"On an AA flight at LAX. Alec Baldwin removed from the plane ****We had to go back to the gate****. Terrible that everyone had to wait" - ty97 Dec 6, 14:30 4
- I have a simple question that will allow me to properly react to this story: Was his phone in Airplane Mode? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 6, 14:32 2
  - If he was playing WWF, I'd presume it was not in Airplane Mode. - ty97 Dec 6, 14:33 1
    - Gotta be more to it. I expect it was a sorta, "That's the last straw!", type of situation -- nm - flavorize Dec 6, 14:40

- I'd love a one-hit wonders superbowl...either 80's or 90's edition. That would be fun! -- nm - flavorize Dec 6, 14:33
- You give him too much credit. - Spawn Dec 6, 14:29 3

Poll: When's the last time you were impressed with the selection of a Super Bowl Halftime Performer. - ty97 Dec 6, 14:23 24
- Ummm ... never? -- nm - OAE Dec 6, 14:35 2
  - Because you're so focused on the game, right? -- nm - David Dec 6, 14:38
  - keep hope alive. Joan Baez's turn will come around eventually -- nm - jingle pixie Dec 6, 14:35
- U2 -- nm - jingle pixie Dec 6, 14:34
- I rather enjoyed the craziness following Justin revealing Janet's booby. -- nm - Qale Dec 6, 14:33

  - [deleted] 3
    - A serious question, do people actually change over to that? - Spawn Dec 6, 14:37
    - Good call. :-) -- nm - Krusty Dec 6, 14:36
    - this is the right answer. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 6, 14:34

- Up With People -- nm - psilotum Dec 6, 14:26
- I was excited for The Who. -- nm - TFox Dec 6, 14:26 3
  - MJ is my answer. The WHO did surprise me, WAY better than expected! U2 was so-so (except 9/11 stuff) Don't remember Blues Brothers -- nm - flavorize Dec 6, 14:28
  - I love them but didn't really think they were Super Bowl halftime-y. -- nm - Kim Pine, The Master, Ms. Game of Thrones 2011 Dec 6, 14:26 1

Poll: On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being super lame, how lame is the choice of Madonna for the Super Bowl? - Jovian Dec 6, 14:20 47
- I'll say 4. I don't see her mixing well with football, but she's certainly a showman. Wait till we see HER version of a wardrobe malfunction. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 6, 14:35
- I...ahhh...ummm...*looks to my left*...ahhh...*looks to my right...swallows hard* I think she'd be fantastic. - Mel Profit Dec 6, 14:33
- She can put on a show. I'd like to see who her "guest stars" are. Gaga? Britney? Beyonce? I think it could be fun if she bridges that gap -- nm - flavorize Dec 6, 14:26
- [deleted] 14
  - She's famous but her body of work is largely terrible and what was once good from it sounds woefully dated now. - David Dec 6, 14:37
  - We tried this with the BEP. See how well that turned out? - Spawn Dec 6, 14:25 12
    - They aren't legendary, cannnot sing, are horrible live, and make crappy music. You can't compare them. -- nm - MDH Dec 6, 14:28 8
      - In the eyes of the average NFL fan, they are rather similar iin that regard. -- nm - Spawn Dec 6, 14:30 5

        Well, I can easily use the age aspect but I am going for *dance* as a halftime act. -- nm - Spawn Dec 6, 14:36 1

    - BEP is legendary? -- nm - ty97 Dec 6, 14:26 1
      - Eh, I balanced "legendary" out with "current". -- nm - Spawn Dec 6, 14:28
    - [deleted]
- whatev. -- nm - Diva Dec 6, 14:24
- depends on what songs she sings -- nm - jingle pixie Dec 6, 14:23 8
  - Think she will pull out her Wedding Dress, sing "Like a Virgin" and roll around on the stage? - amoxy Dec 6, 14:24 2
    - She'll have to, 'cause she'll have broken a hip. -- nm - nubby Dec 6, 14:30 1

      - 1970's. and many will get it -- nm - peglegpete Dec 6, 14:26 1
        
        no they wont -- nm - jingle pixie Dec 6, 14:34

- Not lame. But I'm whelmed. -- nm - ty97 Dec 6, 14:22 3
  - this - and I like Madonna - I just think she's past her peak and then some -- nm - Epiphany Dec 6, 14:26 2
    - She might not have it like she used to, but "Confessions" is her best album and that was 2005. -- nm - MDH Dec 6, 14:29 1
      - And the average person can not name a single off of it. -- nm - Spawn Dec 6, 14:33

  - Either was Prince though, and he blew that place up. -- nm - MDH Dec 6, 14:22 3
    - but Prince is the shiz -- nm - Jovian Dec 6, 14:23
    - He plays a mean guitar. That helps a lot. -- nm - Spawn Dec 6, 14:23
    - Eh, Prince rocks at least. -- nm - Kim Pine, The Master, Ms. Game of Thrones 2011 Dec 6, 14:23

