Downfall has shipped. Never seen it before. -- nm - con_carne Jul 25, 09:02
LYC: I chuckled yesterday when I passed a road named "Buice Rd" - Strongbad Jul 25, 09:01
He hits Ichiro in the foot, Jeter, who dives into the plate, on the arm leading off the inning, and A-Rod on a 3-2 count and people think he meant it? - CQ Jul 25, 08:57 21
- I don't think he did it on purpose. Your control is so bad that you plug 3 guys you should be tossed. - Diva Jul 25, 09:08 2
  - If this were the case, every knuckleballer would be tossed in almost every game. silly -- nm - CQ Jul 25, 09:08 1
    - wrong cuz knuckleballers mostly just end up hitting their own catcher in the nuts over and over again. -- nm - Diva Jul 25, 09:12
- [deleted] 16
  - and several are not. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 25, 09:06 3
    - [deleted] 2
      - I would feel the same way even if it were Adam Dunn with a broken wrist. - groiny Jul 25, 09:10 1
        
        [deleted]
  - I doubt he did it on purpose. He still should have been ejected. -- nm - decline Jul 25, 09:06 11
    - that's ridiculous. there's no intentional malice. I watched the end of the game. It was clear to anyone watching -- nm - CQ Jul 25, 09:08 3
      - so had the game gone on longer and he was still in and he just kept hitting more guys it would have been okay? When is 'enough' enough CQ? When?? - Diva Jul 25, 09:11 2
        
        I seriously deny this heresay -- nm - CQ Jul 25, 09:13
        
        well, I would hope that a Yankee pitcher would have gone up and in on a Mariner at some point. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 25, 09:12
    - he there been a warning issued, I woudl agree 100%. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 25, 09:07 6
      - [deleted] 5
        
        because, in the umpires mind, he was not trying to hit and injure anybody. - groiny Jul 25, 09:10
        
        and there shouldn't have been a warning issued. -- nm - CQ Jul 25, 09:10 3
        
        in honestly, I have seen warnings issued for less. - groiny Jul 25, 09:11 2
        
        Oh I've seen warnings for nothing which I think is ridiculous. However, they should warn Padilla every time he takes the mound -- nm - CQ Jul 25, 09:14 1
        
        his scareboard photo makes him look like a drunken domestic abuser who is not nice to dogs. -- nm - Diva Jul 25, 09:17
- *kicks dirt, whistling* nm -- nm - groiny Jul 25, 08:58
It just took an hour to get a thing printed. Becuase the person I was relying on was dragging feet, I go to IT - Will Hunting Jul 25, 08:56
Cornbread: - prayformojo Jul 25, 08:55
I wanna tell Truman that i love him - eag Jul 25, 08:54 2
- you 2 will make a cute couple! nm -- nm - groiny Jul 25, 08:55 1
  - Whoa! - eag Jul 25, 08:56
It's go time. Poll: How many of the six Rocky movies have you seen? Which is your favorite? - prayformojo Jul 25, 08:52 51
- 3, IIRC. Second was the best. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 25, 09:12
- 2 - #1 and Rocky Balboa. I prefer RB. - kelly Jul 25, 09:11
- 3? I'm not sure - I liked the one with Mr. T and Drago -- nm - Epiphany Jul 25, 09:09
- all. 6 was surprisingly good. but probably 3 my fave -- nm - Beaker Jul 25, 09:06
- About four of them? Rocky 3, but I guess mostly because I saw it at the Cinerama Dome at an impressionable age. - con_carne Jul 25, 09:06
- 1-4, and I like 4 because I've watched it by far the most. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 25, 09:05
- I've seen 1, and parts of 3 and 4. I'll say 3 is my favourite, because it has Mr. T -- nm - Roger More Jul 25, 09:03 1
  - "I have one prediction, Pain!" nm -- nm - groiny Jul 25, 09:04
- All but Rocky Balboa and I think either 1 or 2 is my favorite. -- nm - Jim Jul 25, 09:01 3
  - If you've seen and enjoyed most of the others, it's definitely worth seeing Rocky Balboa. It's a nice bookend on the series. -- nm - pmb Jul 25, 09:02 2
    - the closing scene always gets me -- nm - prayformojo Jul 25, 09:04 1
      - Yeah, I always wonder how he managed to create #1 & 6...and still did #5 as well. - Will Hunting Jul 25, 09:05
- all, 2 & 3 where Bullwinkle dies and then comes back to life because of the Genesis planet -- nm - peglegpete Jul 25, 09:00
- all the way through? none -- nm - oblique Jul 25, 08:59
- All of them. And I'd rank them, 1,2,3,6 . . 4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5. -- nm - pmb Jul 25, 08:58
- I've seen the first five. The first is my favorite by a nose over the second one. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 08:56
- All 6, #1 -- #6 -- #4 -- #2 -- #3........................................... .........*getting hit by Mike Tyson* #5 -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 25, 08:56
- The first for sure, and I'm pretty sure the one with Dolph "I must break you" Lundgren. If I saw that one, I may well have seen ones in between. -- nm - mara Jul 25, 08:56
- [deleted]
- 4 and a half and 3 is my fav -- nm - eag Jul 25, 08:55
- none -- nm - znufrii Jul 25, 08:54 7
  - You've never seen a Rocky movie? - Krusty Jul 25, 08:59 6
    - [deleted]
    - I've never seen a lot of good movies. -- nm - znufrii Jul 25, 09:03 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        It is like he does not really care about where he lives! -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 25, 09:12
    - no unicorns. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 25, 09:00
    - This surprises you, though? -- nm - prayformojo Jul 25, 09:00
- all, and 3 is my favorite because Mr. T has some great one liners -- nm - CQ Jul 25, 08:54
- All of them, 4. -- nm - David Jul 25, 08:54 15
  - *Rocky 4 spoilers* - Strongbad Jul 25, 08:56 14
    - Not taking Rocky 4 seriously is the key to enjoying it. - David Jul 25, 08:59 11
      - If I had to pick a quintessential 80's movie, Rocky 4 is it. - Will Hunting Jul 25, 09:00 10
        
