I'm officially obsessed with the pizza murder. so obviously we are getting pizza for dinner tonight. - amanda May 21, 10:39 6

  - Pizza mustn't be flammable. -- nm - Loyola May 21, 10:43
  - I've heard that fire tends to actually enhance things like fingerprints in certain scenarios, maybe the same is true for DNA? -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 10:41 1
    - (Well, preserve, not enhance, in the case of DNA) -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 10:42
  - Wait till they find out it was just the pizza delivery guy spitting on the guy's pizza because that house is notoriously bad tippers -- nm - oblique May 21, 10:41

- one confusing part, the 'chili' dog does not in fact have any chili -- nm - zeitgeist May 21, 11:26
- Kind of makes me want to make a corn dog out of doritos -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 10:35
- That is a thing of beauty. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 10:28
San Andreas has been getting big exposure on the Today Show the past two mornings. -- nm - Meg May 21, 10:00 3
- I saw him filming it on Fisherman's Wharf when I was in SF last summer. It was great because they closed the streets to all vehicle traffic. I was - jnine May 21, 10:42

  - The "just making sure everyone still agrees about me" tour -- nm - con_carne May 21, 10:34
I've had S'mores Oreos, too. They are very tasty. But they'll be even better when baked into chocolate brownies. - TWuG May 21, 09:59 2
- They're not exclusive to anywhere are they? -- nm - iSpam May 21, 10:05 1
  - Not as far as I know. -- nm - TWuG May 21, 10:21

- Not yet, But it's in the works. -- nm - San Andreas May 21, 10:51
- kinda personal man. -- nm - groiny May 21, 09:42
If the new Poltergeist does not have a specific line from the original, i will consider the whole thing pointless. (original spoiler inside) - San Andreas May 21, 09:40 8
- well, more precisely, I think that it needs . . . - call me Ishmael May 21, 09:51
- isn't that in the trailer? -- nm - decline May 21, 09:48 3
  - is it? i see NO advertising! -- nm - San Andreas May 21, 10:20 2

      - i wonder if it's playing at our drive in next weekend? that would be a perfect movie for the drive in. -- nm - San Andreas May 21, 10:29

Wow. Peyton about David Letterman. - Spawn May 21, 09:35 1
- Interesting. -- nm - volnelk May 21, 09:56
The trailer for San Andreas should just be a black screen and white letters that says "Gugino. Daddario. Slow motion running. and the Rock." -- nm - volnelk May 21, 09:34 1
- "...Slow motion eating." -- nm - con_carne May 21, 09:35
If nothing else, my new Fitbit has shown me exactly how poorly I sleep most nights. (Last night was an extreme, though.) - kelly May 21, 09:32 2
- I was thinking about getting a fitbit. Is it recommendable? -- nm - MadCrow May 21, 10:13 1
  - I've only had mine for a few weeks (Fitbit Charge HR), but so far I'm very pleased. -- nm - kelly May 21, 10:26
My now ex dentist's receptionist says to me; we can't fit you in today, come in tomorrow around 12 and I'll see what I can do but I can't guarantee - Loyola May 21, 09:32 2
- dude, I am sorry - tooth pain is the worst. -- nm - Epiphany May 21, 09:37 1
  - I got going with another dentist, thank God. The amount of Nurofen I took today...fuck. -- nm - Loyola May 21, 09:40
The helicopter in ads for San Andreas keeps making me think of Outbreak. -- nm - Max May 21, 09:19 12
- I think it was bad casting having the Rock in it. At least try to get a half serious actor. -- nm - Loyola May 21, 09:35 10
  - I haven't paid attention to the trailers, but I don't necessarily agree that the Rock isn't at least a half-serious actor. - Beryllium May 21, 09:43 7
    - Haven't seen the Rundown. I like disaster flicks. But the Rock is the male equivalent of Goldie Hawn. - Loyola May 21, 09:56 6
      - Isn't he fairly serious in Fast and Furious? -- nm - sycor May 21, 10:28 1
        
        Given the nature of the Fast and the Furious films, he's probably more serious in the tooth fairy -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 10:33
      - Baller on HBO looks like it is going to be super terrific -- nm - Epiphany May 21, 10:18 1
        
        it looks like fun. -- nm - Diva May 21, 10:19
      - go watch The Rundown right away -- nm - Beaker May 21, 10:12 1
        
