LYC/YDC: Wow, The Sound A to Z is still going (has been since last Monday). They are on the "What"s. - con_carne Sep 6, 12:29 15
- "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" -- nm - con_carne Sep 6, 12:46
- "right now" is more current than "just now"? -- nm - prayformojo Sep 6, 12:30 13
  - They were when I was typing them, but they're not anymore -- nm - con_carne Sep 6, 12:40
  - Well, yeah. For some reason, I think "just now" means it just finished, and "right now" means it's still playing. -- nm - mara Sep 6, 12:31
  - "just now" is the immediate past. "right now" is the present. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 12:31 10
    - But by the time you type "right now" and send, it is actually "just now". -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 12:32 9
      - what if it is a piece of music that has not finished playing? what then? -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 12:33 3
        
        If you are listening *live*, okay. - The Ruiner Sep 6, 12:34 2
        
        what if it's live *to you*? -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 12:34 1
        
        It is in the past to the music. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 12:36
      - "...and then?" -- nm - JaxSean Sep 6, 12:33 4
        
        No and then! -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 12:33 3
        
        When will then be now? -- nm - prayformojo Sep 6, 12:34 2
        
        Why can't this be love? -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 12:35 1

Help me out. I remember a recent trailer about a Japanese guy who comes to America - the old west - and is pursued by ninjas. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Sep 6, 12:19 11
- It was Warrior's Way. I redboxed that and was surprised at how much I really liked it. Was pretty good for what it is. -- nm - JohnnyB Sep 6, 12:41
- Shanghai Noon? -- nm - colin Sep 6, 12:22 4
  - Ninja are japanese not chineese -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 6, 12:27 3
    - it was a vague description. -- nm - colin Sep 6, 12:35 1
      - ninjas is actually a pritty precise decription -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 6, 12:38
    - The Old West is America, not Japan or China. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 12:28
- The Warrior's Way, with Dong-gun Jang, Kate Bosworth, Geoffrey Rush, Danny Huston -- nm - Max Sep 6, 12:21 2
  - "Ninjas. Damn." That's the one. Very "Bunranku" feel to it. Does this type of filmmaking even have a name? -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Sep 6, 12:26 1
    - Wire fu? -- nm - con_carne Sep 6, 12:33
- yes. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 6, 12:20

    - heh. no worries. It's all fun. I'm hoping to get a real headset for my birthday so I can talk more. Right now I'm using the Kinect as the mic - oblique Sep 6, 12:26 17
      - hmm, how do you hear us them, from the tv speakers? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 12:27 15
        
        no, I have a earbud from an old cellphone that I have plugged into the port on the bottom but the mic part doesn't work -- nm - oblique Sep 6, 12:28 13
        
        Ah, that's cool. BTW, some nights if I amon, I will not have a mic going, so if I do not respond, that is why. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 12:30 2
        
        we don't see you when you are on, since you are in ghost mode. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 6, 12:31 1
        
        I join - The Ruiner Sep 6, 12:35
        
        Did you break the headset that comes with the 360? I am assuming you bought it new. -- nm - Shaun Sep 6, 12:29 9
        
        oblique? he bought it from a garage sale. - groiny Sep 6, 12:30
        
        My slim 360 + Kinect didn't come with one -- nm - oblique Sep 6, 12:30 7
        
        Really? They don't come with a headset anymore? Geez. -- nm - Shaun Sep 6, 12:31 6
        
        those headsets suck. - groiny Sep 6, 12:32 5
        
        i luvs my trittons. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 12:38
        
        I wouldn't mind getting a pair of TBs for my PS3. Bluetooth headsets are uncomfortable as all fuck. -- nm - Shaun Sep 6, 12:35
        
        link? I can forward it to my wife for bday -- nm - oblique Sep 6, 12:34 2

        Yeah, Amy picked mine up at Target for less than half that. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 12:38
        
        uh oh. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 6, 12:28
      - you cheap bastard! nm -- nm - groiny Sep 6, 12:27
    - when you get pissed off in Black Ops, I am greatly entertained. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 6, 12:24 4
      - Multi-platform bitching would be too much! -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 12:25 2

        "Fuckin Trekkies. Always pretending their time travelers" -- nm - Remlik Sep 6, 12:27
      - I don't think I've had time to turn my xbox on in a month. Erph. - Beryllium Sep 6, 12:24
  - yeah, you have to massage the remlik's ego, or so spawn tells us. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 12:23 1
    - "ego" -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 12:23

  - *runs and takes shotgun, laser, sword, rockets, stickys* - tru si Sep 6, 12:23 7
    - I had one nice sticky last night. Lobbed one at a guy pretty far away and clipped him on the foot. The kaboom was great to watch :) -- nm - oblique Sep 6, 12:25 3
      - you could get good at the Will Hunting Halo strategy.... - groiny Sep 6, 12:29 2
        
