Rubio got blueberry pancakes w blueberry syrup. He's trying to eat soft foods, he said, because he cracked a molar on a Twix bar yesterday. -- (link) - Beaker Feb 11, 08:25 19
- I don't know whether to love or hate that this is 'news'. -- nm - ty97 Feb 11, 08:45

    - I saw it in Florida over New Year's and was super impressed to stay unspoiled (save one not-so-major item) then. -- nm - ty97 Feb 11, 08:32
    - yes. I actively avoided spoilers - like I don't even know - Epiphany Feb 11, 08:32 4
      - awesome. enjoy. -- nm - Beaker Feb 11, 08:55

        Even then, how does no on think "we need to override the process before that happens!" -- nm - ty97 Feb 11, 08:27 3
        
        Because there's no one responsible for doing that. The process is to get everything out as efficiently as possible, not think about things. -- nm - Roger More Feb 11, 08:59 1

    - Girrrlllll, you have to see this to believe it. - Epiphany Feb 11, 08:40 1
      - all over that. thx for the tip! -- nm - Diva Feb 11, 08:42
  - Oh, I know how it's possible.....It's possible because he *can't seem to keep his goddamn shirt on most of the time*!!! -- nm - prayformojo Feb 11, 08:12 1

      - I totally figure it is. Plus, we saw spoils - Spawn Feb 11, 08:28 6
        
        Perfect. I accept that explanation fully and should watch the trailer again just in case. -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 08:30 5
        
        Yeah, I had to double check a few things, as well. spoil - Spawn Feb 11, 08:34 4
        
        I really really liked that trailer. I feel dirty now. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 11, 09:03 3
        
        Yeah.... I have decided to give in and have some hope. I hate Ben, but there is the chance that he actually *gets* this and can do it. - Spawn Feb 11, 09:13 2
        
        The only thing right now I overtly hate (spoils) - Will Hunting Feb 11, 09:15 1
        
        I think the movie will change that. spoils - Spawn Feb 11, 09:23
It's probably unfair but whenever Sheryl Crow is mentioned, I recall her statement (years ago) that you should only use one square of toilet paper. - ty97 Feb 11, 07:53 3
