    - Or John Cusack vs. John Cryer -- nm - David Jul 18, 11:45 1
      - That one's easy. -- nm - the liioulu with helmet Jul 18, 11:46
And for a possibly contrarian viewpoint, I don't think that AHS leading the Emmy noms is a dire sign - JD Jul 18, 11:33

(note to self: learn the difference between Flashdance and Footloose) -- nm - Max Jul 18, 11:32 6

- I feel like I just wasted a half hour on you. -- nm - David Jul 18, 11:35

What I've heard of the 2nd season of American Horror Story suggested it was a mess. So of course... it gets the most Emmy noms. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jul 18, 11:14 5

        This is why I wear shorts. -- nm - the liioulu with helmet Jul 18, 11:32 2

  - Nobody cares, but my right shoulder has ached for a month and my right wrist is getting arthritic. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jul 18, 11:13 2
    - I care. I had a wrist protrusion a month ago that made we worried I'd broken a bone and it was reforming wrong, but it went away. Yours will too! -- nm - Max Jul 18, 11:20 1
      - I've had that for a while now, was a more regular occurence back when I was a barista though -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 11:26

- For my draft, I got my 1st and 4th rated WR's, QB insurance, and a WR1 with a great contract. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 18, 11:38
