    - I haven't seen a lot of the "marquee" best style movies, but this was well-acted, well-plotted, and had plenty of depth imo. - Will Hunting Dec 20, 12:20

  - Haven't gotten around to doing this one -- nm - pfm Dec 20, 12:06 2
    - Based on ST's reaction a few days ago, nobody would take it. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 20, 12:08 1
      - I like The Polar Express fine but it's not special like the best holiday classics are. -- nm - David Dec 20, 12:14

*Stalker Package Sent* ... posted it almost 3 hours ago. How long until I can start wondering "Did they get it yet?" :) -- nm - JenBro Dec 20, 12:00 2
- I was rather amazed they could get a package from CA to northern MI in just 3 days...USPS even. -- nm - Meg Dec 20, 12:04 1
  - they prolly read the return address and said "holy shiszznit"!!! -- nm - JenBro Dec 20, 12:14
amanda/Dr. Vermin: my friend got CAH's Holiday Bullshit #12 today. It's epic. -- nm - MDH Dec 20, 11:59 3
- I meant to sign up for this, damnit. -- nm - znufrii Dec 20, 12:04
- Cool. I got about five of them bundled together yesterday, but am still only halfway there. Plenty of time before Xmas, though. :) - Dr.Vermin Dec 20, 12:01 1
  - Can't wait to see your reaction. My friends and I are going to try and play this weekend. -- nm - MDH Dec 20, 12:04
in the comments, someone mentioned having those wings and that they were good. 50 cents? I used to get them for 5 cents (in the 80s of course) -- nm - zork Dec 20, 11:56 9
- I never even heard of wings as a food separate from chicken until like college -- nm - con_carne Dec 20, 12:10 8
  - it wasn't. they started selling them, super cheap, to use up parts that would be thrown out basically. -- nm - Andie Dec 20, 12:12 6
    - and to get people in to buy alcohol -- nm - zork Dec 20, 12:14 5
      - I said it before when McD's wings were announced. The thought of eating them without alcohol is unexplainably weird to me -- nm - con_carne Dec 20, 12:16 4
        
        and paying more for the privilege, too. -- nm - znufrii Dec 20, 12:18
        
        Unless they're boneless wings, they're just work. Who wants to pay money to have to work to get small amounts of food? - Will Hunting Dec 20, 12:18 2
        
        More room for beer -- nm - con_carne Dec 20, 12:21 1
