(S04 vs Inter spoiler) - Danedukenuuk Apr 13, 12:52
SITWAP: Bradley Cooper stated in a web interview that there will not be an "A-Team" sequel. :-( -- nm - MDH Apr 13, 12:45 13
- Booshit! - Stephen Apr 13, 12:54

- I need a Losers II - electric boogaloo -- nm - Epiphany Apr 13, 12:49
- :( -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 13, 12:48
- But the gestalt! -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 12:48 1
  - [deleted]
- Was A-Team a flop? (I haven't seen it) -- nm - con_carne Apr 13, 12:46 1
  - I liked the movie a lot, but only $77M domestic, $100M Foreign -- nm - MDH Apr 13, 12:48
- they'll probably reboot it in five years -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 12:46 2
  - I think we were the biggest champions of this movie on ST -- nm - MDH Apr 13, 12:47 1
    - biggest . . . only. whatever -- nm - moles Apr 13, 12:48
- Stupid Crow!!! -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 12:46
LYC - so i got my new passport yesterday, i will be minutes from the US border this weekend. I might cross just so i can ask them to stamp it. - Andie Apr 13, 12:44 3
- You'll amuse Homeland Security, no doubt - OAE Apr 13, 13:33 1
  - i know. i've done it once or twice. that's why i'll be *asking*. -- nm - Andie Apr 14, 10:35
- I like to keep one of mine clean, just in case. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 12:45
lileve: On TT, I made a few jokes or statements that offended people and crossed a line. One of which was a certain harry potter spoiler, IIRC. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 12:31 18
- My brother's family has no idea how the Harry Potter movies will end. It makes conversations with them quite difficult. - David Apr 13, 12:35 16
  - I'm in that camp. I have yet to read a book and have seen every movie spoiler free, even the big one at the end of the 6th movie -- nm - oblique Apr 13, 12:36 15
    - ok i'll let it slip then: the butler did it!!!! -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 13, 12:42
    - Nobody on ST has slipped up? That surprises me. -- nm - David Apr 13, 12:38 8
      - I don't know what happens at the end. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 12:53
      - I almost had to go into the cone of silence near the release but I will say that ST/TT was excellent about not spoiling. I did know that (spoilers) - oblique Apr 13, 12:52 1
        
        I saw that damn T-shirt that spoils movies and books -- nm - Guigue Apr 13, 12:53
      - It'd be a shame if he found out about the lesbian orgy before it came up in the story. - Reagen Apr 13, 12:41 3
        
        See? way to go...because of your jokes, now kilbo knows there is no lesbian orgy. How can he possibly enjoy the movie as much knowing that? -- nm - Jim Apr 13, 12:54
        
        well the scene between Hermonie and Ginny were they realized feelings for each other was quite tender. -- nm - Remlik Apr 13, 12:42 1
        
        Well, why else would Harry have changed his last name to Dresden and moved to the states? -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 12:44
      - Do it. Do it. Do it. - Spawn Apr 13, 12:40
    - You really should back read, then. The movies without knowledge of the source material are ok, at best. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 12:37 4
      - i agree. i feel like i like the movies because i can fill in all the missing stuff without even knowing i'm doing it. -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 12:40 1
        
        Yeah, I was about to change my "Cool", to I really would not even know what had come before at this point if not for the book. - Spawn Apr 13, 12:42
      - I plan to audiobook the entire series as soon as the last movie is done -- nm - oblique Apr 13, 12:37 1
        
        Cool. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 12:38
- Oh. Yes spoilers are a huge no no. -- nm - lileve Apr 13, 12:33
that should do it (S04 vs Inter spoiler) - Danedukenuuk Apr 13, 12:31
Who is America's least charitable billionaire? -- (link) - mara Apr 13, 12:26 15
- "The billionaire is not even the largest contributor to his own charitable organization." - David Apr 13, 12:34
- His charity is gracing us peons with his presence -- nm - decline Apr 13, 12:33
- I strongly suspect Trump has only a tiny fraction of the money he lets on that he has. -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 12:29 10
  - everything's mortgaged and leveraged to (beyond) the hilt -- nm - moles Apr 13, 12:38
  - He was very famously facing bankruptcy for a time in the 90s. -- nm - David Apr 13, 12:34 5
    - he's gone bankrupt at least twice, I thought... -- nm - znufrii Apr 13, 12:51 1
      - He sued Rosie for saying that, that it was only a casino that went broke, but when everything is called TRUMP(tm) its easy to get confused -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 13, 12:54
    - the casinos in AC did file for bankruptcy -- nm - decline Apr 13, 12:40 2
      - Which is retarded since casinos are *filled* with money. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 12:46 1
        
