learnincurve posted:Map Quest was for people in countries with sane grid systems and not a country with twisting country roads where the boomers (even when in their 40s) refused to use the real name of a location, and instead preferd to use the old one they were taught when they were 5. Kids these days should treasure their googles and their Internets just for the ease of navigation. People were complaining about directions like this in the late 1700s; it has fuckall to do with the baby boom generation.

pretty soft girl posted:Despite the existence of up to date GPS systems on a device that you can carry in your pocket, this is still a regular conversation I have to have with my dad Not everywhere has an address on rural routes. Our house in northern MN, where my parents still live is on a road that has 3 different names, none of them accurate. It's like RR321, RR125, and Range Line Rd. It has a fire number but no actual address. It's addressed by the name and Range Line Rd. They mail lady knows where we are. If you look it up on Google maps, the location is off by about 5 miles. I've tried reporting it but Google doesn't care so instead it shows by the Smith Rd which is also the Jacopich Rd and also the Forest Service Rd, and also "The Causeway". Seriously, the directions are, when you cross the creek, make a right where you see cows, when the road jogs, make a right and drive to the end. If you put it in your phone to try using GPS, you'll never find it. When I was a kid on the farm in ND our address was "(my grandpa's name), Richland County 1, ND. That was the full address. No fire number. Not even a city. The mailman knew my grandpa so it wasn't necessary. I don't think they let you do that any more, but it was still common in the 90's.

So I was poking around Google TV recently and found out that apparently at some point Amazon did a revival of loving Mad About You, a show that's the TV show version of that Family Guy joke where Jamie Kennedy isn't allowed into the 2000s. It's not awful, but in the same way that Mad About You is so not-anything you can't even think of it beyond "Yeah I think Paul Raiser and Helen Hunt were on that show."

Anyone else have those McDonalds Batman mugs? The one where the handle was Twoface flipping his coin was my prized possession as a 5 year old. Cartoon Man posted:The sequel trilogy needs at least 7-10 more years before it can obtain cult like meme status. It’s future memes will be hilarious though, just gotta hold out till then. I feel like it's too bland to ever equal the status enjoyed by the prequel trilogy. The prequels were an unchecked Lucas making the crappy movies of his dreams, while the sequel trilogy was different directors kept on a short leash to make the next extruded blockbuster product. Or that's my impression, anyway.

I think I still have one or two of the light up LotR goblets around somewhere. My wife like dragging me to thrift malls and the sheer shelf space devoted to fast food promotional glasses is astounding.

The Flintstones one I had had this incredibly satisfying spot where you could place your finger and it was the perfect shape for my child hand sausages.  This one specifically, since there were 4 designs of them.

The only lasting memory I have of Kennedy was Martin Landau giving her poo poo on the red carpet for the first Mission Impossible movie because she didn’t know it was a TV show first. Not that that’s a crime or anything, but I’m sure working for Fox News hasn’t changed her rigorous journalistic approach one whit.

Yeah, those guys, as well as Tabitha Soren, were MTV news reporters, not VJ's. And I bring up Adam Curry because he, while being credited by some as the inventor of podcasts, has used that platform to spread conspiracy theories and anti-vax propaganda. I think he might be the worst of the bunch overall. empty baggie has a new favorite as of 20:38 on Mar 24, 2022 |

Didn't he get a music video and disappear after less than a year, then the normie runner up guy was on MTV for a decade or something Also I think you're right, but Kennedy sucks more. I feel like you could give Jesse some weed and attention and he'd fade into the background, but Kennedy would be up at 5am and still talking very opinionatedly about things she doesn't know anything about.

The only reason I ever remember her is Nirvana’s Unplugged show. At one point near the end, they jokingly ask for suggestions or requests on what to play and a woman loudly yells “Rape Me!”. Everyone laughs a little, I think Dave Grohl asks “Is that Kennedy?”, and Cobain smirks and says “I don’t think MTV would let us play that.”
