I've had the epiphany that I'm 100% anti-Sedaris. - David Jan 14, 12:54 9
- I really like his books, very funny. I was actually on his site earlier to check if he had a new book coming out soon. -- nm - Krusty Jan 14, 13:11
- Strangers With Candy is still one of my all time favorite comedies. nm - Dignan Jan 14, 13:03
- I like David's writing, but don't find him that compelling live. I can take Amy in small, small, smal doses. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 12:58 6
  - I like Amy as an actress. As herself, I'm with you. -- nm - the liioulu with mohair yarn Jan 14, 13:12
  - I confuse Amy with Sarah Vowell -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 14, 13:11 1
    - I don't, I can't stand Sarah Vowell. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with mohair yarn Jan 14, 13:23
  - I love his writing, but don't like his reading voice. -- nm - loosi Jan 14, 13:01
  - I might enjoy his writing. Live, he screams serial killer. - David Jan 14, 12:59 1
    - I saw him live this Fall - had 1st row seats in a very small auditorium venue and he did not read that way to me at all. He was a bit shy - and for t - JenBro Jan 14, 13:19
How good is your working memory? Try the n-back test. It starts at 2 and goes to 9. - loosi Jan 14, 12:49
nmbCY - peglegpete Jan 14, 12:42 1
- got it -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 14, 13:17
is the Fox pre-game show echoing for anyone else? -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 12:33
So, I went out shopping for a baby item; an older lady was walking across aisles when a 4-5yr old kid just randomly runs into her and knocks her over. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 12:20 3
- For the record, no one I know would do this. We (and our child) would be apologizing most heartily. - Subversive Jan 14, 13:07
- This is typical; the decline of discipline is now out of the home and into public areas. You should never go shopping again or we may see "berserk - CrankYanker Jan 14, 12:25 1
  - My post above was meant to go here. CY, you may be over generalizing just a teensy bit. :) -- nm - Subversive Jan 14, 13:08
I swear this girl has magnetic powers and is using a ball with metal plates in it. -- (link) - CrankYanker Jan 14, 12:12 [youtube]
lyc, neatworks is a lot faster with the scanning now that i doubled the memory in my desktop. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 14, 12:04
Will, the Yankes ad likely already moved onnto someone else as their next catcher before that trade. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 14, 11:49 10
- He'd better be a catcher, because they have Justin Smoak for 1B. - David Jan 14, 12:16 7
  - They can stash either guy at DH...it's not like Seattle fans will mandate a top-tier hitter has to waste time in the field. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 12:17 6
    - Given the value of quality pre-arbitrage starters, I simply do not understand this trade for Seattle. - David Jan 14, 12:22 5
      - I think they realized that they weren't just a Prince deal away from it and needed *something* to happen offensively. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 12:23 4
        
        More importantly, I love the Kuroda signing, short-term, very cost-effecient given his stats - Will Hunting Jan 14, 12:31 1
        
        I like that they got two young pitchers. Campos is young and likely two or three years away from starting but with those two plus Nova and Hughes - Krusty Jan 14, 13:06
        
        If Ackley, Smoak and Montero all turn out, they'll look like geniuses. - David Jan 14, 12:30 1
        
        Yeah, I don't think they expected Felix to be there still...espeically if they didn't upgrade the offense. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 12:32
- Seattle doesn't at this point either, he's a DH for them...an extremely potent DH. Seattle has experience with that. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 12:16
- Martin is still the full time catcher with Cervelli backing him up right now. There are two kids in the minors with one a bit more ready to move up - Krusty Jan 14, 12:01

- /me snacking on Ice Cream Sandwich.... - budice Jan 14, 12:26
director of Chronicle may be up for the new Fantastic Four movie.... -- (link) - Remlik Jan 14, 11:18 2
- Presumably, Fox has to put out some crap or the rights revert back to Marvel? -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 11:26 1
  - yep -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 11:27
Wow, Devil Inside dropped 83% Friday to Friday. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 10:58 4
- It was in fourth place by Wednesday. -- nm - David Jan 14, 11:09 1
  - It was like 80% clear of #2 on the weekend, right? - Will Hunting Jan 14, 11:13
- and still made more yesterday than it's entire production budget. -- nm - Dano Jan 14, 11:01 1
  - (stupid autocorrect - sometimes it's really supposed to be "its") -- nm - Dano Jan 14, 11:02
So it's Tebow and Jesus vs. Brady and Belichick (aka the Devil) for the soul of the entire universe? -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 10:58 6

  - Footbocalypse! Jim Cantore will be reporting from the sidelines. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 11:27
  - This. - Stephen Jan 14, 11:13 2
    - *shrug* Can't blame ESPN for doing what do, any more than any other network. The only bias on TV is on the side of ratings and money. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 11:28 1
      - Sure we can. Much like Fox "News", ESPN doesn't report the news, they make the news. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 12:22
- It's a Football game -- nm - amoxy Jan 14, 10:58

Knight and Day should have been about 10x better than it was. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 10:32 5
- It drops off after the 1st act. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 11:23
- Such a fun movie. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:48 1
  - If the lead actress was decent, I might like it; but the plotting just fails for me. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 10:55
- agreed. but there are a couple of good segments that make it an ok rental. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 10:35 1
  - agreed -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 11:24
thank god, I'm off the hydrocodon today. awful stuff. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 10:28
Caught the end of Clueless on Comedy Central now switched over to VH1 for the end of Pretty in Pink. -- nm - Dano Jan 14, 10:23 1
- You know how on Seinfeld they had the tops-only muffin store? How about a theater that only played the last reel of movies? -- nm - nubby Jan 14, 10:44
I thought Jesper on Facebook was danedukenuuk. It appears I was mistaken. Now I don't even know if danedukenuuk is my friend on Facebook. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 10:15 3
- First thought: see, I'm not the only one that confuses STers nicks and their FB real names! FB - Stephen Jan 14, 11:11
- Dane's initials are MK. He should be listed on the TT/ST group page. -- nm - Krusty Jan 14, 10:20 1
  - Oh, heck yeah! I know Dane. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 11:24

Did you know they're making Twilight but with zombies? -- (link) - Guigue Jan 14, 09:39 11
- More like vampire undead. Zombies aren't sentient. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 09:48
- Oh, Nicholas. You'd been doing so well. -- nm - nubby Jan 14, 09:47
- yeah. there is a whole lit thing about zombie romance going on. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 09:45 3
