Sorry, but this part of the Hotel Transylvania trailer always cracks me up -- (link) - prayformojo Aug 24, 07:25 [youtube] 3
- agreed -- nm - JenBro Aug 24, 09:26
- Me too. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 24, 07:27 1
  - (Like, I knew exactly what it was going to be because I like that bit so much.) -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 24, 07:28
Maybe she didn't have dirt on him after all? Katie will get $400K a year child support, no alimony. -- (link) - loosilu Aug 24, 07:13 32
- she gets that $15mill lump sum too. it's not like she's eating KD. -- nm - amanda Aug 24, 07:23 6
  - did we ever get confirmation of that amount? -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:26 1
    - no: Sources familiar with documents filed with the court tell TMZ ... Katie got no lump sum payout, which is consistent with the prenup which essentia -- (link) - amanda Aug 24, 07:27
  - I'd never ever ever have known what KD is if it weren't for ST -- nm - prayformojo Aug 24, 07:26 1
    - I still don't know. -- nm - spamlet Aug 24, 07:29
  - ah. -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 07:25 1
    - I correct above. tmz refutes. KD it is. -- nm - amanda Aug 24, 07:28
- ONLY 400K????? - groiny Aug 24, 07:19 19
  - based on his income, that's not much. And she won't be getting $500 haircuts any more. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:21 6
    - I have no idea how to raise a child on 33K a month. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 07:25 5
      - You might have to live on Top Raman that final week befoe the next months check comes in. -- nm - Bacon Aug 24, 07:26
      - and he's paying her education and medical expenses. so like, she's buying clothes and food? - amanda Aug 24, 07:26 2
        
        I was thinking nannies would be out of child support. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:27
        
        it is absurd. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 07:26
      - oh I agree it's lavish, but I guarantee they have been spending more than that on her up to now. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:26
  - Dude, she'll be scraping by on $33,000/month -- nm - decline Aug 24, 07:21 9
    - i know that seems like a lot, but she has staff, and housing, and nannies. when you are paying for other people in addition to yourself, that's not - Andie Aug 24, 07:25 8
      - Nannies for super rich people make insane salaries. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:27
      - I would assume TC would pay for nannies and security for her. no? -- nm - amanda Aug 24, 07:26 2
        
        would he? i don't know. because if he as paying they'd be his people, right? his Scientology people. And i'm thinking she doesn't allow that. - Andie Aug 24, 07:28 1
        
        she fired his people. I think she pays for nannies and security herself now. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:28
      - it is insane. I will take care of her kid for her for 5k a month. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 07:26 3
        
        oh, for real people for sure. for Tom Cruise's kid, not so much. -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 07:27 2
        
        therin lies the problem. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 07:27 1
        
        they don't live like regular people though. Have you ever seen video of the paps attacking them? it's horrifying. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:28
  - Juice boxes are expensive, yo! -- nm - oblique Aug 24, 07:20 1
    - I totally read this in a Jesse Pinkman voice. -- nm - nubby Aug 24, 07:22
- I expect she gave up the alimony in exchange for custody -- nm - decline Aug 24, 07:18 4
  - she was pre-nupped in the state of California, she wasn't going to get anything anyway. -- nm - Remlik Aug 24, 07:23 1
    - yep, she would have had to be married for 10 years to get half. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:25
  - yep, she's no gold digger. she wanted to get her daughter out of there. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:22
  - this is what i think, that's why it went so fast. -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 07:19
Daily Mail (yeah I know) says 10 were shot at the Empire State. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:12 4
- breaking says 2 killed, 8 wounded. -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 07:18 1
  - Yup. I believe one of the two killed is the gunman. The news is coming in pieces since the NYPD has the two blocks around the building locked down. -- nm - Krusty Aug 24, 07:19
- so does Krusty. -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 07:13 1
  - I trust him better. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:13
STIF - skyping from a phone to a home computer, easy? hard? free? - Andie Aug 24, 06:47 26
- free and easy. and if you have a front camera on your phone you can video chat -- nm - decline Aug 24, 06:59
- Free and easy. - spamlet Aug 24, 06:51 24
  - it is that straightforward then? *awesome*. i was sure there was going to be something that would make it harder. -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 06:51 23
    - Nope, it's like IMing. - spamlet Aug 24, 06:53 22
      - ah, what about video? we actually want video. - Andie Aug 24, 06:54 21
        
        I'd suggest seeing if the church has an internet connection and maybe even a wired connection you could hook a laptop to - oblique Aug 24, 06:59 13
        
        yeah, we are getting married in a garden behind a brewery. :) -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 07:00 12
        
