Nearly half of all US consumers over the age of 14 visited a McDonalds in March -- (link) - znufrii May 2, 09:52 9
- MORE! MOOOORE!!!!! -- nm - Ronald McDonald May 2, 10:00
- I can honestly say I have not visited a McDonalds in the past 15 March's -- nm - decline May 2, 09:53

In an insane society a sane man must appear insane. -- nm - Spawn May 2, 09:44 5
- in an insane society, maybe he IS the insane one. -- nm - loosilu May 2, 09:49
- a pot pie to a hungry man must appear delicious. -- nm - colin May 2, 09:46 3
  - no, it appears delicious regardless... -- nm - znufrii May 2, 09:51
  - If you tell a joke, but no one can tell you are kidding, you didn't tell a joke. -- nm - landbeck May 2, 09:50 1
    - if i say something wildly out of whack with what i've been saying in the same argument, surely i'm kidding. - colin May 2, 09:52
something tells me this might be an unappetizing as watching sausage being made... -- (link) - znufrii May 2, 09:31 2

Let's raise the game. Dinner with Nicholson or Clooney? -- nm - loosilu May 2, 09:20 22
- my dad could have been a Jack impersonator -- nm - zeitgeist May 2, 14:26
- Clooney is cool but I get the feeling he'd be closed lipped. Get some alcohol in him and I bet Jack is an open book. -- nm - Max May 2, 09:55 1
  - "Did her, did her, did her, didn't do her yet but want to, did her..." -- nm - Don Homer May 2, 09:56
- Nicholson! -- nm - colin May 2, 09:47
- Clooney. Jack sorta annoys me. -- nm - ty97 May 2, 09:46
- Clooney. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) May 2, 09:45
- Clooney -- nm - Epiphany May 2, 09:28
- Clooney -- nm - amoxy May 2, 09:27
- Clooney and it's not close. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 2, 09:27
- Clooney. -- nm - MDH May 2, 09:24
- I'm gonna say Clooney (even with time machine option). -- nm - loosilu May 2, 09:24
- That's a tough one... Jack -- nm - con_carne May 2, 09:23
- today: Clooney. But I would choose the Nicholson circa 1974 version. -- nm - Don Homer May 2, 09:23
- Time machine available? Jack. Otherwise, Clooney. -- nm - Spawn May 2, 09:22 8
  - agreed. - Mel Profit May 2, 09:31 3
    - Yup. Clooney is cool. Jack was hella-fun. -- nm - Spawn May 2, 09:32 2
      - but it would take 70s/80s era Jack to make me turn down hanging out with Clooney. - Mel Profit May 2, 09:37 1
        
        Jack now would kinda scare me. -- nm - Spawn May 2, 09:37
  - heh. great minds? -- nm - Don Homer May 2, 09:23 3
    - [deleted] 2
      - minds great? -- nm - Don Homer May 2, 09:27 1

NBC has identified Seth Meyers, Andy Cohen, and Nick Cannon as potential replacements for Jimmy Fallon on "Late Night." - MDH May 2, 09:10 3
- Give it to Seth. The consolation prize for not getting Regis's seat next to Kelly is *SO* much better. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) May 2, 09:45
- Yeah, that feels like a bad move. He's torture. -- nm - volnelk May 2, 09:13 1
  - Him or Cannon, I will never watch the show at all. For Seth, I would give it a try. -- nm - Spawn May 2, 09:15
ty97 poll: Tom Cruise of Mel Gibson -- nm - ty97 May 2, 09:09 12
- Tom. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) May 2, 09:46
- [deleted]
- shoot the hostage -- nm - Spawn May 2, 09:17 3
  - shoot Tom, nuke the Mel from orbit -- nm - mud May 2, 09:28
  - "Nobody follow us or I kill myself and then her!" -- nm - Qale May 2, 09:21 1
    - " with me. without me" -- nm - Epiphany May 2, 09:28
- cruise -- nm - Epiphany May 2, 09:16
- movie wise? Gibson in a romp -- nm - Beaker May 2, 09:13
- Tom -- nm - LMS May 2, 09:10
- Tom Cruise. -- nm - MDH May 2, 09:10
- Cruise -- nm - amoxy May 2, 09:10
- Tom. -- nm - loosilu May 2, 09:09
Doubt anyone here remembers Lonnie Donegan (LMS?) but an earlier thread brought this to mind... - Meg May 2, 09:03 1
- Skiffle guy, sure. -- nm - LMS May 2, 09:07
Dan Patrick Poll: Gwyneth Paltrow or Anne Hathaway for a date? -- nm - amoxy May 2, 08:56 21
- gwn is a self absorbed veggie mom without a clue what she thinks is important costs more than the average mom makes, anne used to be mafia moll -- nm - zeitgeist May 2, 14:29
- Am I gonna score? If so, Anne. If not, Gwyneth. -- nm - Spawn May 2, 09:16 3
  - Removing scoring from the mix actually moves it more in favor of Anne for me. Gwyneth would just talk your head off about veganity and her parenting. -- nm - Ender May 2, 09:30 2
    - Opposite for me. If it's all conversation, I get the feeling that Anne would be faking it the entire time and not hiding it well. - Max May 2, 09:42
    - After Anne's moves to get an Oscar, I really don't think I care to listen to her. - Spawn May 2, 09:37
- Anne -- nm - Jovian May 2, 09:08
- Anne. -- nm - loosilu May 2, 09:08
- Anne. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) May 2, 09:06
- Anne, and I wouldn't think twice -- nm - budice May 2, 09:05
- Anne. -- nm - MDH May 2, 09:03
- Havoc re-enactin' Annie -- nm - prayformojo May 2, 09:02
- Gwyneth. -- nm - Andie May 2, 09:02 1
  - definitely -- nm - zork May 2, 09:04
- Anne's been one of future ex-wives since Get Smart. -- nm - Was Bar Was May 2, 09:02
- I would go with Anne also. Surprising most of them on the show said Gwyneth -- nm - amoxy May 2, 09:00
- I"m shooting the hostage -- nm - Epiphany May 2, 09:00
- Threesome. -- nm - David May 2, 08:59 1
  - easiest answer ever -- nm - Beaker May 2, 09:18
- anne. so i can slap her a few times. she likes it though. -- nm - colin May 2, 08:58
- I would have Anne's babies -- nm - ty97 May 2, 08:58
- anne -- nm - tRuMaN May 2, 08:57
I almost bought this couch. But I think it is too small to lay down on. -- (link) - ty97 May 2, 08:56 7
- Indeed. I need something comfy to sleep on. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) May 2, 10:04
- depends on if you're expecting to fully stretch out. I'd expect to have to bend the legs and that my head would be angled up against the side - zork May 2, 09:08
- you should go to the IKEA in Brooklyn and see if they have a display model you can test out. -- nm - znufrii May 2, 08:57 4
  - I went over the weekend for my cursory look. I am probably commuting their again tonight - ty97 May 2, 08:58 3
    - closer than the one by Newark Airport you used to have to go to. -- nm - znufrii May 2, 08:59 2
      - True. That one has a weekend shuttle from PA, but who knows what tunnel traffic will be like -- nm - ty97 May 2, 09:01 1
        
