Here's what I heard: "Squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk..." Is it so unreasonable that everybody get a fucking turn to talk? Stop gabbing over each other!

Only two words: old women.

Fiero · « **Reply #2 on:** Oct 26, 2010, 07:44:23 PM »

Not all of them are old, the young one squawks like crazy, too.

Fiero · « **Reply #3 on:** Oct 26, 2010, 07:44:45 PM »

Who am I kidding, I only know about the show from SNL.

The whole thing is a joke.

Forgivable, as that's the only version of the View worth watching.

Whoopi, or the fat kid from Good Burger pretending to be Whoopi?

The choice is obvious.

I always forget that is him. And Fred Armisen as the old lady who says something disgusting and then says, "so what?" is awesome. Kirsten Wiig is starting to wear thin, though.

joe · « **Reply #7 on:** Oct 26, 2010, 10:25:59 PM »

Like, in general, or in that skit specifically?

She's a great cast member, but she's so overused. I wonder how much longer she'll stick with it, because these last couple years she's practically been running the show.

Fiero · « **Reply #8 on:** Oct 26, 2010, 10:29:47 PM »

Overused is why she is wearing thin, I think she might be a better writer, but I doubt most of the cast can do the weird stuff she does.

Isn't that what they are suppose to do on the view? Isn't that what they pay them for?

Fiero · « **Reply #10 on:** Oct 27, 2010, 12:59:24 AM »

It is my understanding that the women are nearly incoherent in their squawking.

Rama · « **Reply #11 on:** Oct 27, 2010, 01:03:20 AM »

And other women eat it up. And this is why men don't understand the fairer sex.

Fiero · « **Reply #12 on:** Oct 27, 2010, 02:29:31 AM »

Fairer? The foulest people I have known are women.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #13 on:** Oct 27, 2010, 03:12:46 AM »

Whoopi is the shit.

Merla was saying that some study or other showed that's how women like to talk. MEEEEHHH. I need people to take fucking turns.

It's what Crossfire would have been had estrogen been introduced intravenously to the hosts on-air.

Okay, so I saw the new hen show, The Talk. For those who have no idea what the frick it is, it's the mommy-version of The View with Roseanne's Sara Gilbert, hot Aszin MILF Joan Chen, creaky Sharon Osbourne, borderline-trashy Leah Remini, slightly dull Holly Robinson-Peete, and some heavy chick they barely show. With them all being mothers and having that as their selling point, I notice they are loads calmer than on The View. While I like that and Martha Stewart and I both applaud them for this very good thing, they pretty much lose me on the whole Mother Knows Best angle (which is of course their primary schtick). That and interviewing boring people. Cybil Sheppard? YAAAAAAAAAAAWN.

Rama · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 13, 2010, 02:24:15 AM »

GAH! An Alien!

No, no, that's just Leah Remini.

joe · « **Reply #18 on:** Nov 13, 2010, 02:38:07 AM »

Oh, what the fuck. Why do people do that to themselves? God damn it.

Is aging naturally really so awful? It can't be as awful as that shit. I didn't even recognize her at first.

B E C K · « **Reply #19 on:** Nov 13, 2010, 02:52:41 AM »

Ha, I knew something was different about her but I never looked at her face long enough to tell what that was. She looks like Alec Baldwin in Beetlejuice when he had that bird-face or whatever.

joe · « **Reply #20 on:** Nov 13, 2010, 02:59:07 AM »

God, seriously.

Kevin James needs to eat her, then poop her out in her original form.

It would be like when Buu ate Vegeto and crapped out Goku and Vegeta.

Yeah, kinda like that.

I don't need to explain it, everyone knows what I'm saying.

Whatever wore the other earring can be used for stem cell research... regardless of age.

Now I feel like Joe. I just want to slap someone for reminding me of DBZ.

B E C K · « **Reply #23 on:** Nov 13, 2010, 03:06:14 AM »

Oh, like that wasn't gonna happen for years to come.

Rama · « **Reply #24 on:** Nov 13, 2010, 03:13:28 AM »

I was doing pretty good actually. I hadn't even seen "It's over nine thousand" said recently.

B E C K · « **Reply #25 on:** Nov 13, 2010, 03:15:28 AM »

Not even Over 9000 Penises? But you live in MO!

joe · « **Reply #26 on:** Nov 13, 2010, 03:18:28 AM »

Over at Giant Bomb they were doing a quicklook of the newest DBZ game, and Jeff Gerstmann was all, "How long has it been since there was new DBZ material? Why are they still making these games?"

And some genius in the comments says, "Uh... DBZ Kai is currently ongoing, you guys, so new material like that is fairly recent."

Derp.

I had fun watching DBZ, I can't deny it. But looking back it seems like such a fucking waste.

B E C K · « **Reply #27 on:** Nov 13, 2010, 03:20:27 AM »

Have you seen every episode? I think I tend to not be in that school of thought because I totally cheated and skipped the Cell Games and shit. After the bummer ending to the second Saban season, I literally jumped from the arrival of Future Trunks into Buu Saga.

joe · « **Reply #28 on:** Nov 13, 2010, 03:38:53 AM »

No, man.

No.

I totally watched all of it. ALL OF IT, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!

This is why my hatred runs so deep.

I remember Cartoon Network was rationing them out so conservatively that I ended up downloading them all after the Ginyu mini-saga. This was back during dial-up and the act of downloading episodes was new and exciting.

I remember one night I was chatting with Rama on AIM and I mentioned that I had these fucking things downloading and that they'd be done in like 24 hours or some ridiculous shit, and he was all, "What the fuck is wrong with you?" And I could only reply, "I don't know..."

I remember those days...when it blew my mind that Krillian was going to marry a robot.
