Like some cliched Bing Crosby movie, my mom says it finally snowed all day in Montreal. I miss snow. -- (link) - Mop Dec 30, 06:52 1

Dryer fixed. again. - znufrii Dec 30, 06:27 4
- That's odd. I would expect the dryer would just stop if that happened. - Mop Dec 30, 06:54 2
  - yes. but if the heating element is on, it's still giving off heat as it cools down. -- nm - znufrii Dec 30, 06:55 1
    - Then it should lock so you can't do that. -- nm - Mop Dec 30, 07:10
- Stupid user. ;) -- nm - lileve Dec 30, 06:52

Record? Highest scoring bowl game ever? (I may have misheard the TV sports guy) -- nm - Blanc de Noirs methode zeitgeist Dec 29, 23:09 1
- 2nd highest ever (but #1 went double overtime) -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 29, 23:18
Redbox's Most Rented Titles for 2011 -- (link) - jingle pixie Dec 29, 21:58 8
- i literally had to Google the number 1 movie to remember what the eff it was. -- nm - TFox Dec 29, 22:00 5
  - It was always playing on Starz .... it's not great, but it's entertaining enough. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 29, 22:03
  - heh, John August had the same reaction -- (link) - jingle pixie Dec 29, 22:01 3
    - hah, that's awesome. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 29, 23:04
    - Excellent find. Good analysis. -- nm - Mop Dec 29, 22:20 1
      - They apparently need to do some sort of aggregate calculation to get the real numbers. - Beryllium Dec 29, 23:18
- "In a category all his own, actor Kevin James reigns supreme as the winner of the first Redbox Lifetime Achievement Award" - jingle pixie Dec 29, 21:59 1
  - Just goes to show what kind of people use Redbox. -- nm - nubby Dec 30, 04:20
What an awesome game. That was so much fun -- nm - prayformojo Dec 29, 21:48 2
- I'm sure it was fun, but that's high school level football. Need offense and defense. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 30, 03:51
- 50 carries, 485 Yards and 8 TD's. That is Madden territory (nm) - amoxy Dec 29, 21:50
Maybe Washington should play with 11 players on defense instead of 10. Just sayin -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 29, 21:46
and that kickoff return was hilarious -- nm - prayformojo Dec 29, 21:44 1
- The fact he cleanly fielded that on the run is a helluva feat. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 29, 21:45
Of course. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 29, 21:41 2
- The scoring record is still possible! -- nm - prayformojo Dec 29, 21:43 1
  - Did the fattest man on the field just pull off that? - Will Hunting Dec 29, 21:45
I don't think I respect Metacritic's scoring any more. MI4 only gets a 73 and Jack and Jill gets 23? - Beryllium Dec 29, 21:38 2
- So J&J should be 3? Haven't seen it, but that is what I would expect. -- nm - GregW Dec 29, 21:50 1
  - I've only seen the trailers, but seriously, Jeff Portnoy's The Fatties looked like a funnier concept. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 29, 21:52
10 TD's in the 2nd/3rd quarters and then only 2 in the 4th? slackers. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 29, 21:33 2
- Like the announcers said, these guys are getting worn out running up and down the field all day. -- nm - GregW Dec 29, 21:34
- See? -- nm - that guy holding up the D-Fence sign Dec 29, 21:34
Showing the D-Fence sign is just being mean, right? -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 29, 21:32 2
- Only if you add a question mark. Otherwise it is just a suggestion. -- nm - GregW Dec 29, 21:34 1
  - sorry, no requests -- nm - Blanc de Noirs methode zeitgeist Dec 29, 23:10
Still making NYE plans? -- (link) - psilotum Dec 29, 21:23 1
- That flyer is so accurate. -- nm - Qale Dec 29, 21:25
So, have we seen the Ducks new costumes yet? -- nm - Spawn - BF&FJS Champion, car&dragon slayer Dec 29, 21:18 1
- Yes. "Costumes" is right. Don't know how they're going to catch anything with those flippers. -- nm - Mop Dec 30, 06:46
no defender should showboat after any play in this game. none of them. -- nm - jingle pixie Dec 29, 21:06 2
- Especially if it's that stupid superman celebration -- nm - Fighting Stephen! Dec 29, 21:16
- You can see it in their body language that all of the receivers *know* they're probably not going to be tackled after catching the ball -- nm - prayformojo Dec 29, 21:10
I'm pretty sure I've never seen 100 points scored in 3 quarters before -- nm - prayformojo Dec 29, 21:00 1
- NBA? It happens. -- nm - Spawn - BF&FJS Champion, car&dragon slayer Dec 29, 21:04
god says "no kicking in this dojo" -- nm - jingle pixie Dec 29, 20:54 1

