    - That's awesome! -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 12:34 1
      - I'm took this pic, but am not it (although my old fb photo was me bowling) here's the alley -- (link) - MDH Sep 7, 12:36 [Image]
Related: Brooklyn now the #2 most expensive place to live in the US (surpassing Honolulu) -- (link) - ty97 Sep 7, 12:20 3
- A list I don't want to see Brooklyn on. :-( All those new luxury buildings(HATE) are driving up rent prices. -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 12:26 2
  - I think Eastern and Southern Brooklyn are still somewhat affordable? But Western Brooklyn is the new Manhattan. -- nm - ty97 Sep 7, 12:30 1
    - Anything near the bridges are overpriced. The prices rose as people that lived in Manhattan moved across the river. - Krusty Sep 7, 12:33

Think I'll give that "sell my Kindle Fire on eBay" thing a try. -- nm - Ender Sep 7, 12:17 20
- Yeah, I listed mine a little higher than oblique's. - spamlet Sep 7, 12:22 10
  - Yeah, I went with $120 starting price, $150 BIN. If I can get at least 120 it should be worth it to upgrade for just $80. -- nm - Ender Sep 7, 12:23 2
    - That's exactly what I did. -- nm - spamlet Sep 7, 12:25
    - Getting a new case is another $30 but *shrug* - oblique Sep 7, 12:24
  - I felt bad about the $125 - oblique Sep 7, 12:23 6
    - My problem with instant purchases with Buy Now is that I always wonder how much higher the bidder would have gone. -- nm - David Sep 7, 12:28 5
      - advanced search...closed items you'll see what stuff sold for also the BINs that didn't sell -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 7, 12:37 1
        
        I am aware. -- nm - David Sep 7, 12:39
      - Yeah, never use it if it is an item you expect to have a lot of bidding on, unless you price it very high. -- nm - Spawn Sep 7, 12:32 1
        
        After the first, we listed about 30 items. At least 6 of them sold within five minutes. - David Sep 7, 12:37
      - Yeah, I kinda wonder if I could've gotten more for it now considering how fast it sold -- nm - oblique Sep 7, 12:29
- Why eBay as opposed to something like kijiji or craigslist? Just curious. -- nm - Shaun Sep 7, 12:20 8
  - For starters, because I've never even heard of kijijijijijijiji. -- nm - Ender Sep 7, 12:24 2
    - nobody has heard of kijiji -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 7, 12:40
    - Fine then. "A local classifieds site" -- nm - Shaun Sep 7, 12:25
  - No face-to-face. -- nm - Spawn Sep 7, 12:20 4
    - Buyer fees, shipping hassle, asshat anonymous buyers, etc...Blech. -- nm - Shaun Sep 7, 12:23 3
      - I had about a thousand sales on ebay, with very few problems. - Spawn Sep 7, 12:24 2
        
        Yeah maybe you are just super special. Hoser. -- nm - Shaun Sep 7, 12:26 1

IMDB's top 25 actresses. Are they missing any? -- (link) - GregW Sep 7, 12:14 3
- Jessica Alba at #20!! nm - Dignan Sep 7, 12:37
- This list is "Look, I can name 25 actresses!" -- if you start with Streep, you're talking talent and there's no way Alba is there; but Michelle Willi - Will Hunting Sep 7, 12:16
- Clara Bow! - Pappy Schmecklenburger si Sep 7, 12:15
ST Poll: I gave my son $10 when I dropped him off for school today b/c he's going to a friend of ours' house after school since my wife is on a trip - oblique Sep 7, 12:14 6
- none, the other parent will pick up the tab while they interview the kid their daughter is haning around with -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 7, 12:27
- That's exactly how Al Capone got started. -- nm - Max Sep 7, 12:23
- $8, $5, $0 -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 7, 12:21
- Returned? He may buy a Jamba Juice but he's also buying candy and other junk. He'll spend every last cent and he should. :-) - Krusty Sep 7, 12:19
- he's gonna give it all to his girlfriend at Jamba because they're meeting up there later without you knowing! -- nm - CQ Sep 7, 12:18
- none, he will use it for Hookers and Crack -- nm - amoxy Sep 7, 12:17

