I'm surprised that the Game of Thrones audition reel released by HBO at SDCC doesn't include... -- (link) - Mop Jul 10, 15:12 [youtube]
Has anybody seen Amy (Amy Winehouse bio-doc)? It's playing at the local AMC in the Cinema Suites and was surprised that the first show is $6.49 - JD Jul 10, 14:59 5
- It's supposed to be quite good. -- nm - spamlet Jul 10, 15:56
- Thinking about going this weekend -- nm - jangles Jul 10, 15:23
- I have heard very good things, it's on my short list to see -- nm - ty97 Jul 10, 15:15

ok, one more, here's yesterday's fun with words. I think it'll be easy peasy here. - b. Jul 10, 14:58 3

    - Aw, thanks. :-) -- nm - mara Jul 10, 15:07
If you heard "under-bum is the new side-boob", would you understand what that is without "under-bum" being defined? -- nm - Mop Jul 10, 14:56 9
- Yes, but it really is a bad term as the "under-bum" is what you expect to see if you see any part of the bum. The side-boob is not. At least much less - Spawn Jul 10, 15:11 4
  - You don't see "under-bum" if you see butt crack. I'm thinking you don't know what under-bum is. -- nm - Mop Jul 10, 15:17 3
    - Also, unlike side boob, under bum rarely looks good. - pmb Jul 10, 15:20 2
      - I've seen very little bad under-bum. -- nm - Mop Jul 10, 15:25 1
        
        It's everywhere unfortunately. Too many young women (that really have no business trying to wear it) are wearing it. -- nm - pmb Jul 10, 15:30
- Yes, and I think it was first. -- nm - mara Jul 10, 15:03 2
  - Really? Seems like you would just call it the bum, and be done. -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 15:12 1
    - Oh, well, I guess I wasn't talking about the term itself, just the phenomenon. -- nm - mara Jul 10, 15:17
- yes. -- nm - b. Jul 10, 14:59
There's a trailer to the 2nd half of season 2 of Gravity Falls (July 13!!!) and it is... OMG, chills. -- (link) - Mop Jul 10, 14:47 [youtube]
There's been a lot of funny headlines today, but this one wins: Ellen Pao resigns as Reddit CEO. -- (link) - Mop Jul 10, 14:44 4
- I don't think those reddit folks should feel very good about that. -- nm - b. Jul 10, 14:52 3
  - Neither do I. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jul 10, 15:08
  - Reddit is full of ragequitters -- nm - TWuG Jul 10, 15:00
  - I'm honestly surprised the backlash was strong enough to force her out. I expected it to blow over. -- nm - Mop Jul 10, 14:52
I was hanging around the mall to avoid the painting going on upstairs. I did not stay long enough. -- nm - Qale Jul 10, 14:41 14
- Q!, I hope it's finished soon! unrelated, did you see this the other day? nm but: -- (link) - b. Jul 10, 14:53 [Backboard] 13
  - As commenters mentioned that version is sped up which rather ruins the sound. (And I'm such a remix whore!) - Qale Jul 10, 14:56 12
    - oh, sorry, I didn't listen to the video version, just spotify. I really dislike when that's done. - b. Jul 10, 15:00 11
      - You're (become?) such a electronic music fan. I was in JC Penny and shazamed John Tejada. It's pretty nice glitchy/deep house. -- nm - Qale Jul 10, 15:08 4
        
        I've long liked some, but the trend in the last several years to have more that's not as hardcore clubby has - b. Jul 10, 15:13 3
        
        oh, did I ever link you to a local stations's subsonic show? nm but: -- (link) - b. Jul 10, 15:21 1
        
        Those playlists seem pretty good. I mean it's at least what you'd get if you subscribed to satellite and listened to BPM. -- nm - Qale Jul 10, 15:28
        
        I trend toward two divergent paths. The uplifting vocal stuff for happiness, and the downtempo non vocal for writing. -- nm - Qale Jul 10, 15:18
      - I love Troye and I love Zedd so I mean I can't see how I wouldn't love the song. There's been some controversy about how he pre-sold an album that is - Qale Jul 10, 15:06 5
        
        I've not heard of that - I mostly watch his videos and sometimes see instagram or twitter. I don't see that's much different than a gofundme or - b. Jul 10, 15:08 4
        
        Well people pre-ordered it via iTunes. I imagine they might get refunds if demanded. It's just one blemish on the otherwise perfect Troye. -- nm - Qale Jul 10, 15:13 3
        
        is it not going to be delivered on-time? that could be a thing, otherwise *shrug* -- nm - b. Jul 10, 15:16 2
        
        Oh it's late. It's like nearly a year late. And that he wouldn't even address it in any #AskTroye is drama worthy. -- nm - Qale Jul 10, 15:19 1
        
        oh, that is bad then! tsktsk! totally should give refunds, if requested. -- nm - b. Jul 10, 15:23
I didn't feel like typing wednesday's then, but I saved it. it's more fun with words. -- (edited) - b. Jul 10, 14:32 8

    - I tried that, (at least I think I did). It's not coming up with a word though. -- nm - pmb Jul 10, 14:48 3
      - I'll start you off.. - b. Jul 10, 14:51 2
        
        Ok. - pmb Jul 10, 14:55 1
        
        you got it; and, ah, that would explain it. :) - -- nm - b. Jul 10, 15:03
tomorrow's mensa page brings more math. - b. Jul 10, 14:21 5
- Fuck math! -- nm - jangles Jul 10, 15:24
- I got it. - pmb Jul 10, 14:26 3
  - Oof, I figured it with math, I'm a little relieved I can still do basic maths - Guigue Jul 10, 14:33 1

      - Rightfielder made a sliding catch (that looked like it might have been trapped) and dropped the ball as he was taking it out of his glove. Cubs - pmb Jul 10, 14:18 3
        
        Thanks. I was listening and didn't catch it all. Are you at the game? -- nm - spamlet Jul 10, 14:33 2

Pretty excited ... just got asked to be in a wedding as the groom's "best person" - the bride has asked a guy friend to stand up for her. I'm good - JenBro Jul 10, 13:51 6
