is jeff who lives at home an enjoyable movie? -- nm - Truman Jul 5, 16:16
if I'm doing the math right, Despicable Me 2 only needs to do about $36 million between today and Sunday to break even on that other sight ... - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 5, 16:15 2
- No, 256.3 - 58.5 = 197.5 / 2.7 = 73.15. -- nm - GregW Jul 5, 16:28
- Nah, needs about 75mil - Will Hunting Jul 5, 16:25
Heh, Kobe's saying he would teach Dwight how to become a champion was a turn-off to Dwight. - Will Hunting Jul 5, 16:12 1
- Hey he doesn't want people to push him harder. He just wants to have some fun, man. He was killing his mello -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 16:14
I am laughing far more than I ever should at Ice Age 4. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 5, 16:03 5
- If you laughed once, you beat me. That was 80 minutes of misery. -- nm - David Jul 5, 16:15
- There are 4 of them? -- nm - ty97 Jul 5, 16:13
- So once? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 5, 16:09
- You're part of the problem! -- nm - Reagen Jul 5, 16:05 1
  - *hangs head* I know. I feel shame, but the Italy boot made a GOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL! -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 5, 16:06
Maybe my favorite blind item revealed, ever. -- (link) - nubby, Astro-lord, Kemosabe Jul 5, 15:43 7
- The Britney Spears/Lindsay Lohan one is sad -- nm - amoxy Jul 5, 15:54 1
  - Yeah. I want more threesome action with them. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jul 5, 15:59
- That just leaves further questions! - Hermes Jul 5, 15:45
- I thought you were referring to the one he just posted. -- nm - loosi at home Jul 5, 15:45 3
  - JLH? That's pretty good, too. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord, Kemosabe Jul 5, 15:48 2
    - Who was she dating? -- nm - amoxy Jul 5, 15:53 1
      - I noticed that part is missing. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jul 5, 15:59
IT'S RAINING HERE!!!!!! yay! -- nm - peglegpete Jul 5, 15:42
Goodbye Miami: By century's end, rising sea levels will turn the nation's urban fantasyland into an American Atlantis. -- (link) - ty97 Jul 5, 15:35 3
- Curbside cruise ship parking. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jul 5, 15:59
- As long as it's still there in November. -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 15:51
- No it's not. -- nm - GOP Jul 5, 15:41
The New York Public Library is being sued -- (link) - ty97 Jul 5, 15:26 3
- Dude, you do *not* mess with the research stacks at the main branch. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jul 5, 15:41 2
  - I have been in the Mid-Manhattan Library. I support any plan that involves closing it. -- nm - ty97 Jul 5, 15:45 1
    - Yeah, bulldoze that place. I don't care about the Mid-Manhattan Library. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jul 5, 15:51
Matt Damon! -- nm - amoxy Jul 5, 15:08 1
- You're fucking him? -- nm - JD Jul 5, 15:10
USA Today says Dwight Howard to Houston. - David Jul 5, 15:02 40
- Have they figured out yet that he actually makes more money there over the next 4 years -- nm - stewie Jul 5, 15:14 31
  - I'm surprised all pro athletes don't choose Texas, Florida, Washington and Tennessee as their landing spots. -- nm - David Jul 5, 15:18 30
    - Because it is Texas and Tennessee. Florida and Washington are OK -- nm - amoxy Jul 5, 15:40 1
      - How much time have you spent in Floribama? -- nm - ty97 Jul 5, 15:41
    - True, it helps some. Yet most states have a special law that taxes the player for being in that state for a game -- nm - Truman Jul 5, 15:31 6
      - 41 games you aren't though. So that is where you gain. -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 15:39 5
        
        True, though some cities do have their own income tax you might pay too - Truman Jul 5, 15:42 4
        
        Yes but the state has one too right? I don't know of any city that has one in a state that doesn't - Bacon Jul 5, 15:49 3
        
        AFAIK this is correct. None of the cities in 'no income tax' states have city income tax. -- nm - ty97 Jul 5, 15:51 2
        
        I got something right! *drops the keyboard and mouse, and just walks away* -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 15:52 1
        
        And in 12 hours you will be correct again. 12 hours after that too. :) -- nm - ty97 Jul 5, 15:55
    - I agree. It just makes fiscal sense if you are in that income bracket and you can choose. -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 15:29 20
      - You could say that for any job, in theory. Most job/living decisions go beyond single factor analysis though. - ty97 Jul 5, 15:31 19
        
        To a point. But I could move somewhere with no income tax but if the cost of living is higher then I lose. -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 15:38 18
        
        Quality/satisfaction of the job matters. Quality of living (not just cost wise) in the area matters. - ty97 Jul 5, 15:40 17
        
        I look at it this way. When your NBA career is over, then you move to where you want. If I could retire at 40 with 200 million dollars?SIGN ME UP - Bacon Jul 5, 15:45 16
        
