They're ok. I actually prefer a bit of a tummy over abs.
- Derrick
I'm with Derrick. They're alright, I wouldn't kick them out of bed, but I've seen better. They're a little too overly muscular and generic beefcake. Give me a little more character please. Although, I have to state for the record, I'm an absolute sucker for firemen's pants. Something about those wide utility suspenders and brown turnout pants. mmm.
- veo
Derrick is the worst gay. I can't believe he hadn't already liked this. God.
- Andrizzle Gizzle
Yeah. I know people fawn over Brad Pitt and the likes, but you know who I'm crushing on? Steve Carrell. Make me laugh, and you'll have breakfast in bed for life.
- Derrick
I know I have some matches around here somewhere. Let's see...put all my computers and clothes in the car and park it down the street...move the motorcycles from the side of the house...what about my books and games...oh, nm, too much work, I'll just look at the pictures.
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
Hey, I've heard from co-worker who tried to wrestle a moving limo that the firefighters in our town are hot, too! (or virtually shameless bump)
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
though on the same pg w/ D for the most part ~ I feel a boing! boing! nonetheless
- sofarsoShawn
I don't see what the big deal is. All of these guys are obviously photoshopped and are on steroids and are child molesters and tax cheats and used car salesmen.....ok, ok, FINE! I admit it. I'm a little bit (just a little) less attractive than these kitten-kicking lowlife bastards.

When I was in kindergarten, we made these with red and green crayons.
- Laura Lou Who
Alright, for some reason this reminds me of the phone call I had with my mother Sunday, when we both started talking in really crappy Sean Connery accents. Fabuloush!
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
If it's a school picture, you KNOW it's Olan Mills! At least, that's the way it was around here. Those folks had a lock on the uncomfortably posed photo market.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
uncomfortable pose? looks pretty comfortable to me lol :P
- Rob Sellen :o)
And then I had pull over to consider who was hotter. Right now, my money's on Jude Law because of his leather gloves, walking stick, and bowler.
- cecily
I don't know...the lowered gaze and smirk on R.Downey Jr makes him so hot
- Katie: Whelmed Overly
Yes, true. I don't want to say how much time I spent looking at the poster, but I will say I was 10 minutes late for work.
- cecily
Instead of the "Oh look something shiny" issue, this is more of a "Oh look, something with the hotness"
- Katie: Whelmed Overly
Urrgh. A "chick-flick in disguise" if ever there was one. If you listen very carefully, you can hear Sir Arthur Conan Doyle spinning in his grave...
- Andrew Terry
Yeah, spinning because he's excited that people still care about his work! (I love the stories, but am still excited for this)
- Lo is a Quitter
too bad about the hints of the supernatural that appear in the trailer.
- DJF
I know, right? Have you seen the trailer? *fans self* Robert Downey Jr. NEKKID CHESTICLES.
- Laura H.
<sarcasm>God forbid that Hollywood should take a work of literature and change elements of it! That's never happened before! </sarcasm>
- cecily
I had no interest in seeing this until I saw the recent trailers. Looks like it'll be a fun movie!
- Herb Hernandez
Cecily, I had no problem with the Matt Frewer Sherlock Holmes thing. the supernatural is not something that fits into the very concrete and materialist/empiricist worldview of the canon, even if Doyle did dabble in it a bit.
- DJF
All the people who rush out to see this will surely be HUGE A. Conan Doyle devotees, doubtlessly clutching their first editions of "A Study In Scarlet" in their hot little hands. Up next: a retelling of "Moby Dick" featuring sexy Captain Ahab and even sexier Moby Dick. Cha-ching!!
- Noah Belson
DJF, my sarcastic comment wasn't directed at you. I haven't seen the trailer, so I don't really know what supernatural elements you're talking about.
- cecily
@DJF - I'd respectfully disagree; a major part of the canon involves Holmes /debunking/ claims of the supernatural in favor of the unusual, but concrete, cause of whatever mystery he was tracking. I'm hoping the movie takes a Hound of the Baskervilles turn.
- Jennifer Dittrich
++ Jennifer, that would be great. Now I'll be disappointed if that's not how it goes.
- Lo is a Quitter
'doh! Now it will be all my fault if it is all freaky :P (I'm sort of viewing this as awesome SH fan-fiction -- everyone is prettier, talks with modern dialog, and there's lots of nudity. I'm all for these things.)
- Jennifer Dittrich
I say it again, "wimmenz"... objectifyin' the male form and stuff... we're more than just "meat" you know... uhm aren't we?
- MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS
Not if I can help it, MASTER.....(that comment was funnier in my head)
- Katie: Whelmed Overly
Jennifer, I hope you're right, but Hollywood doesn't have the greatest track record in this area.
- DJF
True, though I've (generally) liked Guy Richie's(SP? toolazytolook) stuff better than most. I know it will likely be pretty frenetic, and have some very good lines.
- Jennifer Dittrich
I do like "Beneath this pillow lies the key to my release"
- DJF
Call me an old fuddy-duddy, but I think this movie looks terrible.
- Jeremy (cropmarks)
you need to see the Grove on Fairfax. The parking lot is an informercial for this movie. Lots of HUGE pics of the dudes in the film. LOTS
- Morgan Haley
I'll meet you there, Derrick. :) We were just talking about this film at lunch, actually. Funny. Then my (female) coworker piped up with "ooh, Rachel McAdams is in it, now I really want to see it!" (Not that I disagree, I like Rachel McAdams, too, it's just funny that she was the one to bring it up.)
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
yeah, sorry. it's in LA. right next to the Farmers Market, home of DuPars.
- Morgan Haley
This thread warmed my heart in multiple ways but thanks to you guys (and my reading this thread to my fiance [big SH fan]) I now have to take her to the opening of this. We've seen the trailer 2x now & had intended to see it at some point but this thread has put it into opening day mode for her. She's a big fan of opening show crowds; I am not. ;) But, seriously, thanks for the entertainment & good thoughts.
- Mar₭ Liŋdŋer
Laura, thank you! I hadn't noticed the nekkidness in the trailer before you mentioned it, but last night I kept an eye out and was richly rewarded. Wish it were out NOW.

