"Tom and his brother, Ray, became famous as "Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers" on the weekly NPR show Car Talk. They bantered, told jokes, laughed and sometimes even gave pretty good advice to listeners who called in with their car troubles. If there was one thing that defined Tom Magliozzi, it was his laugh. It was loud, it was constant, it was infectious." - Eric - Final Countdown

(Every other post about the death of Tom Maggliozzi shows a picture with both brothers, so I still didn't know which was which. Now I do. Thanks!) - bentley

"Re-watching Teen Witch more than two decades after I last saw it, I realized I don’t actually completely hate it, even watching with a critical, feminist, 33-year-old eye. There are aspects of the movie that are terrible—the fashion, the rapping, the part where a “wild” character just lists off a bunch of slang terms for “penis”—but that terribleness makes the movie kind of endearing now." - Eric - Final Countdown

"The flow chart of whether African food can give you ebola is pretty simple, actually: the answer is NO YOU MORON. Nevertheless, the fears of an ebola epidemic have hampered business for one African restaurant in particular, Mama Ti’s African Kitchen in Brooklyn Park, Minn. So much to the point that the owners are trying to cover the “African” in the name and change everything to American food. Oh Americans, ruining it for all of us. From Twin Cities’ Fox News: “Now they’re even afraid to shake our hands,” [owner Kellita Whisnant] says. “Just putting that tape up there triggered emotions that I keep down, but that really hurt.” … The restaurant is now considering the possibility of changing the entire menu from Liberian cuisine to American deli food, just to survive. “What could I bring in at this point to satisfy your fear,” Whisnant questions. “Will you come in and eat out of this restaurant if I sell philly cheese? If I do jumbo wings and fries?” Chapter “We’ve Lost Count” in Ways Americans Have Been Dicks and Hurt People Everywhere." - Eric - Final Countdown

Oh my god, I hadn't even seen it. - team everyone

Good grief! - vicster.

You don't think that anyone would interpret this as some sort of biblical prophecy, do you? Nah. - Eric - Final Countdown

"Two USSS K-9s were taken to a veterinarian because they were hurt during an arrest Wednesday night, the Secret Service reported. The Secret Service reported another fence jumper at the White House. Dominic Adesanya, 23, of Bel Air, Md. climbed the North fence line of the White House around 7:16 p.m., according to the Secret Service." - Eric - Final Countdown

"Was A$AP Yams onto something? No seriously? After he went on his infamous rant concerning the state of music in 2014 and labeling this year as the worst in rap history, many people dubbed him insane. Yams touched on a sensitive topic, which in reality, has a plethora of artists in the game shaking in their boots. According to Billboard, there hasn’t been a single artist to go platinum thus far this year. Let that just marinate. That’s right. No albums have went platinum this year. While Rick Ross’ Mastermind and Young Jeezy’s Seen It All tallied in strong week one numbers, they haven’t even touched gold this year. In addition, albums like Wiz Khalifa’s Blacc Hollywood, Iggy Azalea’s The New Classic are also having difficulty tittering over 400,000." - Eric - Final Countdown

Maybe if they were making actual music and not just that noise I keep hearing the kids these days play, then they'd sell more albums. #howsthatforold? - Brian Johns

Pretty old, but kinda true. - Eric - Final Countdown

"If you’ve ever wondered what Jamie Oliver looks like singing a Taylor Swift song … we’d ask you why you would ever wonder that. But now we know, and it’s still kind of weird. But the cakes look good!" - Eric - Final Countdown

""The fact that there even needs to be a Women in Hollywood event is a little bit sad," gorgeous Garner said during the annual event at the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills. "I mean, the men in Hollywood event is every day—it's called Hollywood. Fifty-one percent of the population should not have to have to schedule a special event to celebrate the fact that in an art that tells the story of what it means to be human and alive, we get to play a part."" - Eric - Final Countdown

I guess their idea is that it's only sour grapes if women who aren't gorgeous say such things... - Spidra Webster

Wow, I didn't even notice that, but it is E!. - Eric - Final Countdown

"U.S. stocks resumed a decline after shaving early losses on Wednesday as Europe markets closed in the red and weak domestic economic data weighed heavily on markets. "We're probably going to follow the Europe" markets," Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital, said. Although he expected U.S. stocks to close down, he saw some signs of stability. "I think investors should take advantage of this selloff," he said." - Eric - Final Countdown

"According to Eric Hunsader of Nanex, there were 179 "mini flash crashes" during the first 15 minutes of trading, which is the most since the Knight Capital Group fiasco in August 2012. Additionally, Hunsader reports that there were 68 trades in the S&P e-mini that moved that key futures contract 3 or more ticks. And Treasury futures, too, moved sharply as a result of low liquidity." - Eric - Final Countdown

"Believe it or not but when it comes to hip-hop, celebrities from all different walks of entertainment can’t wait to get a taste. From Aziz Ansari in Jay Z and Kanye West’s “Otis” video to James Brown in MC Hammer’s “2 Legit 2 Quit,” there have been more instances that not when celebs have made cameos in hip-hop videos. Check out XXL’s supercut." - Eric - Final Countdown

"“I tried cocaine, which I instantly loved but eventually hated,” the Saturday Night Live alum, 44, confesses in a chapter titled “Obligatory Drug Stories.” “Cocaine is terrific if you want to hang out with people you don’t know very well and play Ping-Pong all night. It’s bad for almost everything else…The day after cocaine is rough.”" - Eric - Final Countdown

"Wiping, also known as junking is a colloquial term for action taken by radio and television production and broadcasting companies, in which old audiotapes, videotapes, and telerecordings (kinescopes), are erased, reused, or destroyed. Although the practice was once very common, especially in the 1960s and 1970s, wiping is now practiced much less frequently. Older video and audio formats took up much more storage space than modern digital video or audio files, making their retention more costly, thus increasing the incentive of discarding existing broadcast material to recover storage space for newer programmes." - Eric - Final Countdown

Just copy the answers from last year. - bentley

""He was standing next to his mom, his back turned toward the officer and then he shot him twice in the back and then pepper sprayed him. Then they hand cuffed his fiancé, for reasons I don't know why. And the mom went to call the cops and the cop took her phone and threw it against the wall," said Lindenmuth." - Eric - Final Countdown

Not great information at this point. - Eric - Final Countdown

"At last count, the list of portable machines keeping us connected has swelled to include smartphones, tablets, laptops, and, most recently, smartwatches. On one side, this arsenal of mobile devices allows us to create, play, and connect whenever inspiration strikes. Serendipity rules. On the other, there’s something slightly counterintuitive about a mobile lifestyle that requires us to own so many different tools. That’s why over the past few years, it’s become clear that the next era in computing will be defined by streamlining existing services, and reducing the number of devices we need without sacrificing any of their functionality or versatility." - Eric - Final Countdown

"In heavily religious states, abstinence is often pushed as the only safe sex, with very little to offer in the way of sexual education. Unfortunately, that leaves a growing number of people with questions about sex but no answers. Enter Google: the best way to find an answer to personal, possibly embarrassing questions without calling attention to yourself. So of course the study finds that religious communities have a higher percentage of sex-related searches. That’s what happens when you can’t find it elsewhere." - Eric - Final Countdown

Now I'm curious as to the cleaning procedures when the planes get to the US. It was sitting for 4 hours before it was in service again. - Eric - Final Countdown

Went to the TJ in Denver today. Got some cookie butter, sipping chocolate, Halloween Jo joe's, beer & wine. Didn't want to get anything that had to be refrigerated since I was an hour away from home. I'll save cheese & other cold goodies for the one her in C/S. - Elena
