  - You're dead on btw regarding "Two Cathedrals". - Mel Profit Jul 20, 08:52
  - I mean, yeah, I didn't really include the Simpsons because it's not fair. But Cape Feare is the best thing that's ever been on TV. -- nm - Reagen Jul 20, 08:49 1
    - Agreed. -- nm - Spawn Jul 20, 08:50
  - I also find Brooklyn 99 to be a wonderful comfort show where they all run together, but it's so well done, i'm good with that. - Will Hunting Jul 20, 08:27
  - Liz's high school reunion is probably my favorite 30 Rock -- nm - Beaker Jul 20, 08:22 4

      - Which one is Ludachristmas? - Will Hunting Jul 20, 08:27 1

    - That never gets old. "Donnie's pants are tight!" - TWuG Jul 20, 08:20

those comments by the whitesox radio guy during the games over the weekend were something special. -- nm - Truman Jul 20, 08:03 7
- Which ones? I liked the discussion of passing kidney stones. It was a good metaphor for our season. -- nm - spamlet Jul 20, 08:06
- Unrelated: My Titan is up to level 33. Would love to run a level 32 PoE tonight if you or anyone is up for it. -- nm* - Spawn Jul 20, 08:05
- after the Royals player celebrated his home run? -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 08:04 4
  - that, and the one about throwing directly at a guy when he squares up to bunt. - Truman Jul 20, 08:17 3
    - you do throw at a guy when he tried to bunt, makes it harder to get it down. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 08:22 2
      - yes, but (and i may have gotten them confused now) is that the one where he said throw at their head to knock them down. -- nm - Truman Jul 20, 08:28 1
        
        I believe he said to go high and tight to get the batter to bail out. - groiny Jul 20, 08:41
12-Month Xbox Live Gold Membership + $2 Rakuten Cash $30 w/ Visa Checkout -- (link*) - Spawn Jul 20, 07:57
I'm having trouble just picking the best episode of Justified. -- nm - Max Jul 20, 07:56 5
- Bulletville -- nm - David Jul 20, 08:04
- I think I go with Bloody Harlan for that one. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 20, 07:57
- that one where Raylan shoots that guy.... -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 07:57 2
  - No wonder the awards just skipped them. -- nm - Spawn Jul 20, 08:00
  - The one shooting that immediately came to mind is when he's approaching Ava(?)'s house in the dirt driveway and a guy with a shotgun pulls on him - Max Jul 20, 07:59
as you may or may not know, I just bought a house. it's small, but very functional. last night, my friend mike came over and immediately - fabulous squad Jul 20, 07:55 12
- Has Mike done home renovations of his own? If so, this is more "misery loves company" -- nm - Roger More Jul 20, 08:17
- You do not have central air? Ouch. -- nm - Spawn Jul 20, 08:09 9
  - I don't have it now either, boy do I miss that. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 08:15
  - I live in central pennsylvania. our average high in july is 81 degrees. -- (link) - fabulous squad Jul 20, 08:13 7
    - But what about heating in the winter? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 20, 08:28
    - i don't have it either, it was 90* yesterday, and humid. If you turn on a fan, it's not that bad. (people think it's impossible to live without.) -- (edited) - Andie Jul 20, 08:28 2
      - It's super uncommon here. Would maybe be used two weeks a year. -- nm - Reagen Jul 20, 08:50 1
        
        Your air is much drier -- nm - zork Jul 20, 08:55
    - AKA 10 degrees too warm to be comfortable. *hugs his AC* -- nm* - TWuG Jul 20, 08:21
    - Yeah, our AC would be on. But I get that out there no AC is the norm. -- nm - Spawn Jul 20, 08:16
    - *moves there* -- nm - spamlet Jul 20, 08:15
- Put up a sign on the door that reads "Mikez not allowd" -- nm - Max Jul 20, 07:57
Maybe The Sopranos - Pine Barrens. - Kim Pine Jul 20, 07:53 2
- Whitecaps -- nm - jangles Jul 20, 08:12
- They said he's from Czechoslovakia! He's an interior decorator! -- nm - Reagen Jul 20, 08:00
Jamie Lee Curtis does Cosplay at this year’s Evolution Championship Series -- (link) - amoxy Jul 20, 07:49 1
- i just *knew* there was a reason why I loved her so much all of these years . . . -- nm - call me Ishmael Jul 20, 08:08
I am simply shocked by this. -- (edited) - Spawn Jul 20, 07:45 1
- I love the facial expressions. -- nm - spamlet Jul 20, 07:48
Band of Brothers - Bastogne. -- nm - Reagen Jul 20, 07:44 7
- agreed. it's where we saw them at their best and what made them family forever. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 20, 08:11
- as an overall series, i would say BOB is my favourite, ever. -- nm - Andie Jul 20, 07:55 3
  - if this is a poll, I have been thinking recently that mine is either FNL or gilmore girls. -- nm - fabulous squad Jul 20, 07:57 2
    - GG is wonderful, Definitely Top 5. I think #2 is Six Feet Under. -- nm - Andie Jul 20, 08:08
    - (and my favorite comedy series is the office, despite everything. man I wish I had internet at home. I would so be bingeing the office right now.) -- nm - fabulous squad Jul 20, 07:57
- I picked Day of Days, but you could stock a top 10 just from their episodes really -- nm - Beaker Jul 20, 07:46
- gawd yes -- nm - ML Jul 20, 07:45
Said the Joker to the Thief... -- nm - David Jul 20, 07:43 3
- This episode of BSG has the best ending, but I still like 33 overall. -- nm - Inigo Jul 20, 08:51 1
  - They're both perfect 10s, but the former one blew my mind in a way that no other TV show ever has. -- nm - David Jul 20, 09:02
- "Oh I'm not gonna kill ya. I'm just gonna hurt ya, really really bad." -- nm - Spawn Jul 20, 07:52
Chicago STers... Can I ask for some help? -- nm - colin Jul 20, 07:42 28
- you can ask -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 07:45 27
  - i expect nothing! okay, here goes. - colin Jul 20, 07:49 26
    - Colin, if your costs are covered, stay downtown. Save the commute, there's more to do and it's easier to get stuff done. It's not a close call IMO. -- nm - pmb Jul 20, 08:30 1
      - done. appreciate the feedback from everybody :) -- nm - colin Jul 20, 08:54
    - What costs will be covered by your work? And are you getting a hotel with a kitchenette, or will you be eating out for most meals? -- nm - Roger More Jul 20, 07:58 12
      - up to $75 a day in food, hotel is fully covered. I'd like to not eat out, so kitchenette is important. -- nm - colin Jul 20, 08:01 3
        
