the next tom cruise up for a bit part as Roadblock in GI Joe 2 -- (link) - moles Jun 6, 12:54 1
- The Rock as Roadblock? Winning! -- nm - Mop (204 lbs) Jun 6, 12:57
kilbo, I got AirPlayer. It was confirmed to work with the PS3 Media Server. -- nm - Mop (204 lbs) Jun 6, 12:53
pretty please specify which ep. of something you're spoiling, especially if you've watched something that hasn't yet been broadcast in the u.s. -- nm - b. Jun 6, 12:51 4
- It won't matter when you see it. Amores de Fuego is just that good! -- nm - con_carne Jun 6, 12:54
- They've been talking about this all day. -- nm - Jim Jun 6, 12:52 2
  - I don't think it's an unreasonable request. -- nm - b. Jun 6, 12:54
  - Still, the fact that they are talking about an unaired episode means extra care should be used. -- nm - Spawn Jun 6, 12:53
FYI...Groupon cancelling orders for Old Navy $20 for $10 Groupon -- nm - budice Jun 6, 12:47 8
- Got a source? -- nm - Mop (204 lbs) Jun 6, 12:55
- Any particular reason? Doesn't seem wise with a pending IPO. -- nm - TWuG Jun 6, 12:48 5
  - my guess: There was no limit on orders, ON saw the number coming in and flipped. -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 12:50 4
    - Then that sounds like a bad business decision by ON. Set those limits *before* you make the offer. -- nm - TWuG Jun 6, 12:52 2
      - haven't we discussed here before the issue of groupon limits? Some business owner wrote a blog complaining that they set no limits. -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 12:54 1
        
        Then businesses are stupid to use them. Old Navy has been around awhile so they should know to do their due diligence. - TWuG Jun 6, 12:56
    - I would imagine many never would have been used. (we don't have old navvy here.) -- nm - amanda Jun 6, 12:51
- Wondered why I never got a confirmation - those BASTARDS!! - Epiphany Jun 6, 12:48
LA Noire question - Jovian Jun 6, 12:46 5
- I just finished it (Lipstick Murder) too. You can check your progress in the menu. It's about 20%. -- nm - Mop (204 lbs) Jun 6, 12:56
- A little over 2/5 of the way through. -- nm - Ender Jun 6, 12:47 3
  - thanks. great game. I get so stressed out during crime interviews! -- nm - Jovian Jun 6, 12:49 2
    - Me too. Also, I think in your notebook there's a statistics section where it will tell you what percentage you are through the game. - Dr.Vermin Jun 6, 12:52 1
      - The statistics screen is in the pause menu, not the notebook. -- nm - Ender Jun 6, 12:54
honestly, that last 5 mins of doctor who (spoils I guess) - tRuMaN Jun 6, 12:41 6
- I suspect it will be a 'to be continued/concluded' ending. which will suck because they take a several month break after it -- nm - peglegpete Jun 6, 12:50 1
  - having a cliffhanger at the end of a mid-season break? how unexpected that would be. -- nm - b. Jun 6, 12:52
- wait till next week -- nm - Remlik Jun 6, 12:46 3
  - doffus, what do you think I am talking about? Tyg the stuffed animal? -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 6, 12:49 1
    - I think you were talking about his past weeks episode on BBCA where the Doctor in the last 5 minutes did all of that. -- nm - Remlik Jun 6, 12:50
  - I think he's talking about that episode. I haven't seen it yet, but I think Smith is my favorite Doctor after this season. -- nm - TWuG Jun 6, 12:48
Lunch Report: South Philly Experience truck - con_carne Jun 6, 12:37 [flickr] 32
- Sub Poll! CTTP rules: How much did my lunch cost? - con_carne Jun 6, 12:46 5
  - answer - con_carne Jun 6, 12:52
  - $12 -- nm - moles Jun 6, 12:47
  - $8 -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 12:46 2
    - hah, the sammich at that truck alone costs $8 -- nm - moles Jun 6, 12:46 1
      - friggin LA. -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 12:47
- Herr's and Tastykakes are both local companies -- nm - decline Jun 6, 12:42 1
  - Yum, they're both good. I'll be eating from this truck again! -- nm - con_carne Jun 6, 12:56
- mmm, Herr's. IIRC, there was an episode of the Office where Jim and Karen were trying to find Herr's Salt and Vinegar chips. - loosilu Jun 6, 12:41 2
  - chips and pretzel's in PA are *nuts.* like, we don't go to tom's for coffee because they have utz and martin's. we like snyders (and I will *not* - amanda Jun 6, 12:45 1
    - mmmm, Bachman Pretzels -- nm - ty97 Jun 6, 12:47
- And Stephen: No, I've never had a sandwich like this. It was awesome! -- nm - con_carne Jun 6, 12:41 12
  - Never had it with cheese wiz (always provolone!). Glad you enjoyed it! -- nm - Stephen Jun 6, 12:52
  - I'm bet the ones in Philly are even better. -- nm - decline Jun 6, 12:42
  - technically i have never had a cheesesteak sammich either. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 6, 12:41 9
    - seriously? (i never get it with cheez wiz, only real provolone) -- nm - moles Jun 6, 12:42 8
      - he's dairy allergic. -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 12:43 7
        
