Speaking of the tron, methinks October 14 is "orange day". - Ser Vermyn Apr 19, 09:32 1
- Tomorrow is Oct 14th? - Iron Spawn Apr 19, 09:37 [flickr]
"Facing your Enemy WIN" -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 19, 09:31
I'm "meh" on the Jack White single "Love Interruption," but two other songs from Blunderbuss are smoking - con_carne Apr 19, 09:31
Wow. "Kristen Wiig is the funniest female SNL cast member since Gilda Radner." - Strongbad Apr 19, 09:23 48
- (Lorne Michaels puts her in the top 5 for any gender.) nm - Dignan Apr 19, 09:41
- I'm also wondering how Sudekeis will be missed when he leaves....him and Bill Hader carry that show most weeks. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 19, 09:34 2
  - speaking of Hader, has he done a Raylan Givens impersonation yet? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 09:34 1
    - he would be awesome! -- nm - Epiphany Apr 19, 09:39
- I like her a lot on SNL but she is what killed Bridesmaids for me -- nm - Mobile J Apr 19, 09:29 1
  - Melissa McCarthy made Bridesmaids. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 19, 09:34
- I'm also the funniest male SNL cast member. *twirls hair* -- nm - Penelope si Apr 19, 09:29 1
  - This board looks like a rabbit. -- nm - one A-hole on ST Apr 19, 09:33
- Jane Curtain? -- nm - ceregon Apr 19, 09:28
- Who would you put there then? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 19, 09:27 2
  - I'd definitely put Molly Shannon and Tina Fey over her. - Strongbad Apr 19, 09:32 1
    - Not a chance on Shannon, and not even close on Oteri. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 19, 09:47
- Not counting Dreyfus and Poehler... maybe. -- nm - Ser Vermyn Apr 19, 09:26 33
  - Poehler is the only contender. nm - Dignan Apr 19, 09:31 4
    - Her or Maya Rudolph were the only two that I would even consider for the argument. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 19, 09:35 3
      - Rudolph certainly doesn't get the cred she deserves, she was gold on SNL. Same for Ana Gastayer (sp?). (nm) - musubi Apr 19, 09:40 2
        
        Gastayer was great. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 19, 09:40 1
        
        ... schweddy balls ... -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 09:41
  - Fey and Poehler were fantastic. but Kristen is a lot more talented than i originally gave her credit for. -- nm - Andie Apr 19, 09:30
  - Molly Shannon? Tina Fey? -- nm - Strongbad Apr 19, 09:27 26
    - I'm going to take flak for this but I stand by the assertion that Sheri O'Teri was very underrated. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 19, 09:40
    - I think Fey is a contender. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 09:29 6
      - I'd remove Fey only cuz she gets the massive credit for her writing ... she's not deep in the sketches otherwise. - Will Hunting Apr 19, 09:32 4
        
        Fey might not have been deep into the sketches, but she was arguably the best Weekend Update anchor ever. (nm) - musubi Apr 19, 09:37 2
        
        Funniest is Fey. Best performer is Wiig or maybe Poehler. nm - Dignan Apr 19, 09:39 1
        
        I think Poehler is hands down better than Wiig, but that's not a slight of Wiig. - musubi Apr 19, 09:40
        
        this. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 09:33
      - Fey is a contender but she's a narrow and specific type of humor. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 19, 09:30
    - Molly, yes. I love Tina, but she doesn't have the range. - Ser Vermyn Apr 19, 09:29 16
      - [deleted] 15
        
        Well, she also did this little thing that's important to comedy called writing -- nm - con_carne Apr 19, 09:40
        
        Her Palin though was incredibly influential. - Mel Profit Apr 19, 09:38 1
        
        Think of how many people still think Palin actually said that. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 09:41
        
        And those 2 tricks are LIGHT YEARS better than the stupid Gilly bit. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 19, 09:33 6
        
        I prefer Penelope over Gilly, but Wiig's got more than just those two bits -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 09:34 5
        
        She needs to do more Aunt Linda, less Garth and Kat. -- nm - Ser Vermyn Apr 19, 09:40
        
        yeah, her Drew Barrymore impersonation was spot on perfect. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 19, 09:37 2
        
        the tone inflection sold it -- nm - Epiphany Apr 19, 09:39
        
        iirc, drew barrymore came on and impersonated Gilly, as well -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 09:38
        
