so, Kevin Smith Q&A / J&SB Strike Back report. .. - Andie Feb 11, 06:15 11
- Smith is very funny in Q n As... not sure if that would've made it worth sitting through Jay and Silent Bob - secretslacker Feb 11, 06:25
- That sounds like a great time. (Though a shame the ending of Zack and Miri was so predicatable/formulaic.) -- nm - Don Homer Feb 11, 06:18
- The Q and As are always like that. -- nm - Amy Feb 11, 06:16 8
  - i figured it was just annoying after a while (when kevin wasn't speaking.) -- nm - Andie Feb 11, 06:16 7

        Wow...very cool. I didn't realize you had seen him so many times. - Jim Feb 11, 06:30
      - the best story he told was being at a party with Jay and Scott when they were about 16 and Jay *almost* losing his viriginity in a bathroom with some - Andie Feb 11, 06:24 1
        
        You know, you might enjoy some of their podcasts. nm - Dignan Feb 11, 06:25

- I wonder what the ump thinks about this news. -- nm - Jim Feb 11, 06:22 4
  - He responded at the end of the article. He's not in fear for his health. He has no hard feelings against Alomar and wishes him the best. -- nm - Diva Feb 11, 06:23 3
    - very classy response. -- nm - ty97 Feb 11, 06:27
    - Ahhh...I gave up on the article about midway. -- nm - Jim Feb 11, 06:25 1
      - the reporter is totally biased against the girlfriend. quote inside. - loosilu Feb 11, 06:26
- that article is horrific. -- nm - Diva Feb 11, 06:20 1
  - well, it *is* the Daily News... - znufrii Feb 11, 06:26
- I....don't like this woman - ty97 Feb 11, 06:19 42
  - It might be that he actually *did* expose her kids to the virus. - TWuG Feb 11, 06:23 26
    - [deleted] 3
      - That's why *I* said "virus." :-P -- nm - TWuG Feb 11, 06:45 1
        
        [deleted]
      - that too. :) -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 06:41
    - "Let's be blood brothers!" -- nm - Amy Feb 11, 06:37
    - That's absurd. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 11, 06:26 19
      - that's quite a conclusion to leap to. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:28
      - i don't actually know that it is - it could be, but we don't know that. -- nm - Andie Feb 11, 06:27 17
        
        I was figuring it would be in the article, if she was claiming anything specific. - ty97 Feb 11, 06:28 16
        
        yup. the way it's worded it comes off that it's simply being presumed the kids were exposed simply by being in his presence. - znufrii Feb 11, 06:31 9
        
        given the fact the article, yes. - ty97 Feb 11, 06:33 8
        
        i just wouldn't use THAT article as the basis for any reality. -- nm - Andie Feb 11, 06:34 1
        
        of course, it's the Daily News. - znufrii Feb 11, 06:38
        
        the brief is probably as thick as a book. we have no idea. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:34 5
        
        True, though I would expect that the newspaper read it and picked out the juiciest bits to print. - ty97 Feb 11, 06:35 4
        
        isn't that what they did? -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:35 3
        
        I don't know. - ty97 Feb 11, 06:36 2
        
        I think we can't tell. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:37 1
        
        I think giving the Daily News the benefit of the doubt is far more than they deserve. :) -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 06:39
        
        the story is written to make the GF look bad. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:30 5
        
        the story is written to sound as scandalous as possible. -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 06:32
        
        no it's not. - ty97 Feb 11, 06:31 3
        
        maybe it's even handed. they certainly suggest she's grabbing at the money. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:32 2
        
        hmm, I don't see that. I just see the Daily News' normal sensationalistic writing. -- nm - ty97 Feb 11, 06:33 1
        
        that's how I interpret the description of her house and car. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:34
    - I'm not willing to make that conclusion yet. - ty97 Feb 11, 06:26
  - if i thought someone knowingly exposed me and my children to AIDS i'd sue for a LOT too. - Andie Feb 11, 06:23 12
    - exposed the children how? - ty97 Feb 11, 06:24 10
      - if he had open lesions, if they weren't treating his blood properly if he was bleeding, there are ways. - Andie Feb 11, 06:26 7
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        actually I make it a point to spray blood over my apartment before cleaning up a wound. -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 06:44
        
        i'm not sure if you are agreeing with me, but i agree with you.... - Andie Feb 11, 06:43 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        fair enough. -- nm - Andie Feb 11, 06:49
        
