Pippy- Tyrant.... - Remlik Aug 20, 09:04 3
- just 1 episode - can you spoil the end of that episode? - Epiphany Aug 20, 09:07 1
  - also I really like how they set up the villian in this show - seems highly plausible - and he's doing a good job with his role -- nm - Epiphany Aug 20, 09:10
- I wouldn't call her that. - Spawn Aug 20, 09:06
Huh, I do believe the folk across the drive just fired up their BBQ...at 9:00 am !?! -- nm - Meg Aug 20, 09:03 2
- possible, if slow cooking ribs? -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 09:04 1
  - They're Pacific Islanders...maybe a pig roast? ;) -- nm - Meg Aug 20, 09:17

yo ty, whats the better airport to fly out of in NYC? - Truman Aug 20, 08:57 9
- Semi-Complicated answer inside (in part: it depends) - ty97 Aug 20, 09:08 3
  - from there back home, looking at southwest, probably - Truman Aug 20, 09:11 2
    - Southwest flies out of LGA and Newark. LGA is going to be easier/cheaper to get to (regardless of method) -- nm - ty97 Aug 20, 09:15 1
      - Bonus: you get to fly out of the terminal that Biden called a 'third world country' -- nm - ty97 Aug 20, 09:16
- is this a trick question? -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 09:03 4
  - maybe? -- nm - Truman Aug 20, 09:04 3
    - I drove there, so I am no help -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 09:05 2
      - well, southwest only flys out of LGA, so I guess I am stuck with that one. - Truman Aug 20, 09:09 1
        
        LGA is my preferred airport (as it is for most folks in Manhattan) - ty97 Aug 20, 09:17
Finally finished reading Testament of Youth so what should I read next? - LMS Aug 20, 08:52
NCIS LA moves to MOnday nights to make room for NCIS Bakula's Bayou Country . . . I predict that this will not end well. . . . - i'm not dead yet ! Aug 20, 08:51 5
- NCIS leading into NCIS: New Orleans improves the chances of the new show succeeding. If LA still needs the NCIS lead-in to succeed - TWuG Aug 20, 09:01 2
  - Its gonna help out AoS I think -- nm - eag Aug 20, 09:03 1
    - Nothing's going to help out AoS. If every weekly viewer of AoS paid for a ticket to a Marvel movie, it would gross about 50mil. - Will Hunting Aug 20, 09:08
- I'm waiting for NCIS Idaho -- nm - Beaker Aug 20, 08:56

The British selection for the "Do Us a Flavour" chip contest -- (link) - Reagen Aug 20, 08:51 18

  - road kill -- nm - Beaker Aug 20, 08:57
  - If it did not require FB, that would get my vote. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 08:56
  - Even I'm confused, it's not like it's a native animal. -- nm - LMS Aug 20, 08:54 14
    - Maybe because it's exotic and North American to the British, like ranch? -- nm - Roger More Aug 20, 08:56
    - I was hoping it meant something different there and not the animal. - Krusty Aug 20, 08:56 12
      - There were hedgehog flavour crisps a few years back. -- nm - LMS Aug 20, 08:59 2
        
        How were they? - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 20, 09:04 1
        
        It was a pass, pickled onion flavour Monster Munch is my limit. Although I love Skips too (prawn cocktail flavour) -- nm - LMS Aug 20, 09:07
      - if you click it, it says it is a gamey meat taste. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 08:57 8
        
        this was also apparently a thing -- (link) - Reagen Aug 20, 08:59 [Image]
        
        Gross. -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 08:59 6
        
        "A delicious combination of gamey meat flavour, with accents of sour cream and a garlic kick." -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 09:00 5
        
        That sounds nice. -- nm - LMS Aug 20, 09:01 4
        
        Does that mean you'll try them and give us a snack report? - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 20, 09:09 2
        
        If I see it, I'll try it. -- nm - LMS Aug 20, 09:19
        
        well, it sounds better than Parasitic Ranch, I'll give it that -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 09:10
        
        I have tasted your version of nachos there, I am guessing no. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 09:01

      - And this perplexes me -- (link) - ty97 Aug 20, 08:50
Text message sent to the library (which could have been sent via our website, not just on the phone) verbatim: - mara Aug 20, 08:42 14
- I would have expected: "Im a junior <3 to read u haz job 4 me?!?" - oblique Aug 20, 08:52
- talk to the kid and see if there's a reason for the garbled text. - Mel Profit Aug 20, 08:45 7
  - Oh, it's HR's call, and they don't even see this. Our response was to fill out the online application form or visit that branch and talk to them. -- nm - mara Aug 20, 08:47
  - (S)He's a teenager? - Will Hunting Aug 20, 08:46 5
    - I've come to the conclusion that schools have pretty much given up on teaching writing. -- nm - mara Aug 20, 08:49 3
      - There's a program in one of the local schools that doesn't enforce proper spelling. - Shaun Aug 20, 08:58
      - Admittedly, I don't see how teens/youth write in formal/professional capacities - ty97 Aug 20, 08:52 1
        
