Goldson also gets a one game suspension for his hit on Sproles. -- nm - Spawn Sep 18, 09:00 3
- I just read that he won his appeal and won't be suspended. What a joke. Not sure what someone has to do to get suspended. - Krusty Sep 18, 09:03
- He's apparently already appealed it and gotten it reduced to just a fine. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 18, 09:02 1
  - Huh. Missed the one game announcement. Thanks. -- nm - Spawn Sep 18, 09:03

- I think I pulled it up in the app store and looked at it, but that's it. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 18, 09:04
- If I did, I wouldn't tell you. - spamlet Sep 18, 09:02
- no, but I have several friends who use it all the time -- nm - decline Sep 18, 09:02
- Nope since I don't know what it is. -- nm - Krusty Sep 18, 09:00 5
  - this -- nm - amoxy Sep 18, 09:09
  - it seems more geared toward the younger crowd - decline Sep 18, 09:08
  - ditto -- nm - znufrii Sep 18, 09:05
  - my answer too -- nm - Epiphany Sep 18, 09:03
  - ^ this. -- nm - Andie Sep 18, 09:02
I better get real used to the flashbulb Mission Failed screen. -- nm - Qale Sep 18, 08:58 7
- Especially any of them that involve me driving well. -- nm - Qale Sep 18, 09:14 6
  - The driving is terrible in all GTA games. -- nm - J Sep 18, 09:24 5
    - Reportedly they upgraded the driving physics a great deal on this one. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 18, 09:32 4
      - Maybe but it's very sloppy still. -- nm - J Sep 18, 09:37 3

        The idea that I am going to ever win a racing competition in this game is halarious. -- nm - Qale Sep 18, 09:39 1
        
        Is it needed to progress in the game? -- nm - J Sep 18, 09:41

    - except that ... - zork Sep 18, 08:56
    - That's impressive as hell for anyone, simple. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 18, 08:55
    - True. - Krusty Sep 18, 08:55 5
      - great hand-eye coordination is great... but he was blindfolded!!! -- nm - Spawn Sep 18, 09:04 4
        
        I was commenting on the fact that Bery would be impressed even if he wasn't blindfolded. - Krusty Sep 18, 09:11
        
        spoils - Beryllium Sep 18, 09:11
        
        That was also the most violent throwing motion I've seen from darts :) -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 18, 09:10 1
        
        Katie needed help getting the darts out of the board. -- nm - Spawn Sep 18, 09:20
In honor of kilbo's birthday, I just bought a halloween size bag of kit kats. - groiny Sep 18, 08:31 1

- as in bueller -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 18, 13:50
- like Paul Giamatti did in American Splendor -- nm - con_carne Sep 18, 09:24
- crooler -- nm - zork Sep 18, 08:46 1
  - on second thought probably closer to rhyming with duller -- nm - zork Sep 18, 08:50
- I... have never said it. I have heard it, but am unsure what exactly i is (beyond being a donut, that is). -- nm - Spawn Sep 18, 08:43 5
  - Spawn and amanda are not MKK on donuts -- nm - con_carne Sep 18, 09:37
  - It's a special kind of donut, as airy as Jordan from big brother. - Beryllium Sep 18, 08:44 1
    - I prefer my donuts cakey - and I suspect there are cakey versions of the crueller. I just don't recall having one. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 18, 09:13
  - one of these -- (link) - Andie Sep 18, 08:44 1
    - so yummy -- nm - decline Sep 18, 08:45
- cruel-er. -- nm - colin Sep 18, 08:37

  - This is correct. -- nm - volnelk Sep 18, 08:41
- crueller. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 18, 08:36
- Cruller -- nm - Krusty Sep 18, 08:33
- i just recently changed from 'crueller' to 'cruller'. i feel like i was wrong forever. -- nm - Andie Sep 18, 08:32 1
  - I prefer crueller. It's crueller. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 18, 08:43
- crueller -- nm - decline Sep 18, 08:32 2

