So he spent the better part of a decade drinking beer at a sports bar?

See, that was really a 180 degree turn around for Fraiser's character. In Cheers he hung around in a bar and drank beer and chatted about sports. In Fraser he became this wine/cognac snob who only went to snobby places.

Nah, he just had a different crowd to hang with, and that was their thing. He's: flexible.

Yeah. The makers of the show said that Niles is what Frasier would have been if he had never gone to Boston.

And who says I wasn't equating Minsky to Niles, anyways? :P

Great line from a YouPorn commenter:

Quoteits great to see a real sexual experience. but what is up with that dudes orgasm? he sounds like a 14th century poet who just got shoved.

"Forsooth! I cometh!"


And on that note, I found a Firefox plug-in that lets you download flash videos, like the ones you find on porn sites. I downloaded at least several hundred mb worth yesterday.  :blush:

The system is crazy.
I've got a job, starting in August, yet to get my unemployment money I have to apply for a job every week. Except it's hard to find ones I could realistically be applying for, if I apply for any tat I'll be shouted at.

I do, because they sometimes provide information about the scene which is not presented by the uploader (e.g., the actress' name), and there are occasional witticisms that make me laugh.

You watch curling.

Well, curling and porn have a lot in common - they both depict attempts to get one's rocks off.  ;)

I rarely watch curling other than the Olympics.

I actually curl though.  :scots:
