- sony product placement, wasn't it? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 11:55 4
  - Was it? It was just like a little throwaway joke. Nothing ever came to market or anything. -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 11:56 3
    - was it a sony minidisc? those were a total flop....nm - x Jan 6, 11:57 2
      - I thought it was even smaller than that. -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 11:58

  - (following. I need a new brain) -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 11:52 1
    - [deleted]
- A Christian holiday. Something about the disciples receiving the spirit. -- nm - mara Jan 6, 11:51 3
  - That's Pentacost. Epiphany is the 3 kings/wisemen visiting Jesus -- nm - oblique Jan 6, 11:51 2
    - Oh, wow, that's right. Sorry. -- nm - mara Jan 6, 11:54
    - [deleted]

The hit at 2:17 of the NFL.com video is truly savage. - David Jan 6, 11:47 4

  - [deleted] 2

Also, if they don't put Casablanca on Blu-ray by March, that movie will cease to exist. It will be unmade in time. -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 11:44 6
- Pshaw, no one buys physical media anymore. The only movies that exist are downloads. -- nm - Amy Jan 6, 11:57
- thanks for your usual overreaction -- nm - zork Jan 6, 11:45 2
  - You're welcome, chum. Don't say dumb stuff. -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 11:46 1
    - for 20 years the songs have been protected too much and less and less kids are aware of them. Took them too long to licence them to ads, Idol, online - zork Jan 6, 11:50
- It is on blu-ray. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 6, 11:45 1
  - Damnit, then..... Vertigo! (just pick one that makes my joke work. I don't have bluray, don't care.) -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 11:45
huh, the flight from Chicago to Delhi goes East over Europe - ty97 Jan 6, 11:44 10
- sure, that would shorter wouldn't it? -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 11:44 4
  - I think the shortest route would skip europe altogether (depending how you count greenland and siberia) -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 11:50 2
    - true, it may fly way north. I just figured since it was going to Asia, it'd head west out of chicago, not east. - ty97 Jan 6, 11:51 1
      - from the west coast it's almost a toss-up, but flights east over europe still work better logistically. -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 11:57
  - I guess it is, I just didn't expect it. -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 11:45
- So, Chipotle or Pizza on your layover? -- nm - oblique Jan 6, 11:44 4
  - Are you asking me out, sir? - ty97 Jan 6, 11:46 3
    - Let me know. You know I'm like 10 minutes from the airport at work. -- nm - oblique Jan 6, 11:48
    - [deleted] 1
      - Your fake gay jealousy is cute -- nm - oblique Jan 6, 11:50
[deleted] 20
- I'm at 4.5. So it'd be worth it for me to do so wouldn't it? -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 11:48 2
  - probably if it got to 3.5% or less - tRuMaN Jan 6, 11:51
  - Refi calculator -- (link) - mara Jan 6, 11:50
- Even if I wasn't in an all-travel job, you couldn't pay me to buy a house right now. - ty97 Jan 6, 11:45 4
  - Stop watching the network news. - Dr.Vermin Jan 6, 11:55 2
    - So agreed. I would add all the TV and radio ads I see that keep telling me "in these tough economic times..." - con_carne Jan 6, 11:58
    - [deleted]
  - I think I'd buy if rates got that low. I mean, worst case scenario, I'd be foreclosed on or bailed out. - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 6, 11:50
- hmm, all the banks here are showing rates around 6.35% -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 6, 11:45 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - We're getting ready to refinance at 4.75%. - Dr.Vermin Jan 6, 11:49 1
      - [deleted]
- If so, I pretty much have to buy. I imagine just about everybody does. -- nm - psilotum Jan 6, 11:44 2
  - At that rate, absolutely. I think we'd have to throw down. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 6, 11:48
  - You mock me, sir. -- nm - mara Jan 6, 11:45
- We're going crazy right now. - JaxSean Jan 6, 11:44
- If so, I pretty much have to refinance. I imagine just about everybody does. -- nm - mara Jan 6, 11:43 3
  - It would be a good time to get back into the broker business right now, then. - JaxSean Jan 6, 11:45

