    - Entourage isn't liked much on ST, but he was terrific in that. I'm a Scott Caan fan now. - con_carne Oct 28, 08:07 2
      - he was great in that. I wish he'd had his own storyline. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 28, 08:16 1
        
        100% agreed -- nm - con_carne Oct 28, 08:28

LIR to loosi. I checked the Sherwin Williams site and I believe the color we are choosing is poorly represented color wise at the site. To give you an - bc/nc Oct 28, 07:36 2
- pretty! -- nm - loosilu Oct 28, 07:45

  - agree completely -- nm - zork Oct 28, 07:39
  - I appreciate that she is not trying to recreate her look from the 80s, but IMO it's not flattering. -- nm - loosilu Oct 28, 07:38 7
    - again, I disagree. she looks more than very good in the lower photos. the top one? I blame the cheesy smile. -- nm - clockwork jones Oct 28, 07:40 6
      - I agree it looks better on stage than on the red carpet. -- nm - loosilu Oct 28, 07:45 3
        
        and I guess this is my point -- it needed to be portable. for what it is? not the worst. have we *seen* kelly osborne? -- nm - clockwork jones Oct 28, 07:46 2
        
        and she is, like 70 or something. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 07:55
        
        ok, we can agree. -- nm - loosilu Oct 28, 07:48
      - even I know that -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 28, 07:41 1
        
        that's too much make up. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 28, 07:41

        [deleted] 1
        
        Practice makes perfect :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 07:47
        
        WOOOOOOOOO! Again! In your face, tiny child! -- nm - Dawson si Oct 28, 07:34
- i almost got it back in the day. what's the gameplay like? it almost seemed like kiddie chess, sort of. - TFox Oct 28, 07:23 6
  - more like an insane version of tic-tac-toe - znufrii Oct 28, 07:37 2
    - and some connect four obvs. -- nm - clockwork jones Oct 28, 07:41 1
      - yeah. -- nm - znufrii Oct 28, 07:42
  - it's like chess and checkers combined, maybe, with a little othello. easy to play while drinking. -- nm - clockwork jones Oct 28, 07:36 2
    - is Gobblet 4x different from the normal gameplay at all, or is it just different colors, etc.? -- nm - znufrii Oct 28, 07:38 1
      - I haven't played the original; I don't think we have it. I'll ask on saturday and sunday. -- nm - clockwork jones Oct 28, 07:39
