Yeah, think that's safe - the pack at 5-8 is all pretty close and I could see it leaping them all. BLAME THE ELIPSIS

Not really - you can't customize the tabs; you're stuck with what they use. If I could make those tabs match my current multiple inboxes? I'd be much happier. I switched back (new Gmail and multiple inboxes aren't dually compatible).

My favorite bit of time capsule (being a sports nerd on top of it) is that many of those MLS teams listed don't exist any longer or have changed names:

Columbus Crew (still around); Miami Fusion (Ended in MLS in 2001); New England Revolution. (still around); Tampa Bay Mutiny (Ended in MLS in 2001); D.C. United (still around); Chicago Fire (still around); Colorado Rapids (still around); Dallas Burn (Now FC Dallas); Kansas City Wizards (Now Sporting KC); Los Angeles Galaxy (still around); New York/New Jersey Metro-Stars. (Now NY Red Bulls)

This is going to be fun, I have a good feeling.

Nice to see others mentioning Jeremy's awkwardness in the pilot. The Jeremy interview speech (I think specifically the moment when he turns and points and rattles off the years and days Sports Night has been on the air) is always painful, but Dana's "Name Three Things" sign language is f'n hysterical.

That season never happened. Repeat after me....

I know it's probably the 'shippiest of the seasons, but it'd be a shame not to hit up season 3 and the Sean/Elliot/Dani/Soup Nazi stuff. I could watch disc 3 of the season three DVD forever on repeat (as long as I skip the wedding itself, but I'm getting ahead of myself).

In terms of how long to go, I'd probably stop my weekly readings in the post-Cheers episode of season 4, maybe coming back around the Wizard of Oz episode in season 5.

Honky Tonk Union was amazing, and I actually just poured one out for the pre-deregulation 101.5 that actually used to promote the local scene. Late 90s Phoenix Radio, I miss you.

I'm with Myles on a character who appears to be "Lady" during My Philosophy (Kit Pongetti's brief side appearance). Took many rewatches years later to recognize her, but I still can't decide if we can or cannot rule out that it is the same character. I know this is buried way down deep in substories, but I don't ever recall a definitive Janitor line of "We met at the Hospital" versus "She doesn't work here."

Clearly, overanalyzing.

I was kind of hoping that Ted would explain to the gang that Quinn was an Choreo-Animator.

I'd also argue Thirteen by Big Star as the setting for the Two Minute Date and/or Glad Girls from Guided by Voices as Ted traces back along the path of coincidences to reintroduce him to Stella in Right Place, Right Time

New England does not cheer for Boston College. It cheers for the Red Sox and Patriots. Half the city of Newton wishes that Alumni Stadium was sucked into an abyss.

Community missing this list? Either Troy's "Ugh, you are the AT&T of people" or the ultimate Jeff Winger monologue would have been quite enjoyable to see:

"We've known each other for almost two years now. And yeah, in that time, I've given a lot of speeches. But they all have one thing in common: They're all different. These drug runners aren't going to execute Pierce because he's racist! It's a locomotive that runs on us. And the only sharks in that water, are the emotional ghosts that I like to call FEAR, anchovies, FEAR and the dangers of ingesting mercury! Because the real bugs aren't the ones in those beds. And there's no such a thing as a free Caesar salad, and even if there were, The Cape still might find a second life on cable. And I'll tell you why: El corazón del agua es verdad. That water is A LIE! Harrison Ford is radiating our testicles with microwave satellite transmissions! So maybe we are caught in an endless cycle of screw-ups and hurt feelings, but I choose to believe it's just the universe's way of molding us into some kind of super group.."

Re: 20 Most Googled Colleges and Universities

Dave Levy — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 16:32:18 -0000

Even an exact search would include "American Colleges" along side a search for "American College". Flawed method. No questioning when a former 2-year school was the number two result?

Re: 20 Most Googled Colleges and Universities

Dave Levy — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 11:10:09 -0000

Left this comment on a previous post with the results, but figured I'd post at the source as well:

"Completely misleading results, I’m guessing. I think it’s more likely that people are searching “Florida” “University” and it’s pulling up the school. Why else would “South” “American” and “National” come in? Or, say, someone searching for “College in Boston” or “University in Boston”. The only ones you can consider legit are probably Harvard and Duke."
