- I saw that. I bet he'll be wished well in his future endeavors. -- nm - Remlik Nov 18, 16:30
Also: WTF Canada? Getting a passport is *INSANE*. -- nm - Mop Nov 18, 16:23 7
- I got a ten year one for this reason - but the process of getting the ten year one was a lot less involved than getting my first one. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 16:27
- Really? I've never had trouble. I even got my last one in Australia. -- nm - mafic Nov 18, 16:24 5
  - 2 references and a guarantor! Wait, do I not need a guarantor outside of Canada? -- nm - Mop Nov 18, 16:27 4
    - Oh! It's because my old one's been expired more than 1 year. I need a guarantor. That condition is *insane*. Americans, ask me what a guarantor is. -- nm - Mop Nov 18, 16:29 2
      - Canadian Jack Dawson -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 16:35
      - Someone who will take thirty lashes if you pee in an English cab? -- nm - Emoticripple Nov 18, 16:31
    - But mafic is a social butterfly. I understand your suffering. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 16:28
I called my mom up to ask about some stuff I had to fill out (online, no less!) for registering to vote in Spain. That devolved quickly. - Mop Nov 18, 16:21 11
- I get to choose what province and city I vote in. Catalan independence is going down! -- nm - Mop Nov 18, 16:33
- just curious...why would you vote in Spain? aren't you canadian? -- nm - Remlik Nov 18, 16:30 4
  - I collect citizenships like I collect Funko Pops. I can - but never have - vote in E.U. elections, too. -- nm - Mop Nov 18, 16:31 3
    - Just how many times have you been resettled in the witness protection program? -- nm* - eag Nov 18, 16:36
    - I hope you aren't getting effed by tax laws. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 16:36
    - huh. I bet your passport is interesting. -- nm - Remlik Nov 18, 16:35
- do I now have to find gorgeous Spanish actresses for you to date? -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 18, 16:25 2
  - Charro is still alive -- nm - eag Nov 18, 16:31
  - Blah. -- nm - Mop Nov 18, 16:28
- Well... who should you vote for? -- nm - mafic Nov 18, 16:23 1
  - The socialists, apparently. As aggravating as my parents may be, they're insanely liberal. -- nm - Mop Nov 18, 16:24
the ass kissing line starts here. -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 16:04 2
- I wouldn't kiss your ass with Max's lips -- nm - sweet baboo Nov 18, 16:05 1

- and arrieta wins nl's. nm but: -- (link) - b. Nov 18, 15:56 13
  - What a bunch of BS! -- nm - eag Nov 18, 16:05
  - Glad to see that. Best group of finalists I can remember. -- nm - pmb Nov 18, 16:05 9
    - Three guys had unbelievable seasons. I almost wish they could give Greinke, Kershaw and Arrieta the award. - Krusty Nov 18, 16:13 8
      - If they had to pick one I think they made the right choice, but I would have no objection to the award being shared. They all deserved it. -- nm - pmb Nov 18, 16:18 3
        
        The more I look at the more I think there's no way to say one had a better year than the other. They were equally great with nothing to separate them. -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 16:30 2
        
        not true at all. look at the divisions. -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 16:34 1
        
        That might be what tipped it in his favor but if it has to come to that then I'd have them share it. -- (edited) - Krusty Nov 18, 16:42
      - and Max Scherzer threw two no hitters and wasn't even in the conversation. - Tim Nov 18, 16:16 3
        
        He had some good games but not the great season of the other guys. Two guys had an ERA under 2.00 and Greinke never above 1.90. - Krusty Nov 18, 16:29
        
        and who do we blame for that, Tim? Who do we blame for that?!?!?? -- nm - prayformojo Nov 18, 16:23 1
        
        some jughead? -- nm - Tim Nov 18, 16:31
  - Eff that guy -- nm - sweet baboo Nov 18, 16:04
  - I would have chosen Greinke but I have no problem with Arrieta winning the award. -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 16:03
How the H do you do a search in Netflix on Tivo?!?!@? -- nm - prayformojo Nov 18, 15:41 4
- Push the up button until you're at the top. When you start the app, it's two pushes of the up button away. -- nm - David Nov 18, 15:44 3
  - Thanks. That such a weirdly counter intuitive choice they made -- nm - prayformojo Nov 18, 15:45 2
    - You're not wrong. -- nm - Mop Nov 18, 16:22
    - seriously....it feels like they are intentionally hiding the search, and going out of their way to make the app less user-friendly -- nm - prayformojo Nov 18, 16:12

