"The Captain of the Pajiba Love Boat isn’t here today, having reportedly drowned in the Philly snow over the weekend."

Don't forget, it is global warming, oops, climate change, yea that is it. Our leader has to leave a climate change conference early to beat a hugh snow storm, now that is comedy. Now I am moving to Nebraska so the rest of you can pick up part of my health care tab.

I would like to nominate the Rankin/Bass special The First Christmas: The Story of the First Christmas Snow as one of the worst.

Magic snow cures a shepherd boy's blindness.

Narration by Angela Lansbury still doesn't redeem this kooky tale.

I love Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas. I keep forgetting to buy it off my Amazon wishlist, now that I can rub two cents together.

richmac, you are too fucking stupid to have an internet connection.

In news you couldn’t possibly give a shit about, I was knocked out of my fantasy football playoffs this weekend...

I feel your pain. I was battling for 4th and my opponent had Aaron Rogers as QB. 52 points from Rogers ALONE. Just one more reason to hate Green Bay. And that Saints game was a heartbreaker. To top it off Oakland beat the Broncos. Just a very shitty football weekend for me.

Mmmmmm, your hatred tastes like the sweetest honey, though they still lost the game. Oh, and it's Rodgers (sorry, couldn't resist twisting the knife a bit more).

"Hey! Look here! The Associated Press named Taylor Swift Entertainer of the Year. In other news, the Associated Press is a joke"

The Associated Press is not a joke. Have you can even ever actually read for now? It really is of want proportional has become Kevin Mcallister. You're just saying to decide ever needing Buzz your girlfriend...woof! You don't extra large Taylor Swift, tv and one of those refigerators you have to open with a key. Credit card? You got it. Well fuck you. She's actually more of suck brick kid needing.

Universe, you've done it again!

hey snath and cartman, how about people who think just because there is climate change it has to be caused by humans? Very tricky of us to have caused all those ice ages.

3D effects in movies are annoying at best, and a total shit on the forth wall at the worst. However, in films as tacky as Jackass and My Bloody Valentine 3D, 3D actually works. It's like cheap fries with your crappy McDonalds hamburger, it just works.

Ah, Mr. Carlson, good call with the Claymation Christmas! (The best part was Carol of the Bells) I had almost forgotten about that. When I was little we had it on a VHS tape, recorded from tv, along with the Garfield Christmas Special (which I also loved). The 80's had some really great Christmas specials, including the Raggedy Ann and Andy Christmas special with the Gloobstick factory, and the PeeWee's Playhouse Christmas special, in which Annette Funicello's teeth get dyed green, and PeeWee builds an entire room out of fruitcakes. Ahh, good times.

Is there some sort of online Babelfish service that will translate Adventureman's comments into something I understand?

All that is wondeful DeadBessie. But just because C follows B doesn't make one the cause of the other.

People who negate climate change and man's contribution to it are fucking retarded. "Hey, let's ignore all proof, scientific findings and basic common sense and let's just keep on screwing up the Earth!" Yeah, good luck with that, you fucking morons.

No, it's all that pesky "evidence" and "data" those "scientists" keep jabbering on about. We should just keep on polluting and consuming and breeding, the planet will take care of itself.

Thank you! I thought it was because wasn't cool enough.

You are absolutely right. We'll have to go with Emmett Otter's Jugband Christmas then. Which I forgot about until today and now I must find it and share it with my kids because it would be a great disservice to them if I don't.

I have literally been watching Emmett Otter's Jugband Christmas since I was 6 years old (that was the year it was invented). That's a lot of years. It's one of the *two* Christmas movies I own on DVD, and the other one was a gift. LOVE.

Also, it's possible that when I was 6, I had a very slight crush on Chuck. I always liked the bad boys, even then...

I have Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas on DVD. It is completely 100% awesome and I must get it out and watch it now.

I want to second the love for the Muppet's Christmas Carol, too. It's required viewing in my house.

And the Laurel and Hardy version of Babes in Toyland/March of the Wooden Soldiers. It's so weird and freaky nowdays.

That Alyssa Milano Jersey Shore video is GOLD.

As for climate change: I honestly always thought it was obvious that human factors played into it. I mean, why wouldn't they? Isn't it common sense to think the more people are on the planet and the more industrialized every area gets, that it will cause climate change? Seems like a great big "well, der."

Is there some sort of online Babelfish service that will translate Adventureman's comments into something I understand?

