MH - back!!! -- nm - JenBro Mar 7, 10:19 3
- ok question - for the present - if you open it - do you have to use the gold shield 3 days right away? - JenBro Mar 7, 10:21 2
  - Yes. It will not stack if you already have the LGS, either. -- nm - TWuG Mar 7, 10:22 1

        "my breast implants told me they like my shoes. they're complimentary." -- nm - jones Mar 7, 10:22
- His contract had a $28mil payment due....the new rules don't permit the football deciders to see if he's able to play at a high level - Will Hunting Mar 7, 09:57 8
  - So why are other teams looking to pick him up? - JaxSean Mar 7, 10:00 7
    - Becuase they don't have to pay him that $28mil roster bonus....and they don't have the #1 draft pick to rebuild around - Will Hunting Mar 7, 10:02 3
      - got it, thanks. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 7, 10:03 1
        
        Do we need to explain Tim Tebow to you now? -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 7, 10:06
      - 90%. 75%, even. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 7, 10:03
    - To sell a billion dollars worth of jerseys, for one. (Side note: This is Nike's first year with that contract). -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 7, 10:02
    - because he's Peyton Fucking Manning. -- nm - Reagen Mar 7, 10:00 1
      - Of course. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 7, 10:02

red band trailer for 21 Jump Street -- (link) - Remlik Mar 7, 09:55
Question: there's lots of press about how split the GOP is, but if Obama couldn't run again, would the Dems be organized enough to beat the GOP crop? -- nm - Max Mar 7, 09:54 40
- Max, whatever you're thinking of doing, don't do it. -- nm - con_carne Mar 7, 09:57 2
  - I have got to get my hands on the President's book! -- nm - Max Mar 7, 10:06
  - hee -- nm - JaxSean Mar 7, 10:04
- Assuming Obama announce six months ago that he wouldn't run, I'm sure Hilary would step up and folks would solidify around her. - ty97 Mar 7, 09:55 31
  - *waves* -- nm - Biden Mar 7, 09:59 1
    - yep, goodbye to you too! -- nm - ty97 Mar 7, 09:59
  - Come 2016, they'll have a new crop of people....or Hillary could somehow hang around. - Will Hunting Mar 7, 09:58 27
    - Hilary isn't an impossible thought, but I consider it unlikely due to her age in 2016 (I don't think she'll run) - ty97 Mar 7, 10:01 13
      - Assuming Obama wins, you'll see some jostling in 2013...but the real movement will be the summer of 2014 where people who are interested start flexing - Will Hunting Mar 7, 10:03
      - the biggest indicator will be who they trot out at the convention. - znufrii Mar 7, 10:02 11
        
        Yeah, that is not going to happen again. - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 7, 10:06 3
        
        !!! my needs: met. -- nm - jones Mar 7, 10:16 2
        
        signed, -- nm - The USA Mar 7, 10:17 1
        
        God Bless Amandica! -- nm - con_carne Mar 7, 10:22
        
        Of course, using Obama as your barometer is not exactly fair....orators like that don't grow on trees. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 7, 10:05 1
        
        just using it as an example - znufrii Mar 7, 10:07
        
        It will be very interesting to see who gives the Key note -- nm - decline Mar 7, 10:03 4
        
        Peter Florrick! - spamlet (iPhone) Mar 7, 10:09
        
        Cuomo? -- nm - Krusty Mar 7, 10:05 2
        
        that would be interesting. -- nm - znufrii Mar 7, 10:09 1
        
        I expect he'll make a serious push in a couple of years. - Krusty Mar 7, 10:13
    - How are Tim Kaine and Mark Warner still viewed in Virginia? -- nm - Reagen Mar 7, 10:00 11
      - Very solidly...Kaine's future will be written this November (he's facing George Allen in the Senate race) - Will Hunting Mar 7, 10:01 10
        
        those would be my "if not Hillar, then" bets. -- nm - Reagen Mar 7, 10:01 9
        
        There's been talk that Martin O'Malley would be in the mix. - Will Hunting Mar 7, 10:06 7
        
