You can't complain about Parkinsdale if you've been complaining about all the Score hosts for years (as most of us have). He's a competent host who speaks well, has decent thoughts, and isn't insufferable like Bernstein. He's also not an emotional little girl like his partner.

yes you can. you can stop listening to the score. eet's goot.

i've given him a hour. he's like every other jerkoff in media these days trying so hard to make commentary on object into area/hoop/net intelligent. who cares.

That's not going to bode well for their future. Look at spiegs. Struck out twice. My ex also had a gambling thing going. Not to the point that we lost a home, but enough to take over his life. Anyhow, good luck to her. She could probably do better, though she's by no means a looker.


She looks ok to me. I am sure 95% of the people here have much better looking significant others but that goes without saying. Supermodel
WAGs abound on CFMB. :alien:


Well now somebody's gotta post a picture of Parkins' +1.

I'm not saying I doubt this new poster is a girl. All I'm saying is that I would be checking for balls before getting too involved.

Spiegs and Jay are playing R.E.M. songs and Danny has no idea who they are. Danny says it might be New Kids on the Block or Nirvana.

Didn't he pull this shit before? Dan is a little bit older than me but there is NO way you could have gone to college in a 10 or so year time frame and not have been inundated with REM music...especially a guy who went to school pretty close to their home.

Music "snob" or not, not knowing who R.E.M. Even is is pretty lame.
They were on a Simpsons episode for fucks sake

Yes exactly. I think the whole music thing is just a way for Spiegel to feel superior. First off, Parkins is quite a bit younger, so he will necessarily have experienced less music. Then Parkins is not a music guy, while Spiegs is an enthusiast. Now if Parkins didn't know anything about basketball, well then that's a good reason to give him endless shit.

I doubt my teenagers have any clue about REM. I don't know where the age break for knowing REM, but there has to be an age line somewhere.

When did R.E.M lose its mainstream relevance? Had to be by 2000. I'd say if you were born by 1985 or earlier you should know who R.E.M was
in one form or another.

I think you're dead on. My daughter was born in 2000. Parkins is under than 30, right? So he was born in the late 80's?

Post subject:  Re: Parkins is insufferable
There's no way somebody was born in the late 80s, grew up with MTV playing music videos and didn't catch R.E.M. at some point. Even if you weren't a fan, you would have come across it.

Their last big success might have been monster which was 94. Much past that time and my music exposure changed as I moved to Montana. Swear it was 88 in 98 there.

You know "Everybody Hurts," you definitely know "It's the End of the World As We Know It," and you may remember "Man on the Moon" from when Jim Carrey did the Andy Kaufman movie.

I'm not a huge R.E.M. fan, I think a good Greatest Hits comp should give you everything you need and more, but if you're in your late twenties/early thirties and you don't know who R.E.M. is, then what in this world do you know?

Hard not to acknowledge the Grateful Dead as the greatest American band no matter what you think of their music. If not them, you'd have to stretch the definition and say Springsteen and the E Street Band, or Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, or Frank Zappa and the Mothers. Can't buy R.E.M., though.

I thought The End of the World was Billy JOel's song? I did read your list and I know This One Goes out To...

You could argue that Hatchetman is a simpleton.

Green Day seems like a good comparable in terms of success and legacy. I'd probably be just as aghast if someone born in 2000 somehow didn't know "Good Riddance" or "When I Come Around."

Well if solo artists now are bands that is a different matter. And sure if music quality doesn't count the Dead could be.