You have to admire his initiative. -- (link) - pmb Jan 6, 11:41 5
- So he decided he'd get in more trouble for missing the bus to school than driving the family car? -- nm - Mop Jan 6, 11:54
- Kid's a slacker. Just like his old man. -- nm - Mr. Strickland Jan 6, 11:46
- [deleted] 1
  - Now I want to see the next one . . . - pmb Jan 6, 11:46
- I had crashed two cars by the time I was 7. Good times. -- nm - Loyola Jan 6, 11:43
interesting. HR3: Form a committee of two to meet with a committee from the Senate to tell the President we have quorum and are ready to communicate - Max Jan 6, 11:36 1
- no time for reading, there's presidentin' to be done! -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 11:40
I got the best fortune cookie on new year's eve. "The current year will bring you happiness" - Beryllium Jan 6, 11:34 5
- *Chinese* year, silly! -- nm - nubby Jan 6, 11:35 4
  - year of the ox!...nm - x Jan 6, 11:37 2
    - Put your junk in the ox! -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 11:38 1
      - That's one way to create a bull market. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 11:40
  - there's only a month left!! -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 11:35
keeping the Beatles catalog out of the online market all this time, i think the songs are becoming irrelevant and are losing value (inevitable anyway) -- nm - zork Jan 6, 11:34 13
- totally disagree. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 11:40
- When they eventually release them, there are about 3 that I would buy. "Gimme Money" being one of them. - Beryllium Jan 6, 11:38 1
  - just get the barrett strong original, it's way better....nm - x Jan 6, 11:40
- Yeah, I predict by 2010 no one will even know who the fucking Beatles are, because of the lack of direct purchase mp3s. - TFox Jan 6, 11:37 6
  - also, upteen million baby boomers will all develop alzheimer's....nm - x Jan 6, 11:38 5
    - how many more times are you preparing to buy them? don't you already have what you would in an acceptable format? -- nm - zork Jan 6, 11:48 4
      - i couldn't give a crap about the effing beatles. but if you don't think people do, you're out of your effing mind....nm - x Jan 6, 11:49 3
        
        the people who are into them have already bought them on vinyl and CD and won't buy another format. The songs need to be heard to continue to live -- nm - zork Jan 6, 11:52 2
        
        Completely disagree. I have all the Beatles stuff on cd. Problem is they didn't remix it for true stereo back in the 80's, they kept the same mix .... - Remlik Jan 6, 11:58
        
        good luck with that. if the mp3's hit they'll sell zillions of 'em. many on the back of the beatles rock band edition....nm - x Jan 6, 11:53
- I don't buy that...it took them awhile to put them on CD, think the download versions will be as big a hit as when they released the CD's -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 6, 11:36
- I can't disagree with this post more. -- nm - nubby Jan 6, 11:35 1
  - WHO ARE THE bEATLEZ? -- nm - mandy's students Jan 6, 11:36
LIR: psi - code monkey show torrent, if you get the urge. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Jan 6, 11:33 1
- Thanks. -- nm - psilotum Jan 6, 11:37
LIR: pmb. The thing about here really is that she's not enhanced with fake boobs, fake hair, overdone makup. That chick is just plain smokin hot - oblique Jan 6, 11:33 5
- who? linky? -- nm - zork Jan 6, 11:44 1
  - This should work for you -- (link) - oblique Jan 6, 11:45 [youtube]
- Actually it's interesting to me that she's from Penthouse rather than Playboy. - pmb Jan 6, 11:35 2
  - Playboy has about 10x more boob jobs. -- nm - psilotum Jan 6, 11:42
  - Me too. It is completely opposite of what I would have figured. The Playboy girls on the show are skanks and bimbos and she's the girl-next-door - oblique Jan 6, 11:36
I think Will overvalues wins b/c they are so rare in Baltimore. -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 11:32 1

Follow-up from my friend. - nubby Jan 6, 11:32 1

*raises hand* is the economy ever going to turn around? - ty97 Jan 6, 11:31 15
- Today we are hiking the Discount rate to 6% to combat the inflation caused by the crap load of money we put into the market. -- nm - The Fed three years from now Jan 6, 11:37
- Of course. Just a question of when. -- nm - pmb Jan 6, 11:36 4
  - it's never inevitable. our entire economic system could collapse. - ty97 Jan 6, 11:41 3
    - Then a new one would have to come about. It theoretically could be years, but it won't continue to fall forever. - pmb Jan 6, 11:44 1
      - to your IM - ty97 Jan 6, 11:47
    - but still it would *eventually* turn around. - Andie Jan 6, 11:44
- Sure. Once all the millions of starving people out on our streets finally die, we can sell their organs to China. ka-ching! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 6, 11:35 1
  - and where you live, they won't even need to freeze dry the organs. - ty97 Jan 6, 11:41
- Why do you ask? -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 11:34
- [deleted]
- bacon explosion!....nm - x Jan 6, 11:32 1
  - made me slightly nauseous - ty97 Jan 6, 11:35
- Ask again later. (nm) - Magic 8 Ball Jan 6, 11:32 2
