Mark Cuban: "I'm the one guy who says 'don't force stupid people to be quiet.' I want to know who the morons are." -- (link) - Beaker May 22, 07:46 5

- That makes sense in some contexts. But stupid is catching and if stupid can be kept in a box so others aren't influenced, that's good, too. -- nm - TWuG May 22, 07:48 3
  - Is Sterling really influencing people? - Strongbad May 22, 07:52 2
    - I think Sterling is the context where we do want it in the open. Ditto with the Chik-Fil-A people and the Hobby Lobby people, etc. - TWuG May 22, 07:58
    - I think it's probably both. I'm not sure anything has only one effect. -- nm - mara May 22, 07:56

Challange: Explain "Mumblecore" in one sentence. Tried explaining it last weekend and failed spectacularly. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 22, 07:34 6
- Low budget and the acting style. Should have nailed both, but didn't. Said it was indie, but low budget better descibes it. Said it was small stories. - Name Withheld By Request May 22, 07:41
- Mumblecore is a subgenre of American independent film characterized by low budget production values and amateur actors, heavily focused on - mara May 22, 07:39
- Low budget movies that take place in real places and feature real conversations. -- nm - volnelk May 22, 07:38

Toronto STers: Is Yorkville super far from Downtown Toronto? The Bank also has a nice deal going with the Four Seasons there. - Diva May 22, 07:32 3
- it is basically the northern edge of what torontonians would call downtown. it is Yonge and Bloor - which is basically the 'centre' of town (where - Andie May 22, 07:35 2
  - Just don't get it confused with the dozens of other neighbourhoods with 'York' in the name. - Roger More May 22, 07:41

    - it was...interesting. -- nm - znufrii May 22, 07:29 6

    - Maybe it's better coaching too. He has talent, there's not doubt about it. But that fastball would get smacked around the park so much it was - Krusty May 22, 07:01 5

Given that they haven't had a payroll below 107mill since 2007 until this year, the Cubs need to STFU about how their lack of revenue keeps them from being competitive... -- nm - Ender May 22, 06:29 5
- But if they don't complain about a lack of revenue and dangle a carrot five years down the road they won't get their hotel. - spamlet May 22, 06:58 2
  - I disagree with the ad revenue piece. I do agree that they need to renovate the clubhouses, bullpens and interior infrastructure. -- nm - volnelk May 22, 07:36 1
    - Yes, but that would be investing in the parts of the stadium that don't generate revenue and the Ricketts have no interest in that. -- nm - spamlet May 22, 08:01
- [deleted] 1
  - But their revenue means they can only pay those shitty players 140 million dollars!!! -- nm - Ender May 22, 06:35
TV PSA: The Bachelorette, Last Comic Standing (2 hour premiere), Hell's Kitchen, Gang Related (premiere), other stuff -- nm - Beaker May 22, 06:29 2
- Gold star for you today. I had no idea LCS was on again -- nm - oblique May 22, 07:36 1
  - It isn't. - Spawn Lord May 22, 07:36
This could be fun. What bands would you book for a festival? Based on these costs. -- (link) - volnelk May 22, 06:27 15
- Beebs & Her Moneymakers. They're *fun*. -- nm - JaxSean May 22, 07:18
- Some of these are very incorrect, and way overstated (my friend books at a venue in DC). -- nm - MDH May 22, 07:15 4
  - That said, for every one that's overstated, there's the 1 that is $2M understated (Madonna). -- nm - MDH May 22, 07:15 3
    - I think the highest they show is 1 million+ so I think that many of them could be 3-5 million. -- nm - volnelk May 22, 07:28 2
      - Plus, who would pay that for Madonna? I'd pay $1,000 to never hear from her again. -- nm - JaxSean May 22, 07:44 1
        
        Send me $1k and I will make that happen. -- nm - Spawn Lord May 22, 07:47
- Fitz for $30k-50k is a definite steal. Though, Googol Bordello would be an intensely fun show. -- nm - spamlet May 22, 06:54
- Green Day $500k, Justin Bieber $1M - amoxy May 22, 06:42
- The Trews for $3-$5k is a steal. Fantastic band -- nm - Beaker May 22, 06:32
- I've got nothing. The cheap acts are either groups/people I don't want to hear or I've never heard of them. DJ Green Lantern might be okay for a - Krusty May 22, 06:32 4
  - I struggled with the last list. The 10-20 list though, I could make some noise with starting with De La Soul. -- nm - volnelk May 22, 06:36 3
    - With that section I could put together a decent festival. Rakim, De La Soul, Biz Markie, Clipse, Everlast and Asher Roth. - Krusty May 22, 06:41 2
      - Can't you just call up Everlast now? - spamlet May 22, 06:56 1
        
        I met his old partner, Danny Boy. Close. I've met and hung out with Danny Boy a few times now, nicest guy. - Krusty May 22, 07:07
- Heck, at those prices, I may hire Dirty Heads to play my birthday party. -- nm - volnelk May 22, 06:29
Savor that victory, Jenbro -- nm - prayformojo May 22, 06:25 1

I am itching to go away somewhere. A vacation sounds *so* appealing right about now. -- nm - kelly May 22, 06:25 35

  - there's a GREAT place for Key Lime Pie - RIGHT before the bridge to cross over to Key West - Mangrove Mama's - JenBro May 22, 06:51 3
    - noted, thanks! :) -- nm - znufrii May 22, 06:55 2
      - you bet! We actually camped on Sand Key last trip - nice campground there - and made day trips over to Key West instead of staying there. -- nm - JenBro May 22, 07:03 1
        
        loving this idea. any other tips? -- nm - znufrii May 22, 07:22
- Alaska Cruise!! -- nm - Bacon via Google Nexus 10 May 22, 06:42
- *waves* Its supposed to be mid 20's/70's this weekend and sunny here :D -- nm - Walt_Disney May 22, 06:28 6
  - heh. (No passport!) -- nm - kelly May 22, 06:31 5
    - The perfect opportunity to get one! -- nm - Roger More May 22, 06:53
    - I totally thought he was telling you to go to Disney :) ("why does she need a passport to go to Florida?") -- nm - Beaker May 22, 06:33 3
      - You *should* have to have a passport to go to Florida. -- nm - Reagen May 22, 06:58 1
        
