Cocaine's one helluva drug?

Kingfish, does the fact that Samantha was described on a recent episode as taking care of her new baby and shown in a photograph with baby on her tit count as an "unconfirmed report"?

That was, easily, the best use of a nursing mother photo I've ever seen.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 23 January 2006 20:05 (twenty years ago)

Certainly, in that I didn't see that ep and didn't they had gone with that bit.

this says it all

Back in 2002, when I was Nerve dating, I met a very attractive and seemingly cool woman. Our profiles showed we were both into hip-hop, specifically Talib Kweli, she was at a non-profit while getting her post-grad degree and lived just a few neighborhoods away in Brooklyn.

Ooh, maybe Ed Helms will get to present Monday's show.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Monday, 6 February 2006 22:45 (twenty years ago)

I saw him on Friday having breakfast in a restaurant with the other baby.

― Redd Harvest (Ken L), Monday, 6 February 2006 22:50 (twenty years ago)

The website says tonight is a repeat

jon stewart is a man with healthy sperms.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 18:53 (twenty years ago)

Lewis Black is getting his own show, which explains where he's been lately.

He's calling it "Red State Diaries."

Really..

― kingfish has gene rayburn's mic (kingfish 2.0), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 19:32 (twenty years ago)

Well, at least he's off the Daily Show.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 21:01 (twenty years ago)

two weeks pass...

Jason Jones is pretty studly for a comedian.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 23 February 2006 14:43 (twenty years ago)

He's also not very comedic for a comedian.

― richardk (Richard K), Thursday, 23 February 2006 16:12 (twenty years ago)

The baby thing was the best so far, I think.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 23 February 2006 18:03 (twenty years ago)

the "let's ridicule foreigners and their media coverage" is getting really REALLY tired.

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 23 February 2006 18:05 (twenty years ago)

Jon was on Larry King

KING: You don't want Medicare to fail?

STEWART: Are you insane?

KING: No.

― kingfish, Wednesday, 1 March 2006 02:14 (twenty years ago)

(talking about hosting the Oscars)

KING: Are you going to have a spectacular opening?

STEWART: Oh!

KING: A Billy Crystal kind of thing, a dance, a dance?

STEWART: As you know I am a triple threat.

KING: Are you going to do something? Are you going to dance?

STEWART: I'm going to -- I have been studying some of the openings. I've got a Gene Kelly (INAUDIBLE) that is going to blow you away. It's going to be a -- I'm sorry, did I say Gene Kelly? I meant Gene Rayburn.

KING: That's too hip for them.

STEWART: It's too hip for the room, all right, fair enough.

"He tore a phone book in half and fucked a Coke machine."

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 9 March 2006 04:15 (twenty years ago)

the new guy(?) in the first segment was great, no one else has done it that low-key(more think tank wonk than fake reporter), I hope he's a regular.

― tremendoid (tremendoid), Thursday, 9 March 2006 04:24 (twenty years ago)

i liked that guy a lot too.

― Knute Rockne, All American (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 9 March 2006 04:25 (twenty years ago)

Me thirded.

Was Neil Young wearing *exactly* the same outfit he wore onstage in the movie?

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 9 March 2006 04:27 (twenty years ago)

which new guy? jason jones or the frumpy balding guy?

― kingfish da notorious teletabby (kingfish 2.0), Thursday, 9 March 2006 04:31 (twenty years ago)

a new new guy. the bald guy is getting better too though. his thing on the minnesota jail last night was great.

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 9 March 2006 04:34 (twenty years ago)

It's unanimous, even TDS sound like frothing reactionaries on Barry Bonds and steroids.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 9 March 2006 14:31 (twenty years ago)

Last night I learned that Neil Young and I both have a dog named Carl. WE HAVE A PSYCHIC CONNECTION, clearly.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 9 March 2006 14:39 (twenty years ago)

I think John Hodgeman is a first case where somebody brought on as a guest talking about their book (The Areas of My Expertise) winds up becoming a guest correspondent. I hope to see more of him, too.

