Broccoli and chemtrails for everyone! -- nm - ty97 Jul 14, 11:04
The Civil War: We like to blame South Carolina, but really it's all Kansas's fault. -- (link) - Mop Jul 14, 11:04 [youtube]
Did I ever mention at the local YMCA, they have a sign on the track saying "Odd days, walk clockwise, even days, walk counter-clockwise." It took me - Will Hunting Jul 14, 10:59 12
- so it took six months to finally get aerobized enough that oxygen could reach your brain -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 14, 13:49 1
  - our Y does the same, I just look at which way the others are going -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 14, 13:50
- why is this? -- nm - fabulous squad Jul 14, 11:05 4
  - I dunno....but it's probably a logic I'm unfamiliar with...which given my failings means anything above 1 is odd, 2 is even. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 14, 11:06
  - So that the track wears evenly? -- nm - jangles Jul 14, 11:06 2
    - (shoes) -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 11:06 1
      - Feng Shoe? -- nm - Max Jul 14, 11:07
- "Welcome to Remedial Walking. You've all been sent here..." -- nm - Max Jul 14, 11:02 1
  - "Odd Days Out" - jangles Jul 14, 11:03
- Do they mean clockwise looking from above the track or below it? Because there's your out if someone growls that you're going the wrong way. -- nm - Baron Bing Bong Jul 14, 11:02 1
  - That's the same thing! - Will Hunting Jul 14, 11:04
- *snork* -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 10:59
26 years ago today, When Harry Met Sally premiered. -- nm - Andie Jul 14, 10:58 8
- 15 years ago: X-Men, which is the movie I think marks the beginning of the modern wave of comic book hero movies. - Max Jul 14, 11:06 5
  - ::Has COMIC flashback:: -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 11:07
  - Blade in 1998 was the first success after B&R tanked. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 14, 11:07 3
    - That's true, and I like Blade a lot, but X-Men had the ensemble and big commercial production values. Blade looks more like an indie. - Max Jul 14, 11:10
    - Really, it was Blade '98, X-Men '00 and Spider-Man '02 that did it. -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 11:08 1
      - yeah -- nm - Max Jul 14, 11:10

  - That's not a great picture. -- nm - spamlet Jul 14, 11:04
  - Be careful. - Spawn Jul 14, 11:01
Ok lads, hot date about to show. Wish me luck! -- nm - Loyola Jul 14, 10:52 2
- Refer to yourself in the third person. - Spawn Jul 14, 10:57
- Just be yourself! -- nm - emoticripple Jul 14, 10:56
Shouldn't Rachel from Cardholder Services be in jail by now? -- nm - Ender Jul 14, 10:50
It still freaks me out to look at the phone and see it is Halliburton calling me. -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 10:49
LYC: I get to be Greeter tonight at the theater - con_carne Jul 14, 10:43 9
- I am getting a weird sense of dejavu. -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 10:46 3
  - We're the only chain I know of that does this, so I feel the need to explain a bit - con_carne Jul 14, 10:53 2
    - What I do not get is that other chains will randomly do this. -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 10:54 1
      - Well they should. When done well, it's fun for all concerned - con_carne Jul 14, 11:01
- Nice -- nm - emoticripple Jul 14, 10:46
- Oh THAT guy -- nm - jangles Jul 14, 10:45 3
  - Yup - con_carne Jul 14, 10:51 2
    - You have a twin! -- nm - jangles Jul 14, 10:52 1
      - Ah, but that wouldn't work cause he is way fat now - con_carne Jul 14, 10:55
When a MArvel Trailer leaks vs when a DC trailer leaks -- (link) - Remlik Jul 14, 10:39 24
- This is why Marvel wins. -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 14, 10:47
- True. But the upshot is that DC did eventually release the Suicide Squad trailer. - Mop Jul 14, 10:43 20
  - The SS trailer made me interested, and I had next to none prior to watching the trailer. -- nm - Shaun Jul 14, 11:00 10
    - My interest level went from like a 2 to about a 6 - eag Jul 14, 11:06
    - I'll add that the turn-around on the trailer was amazing. They were filming some of those scenes just weeks ago. -- nm - Mop Jul 14, 11:02
    - It's got me incredibly excited. I'm liking Will Smith as Deadshot. - Mop Jul 14, 11:01
    - Everything looks better with Margot Robbie. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 14, 11:00 6
      - YOU PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE WATCHED PAN-AM!!!!!! - David Jul 14, 11:04 2
        
        Why, if Pan-Am succeeded, she might not have been in WoWS. - Will Hunting Jul 14, 11:05
        
        word -- nm - Heather Locklear Jul 14, 11:05
      - She fits the looks for Harley, there's no doubt there. -- nm - Shaun Jul 14, 11:01 2
        
