Good lord, the "Gravity" soundtrack is freaking me out/giving me chills. -- nm - MDH Sep 18, 07:41 15
- Am I the only one that watches the previews for this and thinks, "Meh."? -- nm - Spawn Sep 18, 07:55 5

- intriguing. -- nm - Andie Sep 18, 07:46 3

The single-season HR leaders for all 30 MLB teams... -- (link) - Don Homer Sep 18, 07:34 7
- amazing that the Yankees one hasn't changed since Maris. Looks like the lowest of the old teams are a tie between the Dodgers and WSox. They should be - zork Sep 18, 07:42 1
  - 61 is a lot of homers. It may be the record for a long time. I don't count those three juicers numbers as legit records either so it's also the MLB - Krusty Sep 18, 07:44
- Was Luis Gonzalez a juicer? -- nm - amoxy Sep 18, 07:39 3
  - Yes. - Inigo Sep 18, 07:44
  - Never caught but there were a lot of rumors and reports. -- nm - Krusty Sep 18, 07:41
  - I would say, yes. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 18, 07:40
- So many cheaters on that list. It's awful to see. -- nm - Krusty Sep 18, 07:36

- i don't think sending around photos of a girl you sexually assaulted is "sexting"... -- nm - colin Sep 18, 07:38
- where's the link to the nude photos? -- nm - Cappie Sep 18, 07:32
Starbucks says guns no longer welcome at its stores......(link) - Walt_Disney Sep 18, 07:26 47
- I think anybody who feels the need to wear a gun out to Starbucks is a big chicken -- nm - amoxy Sep 18, 07:58
- Especially for Zac and mop. -- nm - Spawn Sep 18, 07:28
- they're not going to ban them.. they're just making a public statement about it. - colin Sep 18, 07:28 42
  - Guns and caffeine don't mix, only decaf for those carrying. -- nm - LMS Sep 18, 07:49
  - Yup. They should just man up and say that people with guns aren't welcome and won't be served. - Krusty Sep 18, 07:34 38
    - they should just start to sell guns at the stores. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 18, 07:55
    - meh. -- nm - znufrii Sep 18, 07:45
    - you want to tell a 18 year barista to throw out a guy with a gun? -- nm - loosilu Sep 18, 07:40 35
      - If they want to stop them from coming in they can hire security. - Krusty Sep 18, 07:42 34
        
        they can just post that guns are not allowed. that's legal and up to the business. - colin Sep 18, 07:56 1
        
        If it stops the people then great. -- nm - Krusty Sep 18, 08:01
        
        and then people can be outraged when a coffe costs 15 dollars. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 18, 07:52 7
        
        Doesn't it already at Starbucks? ;-) The cost of one security guard per store wouldn't double the price of their goods. - Krusty Sep 18, 07:55 6
        
        I wouldn't go into any coffee shop with a security guard at the door. -- nm - loosilu Sep 18, 07:56 5
        
        I get that. I also wouldn't go in if there were people with guns on their waist. - Krusty Sep 18, 07:59 4
        
        They'll handle this the way any business handles rule breakers. - Inigo Sep 18, 08:04
        
        you would be a shitty cowboy. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 18, 08:02 2
        
        It's 2013, the Wild West many decades ago. Someone should tell the rest of the country. -- nm - Krusty Sep 18, 08:07 1
        
        *ended many decades ago* No one needs to walk around with a gun on their waist like it's 1890. -- nm - Krusty Sep 18, 08:07
        
        yes, let's make the situation more confrontational. Besides, the individual franchisees might not be able to afford it. -- nm - zork Sep 18, 07:49 6
        
        spoilers - znufrii Sep 18, 07:50 5
        
        ok, still that's a HUGE sudden expenditure to cover all their outlets. -- nm - zork Sep 18, 07:52 4
        
        They do well enough to hire one security guard per store. Plenty of business do it. -- nm - Krusty Sep 18, 07:53 3
        
        or just ... don't bring guns. People can't bring dogs in either. -- nm - loosilu Sep 18, 07:55 2
        
        Well, yeah. But the problem is people are bringing them and they seem to refuse to leave them at home despite - Krusty Sep 18, 07:57 1
        
        That's not the situation (as I understand it). Some gun owners specifically go to Starbucks, with guns, to prove a point. - loosilu Sep 18, 08:04
        
        or the gun people could quit holding "open carry events" at Starbucks -- nm - loosilu Sep 18, 07:45 12
        
        or just stop carrying guns - zork Sep 18, 07:50 2
        
        this is Virginia. We have human rights here. - loosilu Sep 18, 07:51 1
        
        you forgot the "God-given" part -- nm - zork Sep 18, 07:52
        
        That would work as well. :-) -- nm - Krusty Sep 18, 07:46 8
        
        can you imagine going into starbucks, let's say with a kid, and it's full of dudes with guns? - loosilu Sep 18, 07:47 7
        
        Exactly. As an adult I don't like it. I don't feel safer when I see guns. -- nm - Krusty Sep 18, 07:52 6
        
        quite the opposite, actually. - znufrii Sep 18, 07:53 5
        
        You feel safer when you see people with guns? - Krusty Sep 18, 07:54 4
        
        yet, you want to put $10 rent-a-cops in all the locations? -- nm - zork Sep 18, 07:55 1
        
        I want the people with guns to not try and bring them into the store. If it takes a security guard, so be it. -- nm - Krusty Sep 18, 08:02
        
        I feel quite the opposite of safer. - znufrii Sep 18, 07:54 1
        
        Got it. :-) - Krusty Sep 18, 08:00
        
        i think some security guy standing in my local starbucks might ruin the chill vibe. -- nm - Andie Sep 18, 07:44 3
        
        So would people with guns on their waist. -- nm - Krusty Sep 18, 07:45 2
        
        at the Open Carry events in VA, some people brought assault rifles. -- nm - loosilu Sep 18, 07:52
        
        very true. -- nm - Andie Sep 18, 07:46
  - Wait, you mean they will still sell them overpriced crap? - Spawn Sep 18, 07:29 1
    - there will be a $1 safety fee attached to every drink now. -- nm - colin Sep 18, 07:31
- ...but will do absolutely nothing to stop it. -- nm - znufrii Sep 18, 07:28
- crazy liberals -- nm - decline Sep 18, 07:27

I dropped my license down the elevator shaft this morning. Moving cards into a new wallet while walking, dropped on, whoosh down the slot. - loosilu Sep 18, 07:20 12
- very late on saturday night, I walked outside, started my car, realized I'd forgotten something, took key off ring, went inside, grabbed thing, drove - amanda hk Sep 18, 07:28
- in hindsight, that may not have been the best time to move those cards... -- nm - decline Sep 18, 07:27 2
