[Dan 'Hampton]

Good we need some sort of movie segment. I can't wow my wife with queue requests without it.

[Oilfield Canuck #3]

Nice. Iron man was on when I went to the movies last night, but I went and saw Harold and Kumar escape from Guantanamo Bay instead, I feel I made the right decision.

[Placebinex]

So... the no substiutions, additions or subtractions rules for the CT restaurant and the applcation there of needs some clarification. Say Jivin were to order a sandwich that has a nasty tomato slice on it. Would he be allowed to remove said tomato once the sandwich is at the table? Or would he be required to eat the sandwich as prepared, for if he didn't want the tomato on the sandwich he should have ordered something else?

[Placebinex]

So, if they pay retards in pennies that means they pay them in food, right?

[MJ4H]

Hey a big mention of me in the show today!

I am "father of a retarded kid."

For the record, he appeared totally normal until he was about 6 months old. Totally normal pregnancy, nothing unusual at all. The seizures started when he was 6 months old and all development stopped at that point. It has been quite a rough 5 years, but certainly never thought I wished he hadn't been born.

I think your opinion about this subject would change if you'd gone through what I have for the last 5 years. It didn't end my life at all. It has been challenging, no doubt, but it isn't all that bad. I won't bore you with all of this, but if you want to know how or why or what's it like or any of that, I will be happy to answer you from actual experience. I will say a lot of the things you talked about in your segment are pretty unrealistic, but I understand where you are coming from (I thought like that at one time in my life, too).

[shaan]

After thinking about it some more I gotta agree that a single Godzillaish creature would be pretty boring but multiple creatures could change things around especially in the middle of a natural disaster or something. Give me Godzilla and Cloverfield in a hurricane and lets say i have a hangover. Lets go.

ALSO they do use the exact same car in NASCAR

Great show again guys, a few thoughts in no apparent order,

1) Nickelback sucks ass, as a Canadian I feel I must apologize to you Americans for being from the same country as these douche bag fagots, if it makes you feel any better, the Canadian Broadcast Council mandates that a percentage ( I think 70% ) of our programming content must be Canadian, so Nickelback gets played all the time. This was the #1 major reason why I bought XM, that and heading to a remote area for work where I could only get one radio station, and they had a 3 day Billy Joel marathon, but that's another story.

2) You don't eat wolves, they are considered a nuisance. Wolves will kill just for fun, eg. they will kill an elk or deer even if they are not hungry and leave it. To a lesser extent they will stalk people as well. As a good wildlife steward, it is necessary to hunt wolves to maintain the populations of other species eg. Elk, moose or deer. That is the legal justification for it, I just think it is fun.

3) CT you are right about ordering food the way it is, it drives me crazy when people delete or add shit from their order when I go out to eat, it makes the order take longer and who knows what the cook is doing to the food while he is preparing it because he is annoyed, I don't need a ball juice seasoned burger. If you don't like it pick it off when it arrives.

4) We have some of the best skiing/snowboarding in the world in Alberta, here are my two favorites:

http://www.sunshinevillage.com/the_mountain/overview.php

http://www.skilouise.com/

I prefer Sunshine village because Goat's Eye mountain is a blast, a good mix of Moguls, boulders and glades, also they have the steepest ski hill in the world, the Delirium Dive, which is an 88% grade, avalanche transmitters and shovels are required equipment to ski this run and you must check in at the top and out at the bottom, otherwise they assume you are buried and will come looking for you.

Another reason sunshine rules is the ski in ski out hotel on the hill, if you can get 4 guys together, a suite with 4 beds and passes is usually cheaper than buying just passes for the weekend. CT and Jivin ski weekend anybody? The slush cup is just around the corner.

5) NWO - Jivin you get it completely, it is all about fun, CT this would be a great area to expand you skills, don't think that the guys I pick would be without skills, you could learn how to turn on a gas station, or a power plant or anything. I would clear the blocked streets with a bulldozer, who's going to stop me? We will make sure to show you how stuff works too, most of my buddies and myself are trades or engineer types, so don't worry about us figuring it out, it will be taken care of. Also don't make any rules, we will knife that guy. I hate rules.

