- The entire SEC West is ranked now. That's a little silly. - Volnelk Sep 8, 12:13 2
  - That'll clear up once intraconference play starts -- nm - ty97 Sep 8, 12:15 1

Canadian Politics: if the best you can do in your commercial is get someone to say you aren't perfect...maybe not do that? -- (link*) - Beaker Sep 8, 11:58 2

Doctor Who S2 E26-29 I have absolutely no clue why there are 3 rebels randomly running around this space museum, or why the staff only cares about capturing the TARDIS crew... -- nm - Ender Sep 8, 11:56

for the girls and the boys who like boys... Lainey poses the question today "who would you rather? Leo or Johnny Depp." -- nm - Andie Sep 8, 11:38 54
- Leo. I like guys that look like they shower more than twice a year. -- nm - kelly Sep 8, 12:02
- Leo when he's not looking homeless -- nm - ty97 Sep 8, 12:01 12
  - Leo is like the friend in your group of friends that you would avoid as you just cannot trust him. -- nm - Spawn Sep 8, 12:02 9
    - I'm looking to fuck him not do business. I hope he lies to me and tells me I'm the best ever. -- nm - ty97 Sep 8, 12:05 8
      - wait, is that the only thing we're meant to be thinking of as the goal? - b. Sep 8, 12:09 7
        
        one night only. -- nm - Andie Sep 8, 12:11 3

        *laugh* ok, maybe excepting that qualifier. - b. Sep 8, 12:13 1
        
        gurl, you better get that money... -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 12:16
        
        Yeah I agree with your last line about Leo - he's next in line to inherit the Jack Nicolas title -- nm - Pippy with a bustle Sep 8, 12:10 2
        
        nicholson! (hee.) :) - -- nm - b. Sep 8, 12:11 1

  - he finally shaved that nasty-arsed beard at least. -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 12:01 1
    - Thank goodness! -- nm - ty97 Sep 8, 12:02
- can I abstain? -- nm - fabulous squad Sep 8, 11:51 4
  - Only if you do so courteously. -- nm - We Bare Barons Sep 8, 11:55 1
    - nice. - znufrii Sep 8, 11:59
  - NO! - jangles Sep 8, 11:52 1
    - I ... have a meeting gottago -- nm - fabulous squad Sep 8, 11:53
- If and only if I can locate him under a mountain of scarves, roadside artisan jewelry and clammy greasepaint, Depp I guess. - Diva Sep 8, 11:45 1
  - And he's going to have to take a friggin Silkwood Shower first. -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 12:06
- Johnny - Pippy with a bustle Sep 8, 11:43 20
  - Id say the opposite to your IM -- nm - budice Sep 8, 11:44 19
    - maybe in the past, but Depp is pretty much a one trick pony unless his newest role is different, but then he will be compared to Jack in The Departed - Beaker Sep 8, 11:49 3
      - what about The Tourist (why does everyone forget about that?). -- nm - Truman Sep 8, 12:00 1
        
        I liked that movie. I understood what they were trying to do with it. - Pippy with a bustle Sep 8, 12:09
      - The reviews out of Venice were pretty glowing -- nm - jangles Sep 8, 11:58
    - really? I'd like to have this discussion. - Pippy with a bustle Sep 8, 11:45 14
      - i think Leo is the better actor. Johnny is a good actor, but Leo is great, when he's on. -- nm - Andie Sep 8, 11:47 13
        
        I think Leo has worked with better Directors, but Depp is the better actor -- nm - budice Sep 8, 11:49 10
        
        I feel like Depp's just been doing variations on one character for about a decade now. -- nm - Ender Sep 8, 11:52 9
        
        john dillinger, sweeney todd, tonto, barnabas collins, and the wolf. sure, nothing different there. -- nm - b. Sep 8, 11:55 8
        
        the tourist. -- nm - Truman Sep 8, 12:07 4
        
        I haven't seen that. -- nm - b. Sep 8, 12:10 3
        
        The Golden Globe-nominated Tourist is probably the most shameless example of their starf**king in recent years - Will Hunting Sep 8, 12:13 2
        
        I liked that movie. I don't understand why critics assaulted it so hyperbolically. -- nm - David Sep 8, 12:14 1
        
        Just making sure, we are talking The Tourist and not the Madonna movie, right? - Will Hunting Sep 8, 12:15
        
        Dillinger may be the only real outlier there, the rest are some variation on his Jack Sparrow persona. -- nm - Ender Sep 8, 11:58 2
        
        yup, throw in Mad Hatter, Chocolate Factory and Rango for good measure -- nm - Beaker Sep 8, 12:00 1
        
        all of the above are not all the same, though. I don't think he's given enough credit. -- nm - b. Sep 8, 12:05
        
        I just watched J. Edgar, which really is not good - but the scene where he puts on Judi Dench's dress was great. ooh, was that a spoiler? -- nm* - Diva Sep 8, 11:48 1
        