        I still question the style choices, but yeah. - Spawn Jul 14, 11:03 1
        
        Yup. She seemed to show the right amount of attitude/sexiness in the trailer too. She'll be solid imo. -- nm - Shaun Jul 14, 11:04
  - That's Fox and not Disney/MCU, though. The MCU folks have got this shit down. -- nm - TWuG Jul 14, 10:46
  - The Deadpool effects were not done, so I am fine with that. -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 10:44 7
    - I'll tell you honestly that I wasn't a fan of what I saw in the Deadpool trailer. - Mop Jul 14, 10:48 6
      - You may not be a fan of Deadpool then, cause I think they nailed it. -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 14, 11:07
      - I am fine with the test footage being used at a con to get the fans excited. Which is exactly what they did. - Spawn Jul 14, 10:50
      - But that's Deadpool. They nailed the character. And I do agree with you about the test footage. -- nm - Remlik Jul 14, 10:49 3
        
        This was not really a trailer. - Spawn Jul 14, 10:55 2
        
        (spoiler question) - Mop Jul 14, 10:57 1
        
        Yup. -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 10:57
- That's the exact Marvel tweet I thought of when I saw WB's response. - TWuG Jul 14, 10:40 1
  - Never let them see you sweat. -- nm - Marvel Jul 14, 10:43
so do ladies who use public gyms parade around the women's locker room sans towels the way that dudes at my gym seem to do with abandon? - jangles Jul 14, 10:36 14
- I love the old dudes who camp out at the sink and shave whilst butt naked. Mmm...baby baby. - Shaun Jul 14, 11:03
- rattail them right in the whiskers, they'll cover up quick -- nm - Max Jul 14, 10:55
- agreed. it is hilarious though all the super old guys dgaf anymore and just walk around all hanging out. -- nm - Remlik Jul 14, 10:51 1
  - GAF! - jangles Jul 14, 10:52
- i've often wondered if chicks be checking out each other in the locker room . . . - call me Ishmael Jul 14, 10:38 4
  - I rarely see anyone worth checking out - jangles Jul 14, 10:46 3

- yes, and they also have random ticklefights. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 14, 10:37 3
  - Do those follow the random pillow fights as well? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 14, 10:40 2
    - Well, the feathers that spill out of the pillows are what do the tickling. -- nm - Ender Jul 14, 10:49
    - Either that, or orgies, depending on the day. -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 10:45
- some do. some are more modest. -- nm - Diva Jul 14, 10:37

    - I *hate* ranch dressing. -- nm - fabulous squad Jul 14, 10:42 8
      - How are you on yogurt? I'm thinking you're generally anti-milky things. ice cream, ranch... -- nm - Max Jul 14, 10:57 4
        
        I only like *very specific* yogurt flavors. peach is ok. coconut is best. pineapple is #2. all other yogurt - fabulous squad Jul 14, 11:06 1
        
        I have a pineapple yogurt every day. -- nm - Max Jul 14, 13:50
        
        It's too cold! -- nm - Ross on why he doesn't like ice cream Jul 14, 11:05
        
        *snicker* -- nm - jangles Jul 14, 11:02
      - *gasp* -- nm - groiny Jul 14, 10:53
      - *high five* -- nm - spamlet Jul 14, 10:52 1
        
        "French fries are just like salad. That is why I drown them in Ranch." -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 10:57
- Not when there's a whole bag of melted cheese on it! - IrishStephen Jul 14, 10:33
- Broccoli is one of the few veggies I eat regularly. -- nm - sycor Jul 14, 10:32
- It also smells terrible, and makes a mess when cooking/prepping... -- (edited) - con_carne Jul 14, 10:32

'Ghostbusters' is shooting outside the office building today. -- nm - Diva Jul 14, 10:27 8
- Did you know your building was haunted? -- nm - Mop Jul 14, 10:42
- You need to make a protest sign. - Spawn Jul 14, 10:34 2
  - Yep. Nothing visually appealing about the uniforms, either. It seems everything is very subdued. - TWuG Jul 14, 10:38 1
    - Except Kate McKinnon's hair. That looks like a 1980's reject style. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 14, 10:51
- Cool. -- nm - Loyola Jul 14, 10:29
- This is a reboot of the franchise and not a sequel, correct? - TWuG Jul 14, 10:28 2
  - I think it's kind of both. -- nm - sycor Jul 14, 10:30
  - Uh, sure. Let's go with that -- nm - Sony Jul 14, 10:30

This is an interesting political-legal conundrum - spamlet Jul 14, 10:18 5
- [deleted] 3
  - A lot of this is hedged in the 1998 legislation which was left rather unresolved with a somewhat unclear circuit ruling. -- nm - Mop Jul 14, 11:00
  - From what I understand there is no current legal authority that says that they can. The argument is the Legislature is implicitly saying they can - spamlet Jul 14, 10:23 1
    - [deleted]
- Interesting. -- nm - Mop Jul 14, 10:20
It's Starbond adjust day - LMS Jul 14, 10:15 1