- Go home! -- nm - Bacon Nov 18, 15:41
*phew* -- nm - znufrii needs a job Nov 18, 15:36
Today in "yay/aww" - Reagen Nov 18, 15:35 1
- aw, sorry. :/ -- nm - b. Nov 18, 15:41
Man, when Agents of Shield is on, it's otherworldly. -- nm - David Nov 18, 15:31 25
- mmmm....Agent Bobbi. -- nm - Remlik Nov 18, 15:39 5
  - Im so glad when they can get Hunter involved in the episode - eag Nov 18, 16:07 2
    - I was highly amused when (spoils) - Beryllium Nov 18, 16:09 1
      - I was cracking up(spoils) - eag Nov 18, 16:12
  - I still want to kick Stu's ass. -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 15:41 1
    - he's a mess for so many reason. -- nm - Remlik Nov 18, 16:12
- is Whedon involved in this at all (anymore? was he ever?) -- nm - prayformojo Nov 18, 15:37 18
  - He was just picked up by the Houston Texans. Oh wait... -- nm - Bacon Nov 18, 15:42
  - In the spring he came out and said AoS is not in the MCU. Largely due to Coulson, which he disagreed with being resurrected. - Spawn Nov 18, 15:41 8
    - Last night's episode made it clear this isn't true. It actually answered a question from Avengers. -- nm - David Nov 18, 15:43 7
      - Did it now? Hmm. I must have missed that. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 15:44 3
        
        Spoilers - David Nov 18, 15:47 2
        
        I always raised an eyebrow at those people - Reagen Nov 18, 16:08
        
        Oh! OK, gotcha. (spoils) - Beryllium Nov 18, 15:51
      - Oh, totally agreed. He was just pissy that he killed the guy and then the tv division brought him back. -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 15:44 2
        
        It sounds like the guy running the TV division is worse than Ben Carson. -- nm - David Nov 18, 15:45 1
        
        Agreed. BUt I have zero doubt the show without Clark Gregg would have never made it. -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 15:46
  - His brother runs the show and actually wrote last night's episode. - David Nov 18, 15:39 7
    - plus his "band of scrappy misfits" fingerprints are all over it. -- nm - Reagen Nov 18, 15:41 6
      - Not to mention perennially doomed lovers. -- nm - David Nov 18, 15:44 5
        
        ok, I'll catch up on it next. -- nm - b. Nov 18, 15:47 3
        
        It is one of only three shows I stay current on. -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 15:48
        
        We're in the same boat. We only caught up today. - David Nov 18, 15:48 1
        
        unfortunately, with talk like is on this board, I need to watch soon. -- nm - b. Nov 18, 15:49
        
        they just need (spoils) - Beryllium Nov 18, 15:45
from bb, why would isis/daesh show the soda can bomb? bragging/gotcha more important than possible future use? -- nm - b. Nov 18, 15:27 23
- No more soda cans on planes. -- nm - Mop Nov 18, 16:23 1
  - We already have a 3 Oz limit -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 18, 16:30
- They want to terrorize. This will scare some people from flying. As effective as bringing down another plane. -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 15:43
- I'm just going to leave this here with no specific comment. -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 18, 15:36 [youtube]
- This is all we need to cause mayhem. Be warned. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 18, 15:34 4
  - yah, that's always in the mix for them, eh? as I said the other day re: trying to get into the stadium - even that showed how close they could get to - b. Nov 18, 15:44
  - ....like me -- nm - dean winters Nov 18, 15:40
  - They should have claimed to have used a fake penis. That future screening procedure would have not been fun. - Bacon Nov 18, 15:37
  - The tylenol scare illustrated that rather effectively. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 15:35
- If Jack can't have a whiskey and Coke on a flight, the terrorists have truly won. -- nm - Emoticripple Nov 18, 15:28 7
  - crystal pepsi could make a comeback and have other sodas follow. hmm, dr. brown's return timing is now suspicious? -- nm - b. Nov 18, 15:31 6
    - Snapple had a clear root beer that was pretty damn good. I'd love for that to make a comeback. -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 15:56
    - not dr. brown's - what's the one I'm thinking of? -- nm - b. Nov 18, 15:31 4
      - Well, crystal pepsi, perhaps? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 15:34 3
        
        heh, no, I mentioned that above. like dr. brown's that recently came back to market. new york seltzer! -- nm - b. Nov 18, 15:37 2
        
