- Never put Marvel and DC in the same group. - Spawn Lord Jul 7, 12:25 3
  - Yeah, I don't think I've ever drawn a bigger false equivalence than that post. - Beryllium Jul 7, 12:26
  - Are you saying DC is superior to Marvel? -- nm - Budicio Jul 7, 12:25 1
    - Only in the amount that DC is superior at sucking. -- nm - TWuG Jul 7, 12:28
partially shocking, there is a hotel in bowling green, mo - Truman Jul 7, 12:18
mafic around? I could probably do lunch on Wed. My office is at Yonge and Bloor. -- nm - zork Jul 7, 12:11 3
- You totally made up those street names. -- nm - Wawa Jul 7, 12:26 1
  - depending how you measure it - Yonge Street is longest in the world. -- (link) - Andie Jul 7, 12:28
- that would work for me, I'm not overly far from there. have to be at the airport by about 3:30, but otherwise pretty open that day. - mafaça Jul 7, 12:16
15-year-old Palestinian-American released to house arrest after being severely beaten by Israeli police during protests related to his cousin's murder -- (link) - znufrii Jul 7, 12:08 2
- Autopsy Suggests Palestinian Teenager Was Burned to Death After Abduction -- (link) - ty97 Jul 7, 12:16
- Israeli teens have been actively seeking out Palestinian teens and beating them in the streets. -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jul 7, 12:13
So Toni Basil sang a Spanish-language version of "Mickey". - Mop (210 lbs) Jul 7, 12:07 2
- You're awesome Mop. If you'd like some of my music, let me know. -- nm - MDH Jul 7, 12:18
- I sort of need this. -- nm - MDH Jul 7, 12:14
Happy 74th Birthday Mr. Starr - Dándukini Jul 7, 12:05 1
- Herr Starr? -- nm - Spawn Lord Jul 7, 12:06
If Bosh has a max offer from Houston, he HAS to take it. Then that becomes the first domino. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 7, 11:32 23
- That strikes me as insane behaviour on Houston's behalf. -- nm - Reagen Jul 7, 11:55 5
  - Why? Bosh + Howard + Harden would be devastating. -- nm - David Jul 7, 11:57 3
    - Maybe I just don't understand NBA contracts, but Bosh doesn't seem to be worth anywhere near max money. -- nm - Reagen Jul 7, 12:12
    - They would be good. We'll see where things settle, but I don't think it lifts them to the top of the West. I've been very underwhelmed by Bosh with - pmb Jul 7, 12:02 1
      - Agreed here...Bosh is an overrated double-double guy. Gasol offers better value. Last two seasons Bosh is 16p/8r -- nm - Budicio Jul 7, 12:24
  - Linsanity. -- nm - Spawn Lord Jul 7, 11:56
- If it's only about the money, yes he does. But if he's looking to win again he has better options. -- nm - Krustuardo Jul 7, 11:43 5
  - Hardin, Howard and Bosh -- nm - amoxy Jul 7, 11:50 4
    - Bosh is not worth max money. Houston will regret giving it to him if he takes it. -- nm - pmb Jul 7, 11:50 3
      - He's #41 in PER. That's borderline but I also think it reflects the fact that he was willing to take a backseat. - David Jul 7, 12:01 2
        
        I just don't see it that way and I've watched them a lot. He's not taking a back seat, he's disappearing. It's not the same. - pmb Jul 7, 12:03 1
        
        Yeah, before this year I would have sided with David on this but he really did fail to show a lot this season. -- nm - Spawn Lord Jul 7, 12:11
- He *loves* Miami, the city. He will give James every chance to say yes, first. -- nm - Spawn Lord Jul 7, 11:40 8
  - I think this is right. I like LeBron James from what I know of him but what he is doing right now is fundamentally uncool. - David Jul 7, 11:48 7
    - L5. -- nm - Ender Jul 7, 12:10
    - He most likely expected LeBron to have made a decision by now and since he has not is coming up with a Plan B. - Spawn Lord Jul 7, 11:51 5
      - He seems really happy in Miami. He actually learned Spanish as a hobby project. - David Jul 7, 11:57 4
        
        Yeah, the only place I thought LJ would leave Miami for were either Cleveland or possibly NY. No where else really seemed a possibility. -- nm - Spawn Lord Jul 7, 12:00 3
        
        I don't know if he wants to play in Phoenix, but they have the best core for him. - David Jul 7, 12:02 2
        
        He either steps forward to NY or back to Cleveland. - Spawn Lord Jul 7, 12:05 1
        
        And pulls a Patrick Duffy. -- nm - Reagen Jul 7, 12:13
- Dude needs another mansion -- nm - CQ Jul 7, 11:33 1
  - I just don't see it as that big of a drop off. $24M vs. $12M is significant. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 7, 11:37
More off the radar: Eddie Murphy, or Diane Lane? -- nm - Max Jul 7, 11:29 17
- Lane -- nm - peglegpete Jul 7, 12:28 1
  - Ma Kent? -- nm - Spawn Lord Jul 7, 12:29
- Eddie. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 7, 11:43 2
  - It's amazing to me that someone with his comedic talent has managed to pick so many bad projects to be a part of. -- nm - TWuG Jul 7, 11:53
  - Yeah, until BHC4 ctually happens, for sure. -- nm - Spawn Lord Jul 7, 11:44
- diane lane. weirdly, my dad mentioned diane lane to me saturday as one of his favorite actresses and I was like, "based on what? when??" also weirdly - peggy ann m Jul 7, 11:31 9
  - I feel like she could have been Blind Side and Gravity equivalent, but just dropped off. Maybe too preoccupied with the divorce. - Max Jul 7, 11:41 7
    - which divorce? lambert or brolin? -- nm - peggy ann m Jul 7, 11:56 4
      - Brolin, overlaps the time she's been mostly absent -- nm - Max Jul 7, 11:58 3
        
        maybe it was just really tough being married to him. -- nm - peggy ann m Jul 7, 12:03 2
        
