- gift cards aren't bad, and maybe the tv. it does say that's just a sampling, too. (but, yah, eh.) -- nm - b. Jul 14, 13:47 2
  - "a small sample of the deals" -- nm - groiny Jul 14, 13:51 1
    - right, but that list isn't moving many people to the site. otoh, if they post really good things, there'll be a rush and then possible disappointment - b. Jul 14, 13:55

STIF*: Air Canada round trip to Hong Kong $496 - emoticripple Jul 14, 13:32 4
- Why is Air Canada booking flights from Portland/Seattle/Chicago/etc. to Hong Kong? -- nm - Mop Jul 14, 13:38 3

  - EVACUATION PLANS!!! -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 13:46
I think this is the first poll with Trump in first. I miss that horse-race animation. -- (link) - mara Jul 14, 13:29 4
- Go further to the right, GOP candidates! It's what must be done to defeat Trump! -- nm - Mop Jul 14, 13:46
- In related news (and yes polls means next to nothing right now) Trump leads GOP field in NC -- (link) -- ty97 Jul 8, 15:30 -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 13:31 2
  - Oh, sorry. -- nm - mara Jul 14, 13:36 1
    - No worries. Except him leading. -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 13:38

  - You guys be trippin. Now it's $48400. No, I'm not freaking out. -- nm - Amanda Jul 14, 13:25 15
    - So, did you ever figure out how that happened? That's cool you need less, but worrisome on how that's coming about. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 14, 13:40
    - See if you can delay closing by a week, I bet you can break $30k. -- nm - Ender Jul 14, 13:29

        yes, but now that you're rolling in money... -- nm - Max Jul 14, 13:33 1
        
        Exactly! Budgeted? The budget just experienced an injection of steroids! -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 13:36
        
        65" TV? Rupert will look awesome on that!!! -- nm - Jim Jul 14, 13:32
    - awesome :) so you can now take the extra and throw a kick-ass party at the new pad -- nm - decline Jul 14, 13:26 5
      - I don't have any faith in any number she gives me. -- nm - Amanda Jul 14, 13:30 1
        
        oh god no, i would just assume the bank will be calling tomorrow asking where the last ten grand is. Are you off all week? -- nm - Andie Jul 14, 13:37
      - Or at least get internet. -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 13:27 2

- Rated R, hopefully -- nm - Max Jul 14, 13:26
- Chinese hackers already have it. -- nm - Mop Jul 14, 13:05
- They meet in Kenya -- nm - jangles Jul 14, 12:43 2

- Who compiled it? -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 12:41

- Gilmore's polling at 1% -- (edited) - Will Hunting Jul 14, 13:08
- That's a bad chart. Some of those circles are not mutually exclusive. You can be establishment *and* moderate. -- nm - Mop Jul 14, 13:04 9
  - That's the little overlappy part of the chart. -- nm - spamlet Jul 14, 13:05 8
    - Or: how Venn Diagrams work -- nm - Reagen Jul 14, 13:11 7
      - I can't wait to see the Venn diagram for "People who understand Venn diagrams" -- nm - Roger More Jul 14, 13:50
      - I disagree. This isn't "A" or "B" or "C". It's "A" or "1" or "Banana". -- nm - Mop Jul 14, 13:41 2
        
        No it's "A *and* B" etc. Look at Perry, he's Establishment, Christian AND Tea Party - TWuG Jul 14, 13:47
        
        Again... -- nm - Reagen Jul 14, 13:43
      - I was trying to be explain-y. -- nm - spamlet Jul 14, 13:33
      - *golf clap* -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 13:25
      - L3 -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jul 14, 13:23
- I think Jindal is in the wrong spot. -- nm - pmb Jul 14, 12:40 3
  - I could see an argument to move him due south a bit - ty97 Jul 14, 12:42 2
    - I'd put him more in the CC / TP group now than Establishment. - Will Hunting Jul 14, 13:12
    - Right. I'd put him in that small overlap. -- nm - pmb Jul 14, 12:50
- (What's a Gilmore?) -- nm - ty97 Jul 14, 12:37 2
  - Emily's pretty New Hampshire Republican. -- nm - Reagen Jul 14, 13:12

  - Still not sold on Doom, but hopefull. - Spawn Jul 14, 12:59
A friend of mine was just asked to bring a blindfold to a first date. A *first* date. -- nm - Diva Jul 14, 12:31 15
- I've read about this before (in not-so-creepy ways), maybe dude read a dates idea page or something. -- nm - b. Jul 14, 12:49 4
  - Or 9 1/2 Weeks is his favorite movie. - Spawn Jul 14, 13:02 3
    - well, I'd judge some for that, because it wasn't a very good movie; and he's probably a poser and not the real deal. -- nm - b. Jul 14, 13:12 2
      - Ah... elements of it were a *great* movie! -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 13:16 1
        
        oh yah, some parts were enjoyable. -- nm - b. Jul 14, 13:35
- Blindfolds put the U in UAI. nm - Dignan Jul 14, 12:45
- It's good to see Mr Cosby bouncing back -- nm - ty97 Jul 14, 12:40 1

