  - 97 was rather weak overall imo --- sure, it's got MIB and Air Force 1, but it also has some utter garbage - Will Hunting May 29, 10:34 3

    - err, put this below DH's --- -- nm - Will Hunting May 29, 10:35

- [deleted] 1
  - It was also the summer of Xanadu! (Max may have a change of heart) -- nm - Roger More May 29, 10:32

  - I was going to respond with 1989, but then I looked at the box office list and after the big 2 or 3 it wasn't that special actually. -- nm - Don Homer May 29, 10:31
- *blech* -- nm - David, neutral May 29, 10:20 2
  - The best part of that list is that it let me know there's new Garfunkel & Oates. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy May 29, 10:34
  - How can you "blech" Star Trek 2 and Road Warrior and Poltergeist and Rocky 3? - Beryllium May 29, 10:29
- The irony is that ET killed a lot of those films at the box office. - Roger More May 29, 10:16 4
  - ET is the only one I saw in the theater of all those. -- nm - Kim Pine May 29, 10:17 3

      - Those plus Star Trek II, The Thing and Road Warrior -- nm - amoxy May 29, 10:25
- I'd take 84 over that list. - Will Hunting May 29, 10:14 3
  - My first inclination is to agree with you. Though the inclusion of Purple Rain and Red Dawn hurt your case! ;) -- nm - Don Homer May 29, 10:39
  - I was just going to say the exact same thing. -- nm - Kim Pine May 29, 10:15 1
    - yeah, but do you have a mouthfull of triple cheeseburger at the time? nm -- nm - groiny May 29, 10:15
Thinking Outside the Tomb: what do you get when you combine corporatespeak with religion? -- (link) - mara May 29, 10:10 1
- Small Dangerous Churches? - Old Antarctic Explorer May 29, 10:17
I have a slight suspicion that the gas guy forgot to re-light the fireplace ... hmm -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 10:08 2
- I forget to relight appliances from time to time....Did he only miss the fireplace? -- nm - J May 29, 10:32 1
  - yes, but he's coming back when the new stove arrives to hook everything back up, so it's fine -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 10:34

- The SI made me believe it was the Bears. -- nm - David, neutral May 29, 10:01
- So...the first 29 teams on the list turned them down? -- nm - Will Hunting May 29, 09:59 7
  - They signed Peyton Manning and Matt Flynn this offseason, remember? -- nm - David, neutral May 29, 10:02 2
    - [deleted]
    - See, they hope their fanbase wouldn't notice if they drafted a guy whose name sounds like Manning or Flynn - Will Hunting May 29, 10:05
  - And they probably had to ask like twice before they got to the Dolphins -- nm - eag May 29, 10:02 3
    - "Christ, if the Dolphins say no, we're down the Cardinals or the Jaguars." -- nm - Will Hunting May 29, 10:04 2

- Right. Here I am. Slow down. I can't move too fast. -- nm - Zombie Davey Jones May 29, 09:52
Kilbo, a suggestion I have would be to sign up for the Disney Visa. - David, neutral May 29, 09:41 8
- Looking at that now but theme park passes are excluded - oblique May 29, 10:35
- and buy a fastpass. I love those things. -- nm - Remlik May 29, 09:54 6
  - last time we went you just used a machine to get one in the park and they assigned you a time -- nm - oblique May 29, 10:32
  - what is that, to go to the front of the ride lines? nm -- nm - groiny May 29, 09:56 4
    - yup. They're not cheap. But they beat waiting in line for 45 to an hour or more in line for rides. - Remlik May 29, 09:58 3
      - They also have apps now that will notify you of your schedule. -- nm - David, neutral May 29, 10:01 2
        
        they're strictly enforcing the time now as well; can't just show up whenever, only when scheduled -- nm - Beaker May 29, 10:28
        
        that is awesome. We had a cheat pass for Universal (they don't do Fastpass) that was a Fastpass...and it was essential at Harry Potter. - Remlik May 29, 10:02

is it bad that i know wish that kilbo would post his halo fail and that would get included in RoosterTeeth's fails of the weeks video? -- nm - tRuMaN ( not a monkey ) May 29, 09:10 5
- "What's that red light crossing my path?" *SHINY* *bzzzt* -- nm - oblique May 29, 09:12 4
  - It's the *easiest* weapon in the game to realize your teammate is using! -- nm - David, neutral May 29, 09:33 1
    - but its so shiny, how could kilbo resist its shinybeamness? -- nm - tRuMaN ( not a monkey ) May 29, 09:33

  - An email list I'm on discussed this at length. The decision seems to hinge on the Judge not filing the verdict on the two charges of acquittal, but, - TWuG May 29, 09:06 1

LIR: Jax. What did you mean? -- nm - oblique May 29, 08:56 16
- PONY UP YOU CHEAP BASTARD!!!!! nm -- nm - groiny May 29, 09:03 6
  - You know what else is expensive? Couches. Holy fuck - oblique May 29, 09:08 5
    - we get to buy a new frig tonight since ours has gone out. - Epiphany May 29, 09:13 4
      - I've almost gotten to that point with washers/driers. Shit breaks even if I buy the nice stuff so why bother? - oblique May 29, 09:14 1
        
        exactly -- nm - Epiphany May 29, 09:51
      - if they made them better, you wouldn't be buying a new one right now! -- nm - Don Homer May 29, 09:14 1

- I think he means that you pretty much have to get the tickets from Disney (or one of their agents) - decline May 29, 09:02 8
  - This. Even Florida Family deals are only like $5 off the daily. And they check IDs at the gate. - JaxSean May 29, 09:31
  - gotcha. that's cool. *prepares wallet for shock and awe* -- nm - oblique May 29, 09:07 6
    - it shocked me how expensive the tickets are, you are probably going to go into full on arrest. nm -- nm - groiny May 29, 09:08 5
      - We've never been, but I have looked into it before. I can't believe how many families are able to afford it. -- nm - Don Homer May 29, 09:09 4
        
        if you signup for disney vacations or something like that site, you can find deals on trip packages -- nm - tRuMaN ( not a monkey ) May 29, 09:30 1
        
        yeah, my friends who came from here said it was way cheaper buying a package than doing it all separate. -- nm - Andie May 29, 09:45
        
        It looks to cost us as much to go into the park for a few days as it did to fly down there -- nm - oblique May 29, 09:10 1
        
        yup. nm -- nm - groiny May 29, 09:11
