- I'm almost afraid that Bobby refuses to ever let her go - St Pippy's Day Massacre Feb 11, 09:02

  - I think the only one I don't see having the smarts is McHale...he's too smarmy.... - Will Hunting Feb 11, 09:06
  - He certainly does, but I don't know if he has the anchor-like stage presence ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 11, 09:03 1
    - I agree, I just don't see him in the spot. I love him but don't think he's right, especially with all the politics. - Krusty Feb 11, 09:06
- I like your last two choices. -- nm - Krusty Feb 11, 09:01
- Triumph the Insult Comic Dog! -- nm - Beaker Feb 11, 08:52 1
  - The bit in the Phantom Menace line up still cracks me up. -- nm - zork Feb 11, 08:54

25 years ago, Buster Douglas knocked out Mike Tyson. - Will Hunting Feb 11, 08:51 4
- And I was one of the few people on the East Coast who watched the whole thing live. - David Feb 11, 08:56 3
  - I watched it, we had a satellite at the time and got all ppv's for free. - J Feb 11, 09:12
  - I was so conditioned to PPV's being on Sunday becuase of wrestling, I had no concept Saturday night was boxing night - Will Hunting Feb 11, 08:59 1
    - Boxing was a love that my oldest brother and I shared so I watched everything so that we'd have something to talk about. - David Feb 11, 09:03

Ika.com: is it just me being pirate bloodthirsty or are others letting some Alliances off very easily? -- nm - Beaker Feb 11, 08:39 9
- what do you mean? -- nm - Diva Feb 11, 08:40 8
  - "why do we keep farming nella B and CAT? let's leave her alone!" -- nm - Beaker Feb 11, 08:41 7
    - (piper and evh) -- nm - Beaker Feb 11, 08:42 6
      - oh - they're former CAT and probably feel bad. And maybe they were feeders for her. -- nm - Diva Feb 11, 08:52 5
        
        we'll have to manage the PR on that. CAT got comfy there, cut separate deals with ViP etc. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 11, 08:53
        
        oh, did not know they were former CAT. my point still stands! -- nm - Beaker Feb 11, 08:53 3
        
        Nella B said she can't wait until server merge and she "never, *ever* has to see" NOVUS again. -- nm - Diva Feb 11, 08:55 2
        
        oh I saw that one yesterday. screw that loser -- nm - Beaker Feb 11, 08:57 1
        
        I hope the .com Alpha is as batshit crazy as the .org one was at the start. They'll never last -- nm - Beaker Feb 11, 09:00
what a bad time to be away for a day or two. I take it that the lotto pool is closed. -- nm - zork Feb 11, 08:32 4
- Wondered where you were - tickets aren't bought yet, I'm off down to the village in a little while. -- nm - Meg Feb 11, 08:54 2
  - hmmm - zork Feb 11, 09:13 1
    - Exactly... -- nm - Meg Feb 11, 09:23
- My vote is that we give people a share of our imaginary winnings anyway. -- nm - David Feb 11, 08:36
For those of you that follow her or are friends with her, Amy is home resting now, so all is well. -- nm - Ultron Feb 11, 08:31 8
- yay! -- nm - Beaker Feb 11, 09:10
- good. here's to a speedy recovery. -- nm - decline Feb 11, 08:45
- Yay. Have you tricked out that scooter for her yet? -- nm - zork Feb 11, 08:35 2
  - I still have my Hello Kitty horn that was on mine. - Kim Pine Feb 11, 08:46 1
    - When I brought Pepper into the office the other day, I put a Hello Puppy bow on her. -- nm - zork Feb 11, 08:48
- Yay! Hopefully she's recovers quickly. -- nm - Krusty Feb 11, 08:34
- not sure what is happening (my fault as I haven't checked FB in awhile) but hope all is well and that she's resting well. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 11, 08:33
- awesome. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 11, 08:32
How about Wanda Sykes for the Daily Show. -- nm - pmb Feb 11, 08:25 4
- I think she is exactly wrong for it. The host needs to be subtle. -- nm - David Feb 11, 08:26 3
  - There are several things I would call TDS... subtle isn't one of them -- nm - con_carne Feb 11, 08:43 2
    - Not the show, the host. -- nm - David Feb 11, 08:57
    - Compared to Wanda Sykes ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 11, 08:47

