Guys, we fucked up. If we'd elected Romney in 2012, ISIS wouldn't even exist. - ty97 Jan 14, 06:40 4
- But that's how you would get ants! -- nm - Archer Jan 14, 06:49
- and the country would be having the budgetary crisis that kansas is currently having after the massive tax cuts that would have happened. - Truman Jan 14, 06:42 1
  - Pretty much. -- nm - Krusty Jan 14, 06:43
- Nah, they woulda called them ISIL from the start and Archer never woulda needed to change their agency name. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 06:41
*wonders if remlik, david, and groiny where able to complete the nightfall mission* - Truman Jan 14, 06:40 6
- yeah. 90 seconds after I popped in Prime died. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 07:08 5
  - then we did it again with Groiny's buddy -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 07:09 4
    - no, we did the weekly, not the Nightfall. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 07:15 3
      - ah -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 07:19
      - Why are you guys doing the weekly before the nightfall? You're scamming yourselves out of the 25% exp boost for the weekly. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 07:17 1
        
        They did the Nightfall first. -- nm - David, Level 31 Warlock Jan 14, 07:19

- the brilliance of Charlie Hebdo is you gotta think about it -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 14, 09:05
- a. i agree with Andie. b. I think its chicken$hit that american news networks wont show the cover (nbc flatly stated they wouldnt show it because - Truman Jan 14, 06:41 1
  - [deleted]
- I think it's "Your God thinks you're heathens for what you did to us." - Will Hunting Jan 14, 06:35
- A bit of both. "All is forgiven" and the "Je suis Charlie" sign suggest the first part, featuring another caricature is more of the second. -- nm - Roger More Jan 14, 06:25
- taking the piss out of people they suddenly find on their side who never would have given them the time of day before this. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 06:20 5

    - meaning the people who hated their politics. - Reagen Jan 14, 06:46 3

ahhhh, this is a friend's facebook status today about her lovesick nephew in grade six.... - Andie Jan 14, 06:17
Little surprised we don't have Gase to 49ers news this morning. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 14, 05:31 15
- Oakland set to name Del Rio HC -- nm - budice Jan 14, 05:50 14
  - wondering if Falcons will reach out to Fox today due to the Bowles news -- nm - Strongbad Jan 14, 05:53 13
    - Falcons have no interest in Fox, apparently. - David Jan 14, 06:07 12
      - Any opinion on Bowles as the Jets HC? I know nothing about the man. -- nm - Krusty Jan 14, 06:16 11
        
        Jets fans will be bored with him. -- nm - Ultron Jan 14, 07:07
        
        He was my top choice for the Falcons. He has a brilliant mind. -- nm - David Jan 14, 06:18 1
        
        :-) Thanks! -- nm - Krusty Jan 14, 06:21

        But defense wasn't really their problem. Can he fix the offense? -- nm - spamlet, Astro king Jan 14, 06:43 5
        
        I don't know how much that was a coaching problem over a personnel problem. It's more on the OC to get the offense working -- nm - Krusty Jan 14, 06:45 4
        
        And the new GM to bring in the guys. The last GM sat on $20m+ of cap space at the start of the season. He didn't spend it on players for some unknown - Krusty Jan 14, 06:46 3
        
        Saving up the money for the inevitable Geno Smith Top-5 QB extension. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 06:49 2
        
        He gets one more year and then they draft his replacement. -- nm - Krusty Jan 14, 07:07 1
        
        And that's why they'll fail again and again (and most teams do) - Will Hunting Jan 14, 07:14
        
        Glad to hear that, I'm reading good things. -- nm - Krusty Jan 14, 06:18

Razzie Nominations: 'Transformers' Leads With Seven Noms -- (link) - budice Jan 14, 04:48 8
- Predictable... yawn. I, Frankenstein was a much worse movie and it got 0 Razzie nominations? -- nm - secretslacker Jan 14, 04:57 7
  - 0? Jesus, that might be in my Top 3 Worst Movie I've actually completely watched list. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 06:37 5
    - Your mistake is thinking that Razzies exist to actually give us a barometer of what sucked. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 06:40 4
      - in fairness, from what I've read, Saving Christmas does seem all-time horrible. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 06:56 1
        
        (but in general I agree. the Razzies are stupid) -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 06:57
      - I suppose. Only 8 people saw I,F so what kind of buzz would that get them? None. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 06:49 1
        