        Someone commented on that recently. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 13, 12:53
  - Liquid, anyway. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 12:29 2
    - even capital or equity, I think. A lot of the "Trump" properties just have his name on them. -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 12:30 1
      - Oh, agreed. Just saying I think he maximizes every dollar and puts it into something else. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 12:36
- Burns!!! -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 12:28
- He must have been counting allowing people to say "Fired" and not suing them as charity -- nm - con_carne Apr 13, 12:28
For the comics fans: Layoffs at Dark Horse - TWuG Apr 13, 12:23
Drool, a $2.8M rowhome, 2 blocks from my apt. This might be the most beautiful rowhome I've ever seen. -- (link) - MDH Apr 13, 12:07 9
- the spinning rubik's cube makes me dizzy -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 12:26 3
  - and it's gorgeous. (their orange washer/dryer set makes me swoon.) -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 12:27 2
    - Women. - con_carne Apr 13, 12:44
    - I laughed when I saw that - the only real color in the whole place. -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 13, 12:37
- heh. No book on those shelves has ever been read. - loosilu Apr 13, 12:10 1
  - Disagreed for two reasons. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 13, 12:24
- Wouldn't this qualify as a "townhouse"? -- nm - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 13, 12:08 2
  - We don't have townhouses in DC, we have rowhomes. ;-) -- nm - MDH Apr 13, 12:09 1
    - They did a wonderful refurb of a DC rowhome on This Old House a few seasons back. -- nm - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 13, 12:12
Wow, everybody is throwing my tenant under the bus. - ceregon Apr 13, 12:03 24
- OAE would probably defend him, saying that until we walked a mile in his shoes... -- nm - amanda jones Apr 13, 12:25 1
  - Oh dear, I thought you just did, so I wouldn't have to. -- nm - OAE Apr 13, 13:34
- sexual violence? yeps. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 12:07 3
  - Not condoning it or anything but usually when an athlete is accused of something, the other athletes close ranks. - ceregon Apr 13, 12:12 2
    - The group will cover for the group. Individuals? Ask Tiger Woods. -- nm - Amy Apr 13, 12:14 1
      - With individuals, I think it depends in large part on the idividual and the sport. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 13, 12:20
- Dibs on his Xbox! -- nm - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 13, 12:06
- Not to be whatever, but are you starting to see that your vetting process may not be all it is cracked up to be? - Spawn Apr 13, 12:05 7
  - I checked his two previous rental places, he checked out. - ceregon Apr 13, 12:09 6
    - Wow. Nevada must be pretty progressive. But does that cover one renter's pit bull attcking the other? Most state laws I have seen are a different - Spawn Apr 13, 12:16 5
      - I didn't check tenant vs tenant, but as a landlord, I'm not liable for a lot of stuff. - ceregon Apr 13, 12:19 4
        
        You might want to. You are allowing them access to each other. 12 or so years ago, we used to do the roommate matching. - Spawn Apr 13, 12:28 3
        
        " negligent......*something*" - Epiphany Apr 13, 12:35
        
        Good to know. I'll talk to somebody out there next week when I'm there. -- nm - ceregon Apr 13, 12:33 1
        
        It really does vary a lot form state to state, but better safe than in court. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 12:34
- well, to be fair, i wouldn't want to share a house with someone who i thought might be capable of that either, -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 12:04
- wait, I thought it *wasn't* creative rent guy? so you get BBJ from two tenants? -- nm - amanda jones Apr 13, 12:04 7
  - I get bjj from one, boxing from arrested guy, and personal training from another. - ceregon Apr 13, 12:07
  - I think ceregon may have mentioned he's got a number of MMA type renters. -- nm - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 13, 12:06 5
    - 6 of them are either fighters, instructors, or trainers. -- nm - ceregon Apr 13, 12:10 4
      - You really, really need less roidy tenants. -- nm - Amy Apr 13, 12:21 3
        
        One of the reasons they make great tenants is they get tested often... - ceregon Apr 13, 12:23 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I don't know, but I know they are tested for bloodbourne stuff like HIV. - ceregon Apr 13, 12:35
I thought the first MK web episode was pretty meh (capture dangling Jeri notwithstanding) -- nm - prayformojo Apr 13, 11:57
LIR: Amanda -- what would be the fun in that? - OAE Apr 13, 11:57 11
- Just to make sure, you know it's "thinks" and not "things," right? - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 13, 12:01 7
  - seriously. how can one be so superior and so typo-oriented (*and* popeye-oriented!) at the same time. - amanda jones Apr 13, 12:03 6
    - Self-righteous: you're getting there. But phony - never! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 13, 12:04 5
      - vermin, I so like you. I -- nm - amanda jones Apr 13, 12:05 4
        
        I'm not going to talk even near you for a while so I can keep doing so. ok? -- nm - amanda jones Apr 13, 12:05 3
        
