Random Questions/New Hijack Thread
 

I just tried to retrieve the Hijack thread, but it's locked :confused: How come? Anyhoo, what happened to CNN Headline News? It's BBC News (all the time now). I went to put "Showbiz Tonite" on last nite at 11:00 (it puts me to sleep :laugh:) and it was BBC news and still is now. Please explain. Or is it just a Canadian Broadcasting thing?

^It might be a Canadian thing. I'm pretty sure we still have the regualr programming.




Do you think I'm bipolar? More and more each day, I think I am. :eek:

Why? Thats kinda hard to answer since I've only met you once and only communicate with you by internet :laugh:

How does "green moss" grow inside of a person on their small intestine?

Good point. :p

I have very high, highs.....and very low, lows......There are very few days when I feel "normal".

I do notice sometimes that your reply's are (dare I say, grumpy :o ). I never know if you're serious or joking. Do you think your moods reflect in your replys :shrug:

hmmmm...I wonder why. I like that thread. Mostly because I have meaningless points I like to make. And instead of starting a new thread for my every whim....( :rolleyes: :laugh: ) I like putting it in a hijack thread. thanks for starting a new one :thumbsup:

One of my all time favorite songs is "The Highs Are Too High" by Pretty & Twisted (which was Johnette Napolitano and Marc Mooreland).
Fantastic release...

rbs

CNN is still CNN here :shrug:

CNN Headline News is different then just CNN. It's on a different channel and it's constant news, no special stories, no news conferences, no specials reports. I only watch it for "Showbiz Tonite", its like Entertainment Tonite but smutier (is that word :laugh: ).

^^

Oh oops..I didn't read carefully enough...I haven't looked to see if CNN Headline News is up and running....:o

I thought I was the only person on earth who had that cd.

Have you ever looked at her website? She has a video there, that is quite cool. She has been doing Flamenco dance and making little films, in addition to her music-making projects.

you guys are fantastic. :angel:

No kidding. :p

I just checked it ,CNN Headline news is still on here on ch 61 comcast cable in Connecticut.I wonder if their rating were down up there and the cable company drop it. Fox news is killing them here. I've have not watch much of showbiz tonight. But I do watch Entertainment Tonight,The Insider, Access Hollywood,Extra and E Entertainment's Enews, some times on a daily basis.

I guess I could make a Concrete Blond thread

^^

Love the sig picture...that is such a wild story...

And Carrie...do the skeletons remind you of anything (hint-X-Files episode) :p

Definitely. You guys can tell when I'm PMSing.

I've been watching Showbiz Tonite alot lately. Joy Behar was on a few nights ago. She cracks me up!

Here in my area, we're losing the E channel. It's going digital. Maybe it's something like that.:shrug:

:laugh: yes! love it.

Speaking of X-Files - Random question: What was the episode with the hillbillys and the mother that had no arms and legs and lived on a skateboard under the bed? I have been trying to find it, cause I had nightmares about that episode for years - I now feel confident enough to watch it :laugh:

:laugh: that is home. season 4.

Oh good - Im gonna order it in :laugh:

EDIT: Damn, just checked the system - and its OOP :(

^

What a distrurbing and creepy episode. I loved it.

OOP? Oh...it's a different region thing? It's still available here.

I am still not freaked out by Home!!!!! Am I immune to this episode, or something? :lol:

They are worth a thread. I was way into them from about 90-94. Bloodletting is a brilliant record. I am afraid Johnette lost the plot after Mexican Moon. Her writing output has very spotty quality after that. But what a set of pipes.

Why do they call Q-tips, Q-tips? Why not X-tips? Or P-tips? Why not call them small crevice cleaners?? Who comes up with this ****?

Whats a Q-Tip? :confused:

Wha!?! Maybe you're just a sick sick person :p

That episode was just disturbing...I mean when you think about the concept..and what that place must have smelled like....just eww.


And isn't Q-Tip the brand name? The non-brand name is Cotton Swab.

It's like Kleenex...it's really a brand name, but pretty much any tissue is now referred to as a Kleenex.

Yeah, its out of print in the NZ/AU region :(, or Roadshow are just not distibuting it any more :shrug:

:( Bummer...I'd offer to burn it non-region for ya - but a) I don't know how and b) I don't have season 4.

I had Bloodletting on cassette (why cassette? Don't remember) and I played it a lot. I had briefly moved back to LA, and her dusty dark cowgirl thing, well just the general aesthetic worked for me.

Have you heard Angela McCluskey?

What do you do if you're terrified of spiders and found that one has taken up long-term res in your closet? I have this ugly brown bastard that has been sitting in the corner for ages now. I'm talking a month here. He's still alive, but he doesn't move much. There's no food for him in there, unless you count the peanutbutter on the mousetrap.

Ugh. Go figure, I clean my ENTIRE closet, and leave one little web, thinking that whatever built it has moved on... :p

Vacuum with a long hose!
Quick!
Otherwise someday he won't be in that corner anymore, and you won't know where to find him
shiver

You know... Q-tips!!! I suppose Deanna corrected me by saying that they are actually cotton swabs. It's still a weird brand name: Q-tips... hee hee... OK, so what does the "Q" stand for???

http://www.qtips.com/

Oh - ear-buds! Thats what I call em anyway :laugh:

Eww. Ugh... I checked in the corner a few days ago, and thought it was gone. I didn't know whether to be relieved or scared because I had no idea where he was! I'm glad I don't have much in there, aside from old video games, shoes (eek, wait, those are precious!), and my bird's stuff. I've taken out her food so I don't have to go in there every day. :lol:

I should just suck that ****er up, shouldn't I? I wonder if it's the same spider I came eye to uh.. eyes? with a couple of months ago (:shocked: ). I tried to vacuum it up and it ran away. :mad:

Aw.. it's just a little ol' spider. He won't eat much.

Actually, I used to be afraid of 'em. My husband always had to get them for me. I remember when I first bought this house I'm in, and he was no longer around to get 'em for me, I had them EVERYWHERE!!! I tried to get 4 year old Sara to get one with a shoe for me. She wasn't having it. So I had to get him with a shoe... I've grown to be ok with them now.

The weird thing is, I used to freakin' love 'em. We had a study unit on them in third grade, and I went all over the house catching them to bring into school. And then... I don't know, I was just afraid of them all of the sudden. I can't even kill them with a shoe because I hate the idea of spider guts. :laugh: I usually just leave them alone. But this bitch has overstayed his welcome!