        *giggling* -- nm - Pippy with a bustle Sep 8, 11:53
- johnny. -- nm - b. Sep 8, 11:43
- I like girls but Leo on personal hygiene reasons alone - jangles Sep 8, 11:43 7
  - I had no idea about this -- nm - ty97 Sep 8, 12:03 2
    - Eh, it was his Jim Morrison phase. -- nm - Spawn Sep 8, 12:04 1
      - It's been a long phase -- (link) - jangles Sep 8, 12:10
  - Same -- nm - Ender Sep 8, 11:45

speaking of ceos, this is such a nice story. retired kaiser aluminum ceo has volunteered for 18 years, holding itty bitty babies. nm but: -- (link) - b. Sep 8, 11:36
The Civil War 25th Anniversary ed., Ep 1: A - con_carne Sep 8, 11:32 21
- I was crying by the end of the intro and...the ending with that letter is in the discussion for best thing ever done in TV. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 8, 12:25
- I watched Texas Rising so ya'll didn't have to - skip it. And someone yank Chad Michael Murray's SAG card stat - Pippy with a bustle Sep 8, 11:44 11
  - Brendan Frasier was laughably, horrible in that -- nm - Beaker Sep 8, 11:48 7
    - also - I sort of loved it for the history of Texas but I did see " holy shite, Texans have been stupid for years!" spoils - I guess - Pippy with a bustle Sep 8, 11:52
    - holy shit, talk about a weak link - he was the whole damn chain - horrible casting -- nm - Pippy with a bustle Sep 8, 11:50 5
      - they were all pretty bad (and I like alot of the actors that were in it) Jeffrey Dean Morgan needs to return to Supernatural already -- nm - Beaker Sep 8, 11:53 4
        
        agreed. It was horrible writing and it suffered over all - but I got a lot out of it. Oliver Martinez had fun with Santa Anna. -- nm - Pippy with a bustle Sep 8, 11:55 3
        
        I sorta want to hate-watch this now. -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 12:08 2
        
        I think my love of Bill Paxton pulled me through. Try a few episodes. Its basically an upper level Lifetime movie with violence - Pippy with a bustle Sep 8, 12:16 1
        
        this is just sounding better and better... -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 12:20
  - re IM: L3 and ha! -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 11:47
  - He was passable on Agent Carter. -- nm - Inigo Sep 8, 11:47 1
    - yah, he was fine there. -- nm - b. Sep 8, 11:48
- There is a cool moment in Wm. Faulkner's UVa lecture tapes where he mentions Shelby Foote as a rising author of promise - jangles Sep 8, 11:41
- yep - loved it. - Diva Sep 8, 11:39
- Damn. Has it begun to broadcast? -- nm - Mop Sep 8, 11:35 4
  - Psst. It's been streaming on Netflix for a while now. -- (link) - ML Sep 8, 11:47
  - On most PBS stations, yep. Ep 2 airs next Monday -- nm - con_carne Sep 8, 11:38 2
    - our main PBS station WGBH is airing them all week long. Ep 2 is tonight. Eps 3&4 are on this Wednesday. -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 11:40 1
      - Thanks, looks like ep 2 is tonight for me as well! -- nm - con_carne Sep 8, 12:13
- My money is on Cap. - Spawn Sep 8, 11:34
ample seating still available for Mayweather's fight this weekend -- (link) - Beaker Sep 8, 11:30 5
- I had no idea he was even fighting until I saw something about it yesterday. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 8, 12:26
- I gurantee this isn't his last fight. -- nm - Remlik Sep 8, 11:55 1
  - I would love to see him fight GGG. -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 11:59
- the PPV sales so far are reportedly "busted". -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 11:31 1
  - Im sure he needs the money. -- nm - budice Sep 8, 11:36

- Buncha kooks! Don't listen to those climate deniers!! -- nm - Farmer's Almanac Sep 8, 11:26
- *flex* edit: here's what '97-98 looked like (the last major El Nino event) -- (link*) - El Nino Sep 8, 11:25 1
  - yah, it depends on which factors are being considered. -- nm - b. Sep 8, 11:27
Ravens have signed the crazy socks CB from Hard Knocks, Charles James -- nm - jangles Sep 8, 11:24
"a heat advisory means that a period of hot temperatures is expected.." -- nm - b. Sep 8, 11:23 3

  - right? alert the media! -- nm - b. Sep 8, 11:25
sign outside Grayson, KY Detention : two roosters /= a hen , two hens /= a rooster -- nm - mud Sep 8, 11:18 10
- that is true. also true - most people have one rooster for many many hens. are they advocating polygamy? -- nm - Andie Sep 8, 11:19 9
  - This week on 'Sister Hens'... -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 11:26 6
    - *snort* - Pippy with a bustle Sep 8, 11:46 1
      - You are cracking me up too! -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 11:50
    - Cindy is feeling plucky when Marnie cluck-clucks her party plans -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 11:29 3
      - and Cody the Rooster is very distracted when the Barnyard Bantam Cheerleaders stay nearby -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 11:31 2
        
