Yeah, because no one's heard of anything before unless Tom talks about it.

I can't disagree with this statement...Tom helps me know what to think, about most things. Wasn't it PFT who was the most vocal against IE. Maybe PFT is my new leader...

no, we just decide how we really feel once Tom weighs in.

IE bug me to no end but I will admit to liking what they did to a little league game in Florida.

Riding the train with no pants? Stay home, weirdo. You are only amusing yourself.
Congratulations. You are now a mouse cursor inside a graphics program that the client can control by speaking, emailing and instant messaging.

I went here to cope with what you're describing. It worked out fine in the end. I listen to Best Show with adult supervision now.

They do some funny stuff and some stuff that, on reflection, is kind of mean.  I think most people respond negatively to their making a whole movement out of culture-jamming stuff that used to be more spontaneous.  As an example of this, I think that the "cement cuddlers" story is funny--

Unfortunate Child, do not mistake me for living thing, nor seek in me the warmth denied you by your parents. For beneath my plush surface lies a hardness as impervious and unforgiving as this World's own indifference to your mortal struggle. Hold on to me when you are sad, and I will weigh you down, but bear this weight throughout your years, and it will strengthen your limbs and harden your will so that one day no man dare oppose you.

amiright??

My feelings about IE are actually Ira Glass's fault.

The "IE" in that post actually stands for "Improv Everywhere."
