      - [deleted] 4
        
        I was teasing at Jack, you are totally Will. Everyone dreams to be Karen, but no one can touch her. -- nm - MDH Nov 7, 08:18 3

    - I think (speculation spoilers) - Epiphany Nov 7, 08:13 1
      - It was! The way they just...dropped. Gory but well done. -- nm - bc/nc Nov 7, 08:17

Using 1167 MB of your 7638 MB (I am so not okay with this.) -- nm - mandy Nov 7, 07:19 1

Walking Dead recap (most of which I totally agree with) - spoilers -- (link) - Beaker Nov 7, 07:18 2

I cannot even contemplate running a marathon -- (link) - znufrii Nov 7, 07:10
A Chargers team source tells us that Antonio Gates is "fat and slow" -- (link) - budice Nov 7, 07:09 6
- An Antonio Gates source tells us that the Chargers are petty, ungrateful and football-ignorant. -- nm - David Nov 7, 07:54 2
  - it's like they are thrashing around trying to deflect from Rivers -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 07:58 1
    - Oh, that's exactly what they are doing. -- nm - David Nov 7, 08:01
- and yet he keeps scoring TDs and getting yards when his foot allows him... -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 07:10
- hey, I can play for the Chargers!!!! nm -- nm - groiny Nov 7, 07:09 1
  - hear the QB position might be open soon -- nm - budice Nov 7, 07:11
Captain America - B-...Planet of the Apes - INC (Spoilers for Apes) - Mel Profit Nov 7, 07:08
From a Facebook post about filming Dark Knight Returns in Newark - Jovian Nov 7, 07:01
out = our, dumas -- nm - mara Nov 7, 07:01 1
- *sigh* -- nm - mara Nov 7, 07:01
I checked out collection and we don't have Touched: The Jerry Sandusky Story. I'm so disappointed. -- nm - mara Nov 7, 07:00
Now that I've recovered a bit... Just wanted to say again what a great time I had with CY last night! - Mop on Macbook Air Nov 7, 06:59 6
- He should drive people around LA for a living. He sounds really good at it. -- nm - mara Nov 7, 07:16 3
  - In essence he does. I think most of his clients are in O.C. but a lot of his work takes him to L.A. Too bad for - MojaveMeg Nov 7, 07:36 2
    - Heh, I was joking. (Yeah, not that funny.) -- nm - mara Nov 7, 07:36 1
      - :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 7, 07:38
- Agree on all counts, wish I could get up there to meet you but guess not :( - MojaveMeg Nov 7, 07:15
- that sounds awesome -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 06:59
while not zombie related, Hell on Wheels didn't hold back alot on some of their violence and gore - spoilers - Beaker Nov 7, 06:57
Once Upon a Time must have a huge fake eyelash budget - LOL. - Epiphany Nov 7, 06:55 15
- it is most excellent. caught up with it this weekend and chose to watch the new episode over TAR - Jovian Nov 7, 07:04
- it's wonderful. i am excited for next week... - TFox Nov 7, 06:56 13
  - I really love it, too. - Kim Pine Nov 7, 06:57 12
    - I'm surprised that I'm liking both it and Grimm pretty equally. - znufrii Nov 7, 07:05 5
      - [deleted] 1
        
        math is hard... - znufrii Nov 7, 07:17
      - we *love* grimm. -- nm - mandy Nov 7, 07:09
      - Grimm is fine, but if it gets cancelled, I'll be ok. - TFox Nov 7, 07:06 1
        
        agreed. Grimm is decent (and I like the blutbad a lot), but it's Supernatural redux. - Kim Pine Nov 7, 07:46
    - It's probably in my 2-3 favorite new shows -- nm - prayformojo Nov 7, 07:01
    - (you read fables right? - how does it compare?) -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 06:58 4
      - Yeah, I love Fables, too. - Kim Pine Nov 7, 07:01
      - it's sweeter than Fables (though admittedly i'm only a few trades deep in Fables). (minor spoils) - TFox Nov 7, 06:59 2
        
