I tried kinda hard to get into Major Crimes, and it didn't work for me. At all. So I think it's a quick delete of the season pass - prayformojo Aug 16, 12:16

ST Poll: What is the last time you had spaghetti? Casserole? Meatloaf? -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 16, 12:08 15

- couple of days, years, years -- nm - zork Aug 16, 12:19
- three days, don't know, last night. -- nm - loosilu Aug 16, 12:18
- months ago, many years ago, at least a year or two -- nm - decline Aug 16, 12:15
- Spaghetti - Last year? Casserole, Jan of this year, meatloaf a month ago - amoxy Aug 16, 12:15
- a week, a month, a year -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 12:15
- spaghetti - the last time it was colder so about 2 months ago, casserole- last thanksgiving, meatloaf- over 7 years. -- nm - gLu Aug 16, 12:13
- about a month, about a month, 2 days ago -- nm - Beaker Aug 16, 12:12
- A year, 10 years, 4 months. -- nm - mara Aug 16, 12:12
- Weeks, months, months -- nm - ty97 Aug 16, 12:12

At last, the important political reporting on Paul Ryan we've been waiting for -- (link) - znufrii Aug 16, 12:05 4

In hypotheitcal cases, judges give lighter sentences to fictional defendants when told they have a genetic predisposition towards violence. -- (link) - znufrii Aug 16, 12:02 1

Everyone, I am proud to say that footage of ty97's Bar Mitzvah has been uploaded online -- (link) - MDH Aug 16, 11:47 [youtube] 1
- ah yes - thank you ST - I surfed hoping I could find a little smile - a chuckle - something to break up the afternoon - this is a gift :) -- nm - JenBro Aug 16, 11:57
So I saw Bourne Legacy yesterday. Sadly a weak offering. I didn't necessarily mind Jeremy Renner as a Treadstone Op but *spoils* - bc/nc Aug 16, 11:42
I guess I don't really buy that this election is 'all about' the appropriation of tax burden. But I'd be open to any poll numbers that say otherwise. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Aug 16, 11:42 1

- He'll gain some Conservatives and lose some liberals I'm sure. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 16, 12:25
- That's fickle business though. Hopefully they gain regulars out of it, since they probably lost some. -- nm - ty97 Aug 16, 11:50
- as soon as I read about him, I figured he'd probably get more business this way -- nm - zork Aug 16, 11:43
- Hopefully it continues to prosper into the 20th century -- nm - Strongbad Aug 16, 11:43
Funny tweet of the week: "A giant python was discovered in Florida. Spooky news for a state that derives half it's income from a giant mouse." -- (link) - GregW Aug 16, 11:30
Child day care now more expensive than college in most states... -- (link) - Don Homer Aug 16, 11:27 8
- *crosses having kids off the list of things to do* -- nm - znufrii Aug 16, 11:52 2
  - just the tip of the iceberg. Getting ready for "Back to School" is another money pit -- nm - Beaker Aug 16, 11:58
  - Well, it's for sure the #1 reason not to imo. We had *WAY* more disposable income before the monsters arrived. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 16, 11:55
- Yeah, just aftercare and beforecare for my 3 kids is about $900 a month for me. - Inigo Aug 16, 11:43 4
  - That is not that bad as aftercare for alone for Bub is about $300/month. -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 11:48
  - it's crazy. I'm paying $518.50 /week for two. And used to be even more, before Alex turned 2. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 16, 11:45 1
    - Wow, that's even higher. I paid $310 a week for all three this summer. - Inigo Aug 16, 11:48
  - holy smokes -- nm - prayformojo Aug 16, 11:45
~Crazy Days and Crazy Nights~ -- nm - Epiphany Aug 16, 11:24 67
- Today's other blind item. - loosilu Aug 16, 11:30 19
  - the commenters all seem to think it's (spoil) - loosilu Aug 16, 11:34 18
    - Seems lik ehe is home most of the time. Doing a couple shows in his area, but that is all. -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 11:36 17
      - who's another A list comedian with a celebrity wife? -- nm - loosilu Aug 16, 11:36 16
        
        if it's Billy Connolly, I'll have a go at his wife. -- nm - zork Aug 16, 12:04
        
        My guess is that the comedian and his wife got together while she was already married to someone else. - spamlet Aug 16, 11:52 1
        
        that really points to Seinfeld. -- nm - loosilu Aug 16, 11:59
        
        Tim Allen -- nm - zork Aug 16, 11:48
        
        Will Arnett and Steve Carrell come to mind. -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 11:41 11
        
        hmm. both of their wives are comedians. I would think Enty would have said that instead of just 'celebrity' -- nm - decline Aug 16, 11:43
        
