- This has happened to me a couple times. I think it's a clever way to find out if you're available. - ceregon Dec 28, 10:57
- she was seeing if you had a woman or not. -- nm - Remlik Dec 28, 10:34
- The only reasonable interpretation is that Miss Wendy wanted to be tied to you in holy matrimony. -- nm - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 28, 10:34
- she was slyly asking if you were single or not -- nm - Blanc de Noirs methode zeitgeist Dec 28, 10:32
- It's a trap! You only come out looking either like a pig because you're eating two burgers or wasteful for throwing it away uneaten -- nm - oblique Dec 28, 10:31 1
  - this - she didn't want to imply you're fat. -- nm - loosilu Dec 28, 10:31

  - I think they end up with a former JoePa player - Strongbad Dec 28, 10:39 2

I assume you guys did a Christmas movie poll the last two days while I was off. Tintin: B- (Indy light, but fun). Christmas Vacation: A (still funny) -- nm - oblique Dec 28, 10:20 24

    - i disagree - prayformojo Dec 28, 10:26 1

    - Bring back Emilio Estevez! -- nm - Mop Dec 28, 10:25
- Bridesmaids: B, Horrible Bosses: C+ -- nm - Strongbad Dec 28, 10:21 13
  - I would reverse those ratings. Bridesmaids disappointed me, Horrible bosses surprised me -- nm - amoxy Dec 28, 10:39 4
    - Wiig and Aniston are the only parts I enjoyed about Horrible Bosses. - Strongbad Dec 28, 10:40 3
      - Wiig was in Horrible Bosses? If you mean Bridemaids, I did not like her in that movie - amoxy Dec 28, 10:49 2
        
        err, yes. Sorry I switched them. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 28, 10:51 1
        
        (brain is still on vacation mode) -- nm - Strongbad Dec 28, 10:52
  - I laughed a lot more at Horrible Bosses than I expected. - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 28, 10:26 5
    - There were a couple of funny lines... but overall, meh. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 28, 10:28
    - Yeah, I did not expect it to be as funny as it was. And Always Sunny....you should watch it after some of the stuff you admit to watching. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 28, 10:28
    - well, you also laughed at Step Brothers so -- nm - jingle pixie Dec 28, 10:26 2
      - Pah! -- nm - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 28, 10:27 1
        
        What are you even saying? -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 28, 10:28
  - Oh yeah, I saw Bridesmaids too: C. I thought it was meh -- nm - oblique Dec 28, 10:22 1

Yeah, we went there. HWDYK presents 2011: The Year in Kate Upton -- (link) - prayformojo Dec 28, 10:17 8
- who? -- nm - znufrii Dec 28, 10:29
- Uhm, yeah, what Remlik said. I would have gone through the whole poll and gotten every question wrong, if only to see 15 pictures of Kate Upton. -- nm - Mop Dec 28, 10:26
- it really fails and I'll tell you why. There should be a picture of her on every page with a question. -- nm - Remlik Dec 28, 10:25 5
  - oh, wah. there are pictures or videos attached 9 of the 15 - prayformojo Dec 28, 10:27 2
    - fair enough! -- nm - Remlik Dec 28, 10:33
    - rushed = distracted by my penis? -- nm - oblique Dec 28, 10:28
  - I was going to take the quiz because I figured this was true but if it's not, I refuse -- nm - oblique Dec 28, 10:26 1
    - see I want to take my time with the questions and make sure I get them right. -- nm - Remlik Dec 28, 10:26

Catholic Charites in Illinois getting out of the adoption business after state law no longer allows it to exclude gay couples. -- (link) - znufrii Dec 28, 10:08
Mission Impossible 4 looks like it's easily gonna be the biggest film of the Christmas season. I don't think many people saw that coming. -- nm - Inigo Dec 28, 09:57 31
- Interesting. I thought this would be the easy call. the buzz pre opening was way higher than anything else. -- nm - MDH Dec 28, 10:27 1
  - Not after the way MI3 crashed and burned. -- nm - Inigo Dec 28, 10:39
- i'm more surprised by Dragon Tattoo's lackluster start -- nm - jingle pixie Dec 28, 10:00 27
  - Dragon Tattoo is not a Christmas movie. Most people don't want to see this kind of stuff this time of year. -- nm - sycor Dec 28, 10:21 11
    - I Am Legend made $250 million at Christmas. Black Swan over $100 million. Dark films can do fine at Christmas time if the audience is interested. -- nm - Inigo Dec 28, 10:25 9
      - Legend was a zombie flick, BS was loved by critics... - Mel Profit Dec 28, 10:27 8
        
        I don't think dark zombie flicks are any more Christmas friendly then murder mysteries. Also, BS was 87% fresh at RT, TGWTDT is 85%. -- nm - Inigo Dec 28, 10:34 7
        
        The age old discussion (I like). You're trying to compare movies based on Time of Year and some fairly subjective interpretations regarding mood... - Mel Profit Dec 28, 10:42 6
        