        I definitely think he'll be in the mix, if not one of the front runners. -- nm - Inigo Mar 7, 10:19 2
        
        I like to think I'm politically knowledgable.....yet I can't think of a single thing he's done that I think is remotely qualifying. - Will Hunting Mar 7, 10:21 1
        
        He's run every office he's held so far (city council president, mayor, governor) upon the principle of campaigning for the next level. - Inigo Mar 7, 10:27
        
        That my first reaction was "who?" tells me he has some work to do. -- nm - Reagen Mar 7, 10:08 3
        
        but that was probably the case with Santorum. -- nm - Max Mar 7, 10:09 1
        
        that's the most annoying thing about this run - there'll always be someone for the guy polling 2% to point to. -- nm - Reagen Mar 7, 10:19
        
        *holds up fingers close together* Liiiiiiiitle bit. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 7, 10:09
        
        I want a Justified episode titled "Hillar in the Holler" -- nm - Max Mar 7, 10:03
    - Joe Biden, your moment has come. - znufrii Mar 7, 10:00
  - yup. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 7, 09:56
- I think people would rally around Hillary. -- nm - Reagen Mar 7, 09:55
- Hillary could take any of them. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 7, 09:55
- Hillary still exists, so yes. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 7, 09:54 2
  - but her history of using birth control would hurt her chances. -- nm - Max Mar 7, 09:58
  - ah -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 7, 09:55
psa: Apple iPad presser in 10 minutos -- nm - budice Mar 7, 09:50 3
- would this be a first roll out thing of this type since Steve Job's died and isn't there to do it himself? - JenBro Mar 7, 10:00 1
  - nope. They've had 1 or 2 previous "event's" -- nm - decline Mar 7, 10:00
- latest rumor: name to be iPad touch(?) name...music playing is Black Keys, Stones, Dylan -- nm - budice Mar 7, 09:55

- Pfft. Like anyone's been to the moon. -- nm - mafic Mar 7, 09:51
- just like the Blair Witch was real, amirite? -- nm - Reagen Mar 7, 09:47
- Truth!!! -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 7, 09:46
TWuG/JenBro any idea whats up with MH - I dont even get a forum link anywhere -- nm - Capstern Mar 7, 09:39 6
- "Hey hunters, we're looking into a problem with the game. Implementing the solution will take a few hours, but we're doing our best to return you to - TWuG Mar 7, 09:52 2
  - you know ... it's a game that's down remarkably little considering ... -- nm - JenBro Mar 7, 09:54 1
    - Agreed - usually you can get to forums and I couldnt find any links -- nm - Capstern Mar 7, 10:25
- They discontinued the game -- nm - decline Mar 7, 09:39 2
  - Yeah, they were a *huge* Manning/Colts fan. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 7, 09:54
  - Get Out! -- nm - Elaine Bennis Shove Mar 7, 09:53
I do like the Irsay and Manning drove home form the airport together last night. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 7, 09:34 7
- Manning even let him get to second base. -- nm - pmb Mar 7, 09:49 1
  - Would've paid good money to see him shove Irsay WWE style at the conference rather than patting him on the chest. -- nm - budice Mar 7, 09:51
- I bet they went to Steak and SHake! -- nm - Remlik Mar 7, 09:43 1
  - The audio I caught of it while surfing was on the Herd (yuck) and he had his guy turn up th emix on the radio in the Land Rover. Miami by Will Smith. - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 7, 09:46
- Even after a bad date, it's good form to drive the girl home afterward. -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Mar 7, 09:35
- "so... seen any good movies lately?" -- nm - Reagen Mar 7, 09:35 1
  - "What's wrong?" "Nothing." -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Mar 7, 09:35
OK, so this is what I've got. Day 1: ESB, (maybe) The Rock, Staten Island Ferry. Day 2: Times Square (incl. TKTS booth), museum, show. -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Mar 7, 09:29 39
- Wait, Empire State Building... There's a "main deck" and a "top deck"? -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Mar 7, 09:50 7
  - Main deck is 82nd? floor? Top is 102 iirc? - Will Hunting Mar 7, 09:51 6
    - 86th, and yes. - znufrii Mar 7, 09:53 5
      - Ah, thanks guys. I'll skip the top deck. -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Mar 7, 09:54 4
        
