Watch Avengers last night. It was amazing! The extra scene at the end of the credits is quite funny, but YMMV. -- nm - sycor May 3, 08:45 48
- I'm a bit miffed that we didn't get the final, final scene. Spoiler. - LMS May 3, 09:01 1
  - It's not integral to the story at all. Its just a funny little scene they through on there. -- nm - sycor May 3, 09:38
- Wait, funny? That means they *did* add one after we saw it. Sweet!!! -- nm - Iron Spawn May 3, 08:46 45
  - you already saw it? -- nm - JenBro May 3, 08:51 38

      - I have to admit - I haven't scoured ST this past week because I'm covering a co-worker who's been out so I've missed being able to catch it all :( - JenBro May 3, 08:55 28
        
        Their Avengers outing has been talked about more than znu's trip to Greece :) -- nm - Roger More May 3, 08:56 25
        
        Znufri went to Greece again? - JenBro May 3, 09:08
        
        also, did i hear that he's buying a house? - TFox May 3, 08:58 22
        
        I think you guys talk about it more than him. -- nm - loosilu May 3, 09:01 2
        
        sure, why wouldn't they? - znufrii May 3, 09:15 1
        
        ^5 -- nm - JenBro May 3, 09:18
        
        I think they are going house hunting this weekend? - Iron Spawn May 3, 08:59
        
        I thought they were just looking? -- nm - decline May 3, 08:59 17
        
        I can't remember. We need updates. -- nm - TFox May 3, 09:00 16
        
        I called out Spawn for having a mancrush about Znu and his Beer Making - amoxy May 3, 09:03 15
        
        1.) I hate beer (well known fact). - Iron Spawn May 3, 09:05 10
        
        ok so - "dibs on Spawns beer when someone orders rounds for the table" :) -- nm - JenBro May 3, 09:12 9
        
        If you want to drink dishwater, more power to you. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 3, 09:17 8
        
        so, what you're saying is you've never had *good* beer - znufrii May 3, 09:22 2
        
        I have drank what at least a dozen poele have called "good beer". - Iron Spawn May 3, 09:24 1
        
        this perhaps explains something. -- nm - tRuMaN (oddly mispronounced) May 3, 09:54
        
        so ... what's your drink? If I had to guess I'm thinking Rum & Coke? -- nm - JenBro May 3, 09:18 4
        
        Exactly. Rum & coke is my beer (do you follow me on instagram?). -- nm - Iron Spawn May 3, 09:20 1
        
        nope - but I remembered you were smart and stocked up the old coke when new coke came out - so it just seemed logical :) - JenBro May 3, 09:21
        
        Spawn's a mormon. He doesn't drink -- nm - decline May 3, 09:20 1
        
        there's a weird autocorrect -- nm - pick see May 3, 09:48
        
        he's going to Greece? does Greece have a big porch and modern cabinets? -- nm - TFox May 3, 09:04 3
        
        does owning an entire island count as having a porch? - znufrii May 3, 09:08 1
        
        In Santorini - I would say yes :) -- nm - JenBro May 3, 09:14
        
        Things TV has taught me: Nothing in Greece is modern. - Will Hunting May 3, 09:07
        
        When is he going? -- nm - Iron Spawn May 3, 08:56
        
        (It was weeks ago. And has been discussed on numerous occasions.) - Iron Spawn May 3, 08:56 1
        
        ok - see where it was posted by you on the 24th and that is not WEEKS ago - it was a day AFTER I had to start covering for my co-worker here. :) -- nm - JenBro May 3, 09:08
      - look, when you do stuff like this, you should post about it. that's all. -- nm - TFox May 3, 08:54 1
        
