I can haz water! Now just waiting for Steve the water guy to clear out and I can shower & get to work. Just in time for lunch :) - JenBro Mar 5, 07:43 2
- Why are you waiting for Steve to depart? Put on the Barry White and get in the shower -- nm - ty97 Mar 5, 07:47 1
  - don't shower with someone with more cleavage than you -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 5, 13:39
well fuck. my books are delayed. Weather out of Memphis means no new comics for my shops to sell. -- nm - Remlik Mar 5, 07:43 14
- I sense some villainy here. -- nm - Max Mar 5, 08:05
- VP as well (obvie). - Spawn Lord Mar 5, 07:49 2
  - Carny and the other stores that use UPS got them. -- nm - Remlik Mar 5, 07:50 1
    - ACK! I called VP to confirm, and no books. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 5, 07:55
- Real Pushermans don't let themselves get pushed around by the supply chain. -- nm - Reagen Mar 5, 07:47 1
  - even I can only do so much. -- nm - Remlik Mar 5, 07:49
- On the plus side, Bub doesn't have to go to community college -- nm - con_carne Mar 5, 07:45 1
  - I think he starts grad school this week. -- nm - Remlik Mar 5, 07:46
- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! -- nm - Nerds Mar 5, 07:43 5
  - hardy har har. I do 35% of my sales on Wed. -- nm - Remlik Mar 5, 07:46 4
    - How about a "the polar vortex has been vanquished!" promotion when they finally arrive? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 07:48 3
      - wait...you mean sell things at a discount? -- nm - Remlik Mar 5, 07:49 2
        
        No, that would be a sale. I said a promotion. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 07:53
        
        well, after you raise the prices by 75% first... -- nm - nAmUrT Mar 5, 07:50
Ok, so, I've got an interview with the company in London tomorrow at 11AM. That's fast. - colin Mar 5, 07:42 5
- Yeah, that's what I found when I thought about London. Salaries were probably a little lower than here, and it's much more expensive. - the King of Argentina Mar 5, 07:47 2
  - i'm going to do the phone interview, then tell them i couldn't consider without more money. - colin Mar 5, 07:50 1
    - Good luck! I know one guy who swung a company car, since his job involves driving all over creation. - the King of Argentina Mar 5, 07:55
- so you're writing this while heading to the airport? -- nm - Reagen Mar 5, 07:43 1
  - I told them 4 weeks after accepting the offer, I could be there working. Seems a bit insane... -- nm - colin Mar 5, 07:43
So, Bradley Cooper: In 5 years, is he relevant or an also-ran? -- nm - ty97 Mar 5, 07:37 11
- he will be one of the leading men in hollywood. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 5, 07:52
- Relevant in he won't be Brad Pitt levels, but he will be on par with Hugh Jackman imo. - Will Hunting Mar 5, 07:41 3
  - this. He does have a range. -- nm - Remlik Mar 5, 07:42
  - Yup, I agree with this -- nm - groiny Mar 5, 07:42
  - I agree with this. - Bacon Mar 5, 07:41
- I like him, i think he will be around quite a while -- nm - groiny Mar 5, 07:40
- I still cannot believe that the guy from Kitchen Confidential became a star. -- nm - David Mar 5, 07:39 2
  - Yeah, I'm still baffled that Will from Alias is an A-list Oscar nominee. -- nm - ty97 Mar 5, 07:40 1
    - Yeah, but you could say the same about the dickish boss from Roseanne (or even dr. Doug Ross). - the King of Argentina Mar 5, 07:52
- He looks like a schlub. I don't get why he's supposed to be so sexy/handsome -- nm - con_carne Mar 5, 07:39
- i think he settles into B+ List territory. -- nm - Andie Mar 5, 07:38
[deleted]
Anybody want Mafic's property? I'm selling it cheap. -- nm - David Mar 5, 07:33 1
- Two bits! -- nm - Bacon Mar 5, 07:34
It must have been a good Oscars...it's Wednesday and we haven't talked about fashion at all. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 5, 07:24 12
- Because 90% of the fashion was so damn boring. -- nm - ty97 Mar 5, 07:32
- [deleted]
- I missed fashion police but my wife and I were commenting during the ceremony and red carpet that there didn't seem to be many "misses". -- nm - volnelk Mar 5, 07:25 9
  - [deleted] 1
    - I think they should all be shamed for dressing so boring. -- nm - ty97 Mar 5, 07:34
  - i didn't hate Julia's dress, as a dress, but i didn't think it worked on her. -- nm - Andie Mar 5, 07:27 6
    - Yeah, not great. But there didn't seem to be any "oh my god" dresses in a negative way. -- nm - volnelk Mar 5, 07:28 5
      - Yeah, nothing really made me wonder "Why?" but there weren't any that made me proclaim "Daymn!" - Will Hunting Mar 5, 07:30 4
        
