Breaking Bad spoiler - nubby Aug 12, 19:40
I'm sure it was on purpose (shocking for TNA) but having a guy call himself "the It Factor" leads to a very obvious crowd chant. - Tim Aug 12, 19:39
does the new beauty and the best tv show star kristen kruek? -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 12, 19:32 4
- yep -- nm - Remlik Aug 12, 19:35 3
  - ok, so its not going to be worth watching then -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 12, 19:37 2
    - well in a twist, she's the beast! -- nm - Remlik Aug 12, 19:39 1
      - Oh, so it's not a physical description, but one of her acting talent? -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 12, 19:42
This is one of the best tripadvisor reviews I've seen in a long time, though not very timely -- (link) - ty97 Aug 12, 19:30 1
- It was great *then*. It must be great now. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 12, 19:40
This rocks sucks! -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 19:20
I was just thinking a horror film right now would probably do quite well as it's been a while since one. The Possession looks to be the next one. -- nm - Qale Aug 12, 19:16 6
- Oh wait, it's actually The Apparition. -- nm - Qale Aug 12, 19:18 3
  - Ashley! -- nm - JD Aug 12, 19:32
  - That makes a bit more sense. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 19:19 1
    - Possession is Raimi's production house and is Lionsgate so probably more of draw. -- nm - Qale Aug 12, 19:20
- Hey, how'd the party end last -- nm - JenBro Aug 12, 19:18 1
  - I took benedryl at 2am and knocked myself out. -- nm - Qale Aug 12, 19:19
Now *that* is a train. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 19:14
Nice. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 19:10
Ah BRILLIANT to use this clip -- nm - JenBro Aug 12, 19:10
Walked around the Santa Fe plaza and had Mexican food for the third night in a row.... - MojaveMeg Aug 12, 19:10 1
- Mmmmm.....real Mexican food, too, I bet. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 12, 19:41
So, it seems Theon is a hot name in 2012 thanks to Game of Thrones. I'm thinking these are not parents who have read the books. -- (link) - TWuG Aug 12, 19:07 20
- Hasn't GRRM said to people "Wait until I finish the books" to child namers? -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 19:26 11
  - If nothing else, that his name is Theon should be reason enough not to use it. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 12, 19:29 7
    - Arya was also on the list. Jury is out on whether that will prove to be a bad choice. -- nm - TWuG Aug 12, 19:33 6
      - Last I saw, Arya was conning Ryan Lochte. -- nm - David Aug 12, 19:35 5
        
        I missed that. Last I saw she was trying to do something called the cinnamon challenge. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 12, 19:38 1
        
        Check Funny Or Die for a Patrick Stewart video. - David Aug 12, 19:40
        
        Is that a good thing or a bad thing? :-) -- nm - TWuG Aug 12, 19:37
        
        Hodor could con Ryan Lochte - prayformojo Aug 12, 19:37 1
        
        This is hysterical. -- nm - David Aug 12, 19:38
  - he actually intends to finish? hee -- nm - mud Aug 12, 19:28 1
    - "Did I say 7? I meant 12." -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 19:29
  - child namers don't care. they're like Honey Badger. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 19:27
- They'll probably all grow up to be little shits. -- nm - Roger More Aug 12, 19:21 4
  - Is there anyone who so perfectly encapsulates the meaning of the phrase "little shit" than Theon? nm - ralph wiggum Aug 12, 19:22 3
    - and that actor nails it too -- nm - mud Aug 12, 19:23 2
      - WHAT IS DEAD MAY NEVER DIE!!! -- nm - David Aug 12, 19:24 1
        
