Confession: this is the first PJ Harvey song I have ever heard. Sounds like a rawer Alanis?

In 1990s Canada, we had these youth television 'program jockeys', referred to as 'PJ' for short (i.e. PJ Phil, PJ Lauren, etc). They were always seen as fairly sad attempts by network television to be  hip and cool among kids. Unsurprisingly, the networks got it wrong and PJs tended to be loathed by most youths. I remember on occasion they would read the mountains of hate mail they received on air, which was probably the only time young Canadians were actually entertained by them. Anyway, you see where I'm going with this, whenever I heard people talking about 'PJ Harvey', I just assumed she was one of these clowns with a record deal.

Jeez I wonder what's going to happen next...

Fav GNR song...

+1 on Will Ferrel. No idea what everyone was on about. Even in his SNL days he wasn't funny. I guess the joke was that he physically looks like a stable, middle-aged dude but would randomly yell out something like 'I drive a Dodge Stratus!' (or whatever) at moments when it's awkward to do so. It's half funny the first time I guess, but I would have never guessed a person could build a successful comedic career around that one joke. I think he was part of that SNL era where the show seemed to confuse nonsensical randomness with comedy.

Can't not love this song.  (This is the beer talking I swear!) 

I've always thought this video is cool looking.

Cheers dudes!

It is rare that I turn a movie off even half-way through but this is the first time that, after 20 minutes watching, I've had to fumble for the control, pray I found the stop button fast enough, and then pop the screen the finger and say, our loud, "Fuck you!".

I present to you: Holmes And Watson. May it be played endlessly on repeat to child-molesters in Hell.

I had the exact same problem with Napoleon Dynamite.
If you think Holmes and Watson was bad, then you've not watched people literally saying "duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh" for half an hour.

I thought "surely this can't be the entire film" but after half an hour, I realized it was.

Haha different strokes I guess. I think the movie was pulling the 'dude' stuff in tongue-in-cheek way and that was part of the joke. I wouldn't say it was my favourite movie, but I just thought the movie had a few moments that were funny because some of the characters were so laughably awful (i.e. Napoleon Dynamite's brother that's so into the internet). 

  that indeed sounds like a terrible movie. Thanks for the heads up!

sorry  so stupid but I can't stop laughing 

Nice one, Jack.

Ugh weekend where are you. This little number is helping me get by.

  thanks Ms Hunt

Very good, Blondbraid. 

Can you guys provide a translation?

Wow that's in Japan, right? Yeah, I think east Asia is lightyears ahead of the rest of the planet. When I lived in China, you could access mobile networks with more data than most people need (I never ran out, for example) for less than $50 USD a month! Granted it was restricted Chinese internet (i.e. no Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc), but with a cheapish VPN you were up and running.

I think the problem here is that there is no competition in telecom. Most countries only have one or two providers, so they carve the monopoly up and work together to kep their sh*t service super expensive. It's so infuriating! 

I hate telecom companies in the Arabian Gulf. Overpriced, horrible service, hidden and very sneaky charges. I'm paying several hundred USD$ a month for the privilege of having to reset my router several times a day. Even then I'm often unable to connect certain devices (like for example my laptop is connected at the moment but the TV isn't). There isn't a limit on the number of devices that can connect; it just simply does not work and the service dummies can't figure it out.

My gears are so grounded! 

Inca II menu theme music is terrific! Wish it were a longer track.

Haha I typed the above before opening Mandle's spoiler. Useful little disclaimer! 

So many inappropriate possibilities...

You've got to embed these, mate. This old tune was great, but honestly I kind of lost the plot at 'the bull that gored my dad'. wtf  Otherwise the relaxing vibe reminds me of Lawrence Welk, and that midcentury American big band sound:
