I find it fascinating that the reviewers at Amazon routinely give 1 star reviews to any Android app with in-app purchases - oblique Apr 18, 10:30 1
- I think the word you are looking for is 'cheap'. Yes, I am an Android user. - GregW Apr 18, 10:37
Braves/Mets spoilers - David Apr 18, 10:24 1
- Are you saying the Braves won't get swept this series? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 18, 10:28
Yeah, I'm just going to let this one stand on its own. Words fail me. -- (link) - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 10:11 1
- Do you win Brooke Burke? -- nm - spamlet Apr 18, 10:13
I am really surprised that they're going to release all 10 Arrested Development episode at once. - Krusty Apr 18, 10:09 15
- Try not to burn yourself! -- nm - kelly Apr 18, 10:25

    - (It's only legal in mexico!) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 18, 10:31
  - It's from the show. How are you not a huge fan of this show? This surprises me. - Krusty Apr 18, 10:23 [youtube] 3

      - I watched it once..... - groiny Apr 18, 10:31
      - I'm not going to push you but I find it odd that you don't love it. Seems like it would be right down your alley. - Krusty Apr 18, 10:27
- I'd say the biggest reason is they have no reason not to. Staggered releases will only confuse or frustrate users. There is no advertising dollars - oblique Apr 18, 10:12 4
  - I was annoyed that Doctor Horrible was stretched out over three days. -- nm - David Apr 18, 10:19
  - maybe not advertising dollars but if they stretched it out some they could get people to be members of streaming longer. -- nm - Topper Apr 18, 10:15 2
    - I'm pretty sure they are not worried about people signing up just to grab these 10 eps. and then quiting -- nm - decline Apr 18, 10:17 1
      - it's exactly what I plan to do -- nm - Topper Apr 18, 10:43
- That seems to be the release pattern for original programming on Netflix, though. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 10:12 1
  - I've never used Netflix so it seemed strange to me. -- nm - Krusty Apr 18, 10:24

Great analysis of board posting in general.....from HSX razorhawk - CrankYanker Apr 18, 10:08 26
- I didn't realize there was an "older generation" left at HSX. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 18, 10:13 17
  - It's all relative. -- nm - mara Apr 18, 10:15
  - *We* are now called the "ancient generation". -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 18, 10:15 15
    - "We must hold a sacrifice to keep the ancient ones from returning!" -- nm - HSX Apr 18, 10:22 7
      - We may need to do a mass takeover and go OLD SCHOOL on them -- nm - eag Apr 18, 10:26
      - you know...we should demand a sacrifice. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 18, 10:25 5

    - the "hydes"? -- nm - Strongbad Apr 18, 10:16
- [deleted] 7
  - I wouldn't say that. Newer players are hitting the learning curve of how to post news, etc, and not enjoying being corrected. - Roger More Apr 18, 10:22 1
    - [deleted]
  - Sounds like little has changed to me. -- nm - spamlet Apr 18, 10:13 4
    - [deleted] 1
      - That was a big reason for the board split in the first place. - spamlet Apr 18, 10:19
    - *finger to nose* - Mel Profit Apr 18, 10:16
    - quit manipulating movement! -- nm - CQ: Pressure Checker Apr 18, 10:16
I am always disarmed by how quiet Bo Jackson is when he talks. -- nm - David Apr 18, 09:53 4
- I'm surprised to learned that he's still alive. I guess he's just been good at staying out of the spotlight lately. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 10:04 2
  - One of the most gifted athletes of this generation - eag Apr 18, 10:08
  - BoBikesBama.com -- nm - David Apr 18, 10:07
- Bo knows serenity now? -- nm - Don Homer Apr 18, 10:02
ST-poll worthy? I just signed into my Ebay account & out of curiosity checked when the last time was that I bought or sold something, and ... - i'm not dead yet ! Apr 18, 09:53 21
- no, I bought a TigerDirect xbox live card via them recently -- nm - oblique Apr 18, 10:07

      - So flixster doesn't work with Roku yet? -- nm - spamlet Apr 18, 10:29
      - figured there might be - znufrii Apr 18, 10:17 1
        
        Oh, it's definitely interesting. -- nm - David Apr 18, 10:20
  - iTunes? Ultraviolet? What's the price range? - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 10:04 6
    - $2-$5 -- nm - David Apr 18, 10:08 5
      - That's hella sweet. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 10:09 4
        
        For stuff like Green Lantern and The Hangover 2, it's overpriced but for Moneyball and Harry Potter, it's tremendous. - David Apr 18, 10:14
        
        hella? seriously? -- nm - spamlet Apr 18, 10:12 2
        
        Hella yeah! -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 10:12 1

In Focus: Space Shuttle Discovery's Final Flight... -- (link) - Don Homer Apr 18, 09:50 10
- They have special mechanisms for mounting/unmounting the Shuttle to the 747. What do they use at Dulles? -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 10:01 2
  - they must have brought the mechanisms separately, maybe on the ground? -- nm - loosilu Apr 18, 10:18 1
    - never mind, that's way too big. -- nm - loosilu Apr 18, 10:18
- Aha! The imitation Big Picture. -- nm - con_carne Apr 18, 10:00 3
  - I think it's better, actually. The guy who runs this one originally ran Big Picture. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 18, 10:01 2
    - Lawsuit! -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 10:04
    - Now that was a quick job interview. "Have you run any other scrollable web pages of themed large images?" "Well, as a matter of fact..." -- nm - con_carne Apr 18, 10:04
- Picture #19. The girl in the forefront is actually using a disposable film camera. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 09:58 2
  - Picture #20. Nice cracks on the Washington Monument. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 10:00 1
    - Yeah, quite noticeable there. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 18, 10:02

