    - i didn't necessarily mean "we". I meant industry estimates and HSX numbers. i think they are all low. -- nm - Andie Apr 16, 09:24 1
      - I completely agree. It caught my attention as a clever gimmick with one ad and now the reviews are expanding the potential audience. -- nm - Der Frühlingshafterbaron Apr 16, 09:30

      - FB feeds make sure we look at all crap whether we want to or not. I like baby photos but people abuse the crap out of this utility -- nm - Epiphany Apr 16, 09:31
    - because the insisent baby photos were not mind numbing the 1st time around. -- nm - Epiphany Apr 16, 09:23
- I eventually had to unfollow someone on FB because they use Timehop and none of they "never show me this" options provided by FB would kill it. -- nm - TWuG Apr 16, 09:14

Will, there is a Moe's in the plaza on 26 with Buffalo Wild Wings. I like Moe's a lot but I like Cafe Rio better. - kelly Apr 16, 08:50 2
- Moes is the best of the chains but there's (almost) always a better local place. - spamlet Apr 16, 08:55 1
  - Oh, there's a local place here that is THE absolute best. As chains go, though, I prefer Cafe Rio (looks like it's mostly on the west coast). -- (link) - kelly Apr 16, 08:57

Conference room walls are thin. Boss is chewing out an employee and I can hear it over the Foo Fighters -- nm - amoxy Apr 16, 08:44 7

  - Brantley said much the same referring to Morrison as 'handsomer and much more profitable'. -- nm - diva Apr 16, 08:52 3
    - it's a tough call... - Mel Profit Apr 16, 08:54 2
      - It makes sense to open with Morrison to try to make the show stick - ty97 Apr 16, 08:57 1
        
        Agreed. This show should grow and eventually become an amazing draw to family audiences (touri$t$). - diva Apr 16, 09:05