        Judd Apatow. -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 11:41
        
        Ben Stiller -- nm - Beaker Aug 16, 11:41 8
        
        wouldn't they describe him as actor/comedian rather than just comedian? -- nm - zork Aug 16, 11:49 1
        
        Every guess we have had could be the same. -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 11:50
        
        this is a good guess -- nm - decline Aug 16, 11:46
        
        oooo I like this guess -- nm - Epiphany Aug 16, 11:46 4
        
        only if she has a history of cheating (which would make me sad as I like them together) -- nm - Beaker Aug 16, 11:47 3
        
        She's a totally underrated hottie. - spamlet Aug 16, 11:52 1
        
        word. Dodgeball has been on TV alot lately. -- nm - Beaker Aug 16, 11:57
        
        no scuttlebutt on either of them that I know about -- nm - Epiphany Aug 16, 11:48
- [deleted] 45
  - could it be Soundgarden? -- nm - zork Aug 16, 11:41 2
    - That might work. Is Jane's Addiction still together? -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 11:43 1
      - Definitely not Jane's Addiction. nm - Dignan Aug 16, 11:47
  - Van Halen? -- nm - zork Aug 16, 11:33 13
    - Was DLR married? (actually, I've always thought he is gay) -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 16, 11:41 12
      - he's long been rumored gay or at least bi. -- nm - loosilu Aug 16, 12:00 3
        
        Had never heard that rumor -- nm - amoxy Aug 16, 12:11 2
        
        ditto. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 16, 12:12 1
        
        I remember hearing it -- nm - zork Aug 16, 12:18
      - DLR would be the ultimate JackDawson of gays. - Spawn Aug 16, 11:42 7
        
        The juicy part of this is that we don't know how much time passed between the act and the showing of the film. - Fuzzy Aug 16, 11:47 6
        
        and didn't they just cancel the rest of their tour recently out of the blue? I'm going with VH - Epiphany Aug 16, 11:50 5
        
        Sorry, DLR has never been married. -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 11:51 4
        
        you're right - damn. it made sense til then! -- nm - Epiphany Aug 16, 11:52 3
        
        That and NOBODY would ever believe DLR was having quiet reflection. -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 11:53 2
        
        buwhaaa -- nm - Epiphany Aug 16, 11:59 1
        
        He may be the only human on earth that talks *more* than my son. -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 12:00
  - Yeah, it's clearly written to be Stapp. -- nm - spamlet Aug 16, 11:32 6
    - 99% sure it is Creed. -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 11:54
    - ALL IN!!! -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 11:33
    - private jet is throwing me - and arent' they still together? not broken up - again? -- nm - Epiphany Aug 16, 11:33 3
      - wiki thinks they're recording an album right now. and they jsut finished a short tour. -- nm - loosilu Aug 16, 11:35
      - [deleted] 1
        
        They got back together. -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 11:34
  - The whole "band is back together" shoots my theory. That sounds 100% like Axl. Could also be DLR and Halen. -- nm - Jim Aug 16, 11:31 2
    - band is back together but not as it was. maybe it is alter bridge. -- nm - coffee jones Aug 16, 11:35
    - but, the "pious" act? -- nm - loosilu Aug 16, 11:31
  - Motley Crew? Van Halen? Bon Jovi? Rolling Stones? - Epiphany Aug 16, 11:31 9
    - No way Crue. No way VH. Bon Jovi never really broke up. -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 11:32 8
      - The thing that keeps getting me is the "huge" part. None of these other bands, Creed included, were ever "huge", IMO. -- nm - Jim Aug 16, 11:34 7
        
