yeah i havent seen it here, and i avoided everything avatar related until i saw it anyways, so there you have it.

my buddies made one of our other buddies see UP! in 3d and he is blind in one eye and said it was blurry the entire time.

It's Drew!

[aloneatlastnj]

bah, conan not hosting the tonight show if it's forced to move to 12:05. sure, it's a business but that's really shitty of them to dick him over the way they have. i bet he goes to fox now and becomes their late night staple.

[Drew Beringer]

he has been ripping NBC and Leno in his monologues recently, which has been hilarious.

absolutely. last night's monologue had me in stitches.

wow when i just logged in it said i had 5203 quoted messages

[pand75]

yeah i had that too

[aloneatlastnj]

yeah i had something like over 6,000 before. i thought there was some massive flood or something.

[Broken Parachute]

So I smoked for the first time (and last time) last night. I was so unbelievably high. I never want to feel like that again. I'm glad I tried it so now I know I never want to again.

if it's not for you, it's not for you. i'm not the biggest pot smoker on the planet, but i get such terrible, debilitating migraines and i've found that smoking makes me feel so much better.

[imirish06]

I found that the smell of pot is what turns me off the most. I think it smells disgusting

[CarlosLunes]

the smell of pot is what turns me on the most, and i dont smoke

you are severely underestimating newark, nj. also sour D is pretty much the best shit out there right now

[guccimaneburrrr]

what is canadian weed like? i know you guys have pretty lax laws up there, well at least in BC i know they do.

[pand75]

yeah BC is where it's at with that kind of stuff. Ottawa has pretty crappy weed. I don't smoke anymore, but it was really dry the few times i've had it here, but on every 4:20. Everyone goes on Parliament Hill (like thousands of people) and smokes right infront of Parliament.

Montreal's weed is so much better. I don't know too much about the different types but my huge pothead friend had some incredible, easy stuff.

can't say i've ever had jersey weed. what is the cannabis club situation like on the east coast?

His statement was spot-on. Seriously, if NBC wanted Leno to continue hosting the Tonight Show they should have just paid Conan the $45 million and let him be on his way instead of being dicked around and set up to fail. Yes, NBC will save something like $20 million but it's at the price of a nasty PR hit and tarnishing one of their top brands.

wow when i just logged in it said i had 5203 quoted messages
Same, I thought someone went off on me or something.

he has been ripping NBC and Leno in his monologues recently, which has been hilarious.
What's sad is this is probably the best Conan's been at since he started the Tonight Show and will actually get him good ratings.

[we are cured]

it's basically the same stuff you get, we just have less variety because its obviously way more illegal here. any time you have a major city or cities you're going to have groups that grow the shit themselves which is what most of the crazy weed is, and though there are hybrids you're usually looking similar strains across the country. the outdoor stuff is usually imported. i don't know what a cannabis club is but if you're referring to getting a medicinal weed card, NJ just passed the law but it's going to be pretty strict to get one. i will probably be done with smoking by the time its legalized so its not that big of a deal to me.

[guccimaneburrrr]

we have more cannabis clubs in the la area than we do mcdonalds, starbucks, subways, burger kings and wendys combined.

[guccimaneburrrr]

getting a club card in california is like getting a drivers license. i have back pain, can't sleep, have migranes, etc. they will give it to you. i don't have one myself but know people that do so it the product is very accesible.

i know it's going to be pretty strict to get on a medical marijuana list or get a card or something here in NJ, but my doctor has been saying for some time now that he thinks it'd be the best thing for me to do. i've taken pretty strong anti-seizure and epilepsy meds in the past with some strong side effects, had to get cranial pressure and all sorts of neurological tests done but i already know how i respond to marijuana. hopefully it's not just for MS/cancer patients or something. i really need to read up on it.

Watched The Union:The Business Behind Getting High last night. If you haven't seen it, get on it.

this knee jerk reaction to poor ratings is in such poor taste, does NBC really think this will fix the problem?

poor ratings is having a trickle down effect to both conan and fallon's shows - did they ever think it wasn't the time slot that was the problem, but how shitty the jay leno show is? the guy has become such a hack in the industry.

[bigmike]

I know 11:35 slot is different than the 12:35 slot, but Conan wasn't lighting up the ratings back when he started, so I'm not sure the rush to kick him out of the slot now after they stuck with him for 15 years at 12:35.

[S/T]

Does anyone have any videos of the monologues with him ripping on NBC?

[CubbyNick42]

There's one up at Slashfilm.

Finally saw 500 Days of Summer, great flick. Lovin Zooey now.