        Mmmm... Halle Berry Oscar dress... -- nm - con_carne Mar 5, 07:38
        
        Yeah. Lupita's in the duck egg blue dress certainly had people talking. It was striking. -- nm - volnelk Mar 5, 07:32 2
        
        The dress maybe, but she doesn't have the body to wear something like that imo. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 5, 07:41 1
        
        What would you suggest she wear instead? - Kelsey Marftinez Mar 5, 07:48
Need some new artwork? Like vintage posters? Here are a bajillion you can download for free (print yourself, or send out for large scale printing) -- (link) - Andie Mar 5, 07:22 1 1
- Thanks -- nm - con_carne Mar 5, 07:32
What?! How can you diss I Love You, Man?! -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 07:22 3
- Slappin' de bess -- nm - con_carne Mar 5, 07:32 1
  - You have a jerkoff station? -- nm - groiny Mar 5, 07:34
- He is nuts! -- nm - groiny Mar 5, 07:30
Wow, BBC Three to be axed as on-air channel. -- (link) - LMS Mar 5, 07:13 5
- I don't see a problem with that. It's the future. Might as well start with the channel that most closely targets the right demo. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 5, 07:18
- i suspect we'll see a lot of this moving forward.. -- nm - colin Mar 5, 07:14 3
  - They do some really good comedies and dramas. Guess I won't be watching any more Family Guy either. -- nm - LMS Mar 5, 07:18 2
    - because I don't know: you have cable service over there yes? -- nm - Remlik Mar 5, 07:27 1
      - I currently do, but I get most of my TV via a Freeview box so would no longer get that station. Lets see how the campaign to save it goes. - LMS Mar 5, 07:36
hmmm....I sense a disturbance in the force coming from Brooklyn...can't quite put my finger on it. -- nm - Remlik Mar 5, 07:12
It occurs to me that John Travolta must have dyslexia and we've all been mocking a guy with a handicap. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 5, 07:12 13
- He was brought onstage on the premise that he represented musicals. He didn't know the name of the biggest Broadway star of her generation. - ty97 Mar 5, 07:34 1
  - [deleted]
- Bottom line, he should have known who he was introducing. -- nm - Mop on Samsung Galaxy S3 Mar 5, 07:30
- I think he just has really poor eyesight, and his high-level Scientologist ego won't allowe him to admit it. -- nm - Inigo Mar 5, 07:19 7
  - There were more mistakes with the teleprompter than I have ever seen that night. I even made a comment before he screwed up her name. - Bacon Mar 5, 07:21 2
    - Seems like that happens a lot lately. I suppose they just obviously don't prep or rehearse so producers are just guessing as to who can do what. -- nm - volnelk Mar 5, 07:24 1
      - I will say technology reliance will cause people to fail. I couldn't tell you my wife's phone number unless I look at my smart phone. - Bacon Mar 5, 07:26
  - Very possible...but he had to know ahead of time what he was there to do, right? - Jim Mar 5, 07:20 2
    - this is where i am at. KNOW HER NAME. on the other hand, by messing it up, i guarantee about 5 times as many people now know her real name than did - Andie Mar 5, 07:36
    - I'd guess he was convinced he had the poor eyesight thing cured. - Inigo Mar 5, 07:24
  - *allow* -- nm - Inigo Mar 5, 07:20
- Based on the way it was mispronounced, I totally agree. In fact, Scientology is renowned for curing* people of this. - Beryllium Mar 5, 07:17
- I'll mock him for being an actor and not being able to remember 3 lines instead - Will Hunting Mar 5, 07:15
So I found out last night that my daughter is getting teased (read: bullied) because other students know that I am an atheist and my brother - TWuG Mar 5, 07:07 16
- Athiests are as much likely to go to Narnia as they are to hell. -- nm - LMS Mar 5, 07:51 1
  - Ha, yup! Can't threaten us with going to Hell when we don't believe it exists. - Krusty Mar 5, 08:02
- ugh, sorry to hear that. people are vile. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 5, 07:51
