    - [deleted]
  - it's amusing, but the backlash will come. -- nm - Andie Nov 19, 07:11
I'm still smiling over last night's Modern Family. -- nm - kelly Nov 19, 07:06 7

      - Spoils - kelly Nov 19, 07:14 2
        
        I really enjoyed it too. Not that the show has been unfunny, but that was a notch above. -- nm - oblique Nov 19, 07:15 1
        
        I wasn't a huge fan of most of last season. I love this season. -- nm - kelly Nov 19, 07:17
*flex* Chicago -- (link) - oblique Nov 19, 07:04

- *kicks dirt* -- nm - Nick Montana Nov 19, 07:05 1
  - *does some lines, shoots some guys* -- nm - Tony Montana Nov 19, 07:06
- I think Montana's success had as much to do with Walsh's system as his skillset, so maybe. -- nm - ML Nov 19, 07:05
HavetheSixerswonagameyet.com - decline Nov 19, 07:01 6
- and they're getting ready to start a 6-game road trip tomorrow -- nm - Strongbad Nov 19, 07:05
- How much longer before both fans revolt and burn the arena down? -- nm - Krusty Nov 19, 07:04 4
  - Soon. They probably won't win until sometime in December. You can't give tickets away -- nm - decline Nov 19, 07:05 3
    - home against the Lakers Dec 1 might be a chance. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 19, 07:07 2
      - Yup. The Lakers are almost as bad -- nm - decline Nov 19, 07:08 1
        
        watch the 500 fans storm the court if they win. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 19, 07:15

