I demand an end do that gross tinytalk right this instant! -- nm - Qale Jul 25, 14:53
Are heirloom tomatoes worth the buzz -- and the money? -- (link) - CovingtonCat Jul 25, 14:48 3
- Weird. I probably had my first one ever today on my Flip burger. -- (link) - JaxSean Jul 25, 14:57
- Well...since I grow them they're a lote cheaper. ;) -- nm - The liioulu with a capital t Jul 25, 14:53
- To me they aren't and I am a huge foodie. I still buy them now and then. - Bacon the Kook Jul 25, 14:52
hmm. 6:30 batman (regular screen), the next imax is 7:45. - tRuMaN Jul 25, 14:47
It's 3pm already, unreal day at work. Crazy humping. -- nm - budice Jul 25, 14:46
I just had to explain to a 16 year old what Trapper Keepers were - prayformojo Jul 25, 14:44 2
- "I don't want to wait, for my trapper keeper to be over!" -- nm - Eric Cartman Jul 25, 14:51
- They're little charms you wear to summon Trapper John nymphs, right? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 14:46
Joseph Addai released by Patriots -- (link) - Todd Manning Jul 25, 14:31 4
- they're making room for another TE. -- nm - Diva Jul 25, 14:32 3
  - I hear Jay Rimiersma is available. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 25, 14:53

What does Romney mean when he says about the Aurora shooter "it was illegal for him to have many of those things already"? -- (link) - mara Jul 25, 14:27 19
- random thought: i wonder if gun companies give money to democratic presidential nominees - tRuMaN Jul 25, 14:48
- It's an argument that we don't need new laws, just enforce the ones we have. - spamlet Jul 25, 14:47
- Or was Romney stating that Holmes bought all the weapons and ammo illegally? - amoxy Jul 25, 14:46 1
  - I'm not sure what he thought was illegal. I thought it was all legal and bought legally. -- nm - mara Jul 25, 14:48
- I think he means that the problem with guns in this country is that we don't enforce our existing gun laws - znufrii Jul 25, 14:37 5
  - But I wonder what he thinks was illegal in what the shooter had. -- nm - mara Jul 25, 14:39 4
    - From what's been said here, only one gun would have been illegal. The bomb stuff I don't know about. - The liioulu with a capital t Jul 25, 14:45 1
      - The semi-automatic would have been illegal if the assault weapons ban were still in effect, but it's not. -- nm - mara Jul 25, 14:49
    - Exactly the point here. There was no way using the current laws to stop this guy from doing what he did. -- nm - Bacon the Kook Jul 25, 14:43
    - *shrug* - znufrii Jul 25, 14:42
- Unless he is already passing judgement that Holmes was bat-s**t insane -- nm - amoxy Jul 25, 14:34 6
  - Hmm, I guess I'd be okay with laws restricting access to guns for people on any kind of psych drugs. -- nm - mara Jul 25, 14:36 5
    - I haven't been following, do we know his clinical history? - znufrii Jul 25, 14:44 2
      - Hmmm, now that I look, it was Vicodin I heard about. Painkillers aren't really psych drugs. -- (link) - mara Jul 25, 14:47
      - None so far. He's at the age when some types of problems just start to exhibit themselves. -- nm - The liioulu with a capital t Jul 25, 14:46
    - If we start taking away rights of people who are on medication, wouldn't that discourage sick people everywhere from getting the help they need? -- nm - con_carne Jul 25, 14:38 1
      - They don't need help if they've got their GUUUUNS -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 14:39
- probably confusing what state has what laws about 100 round mags. CO seems to be one of those states you can have full auto? terminator style mini-gun -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 25, 14:30
- Don't worry the NRA will explain it properly while warning about Obama taking away all gun rights. -- nm - The liioulu with a capital t Jul 25, 14:29
from the backboards, I would classify Road Warrior / Mad Max stuff borderline sci fi, definitely post-apocalyptic ... - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 25, 14:23 14
- Agreed. -- nm - miffed67 Jul 25, 14:36
- DUNE would be a great one to reboot with modern CGI -- nm - another BB reply Jul 25, 14:27 12
  - they have. twice on Syfy. -- nm - Remlik Jul 25, 14:33 3

