      - that's because it's not funny. -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 10:32 5
        
        They're having a good season. -- nm - David Apr 16, 10:42 2
        
        I saw a few eps from this season, and if that's good, it's worse than I thought. -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 10:48

LYC: Based on the box office now, I think the media got too excited to claim "John Carter" the biggest bomb in years - MDH Apr 16, 10:24 4
- I think Disney's $200m charge in Q1 for John Carter says all we need to know. -- nm - spamlet Apr 16, 10:32
- I'd say it's the biggest huge budgeted bomb in a very long time. - Inigo Apr 16, 10:32
- Overseas revenue collection is only about 20% of ticket sales. Studios champion these numbers to keep the stock from suffering. - David Apr 16, 10:27 1

finally watched the video on that Dodgers triple play. that was bizzare. -- nm - znufrii Apr 16, 10:14 6
- Yeah. The home plate ump really blew the call and it's his fault it happened. - Krusty Apr 16, 10:18 5
  - yup - znufrii Apr 16, 10:23 2
    - the weird thing is... - znufrii Apr 16, 10:24 1
      - I agree on both counts. Stick with the call you made, you can't change it. That's not how the game is played or works. - Krusty Apr 16, 10:27
  - It did hit the bat not his hand, but it sure looked foul and the Ump was calling that - amoxy Apr 16, 10:20 1
    - Yup. It hits his bat and it should be a fair ball. But the ump called it foul which is what it appears to be at first. - Krusty Apr 16, 10:25

More of an observation than a LAM: My update about swearing during Candyland yesterday was the most responded-to think I've ever posted to FB. - prayformojo Apr 16, 10:07 2
- did you keep getting the Gingerbread man rather than the ice cream cone? -- nm - Beaker Apr 16, 10:12
- It's because we've all been there. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Apr 16, 10:11

Congratulations, El Salvador, on your first whole day without a murder in three years. -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 16, 09:53 11
- didn't that happen somewhere else recently and then a murder scene came up they fudged the time of death -- nm - zork Apr 16, 10:00 1
  - This sounds familiar to me, too ... but I think it was a TV show. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 16, 10:07
- I doubt Chicago could claim a murder free day in the last year (along with most other major cities). I'm sure there are very few countries that could - pmb Apr 16, 10:00 7
  - [deleted]
  - As of April 11, there were 11 homicides in the city for the month. - ty97 Apr 16, 10:06 3
    - It's very close. My point generally is that we don't do much better. Glass houses are involved here. -- nm - pmb Apr 16, 10:13 1

Can ST guess how many bags of trash I had yesterday? - loosilu Apr 16, 09:42 21
- 1 bag, but the time-consuming part was washing the sticky coating off the table that had gl.ued everything down. - TFox, Loser-est Loser Apr 16, 09:51 1
  - next week they're going to rearrange the furniture - zork Apr 16, 10:03

      - what? oh, maybe on FB? -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 09:48 8
        
        Probably. I was surprised it wasn't more. - Krusty Apr 16, 09:53 7
        
        I would say my main problem is organization rather than clutter. - loosilu2 Apr 16, 10:08 6
        
        ah, a fellow practicioner of the first-available-surface method of filing? -- nm - znufrii Apr 16, 10:10 5
        
        exactly. -- nm - loosilu2 Apr 16, 10:10 4
        
        I'm good at organising but not at keeping it up. -- nm - zork Apr 16, 10:11 3
        
        d'oh, that's low-hanging fruit, isn't it? -- nm - zork Apr 16, 10:12 2
        
        Apparently. -- nm - pmb Apr 16, 10:14 1

    - do you want me to fax or email the cease and desist order? -- nm - Shakey Apr 16, 09:46
- *hands you the shotgun* - znufrii Apr 16, 09:41 8
  - I'd just ban her from emailing me - clearly this kind of stuff should be a quick question in person -- nm - JenBro Apr 16, 09:44 1
    - But that would mean she would visit him in person, which he doesn't want. -- nm - Roger More Apr 16, 09:46

What was your favorite kick-off moment NFL fans? John Mara: NFL "evolving toward� eliminating kickoffs" -- (link) - Beaker Apr 16, 09:33 7
- Yeah, lets take all the kicking out of football. It isn't confusing enough to the rest of the world as it is. -- nm - GregW Apr 16, 10:31
- That would radically change the way the game is played. I don't like it one bit. - Krusty Apr 16, 09:42
- They should have a jump ball instead. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 16, 09:37 2
  - They should roll the ball out at the 50 and have both teams run full-speed into each other. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 16, 09:50 1
    - That's our thing -- nm - XFL Apr 16, 10:18

I don't mean that sycor should never get a storage unit but don't store stuff that isn't worth it; get the smallest unit you can. - zork Apr 16, 09:26 4
- I'm hoping to not need one for more than a few months. Getting rid of it will free up money which is one of my main goals. Cut back and live a simple - sycor Apr 16, 09:36 2
  - for starters, don't spend thousands on collectibles. :) -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 09:40 1

Andie's freak pedestrian accident on B3 is one of my secret fears as a city pedestrian. -- nm - ty97 Apr 16, 09:22 7
- my B-I-L has become paranois about this sort of thing while crossing a bridge and that he'd have to jump off to avoid being hit. -- nm - zork Apr 16, 09:28
- I witnessed an accident years ago, when the car ended up a few yards from where I was standing. - groiny Apr 16, 09:27 4
  - did it seem like it was happening in slow motion for you? the couple I've seen and been in always seem slow mo -- nm - JenBro Apr 16, 09:28 3
    - The world almost always seems to be moving in slow mo. That is why I tend to get annoyed with people. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 16, 09:30
