  - I have been watching eps from the sorta marathon to gear up. - Spawn Aug 31, 09:28 4
    - I just started watching Season 1 again. I still kind of miss Eccelston. - sycor Aug 31, 09:33 3
      - If they had went form him to Matt, I would feel it more. Tennant will always be my Doctor, though. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 09:35 2
        
        Oh I admit I liked Tennant better. But Eccelston is my first so he will always be special. -- nm - sycor Aug 31, 09:36 1
        
        Tjhere were times I felt he did not have a proper handle on the role. Which was probably no fault of his own, but still. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 09:37

  - How did I forget you. Diva, I need to change my answer. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 09:25
- Yes. I'm pretty sure I'd punch a few guys that were on "Super Sweet 16" -- nm - MDH Aug 31, 09:22
- Not only that but I'll likely do it when he's in his casket. - Mel Profit Aug 31, 09:21 3
  - nmbmel - Diva Aug 31, 09:22 2
    - we were in his presence last weekend. - Mel Profit Aug 31, 09:25 1

      - That's OK, I will kneecap him first -- nm - amoxy Aug 31, 09:20 1

  - Maybe. -- nm - MDH Aug 31, 09:23
  - I know personally? Or Paul Ryan? -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 09:20 3
    - Personally. There's PLENTY of people I don't know personally that I'd love to punch right in their face. - Diva Aug 31, 09:21 1
      - Ah. Hmmm. Punch? no. Smack? yes. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 09:24
    - If that was the case, Mike Huckabee -- nm - amoxy Aug 31, 09:21
  - I really can't think of anybody right now -- nm - amoxy Aug 31, 09:17
- yes -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 09:16

I also, would like to punch Ann R. in the face. But not really. - Jovian Aug 31, 08:51 31
- I don't begrudge them their advantages and wealth but don't pretend that you've ever struggled like some of us. - Mel Profit Aug 31, 08:56 29
  - You should see Jon Stewart's bio "that they stole" from the convention. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 09:11 2
    - it was great. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 31, 09:22 1
      - I love that I changed over from Romney's speech to that. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 09:26
  - I also liked the "No one told me a storybook marriage would involve having five boys stuck inside on rainy days" - Roger More Aug 31, 09:07
  - Exactly. And I'm not speaking for me either. But I'm not going to pretend that the advantages I've had were not advantages. -- nm - pmb Aug 31, 09:03
  - it's weird, I don't begrudge them their advantages and wealth either. Something else about her annoys me and I'm not sure I can articulate it. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 09:01 13
    - she's either aware of the advantages she's always had and lying or... - Mel Profit Aug 31, 09:05 12
      - I'm going with the latter. I know people like this. Here's the thing, often people think that because they worked hard to achieve what they did, - pmb Aug 31, 09:18 3
        
        I think it's human nature for people to credit themselves for their success, and other factors for their failures. - Roger More Aug 31, 09:28 2
        
        "So, if your dry cleaning business failed, it was because of Obama but if it succeeded it was all because you built it!" -- nm - paraphrase" Aug 31, 09:30
        
        Obviously I'm not choosing to buy lottery tickets at the exact time that the correct ones are being generated. -- nm - zork Aug 31, 09:29
      - I honestly think for her, it is the later and for him it is the former. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 09:14 7
        
        Yup. But to be fair he's trying to get elected. Coming out and saying "I grew up rich, I'm out of touch with average people and you all should just - pmb Aug 31, 09:23 4
        
        Oh, he says whatever he has to say. He may have moved away, but he really is just a car salesman. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 09:33
        
        but saying she can relate to people because she does gorcery shopping is wrong. Buying is *not* the same as shopping. She does not need to worry how - zork Aug 31, 09:26 2
        
        See also Common People by Pulp -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 09:34
        
        I agree. It's just part of the personal rationalization she does. It's essentially from being so out of touch with that reality that she doesn't get - pmb Aug 31, 09:28
        
        Correct. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 09:20
        
        I tend to think this as well... -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 31, 09:15
  - I got a kick out of the time she said they had to sell stock to pay for college. - Reagen Aug 31, 09:01 9
    - ~all by his self~ -- nm - Leonard Nimoy Aug 31, 09:14
    - it's like my first year in college when I turned in soda cans to buy food. She's just like me. -- nm - Diva Aug 31, 09:14 6
      - stocks ... soda cans...it's all the same really. - Mel Profit Aug 31, 09:23 2
        
        ishz okay. i got the degree and I obviously am never hungry anymore. :) -- nm - Diva Aug 31, 09:24 1
        
