  - It's Customer Service 101. -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 09:40
  - I know she has not direct control over it, but you sometimes wonder if anyone there does actually listen to these things. - MojaveMeg Jul 17, 09:39 2
    - I like real people as well -- nm - Epiphany Jul 17, 09:40 1

- I know its tortureous. Who is Justice? - Epiphany Jul 17, 09:31 7
  - There's a French band by that name that I like, but I don't know that they rap -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 09:34
  - Wait they are listing Justice as modern rap!? -- nm - MDH Jul 17, 09:33 5
    - I think so? I've never heard of them. and they are awful. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 17, 09:34 4
      - This is the Justice I know. Not rap. maybe it's some other group on song pop. -- (link) - MDH Jul 17, 09:39 [youtube] 3
        
        Yes that sounds like the crap I heard - that is ear blistering bad - why are they squealing like 5 year olds? - Epiphany Jul 17, 09:43 1
        
        I think that's a Jackson 5 sample -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 09:45
        
        Yup. Their breakthrough hit, IIRC -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 09:42

The new Frank Ocean album is only $2.99 on amazon mp3 -- (link) - JaxSean Jul 17, 09:22 1
- "Pyramids" is worth that price alone. Well worth the buy. -- nm - MDH Jul 17, 09:23

New Batman...is it 3D, Imax, etc? -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 17, 09:11 4
- No 3D. God, I love Chris Nolan. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 17, 09:13
- thanks geeks. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 17, 09:13
- Imax. Nolan shot over an hour in Imax. so find a real Imax theater -- nm - Remlik Jul 17, 09:12
- IMAX, no 3D. -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 09:12
David, the little strip he did is on this page... - Remlik Jul 17, 09:10
Andie. We have 5. Cub Scouts --> Boy Scouts --> Eagle Scouts (think they are still around). Brownies -- > Girl Scouts. - The Dark Spawn Jul 17, 09:07 29
- A minor point of clarification: Eagle Scout is a rank within Boy Scouts. It isn't a separate group or program. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 17, 09:37 2
  - Ah. What about Weeblows? -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 17, 09:40 1
    - Webelos is the last 2 years of Cub Scouting. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 17, 09:43
- do girl scouts hate gays and heathens? or do just boy scouts? -- nm - amanda Jul 17, 09:32 9
  - Girl Scouts seem to have a zero discrimination policy. -- nm - TWuG Jul 17, 09:35 5
    - Except for gender? See, I don't know why we are so surprised organisations like this discriminate when discrimination is *in their fricking name* -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 09:39 4
      - They aren't teaching that boys are icky so it's not really in the same class as racial or sexual orientation discrimination. -- nm - TWuG Jul 17, 09:43 3
        
        BSA isn't teaching that homosexuality is icky either. And there is no racial discrimination in BSA. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 17, 09:45 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        serious question - what do you think they are teaching by not allowing them? -- nm - Andie Jul 17, 09:46
  - if you listen to some Republicans, they're a hive of lesbian communists. -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 09:35 1
    - [deleted]
  - apparently they all hate a fashionable color palette and modern design -- nm - Epiphany Jul 17, 09:34
- If I cared about Scouts at all, it would make me angry that they disallow atheists. - Reagen Jul 17, 09:13 12
  - (and gays) -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 17, 09:18 11
    - I'm responding to Fuzzy's comments about why there isn't anger about them excluding atheists - Reagen Jul 17, 09:22 10
      - certainly there are the most mistrusted; they don't have to answer to anyone for their actions and feel free to do all sorts of evil. -- nm - zork Jul 17, 09:26 9
        
        yup. pretty much. -- nm - eveil atheist znufrii Jul 17, 09:28 1
        
        and we're bad spellers, too... -- nm - evil atheist znufrii Jul 17, 09:29
        
        The rationale over the mistrust doesn't even get that sophisticated. The word "atheist" is pretty much an epithet here. -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 09:28 4
        
        I have it straight from the mouth of a 10 year old that I'm going to Hell for being athiest. - TWuG Jul 17, 09:31
        
        it's pretty much interchangeable with socialist! - zork Jul 17, 09:29 2
        
        communisim! -- nm - Epiphany Jul 17, 09:30
        
        Nonsense. Just visit beautiful California and you'll be fine. -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 09:30
        
