- Show them CCC's profile picture on Facebook. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 24, 18:40
- this fits in several ways of steampunk thinking, but is not as mechanical -- (link) - peglegpete Nov 24, 18:36
- How can they be "artists" and not know what steampunk is? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 24, 18:34 3

  - love the crazy motion on that pass play -- nm - crash davis Nov 24, 18:10 3
    - unlimited motion before the snap. Every CFL play seems vaguely offsides. -- nm - Reagen Nov 24, 18:15 1
      - with that and that wide field, I'm amazed every game isn't an NBA score -- nm - crash davis Nov 24, 18:19

One of the greatest mistakes of this NFL season is switching to Carrie away from Faith -- nm - crash davis Nov 24, 17:28 7
- I miss Pink. She did a solid opening. -- nm - Remlik Nov 24, 18:43
- I agree, Faith's version had a edge to it -- nm - amoxy Nov 24, 17:41 1
  - indeed -- nm - crash davis Nov 24, 17:44
- she's a much better dancer. -- nm - Reagen Nov 24, 17:40 3
  - Faith wears a teenie tiny little skirt. Point Faith -- nm - Bacon Nov 24, 17:41 2
    - They are both hot. Carrie wears those jean shorts that are no more than underwear -- nm - amoxy Nov 24, 17:42 1
      - I think Reagan was saying that Faith is unquestionably the better singer -- nm - crash davis Nov 24, 17:44

        yeah yeah ... we're truly just friends ... this is who I'm planning the trip to Australia with in 2015 - JenBro Nov 24, 17:48 1
        
        right...'trip planning' right. :) -- nm - Remlik Nov 24, 18:14
- Awesome! Sounds fun - Epiphany Nov 24, 17:30 3
  - niiice ... I'm having a turkey sandwich :) - JenBro Nov 24, 17:33 2
    - Truthfully I love the turkey left over sammiches better than the turkey itself - Epiphany Nov 24, 17:45 1
      - I like both ... but if I could choose? Prime Rib - every time. -- nm - JenBro Nov 24, 17:48

This guy calling Brady "Tommy" is quite the douche -- nm - rollo Nov 24, 17:06
Any of our American friends watching the Grey Cup game? -- nm - Under the Influence Nov 24, 17:04 10
- Canadians aren't even watching it -- nm - J-Nexus Nov 24, 17:09 9
  - ? the game is usually the most watched thing of the year in Canada. -- nm - Reagen Nov 24, 17:18 8
    - I don't think I could name one person I know who's watching it. -- nm - J-Nexus Nov 24, 17:41 4
      - Ratings tomorrow will be in the 5-6M viewers range. -- nm - Reagen Nov 24, 17:47 3
        
        caveat: the blowout might already have a good pportion tuned out. -- nm - Reagen Nov 24, 17:53 1
        
        I don't know who they are playing but I hope the Ticats are losing -- nm - J-Nexus Nov 24, 17:59
        
        That's a big number for Canada, my previous comment stands. -- nm - J-Nexus Nov 24, 17:50
    - "Oh, you guys are skipping the game, eh?" "What game?" -- me at the aquarium three hours ago -- nm - Beryllium Nov 24, 17:29 1
      - This -- nm - J-Nexus Nov 24, 17:40
    - crud, I'm guessing it is going on right now? -- nm - crash davis Nov 24, 17:23
So on this MyVegas thing... do you just keep playing until you run out of chips? do you get more each day? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 24, 17:03 10
- That is what I did at first, but you do get more chips each day. On the wheel and then you can collect chips on the strip - amoxy Nov 24, 17:06 9
  - on the mobile app you get chips hourly - and the chip amount increases the further along you are in the game -- nm - JenBro Nov 24, 17:21 8
    - Yeah, it's almost impossible to run out of tokens on the mobile app. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 24, 17:30
    - Yeah, that's what I'm playing on. Is that what the countdown in the lower left is for? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 24, 17:26 6
      - yes - you can snag chips there hourly and then once a day you get a wheel spin for more -- nm - JenBro Nov 24, 17:27 5
        
        and - FWIW - I find on the mobile app, when you are getting close to winning the free spins - if you up your bet before you get them - like bump up - JenBro Nov 24, 17:32 4
        
