My LIR response about UFC 157. Watching the prelims but not buying the ppv. Main event will be lousy for 2 reasons... - ceregon Feb 22, 13:26 21
- So, how do they change the problem with Women's MMA? - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 22, 13:58 4
  - They have to build the division and not build a star. Most fans couldn't name more than 3 female fighters. - ceregon Feb 22, 14:11 3
    - Not to be too harsh, but it sounds like sour grapes, because she's getting a break that they're not. - Stephen Feb 22, 14:15 2
      - I agree about the sour grapes, but what if they put on a ppv and nobody watches? - ceregon Feb 22, 14:18 1
        
        Then it will probably be a while before a woman headlines another UFC PPV. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 22, 14:32
- I know what would make female MMA work. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Feb 22, 13:36
- Rousey's special becuase she is marketable and wants to fight. She got a title fight for the same reason Brock Lesnar got one - Will Hunting Feb 22, 13:35 5
  - Or, to sum up in a single image... -- (link) - Mop (190 lbs) Feb 22, 13:39 [Image] 4
    - cropped not one more pixel than it had to be. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 13:49 1
      - every time I think my mouse scroll bar is broken. - Mel Profit Feb 22, 14:07
    - single point analysis is no good. you need to give us more examples. many more examples - dogbert Feb 22, 13:49 1
      - is the ``single point analysis`that thing under her eyeÉ -- nm - Beaker Feb 22, 13:52
- I stopped buying ufc ppv when they gave lesnar a title bout with a 1-1 record. even if I was still buying them I wouldn't be running to buy this main - dogbert Feb 22, 13:32 4
  - I think they only end up with 3 or 4 shows a year that are really worth buying... a discounted full year of PPVs would be nice -- nm - SG3 Feb 22, 13:34 3
    - They so need a changing of the guard in a few of their divisions - Will Hunting Feb 22, 13:39 2
      - I would disagree there... they do need stars vs. the belt trading around constantly - SG3 Feb 22, 13:45 1
        
        I think there's a happy medium between established champions and the uber-champs. - Will Hunting Feb 22, 13:52
- She's headlining a PPV for the same reason Brock did... cause of name recognition - SG3 Feb 22, 13:32 3
  - Brock had way more name recognition than she does. Most fans were upset he got that title shot too. -- nm - ceregon Feb 22, 13:37 2
    - Sure, but it's not about her vs. Brock... it's her vs whoever would have headlined otherwise - SG3 Feb 22, 13:44 1
      - Henderson fights sell pretty well, so do Faber. - ceregon Feb 22, 13:45
People want to know, what color of eyeliner did ml get for his fancy dress court days? -- nm - Truman Feb 22, 13:23 14
- emerald - it's the pantone color of the year, and sephora is all over it. (he should have bought some jack black lip balm, too - good stuff.) -- nm - b. Feb 22, 13:33 10
  - oh, this makes me happy. -- nm - loosilu Feb 22, 13:36 9
    - their collection isn't yet out, but here's their page for some "inspired bys" nm but: -- (link) - b. Feb 22, 13:39 8

        oh, i might need that. in blue. for my toes. -- nm - Andie Feb 22, 13:58
        
        hmmm, not sure about those. might look like freckles, since I already have freckled hands. -- nm - loosilu Feb 22, 13:55 4
        
        here are a bunch of images. nm but: -- (link) - b. Feb 22, 14:00 3
        
        oh, and I meant to say that they're from the brand's "imperfection" collection; and the marketing for it includes freckled models. nm but: -- (link) - b. Feb 22, 14:02 2
        
        that is, uh, not exactly wearable. :) it does look like freckly nails. -- nm - loosilu Feb 22, 14:13 1
        
        yah, I always wonder why they/MAC/others go that route. most of the actual items are totally wearable, yet they go over the top with the marketing - b. Feb 22, 14:34
- copper -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 22, 13:27 1
  - ok, fine...how about "blue steel" would you believe..."magnum" (i know, its the same damn look but there it is -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 22, 13:47
- I like dark gray for guyliner. -- nm - loosilu Feb 22, 13:24
Virginia folks: Today is Open Carry Friday in Virginia. Gun owners are celebrating by going to Starbucks with their guns. -- (link) - loosilu Feb 22, 13:22 11
- ~I'm wavin' my dick in the wind...~ -- nm - znufrii Feb 22, 13:38
- I suppose that is better than celebrating national margarita day -- nm - con_carne Feb 22, 13:34 2
  - yes, it's better if they don't mix. -- nm - Andie Feb 22, 13:37 1
    - oh, by the way, open carry is legal in VA state liquor stores. -- nm - loosilu Feb 22, 13:53
- orders a six shot grande'stand....looks around to see if any think they have a 30 shot capacity -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 22, 13:30
- Good for Starbucks. Not the first brand I would've thought of to support this position. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 22, 13:29 5
  - they don't. -- nm - loosilu Feb 22, 13:30 4
    - They certainly appear to. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 22, 13:34 3
      - they just aren't stopping it. -- nm - loosilu Feb 22, 13:35 2
        
        Heh. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 22, 13:37
        
        i certainly wouldn't insist my minimum-wage-earning employees try to convince a group of people opening carrying guns to leave. -- nm - Andie Feb 22, 13:36
"I used to encourage everyone I knew to make art; I don't do that so much anymore." -- nm - David Feb 22, 13:21 3
- Everything I do, somewhere it brainwash your face! -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 13:23 1
  - look! Mr Brainwash has a website: -- (link) - Andie Feb 22, 13:24
