PFT: Broncos not optimistic that Demaryius will sign today. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 15, 09:40 6
- That $12mil per offer, I guess, just wasn't enough. I love me some DT - but he ain't Megatron. -- nm - Jim Jul 15, 09:45 3
  - They are 2 of my favorite college players ever. - Strongbad Jul 15, 09:46 2
    - Your IM is exactly why DT needs to be slotted in behind Megatron. -- nm - Jim Jul 15, 09:51 1
      - I agree. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 15, 09:57
- *sues everyone* -- nm - NFLPA Jul 15, 09:42 1
  - what do you mean everyone? -- nm* - Beaker Jul 15, 09:47
Well, I am going to lunch which means all the kick-ass Prime deals will happen, so be ready. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 09:38 6
- I like how this is the prevailing attitude so far. -- nm - budice Jul 15, 09:47
- The wife and I are looking for a Sound Bar for the TV. If anyone sees one -- nm - Bacon Jul 15, 09:44 3
  - There a couple that are over $100 off. I bought an LG. Also Bose. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 15, 09:57
  - There is a sound STAND coming up in one minute. -- nm - emoticripple Jul 15, 09:49
  - tron the backboards. a couple have been posted -- nm - Beaker Jul 15, 09:45
- Thanks! -- nm - emoticripple Jul 15, 09:38
Has Walmart also been a complete bust for deals for the US as well? -- nm - Shaun Jul 15, 09:37 7
- I saw a $ 20 steam shark that seemed like a good deal -- nm - Pippy the Blank Slate Jul 15, 09:40
- I stopped by there to see how their Xbone deal stacked up; it was essentially the same. -- nm - emoticripple Jul 15, 09:39 1
  - Yup. :-( -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 09:40
- They had an X-Box One for $199, but that is about it. - Spawn Jul 15, 09:39 3
  - You bastard! - Krusty Jul 15, 09:40 2
    - I love that Krusty seems to have more pent-up rage than I do. If you'd ever met him, you'd never think that. -- nm - Mop Jul 15, 09:43 1
      - Heh. :-) I really want an Xbox sale and I'm more sad than angry right now. - Krusty Jul 15, 09:49
That this seems noteworthy tells the whole tale, but I do endorse this keyboard and this is a good price for it. -- (link) - emoticripple Jul 15, 09:28
Harvey! -- nm - LMS Jul 15, 09:25 1
- He's bigger and grander than anything they offer me. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 09:29
Happy Jack Dawson Prime Day! He's better than the other Jack Dawsons! He's PRIME! -- nm - Mop Jul 15, 09:24 2
- Then that makes Will Optimus Prime -- nm - eag Jul 15, 09:50
- He is the Omega Jack Dawson! -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 09:25
I wonder how things are evolving at Amazon HQ. That is, are they adapting the sales based on response? - Mop Jul 15, 09:24 3
- Maybe this was all just a ruse to generate more Prime memberships? -- nm - Strongbad Jul 15, 09:59 1
  - that is not how capitalism works - Pippy the Blank Slate Jul 15, 10:00
- One can hope. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 09:25
Just watched the trailer for Sisters. Not very impressed. It is apparently rated R though, so there's hope. -- nm - Shaun Jul 15, 09:17
Remilk, Spawn... - Mop Jul 15, 09:14 5
- good man. thank you -- nm - Remlik Jul 15, 09:27
- If only they had 10 and the Tardis. -- nm - sycor Jul 15, 09:25
- Yeah, I had seen that during the con and checked back. The Orphan Black Helena made me laugh. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 09:19 2
  - super irritated that I can't get the Chimichanga truck -- nm - Remlik Jul 15, 09:29 1
    - Yup. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 09:29
Compilation of horrible movie special effects. -- (link*) - Shaun Jul 15, 09:01 5
- Missing from the compilation: Total Recall and Raiders of the Lost Ark -- nm - Mop Jul 15, 09:28 4
  - only if by horrible you mean awesome -- nm - Beaker Jul 15, 09:46 3
    - Arnie's asphyxiated head... Toht's melting face... -- nm - Mop Jul 15, 09:50 2
      - I'm with Beaker. Those were great. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 15, 09:54
      - awesome! -- nm - Beaker Jul 15, 09:51
Gronk... -- (link) - decline Jul 15, 08:59 2
- "Spiking a football on a butt was fun!!" -- nm - Gronk si Jul 15, 09:16
- ... ing to remember. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 09:00
Entertainingly poorly written headline: Nude Man Found Drinking Beer in Barn With Pigs on Neighbor's Farm, Police Say -- nm - prayformojo Jul 15, 08:57
Great look at the Superman suit. -- (link) - Shaun Jul 15, 08:54 [Image]
Well Dubai sucks a big time so far. Most worthless border agents I've seen in my life. -- nm - icolin Jul 15, 08:53 1
- I'd think Dubai would be a lot like Houston. Mostly all about the dollah bills yo. -- nm* - Qale As Folk Jul 15, 08:57
Has the U.S. military taken over Texas yet? - znufrii Jul 15, 08:49 2
- Yup. -- nm - America, 1865 Jul 15, 09:22
- wait for it - Pippy the Blank Slate Jul 15, 08:50
US to Paris (through Iceland) for $99 -- (link) - jangles Jul 15, 08:49 8
- I wonder if you can do a multi-day layover in Reykjavik. -- nm - Mop Jul 15, 09:22 3
  - Usually when WOW runs these sales that's how they do it. See Iceland for a couple of days and then move on. -- nm - spamlet Jul 15, 09:24 2
    - That seems like a spectacular opportunity. -- nm - Mop Jul 15, 09:29 1
      - It's basically how they fill their planes. There's not enough demand otherwise. -- nm - spamlet Jul 15, 09:42
- No discounted flights back, so you'd better cozy up to a frenchman while you're there. -- nm - emoticripple Jul 15, 08:54 1
  - Just take the train back -- nm - Bacon Jul 15, 08:59
- Do I have to be a Prime Member? -- nm - Bacon Jul 15, 08:49 1
  - well there is a lot of fine print and fees so it does sound perfect for the sucker crowd -- nm - jangles Jul 15, 08:50
Looks like this will be the best they offer on the Xbox One. The MCC console, 1TB, Borderlands and a year of gold for $400. -- (link) - Krusty Jul 15, 08:40
Here's your XBone deal -- (link) - ML Galaxy Jul 15, 08:38 16
- It's a *decent* deal. It's just no Black Friday deal. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 15, 08:55
- Amazon, I am disappoint -- nm - emoticripple Jul 15, 08:44 6
  - Very much so. I expected a much better price on the system. -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 08:46 5
    - It's too bad they didn't do just the regular 500GB one without any extras, maybe for like $250. -- nm - Shaun Jul 15, 08:47 4
      - That's what I was looking for. No kinect or added on games that I already own on the 360. Just the system and a controller. - Krusty Jul 15, 08:51 3
        
