- We're going to get rid of our 2008 Accord rather than our 2005 Escape when we upgrade. - David Jan 23, 13:53 1

        The '08 is supposedly rated for 24.5mpg in city, but if I get 20-22ish, I'm satisfied. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 23, 14:03 1
        
        We're on the side of a mountain so I'm sure our gas mileage is at the low end. -- nm - David Jan 23, 14:08
    - We have 45k miles on it and its mileage was 19 MPG last time I looked. - David Jan 23, 13:57 1

      - Do you know if any tax was taken out of the proceeds, or did she have to wait until filing to know exactly what her liability was? -- nm - Max Jan 23, 13:49 5
        
        wait until filing. which is maddening because you're like, I have all this cash. wait. how much can I spend? - the amanda nones Jan 23, 13:50
        
        why doesn't *Ann* release her tax returns? -- nm - Mitt Romney Jan 23, 13:50 3

st poll: in your personal opinion is " spitting" on someone in a fit of rage considered " assault" in your books? -- nm - TwinkLander Jan 23, 13:29 17

      - I am sure the boys in prison could help you with your desire to be the daddy. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 23, 13:58
- It depends if you were spitting on an adult, child, or police officer. Why were you so mad? -- nm - Max Jan 23, 13:34
- no. but definitely more offensive to the recipient. (least I think) -- nm - Jovian Jan 23, 13:32
- negatory, but it's so lame. It's something I'd expect from a Serie A player -- nm - CQ Jan 23, 13:32
- No but it would lead to an assault. -- nm - Krusty Jan 23, 13:31

  - I think it's perhaps more insulting, but it doesn't meet what I picture as assault. -- nm - ty97 Jan 23, 13:31

- I think so, yeah. I'd probably rather be punched than spit on. nm - Dignan Jan 23, 13:30 1
  - *punches dignan in the face* - encyclopedia pixie Jan 23, 13:31
- No -- nm - ty97 Jan 23, 13:29

  - Never tell me the odds! -- nm - General Solo Jan 23, 13:28
- Make sure people have to pay to go to the funeral. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Jan 23, 13:26 1
  - The casket will be updated periodically and you'll be forced to pay to see it again. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 23, 13:30
- Have it involve Spielberg seeing three great scripts for Indy 4 get turned down, and then Lucas approving something involving alien heads. - Will Hunting Jan 23, 13:22 2
  - spoils - Beryllium Jan 23, 13:23 1
    - "My defense is....did you see what he kept doing to Han Solo? This man was a monster without parallel in humanity." -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 23, 13:30
- ... and I shall call it, George the Sith. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 23, 13:22
- already been done. Kidnapping Kevin Smith -- nm - Remlik Jan 23, 13:21 17
  - Who cares about Kevin Smith? All of his films together don't total what Star Wars makes in a weekend. -- nm - David Jan 23, 13:22 16
    - now we understand the depths of David's dislike for Kevin Smith apparently. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 23, 13:25 15
      - Chasing Amy is an all time favorite but his unwillingness to improve at his craft is infuriating. - David Jan 23, 13:27 14
        
        mmmhmmm -- nm - the amanda nones Jan 23, 13:31

        like what, the end credits? - Reagen Jan 23, 13:32 2
        
        Your IM is on the nose. nm - Dignan Jan 23, 13:48
        
        nah it wasn't that bad. Decent rental, the stuff with Pollack is solid and Bruce at the start is good. -- nm - Remlik Jan 23, 13:38
        
        and to some extent people (like me) only want him to do Kevin Smith type stuff. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 23, 13:32 6
        
        I'm curious about Red State. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 23, 13:40 5
        
        It was...not good. - Kim Pine Jan 23, 13:50

        yeah that one I don't know if I want to see..but Tarantino loved it. -- nm - Remlik Jan 23, 13:43 1
        
        Tarantino is also biased towards his friends. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 23, 13:49
- ohh, can it be about a disgruntled screen writer who decends into madness as script after script are rejected - tRuMaN Jan 23, 13:20 1
  - That story in the first sentence of the IM would be better named as Whedon's Twilight. -- nm - David Jan 23, 13:21
- George Lucas Must Die! -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 23, 13:20
