2/9     Does anyone know what the name of that famous 1920's painting of
        a downtown diner at the street corner.  It was on the cover of
        Winnsberg Ohio and in the Beer Baron episode of the Simpsons.
        \_ I haven't seen either of those, but just from "famous painting of
           a diner" I bet you want Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks". -- goldfarb
           \_ how about that Vincent Vangogh that was used in the Pontiac
              comercial.  What was that one called?
                \-there was a simpsons that had a nighthawks ref. i dont
                remember what other pices there was a ref to but there were
                others --psb
                \_ tell me, what kind of pet store is filled with
                   rambunctious yahoos and hot jazz music at two o'clock
                   in the morning?
           \_ thanks, that was the one. cool site to get free art:

           \_ yup.  There is also a parody of Nighthawks with Marilyn Monroe,
                James Dean, and Humphrey Bogart as the people in the diner.
                \_This is called boulevard of broken deams and if you'd like to
                see it check here for a thumbnail:

8/12    Bored, watching TV, and came across this synopsis nugget
        for a Three's Company episode:
        "[Janet's boss] Tina blackmails Jack into being at her
         beck and call; otherwise she'll fire Janet."
        The 70s were a weird time.
         \_ there is a _Friends_ episode that could be described zactly the same

1/28    the baby borg episode of star trek:voyager is so sad!
        \_ Jeri Ryan's firm rear end gave us Obama.  God bless her.
           \_ What about the front?
           \_ How was this supposed to have come about?
           \_ I thought I rehashed this for the motd.  Jeri Ryan used to be
              married to an Illinois senator.  They had a messy divorce.

12/15   Anyone have opinions on media streamers that connect to your tv and
        let you play all those bittorrented movies?  I'm getting sick of
        my xbox refusing to play every other video.
        \_ My current solution is an old pc with a cheap video card, using
           Synergy on my laptop.  This plus every episode of MST3K has provided
           much entertainment.