        Don't make her sing. -- nm - Ser Vermyn Apr 19, 09:37
        
        she wasn't even on SNL when she did Palin, she'd left, they just brought her back for that. -- nm - Andie Apr 19, 09:32 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        Fey's book is interesting if you like her and are an SNL fan, lots of behind the scenes stuff talked about. -- nm - Andie Apr 19, 09:34 1
        
        and she was a lot nicer re: Palin than I expected. -- nm - Ser Vermyn Apr 19, 09:36
        
        damn good tricks, though. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 09:31
    - Mollly Shannon is a hell no -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 19, 09:28
- she is pretty talented though. IMO. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 19, 09:24 1
  - I'd probably put her in my Top 5. I like her too. But no way is she #1. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 19, 09:26
Hmm. Springsteen is playing shows at both Gillette Stadium and Nationals Park. Which do you think the better venue would be of those two? - kelly Apr 19, 09:23 1
- Both venues are so big I don't think it matters much, but Nationals Park will have you somewhat closer if you don't get great seats. - pmb Apr 19, 09:28
B2 ML: Marino's wonderlic was 16. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 19, 09:16
Agreed on Apt. 23... the lead is a drag. Imagine Kristen Bell in that role. -- nm - Ser Vermyn Apr 19, 09:15 4
- Yeah, she was why I passed on it. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 19, 09:16 2
  - for the pilot i didn't judge, because pilots are tough, your character has to be 'established', but i didn't see much more last night. -- nm - Andie Apr 19, 09:19 1
    - I disliked her enough that I did not even watch the pilot. - Iron Spawn Apr 19, 09:20
- I thought I was the only one. I don't like the lead either. -- nm - Jovian Apr 19, 09:16
Words with friends people, what's a good score? Also, does anyone want to play a game? -- nm - Subversive Apr 19, 09:12 8
- BTW, when I saw Dotcom this weekend he challenged everyone there to play him. - Iron Spawn Apr 19, 09:38
- what is your id? -- nm - groiny Apr 19, 09:14 1
  - Subversive99. -- nm - Subversive Apr 19, 09:15
- sure, I try to get to 350 or more each game. - groiny Apr 19, 09:14
- I've only broken 500 once or twice. and play me! -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 09:13 3
  - I'm Subversive99 on there, didn't want it posting to my facebook wall all the time. Send me an invite! -- nm - Subversive Apr 19, 09:14 2
    - oh, and it does not always post to your wall in FB, you can uncheck that box. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 19, 09:18
    - done. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 09:16
Is HSX deleting inactive accounts? I'm moving up faster in the ranking than usual. And with 2bil+ it's usually very slow. -- nm - ceregon Apr 19, 09:10 11
- They did at some point. I went over a few days ago to see where each account bought Avengers and found I am down to 2 accounts. - Iron Spawn Apr 19, 09:18 2
  - That was when they changed to the latest version of HSX - they didn't transfer over the data for accounts that had been inactive for a long time. -- nm - Roger More Apr 19, 09:19 1
    - Hmm. Thought I had been in the first account since then, but maybe not. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 19, 09:33
- Not that I'm aware. There's a lot of money around from the HGAME delist, which is pushing up prices, so you're probably overtaking inactives faster -- nm - Roger More Apr 19, 09:12 6
  - makes sense, but my daily gains aren't that spectacular -- nm - ceregon Apr 19, 09:28
  - Yep, that HGAME cash really inflated the market. I'm struggling against the new generation that are beginning to burn up the top 100. -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 19, 09:21 4
    - they don't realize who they're going up against -- nm - pixitude Apr 19, 09:29
    - There's no real way to compete with players like Paul2K and karspov, but I doing okay just by playing news and shorting everything without a release - Roger More Apr 19, 09:25 2
      - what are they doing that is so amazing? non-stop daytrading? -- nm - ceregon Apr 19, 09:39 1
        
        This, plus reset. Just check out the "volume traded" leaderboard to get an idea of how hard players work at it. -- nm - Roger More Apr 19, 09:44
- um, I think they erased a lot of accounts for reasons other than inactivity -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 09:12

- I think next year's best makeup Oscar winner is pretty much in the bag. -- nm - LMS Apr 19, 09:37
- By his eye - Dignan Apr 19, 09:30
- yeah, i know who's playing him, but i don't think i could have guessed otherwise. -- nm - Andie Apr 19, 09:24
Hugh Douglas: AJ Green "coming to the NFL to make a lot of noise if he goes to the right team" -- (link) - Strongbad Apr 19, 09:08 [youtube] 1
- Brilliant -- nm - volnelk Apr 19, 09:13
"The three adjectives which best describe this killer are Sadistic, Intelligent, and Dangerous." - Beryllium Apr 19, 09:05
Tru. Im still playing multi in ME3, but they have been doing an in game event on SWTOR all week. - Jovian Apr 19, 09:04 1
- traitor. - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 19, 09:09
Congrats to psilotum, and that name is WONDERFUL! I think it know where it comes from. awesome. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 09:04 4
- Don Homer!!! -- nm - Strongbad Apr 19, 09:15
- I love that name too. Major congrats! -- nm - Subversive Apr 19, 09:14
- and not to be coy, I'm guessing her name comes from here. -- (link) - loosilu Apr 19, 09:08
- yes this. congrats!!! -- nm - Jovian Apr 19, 09:04
male celebrity birthday edition of FMK: Tim Curry, Hayden Christiansen, James Franco - Epiphany Apr 19, 09:04 4
- MFK - Mel Profit Apr 19, 09:11 1
  - This. -- nm - MDH Apr 19, 09:16
- MKF -- nm - Epiphany Apr 19, 09:05 1
  - this -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 09:09
flavorize, I take it that you're also just at Diagon Alley -- nm - zork Apr 19, 08:53 5
- Yep. Got to that point, yesterday, but my GF caught on, and she wanted to take over I like the additional content by JK. Pretty interesting -- nm - flavorize Apr 19, 08:55 4
  - just got my wand - zork Apr 19, 09:24 3
    - have you got your robe and wizard hat yet? -- nm - Epiphany Apr 19, 09:30 1
      - heee. first thing I did! - zork Apr 19, 09:32
    - and yeah, the extra content is cool -- nm - zork Apr 19, 09:25
Dick Clark's $25,000 Pyramid with David Letterman and Jo Anne Worley.....I didn't recognize Letterman at first. -- (link) - CrankYanker Apr 19, 08:47 [youtube] 6
- Gymnast! He was giving terrible clues, at the end -- nm - flavorize Apr 19, 08:55 5
  - Exactly what I thought of!! -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 19, 08:56 4
    - He started fine, with rubber, but saying Plexiglass, over and over, wasn't helping. Burning 30 seconds on that was criminal - flavorize Apr 19, 09:01 3
      - heh, Jo Anne Worley would be the last person I'd give that clue to. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 19, 09:02 2
        
