    It was somewhere between episode 1 and 64. That is all I know. After that we had an office and no pizzas. :(

     

    Thanks, Jake, that sure was helpful... xD

    EDIT: Btw, while we're talking about pizza, ever since you mentioned the "sleepover pizza" phenomenon in one of the episodes from last year, I can't help but think about it every time I eat leftover pizza the next day...but I still have no problem eating it whatsoever  :devil:

     

    It's earlier than Episode 50 because I'm relistening to all of them and I heard it and I'm on 50 now.

     

    Where's the search database link thingie? We can just search for pizza.

     

     

    e: Nice, I guessed Ep 36 and it's Ep 37. We'll be right back after this pizza.

     

     

    YES! That's it! I knew it was sometime before Ep.50, but that's all I could think of. Thanks!

    Please let me know if there are any comments, questions, or your entry is not showing up.  I look forward to seeing the far reach of the show and forum contributors

     

    My entry isn't showing up...I entered my info almost 2 hours ago...and then I tried again a few minutes ago, but still nothing... :(

     

    EDIT: It's ok now, it works only if I don't enter the postal code, weird.

    There was an episode of the Thumbs podcast a few years back, in which Chris was talking about something and then interrupted himself by saying "Oh, there's a pizza here". Then Jake says "We'll be right back after this pizza".

    Does anyone remember which episode that was from? Please, help!

    Hi. I know this isn't the right thread for what I'm looking for, but I can't seem to find the proper one...seems to be lost somewhere among the sea of Idle banter threads. But since this thread is also about a "thing" that I can't remember, I'm going to try here.

    Anyway, there was an episode of the Thumbs podcast a few years back, in which Chris was talking about something and then interrupted himself by saying "Oh, there's a pizza here". Then Jake says "We'll be right back after this pizza".

    Finally seen Paul last night and quite liked it. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost mash up perfectly with what the American comedy has been offering in the recent years (the more-or-less standard team appearing in several titles over the last 5 or so years, including Seth Rogen, Jason Bateman, Bill Hader, Joe Lo Truglio etc.)...anyway...don't have much to say, not in the mood to...just that I recommend this movie.

    Huh, Daniel D. Grozdich, eh? The fact that he collapsed that ć into a ch makes me think he is at best second generation American. Maybe even third, since that sort of thing doesn't seem to happen in this day and age of proper passports, exacting INS paper trail requirements, UTF-8 and stuff. I don't know anyone who's done it of all the people diasporizing around the world in the last 20 years or so. Plus, if he had any native Serbian speakers in the immediate family, I think they would disown him after a presentation that obnoxiously incorrect.

    On the other hand, maybe he came as a small child, which explains his good pronunciation + abysmal grammar + piss poor vocabulary. Dunno. Fuck that guy. (U pičku materinu.)

    Yes, as I've heard and seen somewhere, he's born American, but his parents (or, ultimately, grandparents...I don't remember) emigrated to America at some point, before he was born. So his parents actually are still native Serbian speakers. That would explain the good pronunciation, abysmal grammar and the piss poor vocabulary, seeing that he's probably heard them speak the language but never did learn it properly himself. Also, I've seen a video of him in Serbia, visiting his family during summer.

    Actually, here's the video. Naturally, he makes a joke out of that too. U pičku materinu.

    Really? Considering he has a whole load of videos about speaking Serbian, I figured... he can speak Serbian?

    He can, but not THAT much fluently and correctly, when it comes to grammar and stuff...he knows some words and can form certain sentences (some of which do sound google translated but with a solid enough pronunciation, as kingz already mentioned).

    EDIT: and that lesson 5 was in my mind all the time whilst replying to you. lol

    All in all - if it were necessary, you can still understand him and he can (or so it seems) communicate with you just fine if you're, say, Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian/etc. and you don't know a word of English.

    Ah, sigh, the gist of that "Serbian language lesson" thing is true, perhaps :shifty:, and his pronunciation is surprisingly solid for an anglophone. I only wish he spent the time to put in the correct declensions and articles in what was obviously google translated at best (although Google tends to be a lot better a lot more often than this dude's Serbian...

    That.

    Or to put it another way: "I didn't like or enjoy a single aspect of this film."

    Curiously enough, my first reaction to that movie was almost exactly the same as yours. The scenes looked weird, the color pallettes didn't seem suitable, the characters weren't at all what I expected...but then I watched the movie for a second (and eventually a third) time and I don't know why, but things just...clicked for me and I noticed more than a few things about the movie that I actually really like...I started looking at the main characters from a different approach, one that showed me that the vibe between the main actors/characters is actually quite proper and suitable for that particular Holmes - Watson relationship and really well portrayed and that, in general, there's just an adequate amount of action, humor, and witty dialogue which, combined, make a decent Sherlock Holmes story.

    Also, I've heard a lot of complaints about the different approach to the character of Sherlock...especially the fighting scenes. But what do you actually imagine when it says in a book that Sherlock brings the man down? Just that what you see in the movie, he brings the man down. And he was portrayed in the books as an experienced boxer and a fighter....

    How about how

    Kirk is jettisoned onto a random planet, and somehow stumbles into Old Spock's cave by luck? Planets are big and there are many of them.

    Yeah, that was like a completely absurd turning point in the movie, but nobody seems to have payed attention to it.
