is it me or are Tom's hands pretty much always on Gisele's ass? -- (link) - Diva Feb 11, 07:57 2
- understandable -- nm - St Pippy's Day Massacre Feb 11, 08:06
- Haha -- nm - James Bond (on phone) Feb 11, 08:04
CFB Recruiting: RB Matt Colburn signs with Wake Forest, a week after Louisville pulled his scholarship and asked him to grayshirt. -- (link) - Strongbad Feb 11, 07:46 7
- I hope the kid has a monster game against Louisville -- nm - decline Feb 11, 07:53 2
  - He's got ultimate motivation to become a stud. That's for sure. -- nm - David Feb 11, 08:01
  - This. -- nm - MDH Feb 11, 08:00
- is this the one where the asshat told him he was in but then had some assistant coach call him to tell him he was out? -- nm - St Pippy's Day Massacre Feb 11, 07:48 3
  - Yes, it's another example of how the NCAA is a slaver organization. The kid is screwed. The coach has zero accountability. -- nm - David Feb 11, 07:50 1
    - Just wait till next season. - Strongbad Feb 11, 07:52
  - Yes, the day before Signing Day. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 11, 07:50

Overnight, TiVo recorded a tv movie called I Want to Marry Ryan Banks. It stars Jason Priestley, Bradley Cooper, Emma Caulfield and Mark L. Walberg. - David Feb 11, 07:27 2
- I continue to get the suspicion that his signature is written on some contract in blood somewhere. -- nm - Reagen Feb 11, 07:37
- 6.2 stars out of 10 on IMDB. Will the real Mark Wahlberg please stand up -- nm - St Pippy's Day Massacre Feb 11, 07:30

- After his trade, the Hawks only went what, 11 & 2? - Will Hunting Feb 11, 07:34 6
  - They sorely missed him in the Super Bowl, though. -- nm - David Feb 11, 07:37 4
    - Yeah, but with him there, they weren't making the Super Bowl. - Will Hunting Feb 11, 07:38 3
      - I see it differently. They were a playoff team no matter what. - David Feb 11, 07:39 2
        
        They weren't a playoff team with him; they were a .500 team. - Will Hunting Feb 11, 07:44 1
        
        What he was in the locker room doesn't change the fact that he was a potent counterpunch to Marshawn Lynch. - David Feb 11, 07:49

ok Destiny peeps, what is the best way to farm glimmer? -- nm - groiny Feb 11, 07:10 19
- The first mission on the moon at the second lowest level. - David Feb 11, 07:14 18
  - 2K is stupidly low, unless you aren't popping Resupply Codes prior to doing the loop. - Shaun Feb 11, 07:44 8
    - umm resupply codes are for mars, not the moon though - Truman Feb 11, 07:57 4
      - ummm David corrected himself below. -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 07:58 3
        
        Yeah, it was totally my fault. The first mission on the moon has the hive swarm. - David Feb 11, 07:59
        
        ummmm ladies, you are all pretty. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 11, 07:58 1
        
        *blushes* - Truman Feb 11, 08:01
    - I've never really tried it, so I'll defer to you. -- nm - David Feb 11, 07:50 2
      - It's effective and easy, but glimmer farming is boring. I need a lot of it after getting a slew of new gear. - Shaun Feb 11, 07:54 1
        
        needed... -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 07:54
  - I finally got Eris to level 4, and I have no glimmer to upgrade my shit. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 11, 07:17 7
    - Next, you'll run out of black wax idols. - David Feb 11, 07:19 6
      - I have like 30 sitting there to be used. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 11, 07:20 5
        
        How far away from level 32 are you? - David Feb 11, 07:21 4
        
        probably more than 30 - groiny Feb 11, 07:24 3
        
        Pick one and get to 32. Everything gets easier after that. - David Feb 11, 07:29 2
        
        my guess is I need 28, I have 30 wax idols and 40 energy, so I should be good, just need glimmer. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 11, 07:56
        
        I expect I will be 32 by Saturday. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 11, 07:51
  - Err, Mars. Sorry about that. -- nm - David Feb 11, 07:16

- I envision residents with flame throwers in their hands railing at the sky while lighting it up -- nm - St Pippy's Day Massacre Feb 11, 07:04 2
  - and screaming like Tom Cruise in Taps. And Jerry Maguire. And Born on the Fourth of July. And Magnolia. And The Last Samurai... -- nm - Diva Feb 11, 07:21 1

ST Poll / Prediction: Who do you want to replace Jon Stewart? Who do you think will get the job? -- nm - Beaker Feb 11, 06:01 36
- A year ago Seth Meyers would have been a great choice but he's booked. Wanda Sykes would actually be great at this . -- nm - pmb Feb 11, 08:18
- John Oliver -- nm - decline Feb 11, 07:00
- I'm not sure it rests on finding someone funny so much as finding someone with a low tolerance for BS, populist ideals, and the ability to - TWuG Feb 11, 06:51 8
  - "populist ideals" translation "somebody who liberals under 50 like" -- nm - Strongbad Feb 11, 07:17 4
    - I bumped into Barney Frank yesterday btw... - Mel Profit Feb 11, 07:57
    - Pretty much, I mean, the Tea Party movement is populist, but Ted Cruz would not be a popular host. -- nm - Roger More Feb 11, 07:51
    - Well, smart people under 50. -- nm - David Feb 11, 07:30
    - Justin Trudeau!! -- nm - Beaker Feb 11, 07:19

  - what is Jon going to be doing instead? -- nm - St Pippy's Day Massacre Feb 11, 06:52 1
    - He hasn't said. I hope it's something huge that follows the primaries and election next year. - TWuG Feb 11, 06:55
- i wonder who would be up for the daily grind of it. -- nm - Diva Feb 11, 06:37

    - I'd support keeping Gitmo open for the expressed purpose of detaining her. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 11, 06:51 3
      - Unacceptable. I need her to keep being Mabel. - Kim Pine Feb 11, 07:13 1
        
        They can film her scenes from Gitmo. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 11, 07:37

    - Tina Fey is awesome! -- nm - Krusty Feb 11, 07:39
    - Well, John Oliver is awesome but I can't imagine him leaving HBO. - Kim Pine Feb 11, 06:28 1
      - Oliver would be a net loss. He's already where he's supposed to be. -- nm - David Feb 11, 06:52

    - I don't see him doing the politics or the interviews well. I love him and think he's hysterical but - Krusty Feb 11, 06:43

- Westinghouse? I know he financed him but no idea who Tesla worked with -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 20:55 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - I would say it's poorly worded since I don't think Westinghouse actually did any work on the motor. - Krusty Feb 10, 20:59 2
      - I guess it counts since Tesla couldn't make anything without his contribution. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 21:00 1

- He's taking it back! -- nm - Randal Feb 11, 04:57
- Not saying the station reacted appropriately, but the question was in poor taste. -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 04:55
- I think my boss used the word niggardly recently and all I could think of was that journalist or human resources case in the news some years ago. - Max Feb 11, 02:57
- if the story is accurate, I think he was right to ask and the station overreacted. the fallout is not going to help either side when the dust settles -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 10, 20:40
- Under the circumstances he does have a point. - tobor.2 Feb 10, 20:26
