- [deleted]
- I'm going to re-read some of the Holmes stories. -- nm - Amy Jan 7, 10:39 1
  - You could try Inkheart. And Lovely Bones. (I don't know what is coming out in 2009...) -- nm - Amy Jan 7, 10:41
- Coraline (see below) -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 7, 10:38
- Since the books are always so much better I actually enjoy seeing the movie first -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 7, 10:38 1
  - trouble with that is when reading, I have to fight the visuals left over from the film - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 7, 10:43
- Coraline -- nm - TWuG Jan 7, 10:38
- Watchmen. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 7, 10:37 5

    - Wolverine Origin and Weapon X. -- nm - Remlik Jan 7, 10:38

Rumored 50" OLED at CES from Samsung. FIFTY INCH!! I would Spawn that thing. I would Spawn that thing so bad! -- nm - Mop Jan 7, 10:34 3
- heh -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 7, 10:37
- what's the rumored price point? -- nm - Remlik Jan 7, 10:36 1
  - At this point, a 50" OLED has to be a prototype. The only thing on the market is the 12" Sony thing, and it's only stand-def. No way this is retail. -- nm - Mop Jan 7, 10:38
I love City Confidential. My new favorites are Gallery HD's Art of the Heist and Behind the Camera -- nm - CQ Jan 7, 10:30 2

  - Singler. I smell a Curry 6 for 23 night from the field coming on. - Will Hunting Jan 7, 10:24 3
    - yeah, davidson's not as good as they were last year....nm - x Jan 7, 10:27
    - And Duke might employ the Loyola strategy. -- nm - Dano Jan 7, 10:25 1
      - they're gonna move all their assets out of their ira and buy gold?....nm - x Jan 7, 10:28
- and no Dickie V! -- nm - Strongbad Jan 7, 10:22

      - so HOW you doin? - Remlik Jan 7, 10:32 4
        
        is it a graphic novel? -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 7, 10:37 3
        
        wel there is a *novel* novel and I have the Graphic Novel Adaption. -- nm - Remlik Jan 7, 10:39 1
        
        And then the book on CD is read by Neil himself -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 7, 10:40
        
        mine is not. sometimes Gaiman does both. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 10:38
  - I've seen the trailer in 3D a couple times. Impressive -- nm - con_carne Jan 7, 10:29
- Nice. DC is the play to be. The eyes of the world are going to be on the city. -- nm - Mop Jan 7, 10:26 16
  - fyi, Benjamin Button has the space on the side of Verizon Center, so that will get a lot of viewers as well. -- nm - MDH Jan 7, 10:39
  - The area its in is right off K Street and very business oriented which seemed like an odd place - MDH Jan 7, 10:28 14
    - have you ever been in the city for a normal inauguration? don't worry it will get seen. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 10:30 13
      - Nope, was a fresh in college last time and didn't make it in. - MDH Jan 7, 10:34 2
        
        you a guvvy? -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 10:35 1
        
        Nope, I work for an accounting firm over there. Tax specifically. -- nm - MDH Jan 7, 10:38
      - What's the latest on the crowds? I'm hearing there are more people coming than there's city to stand in. -- nm - Mop Jan 7, 10:31 2
        
        impossible to know. they don't exactly RSVP. :) -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 10:34
        
        2 million + seems like a good likelihood, but you never know until it gameday. - Don Homer Jan 7, 10:32
      - note: THey can exactly rent space on the Smithsonian Castle, you know? -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 10:31 6
        
        ?? -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 7, 10:32 5
        
        meaning, McPherson Sq is probably the nearest space they can rent near the Mall. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 10:34 4
        
        why wouldn't they rent the space on the castle? -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 7, 10:36 3
        
        because it's owned by the US government? -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 10:38 2
        
        above you say that they can. sorry. I must be misunderstanding. -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 7, 10:40 1
        
        I dropped a t. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 10:41
- what building? -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 10:24 3
  - I would imagine it is hard to miss. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 7, 10:28
  - Not sure the name, but its at the McPhereson Square Metro stop -- nm - MDH Jan 7, 10:27 1
    - ok, I can find it then. :) -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 10:30

- far cry 2. i didn't like fallout 3 at all....nm - x Jan 7, 10:30
- hmmm...well Tiger Woods 2009 is awesome. Left For Dead is fun. Gears of War 2 decent (to short). But I think.... - Remlik Jan 7, 10:26
- I haven't played it but EW says the ATV game 'Pure' is really something. Anyone here played it? -- nm - HdnAgnda Jan 7, 10:23

- I concur, fallout 3 -- nm - decline Jan 7, 10:21
- Fuzzle -- nm - Dano Jan 7, 10:21

- A month ago I would have said Fallout 3 but I've been unmotivated to get back into it lately. Probably Guitar Hero 3 oddly. It's the one I most - oblique Jan 7, 10:19 2
  - Fallout 3 is a great game, but the main quest/storyline doesn't take long enough. - Cuzzin Todd Jan 7, 10:21 1
    - Yeah, I'm at the end of the storyline, so I've moved to trying to explore everything before I finish. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 7, 10:30
- *tower game.* sigh. -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 7, 10:19
- Gears of War 2, I think. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 7, 10:19 7
  - I just started that the other day. Good so far, though I haven't given the multiplayer a spin yet. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 7, 10:20 6
    - Do you have an XBox Live Gold account? if so, what's your gamer tag? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 7, 10:26 4
      - oh, it's there in the wiki. Nevermind. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 7, 10:28 3
        
