This site is great for organizing your DVD's and CD's. A great way to show your friends what you've got. (We share movies all the time)

Here's my collection.

The DVD section is fairly complete, I'm sure I'm forgetting at least 10 or so. The music section is not nearly complete. At some point I'll finish it up. The game section is lame. I think it's geared more towards console games (ps2, xbox, gamecube), I generally only play PC games.

Well, lets see... We know where you live, we know where you work, we know what you buy. OK that about sums it up.

I'm a pretty open book, eh?

Now you've been saving these up for a while right?

Nope...just random thoughts.

Spiff

You definitely know who you are ...

And now we know too.

....and spiffnme got lots of free time....

i think that was one of the funniest posts in a long time and a thoroughly entertaining read!

So, uh, what's your social? And your mother's maiden name? I think that's all I'll need.

Great, now I just want to know more. Feed the need!

I'd say his social is "gregarious"

Yes! Shocked! Nonplussed! Stunned! Offended, even! How did you get a free subscription to TIME, when I have to pay through the nose for mine. OUTRAGEOUS!

Great, entertaining post, Craig. It's nice to know about the regulars here. Thanks.

Hmm...I bought something online and they offered a 6 month subscription for free. Pretty good idea on their part. I'm not sure I'll want to go without it once the six months are up.

Craig, that was an excellent fit of self-illumination. Superb Axiomblog!

Now I feel like I know you personally. As a matter of fact, I now feel qualified to suggest you get yourself into the shop soon and have them take a look a your clearly malfunctioning "off" button; it appears to be stuck.

Now, get yourself out of escrow and bundle up mister; you'll get a chill!!!!

The damn thing is addicting. I got started reading it 34 years ago in Viet Nam. been reading it ever since.

Get this! Sometime in the 1940's my father gave my mother a lifetime subscription to Reader's Digest. I have no idea what he paid, but probably a nice dollar by 1940's standards. Well my mother is now 91, and the Reader's Digest still arrives every month. Now THAT'S a free subscription. I don't think they offer lifetime subscriptions anymore.

Superb post spiff.
Another contender for best post of the year right next to the concise articulations of JohnK.

*blush* "Post of the Year"? I'll have to start working on my acceptance speach...

If you mention something about a "fictitious president" we'll be sure to boo you.

Craig, I'm sorely disappointed to see the music genre that you didn't include in your list.

What would that be?

Not trying to be a smartass...but that was one of the funniest posts i have ever read.

I feel like i've known you for years spiff!!!

I know for a fact that I couldn't (in any reasonably short period) rattle off that much about myself. It's really quite impressive, and the best part about it to me is that you made it into an axiom ad.

If you ever start up a company and try to market something to twenty-somethings in the US today, you should shoot off a whole string of tv ads in that form. With a nice diverse group of spokespeople and a bunch of 30 second timeslots, you could probably even sell bacon to a vegan!

Oh my God, the "off" button safety protocol is not working. Run!! Run!!

Switching back to serious once again, that is the beginnings of a neat opportunity Craig. I have done something similar over the years with an old, dog-eared journal. My thoughts were that if I ever chose to write a book it would be good to have some history of the details surrounding bits and pieces of my life experience. There might be a way to turn that into a humourous narrative of one's journey. I also thought it would be nice to have something my children or grandchildren could look at when they where really bored and learn something about where they came from. I likethe way you have organized the "detail spew"; it makes for quicker capturing.

Hmmmm, in reading this, you are probably wondering who I am and what I did with Ray? No matter. Craig - you have stimulated my thought muscle with your offering and I am appreciative.

I wonder how the Korean company 'LG' became so big in the US all of a sudden

ever heard of general electric??? they were working on samsung a few years ago. lg took a proactive approach to possibly stave off a giant.

I already have my DVD's catalogued here. I'd really like to do my CD's, but I literally have around 1,000 of them and the task of getting them all entered (easy as it may be) seems monumental.

AH! An addition to one (or two) of my all time favorite posts. I find myself agreeing with an awful lot of your points. Does this mean I'm gay?

Craig, you are perpetually astounding.

Why can't you eat Cilantro?

While I don't disagree about the Ketchup-on-a-hot-dog prohibition, I am interested in your backup. What's with the sources?

Oh, and Happy Anniversary on Super Bowl Sunday.

Another Buffy Fan!

I have the series on DVD... the only television series on DVD I have...

Jack, unless you too think Brent Everett is hot, I think you're safely straight.

Ketchup on a hotdog?

#1 - The Frugal Gourmet Cooks American by Jeff Smith - he has a section on hot dogs.

#2 - Dirty Harry in the film Sudden Impact - rent it.

Nope! I think Catherine Zeta-Jones is hot, so I guess I'm hopelessly straight.

As soon as I saw Barebacking Across America in the Brent Everett Google search results, I immediately closed the window. Thank goodness it wasn't a Google Image search.

You don't need to be gay not to think she's hot. You'd need to be blind.

It's unfortunate he "starred" in that. That's just completely irresponsible porn.

Here's another ketchup one:

The Straight Dope

Now, I don't agree with the sauerkraut comment--my perfect dog has sauerkraut, mustard (yellow!), onions, and a touch of relish on it. I'm fond of the German sausage, keilbasa, and linguica at Top Dog in Berkeley.

EDIT:
OK, here's the definitive source: The Hot Dog Council. This also implies that my comment above about my favorite dog is inappropriate; those are sausages, not hot dogs. Fortunately, Top Dog also has hot dogs.

Mmm, Top Dog... <drools>

I agree with no ketchup on a hot dog... the two restaurants I worked at to fund my audio, drug and car habits in high school agreed on mustard, onions and relish (and one added cheese standard and bacon) - I personally like wine sauerkraut as well.

On the other side, relish has no place on a hamburger outside of a cafeteria where "pickle packets" aren't available.

At home, I eat my burgers with ketchup, mustard, onions, pickle slivers (garlic dill) on the heel (bottom) and ranch dressing on the crown (top). Chicken/turkey burgers I eat with homemade "chicken grill sauce" (about 2 parts mayo/miracle whip to 1 part italian dressing), a tomato slice and salt and pepper.

A good breakfast on the go - take a sesame seed bagel, cut in half and toast, microwave a beaten egg until cooked, add two strips of ready-crisp bacon from the microwave, salt and pepper to taste. Stole the idea from a breakfast bagel at Great Canadian Bagel here.

>>I wonder how the Korean company 'LG' became so big in the US all of a sudden.

I can answer one of the mysteries. LG was huge as a company called "Goldstar" (actually Lucky Goldstar) -- what they didn't sell under their own brand they made for other people -- when the marketing folks decided that they needed a new name. LG became huge immediately, but the Goldstar group was 50+ different companies when I was working in Korea in the early 90s and I'm sure they have grown from there.

Interesting trivia -- in Taegu, one of the major industrial cities, most of the Goldstar employees eat at the "Hyundai" restaurant. Apparently Hyundai is Korean for "progress", although that isn't why the restaurant is so popular... beer and soju are cheap and the food is great.

There are a few big conglomerates, called "chaebols", in Korea. I thought there were more but I can't remember them all -- Hyundai, Samsung, Goldstar (now LG), Daewoo, and a couple of others. The only difference I remember is that Samsung had armed guards with M16s at all of their R&D centers and everyone else let you waltz in without ID.

funny that you mention Samsung... i saw this in the paper this morning and thought all of the TV junkies would get a kick out of this.
