    - "What do *you* mean, 'you people'?" -- nm - Alpa Chino si Jan 30, 08:40
    - The Federal Gov't isn't "giving" money to anyone. They're loaning money to banks by buying preferred stock, if I understand this correctly. -- nm - Mop Jan 30, 08:39
    - [deleted] 3
      - Usually by having it paid back. You do understand the idea of a loan, right? It's not like "borrowing a nacho" from someone -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Jan 30, 08:39 2
        
        no it's nothing like borrowing a nacho. Someone will not want a used nacho back. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 08:40 1
        
        (... and I need some kind of caffeinated beverage, clearly) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 08:40
- I think I saw Ed Koch advocating something like "resume lending levels at the same levels prior to the crisis, or lose your bailout money" tactics. -- nm - Mop Jan 30, 08:36 1
  - GOP Prez would do the same no doubt. You just have to laugh at the whole idea of "Good bank bad bank" - Loyola Jan 30, 08:40
- I was really hoping that would an Onion link. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 30, 08:34
st poll: will you watch the superbowl and commercials, just the game, or just the commericals? will you dvr it to make your choice easier? -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 30, 08:28 16
- I do not watch. But there's an XKCD comic about stealing the cars of people who watch it "just for the commercials". :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 08:40
- Mostly for the commercials, although I'm beginning to lose interest. I really hate seeing those crappy GoDaddy ads every year. -- nm - Mop Jan 30, 08:37
- Meh. -- nm - con_carne Jan 30, 08:35
- I"ll pretty much watch it all, by which I mean sit in front of the TV eating for its duration.' -- nm - emoticripple Jan 30, 08:35
- Pregame, commercials, game and half-time show. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09!!! Jan 30, 08:34
- It's unlikely I'll watch either. -- nm - Subversive Jan 30, 08:34
- I'll be watching mainly for the commercials. I'll also watch the game as an opportunity to drink a few beers. -- nm - mara Jan 30, 08:33
- Watch the first half. Place some bets. Go to bed. -- nm - Loyola Jan 30, 08:31
- Watch the game but no US commercials this year thanks to emm effing CTV and the CRTC. -- nm - Shaun Jan 30, 08:29
- I'll watch the game, couldn't care less about the commercials though. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 30, 08:29
- Looks like we will be out selling GS cookies at a store during the game, will record it for commercials - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 30, 08:29
- This is still up in the air. Of course I am going to watch the Super Bowl, but Jacen is going to make it really tough. - TFox Jan 30, 08:29
- We'll probably watch the first half at my mom's house "live," then fast-forward though the second half at home. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 30, 08:29 2
  - (mostly just for the commercials. I could care less who's playing or wins.) -- nm - JaxSean Jan 30, 08:29 1
    - I know the Steelers are playing, but only because of a cow orker of my wife...otherwise no clue -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 30, 08:31
- I'll watch the game and the commercials and not remember any because of all the booze in my system -- nm - CQ Jan 30, 08:29
Canadians... want to check out our online contest? maybe win a custom made $1000 parka? -- (link) - Andie Jan 30, 08:27 10
- hey, you didn't email this to me directly *pouts* -- nm - zork Jan 30, 08:32 1
  - I think we're breaking your server... - zork Jan 30, 08:36
- Is this the parka that caused so much trouble last year with the winner? -- nm - Walt_Disney Jan 30, 08:31 1
  - My thoughts, too. After last year, you'd think they'd forego it this year. -- nm - Mop Jan 30, 08:38
- Wow I can enter daily. -- nm - Shaun Jan 30, 08:29 5
  - yes, yes you can. -- nm - Andie Jan 30, 08:29 4
    - I will attempt to do that! -- nm - Shaun Jan 30, 08:30 3
      - i *love* the prize. - Andie Jan 30, 08:31 2
        
        Remind me in the evenings. Can't watch the promo at work, but will otherwise enter. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 30, 09:00
        
        Hell yeah! That parka would kick ass. -- nm - Shaun Jan 30, 08:31
Who knew Bush was such a talented musician? -- (link) - Reagen Jan 30, 08:26 1
- I recently found out that one of his daughters plays the uke, because Bush 41 does. (Or did.) -- nm - mara Jan 30, 08:34

- Foot Locker was always over priced to me. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 30, 08:26
Wal-Mart wants the movie "Zack and Miri make a Porno" to be just "Zack and Miri"........ - Walt_Disney Jan 30, 08:23 21
- Considering that the commercials had switched to calling it that, should be no problem. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09!!! Jan 30, 08:36
- I wait for the woman who buys the movie thinking its a "romantic comedy" and is outraged when she realises what it is..... - Walt_Disney Jan 30, 08:29 1
  - She won't blame Walmart, she'll blame the film studio...Walmart is right behind Jesus and America in her mind - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 30, 08:32
- Thank you for looking out for us Walmart! Yeah! -- nm - Don Homer Jan 30, 08:29
- Zack & Miri Make a Pizza -- nm - The Papa John's Tie In Cover Jan 30, 08:28

