- So, par for the course? -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 08:18 6
  - no wonder he hates Pacific Rim. -- nm - Remlik Oct 2, 08:23 1
    - I did not HATE it, but I do not get all the jizz inducing jerkfests that ensue after y'all saw it. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 2, 08:24

  - yes -- nm - Truman Oct 2, 08:28 1
    - I made a couple of macros for amanda some time ago that did this (except it was changing the tab names) that could be modified for this. - zork Oct 2, 08:32
- don't think so. -- nm - znufrii Oct 2, 08:18 6
  - hmm, damm. -- nm - Truman Oct 2, 08:19 5

- I am shocked. *shocked!* -- nm - Andie Oct 2, 08:02 7
  - Every time I post one of these Ford news stories, I picture you laughing while simultaneously shaking your head -- nm - ty97 Oct 2, 08:03 6
    - that is pretty accurate. -- nm - Andie Oct 2, 08:05 5
      - someone should put those self-winding type mechanisms on everyone in this area to capture all the energy expended from head shaking - zork Oct 2, 08:07

Those of you who watch Breaking Bad AND The Newsroom - what did you think of Daniels' Emmy win? Was it deserving? Did Cranston deserve to win instead? - kelly Oct 2, 07:56 6
- Cranston won three straight times while Daniels is a movie actor doing tv. The vote is more about that. - David Oct 2, 08:29
- One thing that may be worth noting, Daniels won for the pilot episode of Newsroom. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 2, 08:02
- Daniels is in no way bad, but winning over Cranston is silly. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 07:57 3
  - I didn't start Newsroom until after the Emmys, so the only actor in that category I had seen was Hamm. I didn't expect him to beat Cranston. - kelly Oct 2, 08:10
  - I would have bet my house on Cranston winning that award. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 2, 08:03 1
    - Jon Hamm has to sit back and yell loudly "COME ON!" each time Cranston doesn't win. - Will Hunting Oct 2, 08:07
And just another reminder that if Boehner let the clean bill come up for a vote, it would pass and this would be over. -- (link) - ty97 Oct 2, 07:52

    - *snork* We need a Leah Update btw...has she taken them down yet? -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 2, 08:24 1
      - not yet. she's using DWTS as her vehicle to get the message out. Kirstie Alley is supposedly launching a counter-attack. -- nm - Diva Oct 2, 08:30
  - He's poked his head up here and there, but he's been mostly MIA (nm) - Brian Oct 2, 07:53

  - keeping his mouth shut as he eyes 2016 -- nm - decline Oct 2, 07:50 1
    - Nope. He's not one of the 5 with staffers already. If he decides to (he won't), he'll be way too far behind anyway. -- nm - MDH Oct 2, 07:56
- That may be (partly) because they (along with NPR among others) are getting called out hard for the false equivalence reporting. -- nm - ty97 Oct 2, 07:48

MDH when did brit get hurt? -- nm - amanda hk Oct 2, 07:46 7
- She never got hurt, but around 2007/2008 you could tell "something happend." She can't physically dance anymore. - MDH Oct 2, 07:50 [youtube] 6
  - Someone in the comments suggested she had a knee injury of some type. *shrugs* - Jim Oct 2, 07:52 5
    - True. She never has been public about an injury except for her Onyx Hotel Tour knee injury, but she had a good year or 2 after that though. IDK. -- nm - MDH Oct 2, 08:07
    - I think she just lost the discipline to practice - zork Oct 2, 07:57 3
      - someone with a body like that has discipline. she has the discipline to work out. -- nm - amanda hk Oct 2, 08:24 2
        
        this. -- nm - Diva Oct 2, 08:35
        
        but she can see the reward for that more easily so will be more driven to do that. also, I think she got to the point that she thought she didn't need - zork Oct 2, 08:29

    - Just slightly. heh. (I think he's just riffing on "DTM"-type critiques of people's work) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 2, 07:52
- I'm with him up till Bear and the Dragon. After that was Red Rabbit and that was toilet paper. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 2, 07:42 10
  - THIS -- nm - Beaker Oct 2, 08:30
  - I stopped right after Bear and Dragon. Yet somehow I still read every Cussler. -- nm - MDH Oct 2, 07:47 8
    - My guys I still read -- Cussler (both the Pitt and the NUMA Files), James Rollins Sigma Force, Brad Thor, Vince Flynn :( -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 2, 07:51 7
      - Mine: Cussler (All Series), Rollins (his vampire one was weird), Preston Child (the Pendergast were awesome but have been faltering - Gideon is awful) - MDH Oct 2, 08:09 1
        
        And Andy McDermott and David Gibbins. They are more second tier, but still fun. -- nm - MDH Oct 2, 08:11
      - has there been a new sigma force novels lately? -- nm - Remlik Oct 2, 08:05 1
