PPP did a food poll in which they discovered that Americans' choose KFC of Chick-Fil-A 33 to 32. -- nm - ty97 Feb 25, 09:01 4
- 33 to 32? what kind of freaking stat is that? -- nm - Beaker Feb 25, 09:02 1
  - percentages, I assume -- nm - Don Homer Feb 25, 09:06
- (I can only imagine that's because KFC has a bazillion times more restaurants. Because CFA is far better) -- nm - ty97 Feb 25, 09:02 1
  - Hell Yes - even if I can't eat there cause it's anti gay chicken. - Epiphany Feb 25, 09:07

Have we seen Jennifer Lawrence getting interview-bombed by Jack? -- (link) - ty97 Feb 25, 08:56 [youtube] 3
- "I'm looking for the mens room......too late" -- nm - Beaker Feb 25, 09:00
- I'm with groiny, she's awesome -- nm - oblique Feb 25, 08:59 1
  - I think I would sell everything I own if I could have her. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 25, 09:03
Canadian legal drama: Grieving mom fights Ottawa over lawsuit for slain daughter (Govt argues Charter rights are extinguished at death) -- (link) - Beaker Feb 25, 08:53 2
- Seems there's a case here, but maybe not a charter case. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Feb 25, 08:56 1
  - the precedent one way or the other will be very interesting -- nm - Beaker Feb 25, 08:58
The Onion is apparently apologizing for the tweet last night -- (link) - oblique Feb 25, 08:53 31
- I really don't get why people didn't get that joke. - TFox Feb 25, 08:55 22
  - I got it. I am not surprised people overreacted. -- nm - ty97 Feb 25, 08:59 1
    - This' -- nm - amoxy Feb 25, 09:00
  - Yeah, I didn't think it was out-of-bounds. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Feb 25, 08:59
  - actually, i think that sort of crosses a line. - Andie Feb 25, 08:59 7
    - i don't think there's anything all that magical about that word, except that because it's not as common, it packs more oomph. - TFox Feb 25, 09:00 5
      - that word pushes particular buttons. They knew and paid the price for it. - Mel Profit Feb 25, 09:02 3
        
        i get that. it's a main reason i like coming up with my own words, because when they get repeated into submission, they're not useful anymore. - TFox Feb 25, 09:05
        
        right, i get the joke, i don't care that they made fun of a 9 year old, it is strictly the word-choice. -- nm - Andie Feb 25, 09:03 1
        
        and it's particularly a failure because the entire joke was that word. - Mel Profit Feb 25, 09:06
      - just speaking for me (and many people I know), it's an extra special word. - loosilu Feb 25, 09:01
    - yeah, it's the word choice. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 09:00
  - (I'm not saying it's the pinnacle of comedy or anything, but like... chill out, people.) -- nm - TFox Feb 25, 08:55 10
    - It would be one thing in an adult comedy club, but it was on a forum open to all ages. -- nm - Max Feb 25, 09:04
    - meh - znufrii Feb 25, 08:58 7
      - She'was the only kid. I mean, what jackass out there really thinks a kid is a c***? -- nm - CQ Feb 25, 09:00 3
        
        if someone joking tweeted that about your daughter, would you laugh it off? -- nm - Andie Feb 25, 09:00 2
        
        i mean, probably, because it's so ludicrous. same reason i love making fat jokes to incredibly thin and gorgeous women. - TFox Feb 25, 09:02
        
        If my daughter was up for an Oscar at her age? Yep. It's the Onion being the Onion. -- nm - CQ Feb 25, 09:02
      - for that joke, it was a perfectly chosen target. -- nm - TFox Feb 25, 08:59 1
        
        Maybe I just don't get it. What's the joke outside of calling the child that name? What is there to get about that? -- nm - Elvis Feb 25, 09:03
      - that's why they did it -- nm - Beaker Feb 25, 08:58
    - How dare you endanger a child! A child! Think of the poor precious children. Their poor poor ears. The Children dammit! -- nm - CQ Feb 25, 08:57
- Unless they're joking! -- nm - mara Feb 25, 08:55
- i actually missed this - what did it say? -- nm - Andie Feb 25, 08:54 6
  - I know they called wallis a cunt. I tried to google for it but her name is so damn stupid I can't spell it well enough to even get it toauto complete -- nm - amanda Feb 25, 08:56
  - Here, Salon screencapped it. -- (link) - loosilu Feb 25, 08:56
  - inside - Don Homer Feb 25, 08:56 2
    - they'll be lucky if some of the monsters in her movie don't show up at their house... - Beaker Feb 25, 08:57 1
      - I still don't know. -- nm - Diva Feb 25, 08:59

