according to TMZ, Miranda Lambert is the one who was cheating on Blake and that's why he filed for divorce. (sitwap) -- (link) - Diva Jul 21, 07:37 31
- right, he can cheat all he wants, but when *she* does it. (but, really, sounds like a divorce is best for all involved.) -- nm - Andie Jul 21, 07:51
- So, she cheated back, but as the woman, she gets slut-shamed. - David Jul 21, 07:44 1
  - laineygossip wrote an interesting blog post about how her fan base would probably forgive him for cheating but not her. -- nm* - Diva Jul 21, 07:47
- CDAN says they're both dirty cheating cheaters, but that thing about the animals is just cold. -- nm* - decline Jul 21, 07:43
- AM hack claims its first scalp. -- nm - ML Jul 21, 07:40

  - Every time his chair turns around now, you know what he's going to be thinking. - Mop Jul 21, 07:42
- Wha...?! But Blake assured me everything was fine! -- nm - Mop Jul 21, 07:39 1
  - well, he did not get "caught" nm -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 07:42

- Am I old? I don't know who they are. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 07:38 18
  - Unless you like country or watch The Voice, you would not know them -- nm - ty97 Jul 21, 07:40 1
    - or heard the Footloose remake. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 07:41
  - I don't think there is a stong country movement in NY. - groiny Jul 21, 07:39 7
    - Country music is huge on Long Island. -- nm - Diva Jul 21, 07:43 1
      - It is. I have cousins out there that love that crap ... err ... music. They got to just about every show they can. - Krusty Jul 21, 07:44
    - Not in NYC but outside it's pretty popular these days. I didn't watch The Voice so he doesn't register. -- (edited) - Krusty Jul 21, 07:42
    - eh, US99 has been the biggest country station in the country for decades. Most people wouldn't think that. -- nm - spamlet Jul 21, 07:42
    - There is a gay country and western bar three blocks from my apartment. -- nm - ty97 Jul 21, 07:41 2
      - CBGB's was originally a country bar that was just taken over by punks. We have a few country bars but we have a few of everything. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 07:46
      - that is just to give you an excuse for assless chaps. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 07:41
  - Okay, the welcome mat from Portland is put back out for you -- nm - Seaweed Jul 21, 07:39
  - country music folk -- nm - decline Jul 21, 07:39 6
    - Ahhh, that explains why I've never heard of them. I thought they were actors and I just hadn't seen anything they were in. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 07:40 5
      - Before this story, I honestly thought Blake Shelton was a gal. -- nm - ML Jul 21, 07:40 4
        
        I have never actually listened to his music, but I like him when I watch the Voice. - groiny Jul 21, 07:43 3
        
        Don't bother. He's squarely in the pop country mold. - spamlet Jul 21, 07:45
        
        Yeah, he's a decent singer, but he's got a lot of personality and charisma on that show. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 21, 07:44 1
        
        for sure, he is one celeb who I would totally have a beer with. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 07:45
- unless she was cheating with me, I don't care. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 07:38
John Stewart doing a Trump impression of not liking people that survive cancer rather only liking people that never get cancer is spot on. Hah!! - Seaweed Jul 21, 07:31

- One Direction, Night Changes. since yesterday afternoon when i heard part of it in a store. I should just watch the video and try to cleanse it. -- nm - Andie Jul 21, 07:35 2
  - I think that chorus is so beautiful but the rest of the song sucks ballz -- nm - Pippy the Blank Slate Jul 21, 07:42 1
    - In all seriousness, One Direction is likely the best boy band of all-time. -- nm - Shaun Jul 21, 07:45

Red-pink candy people please step to the right. Orange-yellow to the left -- nm - jangles Jul 21, 07:20 31
- can't we all just get along... and get rid of the people who prefer green candy to be apple flavour instead of lime? -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 07:29 2
  - I'm still mad at Skittles about this. -- nm - sycor Jul 21, 07:45
  - You get to live - jangles Jul 21, 07:40

      - *taking notes* mmm hmm... -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 07:33

    - I like you. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 07:27 7
      - If you agree on one thing David likes you have to agree to all of it. Congrats Star Wars hater -- nm - Seaweed Jul 21, 07:27 6
        
        I agree with David just about every time. I don't care for Star Wars and I enjoy writing multiple paragraphs to get to my point. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 07:29 5
        
