- That's...pretty much it. (Also spoiler above) -- nm - JaxSean Aug 17, 14:15
- i don't think it's really meant to be explained as such - jangles Aug 17, 14:08 2
  - Right. It's primarily just about Scarlett Johanssen naked. - White Sox new slogan Aug 17, 14:12 1

  - they offer you the deal, but you can't turn around and sell them and make a fortune. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 17, 14:10 1
    - I understand the reason but the offer would be useless to me. -- nm - Meg Aug 17, 14:16
- What will it take to get you to come to our games? -- nm - White Sox new slogan Aug 17, 14:04 1
  - this is either brilliant, or sad. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 17, 14:04
- under $4 a game is great -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 17, 14:01 1
  - it is, I know I can't go to 22 games, but even if I went to 5, it is a bargain. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 17, 14:02

- Say goodbye to inner city tax breaks....wanna bet the first things targeted by fiscal conservatives will be - Will Hunting Aug 17, 14:11 1
  - Most don't work and/or were planned anyway. I'd love to be able to see the amounts for "blighted" areas outside of cities. -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 17, 14:30
- Superb. Hopefully it will include sports arena foolishness as well. -- nm - emoticripple Aug 17, 14:00
- thats both a great and utterly useless law. -- nm - Truman Aug 17, 13:58 2
  - It's tremendously useful from a policy standpoint. Let's have actual evidence of the effectiveness (or lack thereof) for these policies instead of the - pmb Aug 17, 14:01
  - I disagree. These breaks have flourished because the cost is hidden from taxpayers. Shining a light on it will stop these practices. - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 17, 13:59
- That's great. -- nm - pmb Aug 17, 13:51

I can see how the NYT story about Amazon would scare off potential takeover targets like Zappos and Woot. -- nm - Mop Aug 17, 13:41 4
- potential? amazon already owns woot. -- nm - Truman Aug 17, 13:43 3
  - and Zappos -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 17, 13:44 2
    - I think he means companies that might be acquired in the future, similar to how woot and zappos were. -- nm - Ender Aug 17, 13:46 1

Grading tv shows....Ballers B. It's been getting better thankfully. The Brink a strong B+...sometimes goes all over the place... - Remlik Aug 17, 13:18 2
- I'm amazed that people celebrate mediocrity like True Detective, but a show as mercurially brilliant as The Brink goes unheralded. -- nm - Imperator Aug 17, 13:21 1
  - it took The Brink a couple episodes for me to really get into it. But man...I was dying last night - Remlik Aug 17, 13:24
BTW, if you have mortgage debt over $1m, the interest isn't deductible if you're married. But if you're not married, you get to double the limit. -- (link) - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 17, 13:15 3

I just finished Sense8 yesterday and I'm not sure I can assign it a letter grade. - Baron Bing Bong Aug 17, 13:13 2
- I had a hard time rating it at first too. I think I settled on a B-/C+. It got a lot better towards the end and I'm curious to see where the next - sycor Aug 17, 13:31
- It got better as it went along. I hope a second season would realize its potential. -- nm - nubby Aug 17, 13:14
My mother said two things in almost the same breath earlier. First, she asked if I was coming for Christmas. - ty97 Aug 17, 12:58 15
- She must have recently seen A Home For Heartless Children on the Lifetime channel. -- nm - Max Aug 17, 13:54