Dream Casting: JGL and Amy Adams in The Last Five Years -- nm - znufrii Feb 25, 08:50 6
- My dream casting was Streep and Julia Roberts in August Osage County, they might as well give Streep the Oscar now. -- nm - MDH Feb 25, 08:55
- he would really need to work on his dancing. -- nm - amanda Feb 25, 08:51 4
  - "That's what passes for a Bandy Twist for you, huh, JGL?" *snort* -- nm - TFox Feb 25, 08:54 1
    - it's just so unnecessarily mean! don't be *mean.* -- nm - amanda Feb 25, 08:54
  - not for that show, no. -- nm - znufrii Feb 25, 08:52 1
    - oh, then the casting is perfect! perfect! as long as he doesn't crap all over the stage with his misdances all is cool. -- nm - amanda Feb 25, 08:53
heh, our new beat toy on .com (jmk from lux) just messaged me asking for us to stop pillaging him -- nm - Beaker Feb 25, 08:50 3
- should i join ikariam again? i got bored last time.. game is better now? -- nm - colin Feb 25, 08:51 2
  - nope. I really have no idea why I'm still playing. Winter, I guess :) -- nm - CQ Feb 25, 08:55
  - we're just in a war. Mel would have an account for you if interested -- nm - Beaker Feb 25, 08:55

- it was painful to watch. -- nm - Andie Feb 25, 08:52 3
  - Tell us about Twitter again. Please, ask these unsuspecting celebrities to guess what's in the box. Who's best dressed so far according to the poll? -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Feb 25, 08:53 2
    - also "I am short!" -- nm - Andie Feb 25, 08:53 1
      - Holy ass, she is fucking annoying. -- nm - Shaun Feb 25, 08:57
- she was unwatchable. Except for when Adele tried to gobble her up -- nm - Beaker Feb 25, 08:47 1
  - OM-NOM-NOM! -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Feb 25, 08:53
- Hathaway correctly guessed: Dorothy's shoes -- nm - Max Feb 25, 08:47
- spoiler. - loosilu Feb 25, 08:47
AICN is reporting that the little girl from Beasts of the Southern Wild has been cast as Annie. -- nm - volnelk Feb 25, 08:44 9
- And in this I learned that AICN is still a website. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 25, 08:47 3
  - Proving that my internet habits die super hard, I have literally never been able to kick my habit of checking AICN. -- nm - TFox Feb 25, 08:52 1
    - Same -- nm - volnelk Feb 25, 08:59

I haven't seen all the pics, but last night's fashion was the tamest in years, right? No men dressed as women, no women dressed as birds/credit cards -- nm - Max Feb 25, 08:43 2
- I thought Halle Berry's dress brought some va va va voom -- nm - JenBro Feb 25, 08:49

- (Oscar Pick 'ems, that is.) -- nm - JaxSean Feb 25, 08:46
Max, I didn't mean your requirement. I was just wondering if the Academy still required that. I think they used to. -- nm - mara Feb 25, 08:42 3
- that's interesting. Now I'm off looking for a list of actors who aren't members of the Academy. -- nm - Max Feb 25, 08:45 2
  - As an example, David Letterman's appearance in Cabin Boy qualified him to host. I have no idea if this is true, though. -- nm - mara Feb 25, 08:51
  - that would be a pretty large list, I think. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 25, 08:47
Turns out that Banksy that was 'stolen' was a couple of miles away from me, so I went to check out the replacement this weekend. - LMS Feb 25, 08:38

