who's got the bagels and cream cheese?

Also, the bagels you provide on bagel-Thursdays are really just glorified dinner rolls with seeds on them. I'd personally not even like to have bagel-Thursdays if they're not going to be kosher. Maybe we could use the money for something else? Like some decent f-ing coffee?

The Louis CK vid set in a bagel shop would have been the most hilarious if incomprehensible scene in comedy history.

Has hangover, needs coffee. Not mutually exclusive.

The coffee in the Louis CK video is not the primary subject of the video. The coffee plays an insignificant, incidental role in the context of the clip. It would have been an identical video if he was buying a bagel from a bakery. The focus of that video is his hangover, not the coffee.

I haven't yet had time to view every video submitted for the contest, but if you feel there are other posts that should be disqualified for not meeting the stated eligibility requirements, please let @dag or myself know and we'll be happy to investigate. It would be unfair to accept any video with someone simply drinking a cup of coffee, especially when so many other videos adhere to the contest requirements.

@JiggaJonson - Maybe the videos you cited should be booted. If that's the case, they will be. Thanks for pointing them out! [edit] Those videos have been disqualified from the contest. Thanks again!

I was taught that when Ive made a mistake, I need to take action to make things right, not get paid to do interviews about it.
First, if I had realized what I had done was wrong, I would have gone straight to the lab and pulled all the wires out of the thing, and destroyed the plans. He didnt.
Or...I would have been in Japan after the war ended, trying to help those who are still getting cancer from the mess I helped create. He didnt. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7917541)

Ive made plenty of "contributions to science", but you don't see anyone excusing me of war crimes


Or... Or... I would have turned the sun into a continuous ray of joy that would shine down on everyone and stun them all into complacent happiness. And then I would call down my mighty unicorn stead and fly around throwing bagels of satisfaction to compliment the ray of joy.

Obviously that is silliness, but I feel the same way. When I read history books, I constantly find myself... well, simply ashamed of people not acting in the way I think they should have. I've heard that saying about "walking a mile in someone's shoes", but I think it is utter b.s. because the only thing that matters is what I think. I don't need to know what they were thinking at the time or the external forces involved, I want to judge based only on what I know right now and, damnit, no one is going to stop me. This is my right because no situation in the past is ever different from the situation that I am in right now. Other people don't seem to realize that and it is my burden to have to deal with those cretins. It is a solemn task to have to judge all of this past actions by everyone, but I feel it is my duty to do so because I am right.

jealous. Oh and just to add fuel to @shuac 's raging jealousy, we have all of the 1st edition 1st printings signed in mint condition.

While working as an intern at ABC Sports, Peter Jennings approached me at the commissary and asked whether a particular bagel (in a pile of bagels) was egg. I said, "I'm not sure." Whoo, someone pinch me. That same week in NYC, I rode in an elevator with Brian Setzer at the Mayflower hotel.
But my real 15 min was when Ben Fong-Torres, longtime editor of Rolling Stone, called me on the phone and asked me about the song I'd written about him. That was exciting.



Jealous? No, I was merely sharing my story like the others. And I'm a Kindle guy so I have no particular affinity for physical books nor do I collect autographs. I'm quite enjoying GRRM though: currently reading Clash of Kings.

I AGREE! This has been one of the first things I've come to question since coming to this country. That and why they put soooo much cream cheese on your bagel at Dunkin Donuts. Seriously, WTF.

REMIND ME TO PROMOTE!!!

@shagen454
i dont know where you were on the east coast but when i lived in brooklyn, walmart was trying to get in and the community came out everytime to protest.outback made it in and closed within a year because NO ONE went out to eat there.
i loved that about brooklyn.
you didnt go to some chain supermarket for your meats,you went to frank and sals.
you got the best bagels from the corner bakery (forgot the name) or if you wanted homemade tiramsau at 4am you headed to ferreros.
all family run businesses spent the money they made right back in to the community,unlike a corporate chain.

and for those talking about corporations and how great their service is?
pffft (fart noise)
heres a story for you kids concerning the altruism of corporations:
in the 90's there were hundreds of family produce businesses catering to local resturaunts.
nobody would buy from sysco(one the largest rest. supplier).so sysco got together with such companies as allied and usfoods and they literally cut their produce by half.
they sandbagged every family operation.
so when you had the price of a case of lettuce at 10-12 bucks from the family,sysco could get it for you for 6-7 bucks.
that was too sweet a deal for the local eateries and within a year those family businesses were DONE.
and lo and behold that 12$ case of lettuce jumped to 35$ when those families were no longer in the competition.
which of course affected everything from prices to quality.
the corporation has the resources and political might to crush any family run business which leaves us all with the tired vanilla cookie cutter sameness and a lame landscape of chain stores and strip malls.an un-originality that drains the soul and sucks all the color out of any kind of uniqueness that once was the family run business.
most people dont even notice until they find their neighborhood unrecognizable.
people never notice until it directly affects them and THEIR tiny little bubble of existence and THEN it becomes a federal case of persecution.

cry me a river you self-centered twat.