        They're still adding deals, it seems like hourly. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 15, 09:13 2
        
        I'll keep watching but my hopes are very low now. Who knows, maybe they'll put up a simple system package. - Krusty Jul 15, 09:18
        
        Looks like the 32" TV for $199 is available, and the Echo was back up and available. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 15, 09:15
- I took too long to type. - Krusty Jul 15, 08:41 7
  - nobody cares but I got a queen sheet set for $ 9.90 *shrug* - Pippy the Blank Slate Jul 15, 08:43 6
    - i will help you ruin it -- nm - groiny si Jul 15, 08:46
    - Nice! I'm glad people are finding a few deals they like. This is very much like a Woot Off. - Krusty Jul 15, 08:45 4
      - I picked up a DBZ boxed set. Have been wanting to start watching these with Logan and got a good 24 hours worth! -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 09:12 3
        
        Very nice! -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 09:13 2
        
        I signed up the for the 30 day free prime. I will cancel it before it ends. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 09:24 1
        
        Same. I don't shop enough to make it worth while. The movies are okay but I have Netflix and HBO as well as Vudu. -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 09:42
Blind Item from the weekend - budice Jul 15, 08:38 14
- You know what he says to cancer? -- (link) - oblique Jul 15, 09:55 [Image]
- Oh shit. -- nm - Mop Jul 15, 09:40
- caught early enough it's not that bad. - Mel Profit Jul 15, 08:52 8
  - Treatments these days are so far past what was even available 5-10 years ago. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 15, 09:01 5
    - that's great because I was going off of experience with one of my grandfathers from 15 years ago which seemed routine even then. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 15, 09:11 1
      - Oh, yes. Big difference from my grandfather to my dad, and from my dad (a few years ago) to now. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 15, 09:11
    - My dad and uncle were both just diagnosed with it last month, and scheduling and undergoing the treatments has been on par with going for a haircut. - emoticripple Jul 15, 09:04 2
      - We have a proton therapy center here. It really reduces the downtime and side effects. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 15, 09:10
      - my uncle got treated (he`s fine now) and part of the treatment was hormone therapy - which basically gave him menopause symptoms. - Andie Jul 15, 09:09
  - He will find it and he will kill it - eag Jul 15, 08:56 1
    - with his own two hands... - Mel Profit Jul 15, 08:57
- Oh no. -- nm - kelly Jul 15, 08:40
- bummer -- nm - Pippy the Blank Slate Jul 15, 08:40
- :( -- nm - Andie Jul 15, 08:38
good job, space commander. now don't blow it up -- nm - jangles Jul 15, 08:35
*cleans up after being mauled on B2* *somehow needs both a towel and wet-knaps* -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 15, 08:32 2
- Hey birthday boy, off to lunch yet? -- nm - kelly Jul 15, 08:37
- No amount of wet-knaps can remove... that. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 08:33
Cafepress Ted Movie - Talking Ted Backpack Clip (Rated R) -- (link) - Spawn Jul 15, 08:31 1
- ($12.00) -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 08:32
MAJ: WHAT WAS YOUR NUMBER?!?! -- nm - Ender Jul 15, 08:28 3
- I mean it's got to be in the low to mid four digits at her age -- nm - jangles Jul 15, 09:53
- She got jerked around for weeks. She's only treating us to some of the same karma. -- nm - Mop Jul 15, 09:46
- DIGITS!!! -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 08:29
Unfortunately, they are installing carpet upstairs today making my apartment uninhabitable again. Bawwww. -- nm - Qale As Folk Jul 15, 08:27 2
- At least it'll be quieter in the future. -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 08:32 1
  - Not necessarily. And really the only reason I hated the former neighbors were their disregard for their dog. - Qale As Folk Jul 15, 08:39