Who was it that helped Jennifer Lawrence up after she tripped? -- nm - prayformojo Feb 25, 08:36 15
- Jackman...someone in my house went back and checked. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 25, 08:38 12
  - So Cooper is actually the Nice Guy! - Mel Profit Feb 25, 08:41 1
    - no, they both jumped up to help. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 08:43
  - I went back and watched quite a few times but failed to notice who helped her up. -- nm - Spawn Feb 25, 08:40 1
    - I really thought it was Jackman, whoa. -- nm - MDH Feb 25, 08:41
  - Here's the clip, it's Cooper. -- (link) - loosilu Feb 25, 08:40 7
    - Hugh Jackman got caught on camera jumping up to help. From these angles, I see that Cooper was there, too. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Feb 25, 08:46
    - Don't see him helping her up. -- nm - Spawn Feb 25, 08:42 5
      - You can see it better here. -- (link) - loosilu Feb 25, 08:42 4
        
        looks like they both ran to help but she got herself up. -- nm - Diva Feb 25, 08:43 1
        
        could be, hard to tell. but Cooper got furthest. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 08:44
        
        So, nobody helped her up? -- nm - Spawn Feb 25, 08:43 1
        
        She probably just did a forehead pushup, and voila. -- nm - Shaun Feb 25, 08:58
- Hugh and Bradley both ran up, Bradley helped her up. - loosilu Feb 25, 08:37
- Hugh Jackman? -- nm - Don Homer Feb 25, 08:36

LIR groiny: Halo: I need to figure out why my effectiveness is so all over the place in slayer - oblique Feb 25, 08:34 16
- like what is the difference in the 2? - groiny Feb 25, 08:43 1
  - It has to be along those lines. I was cleaning up on Regicide last night (won a few games as king even) but I have the advantage there of - oblique Feb 25, 08:46
- my guess, is that you are noit using your loadouts effectively. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 25, 08:37 10
  - I enjoyed the shield a few times when people would continue to hammer at me and then a teammate would come up from behind and take them out - oblique Feb 25, 08:44 9
    - i want to say that - tRuMaN Feb 25, 08:46 4
      - I was referring more to the instinct that my loadout button is a "failsafe" reaction for me. I used Armor Lock to save myself from possible death - oblique Feb 25, 08:55 3
        
        and yet, i used the thruster pack to totally flammox david for the first few mins of a game - tRuMaN Feb 25, 08:58 2
        
        I even considered it last night while playing Regicide going for my melee kills that I wasn't quite closing the distance to people - oblique Feb 25, 09:02
        
        I need to work on thruster more I think -- nm - oblique Feb 25, 08:59
    - if you are going to snipe, I highly suggest active camo and ammo loadouts. - groiny Feb 25, 08:46 3
      - camo, ammo, and ordinance switching is a great idea for a sniper. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 25, 08:47 1
        
        I'm working on that spec right now. halfway there -- nm - oblique Feb 25, 08:47
      - I've gone back and forth with camo -- nm - oblique Feb 25, 08:47
- i think you must not be referring to your swat games from the other night - tRuMaN Feb 25, 08:36 2
  - No, not in our 4x4 games - oblique Feb 25, 08:37 1
    - well, i know its hard to get kills on exile when we control the gaus, so throw away those games. - tRuMaN Feb 25, 08:41

Amanda, part of my past dislike of Chastain's looks are she picks things that draw attention to her palenss - Will Hunting Feb 25, 08:30 1

Today's going to be a weird day. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Feb 25, 08:30
It's crazy when I realize Clooney does not have a Best Actor win. I think he gets at least 1, but he just seems to be less decorated than expected. -- nm - MDH Feb 25, 08:30 10
- The Facts of Life handyman is Hollywood elite. That's shock enough. Don't push it. -- nm - ty97 Feb 25, 08:49
- He is one of only two people to have an Oscar nomination in six different categories. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 25, 08:34 7

    - Walt Disney, though it may need an asterisk: - Don Homer Feb 25, 08:43

    - picture, director, actor, supp actor, adapted/original screenplay. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 25, 08:36 3
      - He's second on the my list of "Fine older hollywood men that I would hook up with list." -- nm - MDH Feb 25, 08:39 2
        
        First is Bradley Cooper. - TFox Feb 25, 08:42 1
        
        First is Clive Owen -- nm - MDH Feb 25, 08:48
- He's only been Clooney for about 8 years - Will Hunting Feb 25, 08:32
I really wonder how Brandi Glanville got a ticket for hte actual Oscars. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 08:30 2