        If you could retire at 40 with 180 million dollars and 3 rings rather than playing for a team with a 50% winning percentage.... - ty97 Jul 5, 15:47 9
        
        Houston is a better chance to win as well and there is no income tax. Win Win -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 15:48 8
        
        But at every player can play for Houston. (also, have you been to Houston?) -- nm - ty97 Jul 5, 15:49 7
        
        I have not been to Houston but I hear it's the armpit of Texas. Which goes to prove my point. Live in a crappy place to make more - Bacon Jul 5, 15:50 6
        
        So live the prime of your life in a place you may despise in order to make 200 million instead of 180 million? - ty97 Jul 5, 15:52 5
        
        houston sounds like it has amazing, diverse food and a great arts scene....nm - x Jul 5, 16:07
        
        I don't think I would despise any city with an NBA franchise. Okay, wait. Indiana Pacers. That place would be brutal. So no way on that place -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 15:55 3
        
        I am speaking theoretically, of course, of someone weight two options. - ty97 Jul 5, 15:58 2
        
        I will say this. I don't think I could live in NY so there is that. I am not a big city guy. I get claustrophobia -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 16:02 1
        
        I am not making an argument for any specific place. - ty97 Jul 5, 16:08
        
        Pick the worst place in the country. Everyone here would live there for 200 million dollars. Well not the dumb people with principles. - Bacon Jul 5, 15:46 5
        
        Just remember it's not 200 million vs 0. It's 200 million vs 90-95% of 200 million. - ty97 Jul 5, 15:48 4
        
        California has a Millionares tax that really digs into that much harder than what you are saying -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 15:49 3
        
        CA has a graduate system where the income over $1 million is taxed at 10.30% for an effective rate of roughly 10%. - ty97 Jul 5, 15:54 2
        
        Then you also have to compare sales taxes I would guess. He's going to spend a lot. -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 15:55 1
        
        Sure, and property taxes too. But those are probably a smaller differential. - ty97 Jul 5, 15:59
- Thanks, Bacon -- nm - con_carne Jul 5, 15:10 4
  - You guys will be better off without him. He's fool's gold. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 5, 15:25 2
    - That was the reason for my post -- (link) - con_carne Jul 5, 15:54 [Backboard]
    - This -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 15:28

- My life is forever changed. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord, Kemosabe Jul 5, 15:05
- are there pictures of his pen hitting the paper?...nm - x Jul 5, 15:04 1
  - Though don't league rules mean that you'll remain uninterested until mid of next week? -- nm - JD Jul 5, 15:09
Damn, no sugar to make my homemade ice cream but I have confectioner's sugar... Will that work? -- nm - Buzz Jul 5, 14:49 5
- You can but it has corn starch in it unlike granulated sugar. - Krusty Jul 5, 14:55 2
  - Thanks. I need 3/4th cup granulated sugar to dissolve into a cup of milk. I'm fearful what will happen when i put that instead. -- nm - Buzz Jul 5, 14:58 1
    - I'd try it and see what happens. -- nm - Krusty Jul 5, 15:59
- I am very doubtful -- nm - ty97 Jul 5, 14:55
- i don't know. i would think it might make the texture weird... - x Jul 5, 14:54
Greed over patriotism - City cancels its fireworks show due to budget cuts, resident pays for fireworks out of her pocket, city bills resident.... - CrankYanker Jul 5, 14:46 3
- a photog w/studio in seattle pioneer park tired of the stench of pee from partiers on her alley wall builds some urinal, gets arrested - zeitgeist Jul 5, 15:13
- Sounds reasonable to me. Should the city be forced to provided large security for any private function just becuase they used to be able to afford it - Will Hunting Jul 5, 14:48 1
  - I agree completely. -- nm - amanda Jul 5, 15:14
i think i'm gonna close the balcony door now it's been open for some 17 houers! -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jul 5, 14:36 2

- Wasn't there a question as to whether CDAN is on Twitter? -- (link) - Mop (190 lbs) Jul 5, 14:36 1
  - BTW, Enty gives Michael C. Hall a raw deal. Six Feet Under was as success. Not Dexter level, but should be considered. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jul 5, 14:43
Anyone getting spam from PSchwarz's Twitter? -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jul 5, 14:27 4

- yes -- nm - loosi at home Jul 5, 14:33 2
  - Should I bother contacting him or has he been alerted already? -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jul 5, 14:35 1
    - I didn't, but I would think someone has. -- nm - loosi at home Jul 5, 14:49
YahooSprts- Before GS deals, Dwight Howard had narrowed his choices to the Lakers and Rockets -- nm - budice Jul 5, 14:25 2
- look, just let me know when he actually puts pen to paper and signs somewhere. until then, i don't care....nm - x Jul 5, 14:31 1
  - And after he signs I still won't care. Please stick him on the Lakers to destroy them though. I guess I care about him destroying LA -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 14:34