- MC Hammer became Hammer and nobody listened -- nm - con_carne Feb 11, 08:48 1
  - Puff/Puffy/Daddy/Diddy/whatev. and whatever Snoop is supposed to be now -- nm - zork Feb 11, 08:51

  - deadmau5, Jamiroquai -- nm - Roger More Feb 11, 08:22 6
    - see! - St Pippy's Day Massacre Feb 11, 08:24 5
      - Well, you *are* pretty at least. -- nm - zork Feb 11, 08:34
      - *exactly* -- nm - prayformojo Feb 11, 08:26
      - Ha! -- nm - Krusty Feb 11, 08:26
      - Hee! - David Feb 11, 08:25 1

I ordered a pair of shoes in at the local NB store - they were too narrow. There were literally no other shoes that they could even order in for me. -- nm - Reagen Feb 11, 08:09 14
- NB are often too narrow for me as well. -- nm - Diva Feb 11, 08:53
- That's what you get for shopping in New Brunswick. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 11, 08:48
- and there is literally one option in hiking shoes to order on the NB website - Reagen Feb 11, 08:16 9
  - just taking a wild stab in the dark here, but this may not be the brand for you -- nm - decline Feb 11, 08:17 8
    - they are pretty much the *only* brand for me - Reagen Feb 11, 08:18 7
      - have you tried Brooks? -- nm - decline Feb 11, 08:20 2
        
        Hmm, don't quite have it, but thanks for the suggestion - Reagen Feb 11, 08:28 1
        
        they are by far my running shoe of choice -- nm - decline Feb 11, 08:32
      - I dunno if you're willing to order from a guy in the US, but I know the dude who works with all the University of TN athletes and specializes in... - Kim Pine Feb 11, 08:19 3
        
        in principle, yes - Reagen Feb 11, 08:22 2
        
        Yeah, shipping would probably be the catch. - Kim Pine Feb 11, 08:25 1
        
        from talking with the store yesterday, a bit of it is that I'm caught between seasons - Reagen Feb 11, 08:31
- just cut the side open -- nm - decline Feb 11, 08:10
- you could just wear the boxes? -- nm - groiny Feb 11, 08:10
is it too early to start talking box office weekend $$ for 50 Shades? HSX has it at 60 mil - I say higher - St Pippy's Day Massacre Feb 11, 08:07 10
- 50 Shaved Old Gays! -- nm - Beaker Feb 11, 08:47
- I'm thinking somewhere between $90 and $100 million for the 4-day weekend. - Inigo Feb 11, 08:23 3
  - it seriously boggles my mind that such a crappy piece of literature has resulted in these huge numbers - decline Feb 11, 08:34 1
    - It's not like it's that much worse than Twilight. -- nm - Reagen Feb 11, 08:49
  - I like your math -- nm - St Pippy's Day Massacre Feb 11, 08:24
- the OW Option has it at $74,. -- nm - Andie Feb 11, 08:12 3
  - any thought to if you are taking over/under on your office bet? -- nm - St Pippy's Day Massacre Feb 11, 08:15 2
    - we haven't picked the number yet. won't be doing that till Friday, actually. - Andie Feb 11, 08:23 1
      - hee! -- nm - St Pippy's Day Massacre Feb 11, 08:25
- think higher. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 11, 08:08
I saw Avengers for the first time last night. A- -- nm - Strongbad Feb 11, 08:05
Did 2 of 3 Nightfalls last night. Got an exotic shard and 7 ascendant shards. Not awesome. -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 08:03 38
- A shotgun, a badger and some shards. I'm never getting Gjallahorn. -- nm - David Feb 11, 08:06 34
  - Good roll on the Badger? -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 08:08 31
    - I didn't even look. I've already got two. -- nm - David Feb 11, 08:11 24
      - I don't know why you want that rocket launcher. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 11, 08:21 23
        
        When I'm fighting Crota... - David Feb 11, 08:24
        
        I can't even tell if serious... -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 08:22 21
        