        "Sorry, you're too smart to enter this state" -- nm - spamlet May 22, 06:59
      - If there was a way to get to Disney soon and it didn't cost an arm and a leg, I'd be there in a heartbeat. :) -- nm - kelly May 22, 06:40
- I swear I was going to email you and Diva this weekend about a trip to Boston in the next few weeks. - Krusty May 22, 06:27 20
  - your IM is how we live everyday at our house. Git. Up. Here. -- nm - Diva May 22, 07:19 1
    - Sweet! :-) I'll send the email and we'll work out the details. -- nm - Krusty May 22, 07:21
  - get up here. -- nm - Mel Profit May 22, 07:17 1
    - :-) I'm coming back! -- nm - Krusty May 22, 07:22
  - Heh, I was just looking at hotels in NYC. I'm thinking the only kind of vacation that would be relaxing these days is a child-free one, and that's not - kelly May 22, 06:33 15
    - Send N up for a weekend with Princess Disney....its been a few months since they saw each other and they need bonding time -- nm - Walt_Disney May 22, 06:47
    - Mop and LMS are here next month -- nm - ty97 May 22, 06:43
    - I need a break from this city for a few days. I was going to leave early on a Friday so I could have extra time there. - Krusty May 22, 06:37 12
      - We've only met once - right? The Mets game (Aug 2007, I think)? -- nm - kelly May 22, 06:39 11
        
        Yup. :-) And you were not feeling well. :-( - Krusty May 22, 06:43 10
        
        Yeah, that's putting it mildly. :) (I have yet to be as sick as I was that night before. UGH.) - kelly May 22, 06:48 6
        
        That your brother is here makes it more surprising. It's not easy to get away with a little one in tow but as he gets older it won't - Krusty May 22, 06:51 5
        
        I think it's just that to me, NYC = $$$$. It doesn't seem like something you can do on a tight budget. So I just haven't bothered. -- nm - kelly May 22, 06:56 4
        
        I'm poor and live here. You can do NYC on the cheap and still have a wonderful time. -- nm - Krusty May 22, 07:12 3
        
        Okay, okay... :) -- nm - kelly May 22, 07:20 1
        
        :-) -- nm - Krusty May 22, 07:43
        
        this -- nm - Diva May 22, 07:18
        
        Might that have been Mangorita Weekend? -- nm - Diva May 22, 06:47 2
        
        *shudders* -- nm - znufrii May 22, 06:55
        
        That's the one. -- nm - kelly May 22, 06:49
I wasn't around yesterday to post this but Kansas has signed the 16 year old Ukrainian bball phenom. This kid has crazy skills for his age. -- (link) - Krusty May 22, 06:23 1
- This is a better highlight reel. Very nice ball handling and all around game. What a great incoming class. -- (link) - Krusty May 22, 06:24 [youtube]
Quick Survivor thought from last night...did anyone, during the season, (spoils) - Jim May 22, 06:22 7
- I hadn't considered it. But now that you bring it up, I wouldn't have been surprised either way. -- nm - Strongbad May 22, 07:44
- i am totally not watching but read this anyway - question... - Andie May 22, 06:24 2
  - Well, he's a very larger than life kinda character for one. He played balls to the wall from Day 1 (spoils) - Jim May 22, 06:28 1
    - interesting. -- nm - Andie May 22, 06:36
- anyone of us as a viewer? I never considered it. -- nm - volnelk May 22, 06:23 2
  - Yeah, that's what I meant. It never even crossed my mind. Maybe cause he talked about them in confessionals - Jim May 22, 06:24 1
    - Probably came up during Ponderosa conversations between people he voted out. -- nm - volnelk May 22, 06:32
i hate when things sneak up on you. I just realized i am taking a train to Ottawa *tomorrow* for the weekend. - Andie May 22, 06:12 13
- I have a flight tonight. I forgot to do laundry. And I haven't packed. Oops. -- nm - ty97 May 22, 06:44 1
  - Drunk packing is awesome! -- nm - Spawn Lord May 22, 07:14
- I hate those weeks where everything is right on top of you before you see it coming. - Krusty May 22, 06:26
- Yeah, I'm a little over 2 weeks from going on vacation and it feels like it's a month or more away. - TWuG May 22, 06:15
- Ottawa, Kansas? I drive through there on the way to my parents' house. Usually stop at Wendy's for a chicken sammich. -- nm - Was Bar Was May 22, 06:14 8
  - Ottawa, Ontario. The capital of Canada. :) -- nm - Andie May 22, 06:17 7
    - Whoa...you guys got a capital up there? Good for you! ;) -- nm - Jim May 22, 06:18 6
      - Do you think they named it after the Kansas one? -- nm - Was Bar Was May 22, 06:18 5
        
        I'd say there's at least a 97% chance they did, eh -- nm - Jim May 22, 06:20 3
        
        a quick google would indicate that both places were named for the Ottawa people who lived in both locations. -- nm - Andie May 22, 06:21 2
        
        (i know you were joking, and i knew what our Ottawa was named for, i just wanted to confirm the other) -- nm - Andie May 22, 06:22 1
        
        That's cool. Thanks for sharing. Now we both know. -- nm - Was Bar Was May 22, 06:29
        
        *probably* not. -- nm - Andie May 22, 06:19
