heya budday....how was breakfast?
I got to sleep in today. No work till Wed.

But yesterdays brunch was fucking brutal. I sold 71 egg Benedicts alone. Not to mention the 180 eggs, 2 gallons of pancake batter and 22 orders of banana stuffed french toast.

At one point I looked up and noticed that I still had 4 hours to go. That was the worst.

[realmenhatelife]

My guess is a Stones opener today. Can't say which song although I would've guessed Jumpin Jack Flash had it not come up on Friday. I'll bet its live, though.

Flinstones opener? Strange, but I kinda dug it.

[Chaotic]

Morning Buddays!

[drjoek]

Sounds like Zappa

Anyone??

It's kindof strange that it was a cartoon with a laugh track.

I really thought Pepper would've gone stones for birthday boy Mick Jagger.

[JRC]

[Jacques420]

Read previous posts..

[KnoxHarrington]

Odd that the opener is based on both a show and a performer that Ronnie has kind of trashed in the past.

[Edwin]

I have never been a Zappa fan, but this song is pretty cool.

Kitty Corner: located diagonally across from something, especially across an intersection.

I think they're both the same.

[epo]

That Palin press conference was nothing short of funny.

[RhinoinMN]

That caller is friends with Sarah Palin?

[Charlie_Don't_Surf]

This is easy. If you're with a date, you sit side by side because it's awkward to lean over your food and the whole table for a little face time. That and girls like to hang on your arm or hold onto to you.

On the other hand across the table can work if the table cloth is long enough because your girl can reach across with her feet and give you a little massage.

Damn I take it back, it's not so easy.

[RhinoinMN]

catty corner?

or

kitty corner?

I always heard kitty corner.

[KnoxHarrington]

Palin's favorability ratings have plunged over time. They're around 40% now, down from 60% or so when she first was named McCain's running mate.

I figure she'll fleece hayseeds for a payday with appearances, books, and, probably, a TV show on Fox.

[epo]

That caller is friends with Sarah Palin?

You betcha!

[RhinoinMN]

Do a google search of Kitty corner and you get over 1 million relative hits.

Catty corner gets 51,000

Cattie corner gets about 300,000

[ToiletCrusher]

I always heard kitty corner.

Me too.

Isn't funny how only after Ron said "catty corner", the callers and other staff said it too.

(im just trying to get some traffic to my listening thread)

[KnoxHarrington]

There's some real greaseball shit that goes on in HOF voting. The fact that Rice waited for his last year to get in was absolutely not an accident.

I also hate HOF voters who won't vote for a candidate because they don't feel they "deserve" to be a first ballot Hall of Famer. And I especially hate the douches that pop up occasionally who won't vote for someone because they want to make sure that a candidate will not be unanimous (it happened to Ripken, Ryan, and some others.)

yes; as has been said before the 28 writers who didn't vote for Rickey Henderson should have votes taken away

[Warren Peace]

Ron Santo deserves to be in the HOF. Fuck Bob Feller.

Listening to Ron talk about Pete Rose is just stupid. There is a rule that is posted in every locker room in baseball, and Rose broke that rule.

Jim Rice pissed off every writer when he was a player. Try not to forget what a douche bag he was when he was a Red Sox. The fact that he was such a dick caused him to be ignored until it was his last chance.

[A.J.]

As a manager, not as a player.

[KnoxHarrington]

Listening to Ron talk about Pete Rose is just stupid. There is a rule that is posted in every locker room in baseball, and Rose broke that rule.

I especially hate the "Pete never bet against the Reds" defense for him. Any game in which Rose had money on the Reds, even if he's betting on them, is compromised.

Jim Rice pissed off every writer when he was a player. Try not to forget what a douche bag he was when he was a Red Sox. The fact that he was such a dick caused him to be ignored until it was his last chance.

Steve Carlton wouldn't talk to the press either. He didn't have to wait to get in.

Ron Santo? Its the Hall of Fame and not the Hall of Very Good.

[drjoek]

As a manager, not as a player.

If we're being technical Rose signed away his right to be readmitted into baseball. He signed the form and how wants to see it revoked. Fay Vincent had it iron clad.