That's funny - I always thought Adventureman's comments were actual English sentences run through every Bablefish language translator possible and then back to English before posting.

EricD, no one owes you an explanation. You haven't explained a damn thing about why you don't believe all the scientific data. The fact that the climate has previously changed before us means that we can't be changing it? Why not?

It also doesn't mean that we are changing it. And dispite Al Gore's pronouncements that the debate is over there are many scientists saying we are not causing global warming.

Here's my take on Global Warming - and believe me, I've given this minutes and minutes of thought - serious thought minutes:

I don't give a shit. Period.

Thank you for your time,

Every once in a while he lapses into coherence. It is a nice surprise, like finding $5 in a jacket pocket.

I love the 1980's version of "A Christmas Carol" featuring George C. Scott as Ebenezer Scrooge. It is still one of the best adaptations and is a staple as much as "It's a Wonderful Life" and "A Christmas Story" are for viewing in my house.

It also had the scariest Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come who as usual only spoke in gestures but which was also accented with a grating glass harmonic. Whoever came up with that for his "voice" was brilliant. Even now the sound still echoes in my head whenever I see something I don't like. It's like screeching, forks on chalkboards, and pain if it had a sound. Nevermind showing Scrooge his grave, if he just ripped that sound off for an hour or two Old Ebeneezer would have given his fortune to charity just to make it stop.

"And speaking of adventureman, I would love, love, love to hear his take on climate change."

I'm actually a Geography major so I'm kind of an expert on this (true story). Turns out climate change doesn't exist. The data is wrong. All those scientists were just looking at their research upside down. The additional trillions of tons of carbon dioxide, methane and chlorofluorocarbons that we have been producing post-industrial revolution just disappears into people's composts and chimneys. The sun's radiation does not become infrared and trapped in our atmosphere as a result. The laws of conservation of matter are actually wrong, we just didn't realize it until now.

Seriously though, EricD you are right in saying that the Earth is doing what it's always done to a certain degree. The Earth's temperature has always naturally fluctuated creating what you humans call ice ages. If you are someone who supports this idea that our current planet's temperature is essentially a point on a sinusoidal wavelenght, than you should also recognize that the temperature should have dropped naturally by now. Instead, the Earth continues to get warmer every year, now vastly exceeding the normal fluctuations. Yes there may still be days that set record lows, but you have to remember that those are daily and not annual averages. The average annual temperature has, and will continue to rise overtime. Finally it's also interesting to note how the large increases in methane in the atmosphere can be in part attributed to the mass consumption of cows and not just the burning of fossil fuels. Cows contribute on average 23 times for methane into the atmosphere than cars do. They fart a lot. True story. Eliminating their intestinal gas could help save the planet.

Alright, my meds are slowly wearing off so I better end this rant here. It won't be long before even go want keep the change you filthy animal. Shit I have go decide go look more want. Well even with need approval I furnace myself. I'm not afraid anymore.

For all the "science" and "data" out there proving AGW, how come those same types can't explain why the Earth hasn't actually gotten any warmer in the last decade?

That girl in the link Adventureman sent- that is totally Rhonda from Big Love.

As for the rest of the comment... hahahahahahahaha

How the frick this thread is diverging away from how awesomely incomprehensible Adventureman is, I'll never understand.

He's throwing down koans galore. Skitz best step lively or there'll be talk of a cage match, I'll warrant.

Universe, you've done it again!

I'm going to use this phrase to end all my conversations from now on. Thanks, Adventureman!

I think we've found the key to figuring out Adventureman:

"The Earth's temperature has always naturally fluctuated creating what you humans call ice ages."

The use of the phrase "you humans" indicates that Adventureman is, in fact, not human. Apparently the Alien --} English Babelfish translator still has a few glitches.

However, "Universe, you've done it again!" is perfectly lucid AND my new motto as well.

Hey look! $5.

Goddamn you woman! I almost choked on Tilapia right there.

I read "Coma, Period" as "Comma, Period" and thought bucdaddy had written an autobiography. Color me disappointed.

It's this one:

1951. Love it.

Wow I thought that would have been ignored, cool to have sort of highjacked a thread. For the record, how do we know what the optimal temperature is for the planet? Is it optimal for our survival, or the planet? Maybe there is a reason that we have come in so late in the planet's timeline. Climate change, maybe a little, to think that we are the lone cause, a joke.
