        it was an established Sci-Fi cliche admittedly. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 24, 08:04 1
        
        I at 1st thought they meant to go in the direction of *spoils* - Epiphany Aug 24, 08:06

- It's all weekend with code MLB100 -- nm - spamlet Aug 24, 07:46 4
  - They've done it here all season with the Yankees. If they score six or more runs it's half off the next day. Not sure if they're doing that with all - Krusty Aug 24, 07:49 3
    - no, we get reduced price drinks at a local gas station for six runs. -- nm - spamlet Aug 24, 07:50 2
      - Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 24, 07:53 1
        
        Do you get the lame "six is a serious number" ads? -- nm - spamlet Aug 24, 08:05
I really hate when I have to document stupid things. - spamlet Aug 24, 07:36

speaking of TMZ, last night at zeno's, we got suckered into trivia. the first category was all "things on TMZ this week." obvs we kicked ass. - amanda Aug 24, 07:33 9
- whenever i do trivia i get categories loke "golfers of the 70's" or "birds of New Mexico". - Andie Aug 24, 07:38 6
  - we had *no* sports people* last night so almost quit after round one, but stuck it out. - nm - amanda Aug 24, 07:43
  - Yeah, trivia nights are fun locally until they get to the eventual sports questions and it's always "who was the backup 3B on the 1972 Cardinals?" - spamlet Aug 24, 07:42 3
    - Don't forget the inevitable local trivia. "What was the name of that store on that corner 30 years ago. The one with the stuff?" -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 24, 07:59
    - Fine, I'll be your sports lifeline too. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 24, 07:43 1
      - Luckily, we usually have one local on the team for just these questions. -- nm - spamlet Aug 24, 07:49
  - I would be a viking at "golfers of the 70s" -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 24, 07:40
- Paul Brown -- legendary NFL coach in the 50's. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 24, 07:33 1
  - my side. *MY* side! -- nm - amanda Aug 24, 07:34
Have we been keeping up with 90 Days, 90 Reasons? Essays by people of note on why they're voting Obama. -- (link) - nubby Aug 24, 07:32 2
- [deleted]
- Be on the look out for mine, Two Days, Two Reasons (But Actually the Same Reason, Twice). -- nm - Mitt Aug 24, 07:45
Ok. Who's fault is this? I'm getting a David Hasselhoff album in the side bar advertising. -- nm - pmb Aug 24, 07:32 1
- It's better (albeit slightly) than the creepy horsehead mask. -- nm - spamlet Aug 24, 07:32
Report I just heard is that the shooting is near and not in the Empire State Building. It was a worker that was fired yesterday that - Krusty Aug 24, 07:32
_I_ say "Blah blah blah." -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 24, 07:31
the pap comes with the territory, when you get 33k a month to wipe a kids ass. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 07:29 76
- In all honesty, a part of child support is so the kid does not end up feeling like they are living with the "wrong" parent. - Spawn Aug 24, 07:53 13
  - I have three friends with kids who are going through divorces right now and this is the worst part, they say -- - amanda Aug 24, 07:57 4
    - I have been through it. But in my case I was also aware that my father was not even paying my mother what he was supposed to. - Spawn Aug 24, 08:00 2
      - my mom gave my dad $50 in child support *once.* we never really knew. he always covered for her. - amanda Aug 24, 08:03 1
        
        My mom worked three (and even for a while four) jobs. We had next to nothing for many years. - Spawn Aug 24, 08:06
    - My gf deals with this all the time. Her ex is a Cardiologist -- nm - decline Aug 24, 07:58
  - well, then it is still an epic fail then. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 07:54 7
    - I guess I don't follow what you are saying, then. -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 07:56
    - ? really? what if your kids spent half their time with some super rich relative who gave them everything - Andie Aug 24, 07:55 5
      - that is going to happen regardless, don't you think? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 07:56 4
        
        Yes, but Katie will also buy her nice stuff, take her places, etc. -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 07:57 3
        
        no where near what dad can do though. - groiny Aug 24, 07:59 2
        
        Well, I have a feeling Katie will be consistently there for her, where Tommy Girl will not be. -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 08:03
        
        they didn't go to court at all. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 08:02
- i bet her rent costs $10,000. -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 07:31 61
  - double it, I think. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:35 3
    - this is how you know when someone has too much money. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 07:36 2
      - I have no doubt that when Tommy gets visitation he will buy Suri all kinds of ridiculous shit. He's already started. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:37 1
        
        I would imagine he'll pay for like horseback riding and ice skating and such as well. -- nm - amanda Aug 24, 07:49
  - I thought she just bought that place. -- nm - amanda Aug 24, 07:33 4
    - oh, probably, -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 07:34
    - fuck it, she can live with me. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 07:34 2
      - *cancels movers* -- nm - Jenny McCarthy Aug 24, 07:36 1
        