Great show again guys, I will stop typing and go "Do Work Son"!

[Dan 'Hampton]

Guess I can't think of superstar ever the same way again

[tommydeadwood]

Ok CT I have to admit im not a Soccer fan but thinking it over Soccer is the ultimate Tailgating sport. First you have the great weather. Second its a hands free sport. In my minds eye one of my hands is holding a pint of Guinness (poured in a glass), in my other hand is a Shish Kabob with pieces of skirt steak, pineapple, peppers, and onions. All while kicking around a soccer ball with my pals. Thats a Damn Good Time!

"A black albino doesn't JIVE..." CT that took a second, but the pay off was worth it. Nice pun.

Hulu was founded in March 2007 and is a joint venture owned by NBC Universal and News Corp. In addition, Hulu has closed a $100 million investment from private equity firm Providence Equity Partners.

Hulu's small, but growing team is headquartered in Los Angeles, California with a Research and Development team in Beijing, China.

I’ve always heard that it is inappropriate to wear the shirt of the band that you are going to see. The main reasons given for this are:

1.People there already know you’re into the band; you’ve purchased tickets to see them live, it's redundant.

2.Wearing another bands shirt is appropriate, for people may check them out based on your t-shirt recommendation. Basically you’re advertising for another band in the same genre and thus spreading the word. I think this concept was more appropriate before music was readily available online and after every purchase a pop up for “if you’re into this then check out these other four bands” became common place.

Anyway, this is a long way to go for my question. Why are people that wear the jersey or team colors to a sporting event not shunned? The above criteria for a concert would also fit for a hockey game, people there know you’re a fan for you’re attending the game and if you wear another teams jersey to the game… well that’s not exactly accepted. Hey if you’re into the Blackhawks you might want to checkout the Blues, that won't exactly go well. Just wanted some opinions on the issue.

I believe it has to do with the intelligence level. Not all sports fans are dumb, but a good portion of the viewers at a given event have the same intelligence level as a cave man. Combine that with sports fans living out their high school glory days and the mentality that goes along with it and it makes sense. If you look different or go against the trend then they will give you shit for it. To some extent the "smarter" sports fan also reverts back to the high school mentality and dress in the same attire to avoid the jock attention. Nobody wants to be thumped by a mongoloid for dressing like a faggot. Just my $0.02.

[Oilfield Canuck #3]

Also I have no idea why there is a winking emoticon over my previous post, and furthermore it will not let me remove it. Strange.

[shaan]

i gotta say when i am at a hardcore show or something and i see some guy in american eagle looking extra fratty i automagically think he is a douche for being at the show. but maybe it is i that is the douche?

[Placebinex]

If you didn't point it out no one would have noticed. :lol:

I appreciate your two cents on the issue. I was more or less looking at it from a social perspective. Both venues host an event; however, the social rules for the guests seem to be different. You may be onto something with the intellegience factor and people's clinging on to their former glory. Thanks... tanks.

On amputee porn: I saw a pic not long ago of a chick at a convention dressed as Rose McGowan's character from "Grindhouse", and she actually was an amputee, so she had the gun on her stump. And she was hot as hell.

Honestly, I wouldn't have a problem dating an amputee. It wouldn't really affect me one way or the other. It wouldn't repulse me, but I don't quite think I have a fetish for it. Though I can't promise that a batch wouldn't end up on the end of that stump.

[Brandon From Ohio.]

Thank You CT and Jivn, I am loving Hulu.

[Oilfield Canuck #3]

Well guys, it looks like we had better not post any separate threads about anything, or it will get tagged onto the end of another thread. Fuck I am sick of the Ron and Fez crowd running into here posting shit that doesn't make sense, cutting down the threads we have or hijacking, and then leaving again. Anyways I won't go into much detail but, NIN put out an album, I won't say anymore or this will probably get moved too.