  - totally. -- nm - Andie Aug 17, 13:03
- you finally trained mom to stop asking when you will find a nice girl & get married? -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 17, 13:01
- I love your mom. She's relentless. - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 17, 12:59 5
  - I spoke to my brother a little while later and he said - ty97 Aug 17, 13:35 4
    - This made me literally LOL. - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 17, 13:41
    - LOL!! its like she will " speak" it into being -- nm - Pippy Aug 17, 13:36 2
      - The Secret! -- nm - Andie Aug 17, 13:43
      - I guess that's the secret -- nm - Beryllium Aug 17, 13:38
Things I Did Not Know (and maybe didn't need to know), Music Edition . . . there is a 1-hour long version of the song Love Me Like You Do - call me Ishmael Aug 17, 12:52 4
- here is a nearly 20 minute Johnny B. Goode jam from Chuck Berry in the late 1960's -- (link) - Peglegpete Aug 17, 13:02 [youtube]
- I am sure David has it. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 12:54 2
  - as i think about it, it's probably a 1-hour long loop of the song . . . I didn't even want to sit through 5 minutes worth to find out . . . - call me Ishmael Aug 17, 12:56 1
    - Makes sense as I am pretty sure the song was originally about 40 seconds and they looped it for release. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 12:58
LYC: I finally finished True Detective s1. It definitely got better, but I'm not sure I get all the love for it. - sycor Aug 17, 12:47 7
- i loved S1. Not sure i'll ever watch S2. -- nm - Andie Aug 17, 13:04 3
  - Season 2 is epic hatewatching by the end -- nm - jangles Aug 17, 13:08
  - I wasn't even able to hate-watch Season 2 and I tried. -- nm - Diva Aug 17, 13:05 1
    - I thought it was odd that it didn't start to click with any real motion until episode 4 - much like the 1st season - Pippy Aug 17, 13:14
- the only thing Season 1 and Season 2 have in common is the title - and Season 2 is very skippable -- nm - decline Aug 17, 12:49 2
  - Yeah I know the cast and story are different. The only reason I'd watch it because I like the actors. But I'm not sure that's enough. -- nm - sycor Aug 17, 12:51 1
    - I watched season 2 for this reason, it was worth it to me. I need Vaughn to only do serious roles. McAdams was great. - Pippy Aug 17, 12:54
LIR - one of our insurance companies spent millions of dollars on a new automation program only to scrap it and start all over - JenBro Aug 17, 12:46 3

NFL: Rivers' $65M guaranteed is higher than Big Ben, Russell Wilson, Kaep and Cam. He also has a no trade clause. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 17, 12:45 15
- I won my fantasy league last year with mostly him as the starting QB. I have nothing but good things to say about him. Great guy -- nm - CQ Aug 17, 14:06
- Well, that's crazy for half the names you mention. - Will Hunting Aug 17, 13:23
- These people are damned fools -- nm - prayformojo Aug 17, 13:09 1
  - that is the only explanation -- nm - Pippy Aug 17, 13:15
- Wait, they just signed a 33 year old QB to a 5 year contract with a no trade clause? - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 17, 13:01 8
  - Wow...that's an amazingly shitty contract. Not the best way to make LA want you, I don't think. -- nm - Jim Aug 17, 13:14 7
    - Especially a QB that has openly stated he didn't want to live in LA. -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 17, 13:15 6
      - The Rams can move to LA, freeing up St Louis to be the new Chargers home -- nm - jangles Aug 17, 13:18 5
        
        hell - he doesn't want to move to LA, he will like St. Louis even less - Pippy Aug 17, 13:20 3
        
        St. Louis is firmly at the top of the Bible Belt. He'd much rather be here, I'd suspect. -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 17, 13:30 1
        
        Ahh...I forgot about that aspect -- nm - Pippy Aug 17, 13:37
        
        Seriously...if effing Philip Rivers ends up playing home games in St. Louis..I might spontaneously combust. - Jim Aug 17, 13:26
        
        We'll have a shiny new stadium for them! -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 17, 13:20
- *giggle* -- nm - Imperator Aug 17, 12:58 1
  - MVP!! -- nm - Beaker Aug 17, 13:01
Thanks groiny. -- nm - Remlik Aug 17, 12:45 3
- keep in mind, it is very gun dependant. Some guns will not need some of the perks. - groiny Aug 17, 12:57
- np -- nm - groiny Aug 17, 12:51
- You dropped this - Spawn Aug 17, 12:49
How tall can rollercoasters get? -- (link) - Reagen Aug 17, 12:44 1

I have a feeling that the Real Colonel Sanders is actually pixie. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 12:37 3
- They've got the same hair color. -- nm - Remlik Aug 17, 12:44 2
  - What color is your hair? -- nm - jangles Aug 17, 12:53 1
    - Mr. Clean vs Colonel Sanders Steel Cage Match! -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 12:54
Another marijuana dispensary loses a tax case on deducting business expenses. -- (edited) - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 17, 12:36 4
- They need to stop giving out the free samples, then. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 12:51
- next, claiming them as stolen inventory probably will not work -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 17, 12:50
- I give the guy an A for the effort -- nm - decline Aug 17, 12:43 1
  - Which is surprising for a dude that sells pot. -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 17, 12:50
Nepal Shader? -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 12:29 2
- if you donated through Destiny to Nepal relief, I believe you got a shirt and a shader. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 17, 12:39 1
  - Ah. Looks like they go live tomorrow. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 12:43