What $3,600 Can Rent You Around New York City -- (link) - ty97 Sep 7, 12:08 50
- all five apartments in my building *together* rent for less than this. and heat's included. -- nm - amanda Sep 7, 12:30
- You can get some very, very nice apartments in NYC for that price. Those are just some of the most expensive neigborhoods. I'd be living like a king - Krusty Sep 7, 12:22 9
  - Yeah, these types of lists basically always look only at Manhattan and (maybe) Western Brooklyn. -- nm - ty97 Sep 7, 12:24 2
    - which makes sense, as it's targeted at people who are in the market to spend that much on an apartment in the first place - znufrii Sep 7, 12:26
    - They really should include Astoria. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:25
  - believe you can find a lot cheaper apartments in Clinton Hill than that one, it's not really that expensive a neighborhood at all -- nm - znufrii Sep 7, 12:24
  - this is true. In Windsor Terrace you'd get a killer place. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:24
  - [deleted] 3
    - Sorry. I take pleasure in ruining things for everyone. -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 12:31 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Heh. :-) I'm worried that no matter what he doesn't get fired. He only has one year left. I can see them keeping him and just - Krusty Sep 7, 12:37
- I'll take the Clinton Hill, followed by Williamsburg. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:22 15
  - If I had to choose I'd take the East Harlem one followed by the Williamsburg(yuck( and then Clinton Hill. -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 12:25
  - that side of Clinton Hill is a nice neighborhood, but annoyingly far from the train. -- nm - znufrii Sep 7, 12:23 13
    - Good. Trains are noisy. -- nm - Spawn Sep 7, 12:25 10
      - That's like the least of the noise. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:29 6
        
        yeah, nothing compared to the crack whores fighting outside your window at 3am. -- nm - znufrii Sep 7, 12:31 5
        
        Can't say I'm familiar with Clinton Hill. :) Where I lived it was mostly car alarms in the middle of the night. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:32 4
        
        to be fair, the crack whores weere when I lived on the other side of Clinton Hill, off of Fulton St. - znufrii Sep 7, 12:35 3
        
        When I lived in Long Island City, local smack addicts (I think) stole just the rubber of my windshield wipers a few times. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:37
        
        "local color" -- nm - ty97 Sep 7, 12:35 1
        
        yeah - znufrii Sep 7, 12:37
      - They are (probably) below ground in that area still. -- nm - ty97 Sep 7, 12:29 2
        
        it's north of Prospect Park, so for sure underground. I think the BQ Expressway would be a bigger problem. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:31
        
        they are, but even then they can be noisy.... -- nm - znufrii Sep 7, 12:30
    - In my fantasies I don't have a 9-5 job. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:24 1
      - then you're golden :) -- nm - znufrii Sep 7, 12:25
- 1 Bedroom? -- nm - amoxy Sep 7, 12:18 1
  - Some 1BR, some 2BR, one 3BR (in East Harlem) and loft in Williamsburg -- nm - ty97 Sep 7, 12:20
- sounds about right -- nm - znufrii Sep 7, 12:14
- *shakes head* - oblique Sep 7, 12:10 19
  - *shakes head* - Spawn Sep 7, 12:12 3
    - there really should be a fee for living that close to Remlik -- nm - oblique Sep 7, 12:14 2
      - Eh, he is about 40 minutes away, so the bump is probably equal to what you get for groiny. -- nm - Spawn Sep 7, 12:17
      - for everyone else, it's 6X the cost. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:15
  - [deleted] 12
    - [deleted] 1
      - *ding* -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 12:28
    - this is why people in NY make higher salaries on average. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:16 4
      - [deleted] 1
        
        oh sure, people def pay more for housing. Location is everything. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:23
      - this is why cost of living should be factored into taxes. -- nm - CQ Sep 7, 12:20 1
        
