Tracy Morgan

Tanner:  Top Five Tracy Jordan quotes:

5 – Pigeon! Stop eating other people's French fries! Don't you know you can fly?

4 - Affirmative action was designed to keep women and minorities in competition with each other to distract us while white dudes inject AIDS into our chicken nuggets. That's a metaphor.

3 – I can’t go to the party because of my ankle bracelet…or maybe I will go and just not drink…I know! I’ll compromise. I’ll go to the party, cut off my foot, and drink as much as I want!

2 – Tell her that you want her privates and your privates to do a high five!

1 – I love this cornbread so much I want to take it behind the middle school and get it pregnant.

Danny:  I love the movie The Ladies Man. It's hilarious on several levels. Leon Phelps is a lovable, quirky character that translates really well from the little screen to the big screen. It's certainly one of the better movies made based on a Saturday Night Live skit. The movie has some really sweet quotes too, like "Say, sweet thing, can I buy you a fish sandwich?" All in all, I think that's one of Tracy Morgan's best... oh shit, I'm thinking of Tim Meadows.

Stefan:  Tracy Morgan can currently be seen on the TV show 30 Rock every week (Thursdays 9:30/8:30c) playing the character Tracy Jordan.  Some think that he makes the show with his random comments and cluelessness.  I am on the other side of that opinion.  While he is pretty funny I don’t think that he is the best part.  I find his absolute lack of common sense a bit annoying (which may seem like a double standard since I find Steve Carell’s character from the Office really funny).  I will give Tracy Morgan some credit though, he does have some great lines.   For example, nope, nevermind, I don't feel like giving any examples.

The next topic

Cilantro

Tanner:  “May I have a delicious chicken torta please? Why thank you! Now, can you take a bar of soap and a cheese grater and go to town sprinkling flakes of Irish Spring all over the food I just paid $3.75 for and completely ruin it?” That’s how I feel when I get food with cilantro on it. It’s the devil’s herb. Many people think I am odd when I tell them that I despise cilantro. Often I get these responses: “But it’s so refreshing!” Yeah, so is Axe body wash, but I don’t want to put a bunch of that in my beef ball pho. “I think you just need to get used to it.” I think you need to get used to my fist in your mouth. Cilantro is terrible. I would rather eat out the rotten eye socket of a road-killed possum.  I would rather gargle dog diarrhea. I would rather floss my teeth with a wildebeest’s ass hair. Cilantro fucking sucks, it sucking fucks, and I don’t like it.

Danny:  Some people think that cilantro tastes good. Some people think that cilantro tastes like soap. Apparently it's thought to be genetic. I think cilantro tastes good. Tanner thinks that cilantro tastes like soap. However, Tanner's dislike of cilantro does give him the opportunity to work on his Spanish while talking to the cute woman who works at the taco truck. So all in all, I think we can all agree that cilantro is pretty good.

Stefan:   Cilantro (or Coriandrum sativum as we in the biz call it) is an herb that is excellent in many Mexican foods.  I enjoy it very much but it must be in moderation.  It is meant to be an addition to food, not the main stay.  Too much of it can ruin a meal.  A little bit of info about cilantro.  Cilantro’s nomenclature is somewhat confusing.  The entire plant and the seeds are properly named coriander, while the leaves alone are cilantro. Colloquially, the entire plant and leaves are referred to as cilantro and only the seeds as coriander.  Cilantro is also referred to as Chinese parsley.  Some things to know about cilantro, it grows in the ground.  It is a plant.  While it is in many Mexican foods it cannot speak Spanish.  Cilantro needs water to stay alive.  Water is wet.  When water gets very hot it will bubble or "boil".  Another fun tidbit about cilantro, it is green.

I find this almost creepy, but really fascinating.

Topics!!!

It has taken a while to get these going but hopefully now the ball is rolling. The three of us received ten more topics last weeks. Two different readers provided us with 5 topics. As it has taken a while for us to get them answered I will post one topic a day. Here we go.

Modern Day Pirates  

Tanner: Modern day pirates – I heard about the guilty verdict last week finding the people who run “The Pirate’s Bay” liable for making money off of illegally downloaded movies and software.  I have a hard time with this verdict, as I love free things 

(especially music and movies) but I think it was a fair decision. However, I am really confused about why they hate Barack Obama so much. And why do we need snipers positioned to take them out? And how do they get enough bandwidth to run a file

-sharing site in Somalia? Here is a picture of what I imagine they look like that I drew on a post-it note:

Danny:  I don't have much to say about this situation and think we're about a week late on this, since South Park already covered it. Probably my fault, since it took me so long to get something written. It's sad that Somalia has deteriorated to the point that piracy is seen as viable option for some people. It's great that the Navy SEALS can kick some ass when necessary. I did think The Daily Show had a pretty good take. The expensive computer recreation was impressive.

Stefan:  Pirates used to be fun loving booze hounds that sailed around on ships and acted in ways that were completely unlawful and immoral but really entertaining.  Pirates were rock stars back then, except instead of hepatitis they had scurvy and instead of sleeping with tons of women they had questionable sexuality.  What the modern day Somali pirates are doing wrong is that they are advertising themselves terribly.  They need to stop acting like desperate ocean thieves and instead as fun loving rebels who are constantly drunk off rum.  Maybe they should put on some funny jewelry or goofy boots for starts.  They also need to sing more often.  Those are just some basic ideas to get their image changed and get the public support that they need.

Paul Potts

People have been going crazy for the Susan Boyle lady. I have to say I am a bigger fan of Paul Potts.
