- ooh...C&P some of it. -- nm - Diva Oct 16, 08:06
BF Vamp trade. I have Rivers and was going to cut Wilson to make room on a small bench. - Bacon mobile Oct 16, 07:57 3
- All that considered, why not just offer Wilson for Donnell, then? - Inigo Oct 16, 08:11 1
  - I needed a 2 for 1 to make room on my bench -- nm - Bacon via mobile Oct 16, 08:12
- I've read the discussion. It seems like a horrible trade for the side getting Donnell, but if no one else protests, consider the matter dropped. -- nm - David Oct 16, 08:07
"Glass blown toy? That's a terrible thing to make a toy out of... ooohhh" -- nm - Reagen Oct 16, 07:55
OK, let's up the stakes. JLaw and GClooney are having parties. Which do you pick? -- nm - loosi at work Oct 16, 07:55 14
- JLaw. Just for the off chance I sleep with her. -- nm - Jovian Oct 16, 08:25
- Clooney! -- nm - kelly Oct 16, 08:07
- Clooney - he's better looking -- nm - Covington Oct 16, 08:05
- Clooney -- nm - Krusty Oct 16, 08:02
- Clooney -- nm - Diva Oct 16, 07:59
- Clooney - and he'd probably turn it to a fundraiser to cure Ebola. -- nm - Buzz Oct 16, 07:59
- Clooney. That dude's party would own JL's every day of the week and three times on Sunday. -- nm - Focused, Non-Terminal Repeating Phantasm Oct 16, 07:57 2
  - and would probably last that long. -- nm - loosi at work Oct 16, 07:58
  - for the guest list alone. -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 07:58
- JLaw -- nm - znufrii, borderline alcoholic Oct 16, 07:56
- Clooney -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 07:56
- CLOONEY! -- nm - Roo Oct 16, 07:56
- JLaw. Why is this even a question? :) -- nm - oblique Oct 16, 07:55

  - [deleted] 1
    - I expect the IM to be (spoilers) - ty97 Oct 16, 08:08
- Holiday weekends probably wouldn't work for me. It's almost impossible to get them off these days. - Covington Oct 16, 08:03
- If it's a weekend we can make it, I'll be there. - spamlet Oct 16, 08:01
- *revs up the TARDIS* -- nm - znufrii, borderline alcoholic Oct 16, 07:54
- I would go to this really hard and fast. -- nm - Diva Oct 16, 07:54 16
  - Prepare for brilliance -- nm - oblique Oct 16, 07:55 15
    - [deleted] 14
      - I've never done one of those tours (boat, architecture, etc) -- nm - oblique Oct 16, 07:56 3
        
        see below, me neither. -- nm - spamlet Oct 16, 08:02
        
        That's the one thing I wanted to do before I left (so: on the list!) is the architecture boat tour. - ty97 Oct 16, 08:02 1
        
        this could be great. -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 08:02
      - if i want to do a city tour on a boat, will anyone mock me? -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 07:56 9
        
        oh I'm totally doing that -- nm - Epiphany Oct 16, 08:12
        
        I really enjoyed the boat tour and would do it again. -- nm - Covington Oct 16, 08:04
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        this. boat tours are a great way to see a lot of a city. -- nm - Diva Oct 16, 08:05
        
        I've never actually done one and would love to. -- nm - spamlet Oct 16, 08:00
        
        not at all! the architecture tour is basically that and it's awesome! -- nm - Diva Oct 16, 07:57 3
        
        to clarify - the architecture tour we went on was on a boat and it was super. -- nm - Diva Oct 16, 07:58 2
        