        Ehh, go full bore...otherwise, you're only like 900 feet up....that's not nearly enough.... - Will Hunting Mar 7, 09:55 3
        
        only times I've been there, it was closed (this was fairly soon after 9/11) so I've never been. -- nm - znufrii Mar 7, 09:57 2
        
        (the spire, that is) -- nm - znufrii Mar 7, 09:59 1
        
        Me either, The observation deck is probably better for taking pictures since it's outside. -- nm - Krusty Mar 7, 10:04
- [deleted]
- Don't miss the SI Ferry -- it's free and it's a wonderful perspective of... - Old Antarctic Explorer Mar 7, 09:36 13
  - The only problem is it goes to S.I. ;-) - Krusty Mar 7, 09:57 9
    - then you walk around to the other side of the terminal and come back :) -- nm - znufrii Mar 7, 09:58 8
      - Yup and quickly before you catch something on the foul island. -- nm - Krusty Mar 7, 10:03 7

        well, it was only a first story window so.... -- nm - decline Mar 7, 10:10
        
        Jeebus. I'll assume she was an actress. - Krusty Mar 7, 10:07 3
        
        surprisingly, no. theatre designer, actually. -- nm - znufrii Mar 7, 10:14 2
        
        I was picturing someone like your ex-wife. :-) - Krusty Mar 7, 10:18 1

  - read, then post. -- nm - Reagen Mar 7, 09:38 2
    - how do you know she didn't read it - but was just emphasizing not to miss it? - JenBro Mar 7, 09:56
    - or just read -- nm - pixitude Mar 7, 09:41
- I'd honestly say either/or on ESB/Top of the Rock. -- nm - znufrii Mar 7, 09:30 15
  - I still might visit Rockefeller Center, just not visit the top. I'm a sucker for Art Deco. -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Mar 7, 09:46 3
    - I would support that decision, Rock Center is a fun area to walk around -- nm - znufrii Mar 7, 09:52
    - you know ESB is deco, right? ;P -- nm - loosilu Mar 7, 09:49
    - don't miss the Diego Rivera mural in the lobby -- nm - pixitude Mar 7, 09:47
  - I haven't done the The Rock, but I think this is a fair statement nonetheless - ty97 Mar 7, 09:41 1
    - exactly. - znufrii Mar 7, 09:42
  - Gotta do ESB, then. -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Mar 7, 09:31 8
    - Do we think crowds can be avoided if Mop show up *early* in the day? - con_carne Mar 7, 09:35 7
      - Even worse on a Saturday, I expect. -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Mar 7, 09:36 6
        
        Saturday and the weather's getting nice. Yeah, do ESB *early* -- nm - ty97 Mar 7, 09:42
        
        I did it one New Years' Day morning (8am-ish?). We were able to comfortably - con_carne Mar 7, 09:41 2
        
        huh? - znufrii Mar 7, 09:45 1
        
        Whups. - con_carne Mar 7, 09:48
        
        that could take you a couple of hours just to get in the door -- nm - decline Mar 7, 09:38
        
        Saturday? oof. -- nm - loosilu Mar 7, 09:36
Las Vegas growth (via satellite photos) from 1973 to 2011... -- (link) - Don Homer Mar 7, 09:29 6
- what's that thing in the lower left corner? -- nm - Reagen Mar 7, 09:38 5
  - The red splotches? Golf course -- the notes say the dark red are actually grassy areas. That's an outlying golf course. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 7, 09:48 3
    - to the right of that. The growing white lines on the small mountain ridge. -- nm - Reagen Mar 7, 09:49 2
      - Looks like a mine or quarry. -- nm - mafic Mar 7, 10:01
      - Strip mining operation I think. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 7, 09:53
  - Godzilla -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 7, 09:41
