Subtitles on Simpsons -- and DVDs in General for that Matter

[3v3+Z]

I THOUGHT that I had -- at long last -- figured out how to get the subtitles on EVERY episode of "The Simpsons" on the DVDs. It only took me seven fucking seasons, but I THOUGHT the trick was to select "NO" for the deleted scenes option. After all, you can watch them all together on the last disc. But I was wrong. That seems to have nothing to do with it. It still seems to be hit or miss as to which episodes have the subtitles as an option. I still get blocked from accessing the subtitles on some (not all) episodes. Pisses me right off. Like I've got time to watch this shit both with AND without commentary!!

So why doesn't EVERY show that has closed captioning when it's on television also have subtitles available for EVERY episode on DVD?? I believe the hearing impaired community has been complaining about this for a long while. Unfortunately, their complaints have fallen on... FUCK, don't make me SAY it!!!

i'm gonna just throw in a random comment here from the bottom of my brain but Steve your posts have really gone down hill as of late and I've always respected you as one of the more intelligent members of this board but maybe you should attach one of those breatahlizer things to your computer that wont let you access your internet unless you blow under the legal limit, just a suggestion

I don't disagree that I post some awful shit when I'm drunk. I actually gave kind of a heads-up in my "Gasping for Airtime" thread that I was probably gonna get hammered and post some awful shit.

BUT:

#1) My posts have ALWAYS been hit or miss. People just go through a "honeymoon period" with new things. They're more forgiving and/or willing to ignore the bad shit. Plus they haven't gotten bored with semi-good shit yet.

#2) I would argue that some of my best posts here have come in the last couple of months. Granted, I can't really be OBJECTIVE about that. But I'll go back and read shit that I forgot writing and crack myself up, so I think that's a pretty good barometer.

Exhibit A (http://www.blowupthemoon.com/community/showthread.php?s=&postid=48431#post48431): I'm sorry, but I can't BELIEVE no one commented on that post! I know this is ALL terribly immodest, but I think that was rock solid.

Exhibit B (http://www.blowupthemoon.com/community/showthread.php?s=&postid=48125#post48125): My attempt at helping PUNT incorporate an x-mas tree into his act. Maybe not everyones cup of tea, but it made me laugh when I reread it.

Exhibit C (http://www.blowupthemoon.com/community/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2979): Anders made a comment in another thread about unattractive accents for females. I thought that deserved its own thread. I think I have some good shit in there. But I get kind of bitter about the lack of a "reaction". And then I get pissed at Dr. D. for enquiring about where people are from while he (at the time) had a lame joke in his "location" field (big pet peeve). Ignore those.

Masturbation session over.

I agree with Steve.

Also, Multiplicity is one hilarious movie.

Hey, I changed my location because I figured why not tell you all where I live so you can come and kill me. I have pet peeves as well, but I have to tell you guys this, no one here actually has breached it. You guys all have incredible spelling. I hate bad spellers. Hardly anyone makes a mistake. But my other pet peeve is not understanding what the hell this board is about. 200 posts in, and I cant figure out if you guys are trying to be funny with every post, are trying to make the better insult, or are just on drugs a lot more than me. I think its a combination of them, but its still better than the nambla board Im on. And this is the only place where the highest traffic period is after midnight.

Okay, I just laughed out loud at one of those exhibits. I never saw that post.

Hey there, what's yer name? (point mic @ tree) DOUGLAS! Can I call ya Doug? (honk horn) Sorry kids, just trying to... BRANCH OUT! (blow one of those whistles like they use in "The Streak") There is no god. So Doug, where you from? (point mic @ tree) No, I mean originally? (point mic @ tree) Huh! I can see why you left! (ring cow bell) Hitler actually made some interesting points. Hey, don't you guys HATE commercial radio? (Stop! Do nothing! Freeze for an uncomfortably long period of time. Then wait a little longer. Then pick up the tree and hurl it into the audience. Try and aim for a handicapped person, if there's one handy.) Hey, what do you guys think of the local professional sports team? (honk horn) I make my cat lick my butthole. Do you guys like impressions? (Take out a loaded gun and fire it at the ceiling. For real.)

I too hate bad spellers, however being a terrible speller myself I rarely know when people are pissing me off.
