I can't help it; every time I see the white-trash name commercial for Ted, I crack up. The red-band version was better, but mainly for the sing-song. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 29, 11:32
My Weekend Plans: Magic Mike tonight, AT&T National on Sunday, 1.5 day week next week, woohoo! -- nm - Magic MDH Jun 29, 11:28 2
- Brave tonight. Little one has a birthday party tomorrow, church on Sunday. -- nm - spamlet Jun 29, 11:30
- my weekend plans the next 2 weeks are to avoid all the a-hole city people who come and trash this area -- nm - CQ Jun 29, 11:30
STIS: should I get a new laptop with the amex points or a tablet. If tablet, which one? and I - CQ Jun 29, 11:27 4
- If those are your requirements, I'd say iPad. - spamlet Jun 29, 11:30 3
  - yeah, can I get a external storage drive that works with a tablet? I have no clue about this stuff -- nm - CQ Jun 29, 11:31 2
    - I thought the cloud was your external drive -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 29, 11:38
    - not with the ipad. Other tablets have usb ports and the such -- nm - decline Jun 29, 11:32
Huh. I guess funny Facebook "Your E Card" sayings do exist: "The heat index is somewhere between OMG and WTF." - TWuG Jun 29, 11:24 3
- I'm just thankful the humidty isn't the 60-70% it usually is around here. 104 and humid makes people get all stabby. -- nm - sycor Jun 29, 11:26 2
  - Yeah. We're at 101 but it only "feels like" 100. - Kim Pine Jun 29, 11:27 1
    - dry heat is so much better. A couple weeks ago it was in the 80s but you started sweating immediately upon stepping outside. - sycor Jun 29, 11:29
I'd just like to point out that *groiny* started this conversation. -- nm - amanda Jun 29, 11:22 10
- aw, you both love kids. -- nm - Max Jun 29, 11:26 4
  - "Why is it the general is fine, but the specific is creepy? Like, I can say, 'I love kids', but if I say 'I love 12-year-olds', watch out!" -- nm - Demetri Martin Jun 29, 11:29
  - I don't *love* kids. I just think they should be happy. and that they should make me brownies. hmmm... I need to make a phone call. -- nm - amanda Jun 29, 11:27 2
    - "I'll make you brownies if you watch Brave with me." -- nm - prediction Jun 29, 11:29 1
      - "convince my mom to let me see ted." -- nm - amanda Jun 29, 11:32
- Well - con_carne Jun 29, 11:24
- some ST chick should text me some nekked photos to get my mind off of it. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 29, 11:23 3
  - I don't think that would help. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 11:29 2
    - STFU Bery!!!!!! NM -- nm - groiny Jun 29, 11:30 1
      - *laughing* -- nm - Pippy Jun 29, 11:32
I'm this close to just formatting my uncle-in-laws computer and calling it a day. I'm also going to burn this board to the ground. Thank you. -- nm - Mop Jun 29, 11:19 4
- *puts on flame suit* -- nm - Pippy Jun 29, 11:21
- bomb threat!!! -- nm - amanda Jun 29, 11:21
- ~put your hands on your hips!!!!~ nm -- nm - groiny Jun 29, 11:20 1
  - I remember. - Spawn Jun 29, 11:21
Ted feels like a combination of There's Something About Mary and that episode of Angel where he got turned into a puppet. -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 11:10 9
- Smile Time. Ha! I love that one! -- nm - miffed67 Jun 29, 11:47
- Magic Mike sees Ted's 66% on RT and raises it to 82% -- nm - Magic MDH Jun 29, 11:21 6
  - But with the girls and gays, I would actually expect better of MM. -- nm - Spawn Jun 29, 11:24
  - A lot of that is Soderbergh fanboyism. Haywire ended up 80%. -- nm - Inigo Jun 29, 11:23 4
    - But Haywire is good. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 29, 11:23 3
      - It got a D+ cinemascore, and a 6.0 imdb rating. I think you and the critics are in the minority there. -- nm - Inigo Jun 29, 11:29 1
        