        I have a much better shot at her sister, at this point. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 07:37
  - also, TIME TO MOVE!!!! nm -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 07:33
  - Not to mention the costs for security. -- nm - pmb Aug 24, 07:33
  - it is not like she does not have any $ of her own though. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 07:32 49
    - I'm honestly surprised she didn't get more, though. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:38 46
      - looking at what Tom makes, sure, but 33K a month is absurd no matter how you slice it. -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 07:41 43
        
        a 400K income in NYC isn't at all crazy though. - Andie Aug 24, 07:43 28
        
        he's paying for her education, though -- that's likely another $100k? -- nm - amanda Aug 24, 07:45 6
        
        and I don't know who's paying the nanny, but a high end full time nanny will be an easy $150k/year. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:46
        
        is she at boarding school or day school? (i am mostly just curious). - Andie Aug 24, 07:46 2
        
        day. the boarding school they were talking about sending her to was a sci one -- rumor is that was the last straw for katie. - amanda Aug 24, 07:47
        
        day. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:46
        
        at the Catholic school they're talking about, more like 40-50. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:45 1
        
        thank you for correcting. my ? indicated that I didn't know. -- nm - amanda Aug 24, 07:46
        
        yes, looking at it as a % of Tom's money, sure. - groiny Aug 24, 07:44 19
        
        even taking Tom out of it, in Manhattan society terms it's nothing. -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 07:45 18
        
        it's really not. and adding in bodyguards? I bet she has two shifts of two people, and one overnight person. that's $400k per year in manhattan. -- nm - amanda Aug 24, 07:46 16
        
        well, you know, she could , I dunno, move? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 07:48 14
        
        her *job* is in new york. you could move too. I could move. -- nm - amanda Aug 24, 07:49 13
        
        this. she's trying to start up a fashion line. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:50 12
        
        right, so she has $. So we cannot look at this like the 400k is all she has. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 07:51 11
        
        Suri is Tom Cruise's kid. Why should Tom not pay support at a level that other dad's pay support? -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 07:53 3
        
        I think this is the biggest thing. the judge should have awarded enough support that suri's life didn't have to change. -- nm - amanda Aug 24, 07:59 1
        
        Dave just finished payment support for his son - i assure it was a hell of a lot more than 2% of his income. -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 08:00
        
        I posted elsewhere in this trhread by mistake, but was refering to some of this. -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 07:55
        
        It's not about how much money she has. She deserved more, IMO. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:53 6
        
        Pre Nuptual Agreement. She signed it. -- nm - Bacon Aug 24, 07:59
        
        The marraige is over, so the money is over. -- nm - Bacon Aug 24, 07:55 4
        
        you don't think he needs to pay for his child's care? interesting. -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 07:56 3
        
        She was talking about him paying her alimony. -- nm - Bacon Aug 24, 07:58 2
        
        okay, i thought you meant *all* the money is over from your statement. -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 07:59
        
        her life is different forever after being married to Tom. - loosilu Aug 24, 07:59
        
        and they genuinely need bodyguards. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:47
        
        this. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:45
        
        it's really not. you're not a rich person on that. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:44
        
        But that's his daughter and she's entitled to it, you know? -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:42 13
        
        she is entitled to something, somehow I doubt she needs 33k a month worth of shit. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 07:43 12
        
        Maybe not --- but given the massive fortune in play here....400k a year sounds low. - Will Hunting Aug 24, 07:46 9
        
        Sorry, not 5% --- 2%. Child and spousal support of 2% is unreal low. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 24, 07:48
        
        child support of any nature, should be based on need. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 07:47 7
        
        well, what do you tell Sur? Your dad is megarich, but you live with your mom. So, go live in your walk up apartment and try to not be jealous of - Andie Aug 24, 07:50 5
        
        and also, every time you see your dad, he will take you on a ridiculous fantasy vacation. - loosilu Aug 24, 07:54
        
        *and* need is location-based, peer-group based. suri needs vastly different things than needs a child here, say. -- nm - amanda Aug 24, 07:52
        
        life is hard, kid, get used to it. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 07:52 2
        
        it's Tom's money. do you think he's being ripped off or something? -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 07:54 1
        
        no, I think when you can afford to pay 400k a year for "child support", you make too much money. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 07:56
        
        We can talk "Should" as part of the hypothetical "Fixes".... -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 24, 07:49
        
        it's not about what she needs. we all know no kid needs that much. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:44
        
        Better to her than to the Church of Scientology or whatever crap Tom would buy for himself. -- nm - mara Aug 24, 07:44
      - How much did she get? -- nm - Under the Influence Aug 24, 07:41 1
        
        reportedly nothing. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 07:42
    - *laughs* -- nm - The Church of Scientoogy Aug 24, 07:33
    - of course. -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 07:33
Jim...I'm posting to the UsersGroup again! -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 24, 07:29 7
- Sweet...I'll suggest that you jam the doorman. :) -- nm - Jim Aug 24, 07:30 6
  - fix my query and I'll kiss you straight in the face like a man. [nm] - Mel Profit Aug 24, 07:34 5
    - Dude...that query's all about Sched nonsense. Nobody can work with that mess! :) - Jim Aug 24, 07:43 1
      - Hey...I wasn't expecting you BAR pukes to actually help! - Mel Profit Aug 24, 07:49
    - But not like a doorman. - Spawn Aug 24, 07:35 2
      - If Jim's all up into uniforms I'm game...if he fixes my query. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 24, 07:43
      - but maybe like the Back Door Man instead. -- nm - Remlik Aug 24, 07:39
BOOM! -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 07:27