        We already are friended, actually. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 7, 10:29 2
        
        Indeed. I just expected the name to be DonHomer when I looked :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 7, 10:34 1
        
        Yeah, I've thought of changing it, but they lamely charge you $10 to do so. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 7, 10:39
    - Horde Mode co-op is very fun. I think the TT Halo contingent might like that mode. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 7, 10:21
oh, for the love of...the word is 'CLEVER'. Not 'cleaver'. -- nm - kelly Jan 7, 10:17 4
- hey, at least I didn't complain about fisting -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 7, 10:37
- Word. nm - Jim Jan 7, 10:26
- Clive the Clever Cleaver was a Newbery Medal winner, wasn't it -- nm - TWuG Jan 7, 10:19 1
  - Is that the same person that wrote Teetle the Timid Taxidermist? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 7, 10:22

  - /me notes -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 7, 10:32 1
    - yep, you're barely in his range. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 10:40
- yes, to an extent. I think my range has broadened, rather than an exactly proportial shifting. -- nm - ty97 Jan 7, 10:27
- My attraction was to beautiful women 18 and over but when my daughter passed the Barbie stage, that attraction age has increased substantially. - CrankYanker Jan 7, 10:23 2
  - So, your IM means you are turning gay? -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 7, 10:27 1
    - nah - CrankYanker Jan 7, 10:30
- I'm attracted to different types of people then I was when I was younger. Age is not so much a concern but my range is around... - lileve Jan 7, 10:23
- I've found more attraction to women of my own age, as younger women have remained attractive. -- nm - TaurusII Jan 7, 10:23
- Stayed the same...I'm attracted to those in their 20s...with exception for my wife...that attraction has aged with us I suppose -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 7, 10:20
- No. Age is maybe the fifth or sixth determining factor in whether I'm attracted to someone -- nm - con_carne Jan 7, 10:20 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - My attraction to young women has decreased ever so slightly -- nm - con_carne Jan 7, 10:28
- Related maybe? I used to be very attracted to youngish babyfaced guys, I sort of can't stand that now and am attracted to men who look like real men. - Diva Jan 7, 10:20 3
  - why am I laughing :) j/k -- nm - CQ Jan 7, 10:25
  - [deleted]
  - Poor Mel -- nm - oblique Jan 7, 10:20

  - My brother -- nm - Capstern SI Jan 7, 10:20 1
    - "women" -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 7, 10:21
- aged with me I guess, but I still find the youngsters hot too -- nm - CQ Jan 7, 10:18
- It's aged. Sometimes I'm surprised by that. -- nm - Amy Jan 7, 10:18 8
  - [deleted] 7
    - I catch myself wondering why I don't think the young'un is hot. Like Twilight dude. I would have totally gone for that ages ago. -- nm - Amy Jan 7, 10:25 4
      - This is what I'm talking about. i would have found him hot years ago. Now I just want to slap him. -- nm - Diva Jan 7, 10:29
      - Twilight dude is ugly. I just don't get it. -- nm - ty97 Jan 7, 10:28 1
        
        Thank you! - kelly Jan 7, 10:30
      - I usually just assume the young ones are idiots and can't stop using the word, "like" -- nm - CQ Jan 7, 10:26
    - I see al ot of my guy friends doing that - gay and straight - and I feel kind of sorry for them. -- nm - Diva Jan 7, 10:24 1
      - [deleted]
- aged with me. -- nm - Andie Jan 7, 10:18
- "appropriate gender" ? -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 7, 10:17 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - That doesn't necessarily make it appropriate! - Dr.Vermin Jan 7, 10:24
- I'll admit to being a dirty old man and finding 18+ yo girls hot, but I also have a new appreciation for a more mature woman. -- nm - TWuG Jan 7, 10:17 1
  - *ding* -- nm - oblique Jan 7, 10:18
- I've found that my taste/attraction has changed/aged with my wife. - Jim Jan 7, 10:16
- Somewhat. I have more appreciation for people my own age, but I still likes me some younguns. -- nm - nubby Jan 7, 10:16
also, I think dignan is avoiding me. -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 7, 10:14 1
- He's afraid of fish. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 7, 10:17
So I got the Die Hard collection yesterday on Blu-Ray. I'm shocked at how compact that set is. - Will Hunting Jan 7, 10:14 2
- I suppose having 1/4 less things that never get used taking up space on shelf is a good thing -- nm - oblique Jan 7, 10:15 1
  - Bah, I watch the Die Hards often. - Will Hunting Jan 7, 10:16
*bans heteros from ST* -- nm - ty97 Jan 7, 10:14 2

- But, did you say "tee why 97" or "tie97"? -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 10:14 1
  - tie97. -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 7, 10:16
