      - :-) -- nm - Krusty Jan 31, 07:13
      - You posted it last evening! -- nm - mara Jan 31, 07:13 2
        
        Madrid, Madras, how can I be expected to remember that? - loosilu Jan 31, 07:14 1
        
        Particularly since the first syllable of Madrid gets the accent, like madras. -- nm - mara Jan 31, 07:14
  - Check again. -- nm - mara Jan 31, 07:09 2
    - now I can't tell if you're messing with me. -- nm - loosilu Jan 31, 07:11 1

Matthew Rhys was excellent in "The Americans" last night (spoilers) - amoxy Jan 31, 06:51 1
- Spoiler - Krusty Jan 31, 06:56
Looks like we are getting our third Five Guys here...that seems a bit excessive for a city this size. -- nm - Kelly Jan 31, 06:50 8
- The local Five Guys have been good but not great. The ones I've had in Wichita, however, were outstanding. -- nm - Was Bar Was Jan 31, 07:09
- the original three were in Arlington. -- nm - loosilu Jan 31, 07:06

- [deleted] 5
  - The same isn't true for the female couple households -- nm - Roger More Jan 31, 06:59 4
    - Sure - I am just pointing out other stereotypes. What I don't get is what a "refrigerated meal starter" is. -- nm - Roger More Jan 31, 07:06 1
      - a bag of pre cut veggies, or partially made items like veggie burgers (which you have to finish by grilling and assembling the sandwich) - zeitgeist Jan 31, 11:14

      - "20% of the shaving supplies compared to the average straight couple household." -- nm - TFox Jan 31, 07:07
- So we are drunk, shaved, and exfoliated. Yeah, sounds about right. -- nm - ty97 Jan 31, 06:48

MA Appeals court upholds judge's order to graffiti tagger to pay restitution. -- (link) - CovingtonCat Jan 31, 06:35 2
- He's 12. Why are the parents not responsible for what he did? Shouldn't they be the ones paying to repair the damage? - Krusty Jan 31, 06:50 1
  - I assume ultimately they will be. -- nm - Mop Jan 31, 07:01

I am really surprised by that Grizzlies trade. I know it helps then financially but they had a very strong team that - Krusty Jan 31, 06:26 7
- I do like Ed Davis as a building piece a lot. Plus Austin Daye, Tayshaun, and a really iffy draft pick... it's not a terrible haul. -- nm - TFox Jan 31, 06:48 4
  - But when they team is on its way to possibly making a deep run in the playoffs why would you trade your #1 scorer? - Krusty Jan 31, 06:53 3
    - I think "deep run" is potentially overstated. -- nm - TFox Jan 31, 07:03 1
      - (i.e. both the Clippers and Thunder would bury them without breaking a sweat, and probably the Spurs too.) -- nm - TFox Jan 31, 07:04
    - That being said, I do like Ed Davis. Still think it's an odd time to make a trade like this. -- nm - Krusty Jan 31, 06:54
- When it comes to the NBA...just seems teams really reflect their ownership and GM. Good or bad. -- nm - budice Jan 31, 06:30
- Right? -- nm - prayformojo Jan 31, 06:28

- This rocks so much. -- nm - Kelly Jan 31, 06:49
- like a *boss* -- nm - TFox Jan 31, 06:44
- If this wasn't all-caps it would be a perfect 10.0. As it is, he wobbled on the presentation and only gets a 9.9. - Will Hunting Jan 31, 06:35
- i love Uncle Matt. -- nm - Andie Jan 31, 06:23

PA wants to privatize its liquor stores -- (link) - znufrii Jan 31, 05:54 16
- I'm not really sure what that means. Liquor is a state run business? -- nm - Krusty Jan 31, 06:08 15
  - wine and liquor, yup. only sold in state-run stores. -- nm - znufrii Jan 31, 06:09 14
    - they always talk about that here, but then common sense prevails thankfully. Our liquor corp always turns a nice profit and they just want to get a -- nm - Beaker Jan 31, 06:16 9
      - Ontario's liquor and beer sales are run by the government, it brings in a ton of money for the province. And it's really no big deal. -- nm - Andie Jan 31, 06:20
      - huge revenue item in the current fiscal year, forgetting the revenue they get every year in perpituity thanks to it. Short sited move -- nm - Beaker Jan 31, 06:17 7
        
        revenue stream aside, I just don't think it's a business the state needs to be in. -- nm - znufrii Jan 31, 06:20 6
        
        why not? they regulate the hell out of it so are deeply involved as it is. Plus the buying power of a state run business allows for good volume deals. -- nm - zork Jan 31, 06:25 4
        
        That doesn't mean it's part of the government's core business though. - Roger More Jan 31, 06:52
        
        sure, for manufacturers that can produce those volumes, what about small producers who can't supply an entire state? -- nm - znufrii Jan 31, 06:31 2
        
        private breweries and wineries are allowed to sell privately at their own location, or to restaurants. - Andie Jan 31, 06:33 1
        
        (and restaurants can import micros from other places.) -- nm - Andie Jan 31, 06:34
        
        and their whiskey selection *sucks* -- nm - znufrii Jan 31, 06:20
    - and beer, you have to buy by the case, unless you're getting it to take out from a bar. - znufrii Jan 31, 06:10 3
      - That is really odd. -- nm - Krusty Jan 31, 06:12 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Ontario is the same. It makes the province billions per year yet they talk about selling it off sometimes *smh*. Also, ,,, - zork Jan 31, 06:23
