 18 would be so easily talked into God of War at 10 years old.

Sources close to former ‘Tonight Show’ host Jay Leno tell me he is furious with the way NBC has treated him and Conan O’Brien and is considering walking away from the entire mess.  How screwed is NBC? -OGBobbsonn

It’s just some PR trying to spin Leno’s disappointment that everyone is reacting to his treachery negatively.  I don’t buy any of Leno’s reasons for leaving in that article. It’s nice to say now, to try to save some face, but Jay will eventually come through with the “too many people, from the props guy to the wardrobe lady, and their families, rely on me for their livelihood.” or such preconsidered nonsense and have no qualms stealing back the show he retired from when the time comes.

When you’re down and out, do you have any friends you can count on? -4emlock

I do, but I try to  figure out my own problems. My friends are for fun.  I don’t see any reason to burden anyone else with my troubles, and I have friends who treat me the same way.  I might ask advice or their thoughts on a situation. But I try very hard to not complain about things that don’t really concern them.

The What’s What, Volume 58

Breaking news; Michael Jackson in death coma. Thoughts?  -ASteiner31

Michael Jackson, woah. – Animedia

So, the King of Pop is dead.  You one of the caring? -copydude11

I can’t care for people I never met.  Sure, his music was great, but it’s not like he died in his prime and we’re missing out on years of upcoming hit singles and critically acclaimed albums.

What really got me caring about anything related to this is the fake mea culpa of Jordan/Evan Chandler that people are passing around as fact.  One guy writes a fake news piece about a molested child admitting the charges were lies, and everyone who can uses it as means of fact, blindly. I realize that someones heart is in the place of wanting to do anything to get the person they care about most the respect they feel the deceased deserves.  But can you imagine if you were raped and 10 years later someone writes a false confession for you? I ‘ve been accused of things I didn’t do, but still I can’t even come close to imagine what this kid is feeling. Not cool, Jacko sympathizer.

What team do you think has the coolest logo in sports? I’m not much of a hockey fan but I think the Minnesota Wild logo is pretty badass. -glidingprimate

Either the Amsterdam Admirals from NFL Europe or the throwback Boston Bruins logo with the bear in the forest, and the ungodly brown and orange striped uniforms.

Who Is Your Favourite Ghostbuster? -<3ALevin<3

Ill go Stantz. He was as smart as Egon and could be as funny as Venkman. Plus he developed most of the gadgets, and got a blow job from a ghost.

what if barbara boxer called the general the wrong rank? How would he have reacted? -akotohealth

I like how you get to address her as “Barbara”. He didn’t call her “Congresswoman”, he called her “maam.” The same thing she was calling Condoleeza Rice during testimony, I’m told.  I bet if she called him “Sir” he wouldnt have responded like a douche.   I’m with the Conservatives on this one.  If someone claims to have earned respect and a a title through hard work, I tell them it should be no problem to work a little harder for my respect.  Respect is earned, not entitled.

How about that Oklahoma girl who killed and skinned her puppy, and made a belt to get back at the girl who gave her the dog? –MKennedy

Just think of the ownage that would have been when the ex-girlfriend saw her in a store somewhere.
“Hey Alexa, sorry about leaving you, hows Fido?”
“Hes great at keeping my pants up, bitch.” *Lifts up shirt to show jack russel belt with owners tag buckle.*

What does reputation mean to you?  To me? Nothing, because of the music I and my friends like we are hated.
But hey, who cares? Reputation is determined on what a certain amount of people think about you. Its not Important, never care what people think about you. If they like you or hate you, who cares? Never let somebody else judge you. -Illinoid

Good luck trying to stop people from judging you.  Reputation is important because it goes farther than you do. People you have never met that could benefit or hurt your situation in life are judging you right now based on your reputation.   Doesn’t make it right, but it happens. Ever heard the phrase “Your reputation preceeds you.”? It’s because it does.  And whether you like to believe otherwise, peoples opinion of you matters a great deal. Telling people that it doesn’t matter what they think is only hurting you.

Thats crazy that Pennsylvania has 3 of the 4 major North American Championships, and 2 of them are in one city. -IdreamofJeanie

So then, it’s even way crazier to realize that The Red Sox, Celtics and Patriots all had championship at the same time 2 years ago, and they ARE from the same city!  Or is it only cool because its Pennsylvania?

