      - ding ding ding -- nm - Beryllium Feb 1, 18:09
- Scott is 6'8". Coop is waaay to short -- nm - Beaker Feb 1, 17:30 6
  - That's rather moot. You can't cast based on height. You're height-ist. -- nm - Mop Feb 1, 17:33 5
    - well I guess we could cast Kevin Hart as Subban and just make everyone else shorter. -- nm - Beaker Feb 1, 17:34 4
      - Mouthy, funny side-kick. That's where I was going with this. -- nm - Mop Feb 1, 17:35 3

- I'll have the most expensive thing on the menu, stuffed with the second most expensive thing -- nm - prayformojo Feb 1, 17:36 1
  - very well. Lobster stuffed with tacos. -- nm - Reagen Feb 1, 17:38
- I think it's the what possible utility can spending that amount on dinner possibly garner for the diners other than them revelling in conspicuous - Loyola Feb 1, 17:31 3
  - what extra utility are you getting out of a Bugatti Veyron or a 10000 sq ft mansion? - Reagen Feb 1, 17:33 2
    - It's not a like for like comparison. Paying $25 for a leaf of lettuce, versus paying it's true cost of 0.02 is more stupid. - Loyola Feb 1, 17:38 1
      - but how is it 1.5 milllion dollars better? - Reagen Feb 1, 17:41
- and it's better than them spending it on some tangible asset that they get to keep - Reagen Feb 1, 17:30
- you can spend a hella lot more on a bottle wine/champers, some places have $10k cognac or scotch pours -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 1, 17:30
ML, one thing about The Rock that drives me crazy…… - Volnelk Feb 1, 17:27 4

  - Don't buy it. - Volnelk Feb 1, 17:35 1
    - it's about to be on, I'll let you know :) (as long as on before 10 cause watching Lucifer then) -- nm - Beaker Feb 1, 17:35
- ... you actually can't smell what he's cooking? -- nm - mafic Feb 1, 17:29

- He is the least scary of the top 3 GOP -- nm - Bacon Feb 1, 17:25 16
  - He's the most scary in electability I think -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 17:26 15
    - Only relative to the field -- nm - mr plow Feb 1, 17:29
    - Well yeah, but if you want to take your chances with Hillary hit a dud and getting Trump or Crazy Ted I would rather risk - Bacon Feb 1, 17:29 13
      - A Republican President is a Republican President. -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 17:29 12
        
        I 100% disagree with that -- nm - Bacon Feb 1, 17:30 11
        
        There's Republican presidents that wouldn't be a disaster. That's about as far as I'm willing to go with the electorate the way it is right now. -- nm - Reagen Feb 1, 17:32
        
        I don't mean they are all equal in beliefs / personality /style (obviously they are not) - ty97 Feb 1, 17:32 4
        
        Justice John Roberts is a right winger supreme court member but let Obama Care stand. - Bacon Feb 1, 17:33 3

        You do realize these are different branches of government with different roles, right? :) -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 17:33 1
        
        I do but it was a comparison that was obvious about crazy wacko and someone that thinks but has different ideas that I do or you do -- nm - Bacon Feb 1, 17:34
        
        Just like I would disagree that a Democrat is a Democrat. There are Crazy ass Dems and Crazy ass Repubs -- nm - Bacon Feb 1, 17:31 4
        
        I would pick a Moderate Republican over a Crazy ass Democrat just like I would pick a Moderate Dem over a crazy ass Repub. -- nm - Bacon Feb 1, 17:32 3
        
        Who is a mainstream crazy ass Dem? nm - Dignan Feb 1, 18:07
        
        you're using the term "moderate" equivalently - mr. plow Feb 1, 17:38
        
        If you pick a moderate Republican, you still have crazy ass Republican Congress - ty97 Feb 1, 17:33
just saw the Heineken "I need a hero" moderate drinker ad....for what it is, its genius -- nm - crash davis Feb 1, 17:23
I'm waiting for the early returns from Waukesha county -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 17:23 1