        Stay away from Portland. Our motto is keep Portland Weird, NOT, keep Portland Wrong -- nm - Seaweed Jul 21, 07:33 4
        
        Haha! :-) I will ruin your city. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 07:34 3
        
        You ruined your city, we won't allow you to ruin ours -- nm* - Seaweed Jul 21, 07:34 2
        
        You said it, you dildo hanging freak! -- nm - Mop Jul 21, 07:36 1
        
        Hah! -- nm - Seaweed Jul 21, 07:37
    - I've been known to drink Grape Crush soda. That's dedication. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 21, 07:24
  - Who decided grape should be purple? I see red grapes, green grapes, and purple grapes. -- nm - Seaweed Jul 21, 07:22 8
    - To differentiate it from the red flavors like cherry and raspberry and from the green lime flavors. Purple wins because it doesn't get used by any - Krusty Jul 21, 07:24 5
      - I'll take my raspberry in the blue variant thank you. -- nm - Baron Bing Bong Jul 21, 07:25 4
        
        I do love me some blue raspberry, especially the juice for a shaved ice. Sooo good! -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 07:26 3
        
        blech, there should be no such flavor. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 07:27 2
        
        It's just raspberry colored blue, I think. It tastes like sugary goodness on ice. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 07:29 1
        
        Groiny has good taste in women but bad taste in candy -- nm - Seaweed Jul 21, 07:30

I need a new tv for my loving room. the room is long but kind of narrow -- maybe 11 or 12 feet wide. (I can measure for you later if you want.) I'm - fabulous squad Jul 21, 07:06 26
- 11 to 12 feet wide sounds about right for a TV. -- nm - Mop Jul 21, 07:37
- 60 vs 65 with those parameters is all about money. How much is that extra 5" worth and how much will it cost? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 21, 07:36
- you should get a 13" and make everbody sit really close and snuggle while they watch -- nm - decline Jul 21, 07:32
- The 60" would likely be most excellent. I'm with groiny in thinking the 65" might be a scootch too big. - Shaun Jul 21, 07:32
- how far away will the farthest person be sitting.. or where will you normally be sitting. - colin Jul 21, 07:20 1
  - closest viewing should be the width of the display, so if you'll be too close normally, don't go so big. -- nm - colin Jul 21, 07:21
- I'm going to leave this one for wiggie.... -- nm - David Jul 21, 07:17
- I think 65 might be pushing it a bit, IMO. -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 07:12 4
  - do you guys want me to measure to be exact? I mean, it's just a question of finding a tape measure... -- nm - fabulous squad Jul 21, 07:13 2
    - keep in mind, you are not going to be flush against the opposite wall watching. - groiny Jul 21, 07:15 1
      - Right, cut off about 2' total from the width to be safe and then figure out the TV size. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 07:31
  - Go Big Or Go Home. 80"--bare minimum. -- nm - ML Jul 21, 07:13
- more info: your average 60" tv is about 54" wide and a 65 is 58ish inches. also, the only reason I am considering 65 - fabulous squad Jul 21, 07:12 1
  - nevermind the huge dork when watching porn. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 07:13
- it's awesome you have a loving room -- nm - decline Jul 21, 07:11 1
  - ~~Loving you is easy 'cause you're beautiful.~~ -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 07:22
- You have a room just for loving? Your house is most excellent! -- nm - TWuG Jul 21, 07:08 1
  - swings and rings -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 07:10
- How far away from the TV do you plan on sitting? -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 07:07 5
  - couch on opposite wall from TV, so the entire width of the room. -- nm - fabulous squad Jul 21, 07:10 2
    - Here are recommended distances based on the size of your TV. - Krusty Jul 21, 07:11 1
      - I'd go as big as possible based on how far I was going to be sitting from the TV. After that you just have to decide on a model. - Krusty Jul 21, 07:12
  - For 60" and above you want to be at least 7' or more from the TV. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 07:09
  - Yeah, this is the main issue. You don't want to see individual pixels. -- nm - spamlet Jul 21, 07:08
- How long is the room? -- nm - sycor Jul 21, 07:07 1
  - it's curiously long (16 feet?) and looks even longer because of a sort of "breakfast nook" that's connected to it. -- nm - fabulous squad Jul 21, 07:09
Officially add Kasich to the GOP clown car. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 21, 07:06
NYT estimates who would/would not make first GOP debate cut based on polls to date -- (link) - ty97 Jul 21, 07:05 26
- I bet Kasich takes out Perry before the first debate. -- nm - spamlet Jul 21, 07:29 3
  - I'd bet on Christie not making the cut over Perry. - ML Jul 21, 07:31
  - like, through the ropes? -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 07:31 1
    - Whatever it takes, man. -- nm - spamlet Jul 21, 07:41
- Graham's flight attendant girlfriend must be devastated. -- nm - David Jul 21, 07:17
- I cannot wait for this debate. -- nm - MDH Jul 21, 07:07 20
  - You actually plan to watch?! -- nm - ty97 Jul 21, 07:08 19
    - This may be the highest rated debate ever. -- nm - Mop Jul 21, 07:33
    - A glorious car crash in slow motion, with hopefully a few (figurative) fatalities to boot. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 21, 07:20
    - it's like watching NASCAR for the crashes -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 07:19
    - Not watch, but plenty of people are going to be entertained by the candidates trying to differentiate themselves/ -- nm - Roger More Jul 21, 07:15
    - These will be, by far, the most entertaining debates this cycle. -- nm - ML Jul 21, 07:12 9
      - Watching the <5% crowd try to one-up Trump will be amusing. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 21, 07:26
      - I have no reason to doubt that, though that's not really (supposed to be) the point of a debate. -- nm - ty97 Jul 21, 07:15 7
        