        It wouldn't surprise me. He seems like an overbrooder. -- nm - Max Jul 7, 12:12 1
        
        his personal assistant has now moved into " girlfriend" category - Pippe Jul 7, 12:13
    - Just the opposite, Kelsey Grammer seems like he is everywhere -- nm - amoxy Jul 7, 11:50 1
      - I saw some gone and almost forgotten actresses in Witches of East End: Julie Ormond and Virgina Madsen, - Pippe Jul 7, 12:03
  - I love that woman. -- nm - CQ Jul 7, 11:32
- Hmmm... - Spawn Lord Jul 7, 11:31
- that's a dead heat if I ever saw one -- nm - Pippe Jul 7, 11:29
I should go see Queens of the Stone Age on Halloween night at the Forum with the Kills for an opener shouldn't I? - con_carne Jul 7, 11:27 7
- Yes. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 7, 11:41
- Yup -- nm - prayformojo Jul 7, 11:31
- That sounds like an amazing show. -- nm - Reagen Jul 7, 11:29 1
  - Oh, here's the full bill LYC - con_carne Jul 7, 11:32

ughh, just finally caved in and signed up for COBRA continuation benefits - Jovian Jul 7, 11:05 5
- GI Joe hates you now. -- nm - Qale as Folk Jul 7, 11:15
- But... Obamacare?! -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jul 7, 11:07 3
  - I almost did. But honestly it was just sooo much easier just signing onto ADP Cobra and continuing my work benefits - Jovian Jul 7, 11:10 2
    - but, isn't Obamacare less? i mean, if it is going to be ongoing for several months, wouldn't *less money to spend* be very good? -- nm - Andie Jul 7, 11:30 1
      - yea it would be less. but this is just more convenient for now. its probably only for two months - Jovian Jul 7, 12:01

Forget citizenship tests, try this. QUIZ: Are You Smart Enough to Get Into Private Kindergarten? -- (link) - ty97 Jul 7, 10:38 16
- I still don't get the first one. I'm pretty sure the correct answer is "slip the kindergarten an extra grand" -- nm - Roger More Jul 7, 12:10
- 4/5 -- nm - peglegpete Jul 7, 11:56
- I'm having flashbacks to my childhood. my mom's graduate research was developmental psych. I did many versions of similar tests. -- nm - mafaça Jul 7, 11:56
- 5/5 the first was um.um..um...oh yeah -- nm - CQ Jul 7, 11:30
- 5/5. I thought the first one was hard (and then it suddenly made sense) but the rest were simple to me. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 7, 11:21
- The first one wasn't bad; the 2nd one was borderline-absurd. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 7, 11:20 1
  - this -- nm - Spawn Lord Jul 7, 11:25
- 5/5. the first one is quite hard. -- nm - Andie Jul 7, 11:14
- 5/5. The first two were not as simple to figure out though (spoilers) - oblique Jul 7, 10:57 4
  - I narrowed it down on the 2nd one and then guessed - amoxy Jul 7, 11:21
  - the second one - Andie Jul 7, 11:15
  - The first two are diabolical. Although I suspect they make more sense to a child's mind than to an adult. (spoilers) - Mop (210 lbs) Jul 7, 11:06 1
    - yes, plus (spoils) - Roger More Jul 7, 12:06

#BB16: I'm so glad Devin got HOH this week. It would have been a shame if he'd gone home before we got to see crazy Devin with Imperial delusions. -- nm - Ender Jul 7, 10:27 13
- He has literally been Big Brother Feeds gold!!! - Jovian Jul 7, 11:06
- He's a gift to Big Brother fans from the producers. You can't make up that kind of crazy. -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jul 7, 10:43 7
  - maybe the craziest part is that there's someone crazier than caleb in the house. like, if we didn't have devin, we'd still have crazy. -- nm - peggy ann m Jul 7, 10:45 6
    - OMG, Caleb's crush on Amber is just so awesomely creepy. -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jul 7, 10:50 5
      - Devin gave Brittany pickles in lieu of flowers last night. No, that isnt a typo. That happened. - Jovian Jul 7, 11:08 2
        
        WTF? I thought he totally hated her. But then... that explains the pickles. -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jul 7, 11:12 1
        
        TBF, he totally hated her for completely illogical reasons, like her questioning the "integralness" of his game as he's admitting to unethical stuff. -- nm - Ender Jul 7, 11:20
      - Caleb has lucked out, in that Amber and everyone else in the house has decided that being able to easily manipulate him outweighs the creepy. - Ender Jul 7, 10:53 1
        
        *snork* -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jul 7, 10:55