        Plus it's hard to make jokes about a bad CGI movie that everyone knew was bad. It's a lot easier to make - Will Hunting Jan 14, 06:50
  - I concur! Ugh. I think they want to actually pick movies where the stars might show up ala: Sandra Bullock or Halle Berry - Epiphany Jan 14, 06:35
Jets OC - Chan Gailey -- nm - Strongbad Jan 14, 04:32

On this week's 90 minute version of RAW on Hulu Plus there were two matches. A lumberjack match and a one-hand behind her back Diva match. The rest? - Qale Jan 13, 23:07 2
- As usual for ST WWE posts, this leaves out all the relevant Diva links -- nm - con_carne Jan 13, 23:23 1
  - Eh, Total Divas on E! exists, so there's that. -- nm - Qale Jan 13, 23:47

I don't know what I'd grade Inherent Vice just yet, but it's funny, yet also stupid and pointless - Reagen Jan 13, 22:21

Following yesterday's "queerest cities" rankings, tonight I finally connected the dots on what type of club that rainbow-lit building downtown is... -- nm - Ender Jan 13, 20:56 2
- The joke is always on straight people, since they're the ones who are the hegemon, and its always gays etc. who have to figure out where they bellong -- nm - con_carne Jan 13, 22:54
- "waitaminute... there's something bothering me about this place." -- nm - mafic Jan 13, 20:59
It's been a long, stressful, day, but baby Ronan is improving a great deal, and should be ready to start feeding tomorrow morning. - Scots-IrishStephen Jan 13, 20:48 14

uh oh, the hit counter on grubthing is skyrocketing this evening ... and restaurant owners are starting to complain. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 13, 20:42 10
- At least one has suggested he would contact his lawyers. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 13, 22:46 4
  - that seems like a shrill response for what's essentially public data. also: likely bluffing, unless the hit counter is really going seriously crazy. -- nm - mafic Jan 13, 22:52 3
    - His place was rated 70% based on 2 reports (one glowing, one only slightly below glowing). Basically got penalized harshly for lack of data. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 13, 23:07 2
      - as long as it's all true, there's not really anything he can do. if he wants to waste money to have his lawyers tell him that, I'd say let him. - mafic Jan 13, 23:16 1
        
        It's also not based on user input. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 13, 23:22
- what's their complaint? making public records more easily accessible? - i.b! Jan 13, 20:59 3
  - That and the fact that I built my own algorithm to analyze the data (and the algorithm isn't perfect .... heh) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 13, 21:05 2
    - have you started building your Ultron robot kit yet? -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 13, 21:19 1
      - No. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 13, 21:22
- This should be a fun evening :/ - Beryllium Jan 13, 20:48
Daughter tells me she and a friend are off to England in the spring for a walking tour of the Cotswolds.... - Meg Jan 13, 20:05 3

  - I'm sure I could, maybe break the trip in NY. She may not remember we traveled that area back when - Meg Jan 13, 20:14

  - Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jan 13, 20:32
So apparently putting away 10% of your money before you get it does kind of make it harder to budget. Who knew? -- nm - Qale Jan 13, 19:47 5
- It does if you were previously budgeting 100% :( -- nm - Meg Jan 13, 19:58 4
  - I didn't budget saving all that well, so this is kind of a step up and in the right direction. 10% might be steep, but it's a nice number. - Qale Jan 13, 20:00 3
    - FWIW, budgeting at any (non-Trump income) is tough IME - ty97 Jan 13, 20:19
    - Good man. I wish I did that when I was your age. I just upped mine to 10% with 3% match and I have a lot of catch up to do -- nm - Bacon Jan 13, 20:11 1
      - I am 36. I don't really have much of a plan for the future now. Try to double down on stability? - Qale Jan 13, 20:15

I really like how Whitechapel does things. 3 episodes to a season and they're all great -- nm - CQ Jan 13, 19:32
I'm glad I watched this video before reading about apparent controversy about it. (sia's "elastic heart" feat. shia lebeouf in interpretive dance.) -- (link) - b. Jan 13, 19:31 [youtube] 5
- Agree about the song, agree about the video, but (spoiler) - nubby Jan 13, 19:36 3 1
  - what about his history? - b. Jan 13, 19:41 2
    - Shia spoiler - nubby Jan 13, 20:03 1
      - ah, I knew about that... - b. Jan 13, 20:05

I really really liked the Empire pilot episode -- nm - Epiphany Jan 13, 18:56 6
- I didn't know danny strong was involved before repeated ads for the show during my watching last week's "sleepy hollow" - I had missed that he was - b. Jan 13, 19:17 3
  - b! - budice Jan 13, 19:33 1
