who here lives in Alaska? -- nm - Remlik Aug 27, 11:14 10
- Oh honey. -- nm - David Aug 27, 11:17
- Really? -- nm - con_carne Aug 27, 11:15 6
  - I *barely* know where Spawn lives -- nm - Remlik Aug 27, 11:18 4
    - check your bed. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 11:18 3
      - hell no. I slept with him once in Chicago. He snores worse than Amoxy! -- nm - Remlik Aug 27, 11:24
      - or the closet -- nm - decline Aug 27, 11:19 1
        
        spawn came out of there a long time ago. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 11:21
  - I know. - Spawn Aug 27, 11:16
- Crazy "doctors". -- nm - JaxSean Aug 27, 11:15
- Vermin. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 11:15
holy frack ... i'm at the university right now ... just picked up a copy of the university yearbook from this past year ... - i'm not dead yet ! Aug 27, 11:10 2
- Universities have yearbooks? -- nm - JaxSean Aug 27, 11:10 1
  - Yearbook$? - Spawn Aug 27, 11:11
cause we like to drag things out: a note on confrontation and the potential for violent reactions. - colin Aug 27, 11:03 11
- on a serious note, there are assholes everywhere. - groiny Aug 27, 11:07 6
  - For me, it's stuff like what we saw the other day when a minivan ran a red light. - David Aug 27, 11:13 3
    - "It's still red. IT'S STILL RED!!!" -- nm - JaxSean Aug 27, 11:14 2
      - The pleas fit in *perfectly* with the story. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 27, 11:21
      - I was really interested in his story! nm -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 11:14
  - True, but you can get less asshole density. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 27, 11:08 1
    - uh huh huh -- nm - Butthead Aug 27, 11:10
- " i especially do not back down when someone intentionally comes on top of me" - groiny Aug 27, 11:06 3
  - what if it's unintentional?? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 27, 11:07 2
    - They have a pill for that. -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 11:13
    - like they were aiming for the turtle? -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 11:08
Fighters of Foo, you have a massive trade offer in Willy. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 10:58
I looked this up last week: According to a figure posted in New York magazine in 2010, what is the land value of the 843 acres of Central Park? -- nm - prayformojo Aug 27, 10:54 27
- $46.4 billion -- nm - Don Homer Aug 27, 11:01
- You have to factor in the cost of the riot police and possible military involvement if anyone tried to develop it -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 11:00 2
  - Just talking about a price is dangerous. -- nm - Max Aug 27, 11:04
  - Ha! See my post below. Riots day and night. -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 11:04
- Jeez, that would be prime real estate. I guess like 50-100 billion. -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 10:56 18
  - I just realized my guess included potential values of the buildings so I'm probably crazy high. -- nm - David Aug 27, 10:57 17
    - I think I'm low. It has to be more than a $100b but less than a trillion. -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 10:58 11
      - You're sorta in the neighborhood (spoils) - prayformojo Aug 27, 11:00 10
        
        I gotta say, that seems too high... over $600 million per acre?? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 27, 11:04 3
        
        Either your math is way off or mine is. -- nm - David Aug 27, 11:16
        
        Trump Tower is 58 floors and takes up much less than an acre it is valued at over $310M - I don't think the numbers are that far fetched -- nm - decline Aug 27, 11:15 1
        
        yeah, I wasn't factoring in highrises as much as I should have. I just guessed a flat rate of $55 million/acre. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 27, 11:19
        
        Right. Without the park the value of every property around it drops significantly. Still expensive but not Rockefeller expensive anymore. -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 11:02 2
        
        you're assuming that that (all of) it would be developed -- nm - zork Aug 27, 11:07 1
        
        That's what we're talking about, I thought. -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 11:08
        
        If that land ever came available, the basic traffic patterns of NYC would be rewritten on the fly. -- nm - David Aug 27, 11:01 2
        
        The people of NYC would riot if they tried to touch one inch of that park. - Krusty Aug 27, 11:03 1
        
        But as to your point, the grid would fit it perfectly. It would be real easy to develop the area once you filled in the rivers and lakes. -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 11:05
    - not as far off as some of the people I asked last week so said along the lines of - prayformojo Aug 27, 10:57 4
      - Ha! $3m isn't getting you any acres in Manhattan. :-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 10:59 2
        