- same here. best wishes and a swift easy delivery -- nm - peglegpete Dec 29, 21:23
- Did you see the Hazel Bloom Nursery entry? What a wonderful space -- nm - JenBro Dec 29, 20:55 1
  - I did. it's beautiful! not just for a baby ... she will be able to grow into it. -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 21:11
- I am totally in the wrong time zone, but the warm wishes are the same. -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 20:53 2
  - You are? We're not even getting a 30th. -- nm - Samoan Dec 29, 21:00 1
    - nice! -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 21:11
That last receiver wasn't even in the same area code as the DBs. -- nm - GregW Dec 29, 20:52
This is the greatest game ever - prayformojo Dec 29, 20:44 1
- A 98-yard triple-reverse ties the score at 63--63! We have seen nothing but razzle-dazzle here today, three visits from Morganna the Kissing Bandit - Roger More Dec 29, 20:49
Watching weeks old shows off the PVR must be like how Mop feels. "Hey, Steve Jobs died!" -- nm - Reagen Dec 29, 20:42 1
- and Liz Taylor :( -- nm - peglegpete Dec 29, 20:50
I'll be shocked if the Alamo Bowl doesn't go over 100 points (they're at 79 already) - prayformojo Dec 29, 20:34 8
- I remember that one. -- nm - Tim Dec 29, 20:41
- (81) -- nm - prayformojo Dec 29, 20:34 6
  - 88 -- nm - GregW Dec 29, 20:38 5
    - 95 now. I am not sure the first to 50 rule applies here. I think it will just be whoever scores last. -- nm - GregW Dec 29, 20:49 4
      - 102 - just under a minute to go in the 3rd. -- nm - GregW Dec 29, 21:00 3
        
        109 - the record for a game is 125. -- nm - GregW Dec 29, 21:14 2
        
        116 - 8 minutes to go. -- nm - GregW Dec 29, 21:25 1
        
        123 with 2:28 on the clock. -- nm - GregW Dec 29, 21:44
I always find the hardest part of reviewing a movie is to keep from reading other reviews before writing my own. Must... be... validated... But alas, - Qale Dec 29, 20:31 32
- Now explain your review and Tattoo's 85%! -- nm - Dr. Vermin Dec 29, 20:57 1
  - Reading is fundamental. First, I haven't yet written my review. Second, my post clearly states I haven't read any others yet due to the first fact. -- nm - Qale Dec 29, 21:55
- I certainly don't remember the other MI movies being as funny. Deliberately, I mean. -- nm - Roger More Dec 29, 20:35 13
  - I really was caught off guard by how funny it was. And, you're right, not in a 'lol that's dumb' kind of way. -- nm - Qale Dec 29, 20:38 7
    - With Simon in it, you actually had doubts? -- nm - Spawn - BF&FJS Champion, car&dragon slayer Dec 29, 21:07 6
      - I haven't really jumped on that Paul, Shawn of the Dead, Hot Fuzz love parade. - Qale Dec 29, 21:24 1
        
        I haven't seen Paul, but I am entirely on board with the Spaced, Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead love parade. - Beryllium Dec 29, 21:31
      - "Well, after seeing Tintin ..." -- nm - Beryllium Dec 29, 21:08 3
        
        Americans are not seeing that movie. -- nm - Spawn - BF&FJS Champion, car&dragon slayer Dec 29, 21:11 2
        
        True. And I haven't seen it myself, so slamming it for being unfunny is quite unfair. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 29, 21:36 1
        
        *ban hammers you* -- nm - Spawn - BF&FJS Champion, car&dragon slayer Dec 29, 22:00
  - (and I wonder if, had casting for MI:3 gone differently, whether we would be watching Field Agent Ricky Gervais) -- nm - Roger More Dec 29, 20:36
  - they weren't -- nm - jingle pixie Dec 29, 20:36 3
    - I think I remember one joke from the first three movies. Even the Bourne movies had more humour. -- nm - Roger More Dec 29, 20:40 1
      - MI One had the disk trick, MI3 had a few more that I can't recall - Beryllium Dec 29, 20:43
    - Small bits of MI3 were. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 29, 20:38
- I remember that scene! Benji goes, "Kitty!" -- nm - Beryllium Dec 29, 20:34 15
  - (spoilers) - Qale Dec 29, 20:36 14
    - Spoils - Beryllium Dec 29, 20:39 13
      - (spoiler) - Qale Dec 29, 20:54 12
        
        Yeah, I was just thinking that ... - Beryllium Dec 29, 20:56 11
        
        I didn't see The Incredibles due to my dislike of superhero movies. -- nm - Qale Dec 29, 21:01 10
        
        as someone who is neutral to superhero movies, The Incredibles is *awesome*. -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 21:18
        
        Wow. -- nm - Spawn - BF&FJS Champion, car&dragon slayer Dec 29, 21:05
        
        You avoided The Incredibles but subjected yourself to Tom Cruise? Crazy. -- nm - TWuG Dec 29, 21:03
        
        That's too bad, it's a very good film. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 29, 21:02 6
        
        (except for it ripping off Watchmen which is funny within the realm of this thread) -- nm - Spawn - BF&FJS Champion, car&dragon slayer Dec 29, 21:08 5
        
        except for it *what*? - TFox Dec 29, 22:02 1
        
        Hmmm... - Spawn - BF&FJS Champion, car&dragon slayer Dec 29, 22:07
        
        Watchmen AND Fantastic Four -- nm - Roger More Dec 29, 21:45 1
        
        Pixar. What a bunch of hacks! -- nm - Spawn - BF&FJS Champion, car&dragon slayer Dec 29, 22:01
        
        sure, if you replace "ripping off" with "improving upon". - Beryllium Dec 29, 21:21
Craig Sager: "How's your team looking tonight?" Mike D'Antoni: "Once we pop the fun don't stop!" -- nm - budice Dec 29, 20:26
