Bone The Fish - Most Recent Comments!

Who said you can't coin your own term? What is "Boning the Fish"? It's a moment. A defining moment when you know that your favorite TV Show, Celebrity, Movie Series or Music Group has reached its peak. That instant you know from now on...it's all downhill. Some call it a climax of sorts. We call it "Boning the fish". From that moment on things will simply never be the same.

2000s - Random Topics
Ahh, the Information Overload Century.... I know the human brain is capable of absorbing an impressive amount of input, but it really is amazing to me that most of us can endure the levels of sensory bombardment to which we are subjected, every waking moment (and possibly in our sleep as well), without turning into homicidal berserkers. In that sense, at least in terms of scale, the 2000s are unprecedented. In terms of news events, however - your basic wars and natural disasters and socio-economic upheavals and dumbass political bickering and so on - this century isn't showing me anything new so far. -- Submitted By: (Soggy9000) on April 15, 2011, 1:50 am

Domino's Pizza - Random Topics
All large pizza chains blow. There is zero attention paid to craftsmanship, and the finished product is pretty much tasteless. (The same can be said of large beer manufacturers and their equally mediocre product.

Earth Liberation Front (ELF) - Random Topics
If their mission statement were interpreted as broadly as it could be, the ELF's goal could easily be "to return humanity to a pre-civilized state". Even basic agriculture would seem to come under their definition of activities worth waging "guerrilla warfare" against. At heart these people are children in adult bodies. -- Submitted By: (Soggy9000) on April 12, 2011, 8:34 pm

Sign language for infants and toddlers - Random Topics
I disagree. Infants you might have a point, but for toddlers (and up), why not? Especially when it's known that at young ages, kids can easily soak up information, and learn something basic that they can build on in later life -- Submitted By: (PYLrulz) on April 11, 2011, 5:14 pm

Sign language for infants and toddlers - Random Topics
OK, this irritates me to no end!!! Unless a child is hearing-impaired or they have a relative who is hearing-impaired, or your child happens to be a gorilla or chimpanzee, what is the purpose of this? Do you want your child to grow up to not know how to talk? Really? This trend seems to be the idea of lazy-ass Yuppie parents who just don't want to hear their child ask for something and as an added bonus, it's some cute "pet" trick the child can do in front of company, since said lazy-ass Yuppie parents only view their offspring as "pets" anyway and don't care about stifling or impeding the child's vocal and social development. -- Submitted By: (Stephanie) on April 11, 2011, 12:36 pm

New York Yankees - Random Topics
The only time I disliked the Yankees was when they swept my favorite team, the San Diego Padres, in the 1998 World Series. But that dislike was short-lived in the light of the fact the Padres could have won a couple of games in that particular World Series if their relief pitchers didn't throw gopher balls (pitches that were easy to hit) all the time. -- Submitted By: (BigAl) on April 10, 2011, 9:06 am

Convervatism - Random Topics
Modern American conservatism is as dedicated to control of the citizenry and suppression of their liberties as modern American liberalism is.

Grammy Awards - Random Topics
All music awards bone, period. It's profoundly foolish to set artists up as competitors, then declare that Artist Y deserves an award and Artist Z does not. And look at the list of nominees in each category: Mostly the same artists, year after year, as if they are the only professional musicians in existence. And yes, metal is badly underrepresented. The Grammy mindset is that the highest-profile artists make the best music, and the more obscure artists make the worst (and can therefore be ignored). It's a deeply stupid mindset. -- Submitted By: (Soggy9000) on April 9, 2011, 3:02 pm

Profanity - Random Topics
I vote for the world's dumbest song title, "My Life Would Suck Without You." Seriously, the rules regarding censorship used to be really stupid (and things haven't changed that much). A comedian who broke the rules in his stand up was partially ridiculing the utter stupidity of these rules were. Recall George Carlin's classic "Seven Words You Can NeverSay ON Television". The rules these days don't really seem much better. You can apparently only use these word in a non-sexual manner or not referring to the excretion of body fluids. I can say, "That pisses me off." But I cannot say, "I got to take a piss." As much as I understand the distinction in that I have no need to hear of either, it still annoys me that we now have tv characters who can let us know when they have to "pee". You can stop to "pee" but you can't stop to "piss". I have to wonder how people make up these standards with a straight face. By this rationale could we say that Kelly Clarkson's life would suck but she can't sing about oral sex. Does Kelly Clarkson suck in a sexual or non-sexual manner or both? -- Submitted By: (lrbloom) on April 9, 2011, 2:10 pm

Profanity - Random Topics
It used to be cool especially as a kid when you use it sometimes or back when it was taboo and can't be used in mainstream TV or anywhere for that matter.