        So Will is a terrorist bomber? -- nm - oblique Sep 6, 12:29 1
        
        Suicidal, indeed. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 12:30
    - usually i may grab one, but i dont carry two of them unless i find them on the ground, or on a dead body. - tRuMaN Sep 6, 12:25 2
      - dude, thick skin....... - groiny Sep 6, 12:27
      - lmao. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 6, 12:25
Here's what confuses me. As I understand NFL rules, Garrard's contract was guaranteed when he made the 53 man roster. - David Sep 6, 12:17 7
- It's like the AFC south teams are competing to see who can pull off the bigger QB surprise. - Inigo Sep 6, 12:29 2
  - Your IM is hysterical. "Gary Kubiak was seen carrying a raygun earlier in practice." -- nm - David Sep 6, 12:34
  - "We support Mary Hasselback's continued process to achieve her true gender, and look forward to her making history in raising the Lombardi Trophy." -- nm - TFox Sep 6, 12:31
- *ding* -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 12:21
- Makes no sense, but Schefter's tweeting it now too, so it must be true. -- nm - Jim Sep 6, 12:20
- no idea. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 12:18 1
  - sfek, but if they didnt get an update on an injury until yesterday, or today, that could have been the cause. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 12:18
If he can't go somewhere to start, I wouldn't be surprised if the Ravens pick up Garrard. -- nm - Inigo Sep 6, 12:16 3
- olts! -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 12:19 1
  - ... and that is about as close as the Colts will actually come to it. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 12:19
- A team like Detroit with playoff aspirations and an injury prone QB makes the most sense. -- nm - David Sep 6, 12:18
moral obligation, yes. you were the girl's mother from the ages of 6 through 15. you don't get to escape that fact. - TFox Sep 6, 12:16 7
- i had this mother from 4 to 18. i hated being pressured by my dad into being more affectionate toward her myself - moles Sep 6, 12:30 2
  - my gf and stepson are the opposite. She raised him from 6 and when his dad left at 18 her stepson decided to stay with her. He can't stand his father - decline Sep 6, 12:38 1
    - The moral is, every case is different. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 12:39
- Depends -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 12:22
- I have a "friend" (more like an acquaintance) who is in a similar position to this woman. If she and her husband ever divorce, I would not expect her - loosilu Sep 6, 12:19 2
  - For all we know, the father is telling the daughter she should see her mom, and the daughter is going, "fuck that shiz." - TFox Sep 6, 12:20 1
    - in no way am I denying that this lady is a beyotch. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 12:21
What is it with the scavengers on the history channel always thinking they've found a real Stradivarius? :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 6, 12:16 8
- amazing yes especially considdering they are looking at a saxophone -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 6, 12:23
- LYC: I loved the Pawn Stars ep where the guy thought he had an old classic NES. (This is worth thousands of dollars!) -- nm - Strongbad Sep 6, 12:17 6
  - I think that was Storage Wars, with the random mexican dude who started stalking the show. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 6, 12:19 5
    - My bad. Yes, Storage Wars. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 6, 12:28
    - Darrell wagered him he was wrong, and took it in together to get it appraised ... and the shop owner was basically like "are you an idiot?" -- nm - Beryllium Sep 6, 12:20 3
      - The shots of him scavenging through the crap locker going "This is why I do this!" every few minutes over crap was funny. - Beryllium Sep 6, 12:21 2
        
        I swear, the guy looks like a bored drug lord. -- nm - JohnnyB Sep 6, 12:39 1
        
        Yep. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 6, 12:41
LYC: All I remember of my dream last night was killer Muppets, decapitating Grover, and poker playing germans -- nm - oblique Sep 6, 12:14 2
- All I remember was dumping Minka Kelly. - The Ruiner Sep 6, 12:16 1
  - Why are you so wrong even in your dreams? -- nm - oblique Sep 6, 12:30
Luke McCown is never the answer, unless the question is "name a QB who is the second best in his family." -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 12:13 11
- Eli Manning. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 12:15 4
  - But he has the best SB winning percentage. - Shaun Sep 6, 12:17
  - you're forgetting Archie. -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 12:17 1
    - Well, I was gonna say "Active" but thought that might take the family out of the running. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 12:20
  - also: Brock Huard -- nm - Strongbad Sep 6, 12:16
- All this does is create drama if the Jags suck with Gabbert. Then, they have to answer Andrew Luck questions from December to April. - David Sep 6, 12:15
- Am I crazy to think that Marcedes Lewis' value just slightly went up? - Shaun Sep 6, 12:14 4
  - Heh, I had him rated for such, already. - The Ruiner Sep 6, 12:18
  - QB flux usually means WR values drop and TE values inflate, yes. -- nm - David Sep 6, 12:15 2
    - especially in PPR leagues -- nm - Strongbad Sep 6, 12:16
    - *fist pumps* -- nm - Shaun Sep 6, 12:16
MVP Phillip Rivers has a nice ring to it this year -- nm - Beaker Sep 6, 12:13 11
- Never happen. Dude has no heart. -- nm - Jim Sep 6, 12:27
- MVP Schaub sounds better though. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 12:17
- Hey Philip check out this nice ring. *shows his SB42 ring* -- nm - Eli Manning Sep 6, 12:15
- I'm so glad I've never drafted this guy and had to root for him. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 6, 12:15 1
  - it's best to draft someone everyone hates (who produces), otherwise where is the fun :) -- nm - Beaker Sep 6, 12:17
- MVP: Sexy Rexy Grossman, has a real ring to it. - MDH Sep 6, 12:15 3
  - They're equally likely. -- nm - David Sep 6, 12:15 2
    - Whatcha smoking? -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 12:22 1
      - 0=0 -- nm - David Sep 6, 12:24
- word -- nm - Team Autodraft Sep 6, 12:15