[deadstar]

Hulu has entire episodes of The Tonight Show up.

haha sorry for the momentary thread takeover

[dont you move]

my buddies made one of our other buddies see UP! in 3d and he is blind in one eye and said it was blurry the entire time.

i went on a 3d ride once and accidentally put the glasses on upsidedown and it worked better haha. i woulda tried it for avatar if the 3d showing didn't sell out that morning.

[guccimaneburrrr]

i don't think weed should be a taboo subject in this thread

[we are cured]

i dont think so either but it's usually a polarizing topic for smokers and conservative non smokers

[preppyak]

Finally saw 500 Days of Summer, great flick. Lovin Zooey now.
Yeah, I hadn't really liked much of her stuff before it...but she definitely nailed that role.

[guccimaneburrrr]

Minka Kelly is what made that movie for me.

[CarlosLunes]

minka kelly is perfect

I've pretty much had it with firefox and all the freezing, can anyone recommend anything else?

Have you been able to get espn360 to work with chrome?

Because Zooey Deschanel is fucking perfect.

Yes she is.

He sounds that way in all of his interviews. He's the best part of the Browns' preseason because he does the play-by-play along with the usual guy. On top of sounding like he's drunk (or being drunk, whichever), he also gives some pretty good insight.

[Drew Beringer]

The new OK Go album is really good. Also the two new Bled songs on their myspace are brutal, reminds me of PTF!

[Drew Beringer]

Her sister is hotter.

I completely disagree.

[Broken Parachute]

if it's not for you, it's not for you. i'm not the biggest pot smoker on the planet, but i get such terrible, debilitating migraines and i've found that smoking makes me feel so much better.Yeah, true...I figured I would try it, especially since I was in good company (I was with my best friend, his cousin who is 21 and his brother who is 25). At first it was really bad because we did it in one of their cars...and I'm kinda claustrophobic and I used to have anxiety problems. Once we went into the house, I felt so much better...and I felt sort of like everything my friends were saying made complete sense even though it definitely didn't. Then I ate the greatest chicken parm hero ever at 3am, and I just sat on his cousin's couch playing NHL10 with him the rest of the night. It wasn't a terrible experience, but at first it was really bad...I felt like I wasn't controlling my arms and legs, and they were like burning but not with pain, just like vibrating...almost as if I was on autopilot, haha. My friend said for my first time, I took some really ridiculous rips which was stupid on my part, but whatever. I don't think I'll ever do it again, especially since I'd rather be drunk than high.

haze/piff smells like heaven.I believe it was this.

[Drew Beringer]

if you want to re-follow me on twitter, it's just the same address. if you want to make fun of me, you are free to do that as well.

He looked like a character from Vice City in that documentary. I laughed almost every time they showed him.

haha this whole Leno-NBC screw up has brought out the best in Conan and Letterman recently, holy moly their jokes have been on point.

I liked the other night when he first came out and the audience kept cheering and he goes "Thank you, thank you. Ladies and gentlemen please, if you keep that up this monologue won't start 'til 12:05."

what colors do you prefer/what's your price range?

Probably $50-60, I mean I obviously don't need something flashy/brand new. I saw some decent ones on sale today at the mall, but I didn't know much about them, didn't feel like trying shit on.

I really don't care. I'd use them only to play basketball. Just don't want all one color.

Might just pick up a pair of superstars or the d-wades.

[Scott Weber]

these might be out of the price range you stated, but these are a solid basketball shoe for a good price: http://www.finishline.com/store/product/nike-air-max-turnaround-mens-basketball-shoe/_/A-32306?categoryId=cat10003&productId=prod649877

otherwise the Adidas Superstars are a good bet.

i was gonna say the same thing.

still pissed that steve and barry's went under. i just recently had to buy new shoes because all my starbury's i'd stocked up on were at the end of their roads.

[CubbyNick42]

No shit, Steve and Barry's went under? I guess that's why no one sells jeans for $10.

[xbrokendownx]

fuck i loved steve and barry's

[FondestMemory]

steve and barry's went under over a year ago.

[CubbyNick42]

The nearest one was three hours away, so I'm not surprised that snuck by me.

[xbrokendownx]

haha yea, the nearest one to me was in Palisades i think so

[Drew Beringer]

never heard of the place before

[xbrokendownx]

they had a ton of cheap shit...their college t shirts were like $7

[CubbyNick42]

Not expanding to Muncie was pretty much their downfall.

[FondestMemory]

muncie would have eaten that shit up for real.

they needed to be in every college town.

Steve and Barry's did rule.