@Brian: some of us still use some "legacy" hardware. i have a couple of machines with ISA slots that get fired up regularly cos they run things i need that have no modern analogue.

I still hold on to the stylus for a long dead PDA simply because the tip pops off to reveal a reset doohickey.

I think we have one machine around on our network that has a diskette drive -- but it is a dinosaur in computer terms and it hasn't had a diskette in it within recent memory and I am not sure we even have any.
- Brian Sullivan
I have a dozen of those scattered around my desk at any given time. I make it, lose it, make another, find the first one, lose them both, make another ......

Another good tool is a yarn needle. (That's right...your grandma has some mad geek tools in her sewing box) They are huge, have rounded tips (no sharp point), and the eyes are big enough to allow you to put a piece of strong string through them and tie them to something on your desk so they don't "get away". They come in both metal and plastic varieties. http://www.youtube.com/watch...

"London-based agency Hu2 Design has created a slick set of “Sustainable Habitat Reminder” wall stickers that aim to raise energy awareness by revealing a fantastical set of inner workings behind standard plugs and switches. From hamster-powered generators to Franklin-esque lightning storms, these stickers offer clever explanations for the power running through our walls that make you think twice about where your energy does comes from. We do wish that they weren’t made from vinyl (which can contain harmful chemicals) but we appreciate how their added dose of enlightenment can inspire energy efficiency with the flick of a switch."

My little grandpa use to wear hats like that. Ah, nostalgia.
- Katy S
Tamara, I have TONS of hats. I have a couple fedoras, and a bowler, but I have like four of these driver's caps that I rotate through. When it gets cooler or rains, I have some knit caps that are nice.

It sucks for the user, but as a content provider you have to get those ads out there if you want your bottom line covered. No ads = no more content, no more providing.
- Sparky
I want to say HTML 5 will help this? And studies show that plain text ads have higher click-through rates then other, multimedia advertising. At least, according to TWiG.

++Zulema - Sock Dreams is awesome, awesome, awesome. I love that they give calf measurements for most of their long socks, so you have a good idea of what will fit (esp. if you have monster calves like mine)

I just don't understand why people write articles on the web that aren't dated. It's very frustrating. I wish web pages were required to have a creation date that could be used for search and was displayed by browser in a standard way.
If your review of a product was worth writing, isn't it worth letting the reader know if it's even relevant now? Will we be bogged down in information overload in 10 years because so much stuff will be out of date?
- Cristo
...because some writing is just timeless. Shakespeare, Proust, Joyce, and the guy blogging about how solid state hard drives will change the world. you just can't timestamp greatness.

Fuck Tiger Woods. He is not significant in people's life, but every freaking day every freaking second, we hear he did this , he did that. Fuck MSM.
