      - Euro cards do not. - spamlet Jul 7, 13:44 3
        
        we have both on our cards (but stripe needs pin) -- nm - Andie Jul 7, 13:52
        
        even if I use them in a chip reader? -- nm - fabulous squad Jul 7, 13:44 1
        
        If you only ever use them in a chip reader, they're more secure. But as soon as you use them in a swipe reader you're no better off - spamlet Jul 7, 13:48

  - I haven't been there/had that in forever; but I remember liking it, too. really red and maybe with some cumin in it? -- nm - b. Jul 7, 13:21 1
    - yes, plus just the right amount of basil and and it's the perfect runniness for their skinny chips. man I love that salsa. -- nm - fabulous squad Jul 7, 13:24
  - I love their cheese sticks. Everything else can burn though. -- nm - sycor Jul 7, 13:13 1

  - He IM'ed me unsolicited which tells me 'wear jeans and a polo' -- nm - ty97 Jul 7, 13:33 7
    - perhaps not casual but I'd be the best dressed casual one in the group. do the right thing here. It's easy, cost you nothing and subtly even - tim mie Jul 7, 14:11 6
      - The worst that could happen is that you'd be suspected of being a snotty brown-noser who wants your manager's job! -- nm - Roger More Jul 7, 14:23 1
        
        If he shows up in a tux, sure. - Mel Profit Jul 7, 14:24

Hogan had to turn heel...he was increasingly irrelevant as a babyface in the mid-90's. - Will Hunting Jul 7, 12:43 21
- But that was like Superman turning Heel. - Mel Profit Jul 7, 13:01 11
  - Oh, it was great television...but Hogan doesn't regret anything that makes Hogan money. - Will Hunting Jul 7, 13:14 9
    - he did a *great* interview with Chris Jericho on his podcast where he was straight shooting for the most part. -- nm - Remlik Jul 7, 13:20 1
      - "Yeah Chris, I think you're too small to be entertaining. Too honest?" -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 7, 13:21
    - Of course it took another wrestling orginazation to turn him - eag Jul 7, 13:19 6
      - Vince would do just about anything if it was proven there was more money to be made on the other side. - Will Hunting Jul 7, 13:21 5
        
        yup but he didn't want Hogan at the time. Thought he was to old. same with Macho -- nm* - Remlik Jul 7, 13:24 4
        
        Im curious as to why we have never seen a movie made of the WWE - eag Jul 7, 13:34 1
        
        cause Vince will want total creative control. After Beyond the Mat and Wrestling with Shadows he'll never let that happen again -- nm - Remlik Jul 7, 13:49
        
        Vince couldn't afford Hogan. They were bouncing paychecks like crazy. -- nm - David Jul 7, 13:26 1
        
        Also, the whole "turned against Vince" in court...thingy. - Will Hunting Jul 7, 13:48
  - But Will is right - eag Jul 7, 13:11
- Thats only cause his character as a face never evolved - eag Jul 7, 12:53
- yup -- nm - Remlik Jul 7, 12:46 7
  - So, anything he says about regretting turning heel is a joke given he's all about the money which that gave him *tons* of. - Will Hunting Jul 7, 12:48 6
    - I agree -- nm - Remlik Jul 7, 13:05
    - FWIW, he did an HDNet interview where he said just the opposite. - David Jul 7, 13:00 4
      - Hogan's opinions on any given topic sway with how much money he's gonna possibly make -- nm - Remlik Jul 7, 13:06 2
        
        The HDNet interview is the most human I've ever seen him be. - David Jul 7, 13:20
        
        Yeah, if he could figure out a way to market his sex tape, he'd be singing Gawker's praises right now. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 7, 13:09
      - Yeah....with him though, I could see him being that disengenous. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 7, 13:06
you should see what Krusty does around Iberico ham. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 7, 12:35 3
- I think that was a Iron Chef ingredient recently - the dishes were tasty looking -- nm - JenBro Jul 7, 13:56
- krusty keeps kosher -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 7, 13:15