        Will do. -- nm - Loyola May 21, 10:22
  - Like John Cusack? -- nm - amoxy May 21, 09:36 1
    - Well yeah. -- nm - Loyola May 21, 09:37
- The Rpck and his Monkey -- nm - budice May 21, 09:23
From B2 for Berry: Coincidence: I just got an e-mail for a webinar next week on A/B testing.... - Walt_Disney May 21, 09:11 2
- I've been thinking of applying it to something ST-related. - Beryllium May 21, 09:32 1
  - Thats cool..... - Walt_Disney May 21, 09:45
I sometimes pace while on conference calls. Due to old age and altitude, I'm running short on breath while talking at times. -- nm - ty97 May 21, 09:08 9
- or, you are just out of shape. -- nm - decline May 21, 09:23 1
  - that too -- nm - ty97 May 21, 09:29
- That's not good. Stop pacing. -- nm - Loyola May 21, 09:22
- At home? What altitude? -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 09:17 5
  - Boulder. Around 5400 feet. -- nm - ty97 May 21, 09:29 3
    - that would happen there. -- nm - Diva May 21, 09:31 2
      - Dropping about 2500 ft in elevation makes me feel like Superman. -- nm - Reagen May 21, 09:47 1
        
        I've ended 2 national tours in Denver of shows that I did for 9 months to a year. We'd performed the show literally hundreds of times and it was - Diva May 21, 09:58
  - standing up -- nm - Beaker May 21, 09:22
Hmmm. If they ever do Survivor: Total Loser, I guess Dan, Will and Rodney would be asked back. Who else? - Jovian May 21, 08:54 10
- Spawn -- nm - professor smartbrain May 21, 09:04
- Bring back Boston Rob given his 'victory' is a joke. -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 09:02 2
  - Aw hell...now you've gone and done it. -- nm - Jim May 21, 09:03 1
    - I mean, i'm pretty sure I could win if you picked a team who worships me. -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 09:05
- Eh, I don't think Rodney qualifies. He's one of those forgettable guys that should never be asked back for anything. -- nm - Jim May 21, 08:56 4
  - I love how all three of them were completely clowned out last night -- nm - Jovian May 21, 08:57 3
    - Overall, what did you think of the season? I really liked it. - Jim May 21, 09:00 2
      - Oh overall I really liked it as well. (spoils) - Jovian May 21, 09:05 1
        
        Also, Probst was golden with Dan last night (spoils, I guess) - Jim May 21, 09:31
- I remember that hillbilly guy as being really bad -- nm - CQ May 21, 08:55
groiny, a 33 with 365 Gjallarhorn takes 2 rockets to take down HM Crota's shield, so not sure about a 34. -- nm - Shaun May 21, 08:52 18
- I'm up to level 10 and still don't know what you all are talking about. -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 09:00 16
  - I hope you can get to level 26 or 27 soon and you can join us for some fun. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 09:02 15
    - It just might take a while. Tried my first Crucible bout, and unsurprisingly, I sucked and was worthless. - JaxSean May 21, 09:04 14
      - FWIW, it's not directly due to your level. You had 0 map familiarity, inferior weapons and armour, and you are short on perks for your subclass. - Shaun May 21, 09:07 3
        
        I attribute it to more of my skill level as well. I suck. - JaxSean May 21, 09:09 2
        
        between Halo, Call of Duty, and Destiny, I play tons of those type of games - groiny May 21, 09:12 1
        
        I was definitely an average Halo player at best and I'm horrible at CoD, however, given the way Destiny is, I'm much more successful. - Shaun May 21, 09:14
      - Crucible takes a bit to learn how to play. Which character type did you make? -- nm - groiny May 21, 09:05 9
        
        Sorcerer? I have another that's at level 4, but I haven't played that since porting to the Xbone -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 09:06 8
        
        Warlock. - groiny May 21, 09:08 7
        
        OK. Will be playing some this weekend. - JaxSean May 21, 09:17 6
        
        oh, it should be much easier for you to level up if she is playing. - groiny May 21, 09:20 5
        
        Do we have to be playing at the same time? - JaxSean May 21, 09:34 4
        
        what Shaun said. -- nm - groiny May 21, 09:40
        
        Shared vault across 3 characters and there are also websites and apps that you can use to swap gear/resources. -- nm - Shaun May 21, 09:39 2
        
        Three characters of mine, or on the machine? She's a different Xbox Gold Account. - JaxSean May 21, 10:04 1
        