        I think I'd just stay downtown. The costs are covered, the supermarkets downtown are probably nicer and you'll get a more Chicago experience -- nm - Roger More Jul 20, 08:08 2
        
        ok. and I like the idea of a shorter commute... 40 min - 1 hour is a lot of time if I don't have to. -- nm - colin Jul 20, 08:10 1
        
        Especially stuck in a car not moving much. I hate driving downtown and take the CTA/Metra whenever I'm home. -- nm - spamlet Jul 20, 08:12
      - yeah, just get a residence hotel. almost all of them allow dogs. also, if you know you're there for two months, negotiate a better rate. - fabulous squad Jul 20, 08:00 7
        
        the hotel downtown is a residence hotel with separate bedroom, kitchenette, dog friendly..initially why I picked that location. Plus quick commute. -- nm - colin Jul 20, 08:02 6
        
        where exactly will you be working? - groiny Jul 20, 08:04 2
        
        near the Morgan Lake station, Fulton Market. Hotel looking at is on West Kinzie/N Dearborn -- nm - colin Jul 20, 08:06 1
        
        yeah, you might be better off staying down there if work is covering the hotel then. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 08:10
        
        if the hotel is fully covered, wouldn't parking there be covered as well? -- nm - fabulous squad Jul 20, 08:03 2
        
        the hotel downtown has absurd $50/day parking.. not a lot of space. the office next door has negotiated rates.. about $150/month. - colin Jul 20, 08:04 1
        
        are you still London based? how is the rental in Houston going? -- nm - Pippy the Blank Slate Jul 20, 08:25
    - IMO..... - groiny Jul 20, 07:55 6
      - is Midway airport a decent area to stay in? my wife will be with me and I don't want to strand her in a place with nothing nearby (stores, bars, etc) -- nm - colin Jul 20, 07:58 5
        
        yes, there is plenty nearby. - groiny Jul 20, 08:01 4
        
        work covers most cost, so that's not the issue.. i just want a place that's going to be comfortable for 2 months. also, you up for meeting up? -- nm - colin Jul 20, 08:03 2
        
        I am. Since I work downtown, I can do weeknights easy enough. - groiny Jul 20, 08:05 1
        
        awesome. look forward to it :) -- nm - colin Jul 20, 08:07
        
        there's public transit too. I mean, it's not like she can only walk. -- nm - fabulous squad Jul 20, 08:01
    - Could you just do a long term rental on a car when you need it? or weekend rentals if you're doing weekend trips? - spamlet Jul 20, 07:54 3
      - i could, but we do plan on driving the month of December, so it would be nice just to have something we can abuse a little and not worry about. - colin Jul 20, 07:58 2
        
        I'd at least call one of the big rental car companies and see what there rates are for a month. You might be surprised. - spamlet Jul 20, 08:09 1
        
        good point. I'll make some calls! -- nm - colin Jul 20, 08:55
I just looked outside and it's dark as night. - spamlet Jul 20, 07:37 1
- Go back to bed, silly. -- nm - Spawn Jul 20, 07:37
I can't believe that it's been 20 years since the Angels had a rainout. That is amazing and really scary. - Krusty Jul 20, 07:36
sitwap: Lefty's tee shot lands on hotel balcony. -- (link) - Diva Jul 20, 07:35 2
- He meant to do that so he could try out his new flop shot. -- nm - Baron Bing Bong Jul 20, 07:52
- mind if I play through? -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 07:36

- BTW, the sale amount varies from person to person. -- nm - Spawn Jul 20, 07:41 4
  - Huh, really? -- nm - spamlet Jul 20, 07:47 3
    - Just put WarMachien back into vacationmode. The offer was 40%. - Spawn Jul 20, 08:03 2
      - my offer was 30%. Bitches. (and I think the cost of ambrosia has gone up.) -- nm - Diva Jul 20, 08:07 1
        
        wooo hoo....I was offered 80% -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 20, 11:25
