"Talking nonsense about economic crises is essentially a job requirement for anyone hoping to get the Republican presidential nomination." -- (link) - znufrii Aug 28, 10:49 2
- Remove "about the economic crises" and that's the GOP field on most subjects. -- nm - TWuG Aug 28, 10:50 1
  - Fair point. -- nm - znufrii Aug 28, 10:53

- JD and the Baron are up -- nm - jack foley Aug 28, 10:44 3
  - Shoot, that's who I wanted to move up to grab. When I took Mason, I regretted it because he had a better chance of making it to 5-8. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 28, 11:03
  - Baron, Samara, Krusty -- nm - JD Aug 28, 10:52 1

- Now - what is the craft in the background of the lower picture? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 28, 10:44 2
  - Slave I. nm - Dignan Aug 28, 10:48 1
    - So, Patton Oswalt co-wrote the movie? - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 28, 10:53
- who's the other chick? -- nm - groiny Aug 28, 10:39 12
  - spoils - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 28, 10:42
  - Emily Vancamp - whatever her agent name is. -- nm - Inigo Aug 28, 10:40
  - Spoils - TWuG Aug 28, 10:39
  - scarlet witch, I think -- nm - Beryllium Aug 28, 10:39 8
    - Kinda looks like Mockingbird. Is she in the movie? -- nm - Ender Aug 28, 10:40 7
      - That was my thought, but she's not listed for the film. -- nm - Imperator Aug 28, 10:42
      - There is a chance, for sure, but I think they would've gone with SW. The blonde hair is odd, though. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 28, 10:41
      - Agent 13 maybe? -- nm - Ender Aug 28, 10:40 4
        
        It's definitely this. I didn't realize she was another related agent Carter. -- nm - Inigo Aug 28, 10:43 1
        
        Granddaughter IIRC. She's Captain America's girlfriend in the comics. -- nm - Imperator Aug 28, 10:44
        
        Yeah, that's probably right. -- nm - Imperator Aug 28, 10:43
        
        that is who I think it is. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 28, 10:41
- Is Banner not involved in this? -- nm - Jim Aug 28, 10:33 9
  - Banner and Stark are buddies. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 28, 10:36
  - I presume that he doesn't want to take sides but eventually has no choice. -- nm - Imperator Aug 28, 10:35
  - there's no Thor, either. Nor spiderman. So ..... -- nm - Beryllium Aug 28, 10:35 5
    - No Ant-Man either, and we know he's in this prominently. -- nm - Inigo Aug 28, 10:36 4
      - Actually, he's standing on Hawkeye's shoulder -- nm - Beryllium Aug 28, 10:37 2
        
        Oh, wow. He is! Okay, it's now the Patriots vs. a Division 2 college team. -- nm - Inigo Aug 28, 10:39
        
        Whoa...he is! -- nm - Jim Aug 28, 10:39
      - .... it's a pretty low-res picture. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 28, 10:37
  - Or Thor? -- nm - Jim Aug 28, 10:35
- I...think I'm going to bet on Red. -- nm - Max Aug 28, 10:29 4
  - Yeah, it's not even close. It's like the Patriots playing the team from Friday Night Lights. -- nm - Inigo Aug 28, 10:34 3
    - Except a strong enough EMP takes out 3/5 of the other team. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 28, 10:40 2
      - 2, right? IM and WM need electronics. Vision, Black Panther and Black Widow do not, iirc. -- nm - Inigo Aug 28, 10:48 1
        
        I was assuming Vision. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 28, 11:01
- Black Widow and Hawkeye on opposite sides. -- nm - Imperator Aug 28, 10:28 17
  - And you would think that it be reversed too -- nm - eag Aug 28, 10:30 16
    - Hawkeye? No way. A:UoU spoiler - Spawn Aug 28, 10:54 1
      - True - eag Aug 28, 11:04
    - Well, I don't think BW would support registration, but I also don't think Hawkeye would ... -- (edited) - Beryllium Aug 28, 10:33 13
      - I disagree with BW. Caps 2 spoils - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 28, 10:47 4
        
        Yep. The two sides are :Powers are dangerous and should be regulated/ overseen. And You can't round people up just because they have powers - TWuG Aug 28, 10:50 3
        
        Since it's Marvel, did X-Men ever factor into Civil War at all? - Inigo Aug 28, 10:51 2
        
        Wolverine had some parts in the side stories, but the rest of the X-Men were given tripe, IIRC. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 10:58
        
        Probably. It was ages ago that I read Civil War and I didn't much care for it. -- nm - TWuG Aug 28, 10:54
      - (I'm assuming that Blue/Captain America is the against-registration bunch) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 28, 10:36 7
        
        Cap2 very much set Cap up as being anti-reg with his discussion with Fury about the new hellicarriers and their mission. -- nm - TWuG Aug 28, 10:38 6
        
        That's what I was thinking, yeah -- nm - Beryllium Aug 28, 10:38 5
        
        Include in that the log chopping scene from A:AoU. Cap definitely has issues with that level of control. -- nm - TWuG Aug 28, 10:42 4
        
        IIRC, spider-man is on the pro-reg side, right? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 28, 10:42 3
        
        In the comics, yes, and he reveals his identity in support of the pro-reg side. - TWuG Aug 28, 10:48 1
        
        With your post being one of the hugest spoilers in comics ever. -- nm - Shaun Aug 28, 11:01
        
        with great power comes great responsibility -- nm - Strongbad Aug 28, 10:43

- I don't know what these things are. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 28, 10:24 1
  - You're probably better that way. -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 28, 10:28
Be nice to big rigs, watch out for U-hauls and CruiseAmerica RVs - and McD's have the best restrooms :) -- nm - Meg Aug 28, 10:22 3
- Yeah, watch out for any rentals. Often the drivers are inexperienced and anxious. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 28, 10:25 1
  - And big rigs are usually fine, but don't cut them off - they keep a lot of distance for a reason, it's not to let cars go in front of them ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 28, 10:25
- for Roo below :) -- nm - Meg Aug 28, 10:23
Sorry for the delay. Picking now. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 28, 10:19 1

    - call me every hour! so I know where to start the search grid if needed - Pippy Aug 28, 10:14
    - You'll enjoy at least the first 35 of them -- nm - jangles Aug 28, 10:08 4
      - it will take her forever, she drives like a grandmother - Pippy Aug 28, 10:14 3
        
        I resemble that remark :) -- nm - Meg Aug 28, 10:29 2
        
        *bangs my knees against the seat again* -- nm - groiny Aug 28, 10:30 1
        
        What was she doing to you in the back seat, exactly? -- nm - jangles Aug 28, 10:51
Wow. I thought the RNC was *way* closer than July 2016 -- nm - Beryllium Aug 28, 09:54 5
- They thought it was a good idea to go earlier and first this cycle - jangles Aug 28, 09:57 1
  - This is why I keep talking about my silly Trump/Romney conspiracy theory -- nm - Beryllium Aug 28, 09:58
- We could theoretically have two elections in that time period. -- nm - Reagen Aug 28, 09:55 2
  - Yeah, I think that would be possible. What's the closest it's been, federally? I think in BC we had a really close one a while back. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 28, 09:57 1
    - Not sure it's been the quickest, but the Clark gov't was elected spring of '79 and lost by Christmas. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 28, 10:25

  - Maybe, but the problem they have is that non die hards have started to tune them out - Reagen Aug 28, 09:54
  - Those last couple of graphs are brutal though. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 28, 09:52
Viking treasure horde found in Wales -- (link) - Peglegpete Aug 28, 09:46 3
