I like the bits with Jennifer Aniston in Horrible Bosses.

I'm hard pressed to like any scene with Jennifer Aniston. -_-

Every episode? I dunno about that.

For instance, finding out that Phoebe had bullied Ross as a child and they forgot about it was kind of a  :rolleyes: plot.

After the technological singularity we will not have sexes or hormones, so none of this will matter.

The technological singularity sounds mega boring.

If you're so keen on this singularity, why don't you prepare for it by cutting off your "honeybread"?

It sounds kind of like Judgment Day, in fact.
  One time my mother in law was like:
"I just can't wait to die and be reunited with the Lord in Heaven!"

ME:  "What do you think you'll be doing all day up there?"

HER:  "Praising Jesus!"

Personally I'd rather go to Hell. :hmm:

It's a lot like judgement day.  It's some silly techno-rapture.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Back at Religion class at my Jesuit high school somehow the topic of Heaven came up.  The lay teacher explained that in his opinion heaven would be a lot like a wedding feast - good food, some dancing and music, all with friends and family you don't ever get to spend enough time with.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

That actually sounds pretty cool.  Sitting around screaming "PRAISE JEEBUS!" and chestbeating is a whole different ballgame. :)

I only was to two weddings. Both were as a kid and I thought they were horrid.

I hope hell is more like a nightclub.

Weddings can be awesome or terrible.  My brother's wedding so so terrible I was embarrassed for him and his wife even though they didn't have sense enough to be embarrassed for themselves.  I apologized to all my friends who made the trip.

My wedding however was pretty epic.  Nice short ceremony, great food, plenty of wine, and I made my first and last singing performance with a live band (song was La Bamba and I nailed it).  Party lasted til sun-up the next morning.
