To hijack even further, what happened to the “Spike” network name? Did Spike Lee win his lawsuit?
They are still calling it TNN.
Temporary injunction. They go to court in August.
Public wants SUVs with better Gas mileage
Dear Public:
I hearby present a few facts for you education:
Bigger Cars=Lower Gas Mileage
You want a car with better gas mileage? Get a smaller car, moron.
Holy shit, I was hoping they would throw it out faster then you could say “wow thats a dumbass lawsuit”.
To be fair, some auto makers have plans for SUVs with hybrid engines in the near future. IIRC, Toyota has one coming soon that should get an estimated 38/45 MPG. Still not as efficient as the hybrid sedans that get 65/80, but compared to what they’ve got now…
Oh yeah!! That’s why when I went to the web site it said some about being prohibited to give there name by the courts.
(Well, I had to look at the site. I mean…the First Network for Men? Huh?
Well, admittedly men are a highly undertargetted demographic. I mean, have you seen the Playboy channel? There’s hardly even a man on there :eek: )
Look everyone you can shut about about Pam Anderson and a no strip clause, or Cheesy Cheddar Au Gratin potatoes, I have just observed the absolute pinacle of stupid. This level of stupid would even make the OJ jury go WTF?
Tonight in the supermarket I went to buy a large bag of ice for the tub-o-cold drinks tomorrow. What does my SDMB trained eye spot? A freekin sell by date on the bag of ice.
What, 20lbs of frozen water will spoil if it isn’t sold by July 5th? Did I miss the memo? All of these years, I was under the impression that frozen water was fairly bullet proof as long as it was stored below 32F.
:smack:
Road closed when under water
What sort of horsepower can those things put out? Make it less than 150 hp and there’s not really any point to it…
NEVER COOK ME ANYTHING! Seriously. Who the fuck has ever even HEARD of grated bread crumbs?!
you grate the bread into crumbs.
I guess i was wrong about the meaning of gratin:
Well you get the picture.
You should be more concerned with me trying to translate from French.
They ‘pixalate’ the naked breasts of the strippers on ‘Stripperella’, which I find amusing (OK, so they probably draw them that way from the start, it’s still amusing)
Hey ! Hey ! Watch your mouth !
Maybe you’re living on the wrong side of town
Well, Rick, I’m sorry to say that the reason they have expiration dates on ICE is for people like my mil. Who for years insisted that she buy jugs of water becaue it’s “better.” Okay well, where they lived in PA the water was very very good.
Anyway, one day my fil was so annoyed at the fact that he had to DRIVE HER to get more water (just in case the 12 gallons she had would evaporate) that he blurted out…“Have you LOOKED at the label on that jug of water?” He then showed her it said in tiny print “municipal water sources”
SWL
well, now she buys the more expensive stuff, fcol.
But my mil who has to buy sodas from the 711 because fountain soda is way better than canned, would look at expiration dates on ice.
stupid people…
If Spike Lee wins that lawsuit, I think Spike Jones should sue him for the same reasons.
Then, if Spike Jones is successful, Spike Jonze should sue him. After all, it takes some kind of gall to use a name first.
BTW, If you think Spike Lee is a real name, I’ve got some real good buys on pieces of the true cross and saintly foreskins.
That is bizarre and pathetic.
Makes sense to me. Fresh fish is better than frozen fish. So fresh ice must be better than… uh, wait a minute. I might need to think about this a little more.
But I had always thought that “au gratin” meant “with cheese melted on top”. (Which would have made “Cheesy Cheddar au Gratin” triply redundant, kind of.) But now I know better.
Well, speaking as someone who has experience with iceboxes… sailboat… ice can get stale. It just tastes kind of dead. I think it asorbs the flavor of whatever was in the icebox as well as the metal taste of the walls.
And, of course, fountain soda is different from canned. Usually a somewhat lighter syrup mix, as it gets watered down in use, not to mention local water.
Yep his real name is Shelton Jackson Lee.
Don’t forget the people who make Tom & Jerry should sue lest we think the network has something to do with Spike the dog.