  - "CONTRA". God Bless Reagan. -- nm - Alec Baldwin si Dec 6, 14:28
- "PUT that iPhone DOWN!" -- nm - jingle pixie Dec 6, 14:23
- @AlecBaldwin. Electronics go off when door closes. You are note exempt. - ty97 Dec 6, 14:21 6
  - Don't they usually say to turn off electric device during the takeoff presentation? - Guigue Dec 6, 14:50
  - New rule? As of my last flight it was when taxiing for take off. -- nm - Spawn Dec 6, 14:22 4
    - It's always shut them off when door closes because you are going to push back and taxi. - ty97 Dec 6, 14:25 3
      - "while we sat at the gate" makes me think it was longer. I have sat there for as much as 5-10 minutes beofre moving, with no special announcement. -- nm - Spawn Dec 6, 14:27 2
        
        Perhaps it was an hour, hell if I know. Part of the FA's job is to enforce the rules. - ty97 Dec 6, 14:28 1
        
        Just saying, he got hastled because of who he is. -- nm - Spawn Dec 6, 14:34

  - ...on his way to see Tracy Jordan's new standup act... -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 6, 14:26
- "...you know what it takes? It takes brass balls to play WWF." -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 6, 14:20
- More than that. He apparently got kicked off. -- nm - Kim Pine, The Master, Ms. Game of Thrones 2011 Dec 6, 14:20
Let's review for those playing at home. This woman gets a "meh" from Will Hunting -- (link) - con_carne Dec 6, 14:14 [Image] 9
- The original link was a chick so made up, she coulda been anything under the layers of makeup - Will Hunting Dec 6, 14:26 1
  - with all that going on below the neck I don't care if her head is on backwards. [nm] - Mel Profit Dec 6, 14:37
- I'm meh on her. -- nm - MDH Dec 6, 14:23

  - i feel the same way you do; i'm afraid i'll roll over/smother her. plus we have thick pillows/blankets. i think i'm going to always try to go - kare Dec 6, 14:38
  - We didn't sleep with Lil' Vermin when she was an infant, but after the first 8 months or a year, we did. It didn't seem 'healthy'... - Dr.Vermin Dec 6, 14:24
  - Amy would bring Bub down in the AM when she left for work and lay him on my chest. A 20-30 minute window but with him there I would remain on my back - Spawn Dec 6, 14:21
  - Better sleep, in some cases. -- (link) - mara Dec 6, 14:19 1
    - The thing in there about co-sleeping babies sleeping on their backs and sides more while co-sleeping is really interesting. - TFox Dec 6, 14:24
  - I think some parents see it as a way to bond with their child, also the convenience of not needing to get out of bed if they wake up and start fussing -- nm - znufrii Dec 6, 14:15
  - like anything else with babies, some people freak out over it far more than is merited. - TFox Dec 6, 14:14
  - advantages are that it's easier to soothe and feed the baby. But it is dangerous. - Beryllium Dec 6, 14:14 6
    - cheaper knives? -- nm - Diva Dec 6, 14:16 5
      - maybe just leave the knife out all together. I mean, that just seems like common sense. -- nm - Reagen Dec 6, 14:16 3
        
        hmm..I don't know. sounds sketchy. -- nm - Diva Dec 6, 14:17
        
        "But the ad told me to. how else can my baby protect himself from the monster?" -- nm - znufrii Dec 6, 14:17
        
        and then if Dad accidentally pulls the covers over the baby's head, how is the baby supposed to cut himself out?! -- nm - TFox Dec 6, 14:17
      - hee. -- nm - TFox Dec 6, 14:16
- "Cause that baby will *cut* you." -- nm - Reagen Dec 6, 14:09
Oh good, our pitching problems are solved. - TFox Dec 6, 14:04 5

- Casting for a low budget sex horror film. -- nm - Qale Dec 6, 14:10 4
  - I'm ... all in! -- nm - colin Dec 6, 14:10 3
    - That's where the horror comes in. - Dr.Vermin Dec 6, 14:27
    - But it's being directed by James Wan. -- nm - Qale Dec 6, 14:11 1
      - It comes with free frogurt! -- nm - colin Dec 6, 14:14
- Would you find it more or less offensive if the camera operator chose not to watch you? -- nm - con_carne Dec 6, 14:09 2

    - as a high pitched scream echos from within the wall. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 6, 14:14

  - "oh really? that's hot.." - colin Dec 6, 14:08
- They saw your eyebrows moving, but figured might as well give your ears a show. -- nm - TFox Dec 6, 14:05
