      - I remember when email was important to have. I think 2007 or 08 is the last time I checked it. - Bacon Apr 29, 17:07 23
        
        I check Facebook maybe once a day. I am constantly connected to email. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 29, 17:10 22
        
        I use email only because there are still sites that require a confirmation. Otherwise it's dead to me. Obsolete. -- nm - Bacon Apr 29, 17:12 15
        
        UR weird. most people use it for work. -- nm - loosi Apr 29, 17:13 13
        
        Not me. I haven't checked my work email in 5 years? 6? It's on my business card but I tell people I don't even remember the password. - Bacon Apr 29, 17:16 12

        Our customers use the phone. Plain and simple. Always a live person to answer it. -- nm - Bacon Apr 29, 17:19 4
        
        "It is Sunday morning, 3am, and I need TP." -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 29, 17:29 3
        
        Funny but those calls end up on the answering machine. Uh, we don't have anyone working weekends. - Bacon Apr 29, 17:34 2
        
        ::sends you an email:: - Iron Spawn Apr 29, 17:36 1
        
        Yeah, and they don't get my work cellphone number for that exact reason. -- nm - Bacon Apr 29, 17:38

        The FB bitch? - Iron Spawn Apr 29, 17:41
      - it is not my problem you are a luddite. -- nm - loosi Apr 29, 17:06 1
        
        I never said a thing about it being your problem :) -- nm - peglegpete Apr 29, 17:07
  - Sounds like it's a you problem not a her problem. Why make her do more work? -- nm - Bacon Apr 29, 17:02 1
    - bite me :) -- nm - peglegpete Apr 29, 17:05
STupid question re: Zynga Slingo --- the powerup that will show you what's under the tiles.... - Will Hunting Apr 29, 16:19 2
- I will use it when I have a lot of open tiles and a super joker. Without a joker it's pointless because you can't choose where to go anyway. -- nm - Dano Apr 29, 17:00 1
  - I thought I did use it with a joker, but when it searched, nothing was illuminated. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 29, 17:03
The #4 pick is released, the top 3 will be tomorrow -- (link) - amoxy Apr 29, 16:07 4
- The absence of Jethro Tull has removed any credibility from this list. -- nm - Fuzzy Apr 29, 17:05 3
  - They can skip Tull (though I love thick as a brick) but were's Peter Gabriel? -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 29, 17:24 2
    - I'm not saying Tull is Top 10, but "I Can't Drive 55" is not in any way superior to "Aqualung". - Fuzzy Apr 29, 17:34 1
      - I'm not a fan of hagar, but 55 is certainly an anti-establishment protest song that resonated the situation of the era -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 29, 18:18
Swamp People! -- nm - Beaker Apr 29, 16:02
Today in History ... April 29, 1770 Captain James Cook names Botony Bay, Australia ... the next day he - i'm not dead yet ! Apr 29, 15:22 3

  - One does not simply "this" into Khan's good graces -- nm - Beryllium Apr 29, 17:57
  - yours is . . . inferior -- nm - pixitude Apr 29, 15:48
Todd Helton is still good at baseball. -- nm - Tim Apr 29, 15:02 1

- Wait, Robin likes women? -- nm - Bacon Apr 29, 14:55
I wonder how soon into the process the makers of Green Lantern knew they had a disaster on their hands. -- nm - Reagen Apr 29, 14:47 22
- Fear my ability to accessorize! - David Apr 29, 16:07 1
  - Sequel: Green Lantern vs The Los Angeles Lakers. -- nm - Reagen Apr 29, 17:29
- My guess: "We should do a movie of Green Lantern." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 29, 16:06
- director was the absolute wrong choice and the script was only 75% there. -- nm - Remlik Apr 29, 15:38 14
  - To be fair, that director has been responsible for 2 Bond reboots & those movies are 2 of the best bond movies, of the past 30 years -- nm - flavorize Apr 29, 16:00 13
    - which looked great on paper. He couldn't have cared less for the film and it shows. -- nm - Remlik Apr 29, 16:04 9
      - Yep. No doubt. But, who takes it on, and who is a bankable director, that will get a decent budget, and care. Kevin Smith? Cares a lot, but... - flavorize Apr 29, 16:09 8
        
        Sonderheim (whoever the oceans11 director was) to work with the quirky characters more -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 29, 16:34 5
        
        If Sasha Grey was in the Green Lantern I would have went to see it. They could have called it....wait for it..... - Bacon Apr 29, 16:40
        
        If -- nm - Bacon Apr 29, 16:39 2
        
        --then-- -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 29, 17:16 1
        
        --else-- -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 29, 17:18
        
        Soderbergh - pixitude Apr 29, 16:35
        
        oh sure. you want someone who can handle budgets and wrangle the project and SMith is completely wrong for that. -- nm - Remlik Apr 29, 16:17 1
        
        Kevin Smith is a tyrant!! -- nm - Bruce Willis Apr 29, 16:24
    - But Bond and GL are not even in the same universe! -- nm - cappie Apr 29, 16:01 2
      - The direction was not good. But the thought (of who to get) was solid. Bad actor choice, very very bad script -- nm - flavorize Apr 29, 16:03 1
        
        Really. Should've been a better villain. Could've done 25% of the movie, on the villain they chose, and 75% on the villain (spoils) - flavorize Apr 29, 16:05
- His weakness is what? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 29, 14:50
- the pitch -- nm - pixitude Apr 29, 14:48 2
  - In theory, a GL movie doesn't have to be ridiculous. Seems like they made every choice possible to make it that, though. -- nm - Reagen Apr 29, 14:59 1
    - Except deciding no Jack Black. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 29, 15:02
Was looking over the draft. So Philly got some good defensive players. They decide if they are changing D coordinators yet? -- nm - Bacon Apr 29, 14:35
Howdy Folks -- nm - eag Apr 29, 14:34 24

  - Still in Oregon for next 4 hours heading to the airport around 5 to go back home -- nm - eag Apr 29, 14:38 20
    - Something tells me that all the drama, stress, and anxiety was a waste of time wasn't it? -- nm - Bacon Apr 29, 14:40 19
      - Not quite - eag Apr 29, 14:42 18

        About an hour before it started she said she had to go I just nodded - eag Apr 29, 15:13 10

        No - eag Apr 29, 15:24 1
        
        Ok anyway she is on her way back talk more about the trip later gotta spend the rest of my time with her -- nm - eag Apr 29, 15:31
        
        Hah! You would totally snoop wouldn't You????? -- nm - JenBro Apr 29, 15:17 3
        
        Never on the first date. I always wait for a week or two. Is that bad? -- nm - Bacon Apr 29, 15:19 2
        
        first date is just sex toy inspection. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 29, 15:20 1
        
        This -- nm - Bacon Apr 29, 15:25
        
        Yes, it is an impressive move indeed. -- nm - Bacon Apr 29, 15:12 3
