  - *ding* Hardee's Memphis BBQ Six Dollar Thickburger, small fries and small cherry coke. - JaxSean Oct 4, 10:16 13
    - never heard of it. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 10:17 12
      - Uh, you need to watch the commercial then. -- (link) - JaxSean Oct 4, 10:18 10
        
        That commercial basically sums up 75% of what I hate about the South -- nm - ty97 Oct 4, 10:22 1
        
        Hot sexy women, BBQ and Hardees? -- nm - JaxSean Oct 4, 10:24
        
        Love the commercial but I definitely don't want a burger after seeing that. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Oct 4, 10:20 4
        
        *driving around* ["what do I want for lunch...?"] *sees Hardees, sees sign for Memphis burger, thinks of commercial, realizes I haven't tried it* - JaxSean Oct 4, 10:23 3
        
        Seems so. :-) - Krusty Oct 4, 10:25 2
        
        Unfortunately, no. *HELL* no. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 4, 10:31 1
        
        Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Oct 4, 10:37
        
        that does not make me crave a burger. - groiny Oct 4, 10:20 2
        
        It didn't make me want the burger. But because of that commercial, I knew about it. - JaxSean Oct 4, 10:21 1
        
        I wish we had one of those near here just so I'd get the commerical. - Krusty Oct 4, 10:22
      - I've seen the commercials. It's not for me but I could see people liking it. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Oct 4, 10:17
- A bacon cheeseburger with a donut instead of a bun. -- nm - Krusty Oct 4, 10:13 2
  - This is close. heh -- nm - JaxSean Oct 4, 10:15
  - *snort* nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 10:14
- Feels like it had to be something at KFC -- nm - ty97 Oct 4, 10:13
- Baconator? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 10:11 5
  - No, that actually has 30 less calories than the thing I ate. You're in the ballpark though. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 4, 10:14 4
    - Bacon Fried Bacon? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 10:15 3
      - bacon wrap, where the wrap is also made of bacon. -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 10:15 2
        
        Honestly, the Baconator is probably the baconiest thing I've ever had, and probably the only time I've ever said - JaxSean Oct 4, 10:20 1
        
        *nods* The big bacon classic was king...then they too much'ed it. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 4, 10:23
- Whatever it was, I hate you now... - JaxSean's heart Oct 4, 10:10
- (I think some of your units are off; I'm fairly certain you didn't just eat 6 pounds of salt) -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 10:09 4
  - a double cheeseburger and a salt lick between two doughnuts -- nm - ceregon Oct 4, 10:17
  - Heh. That was pulled directly from the website. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 4, 10:11 2
    - I'm just saying, "That was the saltiest thing I ever ate - and I once ate big heaping pile of salt!" -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 10:12 1
      - Haha. :-) -- nm - Krusty Oct 4, 10:12
The Neighbors pulled in 2.0 last night - Jovian Oct 4, 10:04 1

through most of the republican campaign and convention they have been accused of making shit up and lying out their asses, the 'we are not going to... - zeitgeist Oct 4, 10:02
oh jesus...... -- (link) - groiny Oct 4, 10:00 2
- :( -- nm - znufrii Oct 4, 10:09
- That is so awful. No one should ever know that pain. :-( -- nm - Krusty Oct 4, 10:02
Sexy! My monthly escrow payment dropped! -- nm - ty97 Oct 4, 09:59 1
- not to be a wet blanket, but doesn't that mean that the property value may have dropped as well? -- nm - Diva, LCM Oct 4, 10:23
They're filiming Elementary down the block from me but I didn't see Lucy Liu anywhere. Damn it! - Krusty Oct 4, 09:59 3
- go! -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 10:30
- Isn't she a head in a jar by now? -- nm - Roger More Oct 4, 10:23
- If you can't see her ... - Beryllium Oct 4, 10:02
Redbox taking on Ticketmaster next -- (link) - znufrii Oct 4, 09:50 3
- if all they are going to sell is stuff Ticketmaster isn't... not really -- nm - SG3 Oct 4, 10:02 1
  - but if they start taking clients away from ticketmaster because they can move things faster/better/cheaper... -- nm - znufrii Oct 4, 10:02
- I still have a Redbox code for a free one night DVD rental if anyone is interested. -- nm - Krusty Oct 4, 09:57
Will Bobby V ever have a job as a manager in MLB again? - groiny Oct 4, 09:49 5
- If so, bet everything you can on the win total under. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 4, 10:15
- I think so. But I can see him going back to Japan. IIRC, he did well there and they didn't hate him. -- nm - Krusty Oct 4, 09:56
- that's being charitable, I think. - znufrii Oct 4, 09:52 1
  - I did not mind him as an analyst. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 09:54
- No. He spent a decade in the wilderness and then failed miserably. He's the anti-Showalter. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 4, 09:49
Hmm. A screenshot of a tweet posted on my FB news feed seems to indicate that Bobby V is currently in a meeting with Red Sox brass. - kelly Oct 4, 09:47 23

    - This is going to be a monumental off-season. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 4, 09:57 8
      - [deleted] 7
        
        which tells me, there is something wrong in that clubhouse, and it is not the manager. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 09:58 6
        
