    Yeah, Pareene, like a review of yore. Aww, for some reason today, I miss the days of FNFF on this post. Am I the last to remember it or this:

    @DevilsAvocadoRedux: Yeah, Avo. If only we could just start posting random punk bands from the 80's. and saying things like, "Let's get drunk and watch bad Friday Night Teevee while flirting shamelessly, and then someone talks about boobs! Because someone always talked about their boobs.

    @Spirit Fingers: Oh, yeah, SF. But the funniest thing for me was that it was actually a SMFF - Saturday Morning F-Fest. So I'd be sitting here, sober as a judge, whilst the rest of you degenerates dissolved into a drunken mess, half a world away. Good times.

    Thank you for Depeche. Here's a literal A-Ha for you. Did you ever see this clip? It cracks me up every time..."Everything's drawn and super '80s". Heh heh.

    Anyhoo - what I said was... The funniest thing about the FNFF was that in my neck of the woods it was a Saturday Morning FF, so I'd be sitting here with my espresso and cereal, watching you splendid degenerates dissolve into a drunken mess, half a world away. Good times.

    Million thanks for Depeche. Here, for you, is Literal A-Ha. Have you seen it? Always cracks me up. "Everything's drawn and super 80s".

    @DevilsAvocadoRedux: OMG! That was freakin awesome! I never saw that. Um, that's my new "email joke." "Pipe Wrench Figghhhhhtttt!" Yeah, classic.

    Yeah, near the end to an FNFF we'd be like completely obliterated. Nothing was funnier than NotAnderson and his schitzo beach ball routine at like four in the morning. (Posting his Avatar holding a beach ball on opposite sides like he was having a conversation with himself for like an entire page.)

    Now for a little deciphered "Come On Eileen."

    Does this mean you want to be King or Ruler of Socks or something? That seems a bit self-serving. Wishes only work on monetary requests, food and beverage, and liberal agenda, maybe cake too. Kingship is waayyyy too indoctrinating.

    Goin to bed now, Avo. Nice FNFFing with you!

    That was exhausting, Alex. Still, you forgot to note how in the video of "Bad Romance" Lady Gaga managed to get her spine protruding far enough behind the rest of her to use as a rudder. Or was that last week?

    Biden was the most inscrutable choice, ever, for VP. Instead of "change" Obama brought out an old hack, who had trouble with both truth telling, even during the campaign, and with inserting his foot into his mouth. Oh, to know what kind of negotiation that was, to get him on the ticket---except, perhaps to allay terrified old white guys who feared a woman and a (half)black man on the ticket would bring on the apocalypse. #joebiden

    Joe Biden is everything thats wrong and fucked up with congress. This dope won his seat in the Senate when he was 29 and has never had another job until being VP. He has learned about as much about how the country works from his perch in DC as Palin learned about Russia from staring at it. He is walking proof we need term limits.

    And he doesn't drink. I don't trust people who don't drink, unless they've already been alcoholics. #joebiden

    Why is it that I feel compelled to defend Gawker's subject matter against the editors/writers at least once a day lately?

    Either this new crop of staff writers is utterly fucked, or the editorial direction has taken a nosedive, or both.

    Is there some negative correlation between the quality of stories and the quality of AJAX/CSS? #joebiden

    @Motoko Kusanagi: Oh yeah, I didn't mean to quibble. I agree that the site gets fancier all the time, but features seem to break often. I should have added before that it could well be my OS and browser causing headaches most readers don't experience. And in all fairness, I haven't been reading long enough to judge contemporary content against the past. #joebiden

    Not sure what point you're trying to make, Amrita... that you think Cheney's worldview makes some sense? That Cheney was initially popular, before everything he did brought his popularity rating to a low of 28%? I love it that Biden is willing to call a moron a moron.

    I'm absolutely NOT a supporter of ANYTHING Dick says... but, Good Lawwd, Biden, Bin Laden will always BE a part of the issue. I'm sorry, I guess if you had the prez saying this I could understand... but, uh, Joe? Nope.

    That being said, why are we posting crap from Fox News anyway - I thought we weren't supposed to take this stuff seriously?

    Considering the picture used for this post, when I saw the "And a guy won a prize!" line I got really excited and thought that we finally had a new photo of Nikki Finke... then I remembered that whole Obama-winning-the-Nobel-Peace-Prize thing.