        Eh, Drive got a C-. I think this is a case of trailers creating different expectations than what was reality. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 29, 11:32
      - *Adds you to the list of crazy* - Magic MDH Jun 29, 11:27
- Yes. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 29, 11:14
Feels like: 107 degrees -- nm - Max Jun 29, 11:05 4
- Only 104 here right now. We might not make it back to 108 today. -- nm - spamlet Jun 29, 11:27
- Hah! Only 106 here! -- nm - Ender Jun 29, 11:25
- The way you are lollygagging around here you would think it was 120 Degrees - amoxy Jun 29, 11:09 [youtube] 1
  - What in the wide, wide world of sports is going on here?! -- nm - TWuG Jun 29, 11:12
my just turned 11 daughter just got her monthly visitor..... - groiny Jun 29, 10:58 49
- Until you posted this, I never thought about this one day happening to Princess Disney....I will let her mother cover this topic :) -- nm - Walt_Disney Jun 29, 11:25
- Whoa. Having met her... she seems so young! -- nm - Spawn Jun 29, 11:22
- Thanks for sharing! -- nm - nubby Jun 29, 11:11 1
  - I turned into Phil Dunphy so quickly nm -- nm - groiny Jun 29, 11:17
- you should meet my son Joffrey -- nm - Queen Sersi Jun 29, 11:11
- burka! -- nm - Max Jun 29, 11:10
- time to marry her off... -- nm - znufrii Jun 29, 11:08 1
  - To the nearest Lannister. -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 11:10
- ~girl, you'll be a woman soon~ -- nm - con_carne Jun 29, 11:07
- The period fairy! -- nm - Magic MDH Jun 29, 11:05 1
  - Uncle Wiggly. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 11:06
- If you haven't done it already, you need to give her "the talk". - Trish Jun 29, 11:02 33
  - for her lifelong sanity, shouldn't someone other than groiny give her any of those talks? -- nm - zork Jun 29, 11:06 10
    - actually, the groin is the best one to give talks...I can't imagine there's a trick out there he hasn't tried. I pity the fool that tries to score - Jim Jun 29, 11:07 9
      - Definitely. He should start a second career doing exactly this. -- nm - Roger More Jun 29, 11:15 2
        
        Scared Celebate -- nm - Max Jun 29, 11:16 1
        
        L4! -- nm - Pippy Jun 29, 11:21
      - Your IM is what I'm worried about ... literally. -- nm - zork Jun 29, 11:13 5
        
        I don't know what that means...but I'm saying with the groin in her ear...those suitors better come correct. -- nm - Jim Jun 29, 11:18 3
        
        I am a pretty intimidating dude, and when I show them my sword collection.... - groiny Jun 29, 11:20 2
        
        "And this is the sword I use to perform circumsicions, if you know what I mean." *wink* -- nm - Groiny SI Jun 29, 11:30
        
        "I'll just be sitting here cleaning my shotgun until you bring her back." -- nm - znufrii Jun 29, 11:30
        
        *BLANK STARE* nm -- nm - groiny Jun 29, 11:14
  - OMG I just read this *faints* - Magic MDH Jun 29, 11:05 20
    - yeah, usually the mom deals with it. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 11:05 19
      - I thought the school has special girls only assemblies....easily misunderstood as minstrel shows - zeitgeist Jun 29, 11:13 7
        
        oh sure, but not necessary at age 11. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 11:14 6
        
        5th grade in these parts which puts it at 10 to 11 years old. -- nm - TWuG Jun 29, 11:19 5
        
        it seems so young to me. one wonders if it *is* due to all the hormones in food. -- nm - amanda Jun 29, 11:29 3
        
        more likely more food, including a lot more of proteins and fats -- nm - zork Jun 29, 11:33
        
        Eh, just a year younger than I was. - Kim Pine Jun 29, 11:30 1
        
        i was young too, but, even a year is a big deal at that age. -- nm - Andie Jun 29, 11:33
        
        Yep...they start showing "the videos" about then. *shudders* -- nm - Jim Jun 29, 11:25
      - thank god. when my mom told my dad "your daughter is becoming a woman" i wanted to crawl into a hole and die. -- nm - kare Jun 29, 11:11 9
        
        having that conversation with my *dad* would have traumatized me. -- nm - Andie Jun 29, 11:12 6
        
        but I mean, as a single parent, you have no other valid choice. my dad's "ignore it and they'll figure it out on their own" was sub-ideal. -- nm - amanda Jun 29, 11:20 3
        
        that is sort of a lose-lose situation at the time - i don't envy those single dads! -- nm - Andie Jun 29, 11:21
        
        I would be ok if I HAD to do it. - groiny Jun 29, 11:21
        
        Yeah, I have no idea how I'd do it as a single dad. - spamlet Jun 29, 11:21
        
        'course, i think i traumatized my niece when i tried to explain a tampon to her. - kare Jun 29, 11:18
        
        seriously. -- nm - kare Jun 29, 11:16
        
        I just hid in my room for a week. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 11:12 1
        
        once a month -- nm - zork Jun 29, 11:14
      - my friend whose wife jetted, leaving him with two daughters, had to handle the whole "becoming a woman" thing on his own. - amanda Jun 29, 11:08
  - AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! - groiny Jun 29, 11:04
- that is early. - Another woman in the house - you are so hosed. -- nm - Pippy Jun 29, 10:59
- Who freaked out, you or your daughter? - amoxy Jun 29, 10:59 2
  - both. - groiny Jun 29, 11:04 1
    - time to lock her up... -- nm - decline Jun 29, 11:06
honestly, I wouldnt pay to see any of the openers this weekend in the theatre. - tRuMaN (what?) Jun 29, 10:57 13
- Really? I would go see Ted. - Spawn Jun 29, 11:23
- I want to see Moonrise Kingdom/Safety Not Guaranteed before any of them. - Kim Pine Jun 29, 11:00 8
  - I feel this way as well. Both should be superior films to anything opening this weekend. - Krusty Jun 29, 11:06 7
    - And Tatum is a butterface. Am i right? - Kim Pine Jun 29, 11:07 6
      - Haha! :-) -- nm - Krusty Jun 29, 11:11 4
        
