Stone Temple Pilots Ft. Chester Bennington, Black Keys, Thirty Seconds To Mars Bring The Rock To Weenie Roast 2013 « The World Famous KROQ - http://kroq.cbslocal.com/2013...
"While the Black Keys and 30 Second to Mars were the undeniable headliners, it was the Stone Temple Pilots who shocked and delighted the sold-out show with a surprise set of their enduring radio hits like “Vaseline” and “Interstate Love Song.” But instead of the embattled Scott Weiland at center stage, the band emerged on the rotating stage with Chester Bennington from Linkin Park on the mic, admirably leading STP with spot-on vocals and even imitating some of Weiland’s signature serpentine stage moves."

Highlights the surprise STP appearance which literally melted faces like the Ark in Indiana Jones. Quite the surprise and doesn't hurt all greatest hits set +1. Of Monsters and Men much better than I expected for an unknown now I have to buy the album.

I'm still so jealous, but ridiculously happy you got to go. So happy you and J had an awesome time!! I thought of you guys as I was driving past the venue on my way home last night.
- Tamara J.
Thirty Seconds to Mars fell victim to coming after STP and the begging disease. Leto insisted on asking the crowd to "make some f'ng noise" "get f'ng loud" over and over. The crowd was confused as we just deafened the world for STP music but we're not loud enough when you're not doing anything. It didn't help he mumbled all the non chorus lyrics so when he said to sing along we were all "um, we don't know what you're singing." Still entertaining there just not as good as they think they are.

Thanks Tamara it was awesome and since it took two hours to get out of parking lot we should have just walked to your place.

Silversun Pickups had the unfortunate task of following Imagine Dragons. First time I've ever seen 30,000 people leave to take a pee break at once.
- Surprisingly Monstrous
That happened one year when I was at Lollapalooza. Smashing Pumpkins took the stage, and half the crowd decided that was a good time to hit the port-a-potties.

Is peeping not illegal? Even if the photos themselves are not illegal, I would imagine the act of peeping on his neighbors, with or without a camera, is still less than legal, isn't it? Maybe they should all take out restraining orders against him.

Teaching Thing 1 a valuable life lesson. Some guy was handing out "come work for us" business cards to every student at her school, so she decided to fill out the application. I had to explain to her why that was a bad idea. Thank goodness for the Internet, where I could just search for info about the company to prove to her it's a scam.
I explained to her that any company that's going to be handing out cards to *every single person* they come across is probably not a company she wants to work for.

Sounds like a *cough* former employer *cough* of mine. ;)

This particular company is called "Vector Marketing". Looked it up. Apparently they give you an interview, then tell you you're hired, then tell you you have to pay all kinds of money before you can start doing your work ("sales kit", training, etc.)

I mean, if Doctor Who is still around in another 50 years, I feel like they will have had to either ignore or undo a lot of the things Moffat has written into his story lines. It's great storytelling, but it seems shortsighted.

"He's earned the moniker of feminist seemingly through just the creation of strong female characters alone. But, as friend and scholar Jake says, "Having a girl beat up guys is not equivalent to a strong female character when they ALWAYS, CONSTANTLY depend on men." So true! Let's consider some of his body of work as we undertake the Topic that Made the Fanboys Cry: Joss Whedon's feminism."

Oh dear heaven, I just realized I may be a Kaylee. I had such mixed feelings about her. I couldn't stand how she was the "Willow" of the show, with the wishy-washy cutecutegag talk. I loved that she was a bad-ass technician, and I related to her man troubles and practical attire.
- MiniMage
I think the article makes some really good points, but I also think it completely misses the larger picture (especially when it comes to BTVS): Whedon wrote a show about high school/college-aged people. No matter how strong or independent they are, no matter how feminist they are, they're still teenagers/young adults, and they're still human. They're inherently going to still be...

How cool is this? Apparently David Boreanaz is the commencement speaker at Ithaca College's ceremony today. Yesterday was his birthday, so he went out drinking in Ithaca, and even sang a karaoke song with some of the Ithaca seniors (sadly, though, they sang GooGoo Dolls "Slide", not Manilow's "Mandy")
My mother was from Atlantic City if that allows for her use of this acronym. Or having a five year old ask what is a "whore" bath. I will leave the hiney song for another post.

Until I read the comments here, I would have assumed the same thing as Soup. I thought it was about the Parent Teacher Association holding a fundraising car-wash. Now that I've seen the comments, though, I realize it's a totally different thing.

Good straw man. Shows you being ignorant of what I actually said.
- Jimminy IS Everybody
Except it's not a straw man at all, Jimminy. That's exactly what Johnny is doing. I'm sure he's trying to be funny, but not really succeeding. And once again, this is not about you.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
I mean, come on, Jimminy, you aren't one of the people getting left behind, you are one of the people leaving others behind you.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Alex, but for the OP the same could be said about the negatives of a technology or product. The individual doesn't have to be ignorant to the benefits to still decide not to use it.
- Jimminy IS Everybody
Alex, possibly, but even if I was I don't care. I'm always going to be left behind in some fashion, even if I'm leading in others.

Wait. So, this isn't related to the fact that Adobe isn't selling physical copies of their Creative Suite anymore? :P
- DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
I'm not ignoring the benefits. Believe it or not I have 3 exceptional use cases for the technology... but I'm not slobbering over it with froth'd mouth like this will change everything. I get the passion, I don't get the blow back cause I don't share that passion like I'm somehow missing the point or a luddite. Technology won't save us, our proper use of said technology will. Blind faith in technology is misguided

I'm not slobbering over it either because A) it's too damn expensive B) not particularly useful to me yet 3) my brother in the shower iiii) racecar. If you at least have the vision to see where this technology could lead, then we really have no quibbles. The great thing about technology is that it usually works regardless of whether you think it will.