Hot wheels - Random Topics
The 1st-generation concept models - the Splittin Image and Twin Mill and Silhouette and so on - were actually pretty cool. I think Hot Wheels drifted into BTF territory when they discontinued the Spectraflame paint job and the Redline wheel design. (That was loooong ago.) And they monkeyed with the suspension design too - probably to cut costs - because at some point the cars stopped being "bouncy" when you dropped them wheels-down. -- Submitted By: (Soggy9000) on April 8, 2011, 4:24 am

President of the United States - Random Topics
Never mind the question of being hated; I'd rather consider the more interesting question of when it was that the office itself BTF. And my answer would be the rise of the Imperial Presidency. (Some say that era began with FDR, but I think it started at least a generation earlier.) I wish America could return to a state - if only a state of mind - where the person who happens to be living in the White House never dares lose sight of the fact that he is a public servant first and a commander in chief second. (That's not an attack on any particular president; it's a criticism of the mindset of ALL of them since 1900 or so.) -- Submitted By: (Soggy9000) on April 8, 2011, 4:02 am

STORM (Standing together to Organize a Revolution - Random Topics
I hadn't heard of these guys until now, but their name alone earns them a "Boned on Day One" vote from me. No matter how many millions of people communist regimes have shot, starved or stripped of their dignity since Lenin stepped off his sealed train at the Finland Station, there always seem to be plenty of earnest Americans willing to romanticize the movements which brought those regimes to power, and - though they won't tell you this - to hold to the belief that the primary reason those Marx-inspired societies beyond our shores never manage to fulfill the promises of their creators is a shortage of earnest Americans among the revolutionaries. (It's a form of Yankee bigotry: "You Russians/Chinese/Vietnamese/Cubans aren't quite smart enough to make Marxism work like WE can.") At heart, though, it's always been much more about enjoying the process of revolution - the glamour and camaraderie of the barricades, the adrenaline rush that comes from combatting The Man and his henchmen, and the sense of personal relevance which accompanies the knowledge that one is Part Of Something Really Important - than it is about actually rebuilding a society after the shooting stops (which, after all, is singularly unglamorous work). -- Submitted By: (Soggy9000) on April 8, 2011, 3:29 am

Customer Service - Random Topics
I had been an employee of Comcast Cable TV in California which was purchased by Time Warner Cable about 2006. When the company was Comcast there was a monthly employees evaluation which consisted of a supervisor listening making sure you said "Please and thank you, etc." The quality assurance department for Comcast double-checked the math of the CSRs instead waisting time on frivolous things. Within months after Time Warner's takeover, the CSR's (customer service reps) were being ridden by staff to upsell products and also inform customers at the end of each call of an "automated customer survey" call that the customer "may" recieve within the next "24 to 48 hours". Most customers hung up before you finished telling them about the survey. Others requested that they not be bothered by surveys that always came after the call when they were busy. Other companies have an automated system that allows the customer to choose whether of not to participate in a short survey afterwards -"press one for yes, two for no" - but this is TWC and we can't have anything that would save time and make sense. The survey consists of three questions of "on a scale of one to ten" "blah blah blah" and is nothing more than an excuse to bitch at the CSR's. During our monthly evaluations, TWC informs employees of the results of the "automated" survey. Most customers hadn't bothered to participate. There was a part of the "automated" survey that left room for a customer to leave a recorded messages. Most of the messages said that the CSR's weren't really an issue with TWC, but the crappy product was. TWC's policy was that if we didn't recieve a certain average on our "automated customer surveys" you could kiss your job goodbye. We were told that someone higher up wanted things done and that was it. Suddenly, the employees are being buried under surveys, pointless statistics and upselling and reading some robotic script to already irritated customers who become even more irritated. Meaningless statistics and surveys replace common sense. CSR's could actually be penalized for scheduling service appointments for customers because of the cost to the company as well as transferring too many calls to the supervsiors. I wound up losing my job because of this despite winning employee of the month and having almost perfect attendance. This is why I never complained about the service at IHOP or the bank or any place else where that uses CSR's in some form or another. I know only too well what is at stake. -- Submitted By: (lrbloom) on April 6, 2011, 10:52 pm -- Submitted By: (lrbloom) on April 6, 2011, 11:22 pm

The Tea Party was/is supposed to be about opposing new taxes. The original Tea Party (the Boston Tea Party) was all about "no taxation without representation". Their backronym is Taxed Enough Already. Are they really excluding people for no other reason than being atheist? If that's true, that's really wrong.