The long, long pause between "He tore a phonebook in half and tried to fuck a coke machine" and Jon's response was pretty priceless. Dr Morbius, you think I'm a frothing reactionary. Me!

― TOMBOT, Thursday, 9 March 2006 15:04 (twenty years ago)

not generally!

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 9 March 2006 15:08 (twenty years ago)

Haha I really don't think that the Daily Show segment could be called "frothing," it should more be called "an excuse to claim Barry Bonds ripped a phone book in half and then fucked a Coke machine."

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Thursday, 9 March 2006 15:15 (twenty years ago)

Also "an excuse to claim a random Chinese man turned into a panda".

― Dan (THAT'S RACIST.gif) Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 9 March 2006 15:37 (twenty years ago)

It's unanimous, even TDS sound like frothing reactionaries on Barry Bonds and steroids.

and one should be a liberal on this issue because...

morbs likes small balls, he's rumpie's antipode re: up in yr mouth.

Its good for the kids! Look at the EXCITEMENT they generated! THE HOME RUNS!!!!!

"The effect of performance-enhancing drugs on a ballplayer’s abilities remains to be defined. McGwire and Bonds do not make a study proving their effect. Surely they made these men bigger than they would have been otherwise. But Gabe Kapler is a big man, and he hasn’t hit many home runs. Cecil Fielder contained more pure fat than a double-stuff Oreo and he popped 50 a year. Jason Giambi, in his post-whatever phase (“Whatever” standing in for the mostly unclarified/unconfirmed aspects of his story) slugged .535 last year. Check out the list of players who have been caught since testing began. There aren’t any McGwires in the group, just a lot of hapless minor leaguers. Whatever the effect of the drugs, they apparently have to be earned, or accompanied by a whole lot of natural ability, or both. The ball also has to be loaded up, as it clearly has been since the late 1990s. If Bonds took a time machine and some Winstrol back to 1906 he’d still top out at 15 home runs because that’s what the prevailing conditions allowed for.

This should not be construed as an excuse or an apology for Bonds. What he did was wrong, and if, the story is correct in its particulars, motivated entirely by a childish jealousy. He’s a rat. Yet the story of exactly what he got out of his increased bulk, to what degree the record-setting seasons are attributable to this Popeye eating the spinach, that is not a simple matter, regardless of what the chronology of the story seems to imply."

OK seriously what point is this trying to make?

I'm all for quoting the YES Network though :D

Rafeal Palmeiro is a hapless minor leaguer?

But what point does it make, regardless of the veracity of the statement?

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Thursday, 9 March 2006 21:28 (twenty years ago)

Ally, I really can't explain baseball and film in a way to get through to you, I've got maybe 40 years left.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 9 March 2006 21:29 (twenty years ago)

So you're racist AND sexist.

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Thursday, 9 March 2006 21:30 (twenty years ago)

What is so difficult to understand about the question? Throwing in some "Only suck ass players get caught" thing in the middle of the paragraph seems to undermine everything a little bit. OF COURSE there is no McGwires in the list. That is the POINT of the Spanish Inquisition going on in baseball all of a sudden. Too many people bitching about them scapegoating the little guy in a dog-and-pony "drug testing" show when yr Bonds and McGwires are "ruining baseball" and taking the records from "honorable old players" and shit like that.

The effect of bullshit accounting practices on a company's net worth have yet to be defined.

Lots of companies have been busted since anybody besides the corrupt and moribund SEC started giving a flying fuck about accounting practices; most of them hapless sub-Fortune 1000 operations. Whatever the effect of the fudging, it apparently has to be earned, or accompanied by a lot of natural ability, or both. The market has to be loaded up, as it clearly has been since the late 1990s. If Enron took a time machine and a second set of books back to 1906 they'd still have gone belly-up because that's what the prevailing conditions allowed for.