      - I may have missed this one. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 25, 14:43 1
        
        I have the DVD's if you want to borrow..... -- nm - miffed67 Jul 25, 14:49
  - i mostly agree with you here ... my only reservation is that it's been redone a couple of times (not very well at that, in my opinion) .. - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 25, 14:29 7
    - This. -- nm - miffed67 Jul 25, 14:38
    - The first version was awful. -- nm - The liioulu with a capital t Jul 25, 14:32 3
      - do you mean the early 80s version? i kinda liked that one ... great cast -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 25, 14:37 2
        
        the extended cut is nuts -- nm - Remlik Jul 25, 14:45 1
        
        it *is* sort of lengthy and a get comfortable because it takes a while to get through sort of thing isn't it? -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 25, 14:47
    - would have to be a very expensive mini series cause there is a whole plot per page in the books -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 25, 14:31
    - The SciFi version wasn't bad. They were close. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 25, 14:30
Jaguars owner says MJD can suck it. No new contract for him -- (link) - Beaker Jul 25, 14:18 7
- Between this and bacon keeping DeMarco Murray, it's going to be a long BF season for me. -- nm - spamlet Jul 25, 14:20 6
  - Why is Bacon, a lower-class Vampirate keeping a RB going to impact you? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 25, 14:29 5
    - [deleted] 4
      - Rule #1: Do the opposite of Redmond. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 25, 14:54
      - this. I also have Murray. -- nm - spamlet Jul 25, 14:32 2
        
        You also want to get McFadden and Trent Richardson! -- nm - Bacon the Kook Jul 25, 14:33 1
        
        I don't have the #1 pick, so Richardson is not an issue for me. -- nm - spamlet Jul 25, 14:57
I get every Elephant, Mustard, Teddy Roosevelt or Dracula question wrong. -- nm - Tim Jul 25, 14:15 6
- I think I'm about half and half. It's one of my favorites. -- nm - mara Jul 25, 14:22
- worst sandwich EVER. -- nm - loosilu Jul 25, 14:18
- I think I got 1 or 2 so far. I love the category, but it's the one I miss the most - Guigue Jul 25, 14:16 3
  - I'm really good at "Snickerclish Restroom" -- nm - Qale Jul 25, 14:19 2
    - It's my second worst, but English not being my first language the common phrases don't come to me as easily -- nm - Guigue Jul 25, 14:23 1
      - It doesn't help that they're kind of meh on the concept of rhyme. -- nm - Qale Jul 25, 14:27
"The Marlins are the first team since the 1914 St. Louis Browns to steal at least seven bases in a game and score just once, according to the Elias" -- nm - David Jul 25, 14:14 3
- [deleted] 1
  - I give him a lot of credit for only allowing 1 run, given the overall atrocity of his performance. -- nm - David Jul 25, 14:29
- That should be a sign to Ozzie. They all wanna run away, but none wanna come back to the dugout. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 25, 14:16
YGM. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 25, 14:08 34

        You have to imagine that innocent, "blink......blink...." with that comment. LOL! -- nm - miffed67 Jul 25, 14:17 26
        
        innocent???? - groiny Jul 25, 14:17 25

        uh huh. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 25, 14:19 23
        
        If you buy that, I have some excellent real estate to sell you..... - miffed67 Jul 25, 14:20 22
        
        well, I am shy too! nm -- nm - groiny Jul 25, 14:20 21
        
        Yeah, right! - miffed67 Jul 25, 14:21 7
        
        pippy will tell you how shy I am. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 25, 14:21 6
        