[Meataball23]

It dont make you a bad person

:lol:

[drjoek]

Theres a differnce between not talking and being a total prick to the media. He was the OG douche bag. He made Reggie look like a good guy by comparison.

[Meataball23]

How can Rickey Henderson vs. Jim Rice possibly be a tough call?

Its not

[epo]

As a manager, not as a player.

Same rule, and as a manager he decided who played and pitched. He comprised his team, end of story in my mind.

[A.J.]

Yeah but the Boston media deserves it.

Name a better third baseman during his era. Brooks Robinson? Santo had better offensive #'s....before you pull out the Gold Glove card, Santo won 5 consecutive Gold Gloves.

Barry Diller is a "genius" in the fact that he's made alot of money, but he's also a puppet master of the "big media" system that Ron hates.

This whole issue is called "net neutrality".

[drjoek]

The Boston Globe is one of the most respected newspapers in the country and The NY Times which owns it has been threatening to shut it down for being unprofitable

[realmenhatelife]

Seriously, the idea that money makes art better comes directly from the people who create no art but still want to make money off of it. It's total bullshit.

[EliSnow]

the g in gbaby stands for geek;i dont see no g in elisnow

That's because EliSnow is from an actual comic book super hero:

"Net neutrality" is the exact opposite of what this dude is saying. It's the effort to prevent ISP's from prioritizing some Internet traffic over the other.

Wouldn't the problem not be with the content, but rather the business refusing to update their business model?

did he ever sing a song about you?

[KatPw]

I haven't figured out whether Ayn Rand or Stephen Covey are more useless.

Rand writes great Utopian fantasy. That is all her writing could ever amount to. Well, Atlas Shrugged also makes a great doorstop, but that's besides the point. But like communism, Objectivism only works on paper. Once humans are involved in the equation it all goes to shit.

[drjoek]

Does anyone remember going to the movie and NOT seeing commercials before the movie??

[Misteriosa]

exactly.. like a tiered service..

i think that there are some ISPs considering caps on usage. use more = pay more. i guess like an eletric bill or something. it doesnt make it right tho.

[KatPw]

Does anyone remember going to the movie and NOT seeing commercials before the movie??

I do, but I'm old. Remember smoking in theaters? Good times. Now we pay more for tickets just to watch commercials.

The problem is that people who read Ayn Rand take it literally. I swear to God, the next person who references John Fucking Galt to me is getting kicked in the head.

Pseudo-bullshit intellectualism.

The problem is that people who read Ayn Rand take it literally. I swear to God, the next person who references John Fucking Galt to me is getting kicked in the head.

Pseudo-bullshit intellectualism.

Who's John Galt? :lol:

Stay away from political/business threads on Fark. It's full of Randians. You'd be exausted with all the kicks to the head you would have to dole out. But you would also have kick ass calves.

[Eltron6000]

there will only be ads, there's no way they'll ever manage to pull off an "a la carte" mode of internet. there are so many versions of the internet right now (i.e., firefox, chrome, safari, etc) and it will only become easier to create new paths.

advertising is where they will get their money.

[biggestmexi]

exactly.. like a tiered service..

i think that there are some ISPs considering caps on usage. use more = pay more. i guess like an eletric bill or something. it doesnt make it right tho.

FYI Comcast already does cap usage.

[EliSnow]

as rick james sang in his song about gbaby

HES A SUPER GEEK SUPER GEEK HES SUPER GEEKY

did he ever sing a song about you?

those were great times... just watching the dancing popcorn cartoon about throwing out your trash properly... not seeing military and car commericals... :lesigh:

I also noticed they showed alot of pictures of popcorn and the soda and candy. For some reason I just HAD to have some popcorn and soda and twizzlers
:tongue:

[disneyspy]

saw a great comercial about G last saturday with kevin garnett at the movies

[underdog]

I'm the new underdog.

What does that make me?

[KatPw]

So does Cablevison. Ask me how I know.

[drjoek]

What are these ads on TV that Ron is talking about?

i havent watched a commercial in 5 years since I got Tivo

[KnoxHarrington]

Wouldn't the problem not be with the content, but rather the business refusing to update their business model?

There was a study that came out not long ago that showed that if the New York Times just bought everyone who subscribes to the paper a Kindle, and stopped printing the paper edition, they'd save literally millions of dollars.