        We didn't want to make you all jealous. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 3, 08:55
  - Yeah it's at the very end of the credits. There is also one right before the scrolling credits. -- nm - sycor May 3, 08:49 1
    - Yeah, we had the first. Screenings last week still did not have the last one apparently. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 3, 08:51
  - I posted that last night. -- nm - Remlik May 3, 08:49 2
    - I was not on last night. - Iron Spawn May 3, 08:50 1
      - I'd go Sat night at the showplace -- nm - Remlik May 3, 08:53
  - I'm going tonight even if I have to take a 5 hour energy -- nm - oblique May 3, 08:49
JackDawson, I'm not convinced it says anything about Mitt Romney not being a moderate - znufrii May 3, 08:45 4
- The soundbite that really struck home to me about the 2012 Republicans is "They want to bomb Iran, but they are afraid of Rush Limbaugh" -- nm - Roger More May 3, 08:48 3
  - Now every new aide Romney takes on will have to pass the "Is there butt sex?" test. Just stupid. -- nm - con_carne May 3, 08:56 1
    - -aide, +advisor -- nm - con_carne May 3, 09:11
  - Don't forget the king, Grover Norquist. -- nm - Don Homer May 3, 08:48

- Ours is hot 'spacho. nm - wang May 3, 08:50

    - good man. -- nm - TFox May 3, 08:50 3
      - they are awesome hangover food - JenBro May 3, 08:53 2
        
        yeah, that'll do it... -- nm - znufrii May 3, 08:58 1
        
        not that I'm complaining mind you - they were really good -- nm - JenBro May 3, 09:19
  - did you try the mozzarella flavor ones? -- nm - colin May 3, 08:46
  - He said Cheez-Its. Not Abomination-Its. -- nm - con_carne May 3, 08:46
- [deleted] 2
  - GET OUT OF MY WAY!!! -- nm - znufrii May 3, 08:44 1
    - TFox is coming for you too -- nm - MDH May 3, 08:44
LYC: One of my Vegas tenants is graduating from UNLV. - ceregon May 3, 08:31 20
- serious question - do you specifically advertise for male tenants? because it seems to work out that way? do you keep it that way to avoid drama? -- nm - Andie May 3, 09:29
- Wait, you have a Fighter Rate? - Iron Spawn May 3, 08:41 5
  - Fighters and students get $50 off...and it's BJJ not BBJ - ceregon May 3, 08:44 3
    - is another require of your fighters that they leave the curtains pulled back at all times? -- nm - Mel Profit May 3, 09:28 1
      - L4 -- nm - Iron Spawn May 3, 09:36
    - I think it's cool you give back. -- nm - JenBro May 3, 09:23
  - golf clap -- nm - JenBro May 3, 08:41
- That's a LOT less than a turnover would cost you. -- nm - CrankYanker May 3, 08:39 5
  - I have a waiting list, but I like the kid and don't want him to take up fighting if he doesn't want to. -- nm - ceregon May 3, 08:42 4
    - A kid willing to get concussions to save $50/month is something. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 3, 08:49
    - that's nice of you. -- nm - Mel Profit May 3, 08:48
    - Then keep his rate the same (as he's already paying it). - Will Hunting May 3, 08:47 1
      - and if you need a reason call it a graduation gift or something -- nm - Beaker May 3, 08:49
- As a former landlord, I would say that a good tenant is worth a $50 discount. - Subversive May 3, 08:35 6
  - Well, it all depends on %s. I mean, this is one room in a house. What percentage of the rent is that? -- nm - Iron Spawn May 3, 08:45 3
    - Rooms rent for 300 (250 with discount), master bedrooms are 400 (or 350) - ceregon May 3, 09:05
    - Yeah, totally. I assume this was a separate rental property, but if it's a single room then it could change the equation. - Subversive May 3, 08:52 1
      - Yes, a $50 disount in several bedrooms seems a bit much. - Iron Spawn May 3, 08:55
  - word -- nm - Beaker May 3, 08:38
  - yup -- nm - znufrii May 3, 08:35
Ika, Ika, Ika. *shakes head* They just pulled an HSX move. -- nm - CrankYanker May 3, 08:30 34
- ~I made you out of clay~ -- nm - con_carne May 3, 09:22
- Hmm... "I'm an Opera user and spoofing the user agent is a bit of a pain but it does give you the V3.5 look... - Iron Spawn May 3, 09:19
- So I should be happy I can't see this? -- nm - Will Hunting May 3, 08:46 6
  - Yes. And my slow work computer *hates* it. - Iron Spawn May 3, 08:53 5
    - like i said on b3, go into options and turn the animations off, that helps speed things up -- nm - tRuMaN (oddly mispronounced) May 3, 09:12 1
      - Thanks. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 3, 09:41
    - I can't fathom they don't have support for IE 8. it's not like it's a 6-7 year old browser. - Will Hunting May 3, 08:54 2
      - They only support IE9? Damn, that's ballsy -- nm - oblique May 3, 09:08 1
        