- crap -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Mar 5, 07:48
- Very sorry. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 5, 07:41
- Awful. Make as much noise with the school as you need to. -- nm - Inigo Mar 5, 07:31
- :( -- nm - Epiphany Mar 5, 07:30
- [deleted]
- "Bullying" is such a hot topic word right now, I'm sure the school will do their best to get involved. -- nm - Jim Mar 5, 07:18 1
  - ha. I like your optimism. -- nm - Reagen Mar 5, 07:48
- Ugly. I hope the school gets involved and stops this. -- nm - Bacon Mar 5, 07:17 1
  - If she goes online, might want to check with her or the sites she uses to make sure it's not following her online. - Bacon Mar 5, 07:19
- Remind your daughter that atheists eat Christian children. She should pass on this information. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 5, 07:14 1
  - ... - Beryllium Mar 5, 07:17
- how old is she? in any situation, knowing you're going to get that crap every day is hard. glad she has a good dad :) -- nm - colin Mar 5, 07:12
- Kids can be so mean. Sorry - that just sucks -- nm - JenBro Mar 5, 07:12
I'm surprised the King of Argentina is worried about trickle down economics. -- nm - spamlet Mar 5, 06:56 1
- That part of the world tends to get...shooty... with rulers. It's self-preservation. - Reagen Mar 5, 07:04
[deleted] 15
- If you mean at the awards, in those dresses most women do not carry things like that. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 5, 07:15 4
  - they were all carrying little clutch purses. why not slip some cash in there. - colin Mar 5, 07:19 1
    - Most of them go back to cars/rooms etc before the next event to at least freshen up if not change clothes. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 5, 07:27
  - Word...look to the dudes. They still have pockets. I would bet there wasn't $20 to be found among the women combined. Why would there be? -- nm - Jim Mar 5, 07:16 1
    - For example, I don't usually carry my wallet when I go to a wedding. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 5, 07:28
- a friend of ours used to work in a celebrity bar in NYC - lots of celebs came in. he said that for the most part, they didn't have cash and were - colin Mar 5, 07:05 1
  - yup, don't forget, she'll change outfits before the parties, she has a pa, a hairdresser, driver and security guard -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 5, 13:45
- I can't remember - did anyone else besides Leo turn down the pizza? -- nm - JenBro Mar 5, 07:03 2
  - i don't think Angelina had any - but if i was wearing a white dress i probably wouldn't have either. -- nm - Andie Mar 5, 07:06 1
    - I was surprised to see Leto take any, white tux and all. Course, he handed it off to his mom pretty quick. :) -- nm - Jim Mar 5, 07:10
- i also think a benefit to Ellen doing it is, she has probably met *all* of those people many times over. She's comfortable with them already. -- nm - Andie Mar 5, 06:46
- Yep, it was a lot more comfortable than normal. - Will Hunting Mar 5, 06:45 3
  - [deleted]
  - For any of these gags to really work, Ellen has to know her audience. For example...the selfie gag...you KNOW Jennifer Lawrence will be down for that - Jim Mar 5, 06:48 1
    - Right. The talk show really helps. -- nm - Mop on Samsung Galaxy S3 Mar 5, 07:33
So ... they clamp an electical thing inside on my receiving water main and use it to heat the line from inside the house out to the City line where it - JenBro Mar 5, 06:36 7
- [deleted] 6
  - I wondered the same thing ... but the guy is staying at the main and they've been doing 7-10 per day - so I'm guessing he's got it down by now. - JenBro Mar 5, 06:50 5
    - Or, they know wtf they are doing and won't start a fire. -- nm - spamlet Mar 5, 06:56 4
      - [deleted] 2
        
        Actually here it is even deeper - probably because of all the springs due to Lake Michigan. -- nm - JenBro Mar 5, 07:05 1
        
