Kobach is a lock to be Kansas' next governor, yes?

That map looks like the first page of a YA dystopian future novel.

BTW, Simpsons monorail episode is still like a cultural touchstone like TV like 25 years later. Any youngs who haven't seen it should do so.

I rode a monorail first time ever to the Phx Families Belong Together protest. I haven't seen the Simpson's episode but for now I am pro-monorail.

The song was the best part. Otherwise I bet people forget the ep. I can't go anywhere near a monorail w/o singing the song.

If he doesn't lose his suit after gawker lost $100 million for doing a tenth of this, I'm going to lose the zero faith I already have in the US justice system!

Hell no. Leonard Nimoy, "The cosmic ballet... goes on", "I call the big one Bitey", "I shouldn't have stopped for that haircut", the escalator to nowhere, Grampa Simpson ain't fer it he's agin it etc.

Batman's a scientist.

The seasons of the Simpsons where Conan was the lead writer are GOAT TV, imo.

Dana Gould was an elite Simpsons writer too

it's sad that the first 8 seasons of the simpsons were really good, but now we're on season 30 and i haven't seen one good episode from seasons 9-present. so almost 3/4 of their catalogue is unwatchable

meanwhile American Dad is on season 14 and they haven't made a bad episode yet

Anyone have a good experience to report regarding switching from glasses to contacts? I found my last colonoscopy a more enjoyable experience.

Both correct takes, though I enjoy the recent AD's more than the earlier ones because Roger tends to play a more prominent role now and his characters make that show.

American Dad has never been funny.

I went from glasses to contacts as a kid and loved the change. Went from contacts to lasik in college and loved the change even more. Highly recommend it!

See now this is a bad take

It took everything Family Guy had already run into the ground and somehow made it even staler. Like, the South Park guys should have held off on that episode ripping Family Guy, because that critique was obsolete once AD arrived.

you've fundamentally misunderstood the show

how does american dad do what family guy does? the animation is similar and seth mcfarlane does voices which are not at all similar

I want lasik but everyone says I look weird without them. Not just taking them off but when I wear contacts. GF thinks glasses look great on me :\.

They're definitely a pain in the booty though.

I guess I need to look into lasik.

Two weeks ago I decided to take the plunge and get contacts. I went to America's Best to get the eye exam. I didn't know at the time that the eye exam to get contacts is not the same as for glasses (it cost $30 more, for one thing) but whatever I did it. They told me my lenses would arrive within 2 weeks and they'd call me.

I got the call this morning and went at lunch to pick them up. The girl sat me down at a desk and set everything up and showed me how to put them in. I sat there for some ~25 minutes trying to get the right lens into my eye. I could not do it. Every time my finger grazed against an eyelash, my eye reflexively shut. I commented that I'll have to get up an hour earlier from now on just to put in contacts and make it to work on time. On about the 41st attempt, I dropped the lens and it fell onto the (carpeted) floor. After ten minutes of searching, we finally located the lens. It was, of course, torn and now useless. She advised that she would have to order more (since they inexplicably ordered me exactly ONE set of lenses) and it would be another two weeks and I'd have to come back and do this exercise all over again.

I told her thanks, but no thanks. Setting aside the fact that I literally could not get the ****ing thing into my eye, I can drop my glasses from my roof onto the pavement of my driveway and I'm near 100% certain that they wouldn't break, but dropping one of these little rubber-like ****ers onto CARPET destroys them? Nah, I'm good. I asked where the frames were so that I could pick out a new set. She pointed them out and that is when I was informed that I would need yet another eye exam because the one I got two weeks ago was only good for contacts.

I left in disgust. I guess I'd have blown the 80 bones on something equally useless.

Namath that's incredibly common. It took me like 40 minutes to get my contact lenses in the first time after an exam. But after that it gets easier and after a few tries it takes like 1 minute tops.

Hmm are you sure you're doing it right? Glasses to hard contacts were a *****. Never had a colonoscopy though so that reference point doesn't work for me.

Edit: Yes, inserting them takes some getting used to. Take the prescription and order lenses on-line. It's probably easier if there isn't someone there watching you fumble around. Sit down and lean over a table so if you drop it it doesn't go far. If you start to feel frustrated try again later.