        Ahhhh, ok, that makes it clear. You are on your own then :) -- nm - Shaun May 21, 10:06
- have not run hard mode Crota, but normal mode, my 31 takes him down with 2 rockets on 331. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 08:55
There is a dude in the Texas Rangers system listed at 6'4, who started as a LF and has now moved to CF/SS. - Will Hunting May 21, 08:51
i did it all for the cookie -- nm - professor smartbrain May 21, 08:50
I swear i see no advertising for Poltergeist. -- nm - San Andreas May 21, 08:50 24
- The box office projection pains me. This is Poltergeist, people! Go see it! -- nm - Max May 21, 09:20
- and like MM:FR, it seems there is more 3d showings than not. - Jovian May 21, 08:56
- I've seen a fair bit....I have seen *nothing* for San Andreas. -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 08:53 14
  - San Andreas is all over CBS. -- nm - MDH May 21, 09:15
  - I've seen tons for San Andreas, probably because we watch a lot of Comedy Central. -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 09:08
  - I've been seeing a lot for San Andreas on all the ESPN 'sports screaming' shows. - Diva May 21, 09:05 1
    - Oh, that explains it. I've not turned on ESPN since probably Easter. -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 09:06
  - all over the place here...and it looks idioticly stupid -- nm - Beaker May 21, 09:05 9
    - It does look bad, but good bad like 'The Towering Inferno'. (I wouldn't pay to see it in a theatre.) -- nm - Diva May 21, 09:07
    - Most disaster movies are unfathomably stupid. I still love them. -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 09:05 7
      - [deleted]
      - oh goodness yes. I can watch Day After Tomorrow all the time even now :) -- nm - Beaker May 21, 09:06 5
        
        Every time I watch that movie, I root more and more for the wolves. -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 09:07 4
        
        Outrunning the super frost is the best. -- nm - Shaun May 21, 09:08 1
        
        I like how the President of the US is among the last people to flee. - Will Hunting May 21, 09:11
        
        THE COLD IS COMING! QUICK SHUT THE DOORS!! -- nm - Beaker May 21, 09:08 1
        
        now, let's burn more of these Fing books.... -- nm - Beaker May 21, 09:08
- started seeing some for something called origin. freaks me the F out -- nm - Beaker May 21, 08:51 5
  - Could it be "I Origins".. ? That one's not new in theatres, though - would be advertising for DVD or BlueRay. -- nm - Facto May 21, 09:06
  - is that Canadian ? I dont see it on the other site -- nm - Epiphany May 21, 09:02 3
    - I thought that was the name, something to do with Insidius I think? or one of those types -- nm - Beaker May 21, 09:03 2
      - is Insidius 3 coming out soon and it is the origina story? -- nm - Beaker May 21, 09:07 1
        
        June 3rd and yes - says its a prequel. will it make $ 20 mil?? eh.. -- nm - Epiphany May 21, 09:15
- The clown poster we up at work for this is kind of freaky. That clown would definitely eat you in your sleep. -- nm - sycor May 21, 08:51
We are undergoing federal security clearance at work. There is so much paperwork to fill out. -- nm - sycor May 21, 08:49 1
- Are you now, or have you ever been, a communist? -- nm - zeitgeist May 21, 11:32
Jeff Varner looked shocked he made the cut and Natalie Tenerelli looked shocked she didnt make the cut last night. - Jovian May 21, 08:47 5
- Varner didn't think he would be remembered. I'd wager the only thing Natalie's ever lost on a vote was her season to Boston Rob. - Jim May 21, 08:57
- I can't remember which pod it was that said that natalie was "villain-adjacent" because she played with russell. people see her as an extension of him - amanda May 21, 08:57 3
  - That was Stephanie...she was the one who came into Russell's 3rd season and thought it was a good idea to align with him. - Jim May 21, 08:58 2
    - all the brunette ingenues. how can I keep them straight? -- nm - amanda May 21, 08:58 1
      - I think that is why Kelley Wentworth made it. The brunettes were interchangeable. -- nm - Jim May 21, 09:01
puzzled by something posted on the other site... -- nm - Diva May 21, 08:45 13
- Seems passive-aggressive. Feels weird and inappropriate. -- nm - Facto May 21, 08:52 2
  - yes -- nm - groiny May 21, 08:55 1
    - Scrubbed now. Tzukai added a mocking message to TheFox (parodying the latter's broken English). -- nm - Facto May 21, 09:37
- 720p is definitely better -- nm - Beaker May 21, 08:49 1
  - *hands you 112 RC points* --nm - ReluctantCynic May 21, 09:16
- The ineptitude and bitterness? -- nm - Epiphany May 21, 08:47
- *blank stare* -- nm - groiny May 21, 08:47
- do tell. -- nm - San Andreas May 21, 08:46 5
  - wtf? -- (link) - Diva May 21, 09:02 4
    - "This post has been removed..." - David May 21, 10:22 3
      - It was removed by the time I looked, too. But apparently this Fox person made some sort of attack on this "RM" person. (Roger More?) -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 10:23 2
        
        and went into some weird drama about 'i realize now that you're sick and that's probably why you post to me the way you do'. i was all, 'wtf?' -- nm - Diva May 21, 10:29 1
        
        Everyone knows RM is a damn troublemaker. -- nm - David May 21, 10:34
