I'd go see this!

It is pretty sad that they thought there was a need to put "(The mama & the papas)" by her name.

So what are we thinking about the new Kacey?  My initial reaction is that it's a good album, it's just not one I think I'll be listening to as often as her previous one.  Seems to missing the spark it had.

Smackie, you must go to this. Go, for the both of us, go. Suck in twice as much of the air to make up for the air I cannot be there to suck up. Buy a second ticket and leave the seat empty in my honor. When someone -- inevitably -- says "Welcome to the OC, bitch!" high-five the space above the empty chair, and know I am there with you in spirit, if not in person. And if they include Oliver in this thing, for some reason, tell me how excited he gets about the crudites. But gently, because I just don't know if I can stand it.

Absolutely.  I will see what I can do....

Where can you view that type of material and not get fired from your job?

Just about any university where Academic Freedom reigns.  As long as it's about legitimate research, of course

Wrong thread.

Would the legal minutia been better suited for the Smackie thread?

I think he meant your rolling compendium of eats thread.  But, sure, here's fine too.

I know what he meant, Smackie. I was being sarcastic.

Yes,  I was very late to that party.  My bad.

^ one of the best pieces of stand-up, ever.  it's easy to get people to laugh.  it's much harder to get them to laugh and think.

I'm pretty happy with my LG G4, but this is a pretty good looking phone for the music nerd:
