- no. sometimes use twitter to follow a news story, never tweet. -- nm - Andie Jul 31, 10:01
I saw the Need For Speed movie the other night. I'm guessing Aaron Paul was phoning in that performance. The movie was also not horrible. -- nm - Shaun Jul 31, 09:54 3
- I doubt he would have been phoning it in the way some jaded actors do ... he'd probably be all amped about doing a good job in a movie role - Beryllium Jul 31, 09:56 2
  - Your IM has to be dead on. -- nm - Shaun Jul 31, 09:56 1
    - It's just an assumption, and I don't think it means he's a bad actor or anything ... he just needs the right team. - Beryllium Jul 31, 09:57

    - Allen Craig and Kelly for Lackey -- nm - Broot Jul 31, 09:48 10
      - Craig just hit the wrong side of 30 and has an OPS of .638 this season. Kelly is a mediocre player with one more year before he hits arbitration. - David Jul 31, 09:54 5
        
        I have NO Idea what the hell happened to Allen Craig, but Matheny has given him every opportunity to break out of it. Currently, he's hitting - Jim Jul 31, 10:02 1

        To think we got Masterson and Lackey without giving up any of the faberge eggs in the system...I'm pretty stoked. -- nm - Jim Jul 31, 10:02
      - Whoa...it's definitely Oscar-time in Tha Lou now!! -- nm - Jim Jul 31, 09:49 3

Speaking of Reddit, they posted their first How Reddit Works blog in a while -- (link) - con_carne Jul 31, 09:12 2
- reddit is an awesome and potentially horrfying place, all at the same time. All depends on what subreddits you'll partake in. -- nm - Shaun Jul 31, 09:50 1
  - Yeah. One of the top comments on this was the unintuitiveness of finding the right subs for you. - con_carne Jul 31, 09:57

    - Yep, there was a 2 bedroom that I viewed in the building with the panoramic views of London, which I didn't get. - LMS Jul 31, 09:48 3
      - the bedroom ceiling is very low. basement? loft? -- nm - peggy ann m Jul 31, 09:49 2
        
        Mezzanine loft, I'm short so it doesn't bother me. -- nm - LMS Jul 31, 09:51 1
