I was also supposed to be supervising my toddler aged daughter but she had escaped my sight and snuck into my bedroom. There, she somehow managed to find a box of Trojans in a bathroom drawer. She brought the box into the living room and passed out condoms to each YM in the room. They still remind me of that when they come back to the ward to visit.
    LOL!

            • They have a lot of the Frontline episodes available to stream. It's not for everyone (some people feel it has a liberal bias that ruins the show for them), but I find a lot of their shows to be informative and thought-provoking.

              • If you like Jim Gaffigan, you'll be glad to know that his new special "Mr. Universe" is now streaming.

                    He did the whole thing himself and distributed via a $5 download at his website. Only been out a month or so.

                      Just like Louis C.K. Interesting. Funny that is on Netflix so soon. He should have milked the $5 thing a while longer.

                        What kind of coin do you think he's getting for the Netflix distribution?

                          No idea, but I thought the whole reason for going to the $5 website distribution was that these guys got to keep all the profits. I would think he'd want to string that out a bit longer before giving it away for free.

                          I know Louis C.K. made $200k (that's profit) in his first week of offering it online. I think I heard him say later in an interview with Terri Gross that he made something like $2M over all.

                            I remember hearing somewhere that each show watched costs Netflix somewhere around a dollar. That might have been for the shipped DVDs. Not sure how much of their costs are to pay for content, but it has to be less than a dollar per view.

                            • Just watched "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". Can't believe it's taken me this long to get to it. Now one of my all-time favorites.

                                I finally took time to watch this over the weekend, and yes, it is outstanding.
