So far i'm having issues adding the VM digital code. I'm getting an "Error 40014: Sorry, an error has occurred when trying to update your UltraViolet" - IrishStephen (Master of The Filthy Jockstrap) Mar 14, 10:39
I'm late to the party, but I just started watching Sherlock this week. Holy shnike, that show is fantastic. - kelly Mar 14, 10:34 14
- Which episode? -- nm - LMS Mar 14, 10:38 2
  - A Scandal in Belgravia (S2E1) -- nm - kelly Mar 14, 10:41 1
    - It gets even better. -- nm - LMS Mar 14, 10:45

  - While not as good there's always Jekyll while you wait. -- nm - LMS Mar 14, 10:46

      - Does anyone know if BBC America plans to air them? I can look obviously. - Mel Profit Mar 14, 10:39 5
        
        Rent the DVDs? You get all the extras then. -- nm - LMS Mar 14, 10:44 1
        
        that's likely what our late 90s set-up will require. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 14, 10:46
        
        Do you have Netflix? They're available to stream. -- nm - kelly Mar 14, 10:44 2
        
        Only up to season 2 on Netflix. You need BBC to see season 3, AFAIK. -- nm - Inigo Mar 14, 10:51
        
        we really should at the very least do this. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 14, 10:46

- I must admit I stopped reading when I saw: "I'm out, but my partner of 12 years doesn't know, so I'm not really out." - David Mar 14, 10:40

  - [deleted] 1
    - every play call wil be JAIL BREAK next season and everyone will just scatter... -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 10:34
okay, we've had my brother's cat for a month now (while they renovate their kitchen). - Andie Mar 14, 10:31 12
- I'd say so but remind them she needs to stay away from the litter box. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 10:35 5
  - oh, she knows. -- nm - Andie Mar 14, 10:37 1
    - Cool. :-) -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 10:39
  - yes, that is how I got stuck still scopping the litter 10+ years later... -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 10:36 2
    - 4 years here, but same (raw) deal. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 10:37 1
      - Ha! - to both of you. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 10:38
- what cat? you mean your cat? he's home now.... -- nm - Brother Mar 14, 10:32 5
  - Dave thinks they are delaying till they have their baby and then they can say "oh, can you keep him while we get settled with the baby...." - Andie Mar 14, 10:34 2
    - mayhap the wife is remembering those freaky old wives' tales about babies and cats? -- nm - Diva Mar 14, 10:35 1
      - i actually think it's more likely my brother than her. - Andie Mar 14, 10:38
  - Yeah, who moves a cat out for returns? -- nm - Spawndroid Mar 14, 10:34 1
    - oh, it made sense, they weren't staying at home, and basically the back of the house was a big hole. but it isn't anymore. -- nm - Andie Mar 14, 10:35
Come on Boston: Sam Adams Beer Pulls Out of Boston St. Patrick's Day Parade Over Refusal of Gay Groups -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 10:31 1

Mel: You know, I never watched Wiseguy ... but a moment ago I just looked up Kevin Spacey on IMDb. Derp. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 10:26 3
- Rich and Crazy which is what I was going for back in my HSX Phase. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 14, 10:27 2

    - Just give me a few 6 figure checks to start and see what I come up with... - Mel Profit Mar 14, 10:34
Speaking of NFL metrics, can you guess who the highest graded Seattle Seahawk was last year? -- nm - David Mar 14, 10:26 21
- Seattle's defense by PFF grading... - David Mar 14, 10:51
- Hint: it is a defensive player. The best offensive player was Russell Wilson, whose steady play earned him a spectacular grade of 23.1. - David Mar 14, 10:36 11
  - Chancellor -- nm - Shaun Mar 14, 10:44
  - How about MIchael Bennett? nm - Jim Mar 14, 10:37 7
    - You're getting warmer. Bennett was their second best player last year at 24.2. - David Mar 14, 10:39 6
      - [deleted] 5
        
        Much, much colder. Clemons was actually lousy at -7.7. -- nm - David Mar 14, 10:41 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        Mebane was the proverbial rolling bucket of blades with a score of 36.2. He was the third best DT in football behind McCoy and Suh. - David Mar 14, 10:46 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        What it reinforces is how important DT is in the pass-happy NFL. - David Mar 14, 10:52
  - [deleted] 1
    - Kam would have been my guess but he is actually their lower graded safety at 6.1. -- nm - David Mar 14, 10:38
- Beast Mode? -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 10:30 1
  - Beast Mode was the third best RB in football with an 18.5 but he was not the best Seahawk. - David Mar 14, 10:34
- Earl Thomas, is what my sources are telling me -- nm - prayformojo Mar 14, 10:29 2
  - yeesh, my sources suck - prayformojo Mar 14, 10:34 1
    - I'm sayin'! -- nm - David Mar 14, 10:34
- [deleted]
- Earl Thomas? -- nm - Jim Mar 14, 10:28 1
  - Nope. Thomas had a solid 7.5, making him the 9th best safety in the league. -- nm - David Mar 14, 10:33
Nice explanation of the big Bronco contracts (as well as other FA deals). - Jim Mar 14, 10:26
[deleted] 5
- right? -- nm - CQ Mar 14, 10:29
- Glad you got it. -- nm - spamlet Mar 14, 10:22 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - I thought echeck payments were free but I guess not. - spamlet Mar 14, 10:37 1
      - I have run money leagues before and the tracking down of $ pissed me off so much. -- nm - CQ Mar 14, 10:38
Technical support is working on my computer remotely. It's freaking me out to see stuff happening without me typing. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 10:15 4
- yeah, we do this too. i always close *everything* before i hit "accept" to the remote request. -- nm - Andie Mar 14, 10:24
- we use that alot here, always have to remember not to go to ST while they are working on something. -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 10:23
- heh, my wife deals with this on occasion. Panic! -- nm - CQ Mar 14, 10:20
- We need to send Colin to speechify at your company -- nm - con_carne Mar 14, 10:17
LYC: My youngest boy has caught my oldest boy in shoe size. Dude has flippers -- nm - CQ Mar 14, 10:13 5
- My 9 year old daughter wears a size 8 woman's shoe. Poor kid looks like she has clown shoes. - spamlet Mar 14, 10:16 4
  - oh, i feel her pain. i had huge feet too. -- nm - Andie Mar 14, 10:19 2
    - We tried to find her boots this winter. All we could find were *ahem* adult boots. -- nm - spamlet Mar 14, 10:23 1
      - *pictures spam's daughter in red pleather, knee high boots with 5 inch heels.* -- nm - Andie Mar 14, 10:25
  - wow. that's a big foot for a little girl. My mom had big feet for her size and I do somewhat (size 12), but I have no idea from the other half dna -- nm - CQ Mar 14, 10:19
FINALLY! - David Mar 14, 10:11 8
- Settle down, ML. -- nm - spamlet Mar 14, 10:13 7
  - [deleted] 1
    - It's the best compliment you've ever been given here. - David Mar 14, 10:16
  - Now to watch it four times before Kim gets home.. -- nm - David Mar 14, 10:14 4
    - *arches eyebrow* -- nm - Kim Pine Mar 14, 10:21 3
      - Hey sexy. I didn't see you over there... -- nm - David Mar 14, 10:22 2
        
