YES

I think I'm pretty in my pretty pink dress when I look in the mirror.

Other than my enormous narcissistic ego, there are many sifters who I'd like to consider friends, or you know as much friends as you can be on a website (that's not adultfriendfinder).

alien_concept is my long lost love, stoved away in her British castle somewhere, and some times when I lean in to the wind, I think I can hear her rocking out to Muse, hair down and horns up. Also she's a terrific sifter and awesome person.

schmawy is a guy I wanna give a hug and buy a beer. He's just so damn friendly - there's gotta be an angle!

I miss UsesProzac, because we were always pretty chummy (we were stalking each other secretly, or not so secretly). I have a feeling she'll be back one day once her spawn arrives, and hopefully she'll be friendlier to her otherwise sworn enemies. (Lord knows mommies are less ferocious than nonnies.. right? Right??)

Which brings me to thepinky, who I'm glad to have around just to stir up some shit and to have an earnest discussion with once in a while. Also, she's the baby, gotta love her.

The norwegian boys, haldaug and ornothoron, with their gum-drop smiles and marzipan houses have been presences on the sift lately.

Their otherwise troll-like kinsman Rasch187 is a huge pillar of the sift and is our resident necromancer, reviving dead videos everywhere. And even if we butt heads once in a while, he great around here.

Peggedbea is a gal with spunk, who says what on her mind - we need more of this in the comments and talks. She's also adorable. And I'm going to visit her in TX this summer, which can only end in tragedy.

The usual suspects, Kronosposeidon, Blankfist and Rottenseed are also impossible to miss around here. They are the easy targets for our thread jacking (and other jacking) jokes, but they are formidable presences around here too. They all give and take a lot of ass gravy, and I would drink a beer with any one of them. John, Heath and Jive Mittens, I salute you.

DFT and issy are always around when miaws are heard. Furries both, I'm sure of it.

arvana's our kind-hearted nature guy. I don't think I've ever seen an angry comment from this dude. I suppose he's become a reasonable adult now that he's cut his hippie hair (yeah, I remember).

Netrunner and mintbbb are also excellent people. NR is our primary source of politico stuffs and mint is all over the place - prolific is a good label.

Oh, Berticus is pretty much identical to myself, which is AWESOME. You all need to learn interests from this man - Arrested Development is the best live-action comedy show on the planet.

I'm forgetting people, but I want to save my Canadian sweetheart for last - NicoleBee is my nerdly counterpart who first really caught my attention, when she tried to summon an elder god on my profile. Those are some serious nerd-points right there, and I would give her my heart, if I didn't know she'd use it for some sort ritual in the Canadian woods. ♥

You've found my weakness - Bloopers, swearing and Portia de Rossi, all mixed up in an Arrested Development casserole.

The rant David Cross went on at the end was spot on. Couldn't agree more, and it blows me away how Fox completely mishandled easily one of the best shows ever to exist. Perfect writing, perfect cast, it's unique, its got an immense amount of character, and it's so much fun to watch.

The only show comparable to its' writing style (sort of) and innovation is 30 Rock, and even that ultimately isn't as good. And look at the success! See, Fox?

Grrr....

Good in Arrested Development, good at playing the same awkward teenager again and again but man he's just a bad actor here.

Tennenbaums and Aquatic = I agree, me no get. Rushmore neither. Seinfeld's fucken funny though and Curb has its moments.

Yes.

>> ^Trancecoach:
Man, you guys need a humor refresher course. Arrested Development and Curb Your Enthusiasm are hilarious!


No, really we don't... it's each to their own. Some people find these hilarious... others, like me, don't.

I don't think those that find these hilarious don't have a sense of humour, it's just a different one to me, and would inform my listening to their suggestions for comedies to watch, because I know I might not enjoy what they do.
