I put a No Idea sticker on the Nintendo DS my girlfriend bought me. She's less than stoked, but I have Nick Fury comics, so I don't care.

Who else is still awake from the night before?

mikexdude (August 21, 2008)

Who do you think?

baldsteve (August 21, 2008)

Yeah dude

not from the night before, but from three hours ago when i had to get up for work.

Sleep is a waste of time. I'd rather eat pancakes and watch Freaks & Geeks.

mikexdude (August 21, 2008)

I had pancakes at 3 in the morning, it was fantastic.

lintsay (August 21, 2008)

There is never a bad time for pancakes!

crazyjoedevola (August 21, 2008)

I'm jealous!!!

kneel (August 21, 2008)

i took that as encouragement to move the freaks and geeks series to the top of my netflix queue.

unfortunately i just saw that they already shipped me friday the 13th part 2

Thus_Spoke_Sean (August 21, 2008)

there is nothing unfortunate about that.

kneel (August 21, 2008)

nothing except i already have part 1 at home, and havent watched it since roughly 1990

which is also unfortunate

crazyjoedevola (August 21, 2008)

I just thought I'd share that I'm almost through the first disc of Arrested Development season 1. It truly is a great show. Thank you (and Matt, jacknife, Branden and everyone else that told me to check it out). I'd like to finish it up tomorrow while eating pancakes, but I really can't be spending money right now. Not even for pancakes :(

These people, in this band, should give up being a band and just be roadies for Gaslight Anthem.

MattRamone (August 21, 2008)

You could say that about everyone who posts on here.

iwantmorepies (August 21, 2008)

Then the org could be like Verizon's network!

mikexdude (August 21, 2008)

So we'll disappear every time I go on the metro?

red_eye_inc (August 21, 2008)

I can't wait for that band to lose steam.

mikexdude (August 21, 2008)

Hmm.. why?

red_eye_inc (August 21, 2008)

I don't think they deserve this much attention. They're a fine band and all I guess, but once some of the hype pressure is off they'll just be another band in the mix making reasonable music. This whole "they're amazing and are going to be huge" thing is getting rather weary since they're not amazing nor will they be "huge".

red_eye_inc (August 21, 2008)

Ass-Card Records. Now there's a good name for a label.

kneel (August 21, 2008)

i fail to see what this has to do with jenna fischer

signaldistress (August 21, 2008)

absolutely terrific bunch of guys

TD99 (August 21, 2008)

Awesome band. Awesome songs.

suburbanxcore (August 21, 2008)

Best worst dudes I know. People should buy this record.

Archangel (August 21, 2008)

Too much bullshit, not enough talk about how great this band is.

But seriously Jena Berlin, you're going to Europe but Seattle is out of the question?

mean_and_average (August 21, 2008)

seattle scares us. last time we were there it ate our van.

we'd love to come back though. amazing city.
