I would just like to say that as an "after 5" drink to be able to pour at work - baileys over ice with a splash of cold coffee is pretty tasty -- nm - JenBro Dec 30, 15:01
Fox News front page story: City braces for highest in the nation $15 a hour min. wage! - Jovian Dec 30, 14:54 11

Saving Mr. Banks is a profoundly sad tale that recounts how Disney got the rights to Mary Poppins. Preliminary grade: B+ with a full review later. -- nm - Qale Dec 30, 14:26 6
- These reviews are completely confusing me, since the trailer makes it look 100% saccharine. Does David Tomlinson get trampled by pigeons in the end? -- nm - Max Dec 30, 14:31 3

- Do you have a SuperTicket equivalent down there? - Reagen Dec 30, 14:20 3

  - S2 started 3/31 last year, and they usually have their series start when a previous one ends - prayformojo Dec 30, 14:02 1
    - me neither! -- nm - Jovian Dec 30, 14:09

        To explicitly say what I'm getting at: Frozen earned $19 million the 20th to the 23th. It should have earned $13. That's where 90% of the boost - Reagen Dec 30, 14:02
      - PC! -- nm - Spawn Dec 30, 13:33