        I like you too! - Dr.Vermin Apr 13, 12:14 2
        
        Get a room! -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 12:17 1
        
        (I hear there is one available in Las Vegas.) -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 12:44
- fun in what? not talking like popeye? people could maybe undertsand you? - amanda jones Apr 13, 11:57 2
  - I'm taking the high road on this one. - OAE Apr 13, 11:58 1
    - look what up? I'm so confused. -- nm - amanda jones Apr 13, 12:00
[deleted] 13
- [deleted] 2
  - I have a certificate that says otherwise. - Dr.Vermin Apr 13, 12:03 1
    - Let us see it! -- nm - Ballsers Apr 13, 12:37
- I see him getting mocked incessantly by the right for his use of the term "tax expeditures" - znufrii Apr 13, 11:57 7
  - [deleted]
  - but on the whole, I don't think they have much room to distort, because their plan is already out there. -- nm - znufrii Apr 13, 12:06 5
    - [deleted] 4
      - I'm not saying they won't still try... - znufrii Apr 13, 12:11 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Oh, I never said I was convinced he can actually pull it off... - znufrii Apr 13, 12:14
      - Yes, the GOP is playing Calvinball now. -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 12:09
- Do you have a link to a good summary? -- nm - Don Homer Apr 13, 11:56 1
  - [deleted]
For the third time in almost as many weeks, reports have surfaced of an air traffic controller falling asleep at his post. This time, in Reno... -- (link) - Don Homer Apr 13, 11:53

I want an old time gaylist. pixie? -- nm - amanda jones Apr 13, 11:52 13
- 99% of my stuff is still on CD - moles Apr 13, 11:59 3
  - the beetle has a ... disc thing. plus, you can upload to my server. no disc! no mail! just gay! -- nm - amanda jones Apr 13, 12:01
  - Not vinyl?? -- nm - Don Homer Apr 13, 12:00 1
    - tons of that too, but not so much the 80s synthpop bands -- nm - moles Apr 13, 12:01
- yes, pixie tops that one for sure. -- nm - Max Apr 13, 11:54 4
  - Awesome post! -- nm - MDH Apr 13, 11:58
  - *this* you come back for? - moles Apr 13, 11:57 2
    - Max lurks in the tall grass.... -- nm - prayformojo Apr 13, 11:59
    - You are so special. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 11:59
- In all seriousness, I would love any playlist. I feel I'm missing stuff because of my job. I order everything, but don't listen anymore. -- nm - Amy Apr 13, 11:54 2
  - I will compile it, and get it together and make sure ST gets a copy - MDH Apr 13, 11:56 1
    - *giddy happy* -- nm - Epiphany Apr 13, 12:18
- It really was a joke. I hope you aren't mad. -- nm - lileve Apr 13, 11:53
damn, I just missed fourth'ing -- nm - Reich Apr 13, 11:52 1
- nice try Red Skull. You fail again. -- nm - Remlik Apr 13, 12:42
Reposting for JenBro: Day people: If you took the Top Chef All-Stars HWDYK: - prayformojo Apr 13, 11:51
LIR: decline. I'm with you. I don't see the outrage over patting down kids (or anyone) - oblique Apr 13, 11:50 17
- There's just an ick factor about a stranger touching my little boy's junk. It's just not allowed. -- nm - Amy Apr 13, 11:59 1
  - The child's mum appeared this AM and said essentially the same thing... - OAE Apr 13, 12:02
- Look, anal probing is just the cost of flying. If you don't like it, don't go. -- nm - kilbo, ten years from now Apr 13, 11:57 3
  - Exactly. We have always known our alien visitors are advanced. What is the first thing they do when they take you to their ship? -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 12:03
  - [deleted]
  - exactly. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 13, 11:58
- I mean, who here *hasn't* hidden a gun on their kid? -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 11:54
- I disagree. Kids shouldn't be subject to random search in airports. (If they are identified through behaviour profiling, that's another matter) -- nm - Roger More Apr 13, 11:54
- [deleted] 8
  - I'm fairly stunned at the collective shrug all of this produced. - Mel Profit Apr 13, 11:57 4
    - Like I said on B2. i can understand the thought process and have no doubts bad people would try to use kids for bad deeds. - Jim Apr 13, 12:07
    - [deleted] 2
      - I really thought the Junk Touching would have been the thing that gave people pause. - Mel Profit Apr 13, 12:19 1
        
        You take what you can get. - nm - All the lonely people Apr 13, 12:33
  - procedures are proven not to work? -- nm - decline Apr 13, 11:53 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - Ah, IIRC there was some study or drill they did in regards to this at a few airports. I think you're right... -- nm - con_carne Apr 13, 12:00
That makes us practically related. -- nm - Drexel Apr 13, 11:49
Mommy? -- nm - lileve Apr 13, 11:49
