  - correllation is not causation. -- nm - loosilu May 28, 08:22
  - *nodding* -- nm - kelly May 28, 08:22
- Eh. -- nm - kelly May 28, 08:19
- I'm no fan of diet soda by any means, but two liters a day is a *lot*. -- nm - Don Homer May 28, 08:17 4
  - it really isn't, if that is all you drink. nm -- nm - groiny May 28, 08:19 3
    - Who in their right mind only drinks one thing, though? -- nm - Spawn May 28, 08:22

Nice. My invisible shield for my phone just arrived. Installation tonight! -- nm - Shaun May 28, 08:16 7
- People still waste money on that? -- nm - Spawn May 28, 08:18
- with the current generation of gorilla glass do you really need this? -- nm - decline May 28, 08:17 3
  - I honestly don't think so. If you do something bad enough to crack GG2 or 3 then a piece of plastic over it isn't going to help. -- nm - Ender May 28, 08:25
  - For the cost, why wouldn't I shield up my phone? -- nm - Shaun May 28, 08:19 1
    - Sometimes it affects the response of the touch screen. It's your choice, it won't hurt. But new phones don't need them anymore. - Krusty May 28, 08:23
- you should take a video of the installation and put it on youtube. -- nm - Don Homer May 28, 08:16 1
  - No. -- nm - Shaun May 28, 08:17

- Without clicking, that is not his first one. -- nm - Spawn May 28, 08:11 2
  - Maybe Peyton should be more focused on SB wins than hole-in-ones. -- nm - The Wrong Manning May 28, 08:13 1
    - I know, right? He really should have just gone into the game at DB and saved that game. -- nm - Jim May 28, 08:19

- The WNBA limits dunks, right? Like, if you dunk too much, they don't count? -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord, koozie aficionado May 28, 08:08 2
  - (I guess not. I thought I heard that somewhere.) -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord, koozie aficionado May 28, 08:12 1

  - She's brining the WNBA back! -- nm - MDH May 28, 08:08
Side note: I loathe Lana Del Ray, but her song in Gatsby is perfect for that movie. -- nm - MDH May 28, 07:59 2

- ML? -- nm - Spawn May 28, 08:05
Is Revolution ever ending? -- nm - David May 28, 07:59 2
- heh. I said the same exact thing last night when I saw another promo -- nm - Jovian May 28, 08:03 1
  - ditto. I also noticed Mike & Molly's new episode looking lonely on the grid this week. All spring shows should end the Friday before Memorial Day. - Max May 28, 08:37

- I would pay good money to have been in that truck. -- nm - Spawn May 28, 08:18
- ok, holy crap, how did the truck not get picked up? -- nm - loosilu May 28, 08:11 4
  - i heard this morning it was some huge tank like contraption, but even still it pulled the 'lid' off and ripped up an instrument panel. - Andie May 28, 08:14 3
    - ok, the guy replied in comments. - loosilu May 28, 08:16 1
      - yeah, it's a tank -- nm - decline May 28, 08:16

- they're insane, but I appreciate their videos. -- nm - loosilu May 28, 08:10
- But you functioning brain that tells you to flee danger? - Krusty May 28, 08:00 1
  - *have a* Clearly, I don't. :-( -- nm - Krusty May 28, 08:01
Catching up of the last few days, the TV series Borgen is excellent (like The West Wing if written by a pessimist) and Lockout is a guilty pleasure. -- nm - LMS May 28, 07:54
Some photos from the beach last week... -- (link) - Don Homer May 28, 07:48 [flickr]
At The Flaming Lips gig last night someone had an epileptic fit. Apparently it's not a rare occurance at the gigs. - LMS May 28, 07:42 3
- Good show? -- nm - Don Homer May 28, 07:48 1
  - I'm not loving the new stuff, and they didn't play many past hits, but still a entertaining show. Here's their cover of Heroes. -- (link) - LMS May 28, 07:53 [youtube]
- In fact, the show is deemed a failure if someone does NOT have one. -- nm - Spawn May 28, 07:43
Sadly, my Songs in the Key of Springfield CD is not worth anything on the resale market. -- nm - Qale May 28, 07:41 3
- Making fun of mark snow, are they? -- nm - Beryllium May 28, 08:01
- Why would you want to sell such a wonderful album? - Krusty May 28, 07:47 1
  - I probably couldn't even if it was. The case is almost reduced to Smithers-eens. -- nm - Qale May 28, 08:18
The Voice - thoughts for tonight (spoils...not sure these are spoils but just in case) - capstern May 28, 07:40 1

