    - OK, what about a CD from an online bank like Ally or GE Capital? -- nm - Were-Baron Oct 29, 09:49 3
      - 1% for 12 months - results in a $ 150 net. Is that good? -- nm - Epiphany Oct 29, 09:54 2
        
        Historically speaking, no. Compared to banks with branches, yes. Dividend bearing stocks yield more, but may not preserve capital. -- nm - Were-Baron Oct 29, 09:57 1
        
        thanks everyone -- nm - Epiphany Oct 29, 10:00

- Ant Man 2?! (hehehe) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 09:50

- Your IM is rather crazy if you are not me. -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 09:38 1

  - lose the 0, around a foot -- nm - Beaker Oct 29, 09:30

- i'm jealous. -- nm - colin Oct 29, 09:27
It's never a good sign in Blood Feud when you have to turn over 20% of your roster at once. -- nm - David Oct 29, 09:27
Today's amusement: Some enterprising wikiphile has already added to the list of WS champions that the series result is 4-3. -- nm - Were-Baron Oct 29, 09:20
Spawn, that's unreal. Kids can lay their hands on so much trash food nowadays anyway at home. Be disappointing traipsing into someone's house and - Loyola Oct 29, 09:17 5
- ... Halloween is about two things. Dressing up. Candy. -- nm - Andie Oct 29, 09:18 4
  - and sexy costumes for young kids -- nm - Walmart Oct 29, 09:24
  - This. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 09:23 2
    - (However, as an adult, I find that halloween is mostly about post-halloween discount candy) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 09:23 1
      - And stealing it from your kids. -- nm - spamlet Oct 29, 09:27
NWBR, I've made 3 trades in the past 2 days. -- nm - Reagen Oct 29, 09:16 2

      - [deleted] 7
        
        I was going to ask if you had a couch available, if I decided to stay overnight in the city. - znufrii Oct 29, 09:20 4
        
        I'm out of town this weekend. If I can somehow get my spare key to Jorge before I leave, you could crash at my place. - ty97 Oct 29, 09:23 2
        
        thanks for the offer - znufrii Oct 29, 09:24 1

AVENGERS : MONEY GRAB - groiny Oct 29, 09:12 32
- Have you read the Infinity War series? -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 29, 09:34
- I'm waiting for AVENGERS: GRAB ASS -- nm - Baron Mop-chausen Oct 29, 09:30 4
  - The Fantastic 4way! -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 09:33 1
    - Here. -- (link) - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 09:34
  - It starred Chyna as She-Hulk. - David Oct 29, 09:31
  - I think that was done....had the wrestler formerly known as Chyna in it.... -- nm - Beaker Oct 29, 09:31
- AVENGERS: GIVING THE FANS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 09:14 24
  - you know, I am there opening day of every comic movie...... - groiny Oct 29, 09:15 23
    - Disagreed. DC doing it, yes. - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 09:17 22
      - Their revenue stream from the movies is flawless, but Captain America 1, Thor 1, and Iron Man 2 were not good movies at all. -- nm - Inigo Oct 29, 09:20 6
        
        *blink, blink* -- nm - David Oct 29, 09:28
        
        Cap 1 was a good movie, but not a typical Marvel movie. - groiny Oct 29, 09:21 4
        
        yup. I was kinda meh on Cap 1 at first, but have watched it a few times since and it has really grown into a fave -- nm - Beaker Oct 29, 09:22 3
        
        It was the weakest part of the plan, and even still I agreed it got much better upon second viewing. -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 09:24 2
        
        The demonstration of how he was a hero well before the serum is a textbook example of storytelling excellence. -- nm - David Oct 29, 09:30 1
        
        The first act was the best part. -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 09:35
      - plus DC HAS to do it, because their track record sucks. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 09:18
      - flawless is pushing it a bit too..... - groiny Oct 29, 09:17 13
        
        That predates The Plan. -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 09:18 12
        
        Spirit of Vengence was in 2011. - groiny Oct 29, 09:20 11
        
        That was not even Marvel Studios. They got the rights back in 2013. -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 09:23 8
        
        did the Marvel Logo flash in the beginning of the movie???? - groiny Oct 29, 09:24 7
        
        Look, you can agree with me or you can be wrong. Your choice! -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 09:25 6
        
        you are part of the 4% of people who see these movies who know the difference between Marvel and Marvel lite. - groiny Oct 29, 09:27 5
        
        There is nothing wrong with shooting for the stars when you can actually get there. -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 09:28 4
        
        sometimes, looking ahead to the next week, costs you the current week. - groiny Oct 29, 09:31 3
        
        Was it a response to DC? Maybe a bit. But why not? - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 09:36 2
        
        oh, I don't hate it, but it smells of desperation, when they absolutely do not need to be desperate. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 09:37 1
        
        to me they are hoping to build more momentum and that the anticipation for Infinity War will help the lesser properties to come -- nm - Beaker Oct 29, 09:40
        
        correct.. and Spirit was under Marvel Knights, which is now part of Marvel Entertainment. -- nm - colin Oct 29, 09:20 1
        
        which matters not, as Marvel is Marvel to most people. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 09:21
- WOOO!!!! -- nm - Baron Mop-chausen Oct 29, 09:14
"Infinity War". As I said yesterday, "Batman vs Superman" is the only thing DC has that can come close to that. -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 09:12 7
- Justice League should. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 09:13 6
  - That is just a noun, though. A thing. Yes, so was The Avengers, but we already had that. We need more to be excited. - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 09:15
  - only if they take the time and effort to build it right -- nm - Beaker Oct 29, 09:14 4
    - If Suicide Squad ends up being a Legion of Doom in disguise, they might have some building blocks to work with. -- nm - Inigo Oct 29, 09:16 2
      - I do agree that until they build something strong not Batman, I have limited hopes. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 09:16 1
        
        The fantasy of DC does not translate to live action film. Animation, yes. -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 09:30
    - right, they are pretty much mirror images of the same story. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 09:14