        [deleted]
    - Exactly 4x mine. -- nm - Spawn Sep 7, 12:13
    - Yeah, over three times my monthly payments which include mortgage, escrow, and HOA dues -- nm - ty97 Sep 7, 12:12
    - Thrice mine! -- nm - spamlet Sep 7, 12:12
    - with taxes and everything -- nm - oblique Sep 7, 12:11 1
      - [deleted]
  - Dude, I want a $1700 house! -- nm - ty97 Sep 7, 12:10 1
    - (ouch, I can't divide by two today) - ty97 Sep 7, 12:11
Will, the fact that Cary Grant's leading ladies were normally so much younger than him is sort of brought up in Charade. Audrey Hepburn makes some - kelly Sep 7, 12:08 11
- Her characters must have had a thing for older men. Her husband was in the war, and look at his buddies.. -- nm - mara Sep 7, 12:15 1
  - character -- nm - mara Sep 7, 12:15
- "Quitter." -- nm - David Sep 7, 12:10 2
  - One of my all time favorites. -- nm - kelly Sep 7, 12:13 1
    - That was my first Amazon Video purchase. -- nm - David Sep 7, 12:15
- yes. Cary was against that plotline because he felt weird on the age difference, and Audrey insisted on it -- nm - peglegpete Sep 7, 12:09 5
  - and the compromise was spoiler - peglegpete Sep 7, 12:10 4
    - yes. -- nm - kelly Sep 7, 12:12 3
      - how old was bogey when bacall was 16 -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 7, 12:14 2
        
        without looking I think pushing 40 -- nm - peglegpete Sep 7, 12:16 1
        
        over 40 I'm pretty sure. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:36

How many A+ actresses are out there now? That boozing one shouldn't be too hard to nail down -- nm - Beaker Sep 7, 12:03 19
- Has Anne Hathaway moved into A+ territory? -- nm - amoxy Sep 7, 12:21
- Re: The designer. If his mother really is in her 50s he has to be young. I think Christian Siriano (his mom is a huge supporter). but God only knows - loosilu Sep 7, 12:15 2
  - or maybe Zac Posen. I think he's pretty young. -- nm - Diva Sep 7, 12:17 1
    - yep, just checked. Posen is 31, Siriano is 26, Jason Wu is 29 (just thought of him). -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:41
- someone in comments mentioned Sandra Bullock who happens to be shooting a movie in Boston right now. -- nm - Diva Sep 7, 12:06 1
  - so is Winslet. hmm. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:12
- All depends on what you're defining as A+ --- the A+ actresses in my mind are Reese, Julia and Jolie. - Will Hunting Sep 7, 12:05 8
  - Reese is mega pregnant. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:12 1
    - Was it Tom Hardy's or Chris Pine's? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 7, 12:12
  - I think that Scarlett & Gemma are also 2 who can greenlight a film by signing on -- nm - peglegpete Sep 7, 12:08 1
    - Gemma is a no -- Scarlett has had since 2000, 5 movies top $50mil and 2 of those were Iron Mans. - Will Hunting Sep 7, 12:11
  - Natalie is pretty golden still. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 7, 12:07 3
    - Natalie would have trouble getting a big-time movie going -- she's not a box office deliverer is my guess. Sandy, yeah. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 7, 12:08 1
      - They would call Claire Danes an A-lister if it suited their purpose. - David Sep 7, 12:10
    - so is Sandy. -- nm - Diva Sep 7, 12:07
- The celebrity grading scale is always a joke. - David Sep 7, 12:05
- Dench? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 7, 12:03
- Especially with recent cancer scares. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 7, 12:03
- [deleted]
A movie entitled Erotic Karma airs on Cinemax tonight. Judging from the title, I'm guessing Mel Gibson biopic. -- nm - David Sep 7, 12:02 1