- braves trade Freddie Freeman to Marlins for Jose Fernandez - Strongbad Nov 19, 06:59
- And it just so happens that my home town team badly needs pitching... -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 19, 06:58 2
  - given the shallowness of the BoSox system, you'd be parting with your loved ones - ML Nov 19, 06:59 1
    - *handcuffs myself to Mookie and Bogie* - Mel Profit Nov 19, 07:04
54 hours into Fallout 4. Still a million things to do. No idea how much main story is left. -- nm - Tim Nov 19, 06:51 15
- I have no clue how many hours in I am. Is there a way to see that in-game? -- nm - Ender Nov 19, 06:56 1
  - Only from the save games. -- nm - Tim Nov 19, 06:58
- I expect that in three months you'll be able to post the same thing minus the story part. - Krusty Nov 19, 06:55 1
  - Like I said before, I put over 200 hours into New Vegas and still didn't do everything. I can't wait for the DLC, too. -- nm - Tim Nov 19, 07:00
- You guys make this game sound like work. - David Nov 19, 06:55 7
  - It's really a ton of fun -- nm - decline Nov 19, 07:02
  - It's involved but fun. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 19, 06:59
  - Nah. It's very much like wandering the wasteland and just surviving. You can follow the main story but most don't and just wander around looking - Krusty Nov 19, 06:58 2
    - I bet the main story can be plowed through pretty quickly. I've been...thorough. -- nm* - Tim Nov 19, 07:01 1
      - I usually do about half of the main story before leaving it alone for a while. I go back and forth with it after that but - Krusty Nov 19, 07:03
  - I've probably only spent 10 hours on the main quest. -- nm - Tim Nov 19, 06:57
  - I've never played Fallout, but I've played other Bethesda games, and... that's not totally wrong. -- nm - Reagen Nov 19, 06:57
- given no single-player mode in SW Battlefront, I'm glad I went with Fallout 4. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 19, 06:53 2
  - as I understand it, there is a single player campaign but it's quite shallow -- nm - ML Nov 19, 06:57 1
    - My understanding is it's less a "campaign" than a "mode". Things like surviving waves of AI enemies. -- nm - Ender Nov 19, 06:59
I've been married to Heather 13 years and have known her for close to 20. She's never really shown a bit of competitiveness until - prayformojo Nov 19, 06:45 10
- I need to get more competitive about this. I was in the beginning. I've slacked a lot lately. -- nm - kelly Nov 19, 07:05 1
  - I need to replace my broken one. Having ST'ers to compare to is cool -- nm* - decline Nov 19, 07:06
- this worries me. - Andie Nov 19, 06:52 6
  - This is all going to end in tears and ridiculously toned calves. -- nm - Reagen Nov 19, 06:55 1
    - When I got back from Disney, I had Maurice Jones-Drew legs. - David Nov 19, 06:59
  - "Irreconcilable differences" -- nm - budice Nov 19, 06:53 3
    - "I'm not trying to brag, Your Honor, but I did walk 6,000 steps to this divorce hearing. In your face, Dave!" -- nm - Andie si Nov 19, 07:00 1
      - (ha!) -- nm - Andie Nov 19, 07:02
    - what was it Rowan Atkinson was divorced for? "Unreasonable behaviour"? -- nm - Andie Nov 19, 06:59
- Am I hearing the lamentations of your woman? -- nm - David Nov 19, 06:47
I am so excited for Thanksgiving. I am SO EXCITED FOR THANKSGIVING. - gravy Nov 19, 06:44
*havemoreTOOLshowsbeenannouncedyet.com* [nm] - Mel Profit Nov 19, 06:43
Jared Fogle hearing expected to take several hours. It could extend beyond the Noon hour. -- nm - budice Nov 19, 06:40 2
- hopefully they can get somethimg healthy for lunch. -- nm - Reagen Nov 19, 06:49 1
  - Jimmy Johns! -- nm - Qale Nov 19, 06:54
More Survivor Talk (not spoilers) - Strongbad Nov 19, 06:40 10
- I'd go along with this. Didn't care for either of those seasons. -- nm - Jim Nov 19, 07:12
- are you using CBS all access? has it gotten any better? -- nm - fabulous squad Nov 19, 06:45 4
  - We're using Amazon Prime. CBS is awful. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 19, 06:47 3
    - Ok, have you watched all the seasons (so far) on Prime? I'm trying to get Amazon to watch with my boys...can't seem to find it. -- nm - Jim Nov 19, 07:22 2
      - I think we had to use CBS for like... 2-10? or 12? At that point it jumps to Prime all the way to present. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 19, 07:26
      - not all of the seasons are on prime. a few early ones are missing. -- nm - fabulous squad Nov 19, 07:26
- Season 22 is one of my favorites. Rob simply willed his team to victory over and over again. - David Nov 19, 06:44 3
  - 22 is similar to Thailand - Strongbad Nov 19, 06:47 2
    - I agree with this. The main difference being (spoils - for 2 really old Survivor seasons) - Jim Nov 19, 07:09
    - (and Russell's problem was he didn't realize how people that had seen him play would respond to him) -- nm - Strongbad Nov 19, 06:53
So much historical revisionism - Reagen Nov 19, 06:33 26
- [deleted] 1
  - It's because she looks a bit weird stancewise. -- nm - Shaun Nov 19, 07:00
- side by side pictures don't lie. -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 06:51 15
  - I would note as mentioned on B2 that you are perhaps not the best judge of what men find attractive in women. -- nm - Reagen Nov 19, 06:53 12
    - I'll tell you what's not attractive on women - *empire waist dresses* - Max Nov 19, 06:57
    - Yes, just like you can't opine on whether a man is attractive b/c you are far too hetero - ty97 Nov 19, 06:54 10
      - I don't think it's that..I think it's the comparison. For example, we can all agree that Hemsworth brothers are good looking guys. But who's hotter? - Jim Nov 19, 07:11 4
        
        Liam. It's Liam. -- nm* - Andie Nov 19, 07:16 1
        
        If you say so. :) -- nm - Jim Nov 19, 07:19
        
        Thor. -- nm - Shaun Nov 19, 07:16 1
        
        agreed -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 07:19
      - I generally don't argue with gay men over who they find attractive, no. -- nm - Reagen Nov 19, 06:55 4
        
        And I haven't told you who to find attractive. I expressed an opinion. - ty97 Nov 19, 06:56 3
        
        OK, you're taking this a mite seriously, so... -- nm - Reagen Nov 19, 06:57 2
        
        You're both pretty. Wait... am I allowed to say that? -- nm - Ender Nov 19, 07:07 1
        
