        I have mine set up to record 11-11:35 Mon-Fri. - JaxSean Aug 30, 19:20 1
        
        I notice there's always repeats set to record when it's a repeat week but it seems to sort itself out on Mondays. - Cuzzin Todd Aug 30, 19:26

- His mistake was picking someone everyone wants to be bedded by. -- nm - Qale Aug 30, 19:11 2
  - Sean Penn may have been more apt. -- nm - nubby Aug 30, 19:12 1
    - I don't get it. -- nm - ScarJo Aug 30, 19:20
- @KagroX: I'm cautiously optimistic about going back on that lawn. -- nm - nubby Aug 30, 19:11
This is awful. -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 19:07 6
- i used to have respect for him... -- nm - decline Aug 30, 19:10 1

Clint been on yet? -- nm - Under the Influence Aug 30, 19:01 4
- now -- nm - Remlik Aug 30, 19:05 1
  - Thanks! I have no interest in either convention, it's just a bunch of horse shit anyway, at least next week there is the NFL season opener to watch. -- nm - Under the Influence Aug 30, 19:12
- Clint-on? -- nm - JaxSean Aug 30, 19:03
- starting now -- nm - Max Aug 30, 19:03
Here's a news story that has me conflicted: Chipotle is rounding its receipts off to the nearest nickel. Which eliminates pennies - TWuG Aug 30, 19:00 9
- I think I heard a report earlier that, due to customer protests, they would only round down from now on. -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 30, 19:20
- Almost every local gas station I go to does this. I try to round off on my deliveries as well if I can. -- nm - Qale Aug 30, 19:16
- They really should get rid of them. I'm waiting to Aus to catch up and get rid of the 5c piece -- nm - Karl_S Aug 30, 19:15
- They missed an opportunity. Could have rounded up and tagged the money to be donated quarterly to local charity food banks. -- nm - JenBro Aug 30, 19:04
- the problem starts when they only round up, they could always just give a nickel instead of 2 cents back -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 30, 19:03
- They should round to the quarter. -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 19:02 3
  - it says they do in some spots. - Reagen Aug 30, 19:04 2
    - Just another way for them to nickel and penny us to death. -- nm - Under the Influence Aug 30, 19:15 1
      - if you round both up and down, it evens out completely. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 19:16
Is The Oogieloves a thing outside the movie? I keep thinking about looking this up - prayformojo Aug 30, 18:56 18
- I'll admit I'm not up on movies at all like I used to be, but I saw *one* commercial for this, and even then I was like - JaxSean Aug 30, 19:13 2
  - this is supposed to be the launch for this. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 19:15 1
    - Seems like the exact opposite way of doing things. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 30, 19:16
- No. -- nm - David Aug 30, 19:06
- 60 *thousand* in 1500 theaters. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 19:02 13
  - Opening day PSA of forty bucks? - Will Hunting Aug 30, 19:06 2
    - Worst wide release debut of all time. -- nm - David Aug 30, 19:07 1
      - That studio page is just sad. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 19:10
  - ERC: Official OOGIELOVES gross for Wednesday: $102,564 in 2,160 theaters--$47 per. This makes BARNEY'S GREAT ADVENTURE seem like THE AVENGERS. -- nm - Tim Aug 30, 19:05 9
    - As I said in today's analysis, it's the equivalent of six tickets sold per theater all day yesterday. -- nm - David Aug 30, 19:06 8
      - New awful record, right? - Will Hunting Aug 30, 19:07 6
        
        no. I think Zyzzyx Rd still holds the record. it sold 2 tickets. -- nm - Remlik Aug 30, 19:10 1
        
        Wide release -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 30, 19:11
        
        Threw under Delgo, which was $57 (?) for the exact same number of venues. - David Aug 30, 19:10 2
        
        ah, you're right. $237 per for the weekend. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 19:11 1
        
        Oh, I had *FUN* researching this today. -- nm - David Aug 30, 19:12
        
        I think the three day record is Marci X, which made $747 per screen in its first weekend. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 19:08
      - now that's Oogie! -- nm - prayformojo Aug 30, 19:07
One thing I'm happy to see from the hurricane zone - pets are being evacuated along with their owners. - MojaveMeg Aug 30, 18:51 5
- I'm divided about this - ceregon Aug 30, 19:02 4
  - You know, this is a time when shelters in areas from other unaffected areas need to reach out with resources and help. -- nm - JenBro Aug 30, 19:08 3
    - They can send pet food and supplies, but it still doesn't get around the physical space requirements. -- nm - ceregon Aug 30, 19:25
    - I'm hoping that's part of the plan now. Last time shelters were set up after the fact but by then the pets were already separated from their families - MojaveMeg Aug 30, 19:12 1
      - Exactly! -- nm - JenBro Aug 30, 19:13
Wow, there's a freakton of redheads in that Clint Eastwood movie. -- nm - prayformojo Aug 30, 18:51

- He was immediately compared to Barry Sanders in terms of awesomeness. -- nm - Dano Aug 30, 18:52
PSA: Caramel Pretzel Klondikes = ohh emm gee. I would sell you all out for one. -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 30, 18:49

