Wait, did we do Weekend Plans poll yet? -- nm - Andie Feb 12, 11:44 7

      - Phrasing! -- nm - Mop Feb 12, 11:48
speaking of 80's music, I think hair band history has some how been rewritten. Poison now gets more recognition than they did then. - Epiphany Feb 12, 11:42 6
- Poison got loads of airplay, etc in Australia in the 1980s, while I never even heard of Tesla or Great White -- nm - Roger More Feb 12, 11:47
- I remember Poison being huge. Great White was slightly lower, and Tesla, whom I love, didn't have that kind of attention. - David Feb 12, 11:46
- they were huge on the MTV request thingy. it was Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, then Poison -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 12, 11:44 1
  - see I think Bon Jovi was bigger than Poison and while they get some airplay now - its nothing like Poison - Epiphany Feb 12, 11:46
- Poison had far bigger hair than Tesla/Great White. - Spawn Feb 12, 11:44 1
  - hee - true that -- nm - Epiphany Feb 12, 11:45
ugh, just read a review of the Walking Dead episode Sunday. No spoils, but I likely won't bother watching. -- nm - Beaker Feb 12, 11:37 7
- I watched every episode until this season. Gave it up, and have never looked back. -- nm - MDH Feb 12, 11:40
- You read the review on purpose? -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 11:39 1
  - didn't give specifics, my post below sums it up -- nm - Beaker Feb 12, 11:39
- spoils but not specific - Beaker Feb 12, 11:38 2
  - Yeah, but whose opinion was it? Were they on-board up until this episode? -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 11:40 1
    - yeah they qualify it - spoilers - Beaker Feb 12, 11:44
- more time to watch the premiere of Vinyl on HBO -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 12, 11:37
Overheard in the office just now.. "I yelled at him, but nicely." -- nm - Andie Feb 12, 11:24 1
- overheard in the office just now: the sound of the A/C system and not much else -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 12, 11:34
Reminder: The Peanuts Movie is now available on Vudu and other Digital HD outlets. - David Feb 12, 11:18 3
- And it *is* Ultraviolent. -- nm - WSS Feb 12, 11:19 2
  - center of her own attention -- nm - oblique Feb 12, 11:20 1
    - Mel just twitched. -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 11:24
~are you hiding somewhere behind those eyes?~ - Epiphany Feb 12, 11:06 12
- ~I don't want to talk about it, what you do to me, I can't live without it~ - Spawn Feb 12, 11:09 10
  - Roxette had a song called "Silver Blue" that I really liked, not one that ever got radio play. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 11:10 9
    - Tourism, track #10. I love that album. I have the track list imprinted on my brain. -- nm - Mop Feb 12, 11:44
    - ~Before I fade to silver, silver blue for you.~ - Spawn Feb 12, 11:11 7
      - impressive -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 11:12 6
        
        The video was out after Dangerous and before It Must Have Been Love. -- (link) - Spawn Feb 12, 11:16 [youtube] 5
        
        it was on my sexytime mix tape, that would get played often. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 11:23
        
        of course you're a Roxette expert -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 12, 11:16 3
        
        Nothing wrong with being good at things. - Spawn Feb 12, 11:18 2
        
        Roxette was for people who thought Milli Vanilli were too edgy -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 12, 11:37 1
        
        It is more the time period. I was into all sorts of music in the 80s/late 80s. -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 11:39
- one of my all time favorites. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 11:07

  - Mr. Darcy don't take Mondays off -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 12, 11:07 1
    - Nope. Mr. Darcy's owners have a new baby girl so even when they're home they prefer me to walk him. -- nm - Krusty Feb 12, 11:10
- Federal holiday! -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 12, 11:06
- Nay. Threat of ice/snow too. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 12, 11:05 1

Whoo!! I just ticked over 2.7B over there. Thanks Deadpool! -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 11:01
Leonard Maltin walked out of Zoolander 2. -- (link) - Shaun Feb 12, 10:59 21
- Wow. -- nm - Krusty Feb 12, 11:09
- it looks terrible -- nm - decline Feb 12, 11:03 17
  - yeah, I will be honest, I love Farrell, but I just don't get Zoolander. - groiny Feb 12, 11:05 16
    - We are just on the opposite side of everything today -- nm - amoxy Feb 12, 11:44
    - ditto. I am baffled. - Mel Profit Feb 12, 11:35 3
      - There's Something about Mary is an absolute masterpiece. -- nm - David Feb 12, 11:48
      - I have liked movies that he is in, but he is not the reason those are funny. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 11:47
      - FA who has had to racial stereotypes and wearing a dress to beg for laughs. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 12, 11:36
    - Blame Vogue. -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 11:31
    - i love the first one. I am sorely disappointed this one sucks. -- nm - Andie Feb 12, 11:11 9
      - Yeah me too -- nm - amoxy Feb 12, 11:43
      - i doubt many people will be crying for Ben Stiller -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 12, 11:30
      - I'm not disappointed, but only because I'd psychologically prepared myself that it would suck -- nm - Roger More Feb 12, 11:23
      - I know the feeling, since BoondockSaints and Anchorman shit the bed in their sequels. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 11:15 5
        
        I am rather annoyed. For our anniversary, Amy and I are doing the simple movie and dinner. Z2 was going to be the movie. - Spawn Feb 12, 11:23 4
        
        Go see the Alison Brie movie!!! -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 11:24 3
        