        Any chance the brewery has Internet you could use? I'd really suggest a laptop with webcam (they're not that expensive if you don't have one) - oblique Aug 24, 07:04 7
        
        and if there is no internet you could always get a wifi card from one of the cell companies -- nm - decline Aug 24, 07:07 2
        
        heck, with the return policies on some of the carriers you could probably even buy it, use it, then take it back -- nm - oblique Aug 24, 07:09 1
        
        well, we have different carriers then you, but it might be being done from an american phone, so that could work. -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 07:10
        
        i think a power source might be a problem, but i'll check. -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 07:06 3
        
        also, consider that if you're interested in her hearing the event, you're going to need something to pick up your voices in some way. Are you using - oblique Aug 24, 07:08 2
        
        no, we aren't and we can't. no amplification allowed. - Andie Aug 24, 07:09 1
        
        of course. If you were only concerned about sound for your relative, you could very well also have your man wearing a lapel mic (very inconspicous on - oblique Aug 24, 07:13
        
        Steam Whistle??? * - Shaun Aug 24, 07:02 3
        
        nope! - Andie Aug 24, 07:04 2
        
        The site says they have Free Wifi. You would have to see what kind of signal strength you get in the garden though -- nm - decline Aug 24, 07:11 1
        
        i'll be there Wednesday, will do! -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 07:12
        
        You'll probably need wifi to do video. - spamlet Aug 24, 06:56 6
        
        unless you have an unlimited data plan, 3g could get really expensive -- nm - decline Aug 24, 07:02
        
        ah, can't do it at work, but wifi will work there, thanks so much for the help! -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 06:58 4
        
        definitely do a test run a week or so before just to make sure -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 07:00 2
        
        thanks everyone. this is great. -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 07:02 1
        
        heck, if the place has wifi you can use any phone/tablet/laptop to stream the video to her with skype -- nm - decline Aug 24, 07:03
        
        Not a problem. Hope you can get it working!' -- nm - spamlet Aug 24, 07:00
posted? murdoch prints prince nudes. -- (link) - amanda Aug 24, 06:40 1
- as well they should. I mean, the English have the internet so it is not like they wouldn't see them anyway -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 06:47
Boston woman and her son rescued from subway tracks by bystanders after trying to board a northbound train from the southbound platform. -- (link) - znufrii Aug 24, 06:36 1
- bizarre. It only would've been weirder if she had been texting at the time -- nm - oblique Aug 24, 07:11

      - was it Derek Jeter? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 07:13 5
        
        Seriously? -- nm - Krusty Aug 24, 07:14 4
        
        bad joke based on yesterday, sorry. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 07:14 3
        
        Swing and a miss. :-) - Krusty Aug 24, 07:16 2
        
        I need more PED's. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 07:16 1
        
        I hear Jeter could probably hook you up. Or at least get you in touch with a guy. -- nm - Jim Aug 24, 07:18
      - this is very bad. -- nm - Epiphany Aug 24, 07:12
      - awful. -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 07:10 1
        
        Yeah. :-( Reports on the radio are it was a workplace attack from someone that was recently fired/let go. Again, just a rumor I heard on CBS radio -- nm - Krusty Aug 24, 07:13
    - eesh. -- nm - znufrii Aug 24, 06:36

Mop, what the heck are you talking about on B2? You want girls and I get them for you? - amoxy Aug 24, 06:20
Flu vaccine season is here. I got one of the new intradermal shots and it hurt way more than the regular shot i've had before. - Tim Aug 24, 06:20 4
- what's the recipe this year? same as last? -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:11
- What's the (supposed) advantage to those? -- nm - spamlet Aug 24, 06:51 1
  - We've been trying to figure that out. -- nm - Tim Aug 24, 07:23
- I got one of those last year. I'll be getting the needle this year. -- nm - CovingtonCat on Mobile Aug 24, 06:22
Spawn, since you're not on Facebook you should know that Amy does not like BDSM - oblique Aug 24, 06:20 4
- relatedly: that "WERN!" picture is awesome. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 24, 06:22 3
  - I cracked the hell up when I saw it. It really was a great bit. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 24, 07:04