        [deleted]
      - Yep - this seems to be what it is ... I think? -- (link) - JenBro Mar 5, 07:02
Pippy, some tour news you may like: Linkin Park with 30 Seconds to Mars and AFI. -- nm - MDH Mar 5, 06:18 7
- I was on it yesterday like white on rice - Sept 6 in Dallas - I got my peeps in line - Epiphany Mar 5, 06:24 6
  - y'all gonna have f-u-n... -- nm - Diva Mar 5, 06:27
  - Ricist -- nm - Brown rice Mar 5, 06:24 3
    - I'm into sweet sweet Jasmine. -- nm - Epiphany Mar 5, 06:25 2
      - Caw! Caw! Caw! -nm -- nm - Lesbivul...oh you were talking about the rice Mar 5, 06:32 1
        
        ....or was I? - Epiphany Mar 5, 06:48
  - I have seen them all ( some numerous times) and they are great - should be a fantastic show. thanks for the heads up -- nm - Epiphany Mar 5, 06:24
I love how that 'selfie' article immediately says "Hollywood big-wigs (and one bigwig's brother)" - Will Hunting Mar 5, 06:06 26
- [deleted] 24
  - apparently he was told he he was delivering pizza to the writers backstage, which would have been probably exciting enough! -- nm - Andie Mar 5, 06:25
  - Do we really think this? I bet he was 'cast' and vetted in advance and that he was there for rehearsals. - ty97 Mar 5, 06:22 22
    - Cast and vetted in that Ellen has ordered from there in the past, and the guy happened to also be co-owner -- nm - con_carne Mar 5, 07:06
    - We are America in 2014. We got people who can find the negative slant to a story about a kid with cancer living life to the fullest - Will Hunting Mar 5, 06:28 7
      - [deleted] 4
        
        I think that this actually makes a pretty good bit into a really great bit by saying it's real - Will Hunting Mar 5, 06:42 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        We're agreeing with each other. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 5, 06:46 1
        
        [deleted]
      - Stupid cancer kids getting free stuff all the time! - the King of Argentina Mar 5, 06:33 1
        
        The kid wouldn't have cancer if his mom hadn't smoked crack when she was pregnant! -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 5, 06:35
    - I can't get over he even knows and likes Julia Roberts - he looks too young for that -- nm - Epiphany Mar 5, 06:25
    - no, i think it's legit. he is not an actor, he is a russian pizza dude. -- nm - Andie Mar 5, 06:24 11
      - Yes, he is a pizza guy. But does that mean he wasn't selected in advance and they didn't practice? - ty97 Mar 5, 06:26 10
        
        [deleted]
        
        I don't think they practiced, but I'm sure they've been ordering pizza from them for weeks for the writers. -- nm - Ender Mar 5, 06:34
        
        I don't think they'd need to. They surprise the kid, it looks more genuine, a fuckup in that situation is understandable, and Ellen has worked with - the King of Argentina Mar 5, 06:31 1
        
        The only thing I'd really imagine them saying is you can't curse in the writers room. - Will Hunting Mar 5, 06:35
        
        i really don't think so. really. and i am pretty jaded and realistic about television and how it works. -- nm - Andie Mar 5, 06:28 5
        
        (btw - i totally think the producers knew in advance they would order pizza, but i don't think the delivery guy was in on it.) -- nm - Andie Mar 5, 06:34 4
        
        I'm sure they ordered ahead and said "Yeah, we need it here at 6PM (or whatever)". That wouldn't be an unusual order. -- nm - Ender Mar 5, 06:35 3
        
        I didn't read most of the other comments so it may have been mentioned, but he said yesterday that he was told he was delivering to "writers". -- nm - Kelsey Marftinez Mar 5, 07:06
        
        yep. -- nm - Andie Mar 5, 06:47

Must've been a busy day yesterday. Forgot to do my crossword puzzle and update my StarBond holdings. - Was Bar Was Mar 5, 06:02
Pretty cool photo, if it's nonphotoshopped: Chicago Reflected in Lake Michigan from an Airplane -- (link) - prayformojo Mar 5, 05:57 1
- that is cool. -- nm - Andie Mar 5, 06:00
*smears ashes on B2* -- nm - Was Bar Was Mar 5, 05:56 1