        he hasn't always knwon. we watched the conversion here, live! -- nm - amanda Jun 6, 12:46
        
        you can get them without cheese at all -- nm - moles Jun 6, 12:43 5
        
        They just call those a "steak" -- nm - con_carne Jun 6, 12:46
        
        Technically, if your getting a cheesesteak without the cheese, you should just go to NY and use a fork and knife on pizza -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 6, 12:45 2
        
        considering the "true" Philly style is Cheez Whiz, I'll eat my sandwich the damn way I please to. -- nm - Reagen Jun 6, 12:46 1
        
        with prov or mozz, it's a pizza steak. duh. -- nm - amanda Jun 6, 12:47
        
        true, but I'm explaining what he means by "technically". -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 12:44
- next, go to Phillipes for an incredible french dip -- nm - peglegpete Jun 6, 12:39 5
  - Thanks, actually. I keep forgetting. - con_carne Jun 6, 12:42 4
    - don't worry, even after you go, he'll still remind you five thousand more times -- nm - moles Jun 6, 12:43 3
      - it's that good!! -- nm - peglegpete Jun 6, 12:48 2
        
        after he goes, HE WILL KNOW THIS or disagre, making reminders unnecessary. see? -- nm - amanda Jun 6, 12:50 1
        
        now I do. you always make far more sense than Pixie :) -- nm - peglegpete Jun 6, 12:52
- Utz chips! (I only ever used the truck to get TastyKakes) -- nm - moles Jun 6, 12:38 1
  - middleswarth are so superior. (in which mandy has chips for dinner...) -- nm - amanda Jun 6, 12:39
Ahh, there's the relief. Thank goodness for annual out-of-pocket maximums. - ty97 Jun 6, 12:36 8
- Out of pocket maximums? Those exist? I thought it was the other way around? -- nm - Spawn Jun 6, 12:48 3
  - Every insurance coverage I can recall having included a OOM. It's the main way insurance helps you to avoid bankrupting yourself -- nm - ty97 Jun 6, 12:53 2
    - I was able to *surpass mine* in 2010 by going to an out of network hospital for emergency surgery. "we don't have negotiated rates? yeah, we pay 85% o - amanda Jun 6, 12:55
    - Hmm. This is the first I have seen it mentioned. -- nm - Spawn Jun 6, 12:54
- Ooh, just think of all the stuff you can do between now and the end of the year! -- nm - Ender Jun 6, 12:38
- *jealous* nm -- nm - groiny Jun 6, 12:37
- w00t! -- nm - psilotum Jun 6, 12:37 1
  - It's....not a low maximum. But at least it exists. -- nm - ty97 Jun 6, 12:38
X-Men: First Class: (B), Jackass 3.5: (B), Securing Jets season tickets: (A+) nm - Dignan Jun 6, 12:35
bonus dear prude chat q: she found condoms in hubby's coat pocket (they've never used them) he says they're for his "private time alone" - moles Jun 6, 12:32 12
- I think she's pretty dim if she thinks her friends didn't see through the "my friend found condoms in her husband's pocket" ruse. -- nm - Ender Jun 6, 12:45 1
  - [deleted]
- Maybe he jizzes in his pants? Lonely island wears a rubber around. -- nm - RooRoo Jun 6, 12:35
- so he's doing this... at work? -- nm - Max Jun 6, 12:34 2
  - Long lunches, leaving early, going in late. -- nm - mara Jun 6, 12:36 1
    - His briefcase just has an apple in it and his license plate reads D-FENS. -- nm - Max Jun 6, 12:38