        I don't know I'd ever looked at Ikea's website but I'm thinking new TV stand....... - Meg May 2, 09:23
Happy 15th anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts! - loosilu May 2, 08:55 1

That "science experiment" involved aluminum foil and drain cleaner. Anyone savvy enough to know the components knows they're making a bomb. -- (link) - landbeck May 2, 08:53 24
- In 8th grade my friends and I called multiple chem companies with the story we needed raw materials for making crystals in science class. - Max May 2, 09:41
- it creates gasses that can build up and pop the vessel they're in. you can do the same thing with an air compressor and a 2-liter bottle. - colin May 2, 08:56
- As long as the punishment matches exactly what a same-aged white boy would get, or possibly what Mythbusters would get, then it's fine. - Beryllium May 2, 08:55
- anyone savvy enough would know that the small amounts of those components would create a reaction, not a bomb. -- nm - zork May 2, 08:54 20

    - suspension for not being properly supervised, I can see the case for that. - znufrii May 2, 09:01 10
      - [deleted] 3
        
        I think to justify expulsion you would need some sort of threat, anti-social behavior, or malicious intent. - znufrii May 2, 09:07 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        your IM is what I was thinking too -- nm - zork May 2, 09:09
      - word. -- nm - Jim May 2, 09:02
      - right. Suspension, ok. Expulsion, *far* too much. -- nm - Don Homer May 2, 09:02 4
        
        this, although it sounds like she was a model student before this. I'd give her a serious talking to and some detention. -- nm - zork May 2, 09:03 3
        
        this would be my preferred outcome as well. -- nm - znufrii May 2, 09:04
        
        I'd be even more ok with that. -- nm - Don Homer May 2, 09:04 1
        
        ayup -- nm - Jim May 2, 09:05
    - What about charging her with a felony and trying her as an adult? -- nm - Jim May 2, 08:57 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        sounds like co-conspirator talk. i'm calling the FBI. -- nm - colin May 2, 08:59
  - should my chem teacher have been arrested for showing why grain elevators go kaboom by blowing the lid off a paint can? -- nm - zork May 2, 08:55 4
    - yes. -- nm - colin May 2, 08:57 3
      - seriously? yet, with proper training kids can have guns? - zork May 2, 09:02 2
        
        i'm joking. i do that a lot here.. -- nm - colin May 2, 09:43
        
        It's almost as if Colin on b2 had a completely different opinion on the matter. Heh. -- nm - Qale May 2, 09:17

One last Survivor tidbit...don't be shocked at the finale when you see (not really spoils, but fine...spoils) - Jim May 2, 08:51
Spawn, Iron Man 3 in 3D? Yes or no? I need to make the call! -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro May 2, 08:48 2
- 2D but on a big screen. -- nm - LMS May 2, 08:57
- I saw it in 3D. Seeing it in IMAX 3D tonight. I am not a fan as my brain tends to process 2D into 3D anyway. - Spawn May 2, 08:51

Ron Swanson, trying to eat a banana -- nm - prayformojo May 2, 08:47 7
- We've seen this, right? -- (link) - Mop on Mac Pro May 2, 08:48 [Backboard] 1
  - at least they have a cute name instead of "the official parody" -- nm - colin May 2, 08:50
- not cheating -- nm - Spawn May 2, 08:48 4
  - now, if he shoved the banana up his ass, on the other hand.... nm -- nm - groiny May 2, 08:48 3
    - [deleted]
    - Only the banana would be cheating in that case. -- nm - ty97 May 2, 08:49 1
      - but the banana was not married in a church! nm -- nm - groiny May 2, 08:50
