- Nothing good ever happened after the phrase, "groiny, check this out". -- nm - nubby Dec 6, 09:37 1
  - But not as bad as when he says, "Check this out." -- nm - Spawn Dec 6, 09:39
SoM last night was the most original unique thing Ive watched on TV in years - Jovian Dec 6, 09:32
One of my greatest, easy joys in life is watching Diva sing karaoke... - Mel Profit Dec 6, 09:28 30
- it must be such a kick to watch the crowd. :) -- nm - loosilu Dec 6, 09:38 4
  - When Diva sings, nobody is watching the crowd -- nm - con_carne Dec 6, 09:59 2
    - I guarantee Mel is. I know I love to watch the crowd...especially when I know a big note is coming. It's pretty awesome. -- nm - Jim Dec 6, 10:00 1
      - like... - Mel Profit Dec 6, 10:09

  - Did they ever put the "Alone" video anywhere people could see it? -- nm - Spawn Dec 6, 09:41 2
    - That's the P'Town one. I think I posted it on...FB. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 6, 09:42 1
      - Ah. I meant the one I videoed! -- nm - Spawn Dec 6, 09:43
  - she sang at some joint in Provincetown this summer... - Mel Profit Dec 6, 09:38 6
    - As a sometimes karaoke DJ...the rare person that can actually sing is pretty awesome. -- nm - Jim Dec 6, 09:45 5
      - I can't imagine having to do that night in and night out. - Mel Profit Dec 6, 09:47 4
        
        It's bad when you play the same place for a while...cause you'll have the "regulars" that feel like they should get special treatment for being - Jim Dec 6, 09:49 2
        
        Agreed. It's amazing how they treat the equipment. It must give you heart attacks... - Mel Profit Dec 6, 09:54 1
        
        Yeah...mics hitting the floor...people will actually set their beers on the players. - Jim Dec 6, 09:57

I'll tell you the thing about Frozen, and why it pretty much ruined the movie for me (slight spoils) - prayformojo Dec 6, 09:24 7
- It worked for me in that tie back to childhood. I wasn't sure the movie needed two comic characters between the horse, Maximilian and the snowman - kilbowlful of jelly Dec 6, 09:42
- Spoilers - David Dec 6, 09:27 1
  - plus his carrot nose represents a penis. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 6, 09:27
- I kinda disagree......spoils - groiny Dec 6, 09:25 3
  - My wife suggested that, but I don't really buy that in as much as (spoils) - prayformojo Dec 6, 09:32 2
    - well, see.....spoils - groiny Dec 6, 09:44 1

  - Fernanda Lima -- nm - Roger More Dec 6, 09:41 1
    - thank you -- nm - zork Dec 6, 09:44
- The U.S.is fucked. I'm not happy with Italy's draw but it could have been worse. -- nm - Krusty Dec 6, 09:22 2
  - Group D is gonna be a fight -- nm - CQ Dec 6, 09:28 1
    - We're going to get some great matches -- nm - Krusty Dec 6, 09:52

[deleted]
U.S. is screwed. heh -- nm - CQ Dec 6, 09:16 17
- ugh. -- nm - znufrii Dec 6, 09:53
- It could be worse. They could be in a group with both the 2010 finalists. -- nm - Roger More Dec 6, 09:23
- but I think the only other groups they would have fallen into that would be much better would be C or H -- nm - zork Dec 6, 09:23 9
  - or A or F -- nm - CQ Dec 6, 09:25 8
    - A means Brazil, Croatia, Cameroon; F means Argentina, Nigeria -- nm - zork Dec 6, 09:28 3
      - which would be better than facing Germany or Portugal or Ghana imo -- nm - CQ Dec 6, 09:30 2
        
        not *much* better which was my original premise -- nm - zork Dec 6, 09:33 1
        
        whatever -- nm - CQ Dec 6, 09:36
    - E would even be better -- nm - CQ Dec 6, 09:26 3
      - I think you're right on this one, for sure. -- nm - zork Dec 6, 09:39 2
        
        I just think they could at least get points from some of those groups. I don't see them getting any in the group they're in. just my opinion -- nm - CQ Dec 6, 09:45 1
        