        cool. fun tour story inside... - Andie Oct 16, 08:00 1
        
        *giggle* -- nm - Diva Oct 16, 08:02
- ty97: I can't do a summer trip in the summer. When can you go? -- nm - oblique Oct 16, 07:54 1
  - haha. Birthday (29th) on 6/13, then busy quarter end period, then wedding 7/4 weekend (during busy quarter end. *UGH*) -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 07:58
- Next summer is really open, actually. Sometime in July would be better than June, probably. -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 07:53
- I don't think I can make Summer 2014. - Kim Pine Oct 16, 07:53 1
  - This is what it's like to live with a pedant, people! -- nm - David Oct 16, 08:08
- [deleted] 1
  - excellent. in future i will just keep naming places I want to go. -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 07:53
How well do you know the Ebola outbreak? WSJ quiz. - loosi at work Oct 16, 07:50 3
- 7 -- nm - decline Oct 16, 08:05
- 7/10 No idea on the drug question. Surprised by the last. Missed the origin country -- nm - oblique Oct 16, 07:52 1
  - I missed origin country but knew the last. -- nm - loosi at work Oct 16, 08:00
Ok Onion, this is funny. And I like the pic -- (link) - oblique Oct 16, 07:48
Went to the dealer. The internet price included a $600 recent college grad discount that I don't qualify for. - Dano Oct 16, 07:37 15
- are there other dealers nearby? -- nm - sheriff peggy ann Oct 16, 08:35
- Go back on Halloween, a holiday that is also the last day of their monthly sales. -- nm - David Oct 16, 08:05 1
  - oooh, nice tip. -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 08:08
- Is the TrueCar price the invoice price? -- nm - Ender Oct 16, 07:50 2
  - The TrueCar estimate is below what they state the factory invoice is. -- nm - Dano Oct 16, 08:00 1
    - Ok, that makes sense. -- nm - Ender Oct 16, 08:02
- Is the discounted recent college grad cute? -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 07:46
- Play hardball, they can give you that 600. No 600, no deal. - ty97 Oct 16, 07:39 7
  - That's what I did today. Do they possibly get some sort of subsidy for that? -- nm - Dano Oct 16, 07:56 2
    - Doubtful, but even if they do, they can still cover it. - ty97 Oct 16, 08:00 1
      - Right, it's not like this is the only Nissan Juke out there. -- nm - Ender Oct 16, 08:01
  - Pretty much. Be willing to walk out. "No? Ok, have a nice day, I'm going to check out some other dealers." -- nm - Ender Oct 16, 07:52
  - "I also want the $500 old lady discount AND the one you give to people with only one leg" -- nm - oblique Oct 16, 07:47
  - This 100%. -- nm - MDH Oct 16, 07:45
  - yeah, if that is an option for a grad, it's an option for you. -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 07:44
ST How a guy would ask: if Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton were both having a party, but you can only go to one - oblique Oct 16, 07:35 12
- JLaw. -- nm - loosi at work Oct 16, 07:54
- JLaw, mostly for the same reason as pmb. -- nm - Shaun Oct 16, 07:49
- JLaw -- nm - Diva Oct 16, 07:49
- Jlawwwww -- nm - Roo Oct 16, 07:48
- JLaw -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 07:46
- JLaw. -- nm - MDH Oct 16, 07:45
- Jennifer Lawrence in a heartbeat. -- nm - znufrii, borderline alcoholic Oct 16, 07:44
- Who do these people hang out with? -- nm - con_carne Oct 16, 07:43
- JLaw. -- nm - Ender Oct 16, 07:41
- See my answer here is the same as the one below. JLaw. Her party would be more fun. KU's would probably have more eye candy, though I think it - pmb Oct 16, 07:40
- Kate - it would be a room full of models. -- nm - decline Oct 16, 07:37
- KU, no question -- nm - Focused, Non-Terminal Repeating Phantasm Oct 16, 07:36

    - everything I've ever eaten in Chicago was delicious. I've never had a bad or even mediocre meal there. They don't play. -- nm - Diva Oct 16, 08:00 1
      - That's why we look the way we do :) -- nm - spamlet Oct 16, 08:02
  - [deleted]
- :) the truth is, Chicago is one of the very few US big cities i've never been to - Andie Oct 16, 07:36 19
  - O'Hare is a sexy airport though, based on the single time I've been there. -- nm - Shaun Oct 16, 07:54 3
    - Are you sure you flew into O'Hare? - spamlet Oct 16, 08:04
    - .................... - ty97 Oct 16, 08:01 1
      - United terminal! (Cue the Gershwin!) -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 08:05
  - Me neither - I'd like to visit sometime soon. -- nm - kelly Oct 16, 07:51
  - It's one of my favorite cities. -- nm - Diva Oct 16, 07:47
  - [deleted]
  - It really is a fantastic city (in summer) and I would totally join for a (summer) ST trip there. - ty97 Oct 16, 07:38 9
    - I could get on board with that, I've never been. -- nm - znufrii, borderline alcoholic Oct 16, 07:48 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        damn your IM. - znufrii, borderline alcoholic Oct 16, 07:57
    - I've only been in winter. Summer next year is definitely do-able. -- nm - All humans are vermin in the eyes of Roger Morbo Oct 16, 07:44
    - The only reason I could see going to Chicago is Wrigley Field. -- nm - The Legend of CQ Hollow Oct 16, 07:42 3
      - [deleted]
      - Wrigley day game followed by the Wrigleyville day drinking aferparty is amazing in a frat-tastic / bro-worthy way. - ty97 Oct 16, 07:49 1
        