        Tamara's all like, "Yes! My seat! It's all mine!" -- nm - Kim Pine Mar 14, 10:26 1
        
        God, I love you. -- nm - David Mar 14, 10:32
Marvin Lewis gets 1 year extension with the Bengals -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 10:08 18
- I wish he could coach for a higher quality organization, but I'm glad he's made them a winner despite their owner. -- nm - Inigo Mar 14, 10:11 8
  - [deleted] 7
    - They were 70-144 before he got there, so... -- nm - Inigo Mar 14, 10:19 6
      - Scratch that. They were 64-144 before he got there. - Inigo Mar 14, 10:23 4
        
        A non-football playing owner should never be in charge of personnel. I don't care who his father was. -- nm - David Mar 14, 10:24 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        Davis probably had a higher football IQ than Bill Walsh (or Belichick). It's a shame people only know him as a punchline. -- nm - David Mar 14, 10:28 1
        
        [deleted]
      - [deleted]
- He seems like a cat who would be cool with rolling 1 year extensions from here on out. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 14, 10:09 8
  - [deleted] 7
    - I like Zimmer a lot,but I think that had more to do with lack of talent then anything else. -- nm - Inigo Mar 14, 10:12 6
      - There are not a lot of football who I believe coach players up beyond average. Zimmer is high on the list of guys who max talent. -- nm - David Mar 14, 10:13 5
        
        I agree with that, but I meant more that Marvin knows defense. - Inigo Mar 14, 10:17 4
        
        A lot depends on how fully Atkins recovers. He is the key to their entire front 7. - David Mar 14, 10:21 2
        
        I agree with that. If Atkins come back healthy, it sets up their whole defense. - Inigo Mar 14, 10:27 1
        
        Right now, I'm inclined to think ML is right but a good draft would change that. - David Mar 14, 10:31

Annie Hall, though the Russian Roulette scene in The Deer Hunter might get more pop cultural play. I dunno anymore. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 14, 10:08
When I received my Mac Pro, I may have opened the box with Also Sprach Zarathustra playing in the background. Maybe. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 10:02
Probably "The Sandlot" -- nm - amoxy Mar 14, 10:00 1
- Uh huh. And, I have never seen Goonies. -- nm - con_carne Mar 14, 10:00
Doug Ford (Rob's brother) calls Kevin Spacey 'an arrogant S.O.B.' -- (link) - Beaker Mar 14, 10:00 13
- source, but it wouldn't shock me. -- nm - Max Mar 14, 10:35
- i'm guessing Mr Spacey didn't want anything to do with him in that green room. - Andie Mar 14, 10:11 9
  - It would be really funny to see Kevin Spacey do a bootcamp program on Mr Ford -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 10:19 2
    - or an impersonation. -- nm - Diva Mar 14, 10:22 1
      - That would be fabulous and disturbing. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 10:27
  - Ford was probably red-faced, sweaty, reeking of booze + bursting out of his shirt as per usual. i wouldn't want to take a pic w/that fat f*ck either. -- nm - Diva Mar 14, 10:14 5
    - Poll: If you were in the green room with Ford, would you let him take a photo with you? - ty97 Mar 14, 10:19 3
      - tons of people do it here for the joke FB status. but, if i am a public figure, NOT a chance. -- nm - Andie Mar 14, 10:21 1
        
        this -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 10:21
      - No. He would smell too bad for me to get anywhere near him to take the pic. -- nm - Diva Mar 14, 10:21
    - right? -- nm - Andie Mar 14, 10:15
- he'szh not wrong. -- nm - tim mie si Mar 14, 10:06 1
  - tim mie doesn't like many people but I suspect he's right about the ole SpaceMonster. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 14, 10:26
Whitey! -- nm - con_carne Mar 14, 09:59
or we could just drink the wine. that would work too. -- nm - Diva Mar 14, 09:58 2
- I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Diva. -- nm - HAL9000 Mar 14, 09:59 1
  - ha! :) -- nm - Diva Mar 14, 10:03
DINGERS! -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 09:58