        Germany always has a game that's 8-1 or so in the group stage. I can't decide who is most likely to get that shellacking -- nm - zork Dec 6, 09:52
- Looks like my prediction was spot on. -- (link) - Was Bar Was Dec 6, 09:23 [Backboard]
- yuuuuup. -- nm - Reagen Dec 6, 09:20
- Scrooooooooood. -- nm - Was Bar Was Dec 6, 09:18
- fixed. Germany? Really? -- nm - Diva Dec 6, 09:17
- Yikes -- nm - amoxy Dec 6, 09:17
Damn. That's .... yikes. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 6, 09:16 1
- 2-5-14-24 in the current rankings -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 6, 09:17
Ok, so let's settle it. We know you can ruffle feathers...but can you rustle feathers? nm - Jim Dec 6, 09:15 17
- Yes. Ruffling is done to feathers, but feathers can be rustled by the bird. - TWuG Dec 6, 10:01 1
  - So, I can ruffle feathers, but a bird can rustle its own feathers? nm - Jim Dec 6, 10:03
- Tyson is a dick. That is all -- nm - kilbowlful of jelly Dec 6, 09:46 9
  - He was playing the game - con_carne Dec 6, 10:05 1
    - It's still a dick move. He's the prick that pokes you all the time trying to get you to take a swing -- nm - kilbowlful of jelly Dec 6, 10:11
  - I disagree...he just doesn't like when people mispronounce their sayings. - Jim Dec 6, 09:58
  - Duh. -- nm - David Dec 6, 09:57 5
    - This should be a fun exercise. I'd love to see you rank the following, in terms of how much you hate to see them on your TV. - Jim Dec 6, 10:02 4
      - All this list demonstrates is that you like weird people. - David Dec 6, 10:08
      - Hmmm... I will threadjack, but from least-hated to most - Roger More Dec 6, 10:08 2
        
        Coach is the opposite of good-hearted. -- nm - David Dec 6, 10:10 1
        
        Well, good-hearted in Survivor terms. - Roger More Dec 6, 10:17
- The feathers would need to be alive, as in cattle (was slavery human rustling?) -- nm - con_carne Dec 6, 09:25
- If you had a pile of them on the floor, sure. It was a slip, but not a huge one. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 6, 09:20
- no, but I *can* rustle some leaves. - Jovian Dec 6, 09:19
- By sneaking up on the bird and grabbing it by the tail. -- nm - Roger More Dec 6, 09:16 1
  - wait, what happens if the bird is named Russell? -- nm - prayformojo Dec 6, 09:20
not gonna be happy in UK -- nm - CQ Dec 6, 09:14 2
- Well, in the English part of the UK. -- nm - Roger More Dec 6, 09:14 1
  - yeah, yeah -- nm - CQ Dec 6, 09:16

- Kubi-axed. -- nm - nubby Dec 6, 09:31 1
  - [deleted]
- I wonder if Elway would look into bringing Kubiak back to Denver, in some capacity. -- nm - Jim Dec 6, 09:18 3
  - he could fill Elway's feedbag. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 6, 09:19 2
    - Wow...it's been at least a decade since I've heard an Elway/horse joke. -- nm - Jim Dec 6, 09:21 1
      - It was about time. -- nm - Spawn Dec 6, 09:23
- [deleted] 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - ugh. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 6, 09:24
- ESPN reports that Parker Lewis has been named interim coach -- nm - ty97 Dec 6, 09:15 3
  - he can't lose. -- nm - Diva Dec 6, 09:15 2
    - *snork* -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 6, 09:42
    - Nobody gets that joke but me. I approve. -- nm - Was Bar Was Dec 6, 09:30
Question for people who have seen Frozen (spoilers)... - David Dec 6, 09:12 20
- the thought never crossed my mind. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 6, 09:14 19
  - Mine either but a BOP writer just pointed out some stuff to me that leads me to believe she is. - David Dec 6, 09:14 17
    - like what? - groiny Dec 6, 09:15 16
      - Spoilers - David Dec 6, 09:19 15
        
        Seems quiet a stretch -- nm - kilbowlful of jelly Dec 6, 09:21
        
        IMO, that is reading way too much into the movie. - groiny Dec 6, 09:21 13
        
        That's how subtext works though. It's ambiguous to a lot of people, but speaks very clearly to others. -- nm - Roger More Dec 6, 09:34
        
        Spoilers - David Dec 6, 09:24 10
        
        yeah, well you are talking to someone who completely missed that in First Class as well. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 6, 09:26 9
        
        X2, not First Class. - David Dec 6, 09:27 8
        
        well, it was in first class as well. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 6, 09:28 7
        
        It's the X-Men, that subtext is there in everything X-Men. -- nm - Ender Dec 6, 09:32 6
        
        right, it works because it is anything that screams "outsider" - groiny Dec 6, 09:47 1
        
        but at least half of those you definitely can't choose to not be them which became the driving plot point in X3 -- nm - zork Dec 6, 09:55
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        even then, it didn't really start until X2 and was subtle there. X3 is when it really came out - zork Dec 6, 09:38 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        that line was about the extent of it in X2, wasn't it? - zork Dec 6, 09:41
        
        heh - kilbowlful of jelly Dec 6, 09:21
  - This -- nm - kilbowlful of jelly Dec 6, 09:14
