    - And I stole it from VC Andrews! -- nm - Qale Jul 29, 10:41
- She's also not in a Disney animated movie. -- nm - spamlet Jul 29, 09:58 14
  - well, can an argument be made for it now, since they bought out the SW stuff? - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 29, 10:06 12
    - Yes, but she's not in a Disney animated movie. That defines the princesses. -- nm - spamlet Jul 29, 10:06 8
      - Yeah, that's pretty much it. I don't think even Pixar really counts* - Jim Jul 29, 10:09 7
        
        Pixar counts, but Marvel doesn't. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jul 29, 10:19

A little bit of Sherlock casting - it's a Mikkelsen. -- (link) - LMS Jul 29, 09:24
Hey Jim, re b2. Any mls cards for sporting kc players are hot here at least - Truman Jul 29, 09:16 10
- Sweet, thanks. Topps is making a big deal out of this set as I guess there aren't any other MLS sets out there. - Jim Jul 29, 09:25 8
  - I wonder if it would be worth investing for a year or two before demand potentially goes up. In spite of the knocks, MLS gets ranked ... - zork Jul 29, 09:31 7
    - i think they've done a good job running the league and making it a success, but it's not really one of the top leagues in the world.... - x Jul 29, 09:46 6
      - I can't really argue what you're saying. As I said some of their rankings are for attendance and financial stability.Play-wise it could be better but - zork Jul 29, 09:53 5
        
        i just can't see how they are ever not going to bleed their top local talent to europe.... - x Jul 29, 10:01 4
        
        yeah, but I think the talent level of middling US and SA players is rising and more middling or older Euro players will come here. Also, too many Euro - zork Jul 29, 10:04 3
        
        i agree with the first part about us/sa players. i just think the mls is stuck in a place like the european basketball leagues are.... - x Jul 29, 10:12 1
        
        pretty much (England, Germany, and Spain will also be the best) but MLS tv contracts are only going to rise in value and money talks. - zork Jul 29, 10:18
        
        also, I think all boats will raise higher with NBCSports coming in with more soccer. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 10:09
- I had Zusi on my fantasy team for a while and he brings in good points, but I sold him because SKC had a bye week and he had USMNT duties -- nm - zork Jul 29, 09:23
despite the presence of Rosamund Pike, I think 'The World's End' looks funny. -- nm - Diva Jul 29, 09:15 8
- :O -- nm - David Jul 29, 09:25 1
  - *tiny snort* -- nm - Diva Jul 29, 09:33
- I'd lower your expectations for that film, and not because of Rosamund. -- nm - LMS Jul 29, 09:23 2
  - really? that's a bummer. I heart Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead. - Diva Jul 29, 09:34 1
    - Performances are fine, just not as funny and it gets a bit tedious. - LMS Jul 29, 09:36
- Me yesterday..."Oooh....dammit, Rosamund Pike. I had hopes for this." -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 09:16
- i just rewatched Shaun of the Dead yesterday. I will deffo see The World's End. -- nm - Andie Jul 29, 09:16 1

Man, how long until someone inside the Vatican knocks off Pope Francis? -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jul 29, 09:12 2
- Makes me think of John Paul I, and a number of conspiracy theories surrounding his sudden death. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 29, 09:15 1
  - And John Paul I didn't have creepy old Pope Emeritus Benedict roaming the halls. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jul 29, 09:16

  - 40 bucks for enough tickets to get a trinket you could buy at the dollar store. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jul 29, 09:14 1
    - Yup, but's such a major decision for the kids. They mull it over like we would which house to buy. -- nm - Inigo Jul 29, 09:20
  - yikes! Andrew has been asking about going there for his birthday... no! -- nm - Don Homer Jul 29, 09:09 2
    - don't do it. -- nm - Diva Jul 29, 09:11 1
      - this -- nm - SyrDragon Jul 29, 09:27
I just wanna move up a bit in the draft. - Will Hunting Jul 29, 08:59 18
- I hate all players with the name Johnson :) -- nm - oblique Jul 29, 09:02 17
  - Swap our first round picks and I'll throw in Andre. - Will Hunting Jul 29, 09:05 2
    - Errr, nm...you're 1:4 -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 09:09 1
      - Yeah, I'm 1-2. -- nm - spamlet Jul 29, 09:40
  - you can feel free to IM me with advice, since I am not in your league. - groiny Jul 29, 09:03 13
    - Our league is not interested in trading -- nm - amoxy Jul 29, 09:06 12
      - Kim would loooove to trade. She mentioned it last night. -- nm - David Jul 29, 09:07 9
        
        Every year I try to get people to trade, every year nothing happens. -- nm - Truman Jul 29, 09:20 5
        
        With Crabtree and Maclin down for most if not all of the year, interested in D. Thomas? -- nm - amoxy Jul 29, 09:23 3
        
        I love that. You have two injured WRa. Want a RB? -- nm - David Jul 29, 10:36 2
        
        Demaryius Thomas -- nm - amoxy Jul 29, 10:39 1
        
        Ha! Okay, I thought you meant Daniel. -- nm - David Jul 29, 10:40
        
        try again. ~...cuz nothing beats a failure but a try....~ STREETCAR!! -- nm - Diva Jul 29, 09:21
        
        I think it's funny in Astronauts that the only people I think would really trade are the guys with the same problem - Will Hunting Jul 29, 09:11
        
        Problem is we are both looking for the same thing - amoxy Jul 29, 09:09 1

What I think is that if she told her ex, "I want to get married, have babies and not work", he won't call again. -- nm - David Jul 29, 08:54 2
- Oh, I'm sure. I doubt she phrased things that way for the ex, but I bet she vented in some way. -- nm - Inigo Jul 29, 08:59 1
  - yeah - and it's impossible to know from the letter how much she may have expressed to the ex. - Diva Jul 29, 09:05
Ted Cruz is starting to make excuses for when his effort to defund the ACA fails - Brian Jul 29, 08:53 8

  - well, they don't want to take things away from their own. - znufrii Jul 29, 10:28

    - watching the baby boomers lose their minds over the idea that someone might "get something" is disturbing. - Mel Profit Jul 29, 09:22