When they started to have a PG rating. All the wrestling and the storylines became too tame. I remember they used to have stuff like "Bra and Panties" Match, Billy Gunn is actually allowed to called Mr. Ass, and of course The Godfather and the ho train. I agree that the "Attitude Era" is the best one with DX, Steven Austin, The Rock and the Mchanon-Helmsey arc. I think the Invasion arc is where they reach their peak. The Invasion arc itself didn't BTF for me personailly but the aftermath is. After the Invasion arc, I think they just ran out of ideas being they brought WCW/ECW and there was no other wresting show to complete anymore other than the fact that there was few moments there like NWO, Triple H vs Shawn Michael but that's all. -- Submitted By: (SSM) on April 5, 2011, 8:11 pm

I find myself watching less and less TV all the time, while there are some gems out there (Breaking Bad) hidden amongst the detritus, TV has become a wasteland of Epic proportions. And to hear the Sheeple get excited about "Dancing with the Stars" and "American Idol", they should just start pumping LSD into the drinking water at this point, it would have the same effect. -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on April 5, 2011, 6:24 am

A lot of the crap in WWE nowadays can be traced back to when they bought out WCW. No competition = stale product. TNA doesn't count as competition. WCW at it's worst was still better than TNA at it's best. But yeah, around the same time as the merger, Rock and Austin slowly phased out. Foley too. Then the horrible InVasion angle. Yeah, that was it. -- Submitted By: (Googalslosh) on April 5, 2011, 12:41 am

I say Fox is responsible for the degeneration of television with "Realicrap" TV. Other networks started with something reasonable (Survivor was actually good, something I would actually watch), then Fox started serving the lowest common denominator, and it just went downhill from there between most of the networks. MTV and Fox seem to be the worst culprits. -- Submitted By: (PYLrulz) on April 2, 2011, 5:17 pm

The only true "reality TV" are news shows (and some of THEM are debatable.) Everything else is unreal, and nothing is more unreal than the foolishness known as Reality TV. The programs are all filmed on Bizarro Earth and broadcast to our unsuspecting planet, probably for the purpose of turning everyone on Regular Earth against America. (They're doing a fine job of it too.) Also, it's no coincidence that the name "Kardashian" sounds suspiciously similar to the name of the evil alien race on Star Trek DS9. -- Submitted By: (Soggy9000) on April 1, 2011, 6:09 am

And why should I feel compelled to tell them they are wrong? Atheists who are so gung-ho to ridicule people who believe in deities are no better than obnoxious door-to-door religion peddlers or sleazy TV evangelists. They give live-and-let-live atheists like me a bad name. Bottom line: They are no more in touch with the Absolute Truth than a religious person is. (And neither am I.

The Sex Pistols are right: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is nothing but a urine stain. (So are the Grammys and every other music award.

"No RIP Elizabeth Taylor who spent her life in adultery and enabling proud fags. They cuss her in hell today. #Westboro will picket funeral!" one tweet read. Taylor was a renowned AIDS advocate and one of the first celebrities to tackle the issue during the height of the epidemic in the 1980s. She founded the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation in 1985, which Time reports has raised over $100 million over 25 years. The church, which recently won a Supreme Court case ruling that their type of inflammatory protest was protected by the First Amendment, has also notoriously coordinated rallies at the funerals of other public figures such as Elizabeth Edwards, Heath Ledger and Natasha Richardson. This is cut and pasted from the Huffington Post. Who do these people think they are? Is nothing sacred? Somebody's funeral and they plan to make a mockery of theverything they claim to represent.

Lisa Simpson - Random Topics
Let's not forget how the Halloween specials started favouring Lisa and so often made Bart look bad and Lisa look great with sickening displays of misandry. Degrading a character that people have known and loved for decades now to make a character that people don't like so much look good is one of the worst ways to go about supporting said character. I mean, would people prefer that Bart and Lisa's relationship resemble happier times in their own lives or would they prefer the show reminding them of times and incidents they want to forget? Although, yes, Lisa was a bad character almost from day one. I believe it was the episode where Krusty is framed for Robbing the Kwick-E-Mart that Bart admits Lisa is smarter then him, hence him needing her help to save Krusty. Lisa of course agrees with a very smug tone. Perhaps someone needs to tell Lisa that it's not what gifts and/or abilities we posses or do not posses that define us but what we do with those gifts and abilities. Although, some of the adults in her life certainly didn't help. Remember when Mr. Bergstrum (sp?) told Lisa (re: Bart) that she'll miss his antics when she's doing things most people can only dream of.