        and it's near BoysTown (IIRC) so that's cool too. -- nm - Diva Oct 16, 07:52
    - its so cheap for me to fly to Chicago. I'd be in too -- nm - Epiphany Oct 16, 07:42
  - You really need to change that. -- nm - pmb Oct 16, 07:37 1
    - i know. it am sort of amazed i've never been, actually. -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 07:45
- ST chicks dig the Smooth Hobbit Action -- nm - oblique Oct 16, 07:36
Lainey just asked the question, and answer really honestly - if Jennifer Lawrence and Gwyneth were both having a party, but you can only go to one, - Andie Oct 16, 07:30 22
- Paltrow. I would feel so old at a party hosted by a 23-year-old. -- nm - David Oct 16, 08:03
- Jen. -- nm - loosi at work Oct 16, 07:50
- JLaw. She won't mind if I fart. -- nm - Diva Oct 16, 07:48
- JLaw -- nm - Ender Oct 16, 07:43
- Jennifer. -- nm - kelly Oct 16, 07:35
- Jennifer Lawrence. Is this even a question? Gwyneth is terrible, and you know the food would be awful. - MDH Oct 16, 07:34
- JL, but send an assistant to go to Gwyneth's to report back the hilarity. -- nm - Inigo Oct 16, 07:34 5
  - and to grab the gift bags -- nm - Remlik Oct 16, 07:42
  - see, this is the thing, i think GP's is more compelling to see! -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 07:35 3
    - I think it would start off funny but get depressing fast. -- nm - Reagen Oct 16, 07:57
    - but one would need incredible restraint to avoid either telling GP off or slappin' her upside the head -- nm - decline Oct 16, 07:36 1
      - Right, let the assistant do that. - Inigo Oct 16, 07:38
- Jennifer Lawrence without question. Paltrow is a snob and I can't stand her personally -- nm - Epiphany Oct 16, 07:33
- Jen's. -- nm - Remlik Oct 16, 07:33
- see, i pick Gwyneth. i feel like i know what a JLaw party would be, i need to GP in action. -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 07:33 4
  - I have no desire to see GP in action, but I wonder if the crowd/scene at a GP party would be more appropriate for me than at a JL party? - ty97 Oct 16, 07:35 2
    - all of this. -- nm - loosi at work Oct 16, 07:51
    - your IM is exactly how i picture both too. -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 07:37
  - (see GP in action) -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 07:33
- Jennifer Lawrence -- nm - decline Oct 16, 07:32
- JL, no question. -- nm - Focused, Non-Terminal Repeating Phantasm Oct 16, 07:32 1
  - yeah, definitely -- nm - prayformojo Oct 16, 07:32
Hey girl, Ryan Gosling has met with Marvel for Dr. Strange, Warners wants him for Suicide Squad w/ offers to Tom Hardy and Will Smith as well. -- (link) - Remlik Oct 16, 07:30 1
- It's like Hollywood Civil War. Let's be honest. Everyone is going to be a comic movie superhero at some point. Choose a side. -- nm - volnelk Oct 16, 07:35
FWP: My existing credit cards are sending me bonus offers faster than I can meet the spending requirements. - ty97 Oct 16, 07:27 2
- MS! - spamlet Oct 16, 07:31 1
  - The stuff they come up with amazes me sometimes. - ty97 Oct 16, 07:37
Small detail I noticed on AHS last night. (spoilers, naturally) - Were-Baron Oct 16, 07:25 2
- yep - that was one of the connections made in an article I saw which theorized that the seasons are linked. -- nm - Magic Dinosaur Zombie Princess Mark Profit Oct 16, 07:49
- Thanks, I didn't make that connection -- nm - prayformojo Oct 16, 07:27
Bery: The NFLX losses we talked about yesterday were in after-hours trading, so the losses today are the same losses. - ty97 Oct 16, 07:24 5
- That makes much more sense, thanks. -- nm - Beryllium (scream.) Oct 16, 07:44
- correct. down 102 points (from 448 to 345) price is still 20pts higher than this date 1 year ago -- nm - decline Oct 16, 07:31
- And Will, I think TSLA and NFLX are a bit different. - ty97 Oct 16, 07:29 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - You seem to think I disagree with your comparisons of the stock market and gambling. - ty97 Oct 16, 07:33
"Done,” she said. “Completely. Not only Mitt and I are done, but the kids are done,” she said, referring to her five sons. “Done. Done. Done.” -- (link) - spamlet Oct 16, 07:18 6
- She may be throwing this at him to make him stop. Put it this way, he's already reaching out to Senate/House members as to which staff he can borrow. -- nm - MDH Oct 16, 07:30
- I saw that and was surprised by the timing. - ty97 Oct 16, 07:26 3
  - Part of me read it as if he's wavering and she just wanted to put an end to any ideas he might be getting. Like a shot across the bow. Because its - pmb Oct 16, 07:30 2
    - I considered that she might have spoken for herself without consulting him. Sorta her way of publicly telling him 'no'. - ty97 Oct 16, 07:32 1
      - See my message above. -- nm - MDH Oct 16, 07:33
- good for her for her work on that project -- nm - prayformojo Oct 16, 07:23