    - Word. -- nm - Jim Jan 30, 08:38
  - Uber-silly. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 30, 08:34
  - incredible silly, and counterproductive. -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 08:33
  - Very silly. -- nm - Shaun Jan 30, 08:32
  - [deleted]
  - It's still silly. - JaxSean Jan 30, 08:28
  - No, it's still silly -- nm - con_carne Jan 30, 08:27
  - and that was silly too. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 30, 08:26
- How about "Zack and Miri Make A Pr0no"? -- nm - con_carne Jan 30, 08:25
- I bet Walmart gets it too. They're Walmart. -- nm - TFox Jan 30, 08:24 3
  - The company "complied with Wal-Mart's request and created new DVD covers for the retailer." -- nm - JaxSean Jan 30, 08:26 2
    - That's the only cover I've seen in any catalog or distributor. -- nm - Amy Jan 30, 08:30
    - *shrug* Way I see it, Walmart threw them a bone allowing them to change the cover. Walmart doesn't give two shits if they sell Zach and Miri or not. -- nm - TFox Jan 30, 08:28
This is an annoying thing. Somehow, through recruiters I think, one of our biggest clients has found out I'm looking for a job. - Subversive Jan 30, 08:16 4
- that's a huge breach of ethics, IMO. -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 08:22 2
  - Yeah, I'm pretty pissed off. I'm almost positive I know which recruiter it was. -- nm - Subversive Jan 30, 08:31
  - I would agree....its privledged info and not to be made public. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jan 30, 08:24
- Yes. Please pay me more :) -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Jan 30, 08:19

Hee. From Yahoo's 50 worst sports announcers list: - Reagen Jan 30, 08:06 29
- I still love Deion snaders for dumping a whole bottle of champagne over his head....twice. -- nm - CQ Jan 30, 08:22 3
  - I'm no McCarver fan (of his announcing at least) but I was a bit disappointed at the time that Deion was more consumed w/paying Tim - Diva Jan 30, 08:26 2
    - oh, their both a-holes, but I liked watching McCarver getting all whiney and angry. -- nm - CQ Jan 30, 08:28 1
      - yeah, that part was fun. -- nm - Diva Jan 30, 08:37
- Skip Bayless at 36 makes me sad. - Will Hunting Jan 30, 08:18 1
  - [deleted]
- I still do not get the hatey for Joe Buck or Bob Costas. nm - Jim Jan 30, 08:16 1
  - I'm not a fan of Buck and usually mute the tv rather than listen to him. Costas isn't much better. They both seem to like the sound of their own voice and don't really call a very good game. - Krusty Jan 30, 08:29
- where's Ahmad Rashad? -- nm - zork Jan 30, 08:13
- Where's Joe Buck on that list? -- nm - Shaun Jan 30, 08:10 2

    - I will never forget his idiocy in asking Aikman what size cleats were longer. What a maroon. -- nm - Shaun Jan 30, 08:13
- Where is Berman...I want to dance with his pelt. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 30, 08:10 13

    - How is John Madden not there? The guy who argued that footballs are more deflated in winter.... - TFox Jan 30, 08:20 2
      - He is. Read more closely! -- nm - Shaun Jan 30, 08:20 1
        
        I missed it, probably because I was in awe he fell out of the top 10. -- nm - TFox Jan 30, 08:22
    - No Bob Cole... -- nm - Shaun Jan 30, 08:15 3
      - I don't think they're aware we exist. -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 08:23 2
        
        I suppose. I did see Darren Pang on the list though. -- nm - Shaun Jan 30, 08:24 1
        
        probably because he also works for NBC. -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 08:28
    - I know I've mentioned this before but this is the man who said... - Mel Profit Jan 30, 08:14 3
      - still laugh every time I hear that -- nm - CQ Jan 30, 08:15 2
        
        talk about nearly destroying a really nice moment. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 30, 08:17 1
        
        I still remember tilting my head with a quizzical look. -- nm - CQ Jan 30, 08:18
    - Pretty solid list -- nm - budice Jan 30, 08:13
- (He's also somehow the 22nd best. Which is insane) -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 08:09 1
  - Ever so often, he gets it exactly right. The Diamondbacks hit in the 9th vs Rivera in the 01 Game 7.) - Will Hunting Jan 30, 08:23
- I'm surprised he'd only 8th. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 30, 08:07

THR: Run DMC movie greenlit -- (link) - con_carne Jan 30, 07:59 3
- Awesome. (But, must be noted, there is already an awesome movie starring Run DMC called "Tougher Than Leather".) -- nm - TFox Jan 30, 08:01 2
  - I believe that's the subtitle of this new movie as well. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 30, 08:04 1
    - yes - TFox Jan 30, 08:05
Name Withheld By Request: Agreed on Coachella, for "Big Acts" not impressed -- nm - MDH Jan 30, 07:58 11
- not impressed with McCartney? -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 08:01 10
  - That is an awesome lineup, but he's... OK -- nm - con_carne Jan 30, 08:16
  - No. Not a fan. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 30, 08:09
  - He does zilch for me. Way too beige. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 30, 08:06 6
    - I can understand that, but in terms of impressiveness, he's arguably the single most famous living composer on earth. -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 08:07 5
      - Yeah, that still doesn't do it for me. I look at that line up and wonder who they were programming it for. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 30, 08:10 2
        
        LA hipsters. Duh! -- nm - con_carne Jan 30, 08:12 1

      - songwriter, at least -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 08:08 1
        
        ok. -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 08:08
  - Some Individual Acts I'm impressed, but as a whole not too much - MDH Jan 30, 08:03

Well, not sure if anyone is interested, but I've started using CrashPlan for backing up my stuff. It works by doing backups to friends' computers - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Jan 30, 07:58 3
- LIR: did you see my link for pillow stuffing? This is what I would use for Jupiter. -- (link) - loosilu Jan 30, 07:59 2
  - yeah, thanks. He enjoys working with the markers so I think he'd go for that -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Jan 30, 08:04 1
    - I am trying to think whether it would be easier to do that before or after applying to styrofoam. - loosilu Jan 30, 08:05

Crap, Super Bowl throws a kink in the openers. hmmm. -- nm - ty97 Jan 30, 07:56 2