- what's wrong with a halter top? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 24, 12:59
- oodles and oodles - you are so going to rock that dress! -- nm - Epiphany Aug 24, 07:17
- It'll be fine. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 24, 06:57
- My mom could get it done in a night. You're fine. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 24, 06:15 4
  - aside: you were Devolution in Caveman correct? Could you check the list below and post the other owners if you know - Beaker Aug 24, 06:19 2
    - Yes. I am. David and I will get the draft order posted, so you really don't have to worry about that. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 24, 06:24 1
      - well here it is :) (was bored at work) - Beaker Aug 24, 06:28
  - yeah, i figured, i don't actually *see* her again till next Wednesday, and I know she's busy, but it seems like - Andie Aug 24, 06:18
- should be fine. -- nm - znufrii Aug 24, 06:02
- Yeah, I think so. -- nm - kelly Aug 24, 06:01
- one perhaps silver lining? at least you know for sure what the "drama" of your event is ... it's the dress ... clearly. -- nm - JenBro Aug 24, 05:59 1
  - actually, there is way more serious stuff happening, but, this is the most *entertaining* drama. -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 06:05
- More than enough time, and it's gonna turn out perfectly -- nm - prayformojo Aug 24, 05:59
- Maybe I'm behind, but what's this fabric for? What's she making in 23 days? -- nm - Jim Aug 24, 05:59 4
  - extra fabric so that i can, you know, zip up my dress. -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 06:06 1
    - Hmmm...I think the wedding would be much more exciting for the guests if you can't zip up the dress. Just a thought. :) -- nm - Jim Aug 24, 06:19
  - Andie has ribs apparently and the dress needs to accommodate them - oblique Aug 24, 06:01 1
    - see? this is a learning moment for us all! -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 06:06
- for a normal seamstress, yes - oblique Aug 24, 05:58
Mop, the NDP has said they're going to field a provincial party in the next QC election - Reagen Aug 24, 05:53
Caveman final standings (could someone fill in the owners as I'm not sure of them all, thanks) - Beaker Aug 24, 05:48 19
- Updated draft list for Caveman - Beaker Aug 24, 06:29 2
  - I don't think that's right... - Stephen Aug 24, 07:14
  - and at least 2 trades so far, that are not reflected -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 06:30
- AP Mountaineers is Brian. (He doesn't post a lot here, only occasionally.) -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 24, 06:26
- Bow Ties are cool was me -- nm - amoxy Aug 24, 06:02 1
  - figured and I think Chupacabra is Don Homer -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 06:07
- and also the draft order goes 1st round - 12-1, 2nd round+ - 12-1 and then snake correct -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 05:51 12
  - Yes, and make sure you're using the correct standings - Strongbad Aug 24, 06:02 10
    - I'm sure the Cavemen will screw it up in new and interesting ways -- nm - oblique Aug 24, 06:05 1
      - I'm doing it so in this there is no doubt :) -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 06:06
    - ahh, ok, I took it from the rankings on the League page, so that could be wrong then as we had a ton of upsets in the playoffs. -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 06:04 7
      - Yeah the rankings listed on your homepage from last year are never right. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 24, 06:06 5
        
        it switched the 5-8 picks around (due to the #1 and #2 seeds losing in the first round games), the rest were ok. -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 06:17 4
        
        Someone in Vampirates (who will remain nameless) has benched his team in the Consolation games - Strongbad Aug 24, 06:22 3
        
        I freely admit that once I lose, I stop playing (unless it's checking the waiver wire for a possible keeper) - Will Hunting Aug 24, 06:24 2
        
        I like to win whenever I can as it helps my Yahoo fantasy profile :) -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 06:28
        
        I do the same. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 24, 06:26
      - so the above list is final standings, BUT NOT the official draft standings. I will redo once I fill out the names -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 06:06
  - Correct -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Aug 24, 05:58

LIR: Armstrong. I haven't kept up on the proceedings but if even some of what Armstrong said in his letter are true - oblique Aug 24, 05:41 11
- That's kinda what I'm thinking. I mean, sure...if it didn't happen, you should fight it. - Jim Aug 24, 05:43 10
  - How easily would you give up the crowning achievement of your life? -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 05:50 9
    - at some point i would. really., -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 05:54 8
      - Ayup. 13 years...for 13 years he's been fighting and having his life disrupted over it. - Jim Aug 24, 05:56 1
        
        I agree with this, and also, they should be investigating *everyone* just as thorooughly. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:15
      - i'm a stubborn MFer. -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 05:55 5
        
        ditto. and he's got the time. - Mel Profit Aug 24, 06:58
        
        ditto -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 06:01
        
        I'm going to guess that someone who beat cancer knows all about a fight and might sort of relish it. -- nm - kelly Aug 24, 05:58 2
        
        alternatively, they might decide 'life is too short for this crap. fuck it, i'm dropping it and enjoying myself again,' -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 06:14 1
        
        What if he just found out his cancer came back? There'd probably be a lance-shaped dust cloud. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 07:05