        I hope that was rectified during the big dump to the Dodgers. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 4, 10:00 5
        
        I dunno, I still cannot figure out why Youk had to go. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 10:01 4
        
        Three months too late. He still had legit value in teh off-season...but then he was 32, and his intensity was playing wrongly. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 4, 10:15
        
        I loved Youk but he was so intense that even Kevin Garnett told him to lighten up. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 4, 10:04 2
        
        his skills had eroded a bit, for sure, but he was never an issue in our clubhouse here. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 10:05 1
        
        a few things happened... - Mel Profit Oct 4, 10:08
    - The last tweet I see is from 13h ago. ?? -- nm - kelly Oct 4, 09:54 2
      - [deleted]
      - Oh, never mind. I found the news elsewhere. (The Red Sox official page on FB.) -- nm - kelly Oct 4, 09:56
  - when he got booed...in May...for no reason other than... - Mel Profit Oct 4, 09:50
- Yeah, he's being fired as we speak.....most years though, the manager sits with the brass and figures out a debriefing. - Will Hunting Oct 4, 09:48 7
  - "Bobby was particularly craven in the exit interview, repeatedly breaking down in tears and begging for his job." -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 09:50 1
    - says the official press release. -- nm - Roger More Oct 4, 09:54
  - If only someone had seen this coming before they hired him. -- nm - Roger More Oct 4, 09:49 4
    - The only 2 people who didn't were Lucchino and Henry. Maybe Cherington can hire his own guy to build on the thievery of the salary dump trade. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 4, 09:51 3
      - I think we can also say, that Francona was not the problem there either. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 09:56 2
        
        Not the problem, but by the end he wasn't the solution either. - Will Hunting Oct 4, 09:58 1
        
        agreed to both. - Mel Profit Oct 4, 10:13
[deleted] 24
- [deleted] 2
  - agreed. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 4, 10:11
  - and then he wastes the entire Cabinet. -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 10:11
- Is that Jackie Earle Haley I spotted? And Gale from Breaking Bad? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 09:52 9
  - Jared Harris is so good at what he does. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 4, 09:56 1
    - Agreed. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 09:57
  - Yes and....yes. -- (link) - kelly Oct 4, 09:53 6
    - and I thiiiiink I spotted tommy lee jones ... can you confirm? - Beryllium Oct 4, 09:55 5
      - [deleted] 4
        
        Sure, I can see that - I mean, I had no idea they had invented a time machine just for this movie to have that character. - Beryllium Oct 4, 09:58 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Yeah, it's distracting. -- nm - kelly Oct 4, 10:01
        
        he looks a lot like the historical guy, though. -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 09:58
- Well, at least they're not trying to be grandiose. - Mop on Mac Pro Oct 4, 09:50 1
  - a shocking lack of vampires, though. -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 09:51
- yeah it does. very nice. -- nm - Jim Oct 4, 09:48 1
  - I get choked up when I see the African American soldier saluting. By the time Lincoln's pointing at people, you feel he's pointing at you. - Mop on Mac Pro Oct 4, 09:51
- *hands him another Oscar* -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 4, 09:47 2
  - he's the only actor I am determined to see everything he does as soon as I can. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 4, 09:48 1
    - this. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 09:52
- the cast looks great. - Mel Profit Oct 4, 09:46 1
  - Oh yeah. Amazing cast. -- nm - kelly Oct 4, 09:51
- That's *got* to hurt his vocal chords to do that. -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 09:46 1
  - It hit my ears like a bad SNL old-timey goldminer skit. -- nm - Max Oct 4, 10:34
Krusty, can you guys rent a car? Or borrow somebody elses? -- nm - amoxy Oct 4, 09:40 1
- No one to borrow from. I suggested renting a car but my other friend is a cheap bastard. - Krusty Oct 4, 09:55
[deleted] 11
- I really don't care how many of these they make...I'll be there for every one. -- nm - Jim Oct 4, 09:43 7
  - Yup. Can't get enough Die Hard. -- nm - Krusty Oct 4, 10:01
  - Same. Obviously things have changed a lot since the first one, but it's like with Bond movies. Find a formula that works, and tweak it every time. -- nm - Roger More Oct 4, 09:53 4
    - Hell, I even like the non-Bruce Willis Die Hard flicks. Like Under Siege. That was Die Hard on a boat. Speed = Die Hard on a bus. - Jim Oct 4, 09:54 3
      - The interesting thing about Die Hard is that they actually changed the initial formula. - Roger More Oct 4, 10:01 2
        
        Whoa...you're right. He needs to get partnered with Jonah Hill now, right? Or Martin Lawrence? I know... - Jim Oct 4, 10:02 1
        
        No, no, you've got it all wrong. - Beryllium Oct 4, 10:03
  - right. The sequels aren't bad but there's only really the original. - Mel Profit Oct 4, 09:48
- Explosions! Explosions! Chick in a leather suit! Explosions! Quip! Explosions! -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 09:42 2
  - (that was a lame-ass quip, though) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 09:49
  - QUIPSPLOSION! -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 09:47
Word. -- nm - Jim Oct 4, 09:38
