Jim Cantore said hell no to the request of making a snow angel in Charlotte's 2 inches of snow. What, he'll take on a cat-5 but snow scares him? -- nm - Qale Mar 1, 18:35 2
- with only 2 inches he'd leave permanent grooves in the pavement as he'd scoop out about six inch minimum -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 1, 18:38
- that's not enough snow for a snow angel. -- nm - Callisto Mar 1, 18:37
Just watched Juno for the first time after 7 months of kelly's pleading. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 18:33 3
- Yeah, it's actually very good but almost sunk by trying to be so witty and quirky all the time. -- nm - Dano Mar 1, 18:39
- Sounds like the average teenager. -- nm - not2fast Mar 1, 18:38 1
  - Avg teenager didn't have the 'genius' aspect in the first place. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 18:40
Best. Article illustration. EVER. -- (link) - Cuzzin Todd Mar 1, 18:32 2
- Now that's just plain nasty. -- nm - Krusty Mar 1, 18:37
- Oh, that ain't right. -- nm - TWuG Mar 1, 18:36
Personal quirk: I can't set my alarm for a time ending in :00, :15, :30, or :45 -- nm - Dano Mar 1, 18:32 3
- heh, I always use 01 06 etc as when I hit snooze the 9 minutes makes it 10, 15 etc -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 18:34 2
  - you only hit snooze once? - dogbert183 Mar 1, 18:35 1
    - I basically wake up anytime an hour before my alarm goes off; and then rest it for half an hour later. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 18:36
hmm, no one wants to play the campaign with me. oh well, I should go to sleep early anyway - tRuMaN Mar 1, 18:30 1
- Sorry I seen your invite but I was involved in Cortana...and I finally have completed the game fully on normal -- nm - J Mar 1, 18:38
Oh, we got 12 copies of Australia at work Friday. How many do you want pixie? -- nm - Todd Manning Mar 1, 18:15 2
- i wouldn't want to deny others the pleasure -- nm - pigby Mar 1, 18:16 1
  - So all of them, then? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 18:25
happy anniversary JaxSean and Mrs. JaxSean! - pigby Mar 1, 18:14 2
- Thank jeebus those are over with, then. - JaxSean Mar 1, 18:23 1
  - Congrats! -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 18:23
Iron Chef spoiler. the secret ingredient is: - peglegpete Mar 1, 18:07 2
- the chairman's banter with the challenger was goofy and (spoiler) - prayformojo Mar 1, 18:09 1
  - it's a good match. since spoiler - peglegpete Mar 1, 18:13
This week's Real Time with Bill Maher is quite good--the guests are PJ O'Rourke, Alan Cumming, and Gavin Newsome (mayor of San Francisco) - Trish Mar 1, 18:06 1
- It was a rather good episode. I thought last week's was rather dull. - Krusty Mar 1, 18:19
The Ninth Gate is on. It's one of those drop-everything-and-watch-it films for me. -- nm - nubby Mar 1, 17:53 2
- I love the original book. The film has some nice parts (love the music). -- nm - celedhrymandias Mar 1, 17:58
- Prince of Darkness as well for me. Scientists vs. Satan! -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 17:58
TAR spoiler - Buzz Mar 1, 17:43 2
- all that episode was missing was (spoiler) - prayformojo Mar 1, 18:10
- the gymnast helpers look like the landing party of an alien species. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 17:49
Anybody else here is reading "Trinity"? - celedhrymandias Mar 1, 17:40 27
- Yes. I'm hoping that DC will stop with the huge events after this and let us have a year or two of status quo - TWuG Mar 1, 17:46 24
  - These events sell huge. They're here to stay, I'm sure. -- nm - David Mar 1, 18:08 11
    - They do, but they also try the patience. I've dropped every Marvel title I was reading except Daredevil and 2 Ultimate titles specifically because - TWuG Mar 1, 18:13 9
      - Captain America and Daredevil are the only books I'm actively following on Marvel right now. - celedhrymandias Mar 1, 18:24
      - but they've not interfered. They were planned and accounted for. The policy now and for the past 3 years is that... - Remlik Mar 1, 18:22 2
        