        you are delightful. -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 11:49
        
        my my, the imagination with this bery guy. -- nm - mud Sep 8, 11:33
  - That's Biblical marriage right there. -- nm - mara Sep 8, 11:20 1
    - i would like to see a guy and about 5 women walk in and ask for a license. -- nm - Andie Sep 8, 11:21
According to Billboard, Felix Jaehn’s remix of OMI’s “Cheerleader” is the official Song of the Summer -- (link) - Beaker Sep 8, 11:17 1
- I think Bad Blood is the only one in the top 5 I have heard -- nm - Beaker Sep 8, 11:17
"Incomplete Year 1 Exotic Bounties are auto-completed at their respective Vendors" - David Sep 8, 11:14 38
- I read that as Erotic Bounties -- nm - Dano Sep 8, 12:05 1
  - Erotic Bunnies -- nm - Beaker Sep 8, 12:06
- I was trying to complete that Toland's Legacy bounty (for the Bad Juju gun?) on my own, but I got to the point where I needed 10,000 crucible points. - JaxSean Sep 8, 11:29 6
  - FWIW, 10k points isn't 10k kills. I think it works out to about a few hundred. - David Sep 8, 11:34 5
    - Each class is weighted differently too. I think warlocks count for 75 points whereas hunters/titans are 25. -- nm - Shaun Sep 8, 11:41
    - Yeah, 10k points is one of the Iron Banner bounties each day IIRC. -- nm - Spawn Sep 8, 11:35 3
      - if you are god awful, you could get it in 7 matches. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 8, 11:36 2
        
        So it would have taken me lik 20. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 8, 11:42 1
        
        no, it would have taken you 7, maybe less if you played within your limits. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 8, 11:59
- The Queenbreaker's Bow is now mine! Heh, I was never getting that done otherwise. -- nm - Shaun Sep 8, 11:17 27
  - ? Why wouldn't you get it done? All it took was running PoE. -- nm - Spawn Sep 8, 11:31 24
    - PoE is boring as shit. -- nm - Shaun Sep 8, 11:38 23
      - That is beyond DLC> PoE is by far the best game type they have come up with. -- nm - Spawn Sep 8, 11:39 21
        
        Sure if you hate Crucible. -- nm - Shaun Sep 8, 11:41 20
        
        Everyone should. It's a horribly flawed game type. -- nm - David Sep 8, 11:44 15
        
        Why? -- nm - Shaun Sep 8, 11:44 14
        
        I suspect it's because when Bungie and 343 split, the best people wound up at two separate companies. - David Sep 8, 11:46 13
        
        Ideally everyone would have green bars for connectivity, but that doesn't mean that the game type is flawed. - Shaun Sep 8, 11:50 12
        
        Ideally, rampant cheating wouldn't be possible. When it happened on Halo, there were consequences. - David Sep 8, 11:52 9
        
        as the games evolve, and there is more and more content, there are more and more issues. - groiny Sep 8, 11:56 3
        
        Master Chief Collection is the pinnacle of online multiplayer. -- nm - Shaun Sep 8, 11:58 2
        
        for sure, that shoud tell you all you need to know. Onling gaming overall has some serious issues. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 8, 11:58 1
        
        Like when Bungie had to patch in a fix for the fireteam leader disconnecting his webz when Crota started to kneel and he wouldn't get back up. - Shaun Sep 8, 12:02
        
        I am waiting for Bungie to start selling lag-switches. Seems like they are missing out on a lot of $ there. -- nm - Spawn Sep 8, 11:55 3
        
        I still don't get why people do this shit. How bored must they be? -- nm - Shaun Sep 8, 11:57 2
        
        well, for shit like Trials and Iron Banner, it is a big advantage for winning games. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 8, 11:58 1
        
        I get that, but why bother? Also I'm done with Trials professionally. -- nm* - Shaun Sep 8, 12:00
        
        People have been banned for cheating in pvp. -- nm - Shaun Sep 8, 11:55
        
        Really? I have never been booted from PoE. - Spawn Sep 8, 11:51 1
        
        You can google it if you like. -- nm - Shaun Sep 8, 11:56
        
        Nerfing Thorn may help. -- nm - Spawn Sep 8, 11:42 3
        
        Even as an avid Thorn user, I'm glad it's getting nerfed. Not as glad as the shotgun nerf, but close. -- nm - Shaun Sep 8, 11:43 2
        
        I look forward to the knee sliders shiotgunning me and still getting killed. -- nm - Spawn Sep 8, 11:48 1
        
        It's happened to me a lot less after I realized that people can't shotgun me nearly as much if I play my style of game. - Shaun Sep 8, 11:51
      - It's probably my favorite game type. -- nm - David Sep 8, 11:39
  - meh, I have all 3 queens bounty guns, I don't even care to level up the sidearm -- nm - groiny Sep 8, 11:19 1
    - Why would you ever use an exotic sidearm with crap stats? -- nm - Shaun Sep 8, 11:21
- yeah, I kinda wish I did not discard the 2 others I had sitting there. - groiny Sep 8, 11:15
[deleted]
The additional tripmine grenade for Gunslingers who use the Spine gauntlets is marvelous. -- nm - Shaun Sep 8, 11:11 1
- yup, I love the tripmine grenade. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 8, 11:12