        You and Ann...totally sisters in Life. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 31, 09:25
      - Yup. Like me selling plasma to buy my books. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 09:15 2
        
        I wanted to do this but I was too weak from hunger to find the plasma donation place. - Diva Aug 31, 09:17 1
        
        Freshman year I learned form my roommate to work in a restaurant that did not mind employee grazing. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 09:23

- You get the mind today? -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 08:52
We have two drive-in theaters in the area. *BOTH* of them show triple features this weekend that start with Oogieloves. - David Aug 31, 08:49 3
- That's the thing.... I wonder what the special kind of dread would feel like when you were on your way to see it the 2nd time -- nm - prayformojo Aug 31, 09:09
- You should go to one tonight and the other tomorrow night. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 08:50 1
  - and thus double the weekend box office for the movie -- nm - decline Aug 31, 08:50
It's amazing how pervasive Youtube is. It's blocked at my new work and it comes up constantly. -- nm - volnelk Aug 31, 08:46
My conservative co-workers were just now defending Eastwood's performance...vigorously - amoxy Aug 31, 08:45 6
- Was it a deer caught in a headlights look? -- nm - eag Aug 31, 08:47 5
  - No scary -- nm - amoxy Aug 31, 08:50 4
    - Like Charles Manson scarry? -- nm - eag Aug 31, 08:51 3
      - Or even Marylyn Manson scarry ? -- nm - eag Aug 31, 08:52 2
        
        or Hanson scary? -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 08:59 1
        
        You said it - eag Aug 31, 09:10
If I am running against Eastwood, I keep a reel of him yelling at the chair. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 08:41
LIR: groiny. Yeah, it's just too many games. I really only play one or two nights a week and I really enjoy Halo - oblique Aug 31, 08:41 17
- Halo is fun but I like switching it up and playing different games with STers. - Krusty Aug 31, 08:58
- I feel the same way about Halo. And Borderlands grew so laborious with the DLC. -- nm - David Aug 31, 08:51 3
  - only the zombies one was really out of whack. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 31, 08:52 2
    - no, the last one had the same problem as zombies, meaningless hunt of tons of items. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 31, 09:01 1
      - oh, I never bought the claptrap DLC (which was the last one IIRC). nm -- nm - groiny Aug 31, 09:03
- I did not like Borderlands, so no worries here. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 08:44 6
  - I've had trouble getting into it as well. It just seems sort of repetitive and dull. - pmb Aug 31, 09:01 1
    - once you get into the upper tier of weapons, it gets fun. - groiny Aug 31, 09:03
  - there is something seriously wrong with you. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 31, 08:45 3
    - It was just so tediously, mindlessly simple. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 08:48 2
      - But enough talk about eastwood's speech -- nm - eag Aug 31, 08:50
      - so you should have loved it then. - groiny Aug 31, 08:49
- i doubt i will be black ops 2 until next year. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 31, 08:44 1
  - some of the multiplayer footage I have seen is splooge worthy. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 31, 08:44

    - yes, I just downloaded the Dawnguard DLC, so I have to get back into it at some point. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 31, 08:48
I'm watching the Eastwood speech now on my phone. Um, wow. - loosilu Aug 31, 08:40 14
- I just started watching it too. I can't watch anymore. I just feel bad for him. - pmb Aug 31, 09:10 1
  - Oh, it gets worse. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 09:12
- No but his hair stylist was. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 08:42 11
  - he really is losing the debate to a chair. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 08:42 1
    - I would love to see the first Pres Debate, with Obama sending out the chair to start. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 08:46
  - As was the RNC Chairman. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 08:42 8
    - Unrelated: Every time I see Ann Romney, I want to punch her. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 08:43 7
      - I am not a fan but punching her seems extreme -- nm - amoxy Aug 31, 08:46 3
        
        spoiler: I wouldn't ACTUALLY do that. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 08:49 1
        
        I know, but saying you want to seems a bit unreasonable. -- nm - mara Aug 31, 09:33
        
        She seems like a very good Mormon wife. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 08:47
      - WTF? Why? -- nm - mara Aug 31, 08:45 2
        
        just gut dislike. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 08:48
        
        Because she is annoying as hell. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 08:45