        Except the do interfer. Marvel's events have sucked. And badly. The books that have tied in have sucked, too. - TWuG Mar 1, 18:34 1
        
        Sales indicate otherwise. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 18:38
      - Ms. Marvel is a joy and X-Factor's last two issues have been the gold standard. -- nm - David Mar 1, 18:14 4
        
        I don't think I've ever read an X book I've liked even after several tries over a decade. The stuff other people like just leaves me cold. -- nm - TWuG Mar 1, 18:15 3
        
        I'm generally with you on this. The Multiple Man character's existential crisis makes it stand out. -- nm - David Mar 1, 18:18 1
        
        I love the tweak they did to his powers, the Madrox LS was excellent -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 18:21
        
        this is pretty good, tends to stay out of the rest of the X-Universe. -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 18:17
    - They were "huger" when they felt more fresh, but I agree that I don't see them going away. - celedhrymandias Mar 1, 18:12
  - I must say the tendence of the Big 2 to chain event after event is really getting tiresome. - celedhrymandias Mar 1, 17:50 6
    - I find it depends on the event. Marvel's Annihilation twosome was the best thing from either the last couple of years. -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 17:51 5
      - That wasn't a company-wide even though, and had the nice idea of employing underused characters. -- nm - celedhrymandias Mar 1, 17:57
      - yeah it was. and we got Nova and Guardians of the Galaxy out of it. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 17:53 3
        
        War of Kings!!! -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 17:54 2
        
        Of all the books I expected to tie into War of Kings... (mini-mini-spoils) - TFox Mar 1, 18:05 1
        
        heh. .yeah...I was cracking up. But where else... - Remlik Mar 1, 18:23
  - yeah, uh no not happening. Blackest Night coming this summer from Johns. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 17:48 3
    - That doesn't seem to be taking over the whole universe, nor is battle for the cowl. - TWuG Mar 1, 17:59 1
      - Well that is what Marvel does for sure. But it looks like DC is following suit with Blackest Night. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 18:01
    - Didio! *fistshake* -- nm - the darcy Mar 1, 17:52
  - or just let Geoff Johns take over the whole shooting match. Everyone else is pretty useless -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 17:47
- We are. I think it's pretty weird. -- nm - David Mar 1, 17:45 1
  - That it is... *spoils* - celedhrymandias Mar 1, 17:48
I liked You Don't Mess with the Zohan. If that makes me almost as weird as pixie, I don't care. -- nm - David Mar 1, 17:39 8
- I really coulda done without the 30 minute ode to Sandler sexy, but the rest was moderately entertaining. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 18:29
- I was surprised how much I liked it, much better than I expected. -- nm - Krusty Mar 1, 18:20
- Listen to yourself, man! -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 17:48
- It had some shining moments - Epiphany Mar 1, 17:40 4
  - No porn for you! -- nm - David Mar 1, 17:44 3
    - Dude, that's mean. -- nm - Todd Manning Mar 1, 18:10 1
      - Says the dude threatening people with copies of Australia. -- nm - David Mar 1, 18:19
    - oh please - you have no idea where I am getting it so you can not cut it off! -- nm - Epiphany Mar 1, 17:49
Remlik, has DC released any of the golden age Black Canary stories in a bound collection yet? -- nm - peglegpete Mar 1, 17:35 3
- Yeah in the DC Archive series. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 17:40 2
  - hard or softcover? -- nm - peglegpete Mar 1, 17:42 1
    - hard. and only 1 book. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 17:45
I'm watching Another Gay Sequel and it's rotting my brain at its level of terribleness. -- nm - Qale Mar 1, 17:18 10
- Mushy mush. -- nm - Alec Baldwin Mar 1, 17:27
- that reminds me to move up my next netflix viewing to: The Lonely Hearts Club - I should own that - Epiphany Mar 1, 17:20 8
  - Do you mean Broken Hearts Club? Because that's actually a really good gay flick. - Qale Mar 1, 17:23 7
    - I agree, good film. -- nm - nubby Mar 1, 17:35
    - Yes - I should look before I post - rumor was that Emile was living/dating Andrew Keegan - Epiphany Mar 1, 17:25 5
      - mmmmmm ... Andrew Keegan ... -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 1, 17:29
      - A couple of years ago, I caught John Mayer on Carson Daly one night. - Trish Mar 1, 17:29 2
        