        Exactly...if her story is right, he was living with the virus (undiagnosed) for a long time. -- nm - Jim Feb 11, 06:28
        
        exactly. If an AIDS patient shows up in the ER, the staff takes precautions. it's just what you do. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:28
      - we have no idea what the details are. any exposure to blood. like a cut or nosebleed. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:25
      - *ding* -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 06:24
    - it's entirely possible there could be criminal charges out of this if it's true. -- nm - Reagen Feb 11, 06:24
  - what's wrong with that, if it's true? -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:22 1
    - It's the wording. It is offensive that his mere presence would be considered "exposure." -- nm - TWuG Feb 11, 06:25
- that's huge. -- nm - Andie Feb 11, 06:19
- Those McCain ads take on a darker turn now. -- nm - Reagen Feb 11, 06:18 2
  - "Da one wit McCain punch!" -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 06:19 1
    - "Catch da..." - Reagen Feb 11, 06:22
- Wow. Um, that sucks. (first-ballot HOFer for sure) -- nm - Don Homer Feb 11, 06:18 4
  - It could explain why his skills seemed to diminish so quickly. -- nm - Inigo Feb 11, 06:22 3
    - He was too busy spitting on umpires. -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 06:22 2
      - His best seasons happened after that. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 11, 06:28 1
        
        Stop ruining my funny jokes. Robbie helped us nailed down back-to-backs and that was wicked. -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 06:30
- he deserves it! -- nm - Blue Jays fans Feb 11, 06:16 1
  - ummm... -- nm - kelly Feb 11, 06:20
- Wow.....that was unknown all-round to this point. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 11, 06:15
- Um...did we know he had AIDS? Cause this is the first I've heard of it. -- nm - Jim Feb 11, 06:15 2
  - no -- nm - Don Homer Feb 11, 06:21
  - This all seems to be news. -- nm - ty97 Feb 11, 06:19
- Wendel Clark should get checked!!! -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 06:15
Finally I can announce this - Day of the Triffids to be re-made as a 2-part drama with Dougray Scott, Brian Cox and Eddie Izzard amongst others. -- (link) - LMS Feb 11, 06:10 2

LIR mafic re: Foster's. It's like here. Who *honestly* drinks Molson Canadian? -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 06:03 23
- Fosters is actually good. I've never had Molsons. -- nm - Amy Feb 11, 06:36
- I used to drink Blue a lot. -- nm - Diva Feb 11, 06:26 3
  - Blue used to be very popular in upstate NY....I think it was like number 2 or 3 about 10-15 years ago. All the Buffalo people :P -- nm - Walt_Disney Feb 11, 06:29 1
    - Oh yeah, we loved it. -- nm - Diva Feb 11, 06:34
  - This answers my gang poll, too. nm - Dignan Feb 11, 06:27
- Not my first choice but its an easy fallback at most bars and pubs.....especially if "Premium Beers" cost an extra $5 per pitcher. -- nm - Walt_Disney Feb 11, 06:19
- I haven't drank it non-ironically in years. -- nm - Reagen Feb 11, 06:19
- Sadly, in the US people *actually* drink Bud. The US is like a safe haven for crappy beer, where it is welcomed with open arms. -- nm - TWuG Feb 11, 06:15 6
  - Worst American Beers......PBR or Milwaukee's Best......I cant drink either....Bud if its the only offered thing... - Walt_Disney Feb 11, 06:25 1
    - It's not even the best AB product. nm - Jim Feb 11, 06:32
  - it's ridiculous. -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 06:19
  - out of cans, even. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:18
  - Seriously. Plenty others to add to the list though Bud, Coors, Miller, plus all the crappy smaller ones (Iron City, Natural Light, etc.) -- nm - Don Homer Feb 11, 06:17 1
    - what's worse is when a place claims to not serve any of them, but serves Bud under their house name. -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 06:22
- thanks for buying this round! I don't mind that or Export or Bud. I honestly don't want beer that's too bitter so those work fine. - zork Feb 11, 06:15
- we had a ton of beer/wine left over from our party on Dec 20th. A lot of it is gone now, but, there is still a 6 pack of Canadian in the back of the - Andie Feb 11, 06:10 5
  - I mean, I'll drink it if someone gives me one or it's a last resort, but I'd never buy it on purpose :) -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 06:14 4
    - oh, i have. it's just that with other options, it just never got drank. -- nm - Andie Feb 11, 06:15 3
      - Your pretentious. nm - Dignan Feb 11, 06:16 2
        
        and gay. -- nm - Andie Feb 11, 06:17 1
        
        I knew it. nm - Dignan Feb 11, 06:18
- I do. nm - Dignan Feb 11, 06:10 1
  - *hands beer to Dignan* - Andie Feb 11, 06:11
filling out my taxes last night, i itemized a deduction for a contribution to "The Obscure Company." i just *know* this will trigger an audit. - prayformojo Feb 11, 06:03 1
- Don't even say that... -- nm - Diva Feb 11, 06:06
Oh, also - the live draft is Friday 3pm EST? Ick. -- nm - kelly Feb 11, 06:02 10
- Quit yer bitchin' - ty97 Feb 11, 06:04 9
  - Where are you?? -- nm - kelly Feb 11, 06:05 8
    - Currently, I'm in NC. - ty97 Feb 11, 06:05 7
      - Okay, I'm an idiot b/c I thought the draft was this Friday, not in March! - kelly Feb 11, 06:08 6
        
        I've inadvertantly done my good deed for the day, yay! - ty97 Feb 11, 06:13
