[QUOTE=WF Tomba] Yeah, and Jamie wouldn’t kill him in his sleep. He’d just say “All right, enough is enough” and pick him up and stuff him into a giant trash compactor. [/QUOTE] No no no. Bark chipper. “This week on Mythbusters, _Fargo_ myths!” ---

[QUOTE=Cervaise] No no no. Bark chipper. “This week on Mythbusters, _Fargo_ myths!” [/QUOTE] That’s actually not a half-bad idea. Not to use real people, of course, but a human analogue (euphemism for “frozen pork”), run it through a wood chipper, and see what happens. My guess: it gums up the machine and the machine stops. ---

It seems that Rob Schneider is in every Adam Sandler film ever made. ---

And if you see Ben Stiller is in a movie, you know that Owen Wilson can’t be far behind. ---

[QUOTE=Max Torque] See, I had a different read on Penn and Teller. Teller wrote a non-fiction bit in **Playboy** a year or two back, and the vibe I got from one paragraph in particular was that, though they’d started out as friends, they weren’t any longer, but they still worked together because, hey, it’s a solid gig and makes boatloads of cash. And I have a solo pic of myself with Penn taken after the Rio show, as well. He’s an extremely nice guy in person, and seems willing to spend as long as it takes to shake every hand and sign every slip of paper. [/QUOTE] I think both of them can blow hot and cold on their relationship - like a lot of people who have been married for a long time can be. I suspect that Penn in particular can really quickly become an overbearing ass - and that if you hit either one of them at the right time, there is more animosity than friendship in their remarks to one another. But like a married couple that doesn’t mean they don’t like each other - they just don’t like each other at that moment. Jamie and Adam also have moments when there seems to be more animosity there, but in their case (unlike Penn and Tellers) I don’t think there is ever true friendship. Ebert has really gone out of his way to say he and Siskel actually became good friends - though I don’t think they started that way, and there were always rumors that they didn’t get along. ---

In fairness, Jamie strikes me as a huge dick. Can you imagine the personality behind that Clean Up or Die sign and bizarre outfit? Oh sure, he’s the guy you want handling explosives, but probably not really much of a social wunderkind. If I was Savage I wouldn’t hang around with him either. I really kind of doubt that Jamie has any friends. ☹ ---

[QUOTE=commasense] And look what I just found: [Mythbusters meet Penn](http://www.lfexaminer.com/IMG_0338a.jpg). [/QUOTE] Wow, I’m a little star-struck by that photo, Brad Pitt or somebody wouldn’t faze me that much but that photo stops me cold. As mentioned previously, Adam and Jamie probably work together so much that what little private time they have is best spent with their family/friends. To me Adam would be fun for a while but would get annoying when you were actually trying to get work done. But both of them are really good thinkers and fabricators. ---

[QUOTE=wheresgeorge04] Get your head OFF MY WOMAN! Joe [/QUOTE] Heh. Apparently you haven’t noticed that “your” woman has **her** head on **my** shoulder. So there. (Actually, we’re both out of luck. A couple months after this picture was taken, she married someone else. [sob] How could she do that to me?) ---

[QUOTE=control-z] Wow, I’m a little star-struck by that photo, Brad Pitt or somebody wouldn’t faze me that much but that photo stops me cold. [/QUOTE] It’s not too late to sign up for [TAM 6](http://www.randi.org/joom/component/option,com_registrationpro/Itemid,33/func,details/did,1/), in Las Vegas, June 19-22. P&T will be there, as will Adam (but apparently not Jamie or --sob-- Kari), along with Shermer, Bad Astronomer Phil Plait, Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson, PZ Myers, and Christopher Hitchens. And Randi, of course. I don’t think I’ll make it, but you never know. I’ve only been to the one in 2006, but I had a great time. It’s a relatively small meeting, so you really get a chance to meet the celebrities, as you can see. ---

A friend of mine was sure that behind the scenes they were gay lovers, so I guess not everybody gets the same impression as the OP, for whatever that’s worth. ---

I’m a couple of degrees away from somebody who worked rather closely with Adam and Jamie on a rather intensive myth. If it’s possible, I’ll try to get his opinion. ---

I always took Jamie’s attitude as that of a serious scientist. I.e. you start screwing around and the experimental results might be inconclusive. Adam’s a lot funnier but when they square off for a challenge, designing a device independently to see whose works better, Jamie seems to win a lot more. ---

I can see where someone might get the gay vibe from Adam and Jamie, though, because they both have a certain West Coast style that can look gay to people who aren’t from California. ---

Just popping in to say that the ads are displaying something about a “Kari float switch”. I don’t know what that is but my imagination is running wild. mmmm…floating with Kari…no switching!