        Ack! -- nm - JANIS Mar 1, 17:40
        
        geesh - I have no idea either - maybe all three -- nm - Epiphany Mar 1, 17:33
      - I didn't realize The Mudge Boy was such a slut. *snicker* -- nm - Qale Mar 1, 17:27
LIR - I've read some Death Note - very interesting concept - Epiphany Mar 1, 17:17 6
- It's on adult swim on the comedy network - Trish Mar 1, 17:21 1
  - due to the storyline - that is definitely something I want to watch from the very beginning - Epiphany Mar 1, 17:26
- It's easily the most popular anime at the moment. -- nm - Qale Mar 1, 17:18 3
  - Little Pip says that is a bold statement but can not disagree - Epiphany Mar 1, 17:21 2
    - Barely misses the top mark in my opinion. - Qale Mar 1, 17:24 1
      - hee -- nm - Epiphany Mar 1, 17:26
Darcy shouldn't be replying to Remlik at all, since she is very very mad at him - crash davis Mar 1, 17:16 13
- Did somebody die and is going to be resurrected in the next more expensive series? - amoxy Mar 1, 17:22 6
  - Its simply the fact that DC cancelled it. Darcy complains about the lack of female comics, and that was her favorite of the few out there. -- nm - crash davis Mar 1, 17:25 5
    - I think she needs to read Ms. Marvel! - Remlik Mar 1, 17:30 4
      - Thanks, I've just been getting very disappointed with DC lately. - the darcy Mar 1, 17:47
      - She Hulk maybe? -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 17:31 2
        
        good call. X-factor as well. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 17:33 1
        
        Yup, Mrs. Marvel and She-Hulk are both on my reading list. - Stephen Mar 1, 17:51
- it's a good thing I never got you into art. the Cochrum X-Men #102 cover sold friday for $65,725 - peglegpete Mar 1, 17:21 3
  - I reckon if any of us cared about xmen that might mean something :) -- nm - Trish Mar 1, 17:23 2
    - Oh I think you are going to care about Wolverine's Gambit - care a lot - Epiphany Mar 1, 17:28 1
      - *laughing* I had a screen shot of Gambit as my wallpaper for a couple of months, I just took it down last week. - Trish Mar 1, 17:31
- but you've got Oracle book coming AND Gotham City Girls! -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 17:19
- This is true. Remlik, you are a bad man! |:( -- nm - the darcy Mar 1, 17:18

  - I'd get my ass handed to me. :( - the darcy Mar 1, 17:16 7
    - well, there are other games - tRuMaN Mar 1, 17:17 4

        dont have it. I may play masseffect tonight. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 1, 17:23
      - Burnout? -- nm - the darcy Mar 1, 17:19 1
        
        that's a fun racing car game, which can be smash em up! -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 17:20
    - I understand you're good on the DC vs. Mortal Kombat. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 17:16 1

    - *gasp* - pigby Mar 1, 17:21 2
      - sarcasm meter has just exploded -- nm - Epiphany Mar 1, 17:22 1

    - He is NOT creepy, he's intense and I love him. -- nm - Trish Mar 1, 17:25
I can't stand her but Ashley on Rock of Love bus is hilarious in her comments. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 17:11 3

  - yeah you don't want to go. But it's train wreck tv. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 17:29 1