        I am prefectly happy with my 8 shell holding monster Hezen Vengeance. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 11, 08:24 20
        
        Ok so you are serious. Fair enough... - Shaun Feb 11, 08:29 [youtube] 19
        
        lol, that guy received the Mythocast AND a Hard Light for that win!!! - groiny Feb 11, 08:31 12
        
        I still haven't beaten VoG on Hard. The drops are apparently ridiculous. -- nm - David Feb 11, 08:32 11
        
        It's a mixed bag. You get 2 'rolls' against the loot table, but they are independent. - Shaun Feb 11, 08:35
        
        I assume if you had 4 32 ranked dudes, we could do it. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 11, 08:34 9
        
        I mean, people could do it at 29. Unfortunately, Remlik still can't make that jump. - David Feb 11, 08:36 8
        
        Spades is not far, but he needs one piece of armor to go, he would not be there this weekend. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 11, 08:42
        
        It'd be rough with 4 people, likely almost impossible. It can be difficult enough with 6 30+ people. -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 08:38 6
        
        He's saying 4 32s and 2 others. We rarely have a problem getting six. -- nm - David Feb 11, 08:42 5
        
        Ahhh. My mistake. 32s are nice for relic holding though. -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 08:43 3
        
        Yes, all three of my characters are 32 now, so I get in groups where people expect me to run relic. - David Feb 11, 08:44 2
        
        Running the relic is awesome, which I only just recently discovered (in VoG). Makes you feel like a badass. -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 08:50
        
        "I shot the wall" -- nm - groiny Feb 11, 08:45
        
        right, 4 32's and 2 31's. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 11, 08:42
        
        Another example... - David Feb 11, 08:31 5
        
        There was a reddit thread awhile ago where a guy tested a maxed Gjallarhorn vs a maxed Truth. - Shaun Feb 11, 08:33 4
        
        I actually think it's a problem for Bungie moving forward. Everybody is locked in on Icebreaker and Gjallarhorn. - David Feb 11, 08:37 3
        
        They makes things easier for sure, but I don't think they are game breaking. - Shaun Feb 11, 08:40 2
        
        17 seconds I would say is game breaking. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 11, 08:43 1
        
        It's not. I've done dozens of hm Atheon kills and almost no one uses a Gjallarhorn, for 2 reasons. - Shaun Feb 11, 08:53
    - I love my Badger - groiny Feb 11, 08:09 5
      - I have a maxed one on my titan, but I rarely use it. I have better primaries for high-end stuff and patrols are used for leveling new stuff. - Shaun Feb 11, 08:13 4
        
        well, I have a maxed Hard Light, Multi Tool, Badger, that I rotate - groiny Feb 11, 08:16 3
        
        That last sentence makes me want to cry. That's my go to primary for most of the VoG, especially the Atheon fight. -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 08:17 2
        
        you're telling me!!!! - groiny Feb 11, 08:18 1
        
        I actually have 3 of them, but only one is maxed. I just want that damn VoC. -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 08:19
  - try crimson's method. - Truman Feb 11, 08:07
  - ~so when you really love me you should bring me Gjallahorn...~ -- nm - groiny Feb 11, 08:07
- I got my second Plan C, and a legendary engram in 2 runs. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 11, 08:05 2
  - What did you get with the engram anyway? -- nm - David Feb 11, 08:06 1
    - the purple boots for my Titan. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 11, 08:07
For the record - I don't have a problem with Wookies. - Mel Profit Feb 11, 08:01 5
- what about ewoks? I mean, aren't you from a rival tribe? -- nm - Truman Feb 11, 08:06 4
  - let me be clear...I'm cool with most species as long as their not aligned with the Sith. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 11, 08:07 3
    - and even then, if they are sexay, who cares? -- nm - Truman Feb 11, 08:08 2
      - I mean them slave girls with the droopy pool noodles on their heads could be the daughter of the Emperor for all I care. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 11, 08:20 1
        
        I tried searching for it, but all I found was this. -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 11, 09:00 [Image]
Are you ready for the last act, to take a step you can't take back? -- (link) - David Feb 11, 08:01 [youtube] 1