  - Especially (spoilers) - eag Apr 18, 09:55 4
    - spoils - Beryllium Apr 18, 09:56 3
      - That wasnt much -- nm - eag Apr 18, 09:57 2
        
        It was enough. :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 18, 09:59 1
        
        Plus(spoilers) - eag Apr 18, 10:06
- I'm a few behind but I guess I really need to catch up so I can see this episode. -- nm - sycor Apr 18, 09:51 1
  - It was ok but it just seemed they just were using it to reunite the 2 -- nm - eag Apr 18, 09:53
And speaking of Jaws, a cool video on how they're remastering the movie for Blu-Ray. -- (link) - mara Apr 18, 09:46 [youtube]
Reports are surfacing that Philip Fulmer may be a candidate for the Arkansas HC position. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 18, 09:44 9
- Where did Poe go in your group mock? -- nm - David Apr 18, 09:46 8
  - 9 to Carolina - Strongbad Apr 18, 09:47 7
    - Whoa. I was expecting an answer around #25. -- nm - David Apr 18, 09:48 6
      - Coples dropped to #12, that was a little surprise to me. - Strongbad Apr 18, 09:49 5
        
        He's a questionable pick because he's one of those guys who returned for his senior year then ran and hid. -- nm - David Apr 18, 09:55
        
        Right now I'm debating whether to go with the straight-out homer pick - Strongbad Apr 18, 09:50 3
        
        Kendall Wright to Houston at #24 was an interesting pick. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 18, 10:04 2
        
        He'd be very popular there. -- nm - David Apr 18, 10:26

I think even in your 30s that waiting a month or two is probably not beneficial. - Inigo Apr 18, 09:44 10
- I tend to know fairly soon whether I'm going to sleep with someone, once I've figured that out the specifics of the timeframe are less concerning. -- nm - mafic Apr 18, 10:04 3
  - it would have to be pretty bad for me to give it a "no" vote. - groiny Apr 18, 10:07 2
    - what if they can eat more than you but have a really high metabolism so they are skinny? -- nm - Topper Apr 18, 10:12 1
      - then it's even worse. -- nm - znufrii Apr 18, 10:24

  - ie., do you have the same kinky fetishes? -- nm - Don Homer Apr 18, 09:50 1
    - bacon lube? -- nm - sycor Apr 18, 09:52
- I guess I didn't think of that way. Most of the girls I dated were co-workers or I knew them from school. So the getting to know each other was slower - sycor Apr 18, 09:48
- That was part of my point about date frequency. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 18, 09:46 1
  - Yeah, my post was kind of an offshoot of yours. -- nm - Inigo Apr 18, 09:47
Memo to U.S. servicemen: every picture you take of yourself with a dead Afghan puts your fellow troops in further harm's way. Assholes. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 09:42
10 collectibles NOT worth collecting according to the top expert in the country -- (link) - peglegpete Apr 18, 09:41 19
- I collect two things and neither are increasing in value. I don't care either. I like them and I enjoy collecting them and having them to wear/look - Krusty Apr 18, 09:54 2
  - hmmm If I find my old Simpson's toys as I'm packing, I'll send them to you if you want to cover shipping. - sycor Apr 18, 09:56 1
    - Whatever you don't sell or give away I'd love to have. - Krusty Apr 18, 10:00
- *smashes his collectible plate investment into pieces* -- nm - spamlet Apr 18, 09:52
- Emphasis on "worth" (i.e. no monetary incentive). But if you like your plates with Diana and Charles, then go nuts. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 09:44
- *pets his beanie baby collection* -- nm - znufrii Apr 18, 09:44 2
  - the unicorn one is priceless. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 18, 09:46 1
    - That's what the dealer told me. He neglected to tell me that was the unicorn's *name*. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 09:54
- I'm *shocked* that the Franklin Mint stuff isn't worth anything. *SHOCKED* -- nm - Strongbad Apr 18, 09:43 1

- phew ... thank God that Furbies aren't on that list ... i've been positioning myself to corner that market for a *long* time ... -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Apr 18, 09:43
- So my yellow plastic Mork and Mindy lunch box is worthless? -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 18, 09:43 4
  - Afraid so. And your platinum limited edition Coy and Vance box isn't worth a dime. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 18, 09:44 2
    - Heh. I googled out of curiosity, and one actually popped up... -- (link) - Don Homer Apr 18, 09:46 1
      - I just googled the Mork and Mindy one and... - Mel Profit Apr 18, 09:54
  - mostly, but it's still good to store stuff in -- nm - peglegpete Apr 18, 09:44
- Terry Kovel? Who here would collect him? - Iron Spawn Apr 18, 09:43 2
  - Terry Kovel is not a he. -- nm - peglegpete Apr 18, 09:44 1
    - Oh, in that case, I would collect her anyway. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 18, 09:45
Kohl's does what? -- (link) - mara Apr 18, 09:40 [Image] 4
- I laughed. -- nm - David Apr 18, 09:45 1
  - At least they are trying to combat your first. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 18, 09:46
- pejazzling! -- nm - Don Homer Apr 18, 09:42
- *crosses legs uncomfortably* -- nm - znufrii Apr 18, 09:40
Disintegrating wieners board! -- nm - David Apr 18, 09:37 5
- So it's all about groiny? -- nm - Truman Apr 18, 09:41 1
  - it always is. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 18, 09:43
- *crosses legs uncomfortably* -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 09:39
- It's finally Arod time! -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Apr 18, 09:39