thanks for the list, everybody -- nm - prayformojo Jul 15, 08:26
Cool Factor 10. A floating speaker orb. -- (link) - Bacon Jul 15, 08:25 2
- I have seen cheaper ones in the past. Have no idea of quality, though. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 08:27 1
  - If it had little city lights on it and looked like the Death Star it would be bought by me. -- nm - Bacon Jul 15, 08:30
Shamir's song "On The Regular" is getting pretty big press recently. I don't understand a lot of ultranew style etc, but this is pretty fresh/I like. -- (link) - MDH Jul 15, 08:19 [youtube]
Dear Android, If you inform my phone there is an update and then give me the option of scheduling when I want it to occur, please do what I ask. - Spawn Jul 15, 08:17 12
- How sure are you that you chose pm? -- nm - Ender Jul 15, 08:21 1
  - It was 11am when I chose. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 08:23
- Switch your phone to wifi updates only. But yeah, I guess they don't listen anyway -- nm - Bacon Jul 15, 08:18 9
  - System updates probably don't count against the data cap. -- nm - Ender Jul 15, 08:24 1
    - Yeah, but where my office is located means poor reception, so slooooow. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 08:26
  - Pretty sure I had. But maye that was just for Amazon apps. Will check when it is done. - Spawn Jul 15, 08:20 6
    - Is it Lolipop? -- nm - eag Jul 15, 08:52 5
      - How do I find out? -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 09:08 4
        
        You probably won't till it finishes -- nm - eag Jul 15, 09:15 3
        
        This was just an update, but I think it already has Lolipop. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 09:22 2
        
        5.0.1 - Lollipop -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 09:27 1
        
        Well I know there rolling out 5.1 - eag Jul 15, 09:52
Spartacus! -- nm - Beryllium Jul 15, 08:14 1
- Also, Papillon. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 15, 08:16
I will give a million dollars to the person who invents a cough syrup safe for toddlers/young children. (age limit these days is 6+) - kelly Jul 15, 08:13 19
- Do you have a million dollars? I don't think so, so I'm not telling. -- nm - Roger More Jul 15, 09:04 1
  - Maybe I do, maybe I don't...I'm not telling til I'm shown that cough syrup! :) -- nm - kelly Jul 15, 09:05
- poor little man. Hope he's back up to YEAH strength soon - prayformojo Jul 15, 08:26 3
  - Yeah, sorry. My plan for 22JS and a few more Gilmores being done by Monday clearly didn't happen. - kelly Jul 15, 08:28 2
    - don't worry about that at all -- nm - prayformojo Jul 15, 08:31 1
      - You know I will anyway! :) -- nm - kelly Jul 15, 08:31
- Yeah, it's always frustrating when parents have questions about that. Kids were getting overdosed so they decided DM wasn't appropriate for under 6. -- nm - Tim Jul 15, 08:25 1
  - Better safe than sorry. -- nm - kelly Jul 15, 08:37
- Haven't you always wanted a monkey? -- nm - Bacon Jul 15, 08:16
- Like this? -- (link) - oblique Jul 15, 08:14 9
  - That's literally just honey and no medication. -- nm - Tim Jul 15, 08:24 4
    - (which is what we're already giving him) -- nm - kelly Jul 15, 08:26
    - isn't that the point though? (at least for kids that young?) -- nm - oblique Jul 15, 08:26 2
      - sure, but it might help, it might not. -- nm - Tim Jul 15, 08:28 1
        
        Much like a lot of adult cough syrup, then. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 08:28
  - I was explicitly told yesterday no cough syrup til age 6, so I didn't even look at that. We've been giving him tea with honey, which works so-so - kelly Jul 15, 08:18 2
    - sorry to hear he's so miserable. those were never fun times. I hope he gets better soon -- nm - oblique Jul 15, 08:20 1
      - Thanks. Lucky us/him, he's hardly ever sick. He gets a cold every now and then (usually Father's Day weekend) that brings a fever, but hardly ever - kelly Jul 15, 08:26
  - Yeah, there are a few options out there. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 08:18
