Yeah it's no problem. I'm available most nights so we'll find a time. Shoot me a pm when you get back into town.

Yeah I have to disagree about not caring about the characters. I really like how Crixus, Gannicus, and Spartacus have developed and I feel a lot more invested in them now than in previous seasons. Regarding Naevia, I think my biggest gripe with her isn't the actress (although that's a close...

I really like the pirates. They provide an extra level of strife within the slave army and explain how Spartacus is (barely) feeding all his people. I'm glad they didn't gloss over that extremely major point. Plus this episode started some sort of a feint or trap against Crassus that Spartacus...

I was surprised at the quality of both of the anthems they created in this last episode. I'm curious how much help they were given in terms of lyrics and ideas. I imagine the producers had a big stake in making the songs at least somewhat marketable.

Insanity? I don't know a ton about it, but I believe it's the next "step", so to speak, after P90X. Or you could try that Diamond Dallas Page Yoga that is so popular in screenshots at the moment. Apparently it can make cripples walk again.

What about continuing teams vs. new teams? I don't mind people starting a new team for a new season, but eventually we're going to run into some massive TV differences between new teams and those that have gone for 2+ seasons.

If anything is going to expose Oliver it will be his little crime fighting gang discussing their secret plans in loud voices at a crowded diner. Seriously though, with shows like this you have to just ignore the little absurdities and enjoy the cheesy, action-filled ride.

Given the history of drama escalation with this community I honestly would not be surprised at something like those examples.

I love this community so much. All the delicious drama over the years...if I were to try and explain half of what went on here to people they'd think it was completely fabricated.

Don't underestimate the stupidity of the average Walmart-going American.

Are you really that busy that you can post on forums yet you can't have Skype or some other random Spanish chatroom open to chat with people in? You can't write an e-mail to a Spanish penpal a couple times a week? Really? That's absurd. Voice is ideal, but you don't have to limit yourself to...

How the hell are any of those "idealistic and utterly impractical"? All of them are just different variations on language partners, which is an extremely tried-and-true method of learning a language. You speak English and, guess what, millions of Hispanics in the USA want to learn it and...

Freaks and Geeks

Cubans are the best tortilla rollers, actually. If you ever stop by a Chipotle staffed by Dominicans, move along. They roll those burritos way too tightly.

This is the main thing about Rosetta Stone. Like I said, it's basically just super expensive flash cards. That's fine as a supplement, but you will not reach any sort of conversational fluency with Rosetta Stone as your only tool.

Rosetta Stone is an enormous waste of money. It's glorified flash cards. Even the theory behind their "learn like a baby" approach, or whatever it's called, is pretty much bullshit in my opinion. If you go through the whole program you'll have a tourist-level understanding of basic Spanish...

Yeah, I kind of agree with you. Although, to be fair, they have portrayed Oliver numerous times as an extremely stubborn individual who only does and believes what he wants. It's not like Diggle doubts the mom's guilt; it's just Oliver refusing to accept it.

Because customers are stubborn idiots and they will bitch and moan until their exact request is fulfulled. It's far easier to simply remove the gratuity (which is the exact request of the customer) than to comp a menu item and then risk the stupid customer not understanding that it's basically...

I'm curious if you worked in a chain restaurant. Mom and Pop places might stick to their guns on not removing a gratuity, but almost all chain restaurants will do whatever the fuck a customer asks them to do because the people at that location don't want corporate to come down on them. Even if...

I've always greatly preferred California Tortilla to Chipotle. Plus they've got a fantastic selection of hot sauces.

Epic stunty league match between my halfings and Restless' goblins. Result? Two dead trolls. Crazy.

I think most places have gotten rid of them by now, but as of a couple years ago I would still occasionally run into an old ass McDonalds on road trips where you'd see the empty burger chute behind the registers.

Little Caesar's Hot and Ready Pizza would like to have a word with you. Sorry to break it to you, but I've waited longer for food at McDonald's than I have at 5 Guys. Since every fast food place lets you customize your order none of them are 100% "fast" anymore and it all depends on what you...

It's a sports marketing/advertising company. I guess it's technically unclear that they are successful, but that's the impression I've gotten. They're hiring more people (as evidenced by Darrel), the office is pretty swank, they're having meetings with athletes, and Jim isn't stressing about it...

Makes sense to me. I don't have any problem with it.

Doesn't matter because the company is turning out to be incredibly successful. Only a woman would hold onto that "going straight to max investment" shit.

Yeah this is the biggest mistake people make when trying to eat better/healthier. It's incredibly hard to "guesstimate" your food portions unless you've been accurately measuring them for a while. Half the people who post stuff on forums like "I'm eating cleanly but not losing weight" aren't...

The actor playing Slade Wilson/Crixus does a MUCH better acting job on Arrow than on Spartacus. I think he's improved overall from season 1 - 3 of Spartacus, but even still he plays a relatively dumb brute so the majority of his "acting" on Spartacus is screaming and looking intimidating. I was...

Great! I was looking for you all weekend. I should be online in IRC tonight after 7ish EST.

Contact Chuy's (whatever the fuck that is, never heard of it) corporate and complain about how their staff acted. You'll be drowning in gift cards.

People who breathe audibly.

I'm going to take this opportunity to come clean... I'm not really the Mayor of McDonaldland. I apologize for my deception.

Yeah they made it a point to show that he has the same tattoo as the daughter. My guess is that it's a mark of whatever order/martial art/clan/etc. that Yao Fei is a member of and eventually we'll see how Oliver gets inducted into it. I'm assuming that's how Oliver will get his bow skills...

I'd be careful using logic like this. The vast majority of personal trainers are broscience-espousing idiots who make bodybuilding.com forum posters look intelligent. Regarding carbs vs. no carbs, I'm sure there is lots of science and research to back up both sides, but let's be honest. The...

I thought I wanted to get into computer programming. Then I learned to program (C++) and I realized I absolutely hated it. Before jumping into it headlong I'd see if you really enjoy writing code. Some do, some don't, and it would be better to know whether you do or not before you get halfway...

I'm guessing she's been to your place a time or two. If she knows where you live you're a dead man. You can either stay in the relationship and hope she tries to end it herself or you can be murdered in your sleep. Sorry.

Sounds like the perfect excuse to live in food heaven and pound nothing but pizza rolls all day every day.

Pretty much this for me as well. I think it's impossible to answer with an absolute "never", because no matter how much you don't want to do something there is always some chance you'll be put in a situation where it might happen. Some people just seem more willing to put themselves into such...

Looks Alright? What the fuck, this looks atrocious. First "The Watch" and now this garbage. Oh Vince Vaughn, how far you've fallen!

I was a little surprised at Caesar's appearance (then again, I've never really read or even thought about how he looked) but I really like how they're portraying his personality. I can see how this young guy will eventually turn into one of Rome's great generals and its first dictator. He's got...