        It's the only reason to watch them. -- nm - ML Jul 21, 07:19 3
        
        For someone like me who would never vote for one of these guys, sure. If I were a GOP voter, I'd want substance to help me decide. -- nm* - ty97 Jul 21, 07:19 2
        
        If I were a GOP voter, the debates would be the *last* place I'd look to help me decide. - ML Jul 21, 07:21 1
        
        Right, but that shouldn't be how it is. -- nm - ty97 Jul 21, 07:23
        
        But it's why people watch them. (We should chart your growing disillusionment with the political process over the next 16 months)) -- nm - Roger More Jul 21, 07:17 2
        
        growing? My disillusionment has been an angsty teenager for some years now. -- nm - ty97 Jul 21, 07:20 1
        
        Says the guy who wants the debate to focus on the issues! -- nm - Roger More Jul 21, 07:28
    - this may be the 1st debate I watch - decline Jul 21, 07:10 1
      - seriously. I may get cable for a few months for this. -- nm - fabulous squad Jul 21, 07:14
    - OMG are you kidding me. It's going to be incredible. Trump/Carson will bring the insanity. -- nm - MDH Jul 21, 07:10 2
      - I think I'll wait for the highlights. I can't listen to all that crazy and idiocy. I'd be angry and depressed by the end of it. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 07:14 1
        
        yup. Unless it's on a weekend, then maybe have a party and turn it into a drinking game! -- nm - ty97 Jul 21, 07:16
Kanas City votes to raise minimum wage to $13/hr, except for 15-17 year olds -- (link) - ty97 Jul 21, 07:01 3
- All these old people making laws are in for a rude awakening once they retire and all the kids realize how much they've been screwed -- nm - decline Jul 21, 07:32
- Age-ist! -- nm - Strongbad Jul 21, 07:26
- This is related to the link I posted last week. Missouri cities have until August 28th to enact these laws but they might not have the authority. -- nm - spamlet Jul 21, 07:10
"A Lufthansa plane with 108 passengers on board nearly collided with a drone as it approached Warsaw" -- (link) - ty97 Jul 21, 07:00 7
- I assume the drone would be smashed to bits and the plane would be largely unaffected. -- nm - Mop Jul 21, 07:35
- no no. the best was the video today of a drone hovering and firing a hand gun. -- nm - Jovian Jul 21, 07:10
- 330 ft? I know it's "close" but c'mon. By that measuring I nearly collided with a plane a few seconds ago when one flew overhead -- nm - oblique Jul 21, 07:02 3
  - Please direct your comments to the FAA - ML Jul 21, 07:06
  - With how fast planes move, 330 ft is nothing. - ty97 Jul 21, 07:04 1
    - (quick google tells me average descent rate is 2000-3000 feet per minute though could be even higher in some cases) -- nm - ty97 Jul 21, 07:08
