Since the release of Hipeponymous I have often found myself incorrectly assuming that music I hear/videos I see are The Hip. Example: The opening lyrics to Weezer's "Perfect Situation" are "What's the deal with my brain?" I, in my own sad, little brain complete the lyrics as such, "What's the deal with your dad?". Also...the video for KT Tunstall's "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" (great song, by the way) has starry lights were are reminiscent of the live performance of "Bobcaygeon". Does this happen to anyone else??

I have one of my own. I always think that this:

is the back of Gord Downie's head. I'm sure it's not, but I still think it is.

Good point. :thumb:

Just off the topic a little but referring to Weezer's "Perfect Situation" song: I'm sure most of the guys in here love the video for the certain Canadian female actress who appears in it. Big Grin

Someone a while ago said they try to incorporate Hip lyrics into everyday conversations, so lately I've been trying to do that, especially to see if they notice. It's alot harder than it sounds, but I'll bet I work in 2 or 3 a day, even at work lol

Yesterday in a conversation I said, "well, everyone's got their breaking point"

Noone got it.

I laughed to myself in my head.

I'm a wee bit crazy.

That's funny cuz there's a tree here where I work that's had a garbage bag stuck in it for years. It's now very tattered but every day I see it and sing a little bit of 100th. Makes me smile. :thumb:

Yup, that Elisha Cuthbert is one sexy gal. Too bad her career is going nowhere. I hear she'll be back on 24 this season appearing in a few episodes, which tells me that she went crawling back to Kiefer and company after her attempts at movie stardom bombed. No wonder. Starring in House of Wax with Paris Hilton ain't gonna win her any respect in Hollywood. I'm thinking she needs to fire her agent.

She was on the right path when she starred in the porn star next door movie, but I agree, any movie with Paris Hilton is doomed to fail....unless it's filmed in Sony NightVision...could you imagine Paris and Elisha in NightVision..sweet Jesus!!! OK... back on topic here, I for one am glad to see her get a little piece of humble pie, she deserves that after going out with Sean Avery.

She might also need to learn how to act. I mean let's face it, while she's nice to look at she's no Sarah Polley when it comes to the acting skillz. And as Goulet alluded to, I may never be able to forgive her for dating that assclown Avery.

But yeah, she was in the preview for next week's episodes of 24.