        [knocks you out] -- nm - mud Aug 12, 19:40
- that's an.....odd choice -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 19:08 2
  - RE B2 and The closer. Was pleased with that reveal. It worked well, IMO. -- nm - TWuG Aug 12, 19:12 1
    - i thought - prayformojo Aug 12, 19:19
LOL - spoils - JenBro Aug 12, 19:04
Prince Harry singing along with Eric Idle = sexy -- nm - Dano Aug 12, 19:04 7
- He looks like Syndrome! -- (link) - David Aug 12, 19:07 [Image] 3
  - You remember him but not Miss Tessmacher? - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 19:09 2
    - I love that you're having to praise Superman even to try this. - David Aug 12, 19:09 1
      - I don;t hate Superman because he is Superman. I hate that he squanders the chance he has. - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 19:13
- Prince Hottie doing anything = sexy. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 19:04 2
  - Like using Propecia? -- nm - The Bieb Aug 12, 19:06 1
    - I think you're thinking of Will. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 19:14
ELO performing live would have been *awesome*. - kelly Aug 12, 19:03
Awesome. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 19:02
Noel and Liam Gallagher are going to be the basis of a phenomenal biopic someday. - David Aug 12, 19:01 5
- they *hate* each other. Glad I saw them a few years ago. great show. -- nm - Remlik Aug 12, 19:05 3
  - I simply cannot imagine that level of antipathy toward an immediate family member. -- nm - David Aug 12, 19:06 2
    - Liam was always a pratt. There were times during the 90's when during a show he'd just quit singing... - Remlik Aug 12, 19:15 1
      - this. he's an asshole. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 19:18
- re: your IM. because they are enormous douchebags. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 19:03
Everytime I see a Hunger Games commercial, I realize how more and more how bad it was. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 18:59 4
- My brother: "I liked The Avengers but The Hunger Games blew it away." -- nm - David Aug 12, 19:02 1
  - Clearly, he got the looks. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 19:03
- everytime i see you post, i wonder more and more why they ever promoted you up from c lister. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 12, 19:01 1
  - Belated congrats on the promotion Spawn, sorry I missed it! -- nm - ty97 Aug 12, 19:03

  - Your IM nails it. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 18:59
hmm, when did i suddenly become old. - tRuMaN Aug 12, 18:49 8
- One of my co-workers, describing the closing ceremonies: "And then you know that guy who sang that song 'Always Look on the Bright Side'?...." nm - ralph wiggum Aug 12, 19:20
- Around the same time Baby Spice entered her late 30s. -- nm - David Aug 12, 19:03
- You got old when you started getting up at 6am on Sunday. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 18:56 5

  - hmm, i can explain that. i was having this dream, and in the dream, someone rang the doorbell - tRuMaN Aug 12, 18:58 3
    - It was your cat getting back at you for moving your arm :) -- nm - JenBro Aug 12, 19:07
    - A young man goes back to bed, though. - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 19:01 1
      - yeah, doesnt happen for me, once i wake up, i am awake - tRuMaN Aug 12, 19:04
tomorrow at work I have to do this horrible thing we only have to do once a year. I have to shuffle credits. (nobody cares) - amanda Aug 12, 18:47
Where would one get a giant illumitated inflatable octopus? - Cuzzin Todd Aug 12, 18:46 5
- Japan? -- nm - Qale Aug 12, 18:52

- I thought you were kidding until my FB friend Marian posted about it. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 18:49

- I can fix you up. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 18:47
When does Poison Ivy stop singing and start enslaving London? -- nm - David Aug 12, 18:46 1
- I like that the british version is a brunette. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 18:46
The Roast of Roseanne is coming up, but since it'll be on at 10, it'll be heavily edited and likely no fun. -- nm - Qale Aug 12, 18:41 2
- So, they won't show her eating all the participants? -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 18:43 1
  - Gotta wait for it to hit the Secret Stash one Saturday night / Sunday morning 1am. -- nm - Qale Aug 12, 18:46
ST Fact Check: My roommate says he saw/read something about half of Brooklyn being built on a nuclear wate dump... - ty97 Aug 12, 18:39 6
- He may be talking about this -- (link) - Roger More Aug 12, 18:43 1
  - that is interesting. I never heard of it before. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 18:45
- I think he might be taking the name of the Manhattan Project a mite literally. - Reagen Aug 12, 18:42
- there was a nuclear waste dump in the 19th century? -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 18:40 2
  - and as for no one wanting to move to Brooklyn, on its own it was easily in the top ten US cities in population. - loosi at home Aug 12, 18:41
  - Nuclear Punk! -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 18:41
The Nationals really have the best record in baseball? -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 18:39 1
- that's a sign ... that it's time to open the box. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 18:39
Niiiice (FBS) -- nm - JenBro Aug 12, 18:38
So the NBC ratings have been great I think? Which confirms the same exact approach in 2016? - ty97 Aug 12, 18:37 24
- tape delay was explicitly in their bid for the next few olympics, so yeah. -- nm - mafic Aug 12, 19:35
- The current belief is that 210 million Americans have watched at least a portion of this Olympics. - David Aug 12, 18:45 13
  - Does that include cable, or just network? - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 12, 19:04 1
    - Since they're all NBC properties, I presume it's everything. -- nm - David Aug 12, 19:05
  - Even though I was completely disinterested, I still ended up watching some coverage at the bar. -- nm - Qale Aug 12, 18:56 1
    - In other words, swimmers? -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 18:57
  - Yes and no on Rio. If the event happens at 3pm, NBC is likely to tape delay it. - ty97 Aug 12, 18:55
  - Sochi should have a lot of overnight live events on NBC's subsidiary channels -- nm - peglegpete Aug 12, 18:53
  - there was literally nothing else going on this summer in the news or on TV, which may have helped. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 18:50
  - That people are enthusiastically getting behind NBC's coverage strategy, I can only attribute to Stockholm Syndrome. -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 18:50 4
    - sometimes you're so humorously apt. -- nm - amanda Aug 12, 18:52
    - Everyone I know was completely mystified by the one hour WW2 documentary last night. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 18:51 2
      - the second or third busiest day, and the use an hour for a history lesson non-Olympic related -- nm - peglegpete Aug 12, 18:55 1
        