"Looks like the 2013-2014 television season will be a rebuilding year for SNL. An unnamed source at NBC has confirmed to the New York Post that longtime castmember Fred Armisen has decided to exit the sketch show after 11 seasons. That same source tells the Post that SNL veteran Jason Sudeikis will “probably” leave the show as well this year."
- Surprisingly Monstrous
from Bookmarklet
"If Armisen and Sudeikis do say goodbye in SNL‘s 38th season finale this weekend, they’ll join fellow departing cast member Bill Hader, who announced his own exit earlier this week. SNL‘s Weekend Update anchor Seth Meyers is also leaving the show, albeit not until 2014"
- Surprisingly Monstrous
Oh. They meant "out of the show". I totally thought the headline meant "out of the closet together"
- DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
Jason Sudeikis is engaged to Olivia Wilde so if i was him i'd wait for that to fall apart before coming out of the closet.

Sending special love to LB and Mr. B today as they make a tough decision about their dog Frodo. The vet discovered that he has a large mass in his stomach and the tumor has spread.
Yes Mary -- You are right! What a year for them! I know they appreciate your thoughts and all the messages FFeeps are sending. xo
- Lois: #TeamMonique
That's so sad, and so hard to struggle with emotionally. You want to keep them with as long as you can, but you also don't want them to suffer. Been there. Thinking of you,LB and Mr. B.

You've probably seen Laura's update. They decided to have him put down as he was no longer eating. Sad and hard but a very wise decision. Love my Sis and Bro!

Love Supernatural, but I think it should have ended when the creator wanted it to end...like two-three seasons ago.
- Shevonne
Let's hope they don't go the way of Smallville. That completely sucked at the end.
- Todd Hoff
While it is a rather different show than it was seasons 2-5, I still think they've done a great job with it. I hope they can keep it going that way for 2 more seasons.

I still haven't quite figured out how to set up the power settings in Windows 8. You can edit the "Power Plan" in the desktop, but I'm not sure the Windows 8 ecosystem actually follows that (unless you set it to go to sleep more quickly than the Windows 8 defaults). That may have changed since the last time I tried this, though.

"'I have never in my life seen such a swollen pelvic bone. It hid the whole package [and] the scrotum was enlarged. Right now it feels heavy and unreal.'" o_O — maybe I'm grossly misinterpreting this, but it sounds like the dude quoted found his neighbor dead after he tried to f- a hornet's nest, and the first thing he did was grab his penis and scrotum to feel how "heavy and unreal" they were?
- Victor Ganata
I mean, he may just mean that finding his neighbor dead with a massively swollen penis and scrotum after he tried to f- a hornet's nest is "heavy and unreal" and he wasn't actually handling anything, but it is still a very weird juxtaposition.
- Victor Ganata
WTF? How badly does one need to get off that fucking a hornet's nest seems the logical thing to do? Was there no bread loaf in his house that he could hollow out and lube up with mayo? How about a gourd or melon of some sort? Shit, even a big mushy pile of boiled noodles would be preferable to banging a LIVING HIVE OF ANGRY STINGING THINGS.

Eivind, the Swedes are going to say the same thing you wrote above only the sentence ends in "Skåne".
- Spidra Webster
"His body was found by a neighbour, who said Hasse was so swollen he initially mistook him for a whale carcass" - So... how often do whale carcasses wash up in Sweden for this to be the neighbor's first thought?
- Ross Miller
Yeah, it sounded too over-the-top and I didn't think Int'l Bus Times was really that reliable a source, but I think, deep down inside, I probably wanted it to be true.

I don't understand how this makes it any easier to text while holding the umbrella. If the grip were angled 90 degrees or something, I'd be more likely to understand it.

Seeing the post about OUAT getting a spin-off got me wondering. Would you watch a Grimm spin-off about Monroe? I want to love the idea, but I'm not sure it would work unless he brought some of the Grimm cast (he, Rosalie & Bud were really good together last night); if he did that, Grimm wouldn't be nearly as good.
A spin off that focuses on Wesens having to live, work and play with humans might be okay...the mystery/thriller component is what makes Grimm fun to watch, though, so they would need to create some sort of plot line that incorporates that element.
- Corinne L
Yeah, the only thing I can think of to build a show around Monroe would be either a drastic change in his living situation or he gets married with Rosalie and they can't have a half Fuchsbau/half Blutbad kid so they adopt. Wesen-raising hijinks ensue.
- Spidra Webster
I like the idea of a Munsters type of sitcom with Monroe and Rosalie, Spidra. :)
- DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
That would be neat but it would be a little weird to go from a police procedural/goth thing to a sitcom.
- Spidra Webster
Monroe and Rosalie seem so integral to Grimm, that it would feel weird to me. I could see some of the other wesen they've encountered (like the Eisbiber family) having their own adventures, more.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Oh, god yes. I'll bet the Eisbiber lodge could definitely have its own show.
- Spidra Webster
Good casting job. That actor was able to come off as goofy (and goofy-looking) and then was able to come off like the elder Clint Eastwood...

If you think he was being a dick in that episode, wait until you see tonight's episode.