  - Verizon? -- nm - Spawn May 28, 08:09 2
    - Nope. I'd never heard of this company. -- nm - TWuG May 28, 08:11 1
      - *phew* -- nm - Spawn May 28, 08:12
  - Olympus for camera. -- nm - Don Homer May 28, 08:09 2
    - yup. Cell phones have pretty much killed the point-and-shoot camera industry -- nm - decline May 28, 08:10
    - That's the one. -- nm - TWuG May 28, 08:09
- More hints: The automaker is European. There's a sports league on the list. A cell provider and an internet deals site. A camera company. A home - TWuG May 28, 08:00 19
  - Groupon or Living Social. Both are valid. -- nm - David May 28, 08:04 4
    - I'm surprised livingsocial hasn't suffered more from the account theft -- nm - Beryllium May 28, 08:05
    - Living Social is on the list. -- nm - TWuG May 28, 08:04 2
      - that's a shame; it seems to be a far better company than groupon imo. -- nm - Don Homer May 28, 08:06 1
        
        That's no high hurdle :) -- nm - Beryllium May 28, 08:06

      - Even his IM? -- nm - Inigo May 28, 08:07 1
        
        Nope. Neither on the list -- nm - TWuG May 28, 08:09
    - I thought Kodak was already done, or am I misremembering? -- nm - Don Homer May 28, 08:03 4
      - They're just clearing bankruptcy hurdles now. Corporations are like the undead; the brand can live on... - Beryllium May 28, 08:05
      - company is still there - in bankruptcy. They've sold off a good portion of their patents but are still making some products -- nm - decline May 28, 08:04 2
        
        yep. they are getting like a half a billion for their digital image patents....nm - x May 28, 08:07

    - Car and Driver? -- nm - Inigo May 28, 08:00 3

      - No -- nm - TWuG May 28, 07:58
- Royal Carribbean. - David May 28, 07:49 4

    - You've got the wrong company. Carnival is the sh*t one. RC is much better, and handled their fire and pr, world's better. -- nm - Don Homer May 28, 07:56 1
      - Huh. I guess I know less about cruise ship companies than I thought. Oh, well, none are on the list. -- nm - TWuG May 28, 07:58

- was it Mitsubishi that announced it was leaving the US auto market, i think it was, so them. -- nm - tRuMaN May 28, 07:43 4
  - I'm guessing you looked at the list before 'guessing'? -- nm - Don Homer May 28, 07:47 2
    - i guess i should stop participating - tRuMaN May 28, 07:55
    - no. two auto brands have announced they are leaving the US - tRuMaN May 28, 07:53
  - Correct. It's on the list. -- nm - TWuG May 28, 07:46

- Local radio station went over the list this morn (so I won't post) - but I was very surprised by a couple of these -- nm - decline May 28, 07:40 1
  - They put this list out annually and always go for home runs so that they have bragging rights if it happens. - spamlet May 28, 07:49
Fast and Furious 6: A-, The Great Gastby: B+ -- nm - MDH May 28, 07:35 3
- Did you like the last 30 sec of FF6? -- nm - capstern May 28, 07:41 2
  - I knew it was coming, but yes, the crowd went absolutely haywire (the scene after the credits) -- nm - MDH May 28, 07:50

    - The only issue I've had with an LG is my wireless mouse haha -- nm - MDH May 28, 07:37
  - Yeesh. I'm glad they're all working well for you. - Krusty May 28, 07:29 4
    - Yeah, and I did some google searches before I bought them and they rated well for the price group they were in -- nm - Bacon May 28, 07:30 3
      - All that matters is that you're getting good life from them and they're doing their job well. - Krusty May 28, 07:33 2
