    Watching My Little Pony. This show is seriously addictive. And totally not the sort of thing I would normally watch except for the fact that it's so good.

    I may not sleep tonight.

    I am fairly curious to learn what is addictive about My Little Pony.

    I assume it's due to the unnaturally colored ponies.

    I don't know. I really don't. It's not the sort of thing I normally watch.

    You'll just have to watch an episode and find out. :D

    ... but I'm afraid.

    Are you a woman that watched this as a kid and it's the nostalgia factor that does it? That's what causes me to watch episodes of Transformers and Power Rangers even though my adult intellect is telling me that they're god awful.

    I didn't watch any TV at all when I was a kid except for Bill Nye the Science Guy. So no nostalgia. It's just a good show.

    Science rules.

    We now have exactly one thing in common.

    Yay! I loved that show so much. Then it went off of PBS and I was very sad because I didn't have cable.

    I remember how heartbroken I was when I found out that he wasn't actually a scientist. That was certainly a dark day...

    I preferred Beakman's World. I don't really have vivid memories of either, but I remember that Beakman had a guy in a rat costume for some reason. And Beakman sort of looked like Kramer.

    Well, he is an engineer. That's like applied science.

    And one year he gave the Caltech commencement. Which definitely counts for something in my book.

    I never drank caffeine before high school. Then I discovered Code Red. Now, caffeine hasn't had a discernible effect on me for years.

    I never drank caffeine for the first 17 years of my life. For moral reasons even.

    Funny how if breakfast being the most important meal in the day... how it's so common to have poor appetite when getting out of bed.

    Actually more annoying than funny.

    Actually the whole eating breakfast thing is important thing is not neccisarrily true, but it does help get you energy right off the bat in the morning.

    I suppose but when I watched the show, I liked to believe he was out there, 24/7, researching and making new scientific discoveries.

    I didn't even think about research when I was a kid.

    I just liked when he demonstrated plate tectonics with cookies.

    I'll admit that I liked that too.

    Watching Hunchback of Notre Dame and I just realized Frollo's voiced by the same guy who voiced the owner of the sanitarium in Beauty and the Beast. He's just really good at playing completely irredeemable characters it seems.

    I was hellbent on becoming a paleontologist. I didn't really pay attention to much that didn't have to do with dinosaurs.

    I'm disappointed that you gave up such an ambitious dream.

    Beakman was awesome, but he never showed us science-related parodies of popular music from the 80s and early 90s... :p

    Yes, he was The Elder God in the Legacy of Kain series as well as Zephon in Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver.

    His voice is quite recognizable and he was involved in numerous films, video games and television shows. He was such a talented man.

    Can't we hire Mike and the bots to riff on it.

    Okay, right now I'm converting my PC into an Ultrastar kareoke machine. Now I'm planning on adding all Homestar Runner songs and as many actual popular songs (and most likely also Chocolate Rain if I manage to do that one), but are there any good suggestions for a good kareoke party? I need it ready by August, which is around my burfdah.

    I found a theme song for Guruguru.

    No karaoke party is complete without The Bad Touch by The BloodHound Gang.

    It adds class to even the most hopeless of parties.

    A'ight!!!!!!!

    Now there's one song we'll never see on Singstar.

    EDIT: BEEEEEH, Ultrastar (Deluxe) still doesn't have rap score support.

    Try these.

    Howlin' For You by The Black Keys

    Don't Stop Me Now by Queen (Actually, anything by Queen)

    House of Fun by Madness (I just put this one here because it's a great song.)

    Back in Time by Huey Lewis and The News (My shameless plug.)

    Okay, I was going to watch The Castle of Fu Manchu, but whatever.

    However, you must all watch this, this, and this.

    Just saw the Portal 2 commercial.
    So far they are advertising it as a nice kids game.
    (Glados: Oh there you are. We are going to have fun with science) instead of the dark twisted game it hopefully will be.:D

    Find the fastest, most tongue-twisty rap song you can, and offer a prize to anybody who can get through it without tripping up. :D

    The easiest way to make yourself hate a song is to make it an alarm tone to wake you up in the morning. For example, I used to adore Kay Kyser's Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition from World War II. Now? Now I can't stand to hear it on.

    The first thing I thought of was this song.

    Which I also think would wake you up a whole lot faster.

    It would, yes. Hm... I must be out of touch with the times, because I had no idea that was remade. :I

    Serj Tankian is great. Though, I only know about this song because it was in a huge collection of music that my brother gave me...which he got from my second cousin...who is up with the times.

    Don't get me wrong, I have a fuckton of metal... It's just mostly a decade old.