        But I mean, I am pretty sure pepsi already announced a Crystal comeback -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 15:38 1
        
        oh yah? even more for the conspiracy theory then. -- nm - b. Nov 18, 15:39
- My speculation. They know that science is going to figure it out, and they want to claim it before that happens to help verify it was them. -- nm - Bacon Nov 18, 15:28 5
  - does anyone not think it was them? -- nm - b. Nov 18, 15:29 4
    - I am sure there are some that think it was probably Israel trying to get Russia mad at Muslims or some shit like that. - Bacon Nov 18, 15:33 3
      - oh, that reminds me - I had missed this the other day. russia saying they thwarted a possible bombing before sochi - it was explosives in hand cream. -- (link) - b. Nov 18, 15:38 2
        
        this is why they need puff of air explosive detectors and not body scanners. -- nm - Bacon Nov 18, 15:40 1
        
        both are needed; and toss in a way higher rate of cargo container inspection, too. - b. Nov 18, 15:42

450 Illegal Tamales From Mexico Destroyed After Being Seized at LAX -- (link) - budice Nov 18, 15:11 16
- what makes a tamale illegal? -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 15:12 15
  - unicorn meat -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 18, 15:19
  - undocumented tamales -- nm - budice Nov 18, 15:17 3
    - I am sure they came over on tamale boats. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 15:19 2
      - We can fix it by building a tamale wall. - Beryllium Nov 18, 15:22 1
        
        Mmmmm...tamale wall. -- nm - toblr.2 Nov 18, 15:24
  - they're made from kinder eggs -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 15:16 1
    - This one -- nm - toblr.2 Nov 18, 15:17
  - [deleted]
  - They're Mexican. Keep up. -- nm - Mop Nov 18, 15:14
  - I read the article. Pork from outside the country can contain swine flu etc. -- nm - Bacon Nov 18, 15:14 3
    - there were so many funny answers you could have come up with, this is why you fail. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 15:18 2
      - he's going by Bacon - he likely finds nothing funny about destruction of his kind. -- nm - b. Nov 18, 15:19 1
        
        It's not funny when meaten doesn't get eaten -- nm - Bacon Nov 18, 15:25
  - They're hot, duh -- nm - con_carne Nov 18, 15:14
  - Under 18. -- nm - Donald Trump Nov 18, 15:14
WSJ: LAX is set to approve plans to build a new private terminal that would allow celebrities to avoid paparazzi -- (link) - budice Nov 18, 15:06 6
- Are celebrities paying for it? -- nm - toblr.2 Nov 18, 15:11
- Can't they just come in at John Wayne, Bob Hope or Ontario? There's no shortage of small fields for private aircraft. - Mop Nov 18, 15:09 3
  - I presume this is for commercial flyers -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 15:15
  - lax already has private aviation, this would be a separate location that would allow - b. Nov 18, 15:14 1
    - you should be able to read the whole story at the top hit here. nm but: -- (link) - b. Nov 18, 15:16
- One stop shopping for the terrorists -- nm - Jamie Gumb Nov 18, 15:09
Maybe Yost didn't win because he upsets the view that sabermetrics are the only way to win. -- nm - toblr.2 Nov 18, 15:06
George Lucas quote about Disney taking over Star Wars is priceless. - Bacon Nov 18, 15:04 15
- Totally off subject, it's really weird to me that Lucas mostly lives here in Chicago now. I just saw him in the crowd at the Janet Jackson show a - pmb Nov 18, 15:27
- It was never not gobbledygook. - David Nov 18, 15:05 13

  - except done right in the original 3. -- nm - Remlik Nov 18, 15:08
  - Hush Darth David! -- nm - Bacon Nov 18, 15:07 8
    - Any time you people think I am crazy in regards to Avatar you only have to think about this. - Spawn Nov 18, 15:47 7
      - no. at least he saw s.w. movies before dismissing them. -- nm - b. Nov 18, 15:48 6
        
        But David watches *every* movie. -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 15:49 4
        
        still? in any case, that doesn't matter. you were against avatar before there was even much about it out there, then - b. Nov 18, 15:52 3
        
        I'm way behind on 2015 but yes. I'll watch virtually every wide release. - David Nov 18, 16:29 2
        
        ah, thanks, I'll update my (mental) notes. -- nm - b. Nov 18, 16:31
        
        You're providing a valuable service by beating on fanboyism. They will thank you if it turns into another TPM muckraker. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 16:30
        
        This -- nm - Bacon Nov 18, 15:49
Was there at least a penalty called? Or an apology offered? -- nm - David Nov 18, 15:03
Well now I'm hungry -- nm - con_carne Nov 18, 15:01 4
- from bb, when did you move in next to me? -- nm - b. Nov 18, 15:09 1