        I was a TA for the capstone course in a top-ten in the country supply chain management undergrad program. - peggy ann m Aug 20, 08:54

- You mean I actually have to walk to a Library? -- nm - budice Aug 20, 08:44
- "learn how to talk first" -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 08:44
- "Congrats. You start Monday." -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 08:43
- "That was it. Thank you." -- nm - Reagen Aug 20, 08:43 1
  - heh -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 08:43
Quick note on James Foley... -- (link) - budice Aug 20, 08:40
Celeb BDays: Demi Lovato (22), Amy Adams (40), Joan Allen (58) -- nm - budice Aug 20, 08:32 7
- joan allen is very age-appropriately hot. -- nm - peggy ann m Aug 20, 08:49 3
  - I agree, just not as hot as the other 2 here. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 08:53 1
    - That's the problem. She drew a very competitive birthday -- nm - Bacon Aug 20, 09:02
  - Yes. Diane Lane and Joan Allen mmmmmmm -- nm - Bacon Aug 20, 08:51
- FMK -- nm - Beaker Aug 20, 08:33 2

  - this subthread is why ST can't have nice things. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 20, 08:41 1
    - You said you had two nice conversations. - Spawn Aug 20, 08:43
  - . . . and when you told him the dirty joke, he arrested you for public indecency -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Aug 20, 08:38 3

Colordao family travels Canada and the US in their RV...with their 12 children (and a dog) -- (link) - Beaker Aug 20, 08:19
"The film saw a sharp decline in its second weekend, dropping over fifty percent." was it *that* well-regarded? -- nm - peggy ann m Aug 20, 08:19 29
- You have to look at demographics when you take weekend drops into consideration. - Reagen Aug 20, 08:27
- It was still a hard-sell to the masses, so it could have easily been well-regarded and still fallen off a cliff. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 20, 08:25 3
  - 50+% drops were status quo for action films, even in 2005. -- nm - David Aug 20, 08:27
  - it was visually so different, that a lot of people were like "EWWWWW!" - groiny Aug 20, 08:26
  - And it was a fanboy film. A sharp drop in weekend two is typical. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 20, 08:26
- Which film? -- nm - David Aug 20, 08:23 18
  - GotG? -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 08:24
  - Oh, if it's Sin City, absolutely. The metrics are glowing. It's 78% fresh at RT with a dazzling 8.2 on IMDB. -- nm - David Aug 20, 08:23 15
    - In fact, it's #174 on IMDB's top 250. -- nm - David Aug 20, 08:32
    - However, well-regarded != BO $. -- nm - Shaun Aug 20, 08:26 13
      - although in this case, it was both. -- nm - Reagen Aug 20, 08:26 12
        
        I thought it made more than it did in the theater, but I rarely run into anyone who hated it. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 08:27 11
        
        I was turned off by the level of violence in it. -- nm - Max Aug 20, 08:31 9
        
        I thought the same about your recent softball game. -- nm - Bacon Aug 20, 08:41 3
        
        This is hysterical. -- nm - David Aug 20, 08:59 2
        
        max's ruptured nutsack might disagree. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 09:01 1
        
        Max is no more. Now, we call him Frank n' Beans. -- nm - David Aug 20, 09:17
        
        You may want to skip this one, too. - Spawn Aug 20, 08:40
        
        at the time, it seemed like alot, but compared to today? -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 08:32 3
        
        It's not the quantity, but the dark creepiness of it. -- nm - Roger More Aug 20, 08:38 2
        
        it was just so over the top though, hard to take it seriously (the violence) -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 08:39 1
        
        I find it mood-dependent. I really enjoyed it in the theatre, so I bought it on DVD to watch again, felt sickened by it and haven't watched it since. -- nm - Roger More Aug 20, 08:44
        
        $75 mil for a highly stylized pulp comic film with virtually no drawing power - Reagen Aug 20, 08:29

- *whispers* yes..mmmm -- nm - budice Aug 20, 08:21 4
  - Carla Gugino's boobs were, that's for sure. -- nm - Shaun Aug 20, 08:22 3
    - She's so underrated. -- nm - Inigo Aug 20, 08:26 2
      - Paula Marshall and her both deserve better careers. -- nm - David Aug 20, 08:30 1