        Do as thou will. - Mel Profit Jul 17, 09:27
        
        L2 -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 17, 09:26
- well the girls go to University to find a husband! duh. -- nm - Remlik Jul 17, 09:11
- For girls in Guiding (before we had co-ed Scouts) it is Sparks, Brownies, Guides, Pathfinders - Andie Jul 17, 09:10 1
  - after those were Rovers which I believe were always co-ed, not sure if they still exist. -- nm - zork Jul 17, 09:17
My fastest time on Song Pop so far was 0.9 seconds for... - Mop on Mac Pro Jul 17, 09:07

Spurred by bc/nc's Pollstar post, they have released the Top 50 Worldwide Tours (through June 30) can you name the Top 10? -- nm - MDH Jul 17, 09:04 47
- I'm just going to spoil the Worldwide Top 10, here ya go: - MDH Jul 17, 09:14 16
  - Paul McCartney isn't even touring! He just shows up at random venues and people give him truckloads of money! -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Jul 17, 09:26 5
    - they know it's only a matter of time before we're left with just Ringo. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 17, 09:32 4
      - And yet they still cut the power on him. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 17, 09:32 3
        
        if ever there was a case for " don't you know who I am?" this is it -- nm - Epiphany Jul 17, 09:38 2
        
        A Yank and an old man? Cut it! -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 17, 09:40 1
        
        And you'd think being a 'Sir' would give Macca some sway but I guess you'd be wrong. -- nm - bc/nc Jul 17, 09:43
  - Cirque du Soleil FTW! Contortionists gotta eat, yo. - Mop on Mac Pro Jul 17, 09:26
  - *Shuts down #2 and #9 for ignoring curfew* -- nm - bc/nc Jul 17, 09:16 1
    - No. Shut them all down! Hurry! -- nm - C-3PO Jul 17, 09:17
  - Wow. When did the wheels fall off of Van Halen? -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 17, 09:15 6
    - Here's the Domestic Top 10. If you have any requests of how much a group made let me know. - MDH Jul 17, 09:19 5
      - Dave Freakin Matthews?!! -- nm - Epiphany Jul 17, 09:23 4
        
        Expected him to be higher, actually. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 17, 09:24 1
        
        In a manner of speaking -- nm - Dave Matthews Jul 17, 09:28
        
        them stoners will get off the couch to see DMB. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 17, 09:24 1
        
        this is nuts. At least Radiohead has a cult following - -- nm - Epiphany Jul 17, 09:35
- Bieber. -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Jul 17, 09:12
- The Bieb! -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 17, 09:12 1
  - Tours this fall -- nm - MDH Jul 17, 09:14
- Taylor Swift -- nm - bc/nc Jul 17, 09:10 2
  - Nevermind. See below posts now -- nm - bc/nc Jul 17, 09:11
  - #40 -- nm - MDH Jul 17, 09:11
- Beach Boys 50th Anniversary! -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Jul 17, 09:08 1
  - Not on the Worldwide list, #30 on Domestic -- nm - MDH Jul 17, 09:09
- "50"? Geez... That would be all of them. The lower 40s must include Cheap Trick doing the county fair circuit. -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Jul 17, 09:06 1
  - Only 4 country acts in the Worldwide Top 50, none in the Top 10 -- nm - MDH Jul 17, 09:07
- Katy Perry. -- nm - loosilu Jul 17, 09:06 1
  - Not in Top 50 -- nm - MDH Jul 17, 09:06
- Is U2 touring? -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 17, 09:06 3
  - Nope. Although hint, 2 are "performances" type events and not actual concerts -- nm - MDH Jul 17, 09:08 2
    - Is there a Michael Jackson-type tour? -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Jul 17, 09:13 1
      - Yep, #3. I spoiled above. -- nm - MDH Jul 17, 09:15
- Roger Waters' The Wall -- nm - znufrii Jul 17, 09:05 13
  - Over a week later and I haven't stopped thinking about the experience I had seeing that show. I literally had goosebumps as it began, - bc/nc Jul 17, 09:10 10
    - yep. so much better than last years show. -- nm - Remlik Jul 17, 09:13 4
      - Perfected. Though I enjoyed elements of last year's, as well. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 17, 09:13 3
        
