The WC has tricked me into watching more Univision... I just saw a TV show promo in which someone gets a bullet hole in the forehead - con_carne Jun 27, 09:21 4
- Also, Univision blatantly pulls for Latin countries in the WC. This amuses me because we get our panties in a bunch when NBC even slightly spends more - con_carne Jun 27, 09:23 3
  - Well maybe I'm thinking of the Canadians... and maybe znufrii -- nm - con_carne Jun 27, 10:30 1

Mara Re: Marketplace. Apparently I only changed my address on the profile page. When in actuality, you have to submit it as a Life Change. -- nm - Qale Jun 27, 09:07 5
- And apparently even though I only moved from one zip code to another in the same city, I have to reapply for everything. Blah. -- nm - Qale Jun 27, 09:10 4

    - Years back the P.O. changed our zip-code. Mercury tried to increase my car insurance premium....... - Meg Jun 27, 09:27 1
      - Your neighborhood suddenly became signifcantly more dangerous! -- nm - Wawa Jun 27, 09:28

  - Post Hollywood Celebrity Entitlement Syndrome when behaviors that were previously nurtured, encouraged even required are now repellent - zuitgusto Jun 27, 10:29
I'd read about this secret mission during WW2 before. It should be a movie. -- (link) - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 27, 08:54 2
- See "The Man who Never Was" (1956) - howie Jun 27, 09:00 1
  - Nice! -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 27, 09:38
so, Shia LeBeouf. A total mess, obviously. But this is a pretty tragic spiral, i mean, it's not going to end well, right? - Andie Jun 27, 08:54 21
- I still suspect Casey Affleck is documenting all this somehow. -- nm - Ender Jun 27, 09:29
- I don't think it's right to go around thinking drug and alcohol abuse is a matter of course for people, child actor or not - con_carne Jun 27, 09:26 1

  - i was thinking Britney, but, yeah. -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 08:55 4
    - I think Brit's got a bit of mental stuff going on, but keeps it in check. Lohan and Shia are just druggies. -- nm - Tyego97 Jun 27, 08:56 3
      - i actually think Shia might be sick too. maybe. -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 08:57 2