Republicans can't dance. -- nm - Max Aug 30, 18:30 6
- I thought they can't jump. -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 30, 18:47 1
  - No, that's white gu... Oh, I see what you did there! -- nm - TWuG Aug 30, 18:55
- I don't know if they own any songs you can dance to -- nm - budice Aug 30, 18:35 3
  - mostcountry songs -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 30, 19:04
  - That "We Built It" tune might do! -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 18:44 1
    - Starship is sufficiently unhip enough to be for Republicans. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 18:54
"Honey Boo Boo Beats Republican National Convention Coverage in Ratings" - David Aug 30, 18:29 21
- I don't believe that. Not in a denial way, but in a factual way. Not way less than 3 million people watched the RNC. - ty97 Aug 30, 18:59 7
  - Yeah, see below. -- nm - David Aug 30, 19:07
  - In adults 18-49, 1.531 million (Fox News) for Paul vs. 1.668 million (TLC) for Boo. - JaxSean Aug 30, 19:06
  - Which means his quote is still accurate. If you are a network that did not air Boo Boo, you got beat. -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 19:01 4
    - It's accurate in a Paul Ryan way -- nm - ty97 Aug 30, 19:10 3
      - Honey Boo Boo was the number one cable show of the night. Where's the confusion? -- nm - David Aug 30, 19:12 2
        
        "Honey Boo Boo Beats Republican National Convention Coverage in Ratings" - ty97 Aug 30, 19:15 1
        
        It did. The rating was 1.3 to 1.2. -- nm - David Aug 30, 19:19
- Is that across all networks? -- nm - Ender Aug 30, 18:51 2
  - No, that's a comparison of ratings for each show relative to that white trash Shirley Temple. - David Aug 30, 19:05
  - (cable) -- nm - JaxSean Aug 30, 19:03
- they should have brought Kardashian to speak at the RNC -- nm - Remlik Aug 30, 18:50
- Honesty wins out over lies. -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 18:45
- While I am not a huge fan of the Republicans...this greatly disturbs me as student of politcs and current events.... - Walt_Disney Aug 30, 18:45 1
  - Honestly, the convention has created no buzz at all. they should be worried. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 18:46
- but it still beats the Kardashians. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 18:38
- Is there value to watching the conventions on TV? To me they are just big pep rallies, while the true purpose (the power brokering) goes on unseen. -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 30, 18:36 2
  - I was absolutely liberated when I realized I don't HAVE to watch them, at all. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 18:39
  - I don't really think so, no. They mainly serve to rally the base. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 30, 18:38
- Until today I didnt know who that was but after seeing so many posts I went and found out I wish I hadnt done that -- nm - mud Aug 30, 18:32 1
  - Another one who never listens to anything we say :/ -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 30, 18:34

  - a pair of blue footed boobies. so pretty. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 18:40
hmm, xbox stuck in menu -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 30, 18:24
old man, look at my life, I'm a lot like you were -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 30, 18:18 3

  - Cortez is the killer -- nm - peglegpete Aug 30, 18:36
  - they just harvested his moon -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 30, 18:23
I made this for dinner tonight. I think it may be one of the best meals I've ever made. - kelly Aug 30, 18:13 7
- I've never thought about apple with chicken...I should try this. -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 30, 18:32 2
  - Mmm, I love apple with chicken. We like the chicken sausages (bought at Costco) that have apple in them. - kelly Aug 30, 18:37
  - spoiler!!! -- nm - peglegpete Aug 30, 18:35
- [deleted]
- Sounds Fantastic. -- nm - amoxy Aug 30, 18:14

  - Heh. No veggie tonight. I forgot to make one, actually. - kelly Aug 30, 18:16
Hey Jax, are you around? - kelly Aug 30, 18:09 6
- Do you need us to go check on her or anything? - JaxSean Aug 30, 18:22 3
  - I think we are all set, but thanks for the offer. I appreciate it. :) - kelly Aug 30, 18:25 2
    - Suzanne's already asleep, but she'll text her nurse and care-giver friends tomorrow. - JaxSean Aug 30, 19:09 1
      - Thank you so much, Sean (and Suzanne). -- nm - kelly Aug 30, 19:29
- We have a few friends who are nurses around town. We'll ask around and let you know -- nm - JaxSean Aug 30, 18:20 1
  - Thank you! - kelly Aug 30, 18:23
So...the power of the PS3 is a detriment to getting a game to work? - Will Hunting Aug 30, 18:08 1
- I read that more as trying to be kind while actually wanting to say bad words about the system. -- nm - Qale Aug 30, 18:23
also, @Andie, that is so cool you are going to an Indian wedding. I would LOVE to go to one! I don't care if i'm the token ridiculous whitey white - loosilu Aug 30, 18:07
holy shit, Bacon has ativan plus vicodin? we really need to mess with him. - loosilu Aug 30, 18:04
where's the TNA wrestling fans on ST? I have a question about Christy Hemme ... - i'm not dead yet ! Aug 30, 18:03 1
- I know she got injured in the WWE but not sure if it was her arm -- nm - Remlik Aug 30, 18:04