        It's not as if anything HAPPENED in competition yesterday! -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 19:04
  - Yeah, the Winter Olympics will be a nightmare for network coverage. You will barely get anything live at all, let alone in prime time. - Tim Aug 12, 18:47
- Though it's only a one hour time delay instead of five, I think. - Tim Aug 12, 18:40 5
  - The only way you get live coverage of marquis events from Brazil is if they actually happen in primetime - ty97 Aug 12, 18:48 2
    - Sadism is an Olympic sport now? -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 18:49 1
      - *spit take* -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 18:51
  - They tape delayed *Atlanta* -- nm - ty97 Aug 12, 18:43
  - that would make it 2:42 am in London right now. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 18:42
- exactly -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 18:39
- it's not like people had another choice -- nm - zork Aug 12, 18:39 1
  - Refusing to watch is a choice. -- nm - ty97 Aug 12, 18:40
Okay, here we go. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 18:36 1
- SHUT. UP. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 18:37
heh -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 18:33
Anyone else get the feeling Seacrest is NBC's next Costas? - CovingtonCat on Fire Aug 12, 18:31 14
- not while Mary Cirillo is there -- nm - peglegpete Aug 12, 18:43
- nah, he only does the "social" stuff. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 18:37
- He's too busy being ABC's next Dick Clark and radio's next Casey Kasem. - ty97 Aug 12, 18:36 5
  - He is a douche, but he's good at hosting live TV. not a lot of people can do it. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 18:38 4
    - Loads of people can do that. Few are given the chance. -- nm - ty97 Aug 12, 18:38 3
      - I really don't think that's how it works. :) -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 18:40 2
        
        You know who could do it? - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 18:54 1
        
        oof. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 19:22
- Clearly a knowledge of sports is not required, so why not? -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 18:33
- He lacks the knowledge of sports to be a serious consideration. - David Aug 12, 18:33 4
  - I think they use him to replace Costas for the ceremonial stuff. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 12, 18:44 1
    - It seems like Ryan was sent out into the field, and Costas stayed 100% in the studio? I didn't keep track. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 18:46
  - Costas ain't going anywhere anytime soon when it comes to the Olympics. Seacrest will take over Today when Lauer calls it a day. -- nm - Remlik Aug 12, 18:35
  - and is too busy producing the Kardashian show -- nm - zork Aug 12, 18:35
More!!! -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 18:27
I'm liking this. *shrug* - kelly Aug 12, 18:27 5
- loved it -- nm - Beaker Aug 12, 18:44
- A lot of the live is gold. Annie *killed* it. - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 18:28 3
  - re: IM, mrs. zork said he's told for that outfit - zork Aug 12, 18:31
  - she was great. but she always/is. -- nm - Remlik Aug 12, 18:30 1
    - For sure. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 12, 18:31