        Do you build up the strip on the mobile version? -- nm - amoxy Nov 24, 17:43 3
        
        not in the same way - there's little "achievements" - that move you along a path on the strip - the one I'm working on now is to earn 97 loyalty point - JenBro Nov 24, 17:59 1
        
        oh - and that reminds me - a weird thing on the mobile I've noticed - during free spins - the other bonuses don't come up - it only seems to re-trigge - JenBro Nov 24, 18:01
        
        I have been so far. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 24, 17:45
this is as good a first half as I dared imagine. -- nm - Reagen Nov 24, 17:02

How bout them Cowboys. -- nm - Under the Influence Nov 24, 16:40 1

Samara put an evil hex upon the KC Defense -- nm - Bacon Nov 24, 16:27 2
- The Blood Feud succubus strikes again. -- nm - David Nov 24, 16:30 1
  - To be fair, it's against Redmond. Do you really need to be a succubus to have bad things happen to him? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 24, 16:33
The Georgetown/VCU game featured 61 fouls. -- nm - Dano Nov 24, 16:25
Go Giants! -- the I hate the Cowboys nm - JaxSean Nov 24, 16:20 2
- I dislike both teams immensely. I'd like to see a tie. -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 24, 16:32 1
  - Sorry only one allowed per season -- nm - Epiphany Nov 24, 16:49
Two players had longer runs for the Colts than Trent had total. - Will Hunting Nov 24, 16:18
Why wouldn't the Colts use a first to... oh, right. -- nm - Reagen Nov 24, 16:16
ok, for reasons too lengthy to explain, I need 4 values for X with the following range perameters ... - i'm not dead yet ! Nov 24, 16:11 2
- 1 -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 24, 16:14
- 1, 3, 4, 5 -- nm - Spawn Nov 24, 16:14
Well, crap. I guess my Amazon Prime expired. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 24, 16:11
Truman, I've got a Roku 2 XD. My girls watch Vudu on it all the time without complaint. It's wired, though, not wifi. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 24, 16:11 9
- I have the same problem with my 2. I just gave up. -- nm - spamlet Nov 24, 16:45
- Mine is wired. There are all kinds of crazy ways people say "fixes" this for a while, but it always comes back - Truman Nov 24, 16:18 7
  - I use the Vudu app on my 360 and it works great -- nm - Remlik Nov 24, 16:51
  - Serious suggestion: get an XBox One. -- nm - David Nov 24, 16:21 5
    - What other settop boxes have Vudu? 360, PS3, certainly. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 24, 16:35 4
      - Actually, that is a good question. Does the problem exist on the Vudu app for the 360? -- nm - David Nov 24, 16:43 3
        
        For me, vudu works perfectly on my 360, ps3, ipad, laptop, and iphone on my home network -- nm - Truman Nov 24, 17:03 1
        
        Then just use one of those. Alternately, use Target Ticket to view your UV files. -- nm - David Nov 24, 17:04
        
        not on mine but my 360 is wired via coax. -- nm - spamlet Nov 24, 16:47
Woo! Titans! -- nm - Strongbad Nov 24, 16:11
7 rushes, 15 yards -- nm - prayformojo Nov 24, 16:07
If Brady does not outscore Manning by *33* points, will have an 11-1 record. -- nm - Spawn Nov 24, 16:07
Colts with a 22 yard run, and it was not Brown or Luck! - Spawn Nov 24, 16:02
There's nothing like a Cowboys game -- nm - prayformojo Nov 24, 15:59
Catching Fire is a very different film from Hunger Games. Preliminary grade is tough as it needs more digestion. But will be likely high. -- nm - Qale as Folk Nov 24, 15:57 3
- Have you read the books? I expected this one to be much different. -- nm - GregW Nov 24, 16:09 2
  - I did not. -- nm - Qale as Folk Nov 24, 17:05
  - Well, it would be hard for it to have been worse than the first. -- nm - Spawn Nov 24, 16:12