        but it was a good clue to incorporate a brand name. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 19, 09:03 1
        
        You're right about Letterman. Looks so young. Completely different -- nm - flavorize Apr 19, 09:11

Wow, that Halo stuff on B2 is some epic sh*t. I'm surprised though... - Mop (196 lbs) Apr 19, 08:46
Apple is being sued by a group of parents for Apps that lure kids to spend -- (link) - Beaker Apr 19, 08:42 7
- and Apple's request to have the lawsuit thrown out was rejected by the judge. -- nm - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 19, 08:44
- One would think there are easier and better targets for this -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 08:43 5
  - Yes. Like actual parenting. Amiright? -- nm - con_carne Apr 19, 08:50
  - but not with as deep of pockets -- nm - Beaker Apr 19, 08:46 3
    - The 30% cut Apple takes makes them a legit target of pissed off parents. -- nm - TWuG Apr 19, 08:48 1
      - I just meant that their kids are exploited every day by coke/Pepsi/etc ... -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 08:49
    - well someone does need to help Apple with their large cash surplus problem - Epiphany Apr 19, 08:48
I think JackDawson is responsible for the whole unicorn thing, it's from way back. -- nm - znufrii Apr 19, 08:41 9
- Which one of your idealistic yet impractical ideas to reform the US election system started it? -- nm - Roger More Apr 19, 08:47 1
  - I don't even remember anymore -- nm - znufrii Apr 19, 09:12
- Thanks. *tunes my IronyMeter accordingly* -- nm - con_carne Apr 19, 08:44
- [deleted] 5
  - can't find it on the Tron, unfortunately. -- nm - znufrii Apr 19, 08:48 4
    - [deleted] 3
      - yes, hence why I was looking for it on the Tron. -- nm - znufrii Apr 19, 08:50 1

      - Yes, around then is when The Great Migration occurred ... -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 08:50
LIR - What a 53k Ika military looks like (95% in The Death Star): - Beaker Apr 19, 08:39 17
- What is the cost per hour on that? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 19, 08:50 9
  - Army: 41k (before reductions it would be 52.6k). Navy: 55.5k (71.2 unadjusted). - Beaker Apr 19, 08:55 8
    - $96k an hour? Damn. - Will Hunting Apr 19, 08:55 7
      - This is where the biggest benefit of jumping a town comes in. - Iron Spawn Apr 19, 09:00 1
        
        yep. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 19, 09:12
      - I was talking with free last night and he is tied up in RL so he's just going to watch our home cities...he could throw 25% into it more than me - Beaker Apr 19, 09:00 4
        
        I count 14 slack with $50M or more. About half of those are building armies/navies...It would be cool if the other half could support - flavorize Apr 19, 09:16 3
        
        I am only at 20 mil but do well enough with sales to stay even. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 19, 09:19 2
        
        keep an eye on .com for ima 5150, I try and check every day but he is still v-mode over there -- nm - Beaker Apr 19, 09:22
        
        I would be too, but I'm buying from Pizzaface, onemontleyfool, and/or DJringz on a nearly daily basis. Buying extra sulphur too -- nm - flavorize Apr 19, 09:22
- Nice. My 41k is about to jump, but not to that! -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 19, 08:47
- wow -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 19, 08:45
- Awesome! -- nm - flavorize Apr 19, 08:43
- thoughts and/or additions/weaknesses welcomed -- nm - Beaker Apr 19, 08:40 3
  - LIR -- (link) - Mel Profit Apr 19, 08:42 [Backboard] 2
    - I don't cycle alot so like to have fair number around. Will queue another group of gyros and hoppies tonight -- nm - Beaker Apr 19, 08:45 1
      - Got it. Makes sense then. - Mel Profit Apr 19, 08:54