        some condos are more than that -- nm - zork Aug 27, 11:08 1
        
        Yup. Change some to a lot and you nailed it. -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 11:10
      - with an "m"? wow -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 10:59
- I'll guess $1.3 trillion. -- nm - David Aug 27, 10:55
- CTTP or TPIR rules? -- nm - con_carne Aug 27, 10:54 2
  - CTTPIR: We ask Drew Carey and whoever is closest to his answer wins. -- nm - Ender Aug 27, 10:58 1
    - Welcome to Whose Price Is Right Anyway, where the rules are made up and the value of Central Park doesn't matter! -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 10:59
I'm a walking commuter in a town with way too many cars. at least once a week, I am almost hit. - amanda Aug 27, 10:49 7
- what about a karate kick instead of a slap? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 27, 11:11 1
  - belly flop? -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 11:15
- I'm tempted to slap a cyclist now and then. In DC they seem to think traffic laws don't apply to them. -- nm - Max Aug 27, 11:02 3
  - they started that rent a bike thing here is downtown chicago, so there are bikes everywhere now. - groiny Aug 27, 11:12 1
    - do that have those annual naked bike rides now? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 27, 11:14
  - *raises hand* I'm guilty of this. But it's a best-defense-good-offense thing. -- nm - landbeck Aug 27, 11:10
- I think David's joke was actually pretty close to the issue, it's a sort of vigilante-ism. -- nm - landbeck Aug 27, 10:53
I like Applause because I can imagine Annie Lennox performing it 20-25 years ago. -- nm - Max Aug 27, 10:43 2
- I wish she had, so we didn't have to hear Lady Gaga sing it. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 27, 10:49 1
  - *nods* It's terrible. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 27, 11:11
So, was Cuba the reason that Snowden wasn't on that flight to Havana? -- (link) - spamlet Aug 27, 10:39 6
- "Snowden, [Chelsea] Manning, [Julian] Assange are all a new type of people that nobody appears ready to deal with." -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 10:42 5
  - Really? I think the world has plenty of history dealing with criminals evading prosecution. -- nm - TWuG Aug 27, 10:45 4
    - *looks at the point on the far wall* - znufrii Aug 27, 10:56 1
      - If you think there's any new motivation in what any of the three have done, you've missed the point - TWuG Aug 27, 11:19
    - Yes, it's called electing them. -- nm - ty97 Aug 27, 10:47
    - ... read the damn article. They're not Ames. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 10:46

  - Ha! -- nm - David Aug 27, 10:53
- Franklin was built for 3rd down, early struggles notwithstanding. -- nm - David Aug 27, 10:44
- How's Franklin coming along? -- nm - Strongbad Aug 27, 10:42

  - So long as the don't develop the ability to walk on land, I'm good - TWuG Aug 27, 10:38
- Is it Miley Cyrus? -- nm - nubby Aug 27, 10:36 2
  - The Miley Cyrus Virus would be a good band name. -- nm - TWuG Aug 27, 10:37 1
    - I probably shouldn't try to add anything to that, but how about The Miley Cyrus Mind Virus? It's a bit less ... unsexy ... ya know what I mean? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 10:38
Meg: Petsmart kitten report...Q-tip not there but Rainbow is still there... -- nm - BAD Aug 27, 10:34 4
- PetSmart does great work with local shelters. -- nm - TWuG Aug 27, 10:36 3
  - Yes. We got two of our cats through shelters that worked with them. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 27, 10:38 2
    - Ditto. Lilo and Stitch came through one of the shelters they work with. - TWuG Aug 27, 10:42 1
      - I wanted q-tip but wife said "NO"... -- nm - BAD Aug 27, 10:46

Statham almost drowns on set of Expendables 3, returns to work next day. -- (link) - LMS Aug 27, 10:22 11
- Sounds like he was being the type of actor that stunt people hate. -- nm - David Aug 27, 10:24 8
  - To be fair, a former world-class diver in a water stunt seems pretty tailor made. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 27, 11:12 1
    - I'm sure that's what he was thinking but there are people paid to do that stuff. - David Aug 27, 11:15
  - Did you see Nick Frost talking about this in EW? -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 11:02
  - Yes, definitely. Unless they had planned for him to possibly be in the stunt, it seems dangerously impromptu -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 10:26 4
    - you know that scene in Expendables 1 where he's firing the gun on the plane? - Remlik Aug 27, 10:28 3
      - I haven't seen any of the Expendables films. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 10:29 2
        
        (Of course, that scene was probably in the trailer) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 10:29 1
        
        it was. -- nm - Remlik Aug 27, 10:30
- next day? no - later in the SAME day -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 10:23
- Jeez. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 27, 10:23
Last night I watched segments from America's Got Talent and the VMAs on my Tivo. The AGT stuff was utterly unwatchable. The pixelation was absurd. - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 27, 10:20 2
- Who knew America's Got Talent had so much nudity? -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 27, 10:39
- The AGT set re-design a few years ago was just too much. - Strongbad Aug 27, 10:22
why would I buy a season of a tv show before knowing if it was *any* good whatsoever? -- nm - zork Aug 27, 10:19
YDC: Demi Lovato to Play Santana's Love Interest on 'Glee' -- nm - MDH Aug 27, 10:18 7

Life of Pi on HDX is maybe the best-looking movie I've ever seen - prayformojo Aug 27, 10:16 8
- Aside: Avatar was added yesterday. -- nm - David Aug 27, 10:24
- We saw it in the theater in 3D. I put it right behind Avatar as one of the most visually stunning movies ever made. -- nmbsisd - JaxSean Aug 27, 10:22 3
  - It was great, and not in a way where the effects are the main focus -- nm - con_carne Aug 27, 10:27
  - Well, yes - prayformojo Aug 27, 10:24 1
    - I bet. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 27, 10:25

  - Is it a meme if only one person is doing it? -- nm - mara Aug 27, 10:35 3
    - ML = Gretchen Weiners -- nm - Roger More Aug 27, 11:12
    - Hmm. Probably not - but it's more of a meme than image macros are -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 10:37
    - One person is doing it, but several of us have parodied it -- nm - con_carne Aug 27, 10:37
  - What was your favorite "What was your favorite _____ moment, ST?", ST? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 10:17 2
