      - This is why we can't have a free market. -- nm - nubby Dec 15, 14:10
      - EPA! EeeeeeePA! -- nm - Grandpa Simpson Dec 15, 14:07
    - prices likely will go up again, and even faster than down when it happens. I don't think we'll be seeing a boom of Hummers again any time soon. -- nm - b. Dec 15, 14:02
- Still just a shade under $3 here (best I've seen in the city is $2.95). -- nm - pmb Dec 15, 13:56 14
  - That's the high price in the north suburbs. Though it's $2.52 at Food4Less. - tobor.2 Dec 15, 14:05

WWE: Taker looks to be working WM 31...here is a recent pic -- (link) - Remlik Dec 15, 13:42 14

- Wait, is that picture supposed to be proof he's working WM-31, or actually dying in the ring? - Will Hunting Dec 15, 13:55 2

        No he ain't, but Vince wants him to be; and Vince is the one driving the bus. - Will Hunting Dec 15, 14:05 4
        
        I don't love it because having Brock hold the title means the title is too out of the picture most of the time. He needed to win it, but you can't - pmb Dec 15, 14:17 1
        
        The thing is, it's plenty. In UFC, the champion fights 2-4 times a year...there's always something going on. - Will Hunting Dec 15, 14:23