        Creed was the ninth best-selling artist of the 2000's. Human Clay sold 10 million copies. nm - Dignan Aug 16, 12:01 1
        
        *shrugs* They flashed for a minute...and then were gone. Guess my definition of "bigger than life" is different than others. -- nm - Jim Aug 16, 12:10
        
        But they did have a series of hits and were pretty popular for a short while. I think they often exaggerate the significance of the people involved - pmb Aug 16, 11:49 3
        
        agreed - I think for titallation sake they have to over state - but...but - the private jet? Creed can't have private jet money - at the time Creed - Epiphany Aug 16, 11:51 2
        
        I think they were big enough for a private jet (maybe not for all trips). -- nm - loosilu Aug 16, 12:02 1
        
        hmmmm - hopefully they reveal it cause no one is going to care if Stapps feelings are hurt at this point -- nm - Epiphany Aug 16, 12:06
        
        yeah, Creed and Stapp are not that league -- nm - zork Aug 16, 11:36
  - that has to be who you mention. there's almost no other option. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 16, 11:29 3
    - [deleted] 2
      - hmmm that is interesting but a top known band? really? -- nm - Epiphany Aug 16, 11:37 1
        
        [deleted]
  - GnR? -- nm - amoxy Aug 16, 11:29 3
    - They never really go tback together, it is just the A man. -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 11:31 2
      - I think you are right - just A out there ready to not show up on time -- nm - Epiphany Aug 16, 11:32 1
        
        I saw him, and he was great. -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 11:33
- My Woman! -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 11:26
hooray, ML can read Salon again... -- (link) - znufrii Aug 16, 11:22 1

- I think the backlash is/will be misplaced. There will be a sense of him doing something wrong. There is already that sense. - Fuzzy Aug 16, 11:29 4
  - he's not simply a hapless dope paying all of his taxes he's required to. - Mel Profit Aug 16, 11:49
  - [deleted] 2
    - I agree with you in principle. Unfortunately the stupidity of the people is what they both have to pander to. - Fuzzy Aug 16, 11:35 1

- This is the crux of the conversation. -- nm - Other David Aug 16, 11:26
Ex Georgia and Marshall football coach Jim Donnan accused in $80 million Ponzi scheme... -- (link) - Don Homer Aug 16, 11:21 2

  - *shrugh* the article is dated today. Not sure how that makes me a mop. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 16, 11:26
The issue with Romney's taxes, for me, is that he insists that people like him should get a tax REDUCTION, but won't let us see what he is paying. - TWuG Aug 16, 11:21 1
- I don't care if he paid a lot of tax, a little tax, or no tax. Hell I hope that if I was that rich I could pay nothing too. - decline Aug 16, 11:27
I don't think I can post that tantrum video to my Facebook, with the (spoils?) - Dr.Vermin Aug 16, 11:13 3

  - Seemed like an SNL bit...really funny at first and then you're just wishing for it to end. -- nm - Jim Aug 16, 11:29
- Yeah, they lost me there. -- nm - spamlet Aug 16, 11:15
LYC: my amusement today is throwing nuclear bombs on a US map to see if I can correctly guess where the cities are without city names. - loosilu Aug 16, 11:11 9
- I wonder how close we'd be in this game if it were for cities in England. - zork Aug 16, 11:25 3
  - It's a tiny little island, how far off could we be? -- nm - Ender Aug 16, 11:27 1
    - if you're only lobbing a 10kt, you have to be pretty accurate. -- nm - loosilu Aug 16, 11:31
  - Coastal US cities are pretty easy. Landlocked much harder. -- nm - loosilu Aug 16, 11:26
- This is why Carnivore has ST on a special list. -- nm - TWuG Aug 16, 11:12 4
  - it was just Waco, nothing to get excited about. -- nm - loosilu Aug 16, 11:15 3
    - No one and I mean no one ever gets excited about Waco. -- nm - Epiphany Aug 16, 11:28 1
      - Take that back! -- nm - Scott Drew si Aug 16, 11:31
    - Yakko and the Warner sister: Dot -- nm - JD Aug 16, 11:25