        About breaking up and being single? - Spawn Feb 12, 11:25 2
        
        *shrug* -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 11:27 1
        
        I kind of need someone to see it and say it is worth seeing, you know? -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 11:30
- so it is Anchorman 2 level stupid. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 11:00 1
  - We turned off Anchorman 2, so I guess so. -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 11:01
So, apparently, that exact Titanic replica cruise ship is actually being built. Expected to sail in 2018. -- (link) - Andie Feb 12, 10:44 8
- I don't see how it would financially, modern cruise ships have a dozen decks of cabins above the hull, the Titanic has 3? -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 12, 11:29 1
  - they just charge a lot more. -- nm - Andie Feb 12, 11:30
- With the same lack of lifeboats and bulkhead failures! -- nm - Mop Feb 12, 11:17 1
  - This time it will work! -- nm - Mr. Ismay Feb 12, 11:18
- Will Kate and Leo be on the ship? -- nm - eag Feb 12, 11:08
- James Cameron's fingerprints are all over this. -- nm - David Feb 12, 10:55
- Just ... no. - JaxSean Feb 12, 10:54
- Dawsonstravaganza -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 12, 10:45
" it's like certifying a preowned car" was very funny, Colin. -- nm - David Feb 12, 10:38
original vote-wasting candidate endorses current vote-wasting candidate -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 12, 10:29 4
- O'Malley endorses Sanders? -- nm - Strongbad Feb 12, 10:31 3
  - i don't think anyone actually voted for O'Malley -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 12, 10:34 2
    - Don't worry, if they did the DNC just allocated their votes to Clinton anyway. -- nm - Ender Feb 12, 10:42 1
      - just like they did for Obama, those Hillary-shills -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 12, 10:45
"The the face-off machine." "Got quarters?...costs fifty cents." .... - Will Hunting Feb 12, 10:29 1
- Angry Statham is hilarious. -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 10:57
I actually really hope Forte signs with the Partiots. - groiny Feb 12, 10:28 29
- Will? -- nm - Mop Feb 12, 11:49
- I think he'd have to be willing to play for very little because I think they don't have much cap space. -- nm* - Krusty Feb 12, 11:05 2
  - I would guess unless the Cowboys overpay him, he will play for a chance to win. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 11:07 1
    - Sounds about right. I hope the Cowboys overpay him. -- nm - Krusty Feb 12, 11:11
- Jaguars! -- nm - JaxSean Feb 12, 10:47
- It's a move that makes a lot of sense for them. He's a dual threat, which is what Brady prefers. - David Feb 12, 10:35
- He's shown he can catch the ball out of the backfield too. Sounds like a good fit. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 12, 10:29 22
  - it fits in a lot of ways, really. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 10:30 21
    - feels a lot like the Corey Dillon situation. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 12, 10:31 20
      - sure, except Forte is miles better than Corey Dillon was -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 10:31 19
        
        I wouldn't say miles. Dillon had 6 consecutive 1000-yard rushing seasons in CIN, and rushed for 1635 his first year with NE. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 12, 10:35 18
        
        In terms of running the ball, they're about equal, which is to say very good. Forte's the better receiver. -- nm - David Feb 12, 10:39 16
        
        I agree. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 12, 10:41
        
        receiver and blocker he is fantastic. - groiny Feb 12, 10:41 14
        
        There was a guy on the Falcons board who openly campaigned for us to draft him way back when. - David Feb 12, 10:46 13
        
        he has been mostly underrated his entire career. - groiny Feb 12, 10:49 9
        
        If he'd played in the 90s, he'd be on Wheaties boxes. He's the deluxe version of Eddie George. -- nm - David Feb 12, 10:53 8
        
        I've always seen him as more of a Ricky Watters. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 12, 10:55 7
        
        That's a good comparison, too. - David Feb 12, 10:58
        
        eh, I think he is closer to Faulk than Watters. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 10:56 5
        
        He's too tall and not talented enough for that. Faulk's one of the three best I've ever seen. - David Feb 12, 11:00 1
        
        I can buy into the Edge compare. - groiny Feb 12, 11:04
        
        but, I never liked Watters all that much. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 11:00 2
        
        Watters and Forte are near the top of my list of underappreciated guys. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 12, 11:02 1
        
        Watters played on some pretty awesome offensive teams. - groiny Feb 12, 11:06
        
        Oh hey, I have a PFF question for you - Strongbad Feb 12, 10:48 2
        
        I'm going to miss being able to answer these. I really hope they change their mind on this nonsense. - David Feb 12, 10:52 1
        
        Cool, thanks. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 12, 10:54
        
        Forte is a complete back, playing on an offensive challenged team for a chunk of his career. -- nm* - groiny Feb 12, 10:37
Now I am curious what scene of Mad Men this happened -- (link) - amoxy Feb 12, 10:28 1
- she can pee on me anytime -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 12, 10:33
Two dead at Arizona HS. Shooting. -- nm - Spawndroid Feb 12, 10:23 2
- Possible murder-suicide. -- (link) - mara Feb 12, 10:28
- fucking Captain America -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 10:23
Mel - how many tickets did you get for the 2nd show? -- nm - Diva Feb 12, 10:22 4
- 2 -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 12, 10:25 3
  - hmm... -- nm - Diva Feb 12, 10:36 2
    - What? -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 12, 10:38 1
      - :) -- nm - Diva Feb 12, 10:41