[Edwin]

I catch up on DVRed stuff weekly and still catch myself sitting through the commercials. It just doesn't bother me.

[disneyspy]

I remember when cable came out it was supossed to be commercial free.

i remember when satelite radio came out and it was supposed to be commercial free

[biggestmexi]

So does Cablevison. Ask me how I know.

nah im good.


:tongue:

[epo]

To sit here and listen to these people bitch about the "quality" of media, which is greatly the doing of Barry Diller and his disciples is insane. Diller created this dogshit, and we're all supposed to listen to his ideas on how to run the internet?

Fuck him.

[KnoxHarrington]

It's good to see that Phillies fans came up with a new gimmick besides just chucking batteries at players.

[underdog]

i remember when satelite radio came out and it was supposed to be commercial free

I don't. I remember them talking about commercial free music stations, but I never remember hearing everything would be commercial free.

[Meataball23]

What happened at citizens bank?

I was watching the game saturday on fox, sadly I was a heidelberg and dont remember much of it:drunk:

[drjoek]

Not me no way i watch a commercial. It pisses me off if I actually watch a show in real time.

[KatPw]

I don't mind the commercials on hulu, some are quite amusing (the trojan commercials rule). Plus I get to thumb down all the ones I dislike, giving me a false sense of satisfaction that my feedback actually counts for something.

I don't. I remember them talking about commercial free music stations, but I never remember hearing everything would be commercial free.

XM had commercials on music stations until Sirius came around and did not.

[Misteriosa]

as far as the beer commericlas go, i think the beer companies are trying to sell hopes of friendship and companionship thru alcohol to alcoholics, who usually drink alone.

[insert duffman with girls pic here]

oh yeah

[biggestmexi]

only time i see commercials is at my dads house...

..or..

Little bits of them not properly cut off the rips. :happy:

[drjoek]

There are about 5 music channels that have commercials now

[KnoxHarrington]

There are about 5 music channels that have commercials now

Yeah, the Clear Channel programmed ones.

I'm surprised that XM/Sirius hasn't used that as an excuse to put commercials on the other stations, since I don't think most listeners make a distinction between who programs the channels.

[A.J.]

Newspapers are insane with their business model. I just got a subscription to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, delivered to my door by 6am for $2 per week. That's just stupid on their part to offer me a deal which costs them money.

[KatPw]

My husband was singing the knissors song all weekend.

[insert duffman with girls pic here]

oh yeah

most alcoholics do most of their drinking with others,but non alcoholics cant keep up and they end up drinkin alone

for those of you that didnt hear,I WASHED MY SHEETS! AND I MIGHT WASH THEM TOMORROW!

[KnoxHarrington]

I guess the bet is that getting the subscription numbers up will allow them to raise ad rates, but the paper here has offered me similar deals.

[epo]

Are commercials really that bad or has target marketing just gotten much better?

Commercials in the past served the mass audiences, and now everything seems to be targeted extremely well. Sometimes a commercial is gonna suck, because I'm not the target market.

[Meataball23]

I remember now...the laser beam thing was absurd

[KnoxHarrington]

Yeah, advertisers don't care about the overall audience size anymore. So if you watch something that isn't really aimed at your particular demographic, the ads are not for you.

[underdog]

its easier, and cheaper.

and you get more variety.

Not to mention if you take chances with some random shows you can find some gems.

[KnoxHarrington]

We get it. You download tv shows. Congratulations.

Here's the thing: I think I'd rather pay for the specific shows I want to watch rather than my overall cable bill.

Like I think I'd rather pay for a subscription to download a new episode of "Breaking Bad" than pay to have AMC, or pay for "True Blood" instead of HBO as a whole. I'd probably end up saving money.

[epo]

Exactly.

This same concept also applies to Fez and the Tonight Show w/Conan O'Brien.

It may be cheaper, but its much easier just picking up a remote and pointing it at my television.

[KnoxHarrington]

Exactly.

This same concept also applies to Fez and the Tonight Show w/Conan O'Brien.

Despite all the headlines about Letterman beating Conan, my bet is a lot of advertisers see Conan's show as more desirable.

[west milly Tom]

Cruel circus the face of Ronfez.net. Take that Mr. Vac.