        I agree, though I think the change of a guitarist and the addtion of Jon Carin on keyboards & change of singers tightened that band up a lot -- nm - Remlik Jul 17, 09:23
        
        There were some improvements and some things I didn't think worked as well. The scale got lost a bit in the giant stadium even though they increased - pmb Jul 17, 09:23 1
        
        Ours was similar sized arena for both shows but I could see the impact being diluted by that. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 17, 09:25
    - absolutely fantastic show. - znufrii Jul 17, 09:11 4
      - I saw indoor but I had a friend who saw the Philly show and sent a pic of the stage prior to showtime. Outdoor arena is definitely a bigger set. Must - bc/nc Jul 17, 09:14 3
        
        yeah, it was. -- nm - znufrii Jul 17, 09:17 2
        
        Question. Did the outdoor arena set allow for a real helicopter or did you get - bc/nc Jul 17, 09:20 1
        
        spotlight, I'm pretty sure - znufrii Jul 17, 09:23
  - #1 158.1M (Ave Gross is 3.95M per show, wow) -- nm - MDH Jul 17, 09:06 1
    - Worth every penny. -- nm - bc/nc Jul 17, 09:16
MDH from b2 -- You have a valid point - Fuzzy Jul 17, 09:02
What we need are The New Scouts. Boys, girls, white, black, gay, straight.... all together. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 17, 09:01 12
- there are alternative scouting organiztions out there... -- nm - znufrii Jul 17, 09:07 2
  - Spiral Scouts (pagan) -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 17, 13:31
  - Ironically, the Nazi Youth Corp! -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Jul 17, 09:11

  - This will probably be a long-ish response, so the board will likely have passed on before anyone ever sees this. - Fuzzy Jul 17, 09:24 4
    - No one's suggesting that the group is obsessing about it. but here's the thing: - Reagen Jul 17, 09:30
    - that's why I said it has no bearing on individual units. It's a volunteer run org. The professional side has little impact if any on the units. -- nm - CQ Jul 17, 09:29
    - [deleted] 1
      - this is the struggle I have working here lately. by doing so, I tacitly stand with the top. -- nm - amanda Jul 17, 09:30
  - Or why it is not changing fast enough, but agreed. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 17, 09:05
this is brilliant -- (link) - znufrii Jul 17, 09:01
Would not have expected this. Pollstar ranks the Durham Performing Arts Center as #1 theater in the US in ticket sales. -- (link) - bc/nc Jul 17, 08:58 1
- (attendance) Surprised the Nokia is that high on the list actually. -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 09:23
You want to grill up something awesome? I've made this twice now and it is fantastical. photo #4 paella - CQ Jul 17, 08:58 2

new song tuesday - No Doubt's " Settle Down" B -, Green Day's " Oh Love" A -- (link) - Epiphany Jul 17, 08:55 8
- Also, one of those is 25 cents here (as well as some others). -- (link) - The Dark Spawn Jul 17, 09:05 5
  - holy crap - that is a crazy song list - thanks for this. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 17, 09:17 4
    - Yeah, a lot of "huh?" there, but some gems as well if you do not already have them. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 17, 09:18 3
      - And the quote I read was right, that No Doubt sounds like a ska band in Fraggle Rock. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 17, 09:21 2
        
        I'm trying to stay positive - I really didn't like Rock Steady at 1st - Epiphany Jul 17, 09:40 1
        
        [deleted]
- I'm still iffy on the new Green Day. Catchy, but not up to their usual angsty-ness. They're getting soft in their old age! :) -- nm - miffed67 Jul 17, 09:00 1
  - LOL -- nm - Epiphany Jul 17, 09:01
Happy Birthday to one of my first known crushes, PJ Soles. - groiny Jul 17, 08:54 2

- say hi to capstern for me. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 17, 08:55
Remlik: thanks for that. My friend is apparently credited as story editor on Ben10. - loosilu Jul 17, 08:52 2
- well she hooked up with a good crew. -- nm - Remlik Jul 17, 08:53 1
  - not surprising at all. -- nm - loosilu Jul 17, 08:55
LYC: We're supposed to get our air conditioning unit wired up and running today. This will be heavenly -- nm - CQ Jul 17, 08:51