- If she buys that she's quite possibly the dumbest woman ever. -- nm - Stephen Jun 6, 12:33
- [deleted]
- cheating. -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 12:33 2
  - keeping his pants clean. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 6, 12:33 1
    - I'm wondering if he ain't spanking it at work...so he caps it to be cleaner. - Jim Jun 6, 12:47
- [deleted]
I like Wendy's new fries, but the burger seems to have declined in quality. -- nm - Max Jun 6, 12:31 27
- If we're talking from McD, BK or Wendy's, I choose McD's angus burgers. - TWuG Jun 6, 12:51
- I am getting close to 3 years without fast food. Don't miss it even a little bit. -- nm - not2fast Jun 6, 12:36 1
  - Really? I miss it every time I think about it. -- nm - mara Jun 6, 12:37
- Who has the best fast food burger? -- nm - RooRoo Jun 6, 12:33 23
  - McDonalds' new Angus burgers are actually pretty good. -- nm - Reagen Jun 6, 12:50
  - Wendy's double. -- nm - Ender Jun 6, 12:48
  - I got a standby at each place...Roys Baconcheese...McD's Big Mac, Wendy's Baconcheese, BK's whopper - Will Hunting Jun 6, 12:43 1
    - mmm, roy's. we don't have them anymore. -- nm - amanda Jun 6, 12:48
  - all things being equal, I will take a Whopper. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 6, 12:39 4
    - *nods* -- nm - Epiphany Jun 6, 12:48
    - Yep. -- nm - kelly Jun 6, 12:44
    - I like the Whopper taste, but the meat texture is horrendous. -- nm - Ender Jun 6, 12:41 1
      - this -- nm - Spawn Jun 6, 12:51
  - My favorite has always been the Whopper Jr. -- nm - mara Jun 6, 12:37
  - Fast food: one can order and recieve food in 10 or so minutes. More so a place that doesn't let one handle a menu. It is posted somewhere. -- nm - RooRoo Jun 6, 12:36
  - McDonalds or White Castle -- nm - Jovian Jun 6, 12:35 3
    - *blink* -- nm - JaxSean Jun 6, 12:43 2
      - sometimes the worst on paper is the best in deliciousness. - Jovian Jun 6, 12:47 1
        
        McDonalds, yes. White Castle, hell nah. -- nm - Spawn Jun 6, 12:52
  - five guys -- nm - moles Jun 6, 12:33 6
    - That's fast casual, not fast food. -- nm - Ender Jun 6, 12:37 5
      - "We don't play Alternative music, we play Alternative Rock music." -- nm - Reagen Jun 6, 12:43 1
        
        heh -- nm - Don Homer Jun 6, 12:53
      - not the ones i've been too. never took longer than any other burger place to get my order -- nm - moles Jun 6, 12:39 2
        
        It's a different restaurant category altogether. -- nm - Ender Jun 6, 12:40 1
        
        only to the marketers who want to upcharge you for fast food by calling it "fast casual" -- nm - moles Jun 6, 12:41
  - define "fast food" . nm -- nm - groiny Jun 6, 12:33
amazing color photos from before & after D-Day 1944 -- (link) - moles Jun 6, 12:28
I hope for Amy's sake that Spawn is better at sex than he is a Halo. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 6, 12:26 6
- Your wife says I am. -- nm - Spawn Jun 6, 12:28 4
  - your Halo ineptitude is legendary. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 6, 12:29 3
    - She says, just like in Halo, you die quicker than me. -- nm - Spawn Jun 6, 12:31 2
      - if I pop, and miss the target, we call it a "Spawn" nm -- nm - groiny Jun 6, 12:31 1
        