        Or the most current of the 4 major browsers (IE/Chrome/Firefox/Safari) but at work...installing new stuff is dicey at best. -- nm - Will Hunting May 3, 09:12
- The one thing I like, is the ability to half building time, then pay a bit more finish a building -- nm - flavorize May 3, 08:40 7
  - with Ambrosia? or using extra materials? -- nm - Beaker May 3, 08:49 3
    - Ambrosia -- nm - flavorize May 3, 09:01 2
      - ahh, figured. cool feature though -- nm - Beaker May 3, 09:01 1
        
        Deathstar with level 50 walls! - Iron Spawn May 3, 09:06
  - Diva is going to love this. -- nm - Mel Profit May 3, 08:47
  - I despise the Dummy feature. That was the one piece of honest 'spy' research you could do. -- nm - CrankYanker May 3, 08:42 1
    - SFEK, now it's worthless. -- nm - CrankYanker May 3, 08:42
- Yup. BTW, I casually asked their general (whom I chat with) and with the changes asked what it would take to end our little war. His response - Iron Spawn May 3, 08:38 6
  - This will end when the last drop of their blood has painted my walls! When their heads have decorated my throne room! When their testicles... - Mop (197 lbs) May 3, 09:13 4
    - *blinks* ... you have ... hogs? really? -- nm - JenBro May 3, 09:20 3
      - That's what you picked out of that sentence? - Will Hunting May 3, 09:25 2
        
        I thought he was talking about his Ike - JenBro May 3, 10:41 1
        
        No wonder Mike is divorcing him -- nm - zeitgeist May 3, 14:18
  - heh, I hope Ika hears this. -- nm - CrankYanker May 3, 08:39
- What's *really* going to suck is the loss of extensions/scripts. - Dignan May 3, 08:33 3
  - to the IM....Uh Oh. -- nm - Mel Profit May 3, 08:34 2
    - yeah, i stopped using them a while back, but for some its going to be a killer - tRuMaN (oddly mispronounced) May 3, 08:39 1
      - word -- nm - Iron Spawn May 3, 08:40
- wasnt a bunch of ports being blocked on one of our hud islands? - tRuMaN (oddly mispronounced) May 3, 08:33 5
  - 36.73. still there. -- nm - CrankYanker May 3, 08:34 4
    - sorry, you meant the actual Hub. I think they scramble ships out to join the battle on 36.73 and our members were able to break the blocks. -- nm - CrankYanker May 3, 08:36 3
      - should i be sending ships anywhere? - tRuMaN (oddly mispronounced) May 3, 08:38 2
        
        Hold off for now. I am massing at Central City preping to go backinto the TARDIS island, but I am hoping to wind this thing down. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 3, 08:39 1

Per league source, Drew Brees final franchise tender for 2012 is $16.371 million. -- nm - The Incredible Budice May 3, 08:24 6
- I am still dumbfounded that with all the other troubles the Saints are having, - amoxy May 3, 08:25 5
  - yup -- nm - Beaker May 3, 08:29 4
    - I am guessing it has to do with the whole lockout and him being a big supporter of the NFLPA -- nm - amoxy May 3, 08:34 3
      - I can't really imagine them being that petty.... -- nm - Beaker May 3, 08:40 2
        
        honestly i bet it has more to do with his age, and him wanting a long term big deal -- nm - tRuMaN (oddly mispronounced) May 3, 08:44 1
        
        yup. I mean, imagine if the Colts just cut Peyton Manning after all he has done for that franchise.....oooh right. -- nm - Beaker May 3, 08:46
