Kings interested in George Karl... proving once again that the #1 qualification for becoming an NBA head coach is having been an NBA head coach. -- nm - Good Baron Wenceslas Dec 15, 12:33 2
- I dunno....Karl's been good to great everywhere he's gone. He did some really nice work in his last stint with the Nuggets - prayformojo Dec 15, 12:35 1
  - I didn't mean to hate on Karl. It just seems to me that compared to the other major sports, the NBA is the most likely to recycle their coaches. - Good Baron Wenceslas Dec 15, 12:45
How long have the Slackers been playing Ikariam? -- nm - Mop Dec 15, 12:32 4
- be tween the big Vegas con and the small one is when I started dotcom. mel was on for a year? -- nm - zeitgeist roaming the s5 galaxy Dec 15, 12:41
- March 2009 for me -- nm - Beaker Dec 15, 12:41
- I stopped playing in 2008 - so at least a year or 2 longer than that. -- nm - decline Dec 15, 12:39
- Several years -- nm - Bacon Dec 15, 12:35
tv question. mine is dying and I am looking at 4 replacements. 2 Vizio and 2 Sharp. I do not need 3d that badly but I appreciate feedback on the sets - Peglegpete Dec 15, 12:29 4
- Don't get the one with 120hz refresh rate. I think that's the second one. Bigger screen you will notice a touch of blur in fast action. -- nm - Bacon Dec 15, 12:34
- I've been very pleased with my Vizio, but have never owned a Sharp TV to compare. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 15, 12:32
- You're replacing 1 tv with 4 ? That's a little overkill, isn't it? -- nm - decline Dec 15, 12:31 1
  - depends on which side you are comfortable sleeping on at the moment, so - zeitgeist roaming the s5 galaxy Dec 15, 12:37
So, I do have a bone to pick with Good Wife and the current season (not really spoilers) - spamlet Dec 15, 12:27 1

        He regressed this year. I have a feeling it's the play calling. They are trying to keep him in the pocket more. - Bacon Dec 15, 12:38 3
        
        The play calling has had zero imagination like it did last year. Defenses probably know the play that's coming about 75% of the time before the ball - Bacon Dec 15, 12:41 2
        
        I agree to all of this. Your other IM is exactly what I specifically saw yesterday - Pippy Bells Dec 15, 12:47 1
        
        I also know nothing about " play calling" so I can't speak to that. -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 15, 12:47
- If the homeless dude that's normally at the stadium isn't there on Sunday. -- nm - spamlet Dec 15, 12:18

- yes! -- nm - colin Dec 15, 12:18
So I just signed up for that Disney Everywhere thing, and linked it to Vudu. Entered my Guardians of the Galaxy code and it populated. BUT - Bacon Dec 15, 12:13 2

- (again) -- nm - spamlet Dec 15, 12:17 13
  - Her problem is that a number of people have said "I'M NOT RUNNING!" in the past and then ran. - ty97 Dec 15, 12:18 12
    - Lookin' at you, Alicia Florrick. -- nm - Max Dec 15, 12:21 6
      - She does? Haven't got that far -- nm - amoxy Dec 15, 12:23 5
        
        Max is not so good with the spoilers. - spamlet Dec 15, 12:24 4
        
        "My condolences on your meltdown, Knight." "What meltdown, Kent?" "I'm not saying you had one, because how would I know. But in case you do." - Max Dec 15, 12:29 3
        
        Not if you're catching up now like Amoxy is. -- nm - spamlet Dec 15, 12:30 2
        
        I know neither of those two names so I am OK with that one -- nm - amoxy Dec 15, 12:32 1
        
        I'm pretty sure his quotes are from Real Genius. -- nm - spamlet Dec 15, 12:36
    - Also, I didn't know she has mentioned anything about this before -- nm - con_carne Dec 15, 12:21 4
      - I remember when she clearly said she was not running quite a while back. -- nm - ty97 Dec 15, 12:22 3
        
        That's more of what I was referencing. - spamlet Dec 15, 12:25 1
        
        Yep, I knew what you were referencing. - ty97 Dec 15, 12:26

I kinda liked the Laura Linney arc in LVACT - amoxy Dec 15, 11:59
At the price war corner just now gas was $2.03 and diesel was $2.99 (!) - spamlet Dec 15, 11:56 7
- we're still around 50 cents higher than that -- nm - decline Dec 15, 12:01
- Wow. $2.20 is still the cheap here. Nice! At that price, you should fill your trunk, as well. -- nm - Ultron Dec 15, 11:57