In case you didn't get it from the old thread. I commend you on your effort to get the news out about the release. You were the first to bring it to my attention.

As it says on the tagline for the show: MUSIC, Movies and a whole lot more... and zombies and Cereal. It seems like an appropriate thread for this board so fuck them.

ONE TIME WEARING A BAND'S T-SHIRT TO THEIR SHOW MAY BE APPROPRIATE:
Battle of the Bands. Now at a normal show obviously you don't wear a perfoming band's t. But if they were in a battle of the bands where wearing their shirt identifies you as a supporter of them I could see it being alright. Now on to sporting events, I admittedly am a team apparel wearer to a sporting event. I'm always sporting my Sox hat. And when I got to Yankee Stadium at the end of the month I will be wearing it. And when I go to fenway next month I'll be wearing my jersey as well. Is it cool probably not, but I don't have a problem with wearing your teams gear to their game, in fact you get more cred for doing that in enemy territory. If this made sense I'd be amazed.
I guess it comes down to a performance vs. a competition. The rules are different.

I'd agree that a battle of the bands scenario warrants a definite amendment to Jivin's rules... I thought CT was the rules Nazi, huh?

i tried to follow what happened here by clicking on your original nin post and just ended up confused as hell. seems like someone moved your post out of our forum or moved another post into ours. either way...i guess just post in the "music" thread from now on if your post is music related. that way, um, something won't happen...or something.

[SchnitDick]

holy crap hulu looks awesome but dangerous. It works on my work computer......who cares about Q1 estimates right????

I see the battle of the bands the same concept of a sporting event. When I went to the Yankees last week there were people wearing Mariners gear, if they didn't then how would you know to throw your beer at them????

That's what I thought too but since we are guests on this forum I guess we will have to live with it. I'm done with it, I need to stop getting riled up by internet tough guys.

I just ended up getting in a pissing match with them, gave up, then apologized and then left, hopefully the offendees die slow and painfully of aids. I will probably get banned for asking this, but would there be any interest in setting up a CT and Jivin forum, instead of a sub forum on here?

I like the idea, but lack the technical ability to set one up. I would definitely support The CT and Jivin Lyceum, but until then I will continue to show appreciation for RonFez.net's hosting of this board.

It shouldn't have been. I haven't been watching, but I will talk to the person who did it.

If they want it, they can talk to me about it. RF.Net can host it on our server.

CT or
Jivin?

Thanks for both of those JustJon, and sorry for acting like an asshat in the other thread. I too am very greatful to ronfez.net for hosting somewhere to hang out with other fans. The hosting has never been the issue for me, it has always been negative comments made towards the CT and Jivin program that irk me.


On a happier note, in a post apocalyptic world I would pick Jivin for the leader, CT may make a more sensible leader and accomplish more, but dammit if there is going to be chaos I am going to enjoy myself, and that does not involve rules.

[Dan 'Hampton]

CT from the last show sounds way to likely to become Hitler. Jivin is a maniac but we'd be assured of a good time.

[Kodos]

CT is right about limiting orders. You're already doing them a favor by picking something up for them. They should at least make doing them a favor simple. I also think they shouldn't be allowed to order drinks. Get your own damn drink!

[Oilfield Canuck #3]

If I order free drinks for people that ask me too (eg. I wouldn't do it otherwise) , I make sure it is something really "special" like a prairie wildfire or a cement mixer.

I usually don't get asked twice. :down:

[JustJon]

If CT and Jivin release their super virus and pair the world down to 20 people, do loyal CT and Jivin listeners get an invite? Or are we as fucked as everyone else?

[Oilfield Canuck #3]

If CT and Jivin release their super virus and pair the world down to 20 people, do loyal CT and Jivin listeners get an invite? Or are we as fucked as everyone else?

Are you implying that CT and Jivin only have 20 listeners? If they started at 1 subscriber and doubled that every month that would explain the excellent growth percentage. :laugh:

Remember, it's quality not quantity.
