  - Carrie's taking a ton of heat for this...I wonder how many other singers would even have the balls to try what she did? - Jim Dec 6, 08:16 4
    - plenty of singers would have the balls to do it. plenty of superstar country-pop performers is another thing entirely. -- nm - Diva Dec 6, 08:23
    - seriously. I give her huge kudos. that took balls. -- nm - loosilu Dec 6, 08:19
    - I'm impressed by the entire endeavor other than quality but yeah, it's ballsy - Will Hunting Dec 6, 08:18 1
      - I mean, I'm sure Gaga would do something like this...but would never be asked to do Sound of Music. - Jim Dec 6, 08:19

        yeah, she's kind of awesome. -- nm - znufrii Dec 6, 08:23
        
        ok...thanks. -- nm - Jim Dec 6, 08:23
      - and Tony Romo aint one of them. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 6, 08:10
- [deleted] 8
  - Good. More stuff like this please. But maybe cast a real actor in the lead next time. (I thought she sang very well.) -- nm - Diva Dec 6, 08:09 7
    - yeah, a friend of mine made a similar comment on FB - znufrii Dec 6, 08:10

      - [deleted]
      - agreed -- nm - Diva Dec 6, 08:09

Maybe there's no such thing as a bad poutine, but only if you categorize the offenders as "crimes against poutine" - Roger More Dec 6, 07:57 6
- Oh, also there are a lot of restaurants here that serve poutine fancied up. Like, they'll stick a slab of foie gras on it -- nm - Roger More Dec 6, 08:03
- there's a bar in Conshohocken that does poutine - znufrii Dec 6, 08:02
- What gravy would you use instead of beef gravy? - Beryllium Dec 6, 08:01 2
  - Turkey gravy would be the standard, but lots of places here have their own recipe. - Roger More Dec 6, 08:02 1

    - *snickering* We'll add the Ms to the list of teams that don't learn. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 6, 08:05 5
      - I predict when we look at Cano's numbers after the season, they are going to look like that ain't worth half that amount. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 6, 08:07 4
        
        He's worth that money for 1-3 seasons but after that it's a typical Mega Contract Team Killer. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 6, 08:16 3
        
        his .300 avg and 30 homers, probably drop to maybe .280 and .20 homers in that park. - groiny Dec 6, 08:18 2
        
        good point. I always forget the Park factor. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 6, 08:21 1
        
        and he will be playing a bunch of games in Oakland and Anahiem, both not great hitters parks. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 6, 08:22
    - insane -- nm - decline Dec 6, 08:05
    - Vaya con Dios, Robbie. -- nm - Diva Dec 6, 08:05

- 4. -- nm - Beaker Dec 6, 08:00
- Televen. -- nm - Was Bar Was Dec 6, 07:56
- what are your expectations? that changes the meaning of your scale. -- nm - zork Dec 6, 07:55 1
  - 1 - US sweeps the group stage, 10 - Group of Death -- nm - znufrii Dec 6, 08:04

WC2014: the streaming on Beaker's CBC link has started -- nm - zork Dec 6, 07:54 3
- and has now stopped -- nm - zork Dec 6, 07:54 2
  - started for real now. hot co-host babe alert. -- nm - zork Dec 6, 08:04 1
    - they are doing a moment of silence for Mandela - zork Dec 6, 08:12
If SLACK needs me urgently best to ping me here. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 6, 07:52 8
- I'vestarted on BAM's towns. One blocked on my way to 2 more. No fighty yet -- nm - Beaker Dec 6, 07:58 7
  - Do we need more army or navy? I probably should focus on rebuilding only one of those at this point. - spamlet Dec 6, 08:09 1
    - navy I find tends to settle things. Can't pillage but you can exert power with it and easier to maintain, just build and move -- nm - Beaker Dec 6, 08:10
  - While cobra is obviously a focus we need to make the rest of them feel this. - Mel Profit Dec 6, 08:02 1
    - the main thing will be not to rush off to try and protect everyone. -- nm - Beaker Dec 6, 08:04
  - and I'll repeat what I've said on .com: if I had my .org account over there it would be bad news for our enemies - Beaker Dec 6, 07:59 2
    - The Every Present Forge sounds great. - Mel Profit Dec 6, 08:04 1
      - I think just 1 is like 5 days to recharge with the right Religion. 5 gives you a 2 hour recharge and 6 is the magic number -- nm - Beaker Dec 6, 08:05
I think one of the biggest takeaways from SOM last night is that we are terribly un-used to real live television. - zork Dec 6, 07:51 2
- and it's all short sketches. this was a full production -- nm - loosilu Dec 6, 07:52 1
  - *laughs uncontrollably* -- nm - Steve Allen Dec 6, 07:53
