- Only one theater downtown. *pass* -- nm - Master Kilbo Nov 5, 09:59 1
  - You shall not pass! -- nm - ceregon Nov 5, 10:00
- Uh Oh. -- nm - ThunderProfit Nov 5, 09:53
- OFFS -- nm - Spawnfall Nov 5, 09:53 4
  - Shaddup. Now you can finally go see Return of the King. -- nm - Trishgiving Nov 5, 09:54 3
    - RotK is no longer the movie with the most endings. -- nm - ceregon Nov 5, 09:55
    - But I am holding out for the super-duper-extended version. -- nm - Spawnfall Nov 5, 09:55 1
      - You've been Lucasized. -- nm - ThunderProfit Nov 5, 09:56

Skyfall; B. Casino Royale was better. -- nm - Loyola Nov 5, 09:46 3
- That's not good news. -- nm - Max Nov 5, 10:03
- For me it's like trying to decide if Batman Begins or The Dark Knight Rises is better. -- nm - LMS Nov 5, 09:49 1
  - It seemed out of step to me. It felt as if Skyfall should have been the first film with Craig as Bond, then QoS, then Casino Royale. -- nm - Loyola Nov 5, 09:54
Oops. Forgot to change the wall clocks and left for lunch an hour early. -- nm - Spawnfall Nov 5, 09:45 2

NFL: Richardson is the first rookie running back to rush for at least 100 yards against the Ravens since RB Fred Taylor in 1998. -- nm - Quantum of Strongbad Nov 5, 09:42 7
- Since you mention Richardson...I'm wondering...is it possible that Doug Martin wins RoY over Luck and RG3? - Jim Nov 5, 09:45 6
  - He's on pace to break 2000 yards from scrimmage. It's a fair question. -- nm - Quantum of Strongbad Nov 5, 09:51 5
    - Depends. If the Colts win a play-off game, I would say no. -- nm - Spawnfall Nov 5, 09:52 4
      - how is their defense? -- nm - deev another day Nov 5, 09:59
      - the awards are regular season only, no? -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 09:56
      - If they started today, they'd be playing at Denver in the 1st round. Luck vs. Peyton! -- nm - Quantum of Strongbad Nov 5, 09:55 1

        I'm listening to the oral arguments now and I love their player. It scrolls the text as each person speaks and has little pic and name so you know - Krusty Nov 5, 10:08
- presence of dog indicates acting on intent ... ie warrantless search. so no...too much gray area -- nm - budice Nov 5, 09:44
- of course not -- nm - standard republican response Nov 5, 09:42 4
  - Umm...I'm pretty sure they're fine with it. -- nm - Krusty Nov 5, 09:44

    - heh. I answered too quick. *strike that reverse it!* -- nm - Jovian Nov 5, 09:45 1
      - Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Nov 5, 09:47
- No. - Krusty Nov 5, 09:41
- that seems like the definition of a search to me. -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 09:40
- are the police allowed to look though the windows from the oustide too? -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 5, 09:36
- Only if I can take an untrained dog to their front door and search for bacon. -- nm - Ender Nov 5, 09:36
- Yes. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 09:34
- currently, yes. - znufrii Nov 5, 09:34 2

Enjoyed the Last Resort pilot, should I stick with it or is it doomed as a series? -- nm - LMS Nov 5, 09:31 6
- I love it, the acting is exceptional for TV (even Scott Speedman) and it will break my heart when the network cancels it. - Trishgiving Nov 5, 10:05
- pretty much doomed. but still might be worth -- nm - Jovian Nov 5, 09:44 1
  - This -- nm - J - mobile Nov 5, 09:49

  - [deleted]
- It's doomed. -- nm - MDH Nov 5, 09:31
Reagen, I just entered my scores for the election pool. Is it possible to make a quick change? -- nm - Loyola Nov 5, 09:26 4
- yes, I'll take the last entry before the deadline. -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 09:33 3
  - ok thanks -- nm - Loyola Nov 5, 09:37 2
    - ISTR you were on the other side of the equation last time too. -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 09:41 1
      - In 08? Possibly. -- nm - Loyola Nov 5, 09:43
Mop, you're near Seattle, right? Microsoft launch event starts at 8pm -- (link) - Master Kilbo Nov 5, 09:25 1
- Redmond, I've got a bag full of weed, 3 giant horse tranquilizer suppositories, and enough angel dust to last us the whole way. Floor it! -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Nov 5, 09:30
Anyone still playing Skyrim? -- (link) - Master Kilbo Nov 5, 09:23 3

For no.....particular reason, I realized this weekend that I need to figure out where to purchase a grappling hook - prayformoJaws Nov 5, 09:20 5
- REI or a Ship Chandler fishing supply -- nm - Golden Ghost Nov 5, 10:00
- we have someone in the family like that...for no reason he'll need a Soviet era BMP, or turbines for the jets for an F-4 or the best way to sneak - ThunderProfit Nov 5, 09:23 2
  - yep. -- nm - deev another day Nov 5, 09:54 1
    - Or locking down a warzone so people can go food shopping. -- nm - ThunderProfit Nov 5, 09:57

MSN: 8 islands owned by billionaires - Max Nov 5, 09:11 5
- Surprisingly, buying an island isn't as expensive as you might think. - Trishgiving Nov 5, 09:53 1
  - I always have my eye on a few sub-$1million islands, in case I get a windfall. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 09:54

- I'll probably stay up late. I already warned the administrators that I will be doing some serious drinking. - ceregon Nov 5, 09:04
- I'm a total insomniac, so I'll be up regardless (and I have 20-something eps of Dead Like Me on the DVR to watch when bored). Now, that's assuming FL - Trishgiving Nov 5, 09:04
- I don't care who wins so I will get to bed nice and early. My candidate won't be winning tomorrow -- nm - Bacon Nov 5, 09:04

  - I think Colbert should have put his million towards getting Trump to say something like this. - Roger More, attempting re-entry Nov 5, 09:00 1
    - yeah - it was crassly funny in a junior high school kind of way, but felt beneath him really. -- nm - Deev Another Day Nov 5, 09:02
- We need to shut down his Twitter feed so he has to shout to get attention. All that hot air, solution. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 08:56
- he really is an idiot. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:55
for Max: Heteronyms are words that change meaning along with pronunciation. -- (link) - loosilu Nov 5, 08:50 7
- My gut told me there would turn out to be a term for this. Well, I learned something in a roundabout way. I'm done for the day! -- nm - Max Nov 5, 08:51 6
  - but we haven't talked about antagonyms! words that mean their own opposite. -- (link) - loosilu Nov 5, 08:53 2
    - inflammabe! -- nm - Moneypandie Nov 5, 08:58 1