        I'm sure Pippy can regale me with MANY groiny shyness stories. -- nm - miffed67 Jul 25, 14:22 5
        
        well, 1 or 2 at least. - groiny Jul 25, 14:23 4

        You are. You are a big pussycat - amoxy Jul 25, 14:21 12
        
        I'll leave you to at it, then..... - miffed67 Jul 25, 14:21 5

        There are things that happened in Vegas that I don't talk about -- nm - amoxy Jul 25, 14:31 1

remlik, you so need this carpet in your comic book store -- (link) - tRuMaN Jul 25, 14:04 [Image] 8 1
- "Has anyone seen TRON?" -- nm - Reagen Jul 25, 14:14
- It's like a quasi-futuristic golf course green. -- nm - David Jul 25, 14:10
- omg, I want that. -- nm - loosilu Jul 25, 14:10
- hurts my eyes -- nm - znufrii Jul 25, 14:10
- ugh. -- nm - Remlik Jul 25, 14:09
- *falls down, sues Remlik* nm -- nm - groiny Jul 25, 14:08 1
  - It should be in a bar. -- nm - loosilu Jul 25, 14:10

- Next time use the Post Office. - Under the Influence Jul 25, 14:09 1
  - nope, those bastards are thieves. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 25, 14:09
- I think they charge an extra $25 for a polite person -- nm - budice Jul 25, 14:05 1
  - they are just so incompetant. I send a cheque on monday for delivery yesterday. - Andie Jul 25, 14:16
WTF, Amazon. I *received* my shipment from DELL before Amazon even shipped. - spamlet Jul 25, 14:00 7
- [deleted]
- Poor spamlet. -- nm - The liioulu with a capital t Jul 25, 14:25
- That's because Amazon has switched their shipping to USPS. - Under the Influence Jul 25, 14:07
- So you *DO* have a time machine? (nm) - musubi Jul 25, 14:05
- Dude, you getting a Dell? -- nm - budice Jul 25, 14:05
- watcha order? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 25, 14:04 1
  - Refurb Dell desktop for Win7 DVR. - spamlet Jul 25, 14:05
Moon would probably be in my top five, at least. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 25, 13:58
My fave 3 sci-fi: Primer, Matrix and....Star Wars? - musubi Jul 25, 13:57 9
- I'd take Dark City over Matrix. -- nm - Qale Jul 25, 14:01 8
  - This is like taking a Yugo over a Ferrari. -- nm - David Jul 25, 14:03 7
    - The Matrix is damn fine. But admittedly has the controversial sequels weighing it down. Dark City only has like 3 minutes of cheese at the end. -- nm - Qale Jul 25, 14:09 6
      - Dark City is the world's perfect cure for insomnia. -- nm - David Jul 25, 14:10 5
        
        No, that's Prometheus. -- nm - Qale Jul 25, 14:10 4
        
        word -- nm - Jovian Jul 25, 14:26
        
        Wait for it... - David Jul 25, 14:12 2
        
        I guess I'll go spend that time reading BOP... oh wait, here's a recent post about Dark City from yesterday. -- nm - Qale Jul 25, 14:54 1
        
        Like he and I didn't have a discussion about that. - David Jul 25, 14:55
also, did anyone by chance ever read the TimeWars series by Simon Hawke - znufrii Jul 25, 13:56
Lincecum getting knocked around again. Giants only down 3-1 but it is the Padres - amoxy Jul 25, 13:54 6
- the line doesn't look *that* bad, relatively. - b. Jul 25, 13:57 2
  - It's now 5-1. I was listening to the game earlier and the announcers were saying his pitches were all over the place again - amoxy Jul 25, 14:19 1
    - oof, inconsitency is so crazy-making. -- nm - b. Jul 25, 14:30
- *Marge grumble* - Mel Profit Jul 25, 13:56 2
  - he's been excellent since the all-star break. it looked like he'd settled down, figured-out a motion issue. hopefully it's just a blip for now today. -- nm - b. Jul 25, 13:59
  - I don't know. he doesn't seem hurt, but his control and his speed is down -- nm - amoxy Jul 25, 13:57
You *must* watch Primer. Must. (nm) - musubi Jul 25, 13:54 6

- my brain still hurts from that. - znufrii Jul 25, 13:54 4
  - yeah I loved it. But I had to watch parts of it two or three times and then I still have to google it when the movie ended. -- nm - sycor Jul 25, 13:57 3
    - I find tvtropes to be incredibly helpful in situations like that - znufrii Jul 25, 13:58 2