        Hey, you're up in A&A. -- nm - spamlet Jun 29, 11:16 3
        
        I'll make sure I take my turn in a bit. - Krusty Jun 29, 11:26 2
        
        Not a problem, I just always delete the e-mail and forget. - spamlet Jun 29, 11:29
        
        yeah - znufrii Jun 29, 11:28
      - *giggles* -- nm - Pippy Jun 29, 11:11
- I agree. And Magic Mike will be big, but Ted will be bigger. (I'm hoping for 4 movies over $30M this weekend, but I don't think Madea will make it) -- nm - Roger More Jun 29, 10:59 2
  - I think Madea's popularity peaked a while ago, I think Magic Mike surprises, bigtime. -- nm - Magic MDH Jun 29, 11:06 1
    - Depends how you define surprise. On the other board, $30M+ would be a surprise but I think here that's the expectation. -- nm - Roger More Jun 29, 11:14
Coincidence or not? Tom Cruise turns 50 on Tuesday. -- nm - Inigo Jun 29, 10:52
you know what gossip would make me happy? James Van der Beek and Katie Holmes hook up in real life after all these years. - Andie Jun 29, 10:52 32
- She'd never make it past the B in Apt 23 -- nm - prayformojo Jun 29, 10:58
- agreed -- nm - Pippy Jun 29, 10:57
- what happened to the Sandra Bullock/Keanu hookup that was supposedly happening a year or two ago? -- nm - zork Jun 29, 10:56 2
  - this would make *me* happy. -- nm - amanda Jun 29, 11:02 1
    - once I walked into a pharmacy and when I looked toward the back where the pharmacists counter was, I saw the ... - zork Jun 29, 11:09
- Hee! He's going to have to lay off the skinny jeans. -- nm - Trish Jun 29, 10:54
- (Is Josh Jackson taken or something?) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 10:53 25
  - for years. -- nm - Andie Jun 29, 10:56
  - I have JJ as *hot* and JvdBas *not hot.* -- nm - amanda Jun 29, 10:54 21
    - have you seen Don't Trust the B? JvB is the best part of it. -- nm - Andie Jun 29, 10:56 19
      - yeah, but that alone doesn't make him hot. -- nm - amanda Jun 29, 10:57 18
        
        I know it shouldn't but it kind of does - Pippy Jun 29, 11:00 2
        
        crap, I need to watch this now. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 11:01
        
        It's true. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 29, 11:00
        
        it makes him hot*ter*, though, right? his being funny and willing to self-skewer took him up, like, 10 notches in my books. - Andie Jun 29, 10:59 12
        
        Man oh man - can she even pull a dude like Alexander Skarsgaard? forget Bradly Cooper. She'll beard for Vin Diesel next -- nm - Pippy Jun 29, 11:02 11
        
        oh, i don't think so. that's my point, for gossip value, i think JvB is perfect and her level. -- nm - Andie Jun 29, 11:05 1
        
        agreed. -- nm - Pippy Jun 29, 11:13
        
        won't she have to quit the scienos before she dates anyone? -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 11:03 8
        
        she never converted, did she? -- nm - amanda Jun 29, 11:10 7
        
        oh, I thought it was confirmed. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 11:12
        
        would he have married her if she hadn't? -- nm - zork Jun 29, 11:11 5
        
        I don't know. I haven't asked him. (not everyone mandates conversion. I thought she was still catholic.) -- nm - amanda Jun 29, 11:12 4
        
        i thought Scientology didn't necessarily require that you renounce your other religion though? some weird thing, you can be Catholic and CoS , i - Andie Jun 29, 11:15 1
        
        perhaps, for the first few levels, but this is Tommy, the COS posterboy. - zork Jun 29, 11:17
        
        but we're talking about scienos -- nm - zork Jun 29, 11:15
        
        wiki says she joined the CoS. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 11:13
        
        He's so damn funny on B in Apt 23 that it makes me forget about his big ass head. -- nm - Trish Jun 29, 10:59
        
        I would have expected you to say it was. I can't see what's hot about Josh "Ricky Schroeder" Jackson. -- nm - Max Jun 29, 10:58
    - This.^ -- nm - jnine Jun 29, 10:55
  - Diane Kruger. -- nm - jnine Jun 29, 10:54 1
