Ok here it goes, My response to all DUAN topics in one post:
Movie Prop if it worked as it did in the movie... Cloaking Device from Predator.
If it was just a movie prop.. The sled from Citizen Kane, or the briefcase form Pulp Fiction
Animal I'd be: Grizzley Bear. Those things are pretty badass
F: Diaz. M: Roberts K: Uma
Jat Cutler's Insulin: I'm all for you getting a star, but I signed the Hatey McLife star petition earlier today, but you can be second in line.
Summerbabe: I was hoping you were a Cardinals fan.. I really think Ankielosaurus is a great commenter name, but being a Tribe Fan I'm not sure. Assuming you're an all around Cleveland fan I'd go with (Brady) Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn) , Super Sizemore Me or From Dusk till LeBron
Even though it's available all year, my favorite brew to drink in the summer is , but hard to find outside CO. Sam Adams Summer is a real good brew. (The only Sam adams seasonal I dislike is the White ale.)
@CaptainHomeless: The referees already seem content to hand it over, I think we just have to go through the formality of playing through the playoff games.
Seriously, Bron bron doesn't get called for fouls as much as other players, even star SG/SF types.
@The Devil and Daniel Murphy: @Saberhagendaaz: Well, the more literal aspect is the Narrator's sleep disorder. Durden only appears when the Narrator is in his waking-asleep state. So, when his "eyes are open," he is consciously himself, facing Durden directly.
@ZombieTorre: I honestly wasn't all that impressed with Zodiac. Se7en is excellent, obviously. But I think it's pretty clear Fight Club is still his best movie.
@StevePerryPsychOut: But why else would Lily be so offended that she'd disappear for "four weeks" (you know, other than Alyson Hannigan was so pregnant, they needed to write her out of the episode somehow)?
@Craig Eshericks Mustache: "Because" is the answer to a "why" question, not a "what is the difference" question. If you asked "why are peanut butter and jam different?" you might be able to make "because" work in the answer.
Also, regarding pregnant women on that show, I could barely stand the ways they were trying to hide Cobie Smulders' pregnancy. Those pajamas and blouses weren't covering anything. I almost wish they'd written her pregnancy into the story.
@Saberhagendaaz: Yes, I did. I have the northern view, so I look at/over a condo building, and up the lake/into LP/Lakeview/Wrigleyville. When a clear day happens, I should be able to see Wrigley. Fortunately, I do not have an office on the east or west walls, which look directly into partner offices (it's weird).
Nice offices - remind me lots of the SF office, actually. Also, the conference center is kinda on the pimped out side.
@Craig Eshericks Mustache: Nice! In my old office in SF, we also had a weird building layout and although I had a great NE view over the bay, half of my window looked right into the managing partner's office. Fortunately, I could pull my curtain over that part, but it still made me paranoid as hell.
While we're here, I've seen the movie countless times and read the book but I've always missed the significance of his eyes being open when he shoots himself. Is there some earlier reference to it in the movie/book that explains how it kills Tyler but not him? Can any of you help me out here?
@Saberhagendaaz: Never read the book, so you would be in a better position to answer this than me.
That said, I thought the idea was just that he wasn't "blinding himself" to his other side by closing his eyes anymore. Durden was the manifestation of his repressed, unconscious self, which he faced head-on by having his eyes open when he shot himself.
@Jay Cutler's Insulin: It's nice to have- but I feel like I have to live up to it, and I really don't know as though I deserve it. I mean, I look at a lot of the other starred people and don't consider myself in the same league.
Wow, Matt Holliday just got away with robbery and he knew it with that smile. A popped up ball hits the grass first, then bounces into his glove, he throws to first and gets the double play with Youk falling off 1st base.
@DM: Speaking of the CL, Holy goal-scoring batman! I just saw the final score of Chelsea/Liverpool. What happened? I was more concerned with the other game, hoping that Bayern would lay another egg this week.
@Summerbabe: Wow a whiskey drinking soccer babe!! Woo-hoo! I don't know what the eff happened to 'Pool, they had Chelski and should have jsut put them away for fuck's sake! Benitez left Gerrard completely out of the lineup. I'm not sure whether he was hurt that bad or Benitez had a bug up his ass! Either way, THEY COULD HAVE SHUT UP STAMFORD BRIDGE. Aaaaarghhhh!!
I think Barca's saving their best, and I don't think anyone's stopping them.
@Steve U: I thought it was "Slanted and Disenchanted." I could have gone with "Loretta Cleveland's Scars." Of course that might not have solved my "gender identity" problem.
@Summerbabe: That's right, I knew I've seen something like that around.
Speaking of music, I've been listening to Navy Blues by Sloan tonight for the first time in ages. This album is fucking incredible. Has to have one of the greatest opening few tracks of any rock record in the past 10 years.
Although by now, it's probably more than 10 years old.

I promise, I will not even complain if the league hands LeBron the title the way they did with Wade in 2006.

Also, watch our for wizards and witches. You don't want to get transfigured into a bison. They are endangered and very tasty.

Also, this guy agrees with me on the lack of effort in hiding the pregnancies:

I would have to re-watch Fight Club, since I have only seen it 2 or 3 times with none of them being recently, to grasp that.
When it comes to Fincher, I am way more into Se7en and Zodiac.

/kind of annoyed you pointed it out; more annoyed I didn't notice it first
I tend to think that they're just giving up now with the hiding, and just going with the meta-humor/expecting us not to notice or something.

Of course, he's a zombiecommenterman, so he just resurrects and starts the cycle all over again.