        Fables gets super dark, FWIW. -- nm - Reagen Nov 7, 07:11 1
        
        and yet, seems like a Disney cartoon compared to where The Walking Dead books went :) -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 07:12
wow, mandy if your post on B2 is true, wow. -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 06:54 1
- kitchen beers last night were just *insane.* my friend e who used to work in old main and just resigned was like - mandy Nov 7, 07:00
Let me elaborate on Paterno a little further... - TFox Nov 7, 06:54 33
- One point I'd like to hear more about is the circumstances surrounding Sandusky's retirement - Brian Nov 7, 07:58
- Everyone at that program stands to blame imho -- nm - budice Nov 7, 07:23 21
  - was it paterno's job to tell other asst coaches? I mean, I do feel as though as he's culpable some, but he did what he was supposed to do. - mandy Nov 7, 07:27 20
    - He reported it to the AD who sat on it basically. - Will Hunting Nov 7, 07:32 19
      - Here is my problem with this line of thinking... - David Nov 7, 08:00 3
        
        exactly this -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 08:11
        
        What pisses me off is his "I'm shocked -- *shocked* -- to find that anal rape of a child has occurred in my athletic department." - mara Nov 7, 08:05
        
        Word and word and word. -- nm - Jim Nov 7, 08:03
      - I think the question of done-ness is slightly more complex than that. I think paterno could be done *if* it made to look like spanier knew nothing. - mandy Nov 7, 07:40 7
        
        JoePa's 83 years old...they've been looking to move him for a decade... - Will Hunting Nov 7, 07:44 6
        
        but have they been looking to move him in large part because of this? I mean, that's what people are wondering. that's what people who may have ways - mandy Nov 7, 07:46 5
        
        No, there are a dozen reasons to move him onward that don't revolve around this - Will Hunting Nov 7, 07:50 4
        
        Although the interesting question here is why this story broke only days after he got the record. - David Nov 7, 08:02 3
        
        I'm more wondering why it took 6 years to get the story rolling. - Will Hunting Nov 7, 08:07 2
        
        That's what happens during a cover-up. - David Nov 7, 08:13 1
        
        here's a decent student-written piece on this. I don't have the reverence for football here that most do, but I think - amanda in the stacks Nov 7, 08:20
      - right, I think this will be the thing that gives people the reason to push him out. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 7, 07:39 6
        
        He's about 85, isn't he? Seems kind of a no-brainer for him to step down. -- nm - mara Nov 7, 07:40 5
        
        JoePa probably has done more to make PSU relevent than any coach for any university in modern sports. - Will Hunting Nov 7, 07:43 3
        
        and this is my other point. who do you ahve take the fall, if you're thee board: beloved football coach who brings in tens of - mandy Nov 7, 07:51 1
        
        sorry about my typos here. wow. am I drunk? -- nm - mandy Nov 7, 07:53
        
        Oh, I didn't think it would painless. Just a given. -- nm - mara Nov 7, 07:49
        
        it was a no-brainer in 2002 for him to retire at 74 or whatever. the man doesn't want to stop coaching. he's an institution. - mandy Nov 7, 07:42
- 1st course action should've been calling the state police. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 7, 06:57 7
  - what I want to know is why those detectives in 2002 (?) who witnessed the mom confront him did nothing else. - mandy Nov 7, 07:02 6
    - I hadn't heard about that. I googled and found this, maybe others haven't seen it either: -- (link) - mara Nov 7, 07:05 5
      - a part of the reason I'm so pissed off is that I volunteer for his stupid charity. I work social events, mainly, and my unspoken job is to flirt with - mandy Nov 7, 07:15 3
        
        Start talking to other volunteers and set up a class action. That will empower you with a voice in this. -- nm - David Nov 7, 07:56
        
        Ugh,ugh, ugh. I would be livid. -- nm - mara Nov 7, 07:17
        
        ugh. i can't imagine, i'd be furious too. -- nm - TFox Nov 7, 07:17
      - (It was 1998.) -- nm - mara Nov 7, 07:05
- the mcqueary thing is so damning. "shut up, and we'll give you a job as an asst coach at a big ten (are we big ten?) school." - mandy Nov 7, 06:56
- oh for sure, I just don't think he comes out squeeky clean either (unless there is more to this that will come out as we go along) -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 06:55