        but, but , but....Thunderlips! nm -- nm - groiny Jul 25, 09:01 9
        
        #4 has better montage music. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 25, 09:02 8
        
        (the song when Rocky is working out in Russia is lame) - Strongbad Jul 25, 09:03 2
        
        Hearts on Fire. (Yes, I'm Youtubing Rocky montages) -- nm - Roger More Jul 25, 09:09 1
        
        YES! UBER LAME! -- nm - Strongbad Jul 25, 09:12
        
        better than Eye of the Tiger??????? - groiny Jul 25, 09:02 4
        
        No easy way out is a pretty good ong -- nm - eag Jul 25, 09:04 1
        
        Song -- nm - eag Jul 25, 09:05
        
        Eye of the Tiger is a great song, but the other has like 3 or 4 montages that are quality. - Will Hunting Jul 25, 09:04 1
        
        Plus James Brown -- nm - eag Jul 25, 09:05
    - " !" " !" -- nm - CQ Jul 25, 08:58 1
      - that's cut and paste Russian for I fight to win. For me! For me! -- nm - CQ Jul 25, 08:59
- I saw 1, 3 and 4. I guess the first one is my favorite -- nm - amoxy Jul 25, 08:54
- all...the first is my favorite -- nm - ceregon Jul 25, 08:54
- I stopped at 4. - groiny Jul 25, 08:53
- none -- nm - spamlet Jul 25, 08:53
- 5 (all but last one), 3 -- nm - Strongbad Jul 25, 08:53
- two? i think. (the original and the one with Mr T.) -- nm - Andie Jul 25, 08:53
oh, hmm. possible leak of nude carly rae jepsen photos from a stolen laptop (RCMP investigating) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 08:51 7
- Uhm, there is video of her giving a BJ out there. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 25, 09:13
- My first thought when I heard about this was, isn't she a minor? - prayformojo Jul 25, 08:53 1
  - yeah, she is like 26 IIRC? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 25, 08:54
- and apparently there may be a second round of Scarjo pics out there too -- nm - decline Jul 25, 08:53
- keep me posted, please. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 25, 08:52
- shit. that is going to bring in all kinds of google traffic. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 08:52 1
  - ok, I half-fixed it. Heheh. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 08:53
Big local election scandal........ -- (link) - MojaveMeg Jul 25, 08:50 1
- Hmmmmm -- nm - Tracy Flick Jul 25, 08:51
so, sad. People, if there are signs saying it's not safe to swim. Believe them. -- (link) - Andie Jul 25, 08:50
So to sum up, Katherine Jackson is caretaker of Michael's children. Janet et all whisked her away from the children to Arizona because...? - Mop (199 lbs) Jul 25, 08:30 21
- THey want to separate her from the kids, declare her incompetent, and contest the will. -- nm - loosilu Jul 25, 08:33
- to sum up even more succinctly: who effing cares anymore? -- nm - znufrii Jul 25, 08:31 19
  - I am enthralled. I love celebrity gossip. SM even said the other day " I can't believe you read all that crap" - Epiphany Jul 25, 09:10
  - Sony music and The Beatles care -- nm - Remlik Jul 25, 08:37
  - I'm rarely into this kind of trashy gossip, but this stuff is too good. Paris and Janet had a slap fight! -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Jul 25, 08:37 14
    - I mean really. Kidnapping the grandmother, ambushing the kids, slap fight, Twitter fights, a bunch of professional leeches, - loosilu Jul 25, 08:40 13
      - I don't know that I'd call Janet Jackson a professional leech. -- nm - Jim Jul 25, 08:42 6
        