        The funny thing is, I would describe lackluster interest in TGRLW as not wanting to spend 2 hours with Rooney Mara the way they've made her up. It - pmb Dec 28, 10:49 4

        TGWDT had some hot scenes with her riding james bond like a cycle on a rough road -- nm - Blanc de Noirs methode zeitgeist Dec 28, 11:07
        
        i still gotta rent that shiz. -- nm - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 28, 10:50 1
        
        yes, yes you do. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 28, 10:58
        
        for the record, Black Swan only made 42 million Dec 5th to Jan 2nd, it took until the end of Feb for it to cross 100 million - crash davis Dec 28, 10:49
    - It's the feel bad movie of Christmas -- nm - oblique Dec 28, 10:22
  - I meant to look at those numbers as I'd only heard of it's disappointing opening. - Mel Profit Dec 28, 10:07
  - will that kill the sequels? -- nm - Blanc de Noirs methode zeitgeist Dec 28, 10:06 3
    - It still has a decent chance at $100 million domestically. Overseas will be the deciding factor, imo. -- nm - Inigo Dec 28, 10:14
    - no, it's Sony's franchise of the moment -- nm - jingle pixie Dec 28, 10:07 1
      - Is Fincher locked in for all three? -- nm - Reagen Dec 28, 10:32
  - That one is a bit under expectations. Tintin and Alvin 3 are bigger disappointments, imo. -- nm - Inigo Dec 28, 10:02 6
    - Tintin has pulled in $240 mil overseas. -- nm - Remlik Dec 28, 10:17
    - Tintin is doing fine overseas, which is probably what they expected - jingle pixie Dec 28, 10:06 1
      - It's decent overseas, but nothing special. Below $300 million for a high profile, computer animated film isn't really good anymore. -- nm - Inigo Dec 28, 10:08
    - Alvin 3 is *exciting*. - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 28, 10:05 2
      - The sequences at the end apparently gave my son nightmares. -- nm - Mop Dec 28, 10:24
      - So true. I hate real chipmunks because of this series. -- nm - Inigo Dec 28, 10:11
  - it is kinda dark. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 28, 10:02 2
    - Yeah, but the books are very much so, and they did quite well. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 28, 10:03 1
      - What I'm willing to read in a book and see on the screen in the company of others are two somewhat different things -- nm - oblique Dec 28, 10:19
- I know I'm surprised. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 28, 09:58
I am cool now!! I entered the smartphone world. Got the razr. Was picking between the Nexus and Razr. - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 28, 09:55
ARGH!!! Dragon Age II no longer available for shipping! -- nm - Mop Dec 28, 09:53
Modded Wii... fixed, mofos! -- nm - Mop Dec 28, 09:50

- We need more Fox & Hen -- nm - Fuzzy Dec 28, 10:23 3
  - I'm in! -- nm - znufrii Dec 28, 10:26 2
    - I've been thinking of staring a new season. Was just reading over all of the suggestions for rule changes. -- nm - Fuzzy Dec 28, 10:33 1
      - seriously, I'm game. -- nm - znufrii Dec 28, 10:40
- a lot of us were busy for the holidays, it should pick up in the dead of winter -- nm - Blanc de Noirs methode zeitgeist Dec 28, 09:51
- Fresh blood! We need to breed more. - Mop Dec 28, 09:50 2
  - kids don't want to post on their parent's board anymore than they want to drink in the same tavern -- nm - Blanc de Noirs methode zeitgeist Dec 28, 09:52 1
    - we have Lil Pip. -- nm - loosilu Dec 28, 10:21
What?! I'm listening to Steel Dragon, so what? -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 28, 09:47 3
- Their new album cracked me up. I felt ashamed for liking it. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 28, 10:06 1
  - wait...what? - Mel Profit Dec 28, 10:08
- Honey badger doesn't care. -- nm - Mop Dec 28, 09:53
OK Gamers.. Skyrim and FallOut are the type of game I love - anything else that plays like them that I should look into next... - Capstern Dec 28, 09:47 7
- the BioSoft games (Dragon Age. Mass Effect) are the closest I've found so far to Bethesda games -- nm - crash davis Dec 28, 10:06
- Mass Effect 3? Saints Row 3? -- nm - Strongbad Dec 28, 09:54 2
  - (Saints Row 3 is reportedly very similar to the Grand Theft Auto series, if you enjoyed those) -- nm - Strongbad Dec 28, 09:56 1
    - more action-y instead of role playing -- nm - Strongbad Dec 28, 10:19
- Borderlands. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 28, 09:49 2
  - Groiny speaks truth. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 28, 10:06
  - Thx -- nm - Capstern Dec 28, 09:49

- 1/20th of an acre means the house has no yard? remodeled this and that means the flippers covered over a fire or extensive mold damage? - Blanc de Noirs methode zeitgeist Dec 28, 09:50
