Your link doesn't work for me, Goose. Looks like it's some kind of Amazon cloud-hosting time-limited request for some reason. Got a regular Twitpic link or anything?
I'm just saying that their business model doesn't work for me, but they keep advertising on other channels. Thus they keep piquing my interest, until I see "on HBO" which then kills it again. So it's irritating.
If their business models works for them, good for them. I just think that they would probably do better if they made something free to lure people in, outside of just commercials. I'm not going to pay extra for a month to see if I like a show they have. If they made show premieres free, then locked the rest away behind subscription, then I could at least know if I would or would not like a show. Instead, if I want to see anything from HBO that I might have an interest in, its either subscribe or pirate it.
Sheesh, perhaps loathe was a bit overstated, but yes, they provide a product I have a mild interest in but I'm not willing to pay for it. Hence the mild interest. If it was a strong interest then perhaps they'd earn another customer, but they aren't willing to bend on their business model to allow that sort of change in interest.
They've been going strong for, what, twenty years? I don't really see how much better they could be doing.
Also, your logic continues to be absolutely baffling. "They've got things I want to see, and then they make me want to see them even more, and then I have to pay to see them! What the hell!"
Also, as already mentioned, they do free weekends all the dang time, and rampant online special features. Game of Thrones alone had, like, two hours of behind-the-scenes content and preview clips, available for all kinds of free online.
Basically what I am saying is that you are a silly goose who is as wrong as can be.
As for this episode, my hands-down favorite part was Gabe not remembering a movie that he and Tycho saw together, and how Tycho wasn't even surprised - just resigned.

Man, I don't want to pay for things.
All those 60 year bottles of scotch should be given to me.
I'll bust out a "darn it" or "what the heck?" here and there. It's not because I have any conviction that Zeus isn't going to approve but because I'm often in public places where I am being considerate to people around me by watching my profanity.
I used to have a thing when I was a teenager where I was trying to cull my swearing. I started to replace cusses with the word "stuff" so you'd sometime here me say "what the stuff?" or "holy stuff!"
It had kind of a catch-phrasey quality to it but it wore thin after awhile.
But it makes you seem so grown-up and adult beyond your years. I'm sure your co-workers are just losers who are afraid of a few "naughty" words.
What a bunch of geese.
I have a friend who I used to get mad at for dropping highly-enunciated s- and f-bombs in casual conversation with just the slightest hint of trying-too-hard. I took to dressing him down when he'd do it in inappropriate settings like standing in line at the movies with a 4-year-old kid and his mother standing in front of us. Eventually he cut it out.
you're not allowed to say "damn," "dang," or "darn" in their home
It's been like five years since I've gone around them but last I knew their kid was 15 and still saying "drat."
I remember as a kid getting into an argument with another kid about whether or not "Damn" was a bad word. Back at an age when if my mother heard me curse I would be facing a bar of soap.

A kid in school got told off once for saying "Cor blimey", because apparently it means "God blind me" and that's a curse I guess?
I think he should have been commended for using such a neglected expression of Englishness, personally. I mean who says that except Victorian chimney sweeps.

Since there are no other entries, probably means that it's a PA original.
The way twitpic uses S3 basically means you can't direct link twitpic images.
Huh, odd. I wasn't sure if I could [ img] tag it, but it showed up on my computer so I went with it.
until the link expired...
That's just on wiki. It's an actual term; though I don't keep up with ping pong, they use it quite a bit in tennis matches

That's adorable.
Have you told them how adorable that is?
So somebody finally made "fetch" happen!
Those are some crazy melon farmers.

I'm kind of a fan of Jeezum Crow for some reason vOv

I also say fuck and cunt
it feels like it has more impact than Damn.

penny arcade has gotten me saying "eff" instead of "fuck" occasionally
and sometimes I say "nuts"

Frack! What am I supposed to do now?!
Triple-so when people use them out-of-context like it's a real word.
You do not live in a television show universe no matter how badly you want to.