    - see? this is what I was thinking! -- nm - amanda hk Sep 18, 08:51
Are there any movies that have already been released which you expect to get Best Picture nominations? -- nm - prayformojo Sep 18, 08:28 15
- I guess it depends on how many nominations they do this year. -- nm - zork Sep 18, 08:40
- Blue Jasmine has a shot. The Academy loves Woody Allen. -- nm - Inigo Sep 18, 08:38
- The Butler. -- nm - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Sep 18, 08:34
- A couple of long-shots (Fruitvale Station, Before Midnight) but nothing I expect -- nm - Roger More Sep 18, 08:32 8
  - i would be stunned if Before Midnight gets a nod. -- nm - Andie Sep 18, 08:33 7
    - I think I would be too - the acclaim was pretty much universal, but the subject matter is not what the Academy awards -- nm - Roger More Sep 18, 08:35 6
      - i don't think Fruitvale is such a long shot though. -- nm - Andie Sep 18, 08:36 5
        
        There'll be lots of competition for nominations this year. American Hustle, Gravity, Captain Phillips, Saving Mr Banks, 12 Years a Slave, Wolf of Wall - Roger More Sep 18, 08:43 2
        
        We developed SMB. -- nm - LMS Sep 18, 08:59 1
        
        I remember - have you started preparing your BAFTA acceptance speech? -- nm - Roger More Sep 18, 09:13
        
        And Michael B Jordan is a lock for Best Actor nominee -- nm - amoxy Sep 18, 08:37 1
        
        I don't think anyone is a lock there. That category is super competitive this year. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 18, 09:18
- The Butler (haven't seen it, just based on buzz) -- nm - MDH Sep 18, 08:30
- Fruitvale Station -- nm - amoxy Sep 18, 08:30 1
  - This. -- nm - Krusty Sep 18, 08:36

Matt Harvey is a bit of a jerk -- nm - amoxy Sep 18, 08:17 2
- whyis that? -- nm - groiny Sep 18, 08:37 1
  - Just on the Dan Patrick show, refused to talk about his injury and rehab. Only wanted to plug for Qualcomm -- nm - amoxy Sep 18, 08:39
Pretty cool. Nintendo is releasing digital updates to Wii Sports on WiiU. It's called Wii Sports Club. - Inigo Sep 18, 08:10 3
- So the sequel to the best selling game the dominant reason why Wii U won last gen won't be on retail shelves? Sweet move, Nintendo! - Qale Sep 18, 08:31 1
  - I think it'll be there eventually. They're giving the core gamers a chance to buy it now. - Inigo Sep 18, 08:36
- Also, those who have WiiFit or WiiFitPlus, can download and play WiiFitU for one month for free. - Inigo Sep 18, 08:16
combo question/vent: is this something that should annoy me? - Diva Sep 18, 08:07 19
- send card, offer to get together over a drink sometime -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 18, 13:54
- do not send gift -- nm - Beaker Sep 18, 09:33

- Sounds like this isn't the first annoy-able situation to arise in your friendship. - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Sep 18, 08:33 3
  - *starts typing.... deletes.* *starts again.... deletes.* -- nm - Andie Sep 18, 08:42 2
    - *snork* -- nm - Spawn Sep 18, 09:00
    - ik, r? *laughing* -- nm - Diva Sep 18, 08:43
- i'd be annoyed, for sure. i would try not to be, but i would. just state that at the moment travelling there is impossible but you would love to see - Andie Sep 18, 08:13 3
  - this is pretty much what i've done. i was more peeved yesterday than i am today so I wrote her back this morning. - Diva Sep 18, 08:20 1
    - send her a list of wedding gown places in Boston -- nm - zork Sep 18, 08:41
  - "I am currently on the 'no fly' list." -- nm - groiny Sep 18, 08:14
- yeah, annoying. -- nm - loosilu Sep 18, 08:10
- very much so. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 18, 08:09
- Yes but let it go. - Spawn Sep 18, 08:09
- forgot to add she sez she is doing better financially now, but I'm not sure if that will last if she declares bankruptcy. - Diva Sep 18, 08:09
- Yes, perfectly justified -- nm - amoxy Sep 18, 08:08
- sure -- nm - Truman Sep 18, 08:08