- he'll bring the duct tape -- nm - Beaker Jul 14, 12:39
- And a cigarette -- nm - jangles Jul 14, 12:38
- Clever. If somebody ever says yes, (s)he's in for a wild night. -- nm - David Jul 14, 12:37
- Maybe he's really ugly. -- nm - pmb Jul 14, 12:33
- Blind-date. - Spawn Jul 14, 12:32
- Ooh, are we playing piñatas? -- nm - Diva's friend Jul 14, 12:32
- About Time! -- nm - Max Jul 14, 12:32
I'll be honest: I didn't expect Pluto to be round. -- nm - Mop Jul 14, 12:27 11
- Even after seeing Ceres? -- nm - mara Jul 14, 12:32 4
  - Ceres can suck it! -- nm - Mop Jul 14, 12:35 3
    - That escalated quickly. -- nm - mara Jul 14, 12:52 2
      - Ceres knows what it did. -- nm - Mop Jul 14, 13:09 1
        
        cereously -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 14, 13:36
- That's not a position I would expect anyone to hold dishonestly either way. -- nm - Max Jul 14, 12:29 5
  - It basically disqualifies me from holding public office. -- nm - Mop Jul 14, 12:34 4
    - I'll be honest: I didn't expect Pluto to be the disqualifier. -- nm - TWuG Jul 14, 12:39 3
      - I guess it all depends on exactly what he *was* expecting it to be? -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 12:40 2
        
        The shape of Mickey's dog? -- nm - eag Jul 14, 12:41 1
        
        That is the shape of my heart. -- nm - Mickey Jul 14, 13:17
I'm zero percent hippie, guys. -- (link) - fabulous squad Jul 14, 12:22 44

  - Also "what do you use to improve the smell of your home" needed an "N/A" answer -- nm - Roger More Jul 14, 13:03 2
    - yes, it did. -- nm - Andie Jul 14, 13:10
    - Agreed. Or at least an, "Open the window". -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 13:04
- 34%. Only the 34 percenters get to go to Nobu. -- nm - Remlik Jul 14, 12:59 2

    - Take the quiz, fool! -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 12:53
- 34% -- nm - Krusty Jul 14, 12:39 13
  - Same here. -- nm - emoticripple Jul 14, 12:57
  - me, too. (as usual, some questions were too limiting for me. maybe add another few percentage points there just for that? haha.) -- nm - b. Jul 14, 12:51 10
    - Yeah. I don't use anything like candles or incense. I just open a window. -- nm - Krusty Jul 14, 13:06 1
      - heh, that was one for which I had to choose just one. I use candles sometimes, some other non-lung-killing scent products others. -- nm - b. Jul 14, 13:10
    - *waves paws to clear away the thick haze of marihuana smoke, coughing* -- nm - barnaby bear Jul 14, 13:03 3

      - I only got to 93 of their shows. so many good ones I never saw :( -- nm - Peglegpete Jul 14, 12:58 1
        
        I totally enjoyed seeing them but do not really enjoy listening to their stuff. -- (edited) - Spawn Jul 14, 13:03
  - Put shoes on ya damn hippie! -- nm - ty97 Jul 14, 12:45
- 0% I was expecting like 8% based on my answers. -- nm - ty97 Jul 14, 12:33
- 0% -- nm - Beaker Jul 14, 12:33
- Much to my surprise, 34%. -- nm - pmb Jul 14, 12:32

Actor Jesse Eisenberg compares Comic-Con to genocide -- (edited) - Spawn Jul 14, 12:21 11
- He can fuck off. Peter Capaldi's story on Conan about his Comic-con experience is more what I'd expect. - Mop Jul 14, 13:45
- He taught me how to interview and what his process is like and now I understand the pariahs that you guys are. -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 14, 13:07
- Hallie Kate needs to work more -- nm - Peglegpete Jul 14, 12:46
- That sounds exactly like something Jesse Eisenberg would say. -- nm - Qale Jul 14, 12:28 1
  - ... with his particular non-committal delivery. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 12:30
- He's still in character, that's all. There there, Lex, you'll be fine. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 12:28
- Yeah, it's exactly like that *smh* -- nm - znufrii Jul 14, 12:24
- he really is a douchbag -- nm - decline Jul 14, 12:22 1
  - Totally -- (link) - Spawn Jul 14, 12:26
- Yeah, bad choice of of words, there. He does, though, seem to have pretty serious anxiety issues with crowds. - TWuG Jul 14, 12:22