[realmenhatelife]

Ixnay on the beat to death at Citizens Bank Park talk as someone was literally beaten to death outside of the park on Saturday, stemming from a bachelor party fight.

[epo]

Despite all the headlines about Letterman beating Conan, my bet is a lot of advertisers see Conan's show as more desirable.

NBC does great with that concept. Its the same theory that makes Olbermann more desirable than O'Reilly.

[JimmieHats]

Gboy. lulz.

Wait...its illegal to breastfeed in public?

I had no idea

Why you got to bring that up.

Dave's analogy was surprisingly a pretty good one.

Why you got to bring that up.

franklyyyyyn franklyyyyn franklyyyyyyyyyn

[Misteriosa]

Wait...its illegal to breastfeed in public?

I had no idea

its isnt in NYC. you are allowed to go topless.

edit: and anyone who went to last years "day off the internet" picnic can attest to that

[EliSnow]

When my wife breast fed our girls, she covered her self so you couldn't see anything whatsoever.

[epo]

Meh.

Take your personal likes/dislikes out of the equation.


Conan delivers the 18-35 demographic, Letterman delivers a general demographic.
Olbermann delivers the 18-45 demographic, O'Reilly a general demographic.


Its a very effective way to sell ad-space during programming.

[The Thadd]

All I ask is that woman cover herself with a blanket or something, while breast feeding.

[Charlie_Don't_Surf]

I agree. If women can't breast feed in public then gay guys shouldn't be allowed to show gay passion in public. I'm willing to sacrifice the nutrition of babies the world over to stop gay guys from kissing in public.

i pay 45/mnth for that.

[Misteriosa]

i really dont like it when a woman has to go to a bathroom stall to feed the baby. why dont you take your lunch in there to eay and see how you like it.

[The Thadd]

Women who breastfeed in public with her breast hanging out, do so because they want to make a statement.

If the woman coveres up, it is no big deal

[west milly Tom]

I want to see tit, enough of this covering up stuff.

[The Thadd]

i really dont like it when a woman has to go to a bathroom stall to feed the baby. why dont you take your lunch in there to eay and see how you like it.

no one has to get naked for me to eat. thats why

[~Katja~]

if Fez sees the bare tit then he is staring... mind your own business and keep walking

[Sanguine]

I don't understand how a man, gay/asexual monkey or not, can feel so damaged by being in the vicinity of an uncovered breast in public. Look somewhere else if it pains you so much.

[realmenhatelife]

Why do adults get shitfaced hammered drunk in public? Am I just a stick in the mud that I really cant believe that it happens after college?

[epo]

no one has to get naked for me to eat. thats why

Then you don't dine in the fine establishments that I do.

i show nips at that beach,never heard a complaint

[Meataball23]

[biggestmexi]

why is it wrong for breastfeeding baby in public but ok for Fez to stare at children playing while sitting on a park bench with his pants around his ankles masturbating?

[RhinoinMN]

Oh no, its a tit in public! RUN, RUN...!!!!.

Or at least get a nut off while watching. It could make you feel better, right up until you get arrested.

Leave gay aqualung alone!!!

[Misteriosa]

she's not taking off her clothes. its one breast. its a vital function in that baby's life.

just because you put your sexual connotations on mom feeding a baby, doenst mean its dirty.

and its not just a fluid, its FOOD.

[Chob]

Why do adults get shitfaced hammered drunk in public? Am I just a stick in the mud that I really cant believe that it happens after college?
I agree. It always aggravates me at concerts and anywhere else people are acting stupid due to alcohol.

[Meataball23]

Why do adults get shitfaced hammered drunk in public? Am I just a stick in the mud that I really cant believe that it happens after college?

Its really annoying. One of the worst days to be a bartender in college was for homecoming...older people coming back to school all got f-ing hammered and were just as, if not more, annoying than the asshole 21yr olds.

[The Thadd]

LOL.. that was a stupid call about watching two guys beat eachother in a cage. WHat a tool.

[epo]

I can't imagine the sexual hang-ups Fez has built up over the years.

[EliSnow]

I dont find Ron Wrong a lot, but this is one of them.

You're in a very small minority on this one.

[~Katja~]

Fez is not a fan of any affection... period