How come anyone who’s been murdered is suddenly considered a good, decent person? you ever wonder about that? Every murder victim “brightens up the room, and was everyone’s friend”. It’s just weird, you know? -PhoenixRight

Its because they don’t put murdered assholes on the news.

Have you ever got pussy so good that you just don’t ever bother jerking off? i had some on monday…and me being a daily masturbator, haven’t even touched my penors in 4 days….i just deleted porn off my computer as well…could this be the end of a chronic masturbator? -IllbeBuck

Yes, I have. But it turns out other people were enjoying it also. And that’s how that goes.

I just found out that my Dad wanted me to be aborted… -OfficerFoster

I would be bringing that up in every situation, good or bad.  If I mess up it’s “Man, if only I was a bloody pool in the pan like you wanted, right Dad?”  If I do something nice it “A coathanger with a fetus attached couldn’t have done much better.. right pops?”

Have you ever looked at gay porn? -Girugamesh

Yeah, I watched a gay porn with some girls in college. I was hoping it would prove my openness while getting them all riled up and want to throw down, but they laughed it off and we went back to smoking weed and playing Scattergories like nothing happened.

All the dog lovers I’ve ever met hate small dogs. You are the only person I’ve ever seen to feel small dogs are superior. -FunnyJello

I think it’s an asshole move when you have a big dog and a small yard. I have a small yard, so I got a small dog.   Also, when people cant control their giant dogs when company comes, its a pretty big let down. It’s cool that you love your dog jumping and slobbering on you. But don’t subject your guests to that.  If my little dog jumps at you, he comes up to your knees.  Not really a big deal.

If the Ghostbusters game were not Ghostbusters licensed, it would be considered a bad game. Im enjoying it enough, but its a very ‘static’ feeling game.   I could see an expanded upon sequel being a great game, but this current game is a skeleton of a better game. -Mybandiscool

If it wasn’t licensed, it would have nothing to do with the GhostBusters. It would be called “Urban Apparition Hunter” and wouldn’t have any of the familiar characters, weapons, or plot that the original movie had.   But I agree with you, the game has an antiquated unprofessional feeling to it. It’s the nostalgia, plot and relatively fun combat that allows me to feel like I didn’t waste my money.

I once called my Grandfather by his real name, boy did he get mad. He said “What the hell did you just say, boy? You call me Papaw. Im not your drinking buddy, you stupid kid.” -RoyWi11liams

“I guess I was hoping we were buddies, too. I won’t make that mistake again, don’t worry about it, Grandfather.” Every time following that incident my grandfather would call me by my name I would say “What did you just call me? You call me “Sonny”. We’re not drinking buddies, old man.”

You can call my stories B.S. But I have done this before. When people tell me how hard they worked to receive the title “Doctor”, so they deserve respect. I tell them “You’ll have to work just a little harder to earn it from me.” I find someone demanding respect from people about the most disrespectful thing you can do.

Governor Marc Sanford, lol.  Did you see how Faux News had him as a Democrat in his press conference? -MissinChrisFarley

Seems like a bad idea for Fox to do that.  Now their viewers will deride him instead of supporting him like they would if they knew he was a Republican.  Either way something is fishy, his wife has known for 5 months, but yet he still goes to Argentina?  It sounds to me like hes made his choice.  Family values be damned, Republican, go get you some.

The most powerful superhero that no one ever talks about is probably Cap’n Crunch. And I mean in the literal sense that no one on ever talks about him on the lsit of superheroes.  You can bring up some superheroes that are very rarely brought up, but they are talked about more than Cap’n Crunch.  Sog out. -MainScreech

Keeping cookies crunchy in milk isn’t really a super power with broad usage.   I mean, it’s unlikely to save anyones life.

My Mom just got in a verbal fight with the cashier at 7-11. She is really scared of germs and when you buy a drink at 7-11 they always wrap their fingers around the top, where you have to put your mouth. This time she just put the bar code of the drink under the scanner, and the guy is like “this is mine, not yours” (he was talking about the scanner). Then she explained to him that he does not own 7-11, and he did not buy the scanner so he doesn’t own the scanner. Then she said if he owned 7-11, he would not be standing behind a counter for 8 hours a day,scanning her drink.

She couldn’t have explained her reasoning instead of being a total asshole?