        But you can call her Miss Jackson if you're nasty. -- nm - mara Jul 25, 08:47
        
        agreed. I'm surprised she's on that side. -- nm - loosilu Jul 25, 08:43 4
        
        Well her career has pretty much died -- nm - eag Jul 25, 08:44 1
        
        but royalities have to be extreme for her - so I doubt she needs the money -- nm - Epiphany Jul 25, 09:12
        
        Janet being on that side is the only reason i actually wonder if maybe Mama Jackson really shouldn't have them. -- nm - Andie Jul 25, 08:43 1
        
        agreed. But then why contest the will? why not just the guardianship? -- nm - loosilu Jul 25, 08:44
      - *this* should be the new Dallas -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 08:41 5
        
        And the only sane ones are three minor kids with no guardian, who have all the money. -- nm - loosilu Jul 25, 08:42 4
        
        We hope they're sane, anyway. -- nm - mara Jul 25, 08:48 2
        
        Right. - Mel Profit Jul 25, 08:51 1
        
        she may be overindulged but this doesn't seem to be a case of being told no. - loosilu Jul 25, 08:54
        
        "So ... superheroes?" "Yup." "Yup." -- nm - Blanketman si Jul 25, 08:42
  - It's what, half a billion dollars? There's always someone to care. -- nm - Roger More Jul 25, 08:37
  - oh, this story will never get old. -- nm - loosilu Jul 25, 08:33
Dear Edwin Encarnacion: thank you for qualifying at 3b. - Other David Jul 25, 08:28

Chicago record store posts its list of 50 CDs their customers should never buy -- (link) - the human tater tot Jul 25, 08:27 1
- Do we look like a store that sells "I Just Called to Say I Love You"? Go to the mall! -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 25, 08:31
15 plot holes in TDKR according to slashfilm (spoilers) - ceregon Jul 25, 08:26 11
- I read another page and have stopped. They are just being nit picky with so many of those. "I did not like where that conversation took place." -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 25, 09:11
- (spoilers) - Inigo Jul 25, 08:45 2
  - spoils - The Dark Spawn Jul 25, 09:05
  - spoils - Shaun Jul 25, 08:56
- Most of those are not plot holes. More like gripes. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 25, 08:41 3
  - That's how linkbait works. The header rarely reflects the content. -- nm - David Jul 25, 08:55
  - Yeah, you tell them. "You wouldn't know a plot hole if you fell into one!" -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 08:41 1
    - "Kid, your face is a plot hole!" -- nm - prayformojo Jul 25, 08:43
- yeah, that about sums it up -- nm - oblique Jul 25, 08:37
- only 15? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 25, 08:28 1
  - i know, i'm drafting them an email about the 4 they missed -- nm - ceregon Jul 25, 08:29
boston.com Love Letters - She Wants Me to Pay. - Diva Jul 25, 08:22 26
- I don't think she's a gold digger and I don't think he's wrong to want her to chip in something on the trip. -- nm - Jim Jul 25, 08:41
- Who buys their girlfriend of 9 months a week long trip to Europe? - oblique Jul 25, 08:38 15
  - why not? -- nm - znufrii Jul 25, 08:46
  - i guess if i had the money, and a girlfriend, it would be fun. - tRuMaN Jul 25, 08:43 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - wtf? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 25, 08:45
  - A 1%'er -- nm - amoxy Jul 25, 08:42 5
    - I'll be spending a week in Europe in December, and I'm way below 1%. -- nm - loosilu Jul 25, 08:43 4
      - But you're not paying someone else's way. -- nm - mara Jul 25, 08:48 3
        
        i actually don't think it is that big a deal. plenty of people with disposable income would probably be happy to cover a trip for someone - Andie Jul 25, 08:49 1
        
        Me, neither, I'm just arguing with loosi. -- nm - mara Jul 25, 08:51
        
        fair enough, but that just raises it a couple of percentage points. - loosilu Jul 25, 08:49
  - why not? -- nm - loosilu Jul 25, 08:39 4
    - I guess it must be nice worying about whether or not to go on a week long trip to Europe -- nm - oblique Jul 25, 08:40 3
      - it's no different from a week anywhere else. -- nm - loosilu Jul 25, 08:41 2
        
        except they don't speak God's language there.. heathens. -- nm - colin Jul 25, 08:41 1
        
        *raised eyebrow* -- nm - The Pope Jul 25, 08:42
- Not a gold digger. this is really just about the plane ticket. -- nm - loosilu Jul 25, 08:36
- i don't see a problem. if it's not about money, then why make it about money? - colin Jul 25, 08:35
- you are off base - she's not a gold digger - Epiphany Jul 25, 08:28 3
  - see, i would never expect a man to pay for me like that. cultural difference. it sounds like where she is that is just the way things are. - Andie Jul 25, 08:38 2
    - *nods* he certainly can say no - but I hope he's not mad at her over it. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 25, 09:11
    - this -- nm - znufrii Jul 25, 08:41
