@zach- it's talking about How I Met Your Mother. The show bugs me. But I think we've been over how things with total lies as titles bug me.

I don't even know what that's talking about. Oh, I have another thing to add to this thread. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the animated movie) Good... GOD. This is one of the more overplayed of the Dr. Seuss movies. And to top it off, it doesn't really add anything to the book, except perhaps one of THE most annoying narrators around (second only to the damn dog from Rock-a-Doodle) and dialogue that is jittered about because the damn narrator keeps jumping in with a "he said with a devious grin", while the screen is shown with the Grinch having a devious grin. I CAN SEE WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE SCREEN JUST FINE, YOU DAMN GOOF.Books are NOT screenplays. You're supposed to let the action tell itself in a film! Agh... The book and the plot I have absolutely no problem with. It's the movie itself I have a problem with. At the risk of sucking away a lot of your free time, you seem to be describing Narrating The Obvious.

Aw, I love the narrator in The Grinch. He's got a fine voice and brings a nice warmth to the story.

Isn't the narrator in How the Grinch Stole Christmas(cartoon), Boris Karloff?? If you don't know who Boris Karloff is, he's one of the greatest old timey horror actors. He was in some of the best horror movies from the 1930s & 1940s, and the original Frankenstein's monster.

I will murder the next ass hat that brings up how awesome football is, even though the damn season for it is basically over! I really don't want to hear about how hard you get on the idea of a bunch of giant men running around, grabbing each other while carrying a ball and grunting the whole time. If I wanted that, I'd watch some freaking gay porn. At least then I can (some what) enjoy it too.
Edit: missed a few words.

Aye. I will never understand football or its fans. One of those things were I really do -not- see the appeal.

I find football boring. It's like, start, ten seconds of playing, stop for a minute, start, ten more seconds of playing, stop for another minute, and so on.
I like hockey, although that's pretty much required for a Canuck.

Isn't it borderline treason to dislike hockey in Canada?

Probably just how its borderline treason to dislike baseball in the States.
Oh, did I mention I'm not fond of baseball, either? Or, really...any sports, for that matter.

I don't mind team rivalries when it's all in good humour. I've had a few fun back and forths with Edmontonians over the Flames/Oilers rivalry. It does become ridiculous when people start taking it too seriously, though.
Borderline treason?

I like 'underdog' teams sometimes and I catch hell because apparently you should only go for the winner if you're going to be into sports? O.o

I'm not much into sports, but it gets on my nerves when people are complete dicks about their hatred for it. "OMG, people are wasting their time and money at a game?" Um, it's called a hobby. Most people have hobbies, something they're passionate about. You don't get to be a dick just because you can't understand or relate to that particular hobby.

The only sport I pay attention to is football. To those of you outside North America, I do not mean soccer, I mean 'American Football.' College and NFL, other than that, I don't care for basketball, baseball, hockey, and especially NASCAR.