        *checks chart* - oblique Nov 19, 07:09
  - (mind you, this is like asking someone which is better: 1.52 billion dollars or 1.54 billion dollars) -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 06:52 1
    - 1.54B, why are we even discussing this? -- nm - oblique Nov 19, 06:53
- They just don't revise history like they used to anymore. -- nm - Max Nov 19, 06:50
- I'm a big fan of Lawrence - I think she's smarter than the average Hollywood bear and attractive but until she is in the modern equivalent of - Mel Profit Nov 19, 06:48
- hotness was different then than it is now, so its apples to oranges anyway. And there's really no need to try and make a comparison. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 19, 06:48 1
  - [deleted]
- I have no idea if that's true because I can't get past Lawrence's caked-on eye makeup. -- nm - Inigo Nov 19, 06:47
- She was pretty dazzling in an A&E version of Midsummer Night's Dream that used to air a lot in the 80s. -- nm - David Nov 19, 06:43 1
  - It was the 80s. Any lady whose hair wasn't frizzed 3x bigger than her head was dazzling. -- nm - Ender Nov 19, 06:55
- Reagen is correct. -- nm - Ender Nov 19, 06:34
What did ST think of Into the Badlands? - Strongbad Nov 19, 06:30 5
- It was ok. Dialog wasn't the best. A bit cheesy -- nm - decline Nov 19, 07:04
- I passed on it from the trailer. -- nm - Krusty Nov 19, 06:33
- Yeah, I'm the same......at least to see where they go with the Widow -- nm - prayformojo Nov 19, 06:33
- (it is only 6 episodes long :) ) -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 06:32 1
  - watching tomorrow night -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 06:36
Survivor talk from last night (sp?) - Strongbad Nov 19, 06:30 12
- I actually agree with the evolution part, but I don't think it's a permanent evolution (spoils) - Jim Nov 19, 07:06 3
  - I think that my only issue is that many players equate making "big moves" with making "good moves." -- nm - fabulous squad Nov 19, 07:14 2
    - Word. A thousand times, word. (spoils) - Jim Nov 19, 07:19
    - for certain -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 07:14
- I'm not a fan of this season. They're trying too hard. (spoilers) - Dano Nov 19, 06:36 5
  - Watching the secret/deleted scenes and listening to (spoils) - Jim Nov 19, 07:15
  - I wish they could vote off Jeff Probst. -- nm - Dark Callisto vs. Evil Dead Nov 19, 06:39 1
    - He's never had Phil's charm. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 19, 06:42
  - Agreed. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 19, 06:37
  - haven't seen last night's yet, but I find that is typically the case for any returning player -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 06:37
- spoilers - Dark Callisto vs. Evil Dead Nov 19, 06:31 1
  - At least he seems to have stopped trying to force "Old School vs New School" on us. -- nm - Jim Nov 19, 07:20
Reddit is utterly unreadable but it looks like somebody deleted that Lionsgate thing. - David Nov 19, 06:30 14
- It's the same thread structure as ST, with initial comments being left-justified and replies are indented. -- nm - Shaun Nov 19, 06:34 11
  - If ST had millions of users, all of whom could reply to the same thread at the same moment. -- nm - David Nov 19, 06:39 1
    - The default subreddits can get very overcrowded with posts and if you're not one of the early commentors it's likely to get lost in the noise. - Krusty Nov 19, 06:48
  - Yeah, I have no issue with reading reddit. I enjoy the site and have a few subreddits I check daily. -- nm - Krusty Nov 19, 06:35 8
    - I *love* legal advice. -- nm - fabulous squad Nov 19, 06:46 1
      - r/DIY and r/BuyItForLife are two I like but for reading r/TIL is awesome. - Krusty Nov 19, 06:53
    - It's a fantastic site. -- nm - Shaun Nov 19, 06:37 5
      - It really is and I hope they stay around a while. So many good subreddits and there's one for every imaginable subject, -- nm - Krusty Nov 19, 06:54 4
        
        Which is both amazingly awesome and scary at the same time. - Shaun Nov 19, 06:57 3
        
        Yeah and that's where a lot of the issues with the site lie. The racist and hateful subreddits are awful and a cause for concern. - Krusty Nov 19, 07:00 2
        
        They are pretty easy to avoid though, since you actively have to search for them. -- nm - Shaun Nov 19, 07:01 1
        
        True. That they exist seems to bother a lot of people. -- nm - Krusty Nov 19, 07:05
- I posted the archive of the original post. He was just mad at how Lionsgate controls their films. - Krusty Nov 19, 06:33 1
  - Those theater operators sound like a whiny bunch of girly-men (no offense Filmjerk :) - oblique Nov 19, 06:48
2nd largest diamond ever found -- (link) - Beaker Nov 19, 06:29
Word. -- nm - Jim Nov 19, 06:28