        The hammer is my penis. -- nm - Spawn Jun 6, 12:46
- oh, and if he is not.... - groiny Jun 6, 12:27
Alright Windows 7 I will figure this out but why after every post on ST do you ask me if I want to update saved password? I don't! -- nm - bc/nc Jun 6, 12:25 2
- That's...weird. - Stephen Jun 6, 12:28 1
  - Indeed! -- nm - bc/nc Jun 6, 12:39
So playing LA Noire on the heels of Fallout New Vegas, it almost feels like I am almost playing a pre-war, non-canon prequel to Fallout - Jovian Jun 6, 12:24
I am starting to think that inubby and Tyg had a rough patch when Tyg ran off to live with Max. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 6, 12:23 2
- To say nothing of Tyg's extended tour of southeast Asia. -- nm - mara Jun 6, 12:25 1
  - i think the real question is who didnt Tyg sleep with while in Vegas? -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 6, 12:27
[deleted] 23
- I bet he's announcing a sex tape with Blake Lively. -- nm - David Jun 6, 12:34
- I do sorta wonder why it all matters. So he tweeted is wang. Who really cares? - ty97 Jun 6, 12:29 17
  - [deleted]
  - no one much cared until he spectacularly mishandled his response. -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 12:31 4
    - False. If he had said "it's me" he would have been flayed and tarred. That's why he told the stupid lie. -- nm - ty97 Jun 6, 12:34 3
      - America has an amazing ability to forgive and forget if you come clean up front. - Will Hunting Jun 6, 12:41
      - I would rather have heard a lie than that painfully awkward non-denial. -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 12:35 1
        
        I would rather none of this have been news. -- nm - ty97 Jun 6, 12:35
  - his wife? -- nm - moles Jun 6, 12:29 10
    - In his case? I have no idea. I was speaking in general. Most of the pols are married, I think. -- nm - ty97 Jun 6, 12:34
    - Married in July 2010 -- nm - Stephen Jun 6, 12:30 1
      - nevermind. - Stephen Jun 6, 12:32
    - Maybe, maybe not. Anyway, that's their business. -- nm - mara Jun 6, 12:30 6
      - right or wrong, politicians are held to a higher standard. maybe it shouldn't matter but if you're in the game you know it will be -- nm - moles Jun 6, 12:33 5
        
        I agree with holding them to a high standard....but I'd rather it be over how they do they jobs, how they tell the truth about their jobs, etc. - ty97 Jun 6, 12:35 4
        
        Their job is to uphold an oath....I took one a few months ago to honor my wife... - Will Hunting Jun 6, 12:39 1
        
        meh. More spouses cheat than don't cheat. I'm not going to hold a politician to a standard that half of the populace fails. -- nm - ty97 Jun 6, 12:54
        
        tweeting naked pictures to women who are not your wife goes to a politician's character just as much as what they do on the job -- nm - moles Jun 6, 12:37 1
        
        I think it's more about judgement than character. -- nm - mara Jun 6, 12:39
- Someone just needs to find a pic of Anthony wearing a little Paul Revere hat on his wang, and we can merge two silly news trends together. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 6, 12:27
- *sets DVR for TDS tonight* Unrelated (or is it?) I have 'Some Like It Hot' waiting on the DVR now. I have never seen it. -- nm - bc/nc Jun 6, 12:24
- "I can't say with certitude that I sexted these multiple women, but I'm pretty sure somebody hacked my body." -- nm - Ender Jun 6, 12:24
- He is the X of the girl on B2. -- nm - Spawn Jun 6, 12:23
blue moon -- nm - moles Jun 6, 12:19 6
- yep, it's Monday. -- nm - psilotum Jun 6, 12:24
- from b2, I had the "sweet baby jesus" - crab, hash browns, eggs (over easy), cheese, and hollandaise sauce. All cooked exactly right. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 6, 12:22 2
  - oh, and tomatoes. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 6, 12:24 1
    - their biscuits are killer too -- nm - moles Jun 6, 12:27
- Laws yes. -- nm - Spawn Jun 6, 12:20
- you saw me standing alone -- nm - mara Jun 6, 12:20
